J.K. Raymonds walked into the conference hall of the Mears corporation, removing her mind from everywhere it decided to wander that morning. Yes, she had avoided Ricky for two weeks, had sent a representative to attend every meeting that had to do with the company, but that didn't mean she missed him right? Now that she had hopefully fully convinced her mind of that, could her hands kindly stop shaking and giving her the creeps?
She took in a deep breath and pushed the doors open, recognising the voices of the board, especially the Huan Juan Asian woman she respected a lot.
"Good morning ma'am... Sorry, Ms. Raymonds." Ginger greeted, leading her to the seat usually reserved for her- at the edge, directly opposite Ricky. She did the first thing she could think of; take a deep breath, and fixed the smile she had perfected so well.
He scowled in return, and turned his face away from her. Okay gre
If Jade hadn't clearly heard the words come from the chairman of the Mears corporation board, she would have concluded that Ricky had had a hand in it. Wait, what if he had? No, virtually no one outside the holders of top positions in her corporation knew that she modelled the Raymonds corporation products herself under a pseudonym, which left her to look at them with an expression that said she already knew they were guilty. To her surprise and yet relief that they hadn't betrayed her nor violated the contract of non disclosure agreement they had signed, they shook their heads twice; they weren't guilty.She glanced at Ricky, his eyes were on her, but they were unreadable, expressionless, betraying nothing but coldness, indifference. He seemed to have hated her.She felt hurt, but tapped her fingers on the table, speaking up. "Now why would you think of such a thing sir?" Jade asked, ignoring the shar
Ginger's fingers and dimming of the hall made her eyes and mind go away from Ricky and his troubles, to focus on the screen. Her heart pounded as pictures of her modelling lingeries, cocktail, dinner, party dresses and professional wears, with her back or side to the camera were displayed on the screen. There were pictures of her long shapely spotless legs modelling foot wears and others, so many Ginger couldn't scroll down anymore.Heavens help him, but he felt the temperature of the room go up by a number of degrees. He was conversant with different models, had dated a handful of them as well, but he admitted to himself that Louisa... J.K. Raymonds was a spec. Her body was fucking banging, and he wondered again why she hid her identity.Was it because she wanted to maintain her principled personality and felt it was degrading pf her reputation to have her body exposed to international magazines?But for some reason, he didn'
Ricky Mears woke up with a start. It wasn't because he hadn't woken up with a warm body beside him and legs wrapped around his; he had stopped calling Lilian after three days, not just because he felt himself remain limp and unable to quench his desire in the last three nights they were together, but also because he could not look at her perfectly well shaped body without comparing her with the other tanned skin woman who had awoken more desires in him than he couldn't release himself from.And damn had he tried to relieve himself of the throbbing ache in his groin and failed to attain that height of release except when he imagined Jade's eyes filled with ecstasy, her back arched as she reached her climax.He had fucking become insane, a complete goner for Jade who consumed his thoughts and made his heart beat in excitement whenever he did as much as remember her.At the end, he'd had to stop having sex with Lilian, and ended it wit
The scorching skin-itching heat welcomed the two CEOs to their destination, and even before the automated voice in the flight announced that they had arrived, they knew, that they had arrived in Dubai, where scorching heat and hot sun mated to become one."Fasten your seatbelts, we're about to land." The female voice spoke again, and Ricky glanced at Jade who sat a little distance away from him to know if she was still asleep.Just as he had been stealing glances at her for the past few hours.He had to admit he had been surprised when she arrived at the airport where the jet had been parked in a private space with her assistant and the airline staff behind her carrying her luggage, before she explained that her pilot and engineer hadn't been aware that the new private jet she had purchased had broken down.He was pleased with the development, and at the same time mad at himself for being happy to be clo
Where had that come from? He stood immediately before the throbbing of his need would start, eager to put some distance between himself, and her fragrance, breathing, words and every other thing that aroused him; all of her.Ginger approached him then already changed into flannel pants and blouse. She had traveled with him to Dubai before, and had known through experience how the heat could make one uncomfortable. "Did you check the hotel for the reservation?" He asked as she pulled out his bag and hers. He took his from her without a word, waiting for her to reply."Yes sir, I did. They have the erhh" She made an excuse me gesture with her finger, pulled out an i-pad from her bag and swiped it. It didn't come as a surprise to her when her boss grabbed his sunglasses and matched out. It had never been his style to wait, and therefore she had learned to walk fast, in other to catch up with him, and she did just that immediately after telling ja
"See you all later." Jade finally replied, walking sluggishly to the door and placing her card on it. The doors opened, and as the females walked in after her carrying her bags and asking where they would put them, she muttered 'anywhere' and slumped in bed, shutting her eyes just as soon as she removed her bra and the sweater. She let out a deep sigh of relief lying in the short lacy undergarment that gave her comfort.Minutes later, she heard the doors open a crack. Uhh, she groaned, not yet ready to smile at any butler. If only she had strength to stand up and close the doors, and if only the staff who had arranged her luggage hadn't left it open a crack."You're asleep already?"Her eyes opened. What was Ricky freaking Mears doing in her room when she was as tired as could be?"Mr. Mears?" She muttered tiredly, struggling to sit up and keep her eyes open. Awkward situation 500 level? Could someone ju
Ricky had never been a believer of romance novels, it had always been about getting laid and tossing aside. He often laughed at the foolishness he felt authors possessed when they wrote about feeling your breath get caught in your throat, your heart pounding at a rate you feared could kill you, your mouth agape in wonder, your mind consumed by the sight you beheld. How could he explain feeling everything at the same time, not being able to control every nerve stirring and springing to life?His eyes were focused on her, from the open toe heels that revealed those well pedicured nails that teased him, making him want to get down and suckle them, to the body hugging wine red gown that did every justice to her champagne glass shape, perfect, flawless, tempting, seductive. He finally let his eyes go to her face, and he wondered how she possibly did that make up that highlighted her high cheeks and honey brown eyes within such a little amount of time.
"Well I am. I acted in an opera when I was a child. Let's get back before they think we've run away."She laughed harder, so hard she felt moisture in her eyes. "You acted in an opera? I can't imagine. Well I would gladly run away with that suite they gave me, especially in the bathtub." She was seeing a side of Ricky she had never envisioned, the side that she could just sit all day and listen to. He shut out an imagination of her in a bathtub and walked on, slowing down because he needed to hear her musical laughter again."It wasn't my choice. It was either that or join my grandmother and sister to purchase girly things while they tied me up and experimented them on me. It was horrible, the memory embarrasses me"That was when control left her, she held his shoulder for support and bent down laughing, throwing her purse in the process. He picked it up and dusted it for her, feeling smiles creep to his lips also.
