CHAPTER 111RUBY’S POVSunday passed quickly and soon, it was Monday. That morning, I got up earlier than I usually did, dressed in something simple; a pair of jeans and a blouse. Then I held my hair up in a high ponytail and took a bag big enough to take anything I would have to buy for my classes at the gallery.Then I made my way to the living room and Clarissa was on the phone while she poured herself a glass of juice. Quietly, I took an apron and wore it over my clothes before I began to make breakfast for us.Then I listened to her conversation and I could tell she was speaking to her waitress back at her cafe. I was guessing she did well with the sales while we were in New York because Clarissa didn't seem mad.Soon she was done and I was slipping the last of the ingredients onto the slice of bread I was using to make a sandwich. Then she smiled at me before she joined me at the counter to see what I was up to.“Oooh, I've been craving a sandwich for some days now. I'm glad you

CHAPTER 113RUBY'S POV Classes commenced immediately after the whole introduction was over and Patricia took a place at the front of the class to speak to us. I was three weeks late to the class but they told me I hadn't missed a lot because the classes were only three times a week and I could catch up with Patricia in private. Eased that they were interested in carrying me along, I paid attention in class and when it was time for us to paint, Patricia said to open up our minds, free our souls, be transparent with our feelings and draw what felt closest to us in our hearts.The others set to work immediately but I was stuck for a moment. I didn't know how to go about it or what image to have in mind. I was going to draw Sally even if a drawing of her by me wouldn't be perfect but I was terrified.If Dax was the one who got me this membership and he knew Patricia personally, she could give him reports on what I painted and took pictures of and if she told him in secret that I drew an

CHAPTER 115RUBY’S POVWhen I got to Miss Garnet’s place according to the address she gave me, I took a moment to compose myself before I pressed the doorbell the first time but there was no response. So I pressed again and waited a moment while holding onto Sally’s hand. Soon, I heard shuffling of feet from behind the door.I heard her open her peephole first and I smiled. Then she opened her door with a smile on her face too and we both hugged each other before she noticed Sally who was still beside me and not saying a word.“I’m so glad you could make it, Ruby. At a point, I wondered if you would call and tell me you can’t come again. I’ve been watching you and I just felt like you were the kind of person who opted out of plans at the last minute because your anxiety and fear got the best of you” she told me and I chuckled quietly because she was right.Over the few days that came before the weekend, I pondered about her invitation to come over and talk at her house and I wondered

CHAPTER 117RUBY'S POV “Tell me how much you want me right now, Ruby and if you are not convincing enough, then we’re going to bed right away” Dax said to me and my jaw dropped while I stared at him in shock. If he thought he was in control of the situation, then he had to be joking because I was about to show him I was the one in control.“Is that a threat, Mr. Kellen?” I asked him seductively, my voice barely above a whisper while I trailed my fingers down his chest and he chuckled when he realized what I was doing.“Use your words, Ruby and keep your hands where I can see them because I’m not going to let you turn me on with your hands” he replied and I smirked as I placed my hand over his length at that moment, making him drag in a long audible breath in reaction.“I’m sorry, what were you saying?” I asked, trying to act clueless and he shot me a sharp, lustful look after realizing this was a losing game for him and he was eventually going to pleasure me as I wanted.“Ruby…” he

CHAPTER 119RUBY'S POV Dax got ready and returned just as I asked him too and I on the other hand was almost ready too. So he waited in the living room while I put on a black colored with white flowered patterned sundress.Then I held my hair up in a ponytail and wore a pair of shades before I grabbed my purse and left for the living room where he waited only to see he was getting drilled by Clarissa for using the window and I held back my laughter when he looked at me with eyes that cried for help.“Okay, okay. That's enough Missy. Next time, he'll use the door to coke in okay?” I interrupted, gaining her attention as she stopped drilling Dax to look at me and she frowned. “Whatever. Soothe yourselves” she snapped and stood up before exiting the living room. Dax stood up and I internally swooned at how effortlessly good he looked. He was dressed in all black; a pair of black jean trousers, a black T shirt along with a black leather jacket and I realized he was holding his hand out
