《His Lovely Obsession (English)》


 Chapter 1: PROLOGUE

    Chapter 1: PROLOGUE


    He is Nichs Derick Alcantara, 30 years old. A son of a shipping magnate. When he was 28, became


    a self-made billionaire . He opened up his own businesses rted to automobiles. Aside from buying


    and selling cars, he has several auto-detailing shops all over the country. He also has car rental


    businesses and he is into car wash services as well. His brother is the one helping their father with their


    family business. He became a rich and sessful businessman without the help of his old man. But


    since his family is well-known, his surname is very influential.


    Because he is very good-looking and is filthy rich, no one hardly says no to him. He is used to getting


    his way. Many pretty women are linked to him but he never takes them seriously. He feels that females


    are all the same. They are all easy to get and if a man is not careful, they can be clingy. When he has


    sexual urges, he can have any gorgeous female he wants. He never has sex with the same woman


    twice. For him, fucking one woman once is enough. There are oceans of them so why just be with one?


    There is fun in variety.


    Her name is Stacey Anne Ledesma. She is 23 years old.Her family used to be well-off but when her


    father died, they lost almost eveything. He died of a heart attack during one of his trips outside the


    country. Her mother didn''t know that her dad got hooked on gambling. Their house was foreclosed by


    the bank, they had to sell their business and other properties just to pay her father''s debt. Stacey was


    just 2 years old when it all happened. She just heard everything from her mother.


    Before her father''s first year death anniversary, Stacey''s mother got married again. Her mother is one


    of those women who can''t fend for themselves. She is not used to a hard life because she came from a


    rich family too.She got married again to an Australian and they had one daughter. Her half-sister''s


    name is Heather. Stacey is 4 years older than her. Heather is petty and wild and she always puts her in


    trouble to make her look bad in their parents'' eyes. She is so selfish and she can''t ept that her dad


    had grown to love Stacey like a real daughter. Heather wants all the attention and love. She never


    treated her like a sister. She is only nice to her when their mother or her stepdad is around or both.


    Stacey is gorgeous but she likes very simple things. She is not materialistic. Even when she was still in


    school, men flocked around her and wanted her to be their girlfriend. She didn''t want to be in a


    rtionship that time because her goal was to finish school. She wanted her stepfather to be proud of


    her since he was the one who sent her to school .


    She graduated from college with a degree in Fine Arts. She chose that course because she wanted to


    achieve her dream of bing a creative artist. But her career options are not limited to only that


    work. She can use her fine arts degree as the foundation for a broad range of career directions. From


    teaching, to management, to media and even advertising.


    She is now working in an advertising agency. Tyler who is her boss has been wooing her for several


    months now. He is tall and handsome.The kind of guy who can have any woman.


    But not her. Stacey told him that she is not yet ready to be in a rtionship but he is persistent . He

    said that he will continuously woo her until she says yes to bing his girlfriend.


    ***


    Nick is tired of his lifestyle. He needs a major change.It could get boring when you always get what you


    want.


    Stacey is content with her quiet and simple life. She doesn''t want to get involved with anyone yet. She


    wants to concentrate on her career. She is giving herself three more years before getting into a


    rtionship. Anyway, she feels that men are tooplicated. She doesn''t want that now.


    When Nick set eyes on Stacey, he told himself that women like her need to be taught a lesson and he


    is the right man to do just that and he will enjoy every moment.

    Chapter 2


    Nick has to agree that the woman is really hot. She has to be. She uses her body and face to lure men,


    being the gold digger that she is.


    "She''s okay." he said with a nd tone. He has no time for the likes of this Stacey Ledesma.


    Jim sighed in relief. It''s a good thing that his billionaire friend is not interested in Stacey. He doesn''t


    have any chance if he is.


    "Mate, if you will choose Con Ad to do your ads, then let''s get Stacey. I feel she is their best graphic


    designer! It will be nice seeing such a hot woman every day. " Billy said while grinning.


    "Fuck off!" Nick hissed.


    He doesn''t want that good for nothing money-grubber in his office.


    ***


    Stacey just got inside her car after her dinner with Tyler. She couldn''t turn down his invitation because


    two days ago, she already made an excuse when he invited her for lunch. And maybe out of


    annoyance with Jim, she finally said yes to a meal.


    Her phone started ringing. Her mother is calling.


    "Ma?"


    "What time will you be home?" her mother asked which made her a little nervous. Her mom won''t call


    her if it isn''t something important. She hasa feeling that maybe her half-sister did something again.


    Heather gets more out of control when her dad is back in Australia. .


    "I''m on my way home. Is there a problem, Ma?"


    She heard her mother sighed. "Let''s talk once you get here." Her voice sounds a bit sad.


    Stacey''s heart started thumping when she saw a police car in front of their house.


    Their hired help saw her when she got off her car.


    "Miss Pretty!" Amy called her by her nickname for her.


    She was about to ask her what happened but Amy spoke again, " Oh goodness! Your sister did


    something stupid again! All she brings to this family is problem! " she said before she snorted.


    Stacey stopped herself from heaving a sigh. She is used to their hired help. If they want to know the


    open your mouth. She''s a know-all most of the time.


    "She shouldn''t be driving her car! She is such a careless driver! She ran over someone and what''s


    worst is, her driver''s license is past its expiry date! What was she thinking? She always gives all of us


    splitting headaches! You are really pr opposites!! You never brought any trouble in this house unlike


    her!" she said while rolling her eyes and shaking her head side to side.


    "AMELIA!!" Mrs. Williams yelled angrily.


    ""Asshole in your piehole! " the maid eximed then ran quickly back to the house.


    Her mother sighed heavily in exasperation.


    "If it''s not difficult to find a trustworthy help these days, I will really fire her!" Mrs. Williams clucked her


    tongue.


    She bit her bottom lip before asking, "Is it true , Ma?


    Her mother nodded then said, "Let''s get inside so we could talk."


    Once inside the living room, they sat on the sofa next to each other.


    "Where is she?" She asked.


    "In her bedroom."


    " How bad is it this time?"


    Stacey saw her mom''s lips quievered which made her feel even sorrier for her.


    Heather has always been impudent since she was a child . Her uncle John stays in Australia almost the


    whole year so he pampered his only daughter with material things to make up for his absence. It was


    difficult for their mother to discipline her half-sister when her stepdad is out of the country. Her half-


    sister''s inexcusable behavior is even worse when her father is away.


    "Ma, you know that I never approved of the things she is doing but she is still my sister and I will always


    be here for you. What can I do to help?" she asked.


    Her mother hugged her.


    "I am sorry sweetheart if I rely on you most of the time and you always console me. It should be the


    other way around but you know how hard it is. I don''t know what to do with your sister anymore."


    "Please don''t cry. Just tell me first what really happened so I would know how I could help." she told her


    mother as she rubs her back to calm her.


    "Your sister said she wanted to go home but her friends were still enjoying the party. Pauline drove your


    sister''s car on their way there since she doesn''t like driving at night. She had no choice but to drive


    herself home when Pauline got really drunk. Unluckily, she ran over a woman."


    Stacey frowned, "Was it a hit and run?"


    Her mother nodded. Stacey closed her eyes for several seconds before releasing a heavy sigh.


    "She said she was really scared so without thinking, she drove away. You know Heather, she easily


    panics. But someone saw what happened that''s why the police were here. It breaks my heart seeing


    how afraid your sister is. She didn''t want any of these to happen. It''s an ident. " Her mother as


    usual sounded like she''s defending Heather.

    She chose not toment because it has always been like this. Her mother always justifies her sister''s


    actions. She would always say that they should just understand Heather . She is just being rebellious


    sometimes because she can''t be with her dad whom she loves so much. There were times when


    Stacey was tempted to say that she also grew up without a father but she had never acted like her


    younger sister. Her mother already has a lot of problems with Heather. She doesn''t want to add up to


    her worries anymore so she never voiced out her feelings.


    "Unluckily, the woman she hit is a model. Her handler said that she has a lot ofmitments . He was


    here with the police awhile ago.When he saw your sister, he said if she will take over his model''s


    the hospital bills."


    "Well I guess there''s no more problem, Ma."


    Mrs.Williams'' face had a bleak look.


    "You know that your sister''s college is very strict. She can''t do those pictorials."


    Stacey pouted. She knows where their conversation is leading but she still wants to hear it from her .


    "So what do you want me to do, Ma?"


    "Sweetheart, can''t you take your sister''s ce? Can you do the photo shoots instead?"


    She frowned. "You know I can''t. I have work."


    "Do it for me sweetheart. Please.. I don''t want your sister to go to jail." Her mother covered her face


    and cried.


    Stacey closed her eyes then sighed heavily. It''s same old,same old.


    Like when they were kids, all the things that her sister didn''t want to do, she, as the elder sister had to


    do them. Their mother would always tell her that since her stepdad treated her like a real daughter too,


    the least she could do is to be more understanding of her younger sister. And she should always be


    ready to support or help Heather.


    Maybe their mother is forgetting that she had been in a lot of trouble because of her half sister. But


    because she is indebted to her stepdad, she just kept quiet and neverined.


    "Stacey?" she heard her mother called her in a soft voice. Without looking at her, she said in a tone


    without any emotion. "Ma, I have to ask Tyler. I don''t want to have problems with my schedule at work."


    Her mother''s eyes lit up. "I''ll talk to him."


    Stacey just nodded sadly. She knows her boss who is also her suitor will never say no to her mother.


    "Thank you sweetheart! I will call Be, the talent manager. I will tell her that we can meet her tomorrow


    around 10 AM!"


    ***


    She is wearing ck skinny jeans and dark red top with half-sleeves. She has ck t shoes on. Her


    mother told her to leave her hair loose. She also applied very minimal make-up. She only put on


    lipgloss because her lips are naturally a bit reddish.


    There are two other females sitting across them who look like models. One of them whispered


    something to the one with darker hair while looking at her and they giggled. She just tried to ignore


    them.


    "Mrs. Sofia Williams?" Called a female''s voice.


    Her mom stood up and motioned for her to do the same. They got inside the office.


    She was told that Be is a transvestite and a pretty one and she has to agree. She looks like a real


    female. So pretty and smart.


    Be greted them and her smile widened when she saw her.


    "Mrs.Williams! Good morning! Is she your older daughter? My..my...my! She is gorgeous! I see that


    beauty really runs in your family! Come on, let''s all sit so we can talk properly." Be said while


    sounding really pleased.


    "Her name is Stacey." Her mother said before she sat down.


    She on the other hand, roamed her eyes around Be''s office.


    "You are lovelier than your younger sister, Stacey! You can be a full time model if you want! I will take


    care of you! "


    Stacey''s brows knitted when she saw the pictures of women on the wall.


    "Oh! Those are our models! You are prettier than them! Andrea will look in next to you!"


    "Andrea?" She asked.


    Be nodded."Yes.She is my talent. She is the one your sister ran overst night."


    She swallowed and directed her eyes to her mother who is also looking at the pictures.


    "What kind of model is Andrea?" Mrs.Williams asked with a heavy frown.


    "She''s a men''s magazine model!" the talent manager said with pride.

 Chapter 3

    Chapter 3


    GOSH! Men''s magazine model? What did I put myself into? Stacey asked herself.


    She knows that she is in big trouble. She just wished that she can get out of this mess her sister


    created for her.


    "Didn''t your younger daughter tell you Mrs.Williams? My model had seen her in some parties and


    events so I am sure that she knows that Andrea is a men''s magazine model. " Be said.


    Her mother shook her head from side to side. " She didn''t."


    Stacey almost sneered. " Why am I not surprised, Ma?"


    Her sister is really too much. She can''t count any more how many troubles she had been because of


    Heather. But this is the worst so far.


    She heaved a sigh and turned to the talent manager. "What if I''ll say no?" she asked.


    Be sighed too. " I''m sorry Stacey. If you won''t do it, your sister has to face the consequences. We


    have no time to find a recement. In two days, the magazine will publish its edition for this month.


    Don''t worry, I already found ways to take care of Andrea''s othermitments. But you have to be at


    the pictorial tomorrow afternoon then the interview after that. If you do both, we will just forget what


    happened to Andrea."


    "What kind of pictorial?" her mother asked.


    "Calendar girl for the month of June." Be said which made Stacey gasped.


    "Wait Stacey! It''s not what you think! Have you heard of Not Eye Candy Magazine? It''s not a cheap


    men''s magazine. Most of the women who pose for it are not even professional models . The concept of


    the magazine is to feature women from all walks of life. From ordinary females to celebrities. Flight


    attendants, college students, office employees and even actresses who want to be famous. Being


    featured in the Not Eye Candy gives them the chance to be well-known. It''s a stepping stone."


    Exined Be.


    Stacey knows the magazine. She saw Tyler once skimming through it. He hid it when he saw her enter


    his office.


    She agrees that it''s not an ordinary and cheap magazine because they don''t sell them in bookstores or


    magazine stands. Men should be subscribers of the publishingpany. The magazine is sent by mail.


    It is a bit costly too. But it''s still a men''s magazine.


    "After the pictorial is the interview. No worries. You won''t be naked in the photo shoot. You will be in a


    lingerie. It''s not that revealing. " Be said as if to console her.

    "Heather!" Stacey called her sister as she knocks on her door.


    "Sweetheart, let me talk to her. " their mother said maybe because she knows that she is pissed.


    She doesn''t easily get angry but this time, she is ready to explode.


    "Ma, please. Just let me do this." She said in a chilly tone.


    She was about to knock again when she heard their house help.


    "Mrs.Williams! Here''s Miss Heather''s water and medicine. She said she is not feeling well. "


    Her mother looked tensed.


    "Huh? What happened to her?" she asked Amy before turning to do the door again and knocked.


    "Heather? Sweetheart? Please open up! I have your medicine here." Her voice sounds really worried.


    Stacey shook her head from side to side. Her sister is really good in orchestrating situations. There is


    no way she can be able to talk to her now..


    Besides, whether she likes it or not, she has to attend the pictorial tomorrow.


    ***


    (Nick)


    "Mate! Look! My ex is with her friends!" Billy told him as he looks at the three women who just got in.


    They are in a bar. Billy was finally able to convince him to go. Actually, if not for his prospective client


    whom he is supposed to meet tonight, he really is not in the mood to socialize.


    "I''m not interested Billy." he just said while drinking whiskey sour.


    "Come on Nick! Just take a look! One of them seems mixed blood. The one with the dark brown hair!


    Very pretty! Nice body! Wow! Where the hell is Jim anyway? He will surely wants to mingle with these


    females!"


    He threw a nce at the group of women his friend is talking about. The two of them have ck hair.


    The one in a ck slinky short dress is the prettiest. She is probably the one Billy thinks is of mixed


    race but he is not interested. She is obviously checking him out by the way she stares at him. He just


    sighed heavily and turned his head the other way.


    "You really rock girl! How on earth were you able to go out of your house after pretending to be sick?


    You are not only a pretty face! You are so smart too!" Pauline giggled.


    Heather just beamed. She is a bit tipsy already. They came from another bar beforeing to this one.


    She wants to celebrate because she was able to manipte everything again. Her mother, as usual


    believed her drama. Her half-sister will do the pictorial tomorrow. Everything is going ording to her


    n,


    " You know that I want to be here so much." She said huskily as she stares at the hottest male in the


    bar.


    "I know. The most eligible bachelors of the city are present tonight." Rica winked at her.


    "You are just so lucky that the hottest is with them. Nick Alcantara! I bet he is even more sizzling up


    close!" Pauline whispered while feeling giddy.


    "Rica. " Heather touched her other friend''s hand. " Billy is your ex, right? Why not ask him to hook me


    up with Nick? Let''s go.I want to meet him." She said while walking towards the men.


    "Heather!" Rica called but Heather didn''t even turn her head, She doesn''t want to talk to Billy but she


    has no choice now. Stacey''s sister really wants to meet Nick and they know no one can stop her.


    Heather saw Nick once but only in a picture. It was one of her ex''s friends'' birthday. They were still


    together that time. Someone took their photo with Nick. Thetter is elusive which made him even


    more attractive to women aside from his very hot good-looks and tons of money. Not to mention his


    well-known and respected family.


    This is indeed an opportunity that their friend won''t miss.


    (Nick)


    "Mate! I think we will beid tonight!" Billy told him.


    He frowned. The three women areing to their table.The one in ck is ahead of the two. He just


    threw them a nce then went back checking his phone. He frowned. His client texted saying that he


    might not be able toe because of a family emergency. He cursed under his breath.


    "Billy!" Rica called.


    The two kissed each other''s cheeks.


    "Hi! Nice to see you here!" Billy said as he looks at Pauline and Heather.


    "My friend here wants to meet Nick." Rica said directly.


    Before Billy was able to speak, Heather sat next to Nick.


    "Hello .I''m Heather." she introduced herself and offered her hand.


    He frowned but shook hands with her. "I''m Nick."


    "Hello Nick. This is Pauline." Rica told him and he just nodded at the other woman then put some


    whiskey in his ss.


    Billy''s ex- girlfriend and the one called Pauline sat on the chairs opposite him. Heather is sitting next to


    him.


    "May I have some?" She eyed his ss. Her eyes are seductive. She is deliberately flirting with him.


    He has a feeling that she is a bit drunk.


    He just shrugged his shoulders. .He passed her the ss with whiskey.


    He didn''t see Billy smirked. His friend feels that he is bored and he is thinking that Heather can cheer


    him up. He wants to give them time alone.


    "Girls,let''s dance." Billy took hold of Rica''s hand and nodded at Pauline.


    The two girls eyed Heather. She smiled at them as if saying that they should go so she can have Nick


    for herself.


    Nick is busy tapping on his phone so he is not even aware of what''s happening.


    Heather did everything to seduce him but he is not really interested. She got annoyed because no


    matter how hard she tried, she is not getting anywhere with him. Even when he rubbed her tits against


    his right arm, she still got no reaction from him. That made her drink more than she should.


    Billy and Heather''s friends never came back to their table and he has a feeling that they left them alone


    deliberately. So Nick had no choice but to take her home. She is roaring drunk and could hardly walk.


    "Damn!" he cursed when he had to almost carry her to his car. He called Billy .He is still with the two


    women but in another bar. He got Heather''s address from Rica.


    Stacey can''t sleep. Amy told her that Heather snucked out of the house. By hook or by crook, she will


    make her talk to her tonight. She is in their garden to make sure that she won''t get away from her this


    time. She heard a car stopped in front of their house . She stood up to open the gate.


    "Women!" Nick sighed as he looks at Heather who is sleeping in his car.


    He needs to ring the door bell and carry her into the house. He has a grim expression on his handsome


    face. With onest exasperated sigh, he got out of the vehicle.


    He stopped in his tracks when a stunning woman in a white sleeveless shirt and light pink satin pants


    came out of the gate. He blinked twice. She has long light brown hair. She looks so hot in her top


    because it emphasizes her curvaceous body. She is very very attractive.


    Stacey opened the gate.


    She was stunned.


    A man got off the ck car. He must be over 6 feet tall. He is wearing a light gray shirt with long


    sleeves and ck pants. He is extremely good-looking. He has an overflowing sex-appeal which can


    make any woman stop and stare.


    They are both looking at each other.


    Then something dawned on Nick. He had seen this woman somewhere.


    He cursed.


    She is the gold digger from Con Ad.


    Stacey Ledesma.

 Chapter 4

    Chapter 4


    Gosh! He is so sexually hot! But he seems to be angry with me. I wonder why... She tought.


    She pouted her lips a little.


    He looks like a model because he is so attractive. He has a stubble which some women (including her)


    find very hot. He seems to be a snob but strangely, that added to his appeal. And the way he carries


    himself shows that he definitelyes from the upper social ss.


    (Nick)


    When he saw her pout her lips, he narrowed his eyes.


    Seems that she really knows how to make herself more alluring than she already is. He is not surprised


    if she is her boss'' lover and maybe some rich dirty old men''s too. He is pretty sure that she enjoys


    using her beautiful face and body to manipte men. If he didn''t know what type of a woman she is, he


    will definitely want to bed her. She looks like a barbie doll. She has an almost perfect body and her face


    exudes more than beauty. Beautiful is a subtle word to describe her . She is oozing with sex appeal


    and he is positive that she knows it.


    "Are you with Heather?" she asked in a sweet but worried voice.


    His lips formed a thin line. Even her voice is so fucking sexy. She seems to have everything.


    What does this womanck?


    He almost sneered when he remembered something. Of course.. this woman has no moral. She has


    no scruples in getting rich men.


    "Are you sisters?" he asked curiously.


    Although both women are very pretty and have smooth and fair skin, they don''t really resemble each


    other aside from the color of their hair which is light auburn. These days it''s somon to have hair


    dye so he isn''t even sure if their hair color is natural . But he has to admit that the gold digger is lovelier


    than Heather.


    She moistened her lower lip with the pink tip of her tongue which made him shook his head slightly. He


    felt his member reacted.


    Damn! She is a natural seductress! I need to control my body''s reaction. She lures men for money for


    Pete''s sake! He told himself.


    "We''re half-sisters." She replied as she walks nearer his car. She tried to look through the car''s window


    but since it''s heavily tinted, she can''t see anything inside.


    She smells so fucking delicious! He thought when her lovely scent filled his nostrils.


    "Is she okay?" she asked after turning to him.


    (Stacey)


    She almost caught her breath when he saw his face closely. She realized that he looks even hotter up


    close. He seems to be inhaling her scent. She almost smiled. Who wouldn''t feel giddy discovering that


    this very good-looking man likes how she smells?


    So he likes Midnight Heat by Beyonce..hmm..She thought.


    "She''s still in one piece!" Nick hissed .


    This woman is a man-eater! Don''t be taken by her scent and good looks! Nick angrily told himself.


    He can''t even find the words to describe how gorgeous Stacey looks this near. He is into beautiful


    women and unfortunately, though he thinks that she is a gold digger, he finds her really enchanting.


    She felt a little hurt with the way he retorted. She can''t understand why he seems to be angry at her.


    She can''t even remember meeting him before. If she did, she is sure that she will never forget such a


    man easily.


    He opened the car and got Heather who is sleeping on the passenger seat.


    " Why are you just standing there? Lead me the way to her room! She ''s not light!" he told her harshly


    when he straightened while carrying her sister bridal style.


    His tone made her feel stupid so she uttered, "I''m sorry. Let''s go this way." before walking before them.


    (Nick)


    Of course he doesn''t find Heather heavy. She is light as a feather. He just doesn''t like to be near the


    gold digger. He''s just a man with healthy sexual appetite and his body reacts narturally when a pretty


    female is around. But even if she is one of the loveliest woman he has ever seen, he doesn''t want


    anything to do with her. He abhors women who have sex for money.


    The garage is spacious. There are three cars parked inside it. The house is modern and the inside is


    quiterge too . He thought that Stacey is probably a kept woman of a very rich man or a politician. The


    house is too big for a middle-ss family. He grew more and more disgusted with her.


    They went to the second floor. Stacey opened the door near the stairs.


    "This is her room." she said.


    He walked to the bed and put Heather down He saw her staring at his back when he turned around .


    She hurriedly gazed down when she realized that he caught her looking at him.


    "Thank you fro bringing my sister home Mr....?"


    He ignored her. He just walked past her to go out of the room.


    ########


    Be telephoned early in the morning. She said that the call time is moved to an earlier time because


    ording to her , the editor panicked after learning that Andrea is not the model. He wants to finish the


    pictorial as fast as they could.


    Before 8 AM, Stacey was already at the studio. Her half sister was still asleep when she left so she


    didn''t have a chance to talk to her like she nned.


    Amy, their help, apanied her to the pictorial to help her with her stuff.


    She went in the dressing room. Her eyes widened when she saw what she is supposed to wear for the


    shoot.


    It''s a two piececy ck underwear. It''s very sexy but she sighed in relief that at least her most private


    parts will be covered. As they say, be thankful for small mercies.


    During the whole pictorial, she set her mind to think about beautiful things. She just imagined that it''s


    just her and the photographer inside the studio so she will feel less conscious. Aside from the


    photographer and Be, there are two women and two men in the studio. One of the men is in charge


    of the lights and the other one, with the props. The female in ck top and jeans is the wardrobe


    assistant. The one in white is the make-up artist.


    The room is chilly and with her scanty wear, she is starting to feel a little cold.


    She was given a fifteen minute break before the interview. Be brought her a small bowl of veggie


    sd and bottled water.


    "Wow Stacey! Your shots are really good! You are great! To think that you only had a 30 minute briefing


    and tutorial! How did you do that?! " the talent manager asked.


    " I just told myself that I have to do it well so it will be done soon." she said before forking some of the


    sd.


    "Very good! That actually worked! By the way, during the interview, you should sound husky and


    seductive, okay? And remember, from the start until the end, you should act and speak sensually. The


    interviewer will ask some naughty questions. Be ready to answer them .No holds barred! Here are the


    questions. " Be handed her a piece of paper. " Practice answering them while I talk to one of the


    editors and big cheese of Spice Up publishingpany. They are the publisher of Not Eye Candy


    Magazine." Be said before going out from the dressing room.


    Stacey pouted her lips when she saw some of the questions.


    When did you lose your virginity?


    How many boyfriends have you had?


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Do you sleep naked?


    Are you into oral sex?


    She massaged her temple.


    Gosh! How will I answer these questions? She asked herself.


    ***


    "Mate! Where are you? Hurry up! The interview will start in a few minutes."


    "I am on my way up. This should be really worth my time. I had to cancel myst meeting for this! "


    Nick said while sounding slightly irritated.


    Billy called him and he said that he has a surprise for him. His friend''s brother is the editor of a


    publishingpany which is owned by Billy''s family.


    Nick is not a subscriber of Not Eye Candy Magazine but since he and Billy are best friends, monthly, he


    gives him thetest issue. Most of the time, he just gives them to his older brother because he is not


    that interested. Why look at women''s sexy photos while jerking off when he can have any woman he


    wants?


    Billy is not directly involved in their business but he alwayses here from time to time to checkout


    the models.


    In the past, he tried to hook him up with some of their prettiest models but he said no. He prefers


    career women like flight attendants, writers, nurses. He had also bedded a female gym instructor, a


    teacher and even a university student. He is fussy when ites to women he fucks. He doesn''t want


    women with a lot of sex experience. Most of the models he knows have a lot of men. Ain''t his thing. He


    never had the same woman twice. He has a rule.. one woman, one fuck.


    He just got out of the lift when Billy came up to him.


    "Mate! In here! ! " He called him excitedly.


    They went inside an average sized studio. There are few people inside.


    They positioned themselves in the dim side of the room. All the lights are directed to a small stage.


    There are two chairs which are across from each other.


    "What''s this?" Nick asked with a light frown.


    "Miss June''s interview!"


    "DAMN IT! I came all the way here for that?" he rasped.


    "Cool it mate! This is not an ordinary interview! I was also surprised this morning! I heard that the


    model is not Andrea!" Billy said with a smirk.


    "The hell I care! I don''t want to waste my time for this!" he angrily said before turning around to leave.


    "Wait mate!" Billy tried to stop him from getting out but he didn''t even look back at him. He continued


    walking out.


    "Stacey Ledesma is the new model!"


    Nick halted and his back straightened with what his friend said.


    He cursed under his breath.

 Chapter 5

    Chapter 5


    "Stacey! In 2 minutes we have to be in the set." Be said.


    "Be? Do I need to be in these?" her voice is uncertain as she eyes her skimpy wear. She is in a white


    mini-dress which hugs her body like a glove. She looks very sexy and her silver strappy heels


    worried that her bikini can be seen once she sits on the chair. That''s how short her dress is.


    Her hair was curled and it touches her shoulders. Her face was lightly done. The photographer said


    that the camera loves her so she doesn''t need heavy make-up. She is lovely in person but she is


    lovelier in pictures and videos.


    "I don''t want people to see my underwear." She said while she crinkled her forehead.


    " You have to look alluring and ravishing. Just always cross your legs properly so they won''t see


    anything. And remember the answers to the questions which I taught you. You can''t tell the truth about


    you. Men find women with a lot of sexual experiences more attractive. And since this is a men''s


    magazine interview, your answers should be suggestive to hold the interest of the subscribers.


    Besides, no one would believe that you never had a boyfriend. You are too pretty!" Be said.


    She pouted but she nodded her head. She has to stop thinking that her boss Tyler will have the


    magazine and will see her interview and photos as Miss June. Every issue has a cd of the interview.


    She has to keep in mind that she is just projecting a sexy image and she is not like this in real life. And


    Be said that the female models of Not Eye Candy are mostly just ordinary women. She will just think


    that her photos were taken candidly while she was at the beach and was wearing a swimsuit.


    "You are really beautiful and sexy Miss Pretty! You are more beautifulpared to other models and


    actresses on tv!" Amyplimented her.


    "That''s why your sister Heather is so bad to you because you are lovelier than her. She is jealous of


    you!" she added.


    "Amy, please don''t every say that again especially when we are at the house. I don''t want Heather to


    hear that because that could cause more trouble between us." She reprimanded their help but still in a


    low voice.


    Amy just nodded and made a motion with her thumb and forefinger in front of her mouth as if zipping


    her lips which made Stacey let out a sigh.


    Then they heard knocks. That''s the signal that she should go out of the dressing room. The interview


    will start.


    She took onest look at her reflection and bit her bottom lip.


    This is so not me! Gosh! Sometimes the things I do for my family are too much! She told herself with a


    heavier sigh.


    ****


    "There she is mate! Dang!! " Billy whistled quietly when he saw Stacey.


    He looked at his friend and was quite puzzled with what he saw. Nick''s lips are a thin line and his brows


    are creased. He has a very strange expression on his handsome face.


    "Mate? Don''t you think that she''s soooo hot??! " He asked him in a voice that only the two of them


    could hear.


    Nick just continued to stare at Stacey. He didn''t answer his question. He can''t understand why he


    seems to be fuming inside ,knowing that the gold digger posed for a men''s magazine.


    I should not feel this way! She is not even worth my time! He angrily thought.


    Contrary to what he is telling himself, he can''t seem to stop staring at her. He can''t even wait to listen to


    what she has to say during the interview. He has no n of leaving the studio without watching her.


    ****


    Be introduced her first to the editor who is also one of the big bosses of the magazine, then to the


    male host and the female director. She was instructed to sit down after all the introductions.


    She became more nervous when she was told that the face of the host will not be shown on the video.


    The camera will be focused on her for more or less 10 minutes.


    "Rx. You look gorgeous on cam." Whispered Be before she left the stage.


    Leo, the male host took his seat too. He sat opposite her.


    The female director came to her to say, "Try to act naturally. Just imagine that it''s just you and the


    interviewer in this room. And as much as possible, look seductive all throughout the interview. Give us


    your sexiest smile. Think that you are talking to a man that you find very sexy and you want to seduce


    him. You look stunning Stacey, so rx okay? Take a deep breath!" the director suggested.


    All of a sudden, images of Mr. Grouchy, the man who took Heather homest night, entered her mind.


    She remembered how sexy and extremely good-looking he is.


    She just nodded at the director and rubbed her palms together because they feel mmy though the


    room is a little chilly. She made sure that she properly crossed her legs. She inhaled and exhaled and


    started to think about beautiful things and a tall hot male with stubble.


    "Roll the camera in 30 seconds!" the director said in a little loud voice.


    She tried to adjust her eyes to the re of the lights. The one which is focused on her is too bright. She


    can''t see beyond the cameraman who is in front of the stage.


    "Ready?" Leo asked her with a smile. He is a pleasant looking man who is maybe in his 40s.


    She let out a sigh then smiled back. She knows that he is trying to make her feelfortable.


    His smile became a grin before he leaned forward to her.


    " I''ll let you in on a secret. You are the most beautiful calendar girl I have interviewed. So be confident."


    He said then straightened on his seat again.


    She said thank you in a shy voice. It doesn''t matter to her if he was sincere or just said that to make


    her feel at ease. What''s important is she became less tense. He nodded at her while still grinning.


    Nick cursed under his breath which made Billy looked at him.


    He doesn''t like what he is seeing on the stage. That gold digger is flirting with the interviewer. He''s not


    aware that he is clenching his fists .


    "Ready in 3..2..1..Roll!" The director hollered.


    Leo introduced her by saying her name and the type of job she has. It''s a good thing that he didn''t


    mention whatpany she works for which made her almost let out a sigh of relief. They had a small


    talk first so she will feel morefortable which actually worked. She felt more rxed as he asked


    her about her hobbies, favorite food, color, etc, Though she knows that he is just preparing her for the


    hard-core questions, she sounded more at ease while she answered him.


    Though Be repeatedly told her a while ago to say the answers she taught her, she now decided to


    say her own. Be''s are too over the top for her. As long as she won''t mention that she is still a virgin,


    and she never had a boyfriend, she feels that the interview will go well.


    .


    "Stacey when did you lose your virginity?" Leo asked.


    She let out a lightugh.


    " I was old enough.." she said as she looks at the camera .


    "She looks hotter on video." Billy whispered to Nick


    There is a monitor in front of the director and they are behind her so they could see Stacey''s lovely


    face clearly. Once in a while, the camera shows a full body shot of her. Whenever Nick sees her


    exposed legs on the screen, he can''t help gritting his teeth. He thinks that her dress is way too short.


    It''s not even decent. But he has to admit that she carries it well. She wears it with ss but he doesn''t


    like her in such a very short dress and slinky wear.


    "How many boyfriends have you had?"


    "I haven''t been in a serious rtionship." she said.


    "Why? "


    "Maybe I haven''t found the right man yet." she said huskily. The face of Mr. Grouchy entered her mind


    again.


    "Well, I am sure a lot of men out there are happy to hear that. They still have a chance."


    Nick isn''t even aware that he is holding his breath.


    So she considers her rtionships with different men flings? That''s just bull!! He told himself.


    "Do you ever sleep naked?"


    She shed a very seductive smile." It depends."


    "Depends on what?"


    She sexily looked at the camera as she thinks of Mr. Grouchy''s very attractive features again.


    "I sleep naked when I feel hot and... wet...." she said before nibbling her lower lip, "... wet with sweat


    like when it''s summer and the air conditioner is defective." She added which caused Leo to chuckle.


    The director let out a smile.


    She witnessed now that Stacey is witty and she likes her. She is gorgeous, sexy and smart. Any man


    will want her.


    Billy nudged Nick with his elbow. "She''s great mate!" he said but Nick remained expressionless.


    "Are you into oral sex?"


    She sighed." I don''t want to say I am into it. Let''s put it this way..I am willing to do anything to give


    pleasure to my man." She said seriously. (That answer came from her heart. She will do that for love.)


    Nick felt his dick reacted to what she said.


    "Dang! She is awesome!" Billy muttered under his breath.


    "You did great Stacey!" The director shook her hand.


    Even Leo and the editormended her. They tried very hard to convince her to pursue a career in


    modeling but she politely told them no. Even Be did her best to persuade her to be one of their


    models but she refused.


    When she got inside her car, she congratted herself for doing such a great job. But she felt so


    drained after trying to pretend to be something and someone she''s not. She realized that she can''t be


    an actress because it was very difficult for her to act during the interview, It almost triggered her


    migraine. She is not only physically tired. She is also mentally exhausted.


    She can''t wait to get home. She just wants to forget what happened in the studio. After today, she is


    aware that her life will never be the same. A lot of changes will happen. But that''s fine with her. She


    had to do it. Heather is still her sister though she never treats her as one. She can''t let her go to jail.


    She chewed the inside of her cheek and took a mental note to thank Mr. Grouchy if she sees him


    again. Her seductive side came out because of him. She can''t help smiling when his images sh in


    her mind. She can''t deny the fact that she is attracted to him . But she feels that he will never be her


    man because he doesn''t even like her. He looked at her with disgust when he firstid eyes on her.


    Maybe that is one of the reasons why she can''t seem to forget him. He is different from other men. He


    All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    obviously doesn''t find her attractive.


    (Nick)


    He is in his bedroom staring at hisptop. He was nning to reply to some of his emails but he hadn''t


    done anything else but to look at the screen for God knows how long. He couldn''t seem to focus after


    leaving the studio with Billy hours ago.


    He finally took his cellphone.


    "Jim? Set an appointment with Con Ad the day after tomorrow. I want to talk to the graphic designer


    face to face." He told his assistant who is also his friend.


    He has the sudden urge to see the gold digger again.

 Chapter 6

    Chapter 6


    "Good." Said Heather without any emotions as she pours orange juice in a ss.


    Stacey just got home and saw her sister in the kitchen.


    "Is that all you will say?" she asked her. She is trying very hard to control herself.


    After all the things she had to go through just to save her from going behind bars, the word good is the


    only thing that her half sister will say?


    Heather just shrugged her shoulders. She put back the carton of carrot juice in the fridge before she


    turned to her.


    "What do you want to hear from me Stacey? You want me to say how grateful I am cause you saved


    my ass?" she asked sarcastically.


    Stacey balled her fists.


    Get a grip on yourself ! You know how bitchy she is! She told herself.


    "Well, my bad. It''s so stupid of me to expect any gratitude from you. This will be thest time that I will


    save your ass , you ungrateful brat!" she angrily said.


    "STACEY!" their mother''s shocked voice thundered in the kitchen.


    Heather''s expression change. She looks so hurt and almost in tears. She must have seen their mother


    "Mom! Did you hear what she called me?" she asked their mother with a quiet sob.


    Stacey closed her eyes for a moment.


    Gosh! Here we go again! She thought.


    "How could you say such things to your sister? It was you who offered to do anything to help! Have you


    forgotten that?" their mother asked her with knitted brows.


    Stacey slowly faced.


    "Ma, do you know what I had to do today?I was almost naked during the pictorial! I even had to do an


    interview and pretend that I am someone I''m not. I had to force myself to casually answer questions


    that for me are too personal and vulgar. And that''s not the end of it! This week, men will feast their eyes


    on my still photos where I am wearing almost nothing! Then my dear sister here won''t even say thank


    you?" she asked while swallowing a sob.


    Her mother''s face softened but then, Heather ran to her. "Mom! You know that it was an ident. I was


    just so scared cause I didn''t want to go to jail. I didn''t want any of those to happen!" she cried.


    "We know that honey but you should thank your sister." Mrs. Williams said.


    And the best actress award goes to Heather Williams!


    Stacey shook her head as she wiped her eyes full of unshed tears with her hand.


    "It''s okay Ma. No need for her to say thank you." She said before walking out of their kitchen. She


    heard her mother called her but she just ignored her.


    ***


    "I am itching to grab all your sister''s hair and p her non-stop!" Eve, her bestfriend since elementary,


    said.


    They are in her friend''s unit. Eve lives alone in the city because her family is in the province. She has a


    band with four members where she is the bassist and the other female member is the vocalist. They


    regrly y in a bar which she and ke own. They are cousins.


    "Girlfriend ! I have been telling you that Heather is deliberately putting you in trouble but this is too


    much! This is the worst so far!"


    "I know. Once the magazine is published, it will really change my life.I don''t even want to go to work


    anymore because Tyler is a subscriber of that magazine." Stacey said sadly.


    Eve stood up to get some more chips in the kitschen.They are sitting in a cross-legged position on the


    carpet.


    "Well, I have to agree. It is kind of awkward if your boss sees your photos, specially your centerfold.


    What''s worst is, he is not only your boss, he is also wooing you! " Eve said as she sat down again with


    the chips.


    "That''s what I have been thinking too." she sighed as she munched on some curls.


    Suddenly, Eve straightened her back . "Girlfriend! Maybe this is a sign!" she excitedly eximed.


    "Sign? What sign?"she asked with a frown..


    "We are nning to get rid of Leah, our vocalist. She is alwayste even for rehearsals so she always


    makes mistakes during performances recently. Even ke is already pissed. I know you can sing.


    Would you be her recement? It''s only temporary."


    Stacey let out a lightugh and shook her head from side to side. " Nope. I don''t want to be the


    "Come on! You are good! In my opinion, you are even better than Leah! And even if what you say is


    true, no worries! You won''t sing Celine Dion''s or Maria Carey''s songs! With your alluring face and body,


    you will captivate your audience! I bet on that! "


    She bit her lower lip. "I really don''t know Eve..."


    "Just try it! If you don''t really like it, no hard feelings! You can quit any time! You can sing tomorrow


    night! We will pay you! I can''t wait till ke hears this! I am sure he will approve!" Eve''s eyes twinkled.


    ***


    "Stacey? What''s this?" Tyler, her boss asked . He sounds really surprised as she expected.


    "Irrevocable resignation." She said.


    Tyler called Mara, his secretary.


    "I don''t want to be disturbed. I am in a meeting with Miss Ledesma." He said in a little chilly voice then


    hang up.


    "Why? Did I do anything wrong? Why are you resigning" His handsome face is full of questions and his


    eyes are sad.


    Stacey sighed as she looks at his features. Her boss is also very attractive but he is more like the


    Mr.Nice Guy type. But recently, she is more attractive to guys with rugged good looks and bad boy


    persona.


    "You didn''t do anything wrong. I just want a change. Sorry Tyler." she finally broke the stare.


    He stood up and sat down on the chair opposite her.


    "Please Stacey. Don''t quit. If you want, I will give you more days off. Or less working hours."


    She shook her head." You can''t do that. It will be unfair to the other employees. "


    He leaned forward without touching her. This is one of the things she likes about him. He never take


    advantage or make a pass at her . She told him that she wants a boss-employee rtionship inside the


    office. After office hours or during the weekends, he can woo her or ask her out on dates.


    "Is there anything I could do to change your mind?"


    She pouted her lips. "I''m really sorry."


    No one spoke for a few seconds after that. Then he sighed.


    "Well at least, I could woo you every day now." he said.


    ***


    "WHAT?" Nick asked in an irritated tone.


    His secretary just told him that Stacey resigned from Con Ad.


    "Are you sure?!" he asked again because he can''t believe what he just heard.


    "Yes sir. Would you like me to call them again?" she asked.


    He sighed heavily. "No need.Thank you."


    What the hell is happening? Why the fuck did she resign? Did her boss who is her lover too got angry


    because she posed for a men''s magazine?! He asked himself.


    "Why the hell am I wasting my time with that gold digger? DAMN IT!"


    He angrily kicked his table and threw some of the papers on his table in the air out of annoyance.


    ***


    "Uhmm. I think I am going to throw up from nervousness Eve."


    Stacey looked at what she''s wearing.


    She is in a pair of ck leather pants with matching sleeveless leather top. The garments are like


    second skin.


    "Girlfriend! You look fab! Don''t be jittery! Besides, this is just a trial. Here, have some alcohol." Eve said


    before handing her a shot ss with tequ. " This will calm your nerves. You have to look and act


    sexy because your image is an alluring diva. I know you can do this!"


    Stacey heaved a sigh and drank the alcohol. ke came inside and grinned when he saw her .


    "Hello Miss Hotness!" he looked at her admiringly.


    Eve''s cousin wooed her years ago but she turned him down. She didn''t like his types before although


    now, her preference in men had changed. ke is very good looking too and he has a big tattoo on his


    arm so a lot of women find him really hot just like Mr. Grouchy . Thetter seems to be a hot bad ass


    too but from the elite ss. Eve''s cousin might be her type now but she can''t imagine herself falling for


    him. He has a girlfriend already who is a flight attendant and they have a three year old son. ke''s


    parents who are in his hometown, take care of the kid since the mother is always out of the county. Her


    rtionship with him is just tonic now though sometimes they still talk about the old days for fun.


    Nothing serious.


    "Ready?" he asked her and Eve before he took their hands.


    "YUP!" They chorused.


    (inside the dressing room after the performance)


    "Told you that you will be a hit! This is the first time that the audience went that wild! " Eve said after


    their performance.


    Stacey sang three songs of Rihanna.


    She smiled. She really did it and she feels great!


    "I think I kind of like this." She admitted to her friend.


    By performing, she can release her stress . Anyway it''s only a few hours a night. She is just ying a


    role while on the stage so she can manage doing that. She can always go back to her real self after her


    performance. Being a sultry pop singer is better than posing for a men''s magazine.


    "Does that mean that you will be singing for us regrly? Eve asked with a wide smile.


    Stacey let out a lightugh. "I will try it for several weeks. Anyway I am totally jobless so this will be


    okay for the mean time. "


    Eve pped with glee ."This calls for a celebration!!"

    Nick is pissed. He now regrets agreeing toe with Billy and Jim. They are in a bar and his friends


    have women with them whom they just met minutes ago. They are all in one table.He doesn''t like the


    way one of the women looks at him. He is not in the mood for a one night stand.


    " I will go ahead. ." he said sounding annoyed.


    "Mate! Don''t be a spoilsport! ! Rina here wants to get to know you better."


    Billy was talking about the woman with short hair who has been eyeing him.


    He ignored Billy and stood up from the chair. "I really have to go. See you tomorrow at the office Jim."


    He told the other man before going out of the bar.


    He is angry with himself. The gold digger''s face and body has never left his mind.


    "DAMN IT!" he cursed as he walks to the parking area.


    He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw something.


    ***


    Stacey is on the opposite of the street. She is leaning against ke''s car.


    Eve is rubbing her back gently because she had too much to drink. ke got her bag in the dressing


    room. She forgot it due to her state. She wanted to throw her cookies few moments ago but she feels a


    little better now. ke will also take her home because Eve''s fiance will pick her up. They will go out on


    a date.


    "Are you sure you are okay now?" Eve asked.


    She nodded. " I will be fine."


    ke got out of the bar with her bag.


    "I will take care of her. Please check the inside again and tell Caloy to lock the back door and turn off


    the lights and switches." he told his cousin.


    "Okay. DO take care of Stacey and be sure that you take her home and not somewhere else! " Eve


    joked with a grin.


    " You and your crazy mind Eve!" Stacey said and shook her head from side to side but with a small


    smile.


    ke chuckled too.


    When Eve left, ke came near her, "Are you okay? Miss Hotness? Next time watch your drink okay?


    "


    She just nodded at him.


    "Okay.Let''s go." he said then held her elbow to help her get inside his car..


    That is the scene which Nick just saw.


    "BLOODY HELL!" he muttered angrily as he res at them.


    He''s pretty sure that this man is not the gold digger''s boss.


    How many men is she fucking?! He asked himself with disgust on his handsome face.

 Chapter 7

    Chapter 7


    (Nick)


    He is pissed with what he sawst night. That woman is a high-ss prostitute. She has too many men


    around her and the one she was withst night probably is her real boyfriend or maybe her pimp.


    What he can''t understand about himself is, he doesn''t like her kind but he can''t take his mind off her.


    She is a witch! She cast a fucking spell on me.! He told himself.


    He can still remember vividly her sexy as hell face and body. Even her scent is intoxicating.He has to


    admit that he lusts after her though he despises her type. He can feel his dick reacting just by thinking


    about the gold digger.


    Just one fuck..I will get her out of my system if I fuck her once.


    He stood up then dialed his phone to talk to his secretary. He ordered her to get the gold digger''s


    number so they can contact her. He will offer her a job.


    "Sir, I talked to the secretary of Con Ad. She said that she can''t disclose information about Miss


    Ledesma."


    He cursed under his breath.


    Stacey''s former boss is protecting her maybe because he still fucks her. Now he has no choice but to


    personally see her. He knows where she lives.

    But will he do something like that just to see a whore?


    He angrily stood up and uttered a bad word as he rakes his hand through his hair.


    (Stacey)


    "Miss Pretty.." Amy tried to wake her up.


    She slowly opened her eyes.


    "Amy..? What time is it? " She asked her before slowly sitting up on the bed. She has a slight


    headache.


    " It iste Miss Pretty! Rise and shine! Your mom said to wake you up! Sir Tyler is waiting for you!" The


    help said giddily as she opens the shutter.


    She covered her eyes when the sunshine entered her room. "Tyler? What is he doing here?" she asked


    as if to herself.


    " Yes! Your tall and handsome boss! Your employer who has been wooing you forever and I can''t really


    understand why you haven''t said yes to yet! What is it about him that you don''t like? He is very good-


    looking, he is financially stable and he seems so besotted with you! If I were in your shoes, I will give


    him my heart and my sexy body straight away! " Amymented as she hugs the curtains and sways


    her body from side to side while her eyes twinkle.


    "AMY! Mom wants you! We don''t pay you for doing nothing!" came Heather''s angry voice.


    "Peter Piper fucked the pepper!" Amy blurted out and Stacey just sighed. Their housemaid always


    overreacts and she says unimaginable, vulgar although often funny words when she is shocked or


    really surprised.


    "Cominging!" she said while hurrying out of her room.


    Stacey ignored her half-sister and got out of her bed to go to the bathroom.


    " Why did you quit your job?! Isn''t it enough that my dad sent you to the university and now you still


    expect him to support you financially now that you quit working?" Heather sarcastically asked.


    She stopped walking and looked at her bitchy sister with eyes like daggers.


    "Do you think that I will still have a normal job right after the thing I did for you?" She asked while she is


    trying very hard to control her anger.


    Heather put her hands on either side of her waist and looked at her from head to foot. " You are so


    mdromatic! It was just a lingerie photo and not a porn video for crying out loud! " She said with a


    snort.


    "Just a lingerie photo shoot?Maybe for you it was nothing! It''s a pity that your college is so strict.. you


    could have done it easily. No sweat for you because you have no inhibitions in taking your clothes off


    anway " she jibed.


    "And what the fuck do you mean by that, you chubi (bitch)!" her sister asked angrily.


    "Figure it out.And FYI, I am not a bitch. Maybe you are cause you speak and act like one. Close the


    door when you leave." She said in a cool voice.


    "I am not done talking to you!" Heather shrilled.


    "That''s not my problem." she retorted as she closed her bathroom''s door. She will not let Heather grind


    her down from now on.


    ***


    "Stacey." Tyler stood up and handed her a small box.


    "Hi. Let''s sit." she said as she got the box from him. "What''s this? And why are you here? Aren''t you


    supposed to be at work?"


    "It''s a little something. I hope you like it .And to answer your other question , I will meet a client for


    lunch but I decided to see you first. I miss you Stacey. I got used to seeing you almost every morning."


    he said.


    She didn''tment on what he said instead, he opened the box and saw a gold Pandora bracelet.


    She closed the box again. "Tyler, I can''t ept this.This is not just a little something. Please take it


    back" She handed the box again to him.


    "No. I want you to have it. You see the charm? That''s my heart."he said with a grin. "I want you to have


    it. Please ept it."


    She shood her head from side to side."I really can''t."


    Then came silence. They are just looking at each other''s eyes. She did her best to hold his stare.


    "Now that you are no longer working for me, I hope that you will consider being my girlfriend. I will


    make you happy Stacey." he said sincerely.


    She pouted her lips .


    Tyler is a good man and many women would want him for a boyfriend but she doesn''t have any


    romantic feelings for him.


    She sighed.


    There''s nothing not to like about him so maybe it''s worth a try.


    "Okay. I will think about it."


    He shed a smile. "Thank you.Can we go out tonight?" he asked.


    She shook her head from left to right."I can''t. I have to go to work.


    He frowned. "What work?"


    "I will be the vocalist of Eve''s band. We''ll sing at the bar where she is a co-owner of her cousin."


    His eyes twinkled and he let out a smile. "Can I watch?" he asked and she just smiled back.


    ****


    (Nick)


    He is on his way home. He''s still annoyed with himself. He has been thinking about the gold digger.


    "Mate! You won''t believe this! Am I lucky or what? Or maybe it means something..."Billy said to him.


    "What?!" he asked in an unfriendly tone.


    "We are here at a bar near the one we went tost night. They have a great band. And do you know


    who the vocalist is?" his friend asked with a lightugh.


    "Who?''" he asked sounding not quite interested.


    "Miss June of Not Eye Candy Magazine! Get your ass here mate! They wil start performing in a few


    minutes!"


    He cursed under his breath.


    ***


    Stacey was doing some finishing touches with her eye-make up when Eve got inside the dressing


    room.


    "Girlfriend! There are a lot of people out there! I guess other customers heard about you by word of


    mouth!" her friend said with a beam.


    She put down her eye brush on the table. "I am having butterflies in my stomach again." She murmured


    as she looks at Eve through the mirror.


    Thetter sat down next to her to check her own make-up.


    " Rx! You''ll be fine! You have to train yourself to act on stage. Once you get there, think of yourself


    as a different person. This is all just a performance. You are the sultry diva and your number tonight is


    sexier! I think Tyler will be more in love with you after watching you! "


    "What? Is he really out there? I thought he was just joking!" she said with her eyes wide.


    "Yup! He reserved a table in front. Gosh girlfriend! He is so into you! Say yes to him! He''s a good


    catch!"


    She was about to retort but ke came in.


    "It''s time beautifudies!" he announced with a grin. He whistled when he saw her.


    ***


    The bar is a little dim which made Stacey less nervous. She inhaled then exhaled deeply before she


    stepped on the stage. She can''t see the audience clearly because the spotlight is on her. She is


    wearing a leather mini-skirt and a sleeveless ck slinky tube top .She has knee high boots on. Her


    hair is cascading on her back and her make-up is heavier than usual. She looks so sinfully hot.


    She started singing the slow version of Crazy in Love by Beyonce. Her body sways with the sensual


    beat of the song. The song is perfect for her husky and sexy voice. As she performs, she is imagining


    that she is jus in her shower so she can sing her heart out. She is not even aware that the audience is


    mesmerized with her very alluring dancing while singing.


    (Nick)


    If the other male audience are following every movement of her beautiful body, his eyes are focused on


    Stacey''s very lovely face. He doesn''t want to look at her body or the other men in the bar. He knows he


    has no right but at this very moment, he wants to drag her off the stage and punish her for seducing


    every male who is watching her hypnotic performance.


    "FUCKING HELL!" he cursed inside his head.


    He is furious with her but he can''t deny the fact that his desire for her is escting.


    She is bewitching.


    He doesn''t give a damn now if she is fucking other men or if she is a gold digger.


    He has to take her out of his system and he wants to punish her big time...


    He will do it tonight...

 Chapter 8

    Chapter 8


    After her performance, Stacey nodded at Tyler as a signal for him to wait for her. She will just change in


    the dressing room. She doesn''t feelfortable with what she has on so she wants to be out of them


    quickly. Tyler smiled back then nodded too.


    Nick is sitting with Billy on a table at the farther side of the room which is partly hidden from Stacey''s


    view. He saw the exchange.


    He clenched his fists.


    "Dang man! That number is so hooot! Whee!" Billy said as he pretends to wipe sweat from his


    brow.


    "But mate, I can''t stay long. I just dropped by to make sure that Jim wasn''t pulling my leg when he said


    that Miss June performs here regrly. Too bad he can''t be here." Billy added with a shake of his head


    from left to right.


    "Stop calling her that!" Nick said through gritted teeth.


    Billy''s forehead creased a little. He thought that Nick isn''t interested in Stacey but he is puzzled why his


    friend is acting a bit strange.


    He just shrugged his shoulders after several seconds. He can''t me his friend if he probably had a


    change of heart. Stacey is oozing with sex appeal.


    "Tell your brother I want to talk to him tomorrow, first thing in the morning ." Nick said before gulping his


    scotch on the rocks.


    Billy just nodded with a heavier frown but he chose not to ask Nick why. Thetter seems to be in a foul


    mood .


    "I have to go. Are you staying?" he asked Nick.


    Thetter just murmured a yes with a chilly tone as he looks at the man Stacey nodded at.


    Billy just scratched his head before saying goodbye again. Something must be bugging Mr. Hot


    Millionaire. He is really behaving weirdly.


    ***


    Stacey came out wearing a pair of low-waist faded jeans and a purple half- sleeve body fit top . She


    tied her hair in a high pony tail. She just applied lip gloss on her full lips and left her face bare of make-


    up.


    "Stacey!" called Tyler before pulling a chair for her.


    "Thanks. I didn''t think you were serious abouting tonight. " she said with a small smile.


    He grinned. "I won''t miss this for anything. You were breathtaking!"


    "Thank you." she said shyly.


    "Can I talk to Stacey for a minute dude?" ke asked as he looked at Tyler. They didn''t see him


    Her former boss'' brows creased slightly but he just nodded.


    She is also wondering why ke wants to talk to her. She had no choice but to stand up from her chair


    when he took her hand.


    He led her to the wall near the bar.


    "Miss Hotness, your friend or not, you can''t talk to any customer while the others are looking." He


    whispered to her. He has to lower his head and she has to raised her face a little as he towers above


    her.


    "I just wanted to thank him for being here." She said with a frown. She is slightly light-headed. She had


    two shots of vodka before their number as advised by Eve. She needs a little alcohol to calm her


    nerves before her performance.


    ke shook his head and lightly touched her left cheek.


    "Cause the customers can''t have a chit-chat with the vocalist . If we allow that, every male in this room


    would want to be close to you. They might take advantage. All these men who watch you sing and


    dance sexily have the hots for you. I don''t want things to be out of hand though I can easily break their


    necks if they touch you or talk to you in any way that will make you really ufortable. I want to


    protect you. Eve will kill me if I won''t take care of you." He joked.


    She sighed. He has a point. She knows that he is just after her welfare. "Okay. Sorry. I won''t do it


    again." she said.


    "You can''t go back to his table . Is there anything you want to tell him? I could ry it to him. "


    "Can''t I even say goodbye properly to him?" she asked.


    "No. The other customers are looking at us. You can''t do that. And maybe we have to put on an act."


    he suggested as he looked around the bar.


    "Put on an act? What do you mean?"


    "Let''s pretend that you are my woman so the others won''t think that''s it''s okay for you to mingle. I want


    them to think that I didn''t like you talking to that man that''s why I immediately took you away from him.


    But since my girlfriend is so gorgeous, it''s okay for them to look but they can''t touch you or be near


    you. I will smack them. " ke said as he stares at her. His eyes are twinkling with amusement.


    She pouted."Do we really need to do that?"


    He touched her chin and tilted it. Stacey knows that their act is about to start. She prepared herself.


    The little alcohol she had made her less shy of him.


    "I am harmless Ms.Hotness. But I will enjoy pretending to be your boyfriend. Just don''t fall for me,


    okay?" he joked while he has a naughty smile on his lips.


    She almost giggled.


    She knows that he''s right. She knows that ke loves his real girlfriend and their son. She should not


    forget that.


    ke may bemitted already but she can''t hide the fact that he is oozing with sex appeal. It''s just


    so unfortunate that they can''t be a couple now. If he were still single and wooed her again, there is a


    big chance that she will consider being his woman . She likes his types now. Very good-looking bad


    boys. She finds them attractive. Then a tall man with a stubble shed in her mind . She blinked her


    eyes twice to erase the images of Mr. Grouchy.


    She touched his cheek. "Okay..you''re the boss." she said huskily.


    She stifled augh when she saw his mouth slightly opened. She had never touched any part of his


    body before. He is pleasantly surprised.


    " As you said, this is all an act. I don''t want you falling for me again." She teased with a sexy smile.


    They both know that they are just friends now and it should stay that way.


    ***


    (Nick)


    He cursed under his breath because he can see everything that is happening . Now the gold digger is


    openly flirting with the man with tattoo.He has a strong desire to punch his face. He is a little taller than


    the bastard. And though, like him, the other man is muscr too, he is confident that he can beat him


    up. He has a ck belt in karate.


    He is more pissed now with Stacey. She was openly flirting with another man awhile ago right under


    her boyfriend''s nose.


    You are a slut! Women like you need to be taught a lesson! He furiously thought before he stood up


    angrily.

    ke didn''t let her leave the dressing room again so Tyler had no choice but to go. She told Eve''s


    cousin that she wants to go home already but he said that she should stay for a while because her


    former boss just left the bar. Her approaching Tyler''s table half an hour ago caused quite a stir among


    the other male customers.


    She just messaged him and told him that they can talk some other time. She exined the situation


    through text. Tyler called her to tell her that he will wait for her outside to take her home but she said


    no. She told him that she brought her car.


    She sighed after hanging up.


    How long will I need to stay here? She mumbled to herself as she looks at her reflection in the mirror.


    She just wants to sleep on herfortable bed. Then with another sigh, she slid her phone inside her


    pocket. She put on her light ck hoodie.


    She carefully opened the door and looked outside.


    The corridor is clear. She took her bag before turning off the lights. Eve left half an hour ago because


    she has a date with Lance. She saw ke talking to some customers. The others are busy watching


    an all male band perform.


    She hid her face in her jacket''s hood before walking quickly to go outside.


    Luckily, no one saw her leave. She felt relieved when she was finally out the door. Her car is parked at


    the far end of the parking space. There was no one around and it was a bit creepy. She got her phone


    and texted ke as she walks fast. After sending her message that she is going home already, she slid


    her cellphone in her hoodie''s pocket and walked even faster. It''s a bit dark where her car is parked.


    She almost ran to reach it quickly.


    She opened her car''s door when suddenly someone grabbed her from behind and she felt something


    like a piece of cloth covered her mouth and nose. She did her best to struggle but after several


    seconds, she felt dizzy.


    ***


    She woke up.


    She feels a soft bed on her back. The room has a very cool andfortable temperature which made


    her drowsy again. Then she remembered what happened. She was about to get in her car when


    someone grabbed her.


    She opened her eyes but she couldn''t see anything. She gasped.


    Then she realized that she has a blindfold on and she can''t move her arms and legs because someone


    tied her up on the bed. She was suddenly filled with fear and her heart started to pound.


    Who did this to her and why?


    "HELP!!" she cried as she tried to free herself.

 Chapter 9

    Chapter 9


    (Nick)


    He is in the bathroom shaving his stubble when he heard her cry for help.


    So she is finally awake! He told himself.


    He wiped his face with the towel before he rinsed his shaver. He is doing things as if he has all the time


    in the world. She can scream as loud as as she wants. No one will hear her anyway. She can go


    hoarse from crying and shouting but he doesn''t care. He will have enough time to punish her.


    He is looking at his reflection in the mirror. He smirked. After tonight, he will finally get her out of his


    mind and system.


    It was a good thing that he used his big bike to go to work this morning. It was easier and faster for him


    to get what he needed when he left the bar. He just called his trusted driver half an hour ago to pick it


    up. He parked it a little far from the bar where Stacey works.


    He drove Stacey''s car while she was fast asleep at the back.


    He didn''t expect that kidnapping her is as easy as pie. Abducting is not his thing. His hatred for this


    woman made him do all these. The gold-digger might be drop-dead gorgeous but she is a very bad


    female who needs to be punished big time.


    Maybe this is also the best way to fight his boredom. Before he saw her, his life was boring as hell.


    Excitement slowly builds up inside him knowing that finally, he will be able to teach her a lesson that


    she will never forget. He will punish her and he will enjoy her body. He hasn''t felt anything like this for a


    woman before her. He used to feel just a little sexual excitement enough to have an erection and have


    his release.


    But this Stacey Ledesma is really different. She has been the cause of his sleepless nights and sexual


    frustrations recently. Her desirable body and very lovely face kept on haunting him. He abhors her but


    he will take her. He always uses protection so he is not worried of getting any sexually transmitted


    diseases from her. He has to do this so his life will go back to normal. He will take her out of his system


    after one rough and hard fuck.


    He is in a pair of boxer shorts. He came out of the bathroom to check on her. He leaned his shoulder


    against the door frame of the bathroom. .He crossed his arms on his bare chest as he looks at her.


    She is on the bed. He tied her hands on the bed posts. She has a blindfold on. She is still in her jeans


    and top...but not for long...


    She is trying to free her hands.


    "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" she screamed again.


    His eyes narrowed. He uncrossed his arms then slowly approached the bed.


    "SHUT UP! If you don''t, I will gag you!" he threatened in a low and rough voice. He has to change the


    way he sounds because he doesn''t want her to recognize him. She then stopped wriggling and


    screaming when he said that.


    "Please untie me. What do you want from me? I want to go home. Please... I beg you.. let me go..." she


    pleaded.


    Something touched his heart when he heard her pleading but he scolded himself. This is not the time to


    soften to her.


    She is a tease, a whore, a high-ss prostitute, a kept woman! She deserves to be punished! He told


    himself.


    He stared at her face which is half-covered by the blindfold . His eyes went down her breasts , her legs


    which are still covered by her jeans down her beautiful feet.


    How can a warm-blooded man resists such a temptress? More so, a hot-blooded one like him?


    "Please.. untie me... " she begged again. Her voice is trembling.


    He came near her. He slowly traced the side of her face with his fingers.


    "NO!" she turned her face to the opposite direction.


    Stacey had goosebumps when he touched her. She silently prayed that he will free her and let her go


    home. Her body is slightly shaking from fear.


    Nick''''s eyes narrowed when he saw how her body trembles. Stacey Ledesma should have been an


    actress. Her ability to act is amazing. If he didn''t know than many men had fucked her, base from her


    reaction now, he will think that she is untouched. He forced out a lightugh.


    He came closer to her then he lifted her top all the way up to her neck.


    "NOOO!! !!" she cried .


    His eyes darkened with desire when he saw her breasts under her whitecy bra. Their size is perfect.


    Not too big and not too small. Her skin is creamy and very smooth.


    "Please untie me...." she whimpered.


    He just continued looking at her as she kept on begging. He is enjoying hearing her beg and he likes


    seeing her looking so helpless.


    Stacey probably felt that she is getting nowhere with him with her cries and pleas so she stopped which


    made Nick smirked.


    He cupped her breasts which are still covered by her bra. They fit his hands perfectly.


    "NOOOOO!! Don''t touch me!!"


    "KEEP QUIET!" he said in his rough voice.


    Stacey wriggled her body violently when she felt his hands on her breasts.


    "KEEP YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF ME!!" she screamed.


    He released her then she heard a drawer opened.


    "Don''t tell me I didn''t warn you!" Nick said before he gagged her.


    "MMMPPPPPP!!!" she cried.


    "If you won''t stop, I will also tie your legs! ! I will make sure that they are spread wide apart which will


    give me easier ess to your c*nt!" he said through gritted teeth..


    He is really getting pissed.


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    What he said made Stacey even more afraid. She feels so helpless. Her hands are tied, her eyes are


    covered with a blindfold and now he gagged her.


    Nick released her long light brown hair from its pony tail. He touched it. It''s so smooth. He looked at her


    beautiful lips and his eyes narrowed.


    He has another rule when he fucks women...no kissing on the lips. The same rule will apply to this gold


    digger, no matter how kissable her lips are.


    Then he unhooked her bra.


    (Stacey)


    She heard him caught his breath as her tits were exposed to him. She just continued crying silently.


    The more she can''t fight him now. All she could do is cry. She knows that she will be forced and no one


    will help her. She sobbed.


    (Nick)


    He felt hornier when he saw her pink nips .She has an amazing pair of tits.


    His breathing is bing more ragged . He unbuttoned her jeans. He heard her cry louder but ignored


    her. He pulled her pants lower. He doesn''t want to rip her clothes because he doesn''t want to leave any


    evidence as much as possible. He will fuck her and no one will know about it.


    When he is done with her, he will make sure that she will not tell a soul about what he did to her.


    Besides who would believe her? Nichs Derick Alcantara has never raped a woman.


    For him, it will not be rape. It''s just going to be one hardcore fuck.


    She is now only in her white bikini. He felt his dick throbbed. He knelt on the bed. Her body is between


    his legs. He kneaded her breasts roughly. She hasn''t stopped crying but he doesn''t give a damn. He


    wants to taste her nipples.


    Just one taste. He told himself as he stares at her tits.


    He put her right pink bud in his mouth while his other hand is squeezing her other breast. He nibbled it


    between his teeth then sucked it hard.


    Stacey cried louder and tried to fight him. He is hurting her. He''s almost biting her nipple. She can''t stop


    him from what he''s doing. He is almost crazy with desire. He had waited too long to fuck her.


    He did the same thing with its twin.


    DAMN! She tastes so fucking good.Her nipples are made for sucking and nibbling! No wonder a lot of


    men want her!


    That thought made him see red.


    "FUCKING HELL!" he cursed which made Stacey more afraid of him.


    He is angry at himself. He almost forgot what kind of a woman she is! She is a fucking wench!


    Driven by anger, he pulled her bikini. He doesn''t care now if he tore it.


    He lustfully looked at her sex. It''s waxed so he can clearly see it.


    Every inch of her is beautiful. He thought.


    He badly wants to take the slut now!


    He stood up to remove his boxer shorts . He stood up from the bed to go to the drawer to get a rubber


    this time.


    He went back to the bed again. He positioned himself as he spreads her legs.


    (Stacey)


    She sensed that he is ready to do the unthinkable to her. That''s when she wriggled harder and tried to


    scream louder.


    "MMMMMMPPPPPPP!!! "


    She is shaking her head from side to side while she did her best to make a loud cry.


    NOOOOO!! OH GOD PLEASE NO!!! She cried to herself..


    "MMMPPPPPPPP!!!"


    She tried to close her legs to hide her most private part but as she expected, her abductor can''t be


    stopped. He is very very strong . She felt him forcefully separate her legs again.


    Then she screamed her lungs out when she felt his huge dick tore her hymen.

 Chapter 10

    Chapter 10


    FUCKING HELL! Nick thought.


    He pulled out his dick from her hole. He saw blood on its tip.


    SHE IS A VIRGIN?! He eximed to himself.


    "MMMMMPPPPP!!" came Stacey''s muffled cry.


    Nick pulled his hair out of frustration as he stood up from the bed and rushed in the bathroom. He


    removed his rubber quickly and threw it into the trash.


    He sshed water on his face as he cursed repeatedly .Then he leaned on the sink as he looks at his


    face in the mirror.


    "YOU MESSED UP BIG TIME, YOU ASSHOLE!" He angrily told himself.


    He kicked the cab below the sink several times.


    "I AM A FUCKING ASSHOLE!!"


    Stacey was quietly crying from the pain on the lower part of her body when she heard a noiseing


    from the bathroom. Her rapist seems to be kicking the door or something which is really strange. Now


    she is positive that he has some mental issues. He abducted her to rape her but she can''t fathom why


    he stopped when he realized that she is a virgin. He may not have prated her deeper but what he


    did to her is unthinkable and evil. He raped her.


    (Nick)


    He can''t deny the fact that he had the shock of his life..but he also feels ....relieved... and pleased.


    Stacey is not a kept woman. She is not a whore.


    He is her first...he smiled..but his smile faded when it struck him that she definitely abhors him after


    what he did to her. He cursed when he thought about that.


    Think Alcantara! Think! He murmured to himself.


    He needs to do something so her anger will be less severe.


    He wiped his face with a towel and heaved a sigh . He raked his fingers through his hair before


    deciding to go out of the bathroom to check her.


    She is still crying quietly. Her body is shaking from her small sobs. He felt a kick on the stomach. He


    opened a closet and took out aforter then he walked to the bed.


    He pulled her bra and top down before he covered her body with theforter. He cursed under his


    breath when he saw her flinched. With care, he removed the hanky on her mouth.


    He touched her lips lightly but she moved her head to the opposite direction.


    He heaved a heavy sigh.


    "YOU BEAST! " she said through clenched teeth.


    He sat next to her and touched her hair gently.


    "Don''t touch me!! Untie me and take this blindfold off!" she yelled in between sobs.


    She may be screaming at him but he just sat there, staring at her. All the anger he had for her just


    disappeared. He realized now that he hated her before because subconsciously he wants her for


    himself . He never wanted her to be any man''s woman.


    He stood up to get his phone. He urgently needs to call someone.


    ****


    Now he is pacing back and forth after his phone conversation.


    He is in the small living room of one of their townhouses. He brought Stacey in this ce because


    there are few houses in themunity. He is confident that no one will hear her cry for help because


    the lots on the left and side of their house are still vacant.


    He then pulled his hair out of anger when he remembered the state Stacey was in before he left the


    bedroom.


    He couldn''t believe that he raped a virgin.


    "SHIT!!" he cursed. He is a dickhead and a fuck ass.


    But can he totally me himself from thinking the worst of her?


    She posed for Not Eye Candy Magazine! His friend Jim said that she is her boss'' woman.


    And why is she performing in that bar? The way she sings and dances is way too suggestive. And is


    the bar owner her man too? He also saw her talking to another man after her performance tonight


    which made the bar owner seem pissed.


    "DAMMIT! " he raked his fingers through his hair.


    She might be a virgin but she is a tease! She seduces all the men around her! FUCKING HELL! She is


    a flirt and a tease! He angrily thought.


    He badly needs a drink right now but he doesn''t have any booze in the house. He took a note that next


    time he goes back here, he will definitely bring some.


    He sat down on the sofa. He is just in his boxer shorts. He leaned the back of his head on the couch.


    He has to think. He can''t change the fact that he did rape her and she is a virgin and she is furious at


    him. He has to do something so she will not tell anyone about what happened. He can''t go to jail. He


    will be in deep shit if she files charges against him. He is not a rapist but he admits that he is


    sometimes an asshole. Like now. Because of his very bad impression of her, he abducted her and


    forced her to have sex with him.


    Newssh: Son of a shipping magnate and a self made millionaire is a rapist!


    He cursed under his breath when he thought about that.


    He admits that everything is all his fault. He made this mess so he has to clean this all up. Definitely he


    made a huge mistake and he wants to correct it. He never fucks virgins before because he doesn''t


    want anyplications....but this is different.


    Stacey is really very attractive. And this time , he will admit to himself that he really wants her badly. He


    was in denial at first because of his pride. He kept on telling himself that he just wants to punish her for


    being a gold digger. Bute to think of it, he is very fussy when ites to women he has sex with.


    Having had the impression that she is a slut, he still had the strong desire to fuck her.


    He let out a heavy sigh. He decided to go back to the bedroom.


    She is on the bed but he is a little relieved that she stopped crying. He went near her. He touched her


    left cheek.


    "NO!!" she furiously said.


    "I won''t force you again so please don''t be angry." he said in a croaked voice.


    He has to change the tone of his voice. To the point that he sounds hoarse. She shouldn''t recognize


    him after this. He also shaved his stubble.


    (Stacey)


    She was taken aback. Should she trust him? She felt him sit next to her.


    "I''m sorry." she heard him say again in a low and rough voice.


    She felt heat creep from her neck to her face. Her hatred for him surfaced again.


    "SORRY? Can your sorry bring back what you took from me?" she asked. Her tone is void of emotion.


    She is mad but there is no use in raging. She can''t have her virginity back. What he did to her is


    unforgivable but she decided not to press any charges. She doesn''t want her family and the whole


    world to know how she suffered from the hands of this evil man. She is aware that she has to give all


    the details of what he did to her in the court room. She can''t put herself in such a shameful situation.


    "I know. But I am really sorry." he said . Sincerity is evident in his tone.


    "Untie me then take this blindfold off. I want to go home. Don''t worry, I won''t tell anyone. I won''t bring


    you before a judge. I don''t want my family to face any public humiliation." she said in a cold voice.


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Nick almost gave out a sigh of relief.


    "I will make it up to you." he said almost like a whisper.


    Stacey''s jaw clenched. "And what do you mean by that?" she asked through gritted teeth. Her hands


    which are tied on the bed post, balled.


    He didn''t speak for a while. He remembered what Billy told her days ago.


    He has grown tired of women only wanting him because of his money and good-looks.His friend even


    said that he''s sure that no one will really like him if he is not Nichs Derick Alcantara. Maybe this is


    the right time to test if someone will love him without knowing who he really is. He wants that someone


    to be Stacey Ledesma.


    " I will take responsibility for what I did." he said .


    "Is that a joke?" Stacey asked sarcastically.


    Strangely, her anger towards him seems to have lost it''s intensity. Probably because she feels that he


    was really sorry. She can sense the sincerity in his voice.


    "I never say things I don''t mean." he said sincerely.


    "Are you saying that you will marry me?" she let out a sarcastic lightugh.


    Wow my rapist is something else. Is he conservative and old-fashioned? Maybe wants to marry me


    because he found out that he forced a virgin? That thought made herugh hysterically which made


    Nick frown heavily as he stares at her.


    Sheughed andughed until she was almost out of breath. She stopped when she felt him touch her


    cheek. She stiffened.


    She was about to rage at him but she felt his warm breath in her left ear.


    "I mean it honey. I am dead serious." he whispered.


    Stacey had goose bumps. He then gently nibbled her earlobe which sent thousands of voltages in her


    body. His tongue is now tracing the side of her neck.


    It felt so sensual that she moaned.


    Nick heard her. A grin broke his lips.


    That''s it honey....I''ll make you mine tonight..He thought.

 Chapter 11

    Chapter 11


    "Hmmmm.." she moaned.


    Nick is nibbling her neck and she can feel his tongue on her skin... and the feeling is just unexinable.


    She felt his hand lifted her top then her bra. He gently squeezed her right breast.


    Her moan became louder. She can''t see but only feel what he is doing to her..


    It''s so erotic..


    Not seeing..just feeling..


    Her body jerked upwards when she felt his mouth enclosed her nipple. He swirled his wet tongue on its


    tip.


    "Ohhhhhh...." she let out a soft cry of pleasure.


    (Nick)


    Her moans are making him almost crazy with desire. Her sweet scent fueled his longing to taste every


    part of her. He kissed and sucked the other breast. The movement of his tongue around her nipple


    made her lift her back from the bed. He stopped sucking then stared at her while his hands knead both


    her mountains.


    She looks ravishing! He thought.


    She has her lovely mouth slightly open as she softly groans. And her hands are closing and opening


    while her body wriggles.


    He moved her tits closer to each other which made them looked bigger and more delicious. He bit his


    bottom lip and he narrowed his eyes and cursed under his breath.


    He stared at them before ducking and started to kiss and suck her nipples alternately.


    He knows that her sweet thing down there is still sore but he has a strong desire to touch her there to


    give her pleasure. He worries that she will get angry again if he''ll do that but he won''t know, unless he


    tries.


    He is looking at her face as his mouth and lips move on her tits. She is moving her head from side to


    side while her hands are gripping the shirt he used to tie her. He moved one of his hands under the


    sheet slowly and carefully. He is also groaning as he sucks, licks and swirls his tongue around her nips.


    He cupped her sex and he saw her gasped in surprise.


    He smiled against her skin because she seems to be holding her breath as she waits for his next move.


    His breathing too became shallower with her body''s reaction to what he is doing to her. He tugged one


    of her pink buds while his eyes are still on her pretty face. He doesn''t want to miss her expression then


    his finger slid inside her slit.


    She balled her fists and she bit her bottom lip.


    Now he is running just butterfly kisses on the top of her tits because he wants to see her face more


    clearly. He is taking his chances in doing this. She may or may not like it but he wants her to


    experience sexual pleasure after her very painful and traumatic first time. He doesn''t want to prate


    her roughly although right now, that''s what he wants to do.


    But he needs to be patient. She has to be ready for his invasion.


    His fingers rubbed her bud down there faster. She is now gyrating her hips from pleasure. His fingers


    slid around her pulsating cl*t repeatedly. She is so wet and she doesn''t even realized that she is


    making an animal like sound at the back of her throat.


    Then she trembled and let out a guttural sound before her body stiffened.


    When Nick felt her orgasm he released her nipple then slowly kissed his way up her face.


    "Did you like that honey?" he whispered against her left ear.


    Stacey was still breathing in gasps so she just nodded her head.


    What she felt seconds ago is beyond words. She just had her first orgasm and she can''t believe that


    she had it with a man who forced himself at her less than half an hour ago.


    She felt him knelt on the bed. Her body is in between his knees.


    Nick licked his fingers to taste her sweetness then he moaned softly while his eyes are on her.


    "Your juice is sweeter than I thought honey." he said bluntly in a throaty voice which made her gasp.


    She felt heate up her face. She doesn''t know how desirable she looks while she is lying on the


    bed tied up and with a blindfold. Nick''s eyes narrowed as he lustfully gazes at her.


    Then she felt him lean towards her.


    "I will untie one of your hands if you promise that you won''t take off your blindfold." He whispered near


    her ear.


    She nodded."I promise. I won''t." she retorted huskily.


    "I want you to feel what effect you have on me. Is that okay with you?" he asked as he kisses her neck.


    "Yes."


    She heard him take a deep breath.


    "I trust you honey." He said.


    She nodded.


    She is probably so stupid because although he forced himself at her moments ago but after the


    pleasure he had given her just now , she somehow wants him to trust her.


    He didn''t move or say anything for a few seconds.


    "Trust me. I won''t touch my blindfold." She reassured him.


    He reached for her left hand and released it. She felt his hand on her wrist.


    He seems to have moved on the side of the bed.


    "Honey,I want you to sit." He said. He sounds breathy.


    He helped her to sit and made her lean on the headboard while he still has one of her hands.


    She sensed that he is standing on her left side.


    "I will let you touch my c*ck honey, so you''ll know how much I desire you." he said throatily.


    Her breathing hitched. She felt her cl*t throbbed.


    Nick took his member out of his boxer shorts with his hand. His other hand guided her left hand to it.


    He closed his eyes when he felt her warm fingers touch its tip.


    She gasped when she felt his length.


    It feels so smooth and hard. She heard him groan as she took hold of itpletely.


    She likes the feel of it.


    Nick''s breathing became shallow as he looks on the way her hand rubs his hard and throbbing d*ck.


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    "Feel it honey. Next time, it will be inside your sweet hole." he said hoarsely.


    What he said made her frisky.


    What is this man doing to her? She hated him and wished him dead when he raped her but now, he is


    making her want him?


    Is it maybe because he sincerely said he was sorry and he showed that he can be gentle and she was


    pleasured by him?


    She is now breathing through her mouth. Every stoke she makes with his manhood is making her


    sexually excited.


    (Nick)


    He closed his eyes then bit his lower lip. She just doesn''t know that what she is doing is making him


    wild with yearning .He wants to possess her but he''s unsure if she will want that now.


    "Untie my other hand so I can hold it better." she said huskily.


    What she said increased his desire more.


    He knows that he will be risking a lot if he will do what she requested but somehow he believes her


    when she said that she won''t take off her blindfold.


    "Trust me. I just want to hold you with both of my hands." she said sincerely.


    He cursed under his breath. He just has to trust her.


    (Stacey)


    She likes touching his member. She can''t see it and even it''s her first cock, she is sure as hell that


    women will find his thing...satisfying and yummy...


    She felt him reached for her right hand which is still tied on the post. Her left one is holding his


    monstrous meat thermometer.


    When she was freed, she slowly sat on the bed''s edge and held his stick with both her hands.


    She heard his sharp intake of breath.


    She secretly smiled.


    Who would ever think that a woman would be holding and rubbing her rapist''s shaft?


    Strangely, deep inside she feels that he is not really a rapist. She is not justifying what he did to her. It''s


    hard to exin but she is having mixed feelings now. It started when he realized that she is a virgin, he


    pulled out his stick. She even heard him cursing at himself after that. Then he pulled the sheet to cover


    her body. And thest one is, she had her first big O with him.


    "Honey..if you continue doing that, I will explode any moment now." She heard him say in a throaty


    voice. He sounds as if he is in pain.


    She moistened her lips with her tongue.


    He took hold of her wrists and he helped her to her feet.


    She almostined because she didn''t want to stop what she was doing. It was fascinating for her.


    His c*ck seemed to have be longer and thicker from her strokes.


    "I will let you touch my chest but not my face. I will guide your hands to the areas which you are


    allowed to touch. And one more thing, I don''t like to be kissed on the lips okay?" he whispered against


    her ear.


    Nick will do everything so she will not recognize him in any way. Stacey already saw him once. He


    shaved his stubble so even if she feels his face and imagines his features, they will not even be close


    to the face of the man who dropped off her half-sister days ago.


    He will let her feel him but he won''t let her see him.


    Stacey nodded.


    With his hands around her wrists, he let her palms feel his chiseled chest.


    GOSH! His muscles feels so hard! Stacey eximed to herself.


    She is not into good-looking men but she wees hunky ones.


    She swallowed when his hand guided hers lower.


    Her palms are now on his six-pack. She almost let out a sound of excitement . She nipped her bottom


    lip.


    The man''s body is to die for!


    Nick is staring at her face.


    She is so fucking gorgeous! He told himself.


    This is the first time that he had the chance to really look at her this close. Half of her face is covered


    by the blindfold but there is no doubt that she is very pretty. Her nose is perfectly shaped and her lips


    are naturally reddish.


    His desire for her intensified and he feels something more....


    He is dying to take her right now but if he wants to go on with his n, they should talk first.


    "I want you to listen to what I have to say, honey. Please don''t interrupt me. I will give you all the time to


    tell me what you think once I am done talking. If you find it very bizarre and you don''t want any part of


    it, think about it carefully before you say no." He said while he holds her hands.


    "I hope you won''t say no honey.." he added in a hopeful voice.


    Stacey caught her breath.


    What could it be? An indecent proposal?? She asked herself.


    She felt a little nervous but excited too....

 Chapter 12

    Chapter 12


    Nick sighed when she said yes. He traced the side of her face with his right hand. He narrowed his


    eyes when she ran the pink tip of her tongue on her lips.


    "What is it?" she asked in a small voice.


    "I never had a serious rtionship. I never wanted anyone so badly before you. I feel that you are more


    than just a very pretty face. But I don''t have any confidence about myself. That''s why I don''t want you


    to see me yet. I want us to meet asionally. I want to make love to you but we''ll do it while you have


    a sleeping mask on. When I have enough confidence, I will let you see me. I want to try to have a


    certain kind of rtionship with you." he said .


    She gaped and she is speechless.


    "What do you think honey? " his voice sounds worried.


    "Do you know me? Maybe you always see me." she said.


    He closed his eyes for a moment then opened them again. He needs to lie again.


    "I only saw you tonight."


    Stacey tried to remember the faces of the the customers in the bar but she can''t. It is always a bit dark


    inside .


    GOSH! Could he be Tyler? Maybe it''s him that''s why he doesn''t want me to see him or hear his real


    voice! she asked herself.


    "Tyler? Is that you?! "


    Nick''s eyes narrowed.


    "WHO THE FUCK IS TYLER?!" he rasped.


    She pouted her lips because of the way he reacted to her question.


    "N-No one.. " she said.


    "Is he your boyfriend?!!" he asked angrily in a croaky voice.


    She shook her head from left to right and she heard him sigh impatiently.


    "I told you what I want so tell me what you think." He asked with an impatient tone.


    Stacey''s brows knitted. "I don''t even know your name." she mumbled.


    Nick smiled then cupped her face. Stacey ced her hands on his chest but that didn''t stop him from


    leaning towards her. He wants their faces close.


    "It''s Derick. My name is Derick, Stacey...honey." he whispered.


    He seldom uses his second name but it will have to do this time. He can''t bear hearing her calling him


    by another man''s name when he makes love to her.


    "Derick.." she repeated huskily.


    The way Stacey said his name is so fucking sexy which made his eyes darken.


    "If I will agree with what you said, what do you call us then?" she asked.


    That is what she asked because she cannot think of any other question. His proposal is so unusual. He


    fell silent for a few seconds then she felt him touch her hair.


    "What do you want to call us honey?"


    She bit her lip before moistening them with her tongue. Nick''s brows creased. He is trying very hard not


    to push her on the bed then make wild love to her.


    "I don''t know. Maybe nothing..." she said.


    They cannot bebeled as a couple because of their strange arrangement.


    ''We''ll figure it outter on. So do you want to try it?" he sounds hopeful.


    She is probably getting crazy because she just found herself nodding. Something is definitely wrong


    with her but she doesn''t want to think about it now.


    Nick let out a broad smile as a feeling of great relief rushed to him.


    "You won''t regret it honey." he said before he kissed the side of her neck.


    "Are we going to make love tonight?" Stacey suddenly asked huskily.


    She stifled a groan. She shouldn''t have asked that but it''s toote.


    "Do you want to?" He asked in a breathy voice.


    She felt her face flushed. It''s a good thing that her eyes are covered with the blindfold and can''t see his


    reaction. She just nodded lightly.


    Nick almost cursed under his breath because he couldn''t believe his luck. He held one of her hands


    and tilted her chin. He lowered his head so their foreheads would touch.


    "Thank you honey. I''m really sorry for being such an asshole." he said in a hoarse voice.


    "Let''s just try to forget that." She mumbled.


    "Yes. We''ll start again. Let''s take off your top." he said before he removed her top and brassiere.


    Stacey is now in her birthday suit but strangely, she doesn''t feel shy or ufortable. She heard his


    short intake of breath before he seemed to have moved away from her. She frowned when she heard a


    drawer was pulled open then after several seconds was shut again.


    "I need to put on protection." he said.


    She felt his arms went around her waist and before she knew it, he gently pushed her on the bed.


    "It''ll hurt honey. I''m sorry. But eventually the pain will be gone...." He kissed her neck while his hand


    fondles one of her breasts.


    She has her hands at the back of his head.


    She feels so wanton. She may have hit her head or something because she really wants to do it with


    him.


    Now he has one of her nipples in his mouth and her moans became louder. She totally lost her


    inihibitions.


    Nick is kissing and sucking her tits not only to give her pleasure but he really likes hearing her sounds


    of pleasure.


    "You are so beautiful honey..." he whispered between kisses.


    "Hmmmm..Derick..." she murmured as she felt his hand slowly goes down her most private part.


    Nick had a lot of women already but the effect of Stacey on him is different. If she will let him, he will


    take her more than one time. He has been controlling himself so he has take her now before he loses


    it. He knows that she is ready too.


    "I''ll be gentle honey. Just tell me if the pain is too much okay?"


    "Yes." she moaned.


    He knelt on the bed to put the sheath on his considerable shaft as he runs his eyes on Stacey''s lovely


    body. His dick is throbbing from wanting her. He positioned himself above her without squishing her. He


    got her hands and pinned them above her head. She looks so lustful and ready to be ravished.


    He gently and slowly entered her. He wants to see her expression so his eyes are never leaving her


    pretty face.


    Stacey bit her lower lip to bear the pain of his first thrust. It felt like she was torn in half. She swallowed


    a sob.


    "Are you okay honey?" Nick asked.


    He sounds as if he''s in pain because he is hoping that he will finally have his release but he doesn''t


    want to force her to do anything she doesn''t want to do. He had made a very stupid mistake already.


    He cannot afford to make another one.


    Stacey nodded and turned her face to the left to hide her distorted face .


    He released a heavy sigh. He didn''t pull his member out but he stopped thrusting. He started kissing


    her neck again. He licks and sucks her skin a little. He still has her arms pinned above her. A little more


    forey is what she needs. He has to have more control of his own desire. He doesn''t want to


    traumatize her. .Their first time was very very bad. He wants her to have her second orgasm while he''s


    inside her.


    His lips came down her tits. He started licking her rosy nips again.


    He smiled against her skin because she is now squirming from pleasure. She likes it when he does this


    to her beautiful buds. Next time he will go down on her. She has the most delicious looking p*ssy .


    He hasn''t done that with anyone. She will be his first.


    When he sensed that she is ready again, he slowly started to push. Her tight hole should get used to


    his massive thing first.


    (Stacey)


    It hurts like hell but she knows that there is no turning back. She has to think of beautiful things to divert


    her mind off the pain. It will notst and she doesn''t want him to stop.


    She tried to picture a tall , hot male with stubble..Mr. Grouchy... she is imagining that he''s Derick.


    Every thrust, she sees the tall man''s face....then she just realized that it''s no longer painful. Instead,


    she feels her breathing became irregr and she can''t focus on anything anymore...not even her


    imagination.


    Something is about to explode inside her... something stronger than what she had moments ago....then


    she felt a delicious sensation in her cl*t.


    She let out a long moan...


    When Nick felt her tremble a little after her sound of pleasure, he pumped a little harder...


    pumped in..


    ..out...faster..


    ..harder...


    ..he is not going tost much longer...


    He let out an animal sound from the back of his throat when his seed spurted.


    He didn''t want to squish her so hended his body on the bed while still panting.


    He tried to gain back his regr breathing before he took off the condom and tied its end then threw it


    in the bin.


    He moved to his side. He pulled Stacey to him.


    She is breathing raggedly too.


    "Did it hurt a lot honey?" he asked worriedly with a hoarse voice while looking at her lovely face. Her


    eyes are still covered with the blindfold,


    She let out a little smile. "It was okay. Will it still hurt next time ?" she asked with a pout.


    "We''ll see.. but I will do my best so it won''t be as painful as now." he reassured her.


    She sighed. "Do I have to wear this blindfold everytime we do it?"


    "Yes." he kissed her eyes through the material.


    "I''ll help you get cleaned up. It is difficult to do things without seeing but you have to admit that it''s more


    sensual when you have sex..right honey?" he asked huskily.


    Stacey just nodded. The feeling was really great and erotic.


    ***


    They used her car going back to her ce. She still has the blindfold on.


    And maybe because of tiredness, she dozed off.


    "Honey..." Nick called her in his croaked voice.


    She woke up when she heard him. He''s running his index finger on her left cheek.


    "We are one block away from your house. Don''t take off your blindfold yet. After I closed the door, you


    count one to thirty before taking it off. Okay?"

    She just nodded.


    "Go to bed immediately. It''s almost 2 AM. Do you have a key?" he asked.


    "No. I will just call Amy." She retorted.


    She heard him sighed.


    "When are we going to meet again?" she asked him .


    She still couldn''t believe that she said yes to his proposal but she is not regretful. Yes, their set up is


    bizarre but she now feels excited to be with him again.


    Sexually excited.


    That''s the right term.


    "I will let you know. I will go now honey. I am sorry again and thank you. Until next time..." he whispered


    before he kissed her cheek.


    She did as he told her.


    She counted one to thirty after he shut the door of the driver''s seat. When she removed the blindfold,


    she had to blink a few times for her eyes to get ustomed to her surroundings.


    She put it inside her bag. She moved to the passenger seat without getting out of the car. Derick locked


    it. She smiled. He wanted to be sure that she is safe.


    A smile broke her lips when she remembered everything that happened to her in the past few hours.


    What a night! She thought.


    When her car was about to enter the garage , she checked her side mirror. She saw someone on a


    motorcycle which is a few meters away from her car. She had a feeling that it has been following her.


    The rider is in a ck leather jacket and he has a ck helmet too. She heard the loud roar of the big


    bike and the driver nodded at her before he drove away.


    She gasped.


    "Derick....." she uttered.


    She knows that it''s him.

 Chapter 13

    Chapter 13


    (Stacey)


    She saw how her half-sister looked at her. She is not sure if Heather noticed the way she is walking


    which is a bit awkward because she still feels a bit sore. It has been just two days since she had sex


    with Derick. She just let out a sigh. She should be at least thankful that Heather is as usual giving her


    the cold shoulder. Her life is quieter though at the back of her mind, she can''t help worrying about the


    June edition of Not Eye Candy magazine. She has a feeling that the copies were already distributed to


    the subscribers. She had been avoiding Tyler because of that. She feels ufortable knowing that


    he had seen her almost naked photos already.


    "Miss Hotness! From your admirer I think!" She heard ke called her while she is looking at herself in


    the mirror.


    She was too absorbed in her thoughts that she didn''t hear or see hime inside. She just finished


    her number with the girls and ke told her to stay in the dressing room after each performance. She


    is fine with that. Since the night with Derick, she started to feel a bit conscious when she is onstage. He


    could be one of the audience for all she know.


    She frowned as she takes a box with a single long stemmed white rose which he is handing her.


    "From whom?"she asked.


    ke shrugged his shoulders. " I dunno. One of the waiters just gave that to me. He said it''s for you


    and it''s from one of the customers. Get ready. We have to leave in 20 minutes. We''ll use my car. Eve


    said to meet them somewhere. I know that other bar. It''s not far from here." he yfully ruffled her hair


    before leaving.


    They will meet Eve and her long-time boyfriend, Lance . Finally, he , popped the question so the four of


    them will celebrate. ke has to leave the bar with her earlier than usual. The assistant manager will


    be in-charge for the rest of the night.


    She looked at the box of flower. No card. She just put it on the table to start removing her make-up.


    She just wants to have a nude colored lipstick on her lips. Nothing more.


    (Nick)


    "Happy birthday Billy!!'' he told his best friend.


    They are in an exclusive bar and he just arrived. He was nning not to go butst minute, he changed


    his mind. His friends had beenining that he had been invisible. Since that night with Stacey, he


    stopped joining their bar hopping.


    "Thanks mate! " Billy said with a grin.


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    "I have to say thank you to Billy because if not for his birthday, I am sure you will be a no-show. Just


    like these past few days." Jim said with furrowed brows.


    "I am just snowed under at the office. Sorry about that. " he said in a dry voice.


    He roamed the room with his eyes. The crowd is not that big yet . They are upying five tables. Billy


    just invited some close friends and a few of his co-workers.


    "Is it really work your busy with? I wonder.... " Jim joked.


    "Dang mate! Maybe you have a new girl! Introduce her to us! Don''t be selfish!" Billy said with a wider


    grin.


    He just shook his head and gave them a sneering smile as he drank his scotch on the rocks. He sat


    himself on a bar stool .


    "Mate, even if it''s my birthday, I will give you a gift. I know that you have been bored recently." Billy


    whispered to him.


    His brows knitted. "What gift?" he asked.


    His friend patted his shoulder and said, " My gift just came in."


    He turned to his right. He saw three women walking in their direction. It''s Billy''s ex -girlfriend with her


    friends.


    Now it dawned on him who his friend is referring to.


    Damn! It''s Stacey''s half sister! he told himself .


    He looked the other way when he caught Heather''s eyes which are directed at him. She obviously likes


    him but he''s not interested. The woman is also pretty but it''s Stacey he wants.


    "Hi Nick." Heather greeted him in a husky voice. She sat on the empty stool on his right side.


    Without looking at her, he just mumbled a hello.


    "Sorry aboutst time. I heard you had to carry me to my bed."


    "That''s okay." he said. He signaled to the waiter to bring him another round. This time he has to look at


    Heather. "You want anything?" he asked.


    She smiled sweetly at him and moved closer to his side. "Tequ." she said.


    He frowned but said nothing.


    (Heather)


    She can''t take her eyes off him. Nick is really soo hot! He is in a dark blue long-sleeves and ck


    trousers. She wonders how his stubble would feel on her skin if he kisses her neck, nape and other


    parts of her body. He seems hunky even with his clothes on. She felt giddy just by imagining how his


    muscled body look like . She made a promise to herself that she will seduce Nick Alcantara. He is a


    walking dream. He is not only very good-looking, he is rich as hell and his family is well-known. If he


    will be her man, all her friends and especially her chubi (bitch) half-sister will die from envy.


    (Nick)


    He gave Heather the ss of tequ without looking at her. He is thinking of Stacey because he really


    misses her. He knows she got the flower he sent her.. He almost smiled at the thought. It''s a first. He


    had never given any female such present. He will definitely see her in a few days time but before that,


    he needs to do something first.


    The night he took her home, he wanted to kiss her on the lips but he didn''t. It''s his first time to have the


    urge to kiss a woman on the lips. He slightly shook his head as if to clear it. He gulped some of his


    booze. He started to do a lot of things he wouldn''t normally do all because of Stacey.


    He called his driver that night before they left the townhouse. He ordered him to bring his big bike near


    Stacey''s house. The ce where he stopped her car is only a few blocks away from her house but he


    can''t risk it. He has grown protective towards her. He wanted to see her arrive home safely before


    leaving her. She won''t recognize him because he will have his helmet on.


    "Nick...don''t you like me?" he heard Heather asked.


    Frowning, he turned to her. She touched his hand which is holding the ss with alcohol. Her fingers


    traced his hand the it slowly went up to his arm.


    "Heather..no! ." he quietly but firmly told her.


    "I like you. Don''t you like me? I know you are single. Billy told me." she said while her eyes are


    twinkling.


    He shook his head from left to right ."Stay away from alcohol." he said coldly as he took another gulp of


    his drink.


    He knitted his brows. Stacey''s half-sister is the same as the other females he doesn''t like. She is too


    aggressive for him. He saw her pout her lips in protest when he removed her hand on his arm.


    ****


    "Miss Hotness, Eve and Lance will be a littlete. Maybe they haven''t finished smooching so let''s just


    wait until they are spent. " ke said dryly which made Staceyugh.


    ke took hold of her hand as they get inside the bar. She just let him. Few people are inside and they


    can''t see any vacant tables. Music is ying in the background. She is d it isn''t ear-splitting unlike in


    other bars.


    ke leaned towards the side of her head to whisper, " Let''s just sit on the bar stools."


    She nodded. The counter is a little brighterpared to the rest of the room. She is a bit relieved that


    ke has her hand in his. She is not used to going to bars very often until she started to work for Eve


    and ke.


    (Nick)


    "I am not drunk. I know what I am saying." he heard Heather say as her hand touched his arm again.


    He turned to look at her then his eyes narrowed when he noticed something. He didn''t see Heather


    moved her head to what he is ring at.


    The man from the bar where Stacey is singing, approached the bar counter. Behind him is Stacey. The


    asshole''s hand seems to be holding hers. There are ten stools. The farthest to the left is upied . A


    couple is seated at the middle. Stacey sat on the man''s left so she is now hidden from his view. He can


    only see the dickhead''s side. He saw him somehow leaned on his side to say something to Stacey''s


    ear.


    FUCKING HELL! He cursed inside his head before he angrily gulped his scotch.


    He felt heat crept from his neck to his face. He saw ke put his other hand on Stacey''s hand which is


    on the top of the counter. Seems like the bastard wasn''t satisfied with just holding her hand while they


    were walking.


    (Heather)


    She is also glowering at Stacey and ke. Although she cannot see Stacey clearly, she knows it is her.


    She couldn''t believe her bad luck. She didn''t expect to see her bitch of a half sister here. She snorted


    in disgust. She transferred her eyes at Nick and her brows creased. Nick seems to look more pissed


    than her.


    (Nick)


    Control yourself Alcantara! You can''t ruin this! Her half -sister is next to you! He scolded himself.


    He called the bartender and asked for a whole bottle of scotch and a bucket of ice which made Heather


    smile again.


    "We are so partying tonight Nick." she said huskily.


    (Stacey)


    "Club soda ." she retorted to ke when he asked what drink she wants.


    He chuckled then touched the tip of her nose. " No good girl tonight, Miss Hotness."


    She just smiled. ke called the bartender. He ordered whiskey on the rocks for himself and margarita


    for her.


    He again turned to her with his beautiful bluish gray eyes.


    " My cousin is finally tying the knot. How about you, miss hotness? When will you introduce your


    boyfriend to us?" he asked in his sexy voice.


    The image of Derick came to her but she quickly got rid of it. "I have no boyfriend." she said while her


    eyes are on the top of his hand which is above hers. She had the sudden urge to remove hers from his.


    But before she can do that, he spoke again.


    "If I were single, I would woo you again..." he said with a serious tone.


    That''s when she raised her face to see his. ke''s eyes became darker and he is looking at her with a


    certain emotion which she cannot ce.


    ke is also very good-looking like Mr. Grumpy. They are probably of the same height too. Their


    bodies are both hunky but though she only had seen Mr. Grumpy once, his hot as hell features had


    been imprinted in her mind. The two men are both hot but somehow, she likes Mr. Grumpy more.


    "But you are not...how sad for you... " she joked with a lightugh when the bartender served their


    drinks. ke chuckled and his expression lightened.


    (Nick)


    He is gulping his scotch like water because he is really pissed. Through the mirror behind the bottles of


    booze on the wall''s shelves, he can see them. Obviously the bastard is flirting with Stacey. She told him


    that night that she is single and he hopes that the asshole with her is not wooing her. He will ask her


    about him next time.


    "Nick, let''s dance." came Heather''s too husky voice.


    He hesitated for a moment but he badly needs a distraction to cool down before he smacks the


    dickhead with Stacey. He has to suppress his anger because he can''t let Heather discover how he


    really feels. His n for Stacey and Derick will all go to waste if he starts getting violent now.


    He stood up and took Heather''s hand. She excitedly looked at him.


    (Stacey)


    "ke , I have to go to the restroom."


    She stood up after removing her hand which is under his. She turned to her left and bumped into


    someone. She gasped when she saw it''s Heather.


    Her half -sister is with Mr. Grumpy who is glowering at her.

 Chapter 14

    Chapter 14


    Heather pretended to have lost her bnce when Stacey''s body bumped hers. She just wanted to feel


    Nick''s body. Her body came in close contact with Nick''s. He took hold of her shoulders to steady her .


    Nick, on the other hand,tried to look away from Stacey''s pretty face as he holds Heather. He needs to


    hide what he is feeling. He has ns for Derick and Stacey. Maybe it will be better if he''ll y a little


    with Heather . Anyway, she has been trying to flirt with him since she got inside the bar . It may be bad


    to use her but he has no choice. He can''t afford losing his Stacey just because he is jealous as hell. He


    wants to prove to himself that she will love him as Derick and not the Nick Alcantara she is seeing now.


    If he will start a brawl at this moment, all his ns will go down the drain.


    " How could you be so careless? You could have hurt me badly!" Heather angrily said to Stacey.


    "I''m sorry. I didn''t see you. " Stacey apologized .


    "How stupid! You could give someone a very bad injury!" added HEather with a snort.


    Stacey ignored what her bitchy sister said. She threw Mr. Grumpy a nce. As usual, he is not even


    looking at her as if he really finds her distasteful. She has to stifle a sigh. She''s such a peabrain


    because she has been thinking about him when he obviously dislikes her.


    "I think you''re okay Heather so don''t make it a big deal ." Nick said tonelessly as he puts a little


    distance between him and Heather which thetter obviously didn''t like.


    She looked at Nick''s face because she will have to do some acting.She pouted a little to look cute and


    in a much lower tone she said," But she needs to be careful."


    "She already apologized. That is enough." Nick said. This time he has to look at Stacey which he


    immediately regretted. She is really lovely.


    "Are you okay babe?" ke asked with a frown before he touched Stacey''s shoulder.


    Stacey just nodded then ke''s frown deepened when he transferred his eyes to Heather. He hasn''t


    seen her before so he has no idea that they are half-sisters.


    "Look, it was an ident." he said to Heather. His hand is still on Stacey''s shoulder.


    Nick has to stop himself from gritting his teeth .He clenched his fists on his sides. "Let''s go." he uttered


    coldly to Heather. He took her hand then led her to the dance floor.


    ke turned his head back to Stacey when the two left. "Are you okay Ms.Hotness?" he asked


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    worriedly.


    (STACEY)


    She just sighed then nodded. "I''m fine, thanks. What''s with the "babe" thing?" she yfully pped


    ke''s shoulder and he chuckled.


    " I just wanted to show them that I am your knight in shining armor." he joked." That woman''s man


    looks intimidating." he added.


    Sheughed lightly."My hero!"


    ke is right. The way Mr. Grumpy was looking at her will make anyone rooted to the spot. If looks


    could kill ..


    He is so condescending because he is so sinfully hot and minted.If she knows what''s good for her, she


    should stop thinking or fantasizing about him. He is out of her league anyway. And looks like he is her


    half-sister''s boyfriend already and thest thing she wants is fight tooth and nail about him with


    Heather.


    Her half-sister and Mr. Grumpy are a perfect match. She let out another sigh.


    She seriously has to erase them from her mind. She is just wasting her time and energy. Mr. Grumpy


    doesn''t like her. He wants Heather. Period.


    She stood up. "I need to go to the rest room." She told ke.


    He also rose from the bar stool. "I''ll go with you." he said with a smile before he took her elbow.


    (Heather)


    She has her arms around Nick''s nape. He is so tall that the top of her head is the same level as his


    broad chest if she is barefoot. But since she is wearing 4 inches high heels, her head is up to his chin.


    Crazy For You by Madonna is ying. It is exactly how she feels for Nick. She has her face raised so


    she can see his very good looking face. She made sure that her soft and warm body is very close to his


    hard and muscled one as they slow dance.


    This could have been perfect for them if Nick''s eyes are on her but he is looking straight ahead. He has


    a pensive expression. She might as well take advantage so she rested her right cheek on his neck


    while inhaling his wonderful manly scent.


    (Nick)


    He knows what Heather is doing. He doesn''t like it but if he will ask her to go back to their table, he


    may not be able to control himself from beating that dickhead with Stacey.


    So this is what they call jealousy. He has a strong desire to act like a mad man. He wants to smack


    someone. Anyone will do. He learned how to control his anger when he was still doing karate. But right


    at this moment, he wants to be violent.


    He had only experienced feeling jealous when he was young. He was jealous of his older brother


    because he felt his parents showered him more with love and attention. They used to have a sibling


    rivalry when they were in their teens but now they are okay . One big factor probably is because he


    chose to put up his own business so his father let his older brother help him manage theirpany.


    But this is the first time that he got jealous of other men because of a woman. He never had a girlfriend.


    He had bed warmers..many of them. One woman..one fuck...until Stacey.


    "Fucking hell!" he cursed through gritted teeth.


    "Nick?" Heather looked at his face. Her brows are creased. He hopes she didn''t hear him mumble a


    bad word.


    "Look, I am bored here. Would you like to go to another ce?" he suddenly asked her.


    He knows he''s making a big mistake in asking her to go with him. But at this point, he can''t think of a


    better idea. He can no longer bear seeing Stacey with that fucking bastard and do nothing about it. He


    is angry as fuck but he cannot make a scene.He doesn''t really worry about his reputation. He cares


    more about the rtionship he wants to have with Stacey. Derick and Nick should be different men as


    far as Stacey is concerned so he can''t start a brawl.


    Heather''s face lit up when she heard what he said.


    "Sure! Where to? I''ll go anywhere with you...you should know that." she said huskily.


    He had a sudden desire to take back his invitation when he saw her reaction but he didn''t. Anyway, he


    can get information about Stacey from her.


    He just nodded his head at her. "I''ll just tell Billy and Jim first."


    "Let''s go !" Heather said excitedly before she wrapped her arms around his forearm.


    He almost groaned with frustration when he realized that they have to pass by the bar counter to reach


    Billy''s table. He can''t holler at him to get his attention.


    ***


    "Miss Hotness, you''re not touching your drink." Stacey heard ke said.


    She turned to him and saw him handing her a ss of margarita. She doesn''t want to drink but she just


    sighed and reached for the ss. She took a sip then she coughed. ke rubbed her back and


    worriedly asked is she is okay. She touched his forearm to reassure him that she is fine.


    That is the scene which Nick saw.


    He felt his breathing became shallower and all the blood in his body seemed to came up his head. He


    was about to go to them when fortunately, Heather tapped his arm which distracted him.


    "Nick! Look! Billy is kissing Rica!" she pointed to where their friends are then tugged on his hand to go


    towards their table. He just let her pull him with her and tore his eyes from Stacey and the asshole she


    is with.


    That was close Alcantara! Practice more control dammit! He angrily murmured .


    As he expected, Billy and Jim teased him when he told them that he''s leaving with Heather. He almost


    snapped at them.


    Heather on the other hand, looks so giddy as she talks to her friends.


    "Goodness Heather! You are so lucky!!" Pauline said.


    "Yes I agree! We are talking about THE Nick Alcantara here! " Rica said with a giggle.


    Heather pouted her lips as she pretended to check her well-manicured hand.


    "I know, right?" she said with a flirty smile.


    " Don''t let this chance to be alone with him go to waste!Give him a taste of your mind-blowing kiss! "


    Pauline suggested.


    "Yep! Mind-blowing kiss on his lips and on his...." Heather said huskily as she looks openly at Nick''s


    bulge before nipping her bottom lip with her teeth.


    ***


    Heather''s arms are around Nick''s left arm when they pass by the bar counter where Stacey and ke


    are seated. Nick tried very hard not to look their way but Heather halted . He didn''t know that she wants


    to show him off to her much hated half sister.


    Nick''s forehead creased when she pulled her back to where the two are sitting. Their backs are on


    them.


    ***


    ke is talking to Eve on the phone when Stacey heard someone called her name.


    "Stacey!" Heather called.


    She turned to where her half-sister''s voice came from. ke just nced at Heather before going back


    to his phone conversation.


    Nick''s frown deepened as he looks at Stacey. Her face is a little flushed. He wonders if it''s from alcohol.


    He hopes that the fucking bastard isn''t intentionally making her drunk.


    "Don''t wait up for me.Tell mom that I will bete. I am going with Nick. " Heather said in a low voice


    which is not typical of her when she talks to Stacey. Obviously she doesn''t want Nick to know how she


    hates her. He might think that she is a very bad half-sister. She doesn''t want to turn him off.


    Stacey''s mouth slightly opened. Her eyes are on Mr. Grumpy. Now she knows his name. It is Nick. She


    swallowed a disappointed sigh. Seems like she has been right all along. Mr. Grumpy is Heather''s


    boyfriend. She felt a slight pain in her heart but she can''t let them see how she really feels.


    "I might bete in going home too." she retorted with an expressionless tone.


    That is partly true because it seems like there is a little problem. ke is talking with Eve.


    "Babe. We have to go. " Stacey heard ke''s voice.


    She looked at him so she didn''t see Nick''s eyes narrowed.


    " Change of n. Let''s go to my unit. ." ke said as he puts money on the table before he stood up.


    Nick''s face slowly turned red from anger.

 Chapter 15

    Chapter 15


    He is annoyed to know that Tyler is Stacey''s former boss. He needs to do one of his ns quickly.


    Even if he is her devirginizer, he has no assurance that Stacey is all his. There are too many assholes


    around her.


    Heather frowned when she saw that Nick seems to be in deep thought. It is annoying to think that he is


    not really listening to what she is saying. She has to make the first move because she feels that though


    he is talking to her, Nick''s mind is somewhere else. She wants all his attention. He is elusive but she


    will make him finally appreciate her. She stood up then got one of the chairs and moved it near his


    seat. She touched his hand to get the ss of rum from him. She turned the ss. She drank from the


    side where Nick took a sip then she licked her lips after finishing the booze while looking at him


    seductively. She slowly ran her fingers from the back of his hand to his forearm and then his bicep.


    Nick''s forehead creased when he felt Heather''s hand on his arm going down to his six-pack. "Stop that!


    " He said with a scowl.


    "You said we''re going out. When?" she asked while pouting her lips.


    All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    He narrowed his eyes. Heather is very pretty too. She has shorter hair than Stacey. Like her sister, she


    has mestiza features . But she is too agressive for his taste. Besides, it''s Stacey he wants.


    "I''ll call you." he said tonelessly.


    "How? You don''t even have my number." she said with a pout.


    "I''ll find a way. Sorry Heather but I have to go .See you around." he said before standing up. He is done


    questioning her about Stacey anyway.


    Heather curled her lip in frustration and annoyance when Nick left her on the table.


    ***


    "Mate! Are you leaving? The night is still young!?" Billy asked him and he just nodded.


    " Hey! Heather is very pretty and obviously she has the hots for you so why are you going? What''s


    wrong with you?" He asked with a frown.


    "I am not interested. Enjoy the night. Happy birthday again! He just nodded at him again and waved to


    Jim before going out.


    Next day...


    (STACEY)


    She looked up from what she''s doing when she heard her mother called her. She was making a


    sandwich for herself. She stayed the night at Eve''s and she just got home hours ago . She slept again


    and just woke up. It is alreadyte in the afternoon. She can afford to sleep for long hours because she


    sings at the bar at night. She has plenty of free time during the day.


    "Do you want some, Ma? "she asked her mother before going back to what she was doing.


    "No. Thank you.Where''s Amy? Why didn''t you ask her to prepare food for you?"


    She got her te and sat down on the kitchen table to eat. "She is watering the nts."


    "What time did you go home?"


    "Past 6:00 in the morning, Ma." she answered without any emotions in her voice . Her eyes are on her


    te. Her mother sat on the chair opposite hers.


    "Are you mad at me?" She asked with a sad voice.


    She put down her sandwich which she was about to bite into. "I am just your daughter so I don''t have


    the right to be mad at you. I am just a little hurt with what happened. Anyway these things usually


    happen. I am used to all this so don''t worry, I will be fine." she said before pouring orange juice to her


    ss.


    Her mother touched one of her hands. "Stacey..please don''t think that I always take your sister''s side


    because I love her more. I do love you equally but since you are older, I expect you to be more


    understanding. She is still a little childishpared to you. Please Stacey.. don''t get tired of having


    your younger sister''s back."


    "But I can''t do that forever, Ma! Now I even had to quit my job! I can''t be her lifesaver all the time! I


    always try to save her but she doesn''t even seem to appreciate all that I do for her!" she said bitterly.


    She is giving up. She can''t always be sacrificing for her ungrateful half-sister.


    "I''m sorry, Ma. Please just let me do what I like. I want to stop being a big sister to her. I am really tired.


    It''s for my own good. I hope this time, you will understand me. Can you do that, Ma? " she asked


    before taking a sip of her juice. She pushed the te with her sandwich away from her. She doesn''t


    want it anymore. She lost her appetite. She often has this kind of conversation with her mother but


    nothing changed. She is wishing hard that her mother will be more considerate of her.


    Her mother sighed. And evading her question , she said, "You alwayse home reallyte. You didn''t


    even sleep herest night. Why not find a better job? I think you should consider the modelling job they


    were offering you. Of course not for a men''s magazine. You can probably do ramp. I am sure you will


    earn morepared to what you are earning now."


    She crossed her arms in front of her and leaned on her chair. "Ma, don''t worry . This is just temporary.


    Anyway I have enough savings so I won''t ask money from uncle John or you."


    "That''s not what I meant, dear. " Her mother said with sadness in her eyes.


    "Look Ma, eventually I will move out. I know I don''t have a ce here. I am going to start to look for a


    more stable job and then leave. Please excuse me. I need to do something. " she bit her bottom lip to


    stop it from trembling. She is on the verge of crying. She stood up to put the sandwich in the fridge.


    Her mother stood up too and went towards her as she goes to the sink to wash her ss.


    "Stacey, this is your house too. You don''t have to go."


    "That''s not true, Ma. We both know it. It''s okay. I came to ept that." she said tonelessly.


    "Miss Pretty!!" came Amy''s shrill voice as she giddily screams her pet name for her.


    " AMY! What''s with that voice?! " her mother looked disapprovingly at their housekeeper.


    "Madam! There is a very good-looking man asking for miss Stacey! " Amy''s eyes twinkled while she


    smiles from ear to ear.


    "Is it Tyler?" she asked her.


    "Miss pretty, have you forgotten? I call sir Tyler, Sergio don''t I? The leading male character in my


    favorite Mexican soap opera? FYI.. the man in the living room is not sir Tyler."


    "Are you sure that it''s me he is looking for?"


    She had to be sure. So far, Tyler is the only man who sometimeses to their house to woo her the


    old-fashioned way. He brings flowers and choctes for her.


    "Holy Molly eating macaroni Miss Pretty! Will you just go there and talk to him? Where are your


    manners? We shouldn''t let such a handsome man wait! I am already embbarrassed as it is because he


    saw me with my wet apron on ! And look at me! My hair is such a mess too! I have to fix myself before I


    go out and bring some drinks for him. Go now miss pretty before he leaves! " Amy said to her before


    walking to go to the servant''s quarter.


    Stacey rolled her eyes but before Amy totally left the kitchen , she turned to her mother , "Mrs.


    Williams, hold on to your orders okay? I have to freshen up first! "


    Her mother exasperatedly tapped her own forehead in exasperation.


    " Go on Stacey. See who it is. I will check the food in the fridge and pantry. I have to cook dinner. Your


    sister will be home soon."


    ***


    She almost stepped backwards when she saw him. He is standing near the sliding door leading to the


    veranda. His hands are in his pockets while he looks at their garden. He is wearing a light blue long-


    sleeves dress shirt minus the tie and he has light brown pants on. He probably came from his office. He


    looks so hot as usual.


    Nick felt her presence. He slowly looked at her from head to toe. She has her hair loose. She''s wearing


    a white sleeveless body fit shirt and dark green shorts. She has silver t sandals on which show her


    smooth nice feet . Her toes are very cute and they have red polish on. He is looking at her body


    appreciatively as any normal male would. He can vividly remember how beautiful she is especially


    without her clothes on. His dick reacted.


    "I think Amy made a mistake. She said you were looking for me. I guess she misheard you. I am sure


    that you want to see Heather not me. She is not here yet but she''ll be home any minute now. Just wait


    for her.." she said in a voice without any emotions before turning to go to her room.


    She doesn''t want to waste her time talking to Heather''s man. She knows her bitchy half-sister so well.


    She might think that she is flirting with him if she saw them together. She''d rather take a nap before


    going to the bar instead of having a chat with Mr. Grumpy.


    "I want you, not your sister." She heard him say.


    That halted her. She slowly turned to him again and with one raised brow, she asked, "Excuse me?"


    She feels what he said has a double meaning.


    A grin broke his lips and he moved closer to her. Not too close. Just a right distance . He crossed his


    arms on his chest.


    She frowned. He is looking at her with intensity. She did her best to look directly at him too. He may be


    as hot as hell but she won''t let him intimidate her.


    "Don''t get any wrong ideas. You are pretty but I never get involved with women with boyfriends. So you


    are safe with me." he said with a sneering smile.


    He said that to fish more information . He wants to hear what she will say. He is curious who her real


    boyfriend is. Her former boss or the dickhead she was withst night. ording to Heather, that Tyler


    is her boyfriend.


    Stacey let out a smile which doesn''t reach her eyes. " You are not even supposed to say that because


    you are already with my sister. Like you, I also don''t want to be involved with any man who has a


    girlfriend..especially if the girlfriend is my half-sister." she said coldly.


    She wants to kick his shin out of annoyance. He is really very condescending. It makes her want to hit


    herself too because she is pissed with herself. She used to fantasize about him a lot but then she


    realized that not all good looking men are ideal men. Now she is more determined to look past guys''


    appearances. Most of the time, very attractive men have bad attitudes. Nick tops them all. She


    swallowed a smile when his grin disappeared.


    Nick stopped grinning when it suddenly came to him that as Derick , he doesn''t count as her boyfriend.


    Stacey said their rtionship has nobel. That is fine with him. He was waiting for her to deny that she


    has a boyfriend but what she said didn''t give away anything. He stopped himself from gritting his teeth.


    He should look nonchnt.


    Mind control Alcantara...mind control...Don''t ruin everything! he advised himself.


    He will find a way about those men soon anyway. He has to change the subject and say what he came


    here for.


    "I want you to work for me so I am offering you a job." he said tonelessly.


    Stacey''s forehead creased. "Did you just say you are offering me a job? Is this a joke? " she asked with


    an almost shrill voice.


    This man has probably lost it. She thought.


    "Your sister said that you used to work for an adpany but you quit. And she hinted that she''s quite


    worried because you alwayse homete because of your new job."


    She can''t believe that her half-sister would say such a thing. And since when did Heather start to care


    about her ? She probably said that to Nick so she will sound like a caring and loving sister to her.


    Heather''s bitchiness to her half-sister would definitely turn Nick off.


    She will definitely not be a part of her drama. " No. Thanks." she retorted.


    "Listen to me first before you turn my job offer down. We are in need of a graphic designer just for a


    few months . If your work is satisfactory, we will hire you permanently. The pay is good and you have a


    lot of perks. And since you are Heather''s sister, you will have more days off."


    Nick had to add thatst part to convince her that he''s doing this for her sister. She should not know


    that his motive for offering her a job is to stop her from working at the bar. He wants her to be as far


    away from the fucking bastard she was withst night. He also doesn''t want her to work for her former


    boss, Tyler .


    Without her knowing it, she had given him the right to keep an eye on her when she decided to agree


    to "Derick''s proposal."


    Since he met her, he realized that he has no desire to share her with anyone.


    Stacey is now Derick''s woman. His woman. And Nichs Derick Alcantara always protects what''s his.

 Chapter 16

    Chapter 16


    "I don''t want to work for you." Stacey said.


    A muscle jerked in Nick''s jaw. He is trying hard not to show his annoyance. "Why not?"


    She also crossed her arms in front of her chest. She looks defiant. "I have my reasons."


    She looks even prettier when she in a fight mode which made Nick frown.


    SHIT! Brace yourself Alcantara...she will not make this easy. He told himself.


    "I want to hear your reasons." he said in a cold voice . He came closer to her.


    Stacey wants to take a step back but she chose not to. He might think that she is intimidated by him.


    Their faces are probably just more or less twelve inches apart. She has her head raised to look into his


    eyes. He is so tall. She is not short but the top of her head is just a little above his lower lip.


    "I want to keep them to myself." she said in a cold voice.


    This man is really infuriating! His face is thicker than a hardbound book! Stacey thought.


    "Hmm.. I have a pretty good idea why you don''t want to work for me.. "he said and shed a knowing


    smile while he nods his head.


    Stacey''s eyes narrowed and she put her hands on either side of her waist. She moved back a little then


    tilted her head to her right as she glowers at him. "Well, Mr. know-it-all, why don''t I want to work for


    you?" she challenged him.


    He moved forward to be closer to her again. His head is bent down slightly so he can look at her face .


    His eyes have a certain expression which is hard to describe. "Because you are a coward." he said .


    Her eyes widened with surprise. "A coward?" she asked.


    "Yes. You find me very attractive but you won''t admit it so you want to avoid being with me. Of course if


    you work for me, you''ll see me every day and you might not stop yourself from falling for me.. well that


    makes you a coward. " he said while his eyes are on her lips.


    She has no idea that Nick wants to provoke her. He can already imagine how she will react to what he


    said.


    "Of all the nerve! You think so highly of yourself!" she said angrily.


    Before Nick could reply, a female voice called him. They both turned to look at Heather.


    Stacey put some more distance between them. She is positive that Heather will be spoiling for a fight


    Heather''s eye are full of questions as she looks at Nick and then at her. Stacey is sure that if her sister


    is not pretending to be nice, she would have probably yelled at her in annoyance. It''s obvious that


    Heather wants to show her that Nick is off-limits. She put down her books on the table.


    Stacey turned away from them so she didn''t see that Nick frowned slightly when he saw Heather


    cheek.


    " Have you been waiting long , Lovey?" she asked him.


    "Not really." he retorted. He then looked at Stacey who is almost out of the living room.


    "I offered your sister a job since you said you worry about her but she refused.." he said which made


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Stacey stop in her tracks and turned again to them . Nick didn''t see the scowl on Heather''s face but


    Stacey didn''t miss it.


    "How sweet of you to do that Lovey but I am sure my sister likes her job now because she gets to meet


    a lot of men." Heather said, her tone sugary before she wrapped her arms around Nick''s left arm. She


    is smiling sweetly but her eyes remained hard as she looks at Stacey.


    Nick''s back straightened with what she said.


    Stacey on the other hand, wants to erase Heather''s fake sweet smile off her face. She shed a smile


    too. And in a honeyed tone, she said, "Actually..I think Nick''s offer is good. I''m having a change of


    heart."


    She almost sneered when she saw Heather''s expression. Her half-sister''s mouth hang open while


    Nick''s lips broke into a small smile of satisfaction.


    "So you ept?" he asked her.


    Looking him straight in the eye, she said . "I want to know more about the perks you mentioned."


    He is now almost grinning. "No problem."


    "Wait!" Heather interrupted. "Are you epting Nick''s offer?" Her voice is not high- pitched but Stacey


    can sense that she is seething.


    She had the strong desire tomend her evil half-sister for being able to control her anger. But right


    now, she just wants to piss her off more . Surprisingly, she doesn''t feel worried that she will be


    confronted by her when she gets the chance. She also knows that she will regret epting Nick''s offer


    but she will think about the consequencester. If Heather can do some acting, she could try too.


    "It''s a very tempting offer." she said huskily as she smiles seductively at Nick.


    SHIT! She is giving me a hard on! Nick told himself. "We can discuss about the details over dinner or


    coffee." He said without any emotion in his voice though he really wants to pull her to him and kiss her


    torridly.


    "You can talk about that in your office, Lovey. You don''t have to take her out for coffee or dinner."


    Heather said with a frown.


    Nick was about to say something but Amy came in the living room. "Excuse me everybody!"


    Everyone looked at her. She is bringing a tray with a ss of juice. Her lipstick is pink and she has a


    hairband with a very big pink-colored heart.


    "Amy!" Heather called her which made their eyes transfer to her. She almost forgot about Nick so she


    lowered her tone and voice. "Why are you just bringing juice? We have some sweets in the fridge


    which I think Nick will like." she said and went near Amy to get on the tray because she wants to give it


    to Nick herself.


    The help''s mouth hang open. This is the first time that Heather spoke to her without sounding angry.


    "Mam Heather," she said after she moved the tray beyond Heather''s reach, "Mr. Gorgeous is Miss


    Pretty''s guest, not yours so she should give this juice to him, not you. Don''t be ill-mannered." she said


    with one eyebrow raised.


    Stacey swallowed augh. Amy''s being tactlesses in handy in situations like this. Nick on one


    hand, hid a smile. And since Nick can''t see her face, Heather widened her eyes at Amy as a warning.


    Thetter handed her the the tray, " Miss Heather, I think it''s best that you give Mr. Gorgeous the juice


    now before he gets really thirsty."


    After that, she turned to Stacey ." Miss Pretty, you forgot your phone in the kitchen. Someone called


    and I answered it. The man''s voice is so sexy and he said that his name is ke. Is that the man who


    got you home safely this morning? " she asked sounding giddy.


    "Amy! Why did you take the call? You should have given me back my phone! " she said with a heavy


    frown.


    Instead of feeling guilty, Amy let out a sigh and said, " Because you were busy talking with Mr.


    Gorgeous. I didn''t want to disturb you. Anyway ke said call him back immediately."


    Amy got her phone in her apron''s pocket and handed it to her. Sighing heavily , Stacey took it from her.


    " Amy please next time don''t answer calls which are not for you, okay?" she requested and the help


    just shrugged her shoulders while rolling her eyes.


    Shaking her head from left to right, Stacey just turned away from them.


    "Stacey!" she heard Nick called her so she looked back at him with eyes like daggers.


    "I''ll see you in my office at 8:00 AM sharp on Monday." he said tonelessly.


    She just nodded and continued heading to her room without throwing her half-sister a nce.


    ****


    (Stacey)


    She''s getting ready for work because ording to ke, the other band requested to have ater


    performance . She has to leave two hours earlier because of that. She was putting on her cardigan


    when Heather barged in. Her face shows how pissed she is with her.


    She knows it''s war.


    She is taller than Heather so she knows that she wouldn''t want to get physical with her. Besides, her


    half-sister''s sharp tongue is enough to cause pain. Emotional pain which is worse.


    "CHUBI! (bitch)" Heather angrily called her.


    She pretended to be busy checking her fingernails with ck polish. "What is it now Heather? Can''t


    you see that I''m busy? I am about to go to work." she said in a gentle voice.


    "And why did you ept Nick''s offer? He just said that to show me that he''ll do anything for my family.


    Are you that desperate for a new job?! What were you thinking?! Duh?!"


    She finally turned to her. "In the first ce my dear half sister, you shouldn''t pretend that you care for


    me . Being a caring sister doesn''t suit you. Sooner orter your true color will show so might as well


    stop that nonsense." she told her tonelessly.


    "I don''t want you flirting with Nick if you''ll work for him! If you do..I will do worst things to you!" Heather


    said . Her face is flushed from anger.


    Her eyes narrowed and all her control flew out of the window. "Well there you go! You finally said it out


    loud! You are intentionally getting me in trouble! Well, FYI! I don''t flirt with men! That''s more like your


    style not mine ! And I am not interested in your condescending boyfriend ! You two deserve each other!


    I ma not bickering with you so will you get out now?" she rasped.


    She said a silent thank you when finally, with onest re, Heather left her room without much of a


    fight. She felt a little wobbly on her feet so she sat on the edge of her bed. She might be mad at her


    half-sister but she is not used to crossing words with someone but Heather had pushed her to her limit.


    If she will not start defending herself now, things will never change. She cannot rely on anyone but


    herself. She should be a tough cookie from now on.


    "Miss Pretty!!" came Amy''s shrill voice. She got inside, bringing a long slim box in a white gift wrapper.


    "Someone sent this to you. I have to go because your mother is acting like a ve driver again. I will


    just finish some chores but I wille back to look at your present." Amy said hastily and without


    waiting for her reply, she left her room.


    She frowned and looked at the box. She has no idea who it is from. She unwrapped it.


    It''s acy ck sleep mask.


    There is a small note under it.


    I''ll see you tonight after your workter honey.. D


    She bit her bottom lip.. it''s from Derick....

 Chapter 17

    Chapter 17


    She bit her bottom lip. Her cheeks became flushed and her eyes twinkled. She will be with Derick


    tonight. She feels sexually excited...and more... Maybe his presence is like a breath of fresh air for her


    though their arrangement is really weird. She knows that he will be probably watching her performance


    the room before her number. But she will not do that because she doesn''t care how he looks like.


    Finding about that will kill the thrill she has when she''s with him.


    She put the sleep mask inside her bag. She stood up and decided to change her undies. They are too


    in. She wants to look good for Derick. She got a ck strapless bra with a matchingcy thong. She


    went inside her bathroom. It''s a good thing that she hasn''t put any perfume yet. She will use L''Elixir


    Eau de Parfum for Women by Nina Ri which her mother gave her as a Christmas gift.She wants to


    smell delicious for him. She dabbed a little behind her ears, her wrists and the valley between her


    breasts.


    ***


    A white Mercedez Benz CLS 350 Coupe is parked in front of a cafe near Stacey''s. Nick ordered his


    driver to deliver the box with the sleep mask to Stacey''s house. He even bought his driver a motorcycle


    which he will use if Derick wants to send something to her. He also got a Ducati New Monster 1200 R


    for himself which he will drive when he meets her as Derick. He can''t use his favorite big bike. It''s too


    risky.


    He saw his driver''s motorcycleing. He just nodded at him when he passed by. That''s the sign that


    his task was done.


    He smiled with satisfaction when he realized that all is well. On Monday, as Nick, he will constantly see


    her . She is his addiction. She bewitched him.What makes him more drawn to her is the fact that she is


    the first female who had met him as Nick Alcantara and didn''t even bat her eyshes at him. She is a


    real challenge and her being beautiful is a bonus. He can''t wait to be with his Stacey as Nick or Derick.


    ***


    (Stacey)


    "Girlfriend! You look especially hot tonight! You look inspired!" Eve joked.


    She let out a shy smile. She really took care of her appearance .She knows Derick is going to be out


    there somewhere.


    "And how does an inspired person looks like?" she asked as she curls her hair with a hot iron while she


    sits in front of the mirror.


    Her friend looked at her reflection." Well your eyes have a certain spark and your smile is too sweet!


    Just be careful because you might have a sugar rush!" Eve said which made herugh lightly.


    Tonight she will sing sexy songs as usual. Me & U by Cassie, Body Party by Ciara ,Lose Control by


    Keri Hilson at Haunted by Beyonce


    She is in a white spandex jumpsuit . She had her hair tied in a high ponytail .It looks good on her,


    especially the way the end of her hair is curled. It makes her look hot but still sophisticated. Her make-


    up is beautifully made too. She had a make-up crash course in college with Eve. Her friend has more


    chances to practice what they learned because she has to make herself up almost every night for their


    performances. She is thankful that she can also use her skills now that she started singing at the bar.


    ***


    Nick is in his usual ce which is at the farthest corner of the bar. He is in a ck sweater. He will have


    a good view of Stacey who will be on the stage any moment now. Before he came inside, he told his


    driver to hand the envelope with his message for Stacey to any of the waiters. He instructed him to tell


    the server to give her the envelope after her performance. He knows that after her number, she goes


    straight to the dressing room and doesn''te out anymore.


    The bar is full. His eyes narrowed. Most of the customers are male and he is sure as hell that it''s all


    because of Stacey. He clenched his fists which are on the table. He doesn''t like that.


    This will be herst night here so cool it! He told himself. He will make it sure that Stacey will never sing


    and dance sexily in front of other men.


    When she stepped on the stage, all became silent. She blinked when the spotlight hit her beautiful


    face.


    She looks so fucking hot! He thought.


    She sang her first song, Me and U by Cassie . She is a good dancer so her movements are in sync


    with the music. Her voice is also good. Her sensual dancing, sexy body and lovely face captivated the


    audience. They have their eyes glued on her.


    Nick watches with his eyes like slits. She is so fucking alluring and her performance is so suggestive


    that it makes him think of sex. He looked around. And though he can''t hardly see the surroundings


    because it''s a little dark, he knows that the men watching her feel the same. He cursed quietly. The bar


    counter is the only area which is a bit bright so he can see the silhouettes of the people sitting there.


    They are all watching and it seems that even the bar tender stopped what he is doing to watch. He


    gritted his teeth.


    SHIT! Never again honey..after tonight..never again! He uttered angrily to himself.


    (Stacey)


    "Miss hotness! What a performance!" ke said with a sexy grin. He put his hand at the back of her


    chair. She''s removing her make-up. He escorted her back the dressing room just to make sure that she


    will not speak to anyone.


    "Hmm.. I have to be careful. I might fall for you again." he added. His tone sounds amused but she


    noticed that his eyes have a certain glint.


    "Don''t even think about it." she said while she made a face at him then he straightened.


    He chuckled before he got out.


    She let out a sigh. Thest thing she wants is to make their friendshipplicated. ke has a son


    and a girlfriend. They can''t be together.


    She looked at the door when she heard it opened. Eve came in.


    "Girlfriend! One of the waiters said, someone wants to give this to you! I wonder who it''s from. You


    have so many admirers out there! ?" Eve said with a wide smile before handing her a cream colored


    envelope. She thanked her with a smile too.


    She knows who it''s from. It''s from Derick.


    Then Eve tapped her shoulder. "I''ll go ahead. I have a date with Lance. See you tomorrow night!"


    She said okay before her friend left the dressing room.


    Now she is all alone again. She stared at the envelope in her hand for a few seconds before deciding


    to tear it open. She even moistened her lips because they felt dry all of a sudden. She can feel her


    heart racing from excitement.


    Honey, drive up to the gas station in front of the convenience store.I will knock five times on your


    window...D..


    She heaved a heavy sigh to ease her nervousness and excitement. She bit her bottom lip and ced


    the envelope on her chest with her two hands on it. She looked at her reflection. Her cheeks turned


    crimson. She feels giddy.


    ***


    She frowned when she saw Tyler waiting for her outside the bar.


    Gosh! What will I do? I can''t just ignore him but Derick is waiting for me! She told herself.


    Her former boss is leaning on the pir near the entrance door. He straightened when he saw her.


    "Stacey!" he smiled as he approached her.


    She let out a small smile. "Hi. Why are you here? "


    "I watched your performance. You were amazing. Err.. can we go somewhere to talk? I miss you." he


    said in a sad voice.


    (Nick)


    He is on his big bike. He had been waiting for Stacey . He is a little far from her but he will see her


    clearly once she goes out of the bar. They can''t see him because he is partly hidden by a pick up truck


    on the parking lot. He will follow her car to the nearest gasoline station then he will just leave his big


    bike. His driver will pick it up and he will bring it near Stacey''s houseter.


    Then his jaw clenched. She just got out and now she is talking to the man who was waiting outside the


    bar.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Fucking bastard! He cursed under his breath.


    He is grinding his teeth. His hands are gripping the steering wheel of his big bike. He will give them five


    minutes to talk. If i they will take longer than that.. he will definitely do something.


    ***


    "Let''s talk over coffee if you don''t want to eat dinner." Tyler said in a coaxing voice.


    Stacey didn''t answer immediately. She casually roamed her eyes around the parking lot. Derick might


    be around somewhere.


    " Mind if I take a rain check on that? Eve and I are going out. She is already waiting for me at our


    meeting ce." she lied.


    Tylerbed his hair with his hand. " Okay. But can I give you a ride? We can talk in the car."


    She bit the inside of her lower lip. "Thank you but I drove my car here. Why don''t you just pick me from


    the house tomorrow and we can eat out. Anyway, tomorrow is a Saturday. We can have lunch


    somewhere." she suggested.


    His face lit up. "Great! I would love that! I hope I can spend more time with you. We can go sightseeing


    after lunch. " He sounds hopeful.


    She stopped herself from sighing. She just nodded. She can''t always refuse his invitations. She''ll have


    guilt feelings if she will do that. Tyler had never treated her badly even at the office.


    "I''ll walk you to your car." he offered.


    Nick was about to drive near them when he saw them heading towards Stacey''s car.


    That was fucking close! He murmured after blowing air through his mouth in relief.


    He really should be more level-headed. His jealousy needs to be controlled . He can''t think straight


    when jealousy strikes. He might do something really stupid which could ruin all his ns if he will not


    keep a cool head.


    (Stacey)


    She waited for Tyler to leave before she maneuvered her car. She can''t risk it. He might follow her. She


    drove to the gasoline station where Derick said he would meet her. The station is more or less 500


    meters from the bar. She parked a little far from the station. It''s a little bright and she wonders if she will


    see his faceter. He didn''t say if she will have to put her sleep mask on. .Then she heard someone


    knocked on her window. She is on the driver seat. She didn''t turn her head to look at the window. She


    was staring straight ahead.


    One..two..three..four..five...


    After five knocks, she slowly moved her head to the left. She saw a dark figure in a helmet.


    She knows it''s him.


    Her heart thumped. He made a gesture for her to open the window. She slowly did while she held her


    breath.


    "I''ll drive honey." he said in his croaky voice.


    She just nodded. Just knowing that he is actually here with her, made her lips and throat dry. She


    moved to the passenger seat without getting out of the car then unlock the door.


    As if in a trance, with her mouth a little open, she watched as he got in .It''s a little dark so she can''t


    figure out what he is wearing. She was able to feel his body before so she knows how hard and firm his


    muscles are. She moistened her lips.


    "Hi honey. Please put on your sleep mask." he said throatily.


    She fumbled inside her bag while her eyes are still on him. She can''t seem to stop staring at him. Even


    with his helmet on, he still looks sexy .


    Through his helmet, Nick on one hand ran his eyes on her pretty face. The streetmp nearby lit the


    inside though her vehicle is heavily tinted. He helped her put her sleep mask on.


    He made sure that she can''t see anything through the sleep mask before he removed his helmet. he


    ced it on the backseat.


    Almost trembling with excitement, he pulled Stacey towards him. "Time to greet you properly honey."


    he said hoarsely and he kissed her neck.

    Chapter 18


    He shaved his stubble as usual. In two days, it''ll grow. Just in time when he will see Stacey as Nick. He


    groaned when he smelled her sweet scent. His kiss ran from the side of her neck to her cheek.


    "I missed you honey." he said as his teeth nibbled her left earlobe. "I have a surprise for you."


    Stacey felt heat traveled down her body. She likes what he is doing to her right now but she knows she


    will like it even betterter. "Surprise?What surprise?" she asked huskily. Her right hand is on his bicep.


    "Later honey." Nick said and he stopped kissing her before he loses control. He released her then


    maneuvered the car.


    Stacey just leaned on the seat then closed her eyes. She can''t see anything anyway. "Did you watch


    me perform?" she asked him but he didn''t response.


    Nick turned on the car stereo. She''s Like the Wind by Patrick Swayze started to y.


    "Derick?" she called him and he turned down the volume.


    "I didn''t like it." he told her.


    "You didn''t like my performance?" she turned her head to where he is though she can''t see him. She


    even straightened.


    "No."


    "Why?"


    "Too sexy. I didn''t like it!" He said in a little angry tone.


    She pouted and just leaned on the seat again.


    He is so fickle just like a female! One moment his mood is good, next moment, he sounds pissed. She


    thought.


    But even if Derick''s mood is unpredictable, she is not afraid of him. She feels that he will not do


    anything to harm her especially after he discovered that he is her first.


    She dozed off. She woke up when he kissed her left cheek.


    "Honey, we''re here." he whispered.


    Nick cupped Stacey''s face and since he couldn''t control himself anymore, he gave her a quick smack


    on the lips. He doesn''t kiss women on the lips but he has an urgent desire to kiss her luscious ones.


    Well, a peck is a start.


    Stacey hid a smile. She knows that Derick has a rule about kissing...no kissing on the lips so she is not


    going to wait for him to do that.


    "Let''s get you inside honey." he whispered as he held her hand.


    Nick did a lot of preparations. He already bought some stuff yesterday. He wants this night to be


    special. Though he can''t hide the fact that he desires to make love to Stacey so much, he doesn''t want


    her to think that he''s only after sex. If he wants to have a rtionship with her, he has to make a lot of


    effort which women want. Before her, he didn''t care so much about what things could make women


    giddy and happy but thanks to the inte.. everything is just a click away. He can''t ask advice from his


    friends nor his family because he doesn''t want them to suspect anything.


    Nick Alcantara hasn''t done special things for a woman until now. Stacey Ledesma is the first. He


    smiled because Stacey is all worth it.


    "Honey, sit here." he told her as he pulled a wooden chair for her.


    He sat her on one of the chairs around the kitchen table for four. He had grown to trust her since the


    doesn''t worry even if he leaves her. He walked to the fridge to get the dark chocte cake with fresh


    strawberries . He also took the white wine in the chiller. He read somewhere that chocte and


    strawberries are aphrodisiacs. Having them with wine makes it romantic.


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    He put them on the table and he got one wine ss from the cupboard. They will drink from the same


    ss. He looked at Stacey who is just sitting quietly with her hands on herp. He had the sudden


    desire to kiss her lips again but he controlled himself.


    Stacey heard the sound of a ss or bottle being ced on the table.


    What is this man up to? Did he cook something? She asked herself.


    Somehow she finds men who cook appealing but she can''t smell anything. If he did cook, the aroma of


    the dishes won''t be missed. She frowned a little when she heard a sound of liquid pouring in a ss.


    "Honey, this is white wine. Take a sip." Derick said behind her. She felt the ss near her lips.


    She took a sip but he urged her to have some more. "Are you going to get me drunk?" she joked after


    several sips.


    He chuckled before he finished the wine. He made sure that he drank from the part of the rim where


    Stacey''s lips had been.


    "I will not get you drunk with wine...I will get you drunk with other things..." he said throatily.


    She smiled as color flooded her face. She felt him move. His chest is on her back. He is leaning


    forward to her.


    "Stick out your tongue honey.." he said in his throaty voice.


    She can feel his pleasant breath on the side of her neck. The feeling is so sensual. She stuck out her


    tongue. She tasted something sweet. It''s chocte.


    She felt his lips on her left ear. "Open your mouth...then bite gently..."


    She knows it''s strawberry with chocte. She bit half of it.


    Nick ate what''s left before he took hold of her hand and stood straight before he pulled her up They are


    now facing each other. He released her hair from her pony tail. Her beautiful hair cascaded down her


    back .He inhaled it.


    "Your hair smells like strawberries honey."


    After sniffing her hair, he looked at her pretty face. His eyes darkened when he saw a trace of


    chocte on the corner of her lips. He cupped her face then licked the chocte which made Stacey''s


    breathing hitched.


    "God honey....the things you do to me..."


    "Derick..." Being this close to him is sexually exciting for her. "I want to touch you." she said.


    He sighed so his warm breath fanned her face. It smells of wine and chocte which fueled her desire


    for him. She almost groaned in protest when he removed his hands from her face.


    Nick saw the slight frown which crossed her face as he stepped back from her a little to take off his


    shirt. He wants to tease her a bit. He will distance himself from her for a few moments. He hungrily ran


    his eyes on her face, her breasts, her t tummy and long legs . She is in a dark pink tube blouse


    which shows a little cleavage and she has a white cardigan on. She is wearing a pair of white capri


    pants and pink open toe wedges.


    Where did he go? Stacey asked herself. "Derick?" she called, her voice is husky.


    She didn''t move from her ce but she raised her hands to feel where he is but he yfully stepped


    back farther from her so she won''t reach him.


    She didn''t feel anything even from her back so she gave up. She lowered her hands and arms on her


    sides. She frowned heavily and just decided to sit again. She was taken aback when she felt him


    behind her. He grabbed her arms which are pinned on her sides while he kisses the side of her neck.


    His chest feels so deliciously hard against her soft back.


    GOSH! This man is sinfully yummy! His body is so magnificent and he is very good in bed too! She


    eximed to herself.


    "Honey," he said against her skin," your top has to go."


    She moaned. His tongue is tracing the vein on the side of her neck. He slowly took off her cardigan.


    She held her breath when his hand touched of her tube top. He pulled it down up to her waist then


    cupped her breasts which are still inside her straplesscy ck bra.


    "You have wonderful tits honey. They fit my hands perfectly."he said throatily as he released the hook.


    She caught her breath when she felt his right palm covered her right breast. His other hand is below


    her jaw to tilt her head so he can kiss her jaw line. She touched his hand which is on her breast and


    tried to hold his head with her one.


    "Derick..." she called his name huskily.


    "I want to see them."


    He turned her around so he can look at her breasts.


    She heard him cursed quietly. Then he arched her back to kiss her neck . She can now feel his tongue


    tracing the valley between her breasts. She can''t help but moan again.


    SHIT! She is so fucking delicious! Her scent is making me wild with desire! Nick said to himself. Only


    Stacey can make him feel this way.


    He then scooped her with his arms while he kisses her neck. He wants to do it on the couch. Stacey


    wrapped her arms around his nape. He sat her on the long sofa.


    "We''ll do it on the couch honey .I want you to ride me." he croaked.


    She moistened her lips. She felt excitement rushed in.


    Nick got out of his jeans and white briefs. Then he leaned forward to take off Stacey''s clothes.


    "Let''s get you naked too." he whispered.


    He made her lie on the couch to take off her pants first. She felt slightly embarrassed when she felt him


    caught his breath when he saw her ck undies.


    He has seen you naked before , remember? So no need to feel embarrassed! She told herself.


    Her body jerked when she felt his warm breath on top of her thighs.


    "D-Derick?! " She shrieked. She felt panicky.


    Gosh! No! Is he going to....? She asked herself.


    "I want to taste you down here honey...." he said huskily as he slowly pulls down her ck bikini.


    She opened her mouth to protest but she didn''t produce any sound. She has to do or say something.


    Then she felt one of his hands on her inner thigh. He separated her legs.


    "NO!" she protested as she sat up.

 Chapter 21

    Chapter 21


    "Derick! No!" she protested. She''s sure that her cheeks turned crimson with embarrassment.


    "Shhh..it''s okay honey." Nick said.


    He had never been into cunnilingus before. It will be his first time to give a woman pleasure by using


    his tongue on her most private part. He gently made Stacey, who is still protesting, lie on her back


    again. She even tried to remove his other hand which is on her thigh.


    "Hush honey...please. I want to do it." He said and with a heavy frown, Stacey finally let him pushed her


    carefully back to a lying position. He then put a throw pillow beneath her pelvis.


    He separated her legs. She tried to close them but he just said, "Rx honey..." before parting them


    again.


    Stacey just bit her bottom lip. She covered her face with her hands. Though Derick can''t see her whole


    face because she has her sleep mask on, she feels she will die of humiliation.


    Nick started to caress her inner thighs as he leaned towards her sex. He licked his fingers with her


    juice before so he has a pretty good idea on how she tastes.


    Her body jerked forward when she felt his warm breath down there. He separated her folds then gazed


    at her cl*t. He groaned when his tongue touched it.


    She tastes so sinfully good! He thought. He licked her like an ice cream cone.


    "D-Derick....ohhhhh.." Stacey moaned. She squirmed as his wet tongue moves inside her sex. Her


    ufortable feeling disappeared. All she feels is pleasure.


    He licked her in long thick strokes...her cl*t..the inside of her vulva. He picked up a rhythm..licking the


    inside of her sex''s cheeks..the side of her cl*t and the cli*t itself. He also tried to suck it a little.


    Stacey''s moans has picked up intensity. Her hands grabbed the back of his head as she let out a


    guttural sound. She is not aware that she is actually pushing her hips forward to give him more ess


    to her cl*t.


    That made Nick smile. He then just stuck out his tongue cause she is pushing and grinding herself


    towards him as she holds his head in position. He just let her lead his tongue where she wants to be


    licked so she can have more pleasure. He is so ready to swallow all her sweet juice.


    Stacey feels that something is about to explode inside . It''s like a me has started to consume her.


    Then she let out a throaty sound as her body trembles..


    Nick licked her slowly after she released her p*ssy juice. He wonders if all women taste so fucking


    sweet like her.


    Stacey is normalizing her breathing. She had no idea how pleasurable oral sex is . She had her very


    first orgasm when he used his fingers to y with her pink taco but what he just did is mind-blowing.


    Nick kissed her inner thighs as he went up her body. He is now erotically licking her belly button. He


    needs to let her rest a little. He wants the two of them to orgasm at the same time. At this point, he


    knows that he will definitelye fast. Her moans and the pleasure she released from his licking and


    tasting her has really aroused him . He was nning to have more forey to get her sexually excited


    again after her first release so good luck to him. He can feel his c*ck throbbing and it wants to be freed


    from his briefs.


    Down boy..you have to arouse her again... you need to wait. He advised his member as he stopped


    kissing Stacey''s tummy .


    He then stood up then took hold of Stacey''s hand . His breathing hitched. She looks so hot lying naked


    on the sofa. He just hopes that as Nick, he will be able to control himself from touching her once she


    started working for him. He will see her every day.


    "Stand up honey." hemanded throatily. He kissed her left cheek when she got up. "Was that nice?"


    he asked her as he fondles one of her breasts, his other hand is around her lower back.


    She moistened her lips before nodding shyly.


    A naughty smile appeared on his lips. "You taste so fucking good honey. I will definitely do that to you


    again. Would you let me?" he whispered in her left her before nibbling her earlobe.


    "Yes.." she said in a husky voice.


    "Wait honey." he said. He got a rubber from his pocket then tore the packet. He sat on the edge of the


    sofa. He opened his fly and put the sheath on his member. It is now standing so hard and proud.


    He gently tugged her hand. "Sit on me honey. We''ll do the face-off position." he huskily said.


    Slightly frowning, Stacey sat on hisp. She bit her lower lip as she felt his d*ck between them.


    She wants to touch it but she can''t. Derick said that she can only touch some parts of his body. She


    has to wait for him to tell her which one she could.


    "Face-off position?" she asked.


    He chuckled as he kissed her neck. "Yes honey. This is face-off . You on myp as you face me. Then


    your arms around my nape while mine are around your back." he said.


    Derick was kissing her neck but she moved and body a little away from him so he''ll stop. The thought


    that he has done this with other women leaves a bitter taste on her tongue.


    "Honey? Is something wrong? " she heard him ask her. His voice sounds a bit worried.


    "Have you done this with someone else?" she asked with a frown.


    Nick''s face broke into a grin.


    She is jealous! He thought but he didn''t reply. He wants to see her reaction further.


    Stacey got more annoyed when he didn''t answer her. "I asked you if you did this with some other


    women before?!" Her voice went up a notch.


    Nick likes the feeling that she is jealous. It must mean something so he chose not to answer her yet.


    Damn him! He is really a sex addict! Stacey thought angrily and she tried to stand up but Nick stopped


    her. "Let me up!" she rasped.


    "Honey..." Nick groaned against the skin of the side of her neck.


    "Face off yourself! Let me go!" she protested and she tried to move but Derick''s is holding her tightly.


    Nick hid a smile after tearing his lips from her neck. He has his other arm around her and with his other


    one, he cupped her chin. He looked into her eyes which are covered by the sleep mask. He couldn''t


    help grinning when she pouted. He now realized that she pouts when she is either upset or nervous.


    She doesn''t do that to look more alluring. He decided to stop teasing her.


    "I haven''t done it before with anyone..okay?" he said but she doesn''t look convinced. He sighed. "I told


    you that I have never kissed a woman on the lips before, didn''t I honey?" he asked.


    Stacey tried to turn her head the other way but his hand is holding her chin firmly.


    "Didn''t I honey?" he asked her again so Stacey just nodded. "But I gave you a peck on your lips a few


    moments ago. And before you, I have never kissed a woman on her most private part ." he said in his


    throaty voice.


    Stacey held her breath. What Derick said made her feel giddy.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    " I want to try and do a lot of new things with you if you will allow me honey." He kissed her cheek.


    "Would you allow me?" he asked.


    Gosh! Is this man for real? He does and says all these things to make me feel giddy and to give me


    pleasure. He seems perfect! Stacey told herself before she nodded her head.


    Nick''s lips twitched upwards to one side. "So shall we start again honey?" he asked as he nibbles her


    earlobe.


    "Hmmmm.." she moaned.


    Nick groaned before he smothered her neck with kisses..down her breasts.


    Stacey arched her back as Derick continuously sucks and licks her nipples alternately. She feels so


    aroused and she started to gyrate her hips. His d*ck is rubbing against her tummy and the lower part of


    her breasts.


    Nick''s breathing has be shallower. While her right nipple is inside his mouth,he raised her hips to


    position her for his invasion. He didn''t have to take off his pants.


    "Sit on it slowly honey. Sorry but it will still be a little painful. You can touch it. " he told her as he holds it


    in position.


    Stacey encircled his rock hard sh*ft with her hand and slowly guided it into her hole. She can handle


    the pain. She was able to bear itst time. After a few moments, she knows the pain will turn into


    pleasure.Nick felt her warmth enveloped his dick but he didn''t move .He wants Stacey to have full


    control on how deep she wants him inside.


    "Move slowly..you can stop for a while if it''s painful." he said. He is now biting his bottom lip. Just being


    in her warmth sends voltage of pleasure.


    Stacey kept on telling herself that the pain is bearable as she moves up and down on his hard and long


    dick. She arched her back while she moves on top of him. And slowly she feels the pain is almost


    gone. He feels so firm and smooth inside her. The walls of her hole seem to cry from pleasure as his


    member goes in and out.


    Everything inside her starts to feel tight and her breathing became faster.


    Derick is starting to move his lower body too . After several thrusts maybe he felt that she is about to


    have her release again. She made her movements faster.


    They are both moaning..


    ..her hips move up and down...


    ... everything feels so fucking good...so deliciously sexual....then both felt waves of pleasure inside their


    bodies.


    "Ahhhhhhhh" He groaned.


    "Hmmmmm" she moaned.


    They stayed like that for a few minutes. His face against her neck while his c*ck is still inside her. His


    arms are wrapped around her back, hers are around his nape. They are both normalizing their


    breathing as Nick nibbles her neck.


    "Honey.." it was Nick who spoke first. "I want to talk about us and about our arrangement."


    Stacey''s back stiffened with what he said.


    Arrangement? What arrangement? She asked herself.

 Chapter 21.1

    Chapter 21.1


    Nick felt her her reaction. He frowned then asked, "Honey? Is something wrong?"


    Stacey bit the bottom of her lip. "Can you help me to the bathroom so I can clean up? We can''t talk


    properly if we are in this position." she made her tone sound light.


    Nick narrowed his eyes but he obliged without saying anything.


    ***


    They are now seated side by side on the couch. He is holding her hand. They just finished eating cake


    and are now drinking wine. Nick ced the wine ss with his other hand on the center table after


    taking a sip.


    "Honey.." he kissed her lightly on the cheek.


    Stacey turned her head to her left to face him. He traced the side of her face with his index finger.


    "You are so lovely." he said.


    Through her sleep mask, she closed her eyes. She likes the feel of his finger running on the side of her


    face. She had a sudden feeling of wanting to touch him too.


    "Can I touch you too? " she asked in a small voice.


    "Like before, I will let you touch my face but my hands will guide you. You can only touch me where I


    will allow you too, okay?" He whispered to her ear in his croaky voice.


    She nodded. He took her hands then he let her palms cup his face.


    He has smooth skin! Stacey muttered to herself.


    After a few seconds Nick led her hands to his chest. "Now you can let your hands roam from my chest


    down." he said with a trace of yfulness in his tone.


    Stacey can sense that he is smiling. She felt the firm and hard muscles of his upper torso.She also let


    her hands roam on his biceps. She stopped herself from showing a reaction . His body feels like every


    woman''s fantasy. It beats her why he doesn''t want her to see him. She wonders what''s wrong with his


    physical appearance.


    "Why don''t you want me to see you?"


    Nick''s forehead creased. "I already told you why, didn''t I ?" he asked.


    She pouted. "Derick, it doesn''t matter to me how you look like. I am not after physical features." she


    said honestly.


    Now she is beginning to think of a lot of things. She frowned a little when she thought of a reason why


    he doesn''t want her to see his face. "Are you married?"


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    She heard him cursed. She quickly removed her hands from his body.


    Nick leaned on the sofa and grabbed some of his hair in frustration.


    Stacey''s hands are shaking a little as she put them on herp. GOSH! He doesn''t want me to see him


    because he is probably married! She told herself.


    Nick leaned forward and got something from the center table.


    "I don''t want to be involved with married men Derick. "


    "DAMMIT honey! What are you saying? I am not married okay?! Will you stop talking rubbish?" he said


    in an irritated tone before he took her left hand.


    " Can you me me? It beats me why you don''t want me to see your face!" she said with a pout.


    Nick raked his fingers through his hair. " I told you that you will see me but not yet! " he asked her with


    a throaty voice.


    "When? I told you many times that I don''t care how you look like! I will still ept you no matter what!"


    she said with a trace of irritation in her voice.


    Nick sighed. He wants to believe her but he likes their rtionship to be deeper before he reveals


    himself. Stacey is a very special woman. An extraordinary one. He wants to reassure himself that she


    will like the real Nick not the Nick that most people know.


    "Honey...just trust me okay? I want this to work. please." he pleased and she just sighed. "I want to give


    you this." he added.


    Stacey felt something cold around her wrist. "What is it? Is it a bracelet?" she asked. That reminded her


    of the Pandora bracelet which Tyler wanted to give her.


    "Yes. I had this custom-made for you. Don''t ever take it off. This is the surprise I told you."


    She touched it with her other hand. She almost frowned. It doesn''t seem to be just an ordinary bracelet.


    "Can''t I peek?" she asked.


    He chuckled."No honey."


    "What if I don''t want to ept it?"


    Her question caught Nick off guard. He didn''t speak for a while. He knows that most women appreciate


    surprises especially jewelry. His mother''s eyes light up when she gets jewelry as a present from his


    father but Stacey is really different. But he doesn''t know if he likes that or not in this situation.


    "Derick?"


    "And why on earth won''t you ept it?" he asked in a cold voice.


    "Because I don''t ept expensive gifts from men." she said honestly.


    "Don''t you consider me special? I am not like the other men you know." his tone sounds a little


    annoyed.


    That made her bit her tongue. Definitely Derick is different. He is her devirginizer. They had sex more


    than once.


    "Take it honey. That is really for you."


    She pouted. "Can I see it first? I won''t look at your face. I promise. I don''t think this is just an ordinary


    braceletng."


    "You can look at itter ." he said with finality.


    She frowned. "What if I ept this? What''s next?" She doesn''t want to entertain the thought that he


    would want something in return and she wants him to realize that she can''t be bought by expensive


    things.


    "Are you thinking that I want something in exchange of that? Or maybe you think that I am buying or


    worst paying you?" he asked while gritting his teeth.


    She let out a heavy sigh again. He can read her like a book. And she doesn''t like that. He can sense


    how she feels or what''s in her mind but she can''t do the same with him. He is so mysterious and


    secretive. It is not fair. She felt him stand up.


    Nick raked his hand through his hair. He is pissed because he thought Stacey will be delighted with his


    gift. It was just a simple present and he doesn''t like that she is making an issue of it. But actually he


    feels guilty because he even thought that she is a gold-digger. Now he realized his mistake. She is not


    a money-grubber.


    Calm down Alcantara! You messed up big time when you thought the worst of her! If you want to keep


    her, you have to be more patient! He scolded himself.


    He got used to getting his way all the time but this is Stacey. He has to be more patient.


    This man is so sensitive! Maybe I should just ept this but after seeing it and it is way too expensive,


    then I will give it back. Stacey thought.


    "Don''t you want to be my woman?" he suddenly asked out of the blue.


    That made her raised her head. She knows that he is just a few steps away from her. She frowned.


    "I- I don''t know. Our set -up is too unusual. I want a boyfriend who could go out on normal dates with


    me. A boyfriend who I can see and touch any time I want to. How can you be my boyfriend if you don''t


    want me to see your face? I told you many times that looks don''t matter to me." she reminded him.She


    felt hime near her but he didn''t sit next to her.


    Nick stood in front of her for a few seconds before he bent one of his knees so he can take her hand


    and look at her face. Much as he wants her to be his, he has to agree that their set -up isplicated.


    Patience is a virtue.


    " I really want you to be my official girlfriend but I will wait until you say yes .So are you epting my


    gift , honey?" he sounded hopeful. He kissed her hand with the bracelet.


    She bit her bottom lip . Nick felt relieved when she finally nodded and said yes. He stood up and gently


    pulled her hand . He kissed her forehead and gave her a smack on the lips.


    "You won''t be regretful honey." he whispered.


    ***


    Just like before, he let her drive her car while he follows her with his big bike.


    When she took off the sleeping mask, she took a look at the bracelet and she gaped.It is very beautiful.


    Her forehead creased when she realized that it sure looks very expensive.


    It''s a diamond heart charm bracelet. Sighing heavily, she took it off and put it in her bag. She will talk to


    Derick about itter.


    (Nick)


    He got her number and he used another number to text her. They can''t often meet because he is afraid


    that if they do, she might start to be suspicious. They will be seeing each other almost every day at his


    office, him as Nick. But as Derick, he has to be clean-shaven. His stubble takes more than one day to


    grow. He could meet her as Derick every Friday. By Monday, as Nick, his stubble would be visible.


    But as Derick, he has to call her regrly to make her feel how important she is to him.


    In his office as Nick, he has to maintain their boss-employee rtionship. He has to practice mind-


    control all the time because he is positive that it will not be easy being close to her without wanting to


    touch her. It''s not going to be easy but he is willing to do everything just to have the rtionship he


    wants with her.


    He was ready to go to the shower when his phone rang. "Billy?"


    He heard a heavy sigh.


    "Mate! I have been calling you but you''re not picking up! What the hell is going on?" his friend asked.


    "Going on with what?" he asked calmly.


    "I was so excited to see the June edition of the magazine but unfortunately it was deliveredte. I just


    got it this afternoon and to make things worse, the cover is not Stacey Ledesma! What the hell


    happened?!" Billy asked sounding surprised and a little irritated.

 Chapter 22

    Chapter 22


    "She was supposed to be Miss June right? But now I remember that you wanted to talk to my brother.


    What did you two talk about? " Billy asked but he ignored his question.


    Instead he asked, " Did you tell Jim about the photo shoot? "


    "No. I just wanted him to see the pictures once he got his copy. I called you to see the photo shoot


    because I know you already have a very bad impression of her. So when I heard that Not Eye Candy


    will feature her, I phoned you."


    "Good! Keep it that way! Don''t mention anything to Jim!" he said sounding relieved.


    "Will you just tell me what happened? Where are Stacey Ledesma''s photos? Why does the magazine


    have a different cover and centerfold?" Billy sounds really very curious.


    Nick turned on the shower to test the water''s temperature. "I bought all of them. And I also paid your


    brother a huge amount in exchange for the memory card and cd where the photos are stored. And of


    course that includes the interview. " he said sounding cool like he just bought a box of doughnuts.


    "WHAT??!!" Why the hell did you do that? Mate! What will you do with them?" Billy asked in disbelief.


    He can''t even imagine how much money Nick paid his brother. It is not easy getting ast -minute


    model .


    Nick didn''t speak for a while so Billy spoke again.


    "Mate, I think you did that to protect Heather''s family. Didn''t you? Are you finally going tomit to a


    woman? " He asked Nick with a grin.


    Nick chuckled but refused toment about that. It''s better that his friend believe such rubbish than


    him finding out the truth.


    "Don''t tell a soul about all these. " he said before hanging up.


    He just got out of the bathroom and his lower torso is only covered with white briefs when he heard his


    phone ringing again. He smiled when he saw it''s Stacey.


    "Honey?"


    "Derick, I saw the bracelet. It''s too much! I am giving it back to you next time we meet." she said.


    His forehead creased. "We already talked about that honey so you are keeping the bracelet! Let''s drop


    the subject!" he coldly said. He brushed his damp hair with his hand in frustration. His dominant attitude


    is surfacing because of annoyance. He is not used to giving presents to women. Stacey is the first but


    unfortunately, she is making a big deal out of it.


    "But Derick! It is really too much!" sheined.


    "I had that made for you. It''s yours. Don''t mind how much it is. I can afford to give you expensive


    things!" he said and he heard her sigh.


    "Are you ready for bed honey?" he asked her to change the subject. "What do you have on?" he asked


    huskily and his d*ck reacted because he''s imagining her in a sexy nightwear.


    Stacey rolled her eyes. Nick''s mood shifted from bad to flirtatious. She chewed the inside of her bottom


    lip before looking at her night wear.


    "An oversized white shirt and ...." .


    Nick stopped what he was doing. He was about to put on his boxer shorts. "And what honey?" he


    asked.


    He heard her sighed.


    "..a whitecy thong..." she said almost like a whisper.


    Nick''s imagination went overtime. "Honey..how I wish that I am with you right now." he groaned.


    Stacey hates to admit it but she feels a little frisky. Images of the things Derick does to her when they


    are together entered her mind.


    This man is really a tease! she told herself.


    "Don''t say that! You are such a pervert Derick!" she said sounding irritated but he just chuckled.


    Nick will miss her for two days. He feels that Monday is so far away. To console himself, he will just call


    her several times during the weekend or he could see her he misses her too damn much. He smiled


    when he thought of that. Anything is possible ...


    He already nned something so she doesn''t have to sing at the bar tomorrow until Sunday.


    "I''m sleepy." Stacey said before yawning.


    "Okay honey..dream of me. If you were with me, I would kiss every inch of your lovely body." he said


    throatily.


    "Derick!"


    Stacey touched her face because she is positive that she blushed. She could almost hear him


    chuckling.


    ***


    As expected, she woke upte the next day. She took a look at the time. It''s 10:30 AM. Then she


    remembered that she is going to meet Tyler today. She got up though she feels a bitzy.


    I shouldn''t make a habit of this. On Monday, I will have a normal job again. She told herself as she


    steps in the shower.


    She chose to wear a sleeveless gray body fit top , skinny faded jeans and t shoes. She doesn''t have


    any idea where they are going so to y it safe, she worefortable shoes. She tied her hair in a


    high ponytail. Her face is bare of make-up except for her lips. She has Naked Liner by Mac and she


    dabbed Oh L by Marc Jacobs behind her ears . She decided to have a light brunch before Tyler


    arrives.


    She knitted her brows when she saw Heather in the kitchen. Her half-sister is still in her ck sexy


    sleep shirt. She is drinking a ss of OJ. Heather''s left brow went up as she looks at her from head to


    toe.


    "Is the princess going somewhere?" she asked her sarcastically.


    Stacey just tried to ignore her. She lost her appetite so she decided to just eat a banana.


    "I bet my life on it that you wille home veryte again. " Heather added with a dry tone.


    She sighed. "Really Heather! You are too young to sound like our mother. Your condescending


    boyfriend is not here so cut out your show of concern for me,okay?"


    "Bitch!" her half-sister muttered angrily.


    "Miss Pretty!!!" came Amy''s shrill voice.


    "AMY! ! Can''t you stop doing that? You sound like a fire truck for goodness'' sake! You are so


    annoying!" Heather said sounding irritated.


    Amy''s face became poker-faced as she looks at Heather. Then after a second, she turned her eyes to


    her again.


    "Miss Pretty! Your prince charming is waiting for you!!" she told her giddily. " Go now! I have to go back


    to the garage to continue washing Miss Heather''s car!" she added with a snort before heading out


    again.


    "Don''t you think it''s to early for a date ?" Heather let out a sarcastic smile.


    "If you''re jealous then call your arrogant boyfriend! " she said in an annoyed voice before walking out of


    the kitchen.


    ***


    Tyler is sitting on the sofa . When he saw her, he stood up. He is bringing flowers and a big box of


    chocte. His smile widened when he saw how pretty she looks.


    "Good morning beautiful!" He said and handed her the flowers and the box of chocte.


    "Hello Tyler. Thank you. Come on, let''s sit down. " she offered.


    They sat next to each other. She hid a smile. She wished that she can dictate her heart to love him.


    Tyler is good-looking too and has a stable job. She is better off with him than with Derick. She doesn''t


    even really know if Derick is serious about her. She shook off her thoughts because she is being unfair


    to Tyler. She shouldn''t be thinking of another man while they are together.


    "So where are we going? It''s still early?" she asked him with a small smile.


    "It''s up to you. Where do you want to go?" he asked her with a grin.


    "How cheesy!" Heather said sarcastically as she came to the living room.


    Stacey just shook her head from left to right when Tyler''s eyes widened. Heather is still in her sexy


    lingerie. After a few moments, he seemed to have recovered from his shock. He turned his eyes to her


    again .


    Heather just sat down on the chair opposite them. It looks like she doesn''t even care that she is in such


    a revealing sleep wear. She didn''t even bother to put a robe on. She even crossed her legs seductively.


    "So where are the lovers going? It''s too early you know. " she asked in a honeyed tone.


    Stacey felt that Tyler feels ufortable so she stood up. "None of your business !" she told her half-


    sister.


    "Let''s go.." she sweetly said to Tyler.


    "Anywhere is fine with me Heather. I just want to spend time with your sister."


    Heather snorted and suddenly stood up too.


    "Well have fun kids! Don''t do anything that you shouldn''t be doing without any protection." She said


    sarcastically which made her frown but she just ignored her remark.


    They were about to go to the front door when they heard the shrill voice of Amy again so they all turned


    to the front door which is ajar.


    Amy flung the door and said sounding even giddier than when she announced Tyler''s arrival, " Miss


    Pretty! Guess who is looking for you now?!"


    She was about to ask her who but she gaped when she saw Nick Alcantara appeared behind Amy. He


    has a grim expression.

    Nick felt heat slowly came up his neck to his ears when he saw Stacey holding hands with another


    man. They seem to be about to go out.

 Chapter 23

    Chapter 23


    (Nick)


    He almost uttered a bad word. He now wants to believe that bad luckes in threes!


    "Lovey! What happened to you?" Heather asked him with a trace of worry in her voice.


    He turned his face the other way when she attempted to touch his jaw with a wound dressing. One of


    the women he had a one-night stand with several months ago, has a fiance who found out about what


    happened to them. He doesn''t know what came to that woman''s head because she told her fiance that


    they have a rtionship until now which made the d*ckhead really furious at him.


    He was about to enter a famous coffee shop when the man suddenly attacked him and hit his jaw with


    a brass knuckle. He was caught unaware. The a*shole was able to hit him once. He caused the man


    more serious injuries so he is sure that he will leave him alone in the future. He may only have a minor


    injury but he is really pissed.


    And his second bad luck is their family doctor who treated him, called his mother when he left the clinic


    so his mother reprimanded him.


    One good thing about what happened is he has a good excuse to see Stacey today instead of just


    calling her. The wound dressing is covering his whole jaw so his stubble is not visible. But the problem


    is, his bad luck number three.


    He is trying hard not to go berserk because Stacey is holding hands with the f*ckass he saw her talking


    with at the bar. He balled his hands as he inhaled deeply to calm himself.


    He heard Heather''s voice again. "I''m fine. I just had a mishap." he told her with a clipped tone.


    He forced himself to stop ring at Stacey and the good-for-nothing a*shole she is with. If he won''t


    stop, they will sense something is wrong with him. So he just turned his eyes to Heather who is wearing


    a very sexy sleepwear. The muscle in his jaw clenched . If it was Stacey who is in such a revealing


    wear while another man is in the room, he will drag her to the bedroom and f*ck her until she''s sore.


    Then he will lock her up for a week to teach her a lesson.


    Stacey stifled a smile because it seems that someone smacked Mr. Grumpy. That exins why he is


    ring at her and Tyler.


    Serves him right for being so arrogant! She thought.


    Heather on one hand, grabbed the chance to touch Nick. She wrapped her arms around his right arm


    and she is almost kissing it . "Next time be more careful ,lovey." she said huskily.


    Nick wants to remove Heather''s hands but Stacey is looking at them. He made a mental note to talk to


    Heatherter. He doesn''t want her to get the idea that he is really interested in her.


    Stacey felt a bit irritated. Her half-sister and her arrogant boyfriend don''t have scruples about flirting


    even with unwilling audience. She nced at Tyler who is just looking at the two without any


    expression on his face. She tugged his hand to get his attention. It will be better if they will leave. She

    doesn''t have the desire to witness what Heather and Nick might do next.


    "Let''s go." she told her former boss.


    Tyler grinned then nodded and they started to walk to the door. Nick is still standing on the entrance


    and it seems like he doesn''t have any n of moving . He is blocking their way.


    "Let us pass!" she said coldly to him but he didn''t react.


    Even her half-sister tried to tell him to move from the door but he just continued looking at her with


    narrowed eyes. His eyes went down to her hand which Tyler is holding. She thought she saw him grit


    his teeth.


    "I have to talk to your sister about work." He then said chillingly to Heather but his eyes went back to


    her face.They have a hard glint in them .He didn''t even throw Heather a nce.


    Nick noticed that Stacey isn''t wearing the bracelet and he almost gnashed. His anger went a notch


    higher. He, as Derick told her repeatedly to always wear the diamond-studded bracelet.


    "Stacey? What work?" Tyler asked . His forehead creased.


    Nick is clenching and un-clenching his fists because he is on the verge of beating the other man. This


    is the third time that he saw the a*shole with Stacey.


    Mind control Alcantara! He kept on repeating to himself. In a controlled tone he asked,"Stacey, where


    can we talk?"


    "You can talk here lovey. Anyway it''s only about work." Heather interrupted.


    Nick red at her which somehow made Heather feel a bit afraid of him.


    "Well, I think you two can talk in the garden. We''ll just wait for you here." she suddenly said before


    removing her hands on his arm. She also put a little distance between them. She didn''t want to make


    him angrier.


    Stacey also noticed that Nick is still pissed. And she thought that maybe it''s because he wasn''t able to


    such a ck mood.


    "We won''t be long, Tyler. Please wait for me in your car. "she suggested to Tyler.


    She touched his arm as if to assure him that she will exin everything to himter. Finally he just


    nodded without saying anything.


    What she did and said fueled Nick''s anger.


    Son of a....! This as*hole is Tyler? Her former boss? He asked himself.


    Before he really loses it, he turned to the door and sad in a cold voice, "Let''s go Stacey!"


    His strides are long, angry and quick. He is on the verge of being violent. He kept on murmuring bad


    words as he angrily raked his hair with his hand. At this point he is ready to hurt anyone but he still has


    to control his rage because any moment now, Stacey wille.


    "Fucking hell!" he cursed and grabbed some of his hair.


    He didn''t know that it will be this difficult. He has to go through a lot because of his ns. Definitely, he


    has to think of ways to get rid of Tyler quickly.


    "Can''t you wait until Monday?" He heard Stacey asked with an irritated tone.


    (Stacey)


    She moved two steps back when Nick turned his head to her. His face is a bit red which is obviously


    because of anger. He is breathing in gasps as he seems to be trying very hard to calm himself. He just


    stared at her while he breathes heavily which gave her the creeps.


    "W-What d-do you want to tell me?" she stuttered.


    She looked down. She can''t stand his re . She can''t understand why he seems to be taking out his


    anger on everyone. What he said next made her raise her eyes to his face again.


    "Since you will work for me, tell your tons of admirers that I don''t want to see their faces anywhere my


    "W-What? That has nothing to do with my work!" sheined. She wanted to add that she doesn''t


    have tons of admirers.


    Slowly he moved toward her . She wants to step back again but she feels that her feet are glued on the


    grass. Now they are just a few inches away from each other. And since she is wearing ts, the top of


    her head is only up to his lower lip. She ran her eyes on the white wound dressing which is covering his


    jaw. She can''t look at his eyes directly.


    "Anyone who works for me should have a good reputation! I don''t want my clients to think that I hire


    people who are shady ! My female employees don''t do bar-hopping especially with different men!


    ording to your sister you always go home veryte at night because of your part-time job! So


    whatever that job is, quit it!"


    Stacey''s eyes narrowed . She raised her face and looked at him with defiance in her expression. She


    almost gritted her teeth when she saw him staring at her lips.


    A very demanding pervert! she said to herself.


    "You should have informed me much earlier that I will be working for a modern Hitler! What kind of


    when it''s time to work and turn them off after work! You give orders like a king! You said you are


    offering me a job but you sound like you want to control my life! I am not gonna have that! Hire


    someone who just got out of the convent instead! I don''t want to work for you so shove your job offer


    into your throat! I don''t want it!" she grated.


    Nick had been bottling up his anger and after hearing what Stacey said, he felt all the blood in his body


    went up his head. Without thinking of the consequences , he pulled Stacey''s nape towards him and


    angrily kissed her on the lips.

 Chapter 24

    Chapter 24


    The time seems to have stopped for them as they kiss passionately. It''s a first for Nick to kiss a woman


    on the lips. Stacey tastes sweet and kissing her like is like heaven for him. Her lips are so soft . He


    nipped her lower lip before exploring the inside of her mouth again with his tongue.


    Stacey on one hand was like hypnotized. Her eyes are shut. The way Nick moves his tongue feels so


    intimate and sensuous. She had never been kissed like this. Subconsciously, her tongue followed the


    movements of his. It feels so arousing.


    "Miss Pretty!!!! " called in a voice like a foghorn which broke the spell.


    They instantly separated and they are both breathing in gasps. They have their eyes on each other.


    "Miss Pretty! You almost left your phone in the kitchen again! Here! You should be thankful that I saw it


    before you left with sir Tyler. " She told her before she gave her and Nick a curious look.


    Upon seeing Nick''s handsome face, the help smiled sweetly with her hand in mid-air as she hands her


    the phone. Stacey got it from her. She is d that she was the one who broke the stare. Nick''s way of


    looking at her is making her ufortable.


    "Well I will be going now. You can continue what you were doing before I interrupted you. Enjoy!" Amy


    said with a hint of giddiness in her voice.


    Nick''s eyes are still on Stacey''s pretty face. She looks flushed which made her even more attractive.


    "You will work for me Stacey! I will see you on Monday at 8:00 AM sharp! Bring your resume." he said


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    tonelessly.


    "I don''t want to! You can''t make me!" she retorted


    His eyes narrowed. "I did you a very big favor and the least you could do is sumb to what I want."


    She tilted her head to her right while looking at him. "You must have confused me with someone else! I


    don''t remember asking you a favor! I am not that desperate to do that! " she said with sarcasm in her


    tone.


    Nick suddenly smiled in a very conceited way. "I didn''t make a mistake. I am referring to you. You owe


    me big time because the June issue of Not Eye Candy Magazine where you are the centerfold will not


    She gasped from shock. "H-How d-did you know about that?"


    "I have a lot of connections..never forget that! As I have said, I am choosy when ites to people I


    employ so before I offered you the job, I had you investigated. Fortunately, I know the owner of that


    magazine and the rest is history."


    Stacey almost let out a sigh of relief. She doesn''t have to worry about men feasting their eyes on her


    almost naked body.


    I guess working for a high-handed boss is more bearable than losing face because of those shots. She


    told herself.


    " Where are the copies?" she then remember to ask Nick.


    His eyes twinkled. "In a very safe ce .If you will back out from working for me, they will hit the market


    in no time. I am sure they will sell like hot cakes." he said while he leered at her.


    She gritted her teeth as he looks at her with lust. She has the strong desire to p him and kick him


    where it will really hurt him. Between his legs!


    "Sounds like ckmail to me." She said while looking daggers at him.


    He just shrugged his shoulders. "Call it want you want. I will see you at my office on Monday." he said


    before turning to go.


    "Wait" she tried to stop him as she pouted. Nick halted and turned to her again with narrowed eyes.


    "I will work for you but there will be no more repeat of that..that.." she can''t seem to find the courage to


    say the exact words. Her face is now crimson.


    "Passionate, arousing and delicious French kiss?" Nick said with a devilish grin.


    "Y-You s-sex freak! You are my sister''s boyfriend so stay away from me! Next time you do that, I will


    sue you for sexual harassment! " she said angrily.


    "No you won''t. No one will believe you..." he said with conceit.


    She was about toe back with some strong response but he continued talking. " And besides,


    however pretty you are, I am not interested. I like my women submissive. You are too feisty for my


    taste so your virtue is safe with me. I kissed you because I was curious if you taste as good as you


    look. But now I believe that looks can be deceiving..." he said with a hint of amusement before walking


    away.


    She wanted to throw something at him but she controlled herself. Much as she hates to admit it, he has


    the upper hand.


    "You stuck-up wacko!" she just murmured at his back.


    When he was out sight, she recalled some of the things he said. ording to him, her virtue is safe


    with him. What virtue is he talking about? A man she hardly knows and hasn''t seen already popped her


    cherry. She swallowed a bitterugh.


    (Nick)


    Since he saw her in the photo shoot, his desire to kiss her passionately on the lips has been


    awakened. He never kissed women before because he felt that kissing is not done out of mere lust


    only. Strange as it may seems, for a guy like him, kissing someone on the mouth is an expression of


    something deeper.


    He grinned.


    As Derick, he made the right decision to control himself from kissing her. Probably subconsciously, he


    knew that he will not be able to stop himself from touching or kissing her as Nick. Especially since they


    will see each other almost every day. He will not let herpare the kiss of Derick and Nick because


    as far as she knows, they are different men. That''s the best for now. He even uses two different


    perfumes. L''eau Serge Lutens for Nick and Dior Homme Intense for Derick. Without the sense of sight,


    a person''s other senses are stronger so he needs to be extra careful. He can''t afford to let her discover


    the truth yet.


    One thing is definite. He likes everything about her. Her delicious scent, her sweet and tasty lips, mouth


    and juice, her body which is made for love, her lovely face and her dynamic personality. She is the


    perfect woman for Nichs Derick Alcantara.


    ****


    (STACEY)


    "Are you okay?" she heard Tyler asked so she nodded. She turned her head to him and she let out a


    small smile.


    "Let''s eat first then we can talk about where we''ll go. " he said, his eyes on the road.


    "Okay." she murmured.


    She leaned her back on the seat morefortably as she looks outside the window. She can''t seem to


    stop thinking about Mr. Grumpy. The feeling of his lips on hers lingers. She can still remember how his


    tongue felt. ke stole a kiss from her before but his tongue never prated her mouth. Even Derick


    hasn''t kissed her that way. She almost released a heavy sigh. Her half-sister''s boyfriend is really


    something else. He does what he wants regardless..


    Why did he kiss her like that?


    She was caught unaware so she had her mouth slightly open. His tongue''s swirling movement inside


    her mouth was so sensual and so unforgettable.. She closed her eyes then tried to imagine the feeling


    again. She was about to touch her own lips when she heard Tyler''s voice.


    "We''re here." he said.


    She balled her hand and put it on herp before she opened her eyes.


    Stop it Stacey! He is Heather''s man! However good-looking he is and even if he is such an excellent


    kisser, you can''t be day-dreaming about him! She scolded herself.


    ***


    She was d she agreed to go with Tyler. She found out that he is actually fun. They went to a theme


    park then to a museum. He insisted they have an early dinner so it was almost 6:30 PM when he took


    her home.


    He walked her to their gate.


    "Thank you Tyler. I had fun." she smiled at him.


    He is grinning which showed his dimples. "Can we do this again?" he asked. He took her hand then


    kissed it.


    She frowned a little. He had never attempted to touch her hand before and now he even kissed it.


    "Tyler..I told you.."she began.


    "I know. I am asking you out as a friend. I will wait until you let me woo you again." He said with a


    serious voice.


    She just sighed and chose not toment to what he said.


    "I''ll wait for you to get inside your house before I leave."


    "Thank you again Tyler." she said before she walked towards the door.


    ***


    "CHUBI!" (Bitch!)


    Stacey had barely closed the front door when she heard Heather''s angry voice. She counted one to


    five before turning her head to look at her. She raised her left brow when she saw what she has on.


    She is in a skimpy and very short one piece dress.


    "I don''t ever want to see you talking to Nick again! Next time, I will p your face and drag you by your


    hair!" she said angrily at her.


    Heather is really pissed because Nick said that he doesn''t want to get involved with her. ording to


    him, he doesn''t want to date family members of his employees. She told him that it was baloney but he


    was firm about it . Anyway it doesn''t matter because she is going to do everything to get him and her


    chubi half sister better steer clear of her Nick. The handsome millionaire is hers.


    Stacey sighed. "Heather, I have been telling you again and again that I am not interested in your


    boyfriend. I want a longer lifespan so I don''t need a lot of stress. If you can tolerate his condescending


    attitude, then good for you. He''s all yours! You can even have him framed then hang him in your


    bedroom so you won''t lose sight of him! " She said in a cold voice before marching in her bedroom with


    her head held high.


    She wanted to say more but she didn''t. It might make matters worse. She is tired and she wants to rest


    before she goes to ke and Eve''s bar.She locked her room''s door then sat on her bed. She took off


    her shoes and started to massage her sole.


    Then she remembered to get her phone. She wasn''t able to check it almost the whole day. Her brows


    knitted when she saw a lot of missed calls from Derick.


    She dialed his number.


    One ring..two...three..


    "HELLO!" he rasped.


    She nervously chewed the inside of her bottom lip. She suddenly felt worried with the way he answered


    her call. He sounds angry.


    "D-Derick?


    "What the fuck happened to you?! he asked furiously.

 Chapter 25

    Chapter 25


    (Nick)


    He is really very angry. He wasn''t able to follow Stacey with her former boss because of Heather. She


    literally threw herself at him in the living room. Though he told her that he isn''t interested in her, she did


    her best to seduce him. He realized that her personality is very different from Stacey''s. Heather has no


    scruples about running after men she likes. He even thinks that she has be more aggressive.


    Luckily their helper came in the living room to announce that she has an overseas call from her father.


    That was when he was able to split.


    He had been calling Stacey the whole afternoon but she didn''t pick up. A lot of unpleasant images


    came inside his head especially since she was with her former boss. He ordered his personal driver to


    wait for her arrival . He stayed three houses away from hers. He personally wanted to do that but he


    had to meet one of their big clientste in the afternoon. He also instructed the driver him to call as


    soon as shees home. He was ready to blow a gasket he got his call a little after 7 PM.


    "Dammit!! Where the hell they have been?!" He cursed under his breath. His face is a little red from


    anger.


    He doesn''t know how to stay cool as Derick if he is feeling this way.He was about to phone her when


    her number shed on the screen.


    "D-Derick?" came her sweet voice.


    "What the fuck happened to you?!" he asked furiously.


    Stacey pouted. "S-Sorry..I didn''t check my phone...I.." she tried to exin but he cursed which made


    her knit her brows.


    "Hey! You don''t need to curse just because I wasn''t able to get your call." she said sounding a little


    irritated. She can''t understand why he is furious. She feels that he is over-reacting.


    Take it easy Alcantara! Nick scolded himself.


    Thest thing he wants is to piss her off. He rubbed his face with his hand in vexation.


    So with a lower tone he asked, " Did you see how many missed calls you got from me?"


    Stacey let out a sigh. "Derick I said I am sorry. Besides I didn''t ask you to call me. We were just


    togetherst night so why were you calling me?"


    Nick wanted to throw his phone but he controlled himself. He made a mental note to reward himself for


    keeping his cool. Stacey is slowly changing him and he doesn''t like it. He is infamous for jumping down


    on someone''s throat when he can''t get his way.


    Who would ever think that the high and mighty Nick Alcantara is able to hold his temper?


    And what is surprising is it''s all because of a woman. Lately, he has been doing a lot of things that he is


    not ustomed to. This is really difficult for him but all these will change when she bes officially


    his.


    "Where have you been and who were you with?" he asked in his throaty voice but he maintained a


    lower tone.


    Stacey wondered if she should tell him the truth so she didn''t immediately answer him.


    "Honey?" his voice has a hint of irritation again.


    "I went out with my former boss." she finally said.


    "Where did you go? What time did youe home?" He asked her.


    He wants to test if she will be honest with him. He has his right hand clenched as he waits for her to


    respond.


    "What is this Derick? An interrogation?"


    "Just fucking answer me!" He rasped.


    Stacey gasped then shook her head in disbelief. Derick is acting like a jealous boyfriend.


    "Must I remind you that I am not your girlfriend? Just because you fuck me asionally you already


    have the right to act that way!" she said angrily.


    With full force , Nick threw his phone on the wall. "Fucking hell!!"


    ***


    Stacey frowned. She heard a loud crash before the line was cut. She tried calling him again but she


    just heard a continuous beep. She let out a sigh. She doesn''t want to have any disagreement with him.


    It''s just that she is not used to being asked such questions especially because they are not even a real


    couple.


    Derick is nice and sweet but maybe he just got really angry because he had been calling her almost the


    whole day. She saw his 12 missed calls. She decided to just text him when she still couldn''t contact


    him. His phone seems to be off.


    To: Dee (She decided to use this to register his name on her phone)


    We just went to a theme park then we visited an art museum. We had an early dinner so I came home


    maybe half past 6. Except my mother, no one asked me about my whereabouts so I am sorry if I didn''t


    like you asking me many questions.


    She sent the message. She sat down again then tried to think about their situation.


    She knows that sooner orter Derick will ask her again to be his girlfriend but does she really like him?


    She closed her eyes and tried to imagine how she feels when they are together. After a few minutes


    she realized something.


    She definitely has some feelings for him that''s way she feels guilty when she bes a little feisty


    with him. Frankly, she doesn''t hold a grudge against him though he raped her. It was an honest mistake


    on his part and probably she also has a fault. She has given him and God knows who else the


    impression that she is a flirt and an easy girl. Her performances on stage are suggestive. Even Derick


    said that they are too sexy.


    She should probably stop singing at the bar. She will talk to Eve and ke. She will tell them that


    tonight will be herst performance.


    Out of nowhere, the thought of Nick Alcantara came inside her head. She has to agree with him that


    she owes him a lot. Men will surely have a very bad impression of her if the June edition of Not Eye


    Candy came out. She cringed when she imagined that some of them would even want to rape her then


    kill her afterwards.


    Her bad thoughts ended when her phone started ringing .


    "Eve?"


    "Girlfriend! We have a problem!"her friend''s voice sounds worried.


    "What?" she asked.


    "For some reasons, our drummer said she can''te tonight so ke called Joan''s band to cover for


    us. We can''t y without Leanne."


    Stacey smiled. Seems like destiny is doing its thing.


    "No worries." she told her friend.


    "Even if we are not going to perform,e hereter. Let''s go out with ke after the bar''s closing. "


    Eve suggested.


    She remembered Mr. Grumpy''s order: No going out at night. But it''s still the weekend and she will start


    working on Monday so she felt that it was just fine.


    "Sure!" she finally said to Eve.


    ***


    Maybe because so many things happened this past few days and the worst is her fight with Derick


    hours ago, she drank a lot. They are still at the bar of Eve and ke but she already had too much


    alcohol.


    I am just having fun. Starting this Monday, I can''t do this anymore as ordered by Mr. Grumpy. She told


    herself with a smile.


    But at the back of her mind, she may be doing this because she is annoyed with Derick. She had been


    texting him but she got no reply from him.


    "Girlfriend! Take it easy. You have been drinking like a fish!" Evemented.


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Stacey just stuck out her tongue at her.


    "Miss Hotness!" ke called then she felt his warm and pleasant breath on her cheek.


    Eve hid a smile as she looks at the two of them before standing up from her chair. " I will make a cup of


    strong coffee for her so she will be a bit sober. We are still bar-hoppingter. "


    ke pulled a chair to sit next to her. He has his right arm on the back of her seat. He leaned a little


    forward towards her.


    "Is something bothering you Miss Hotness?" he asked while looking at her pretty face.


    She smiled at him. Her eyes are a bit lidded.


    He touched her hand on the table. "Maybe I should have asked, is someone bothering you? Is it a


    man?"


    She moistened her lips and was about to pour more alcohol in her ss but ke stopped her.


    "That''s enough. Eve is right. You had too much to drink already. Wait here. I will just ask Paul to take


    care of the bar so we can leave now." he said. He got the bottle of booze on the table before standing


    up.


    "ke! Give that back! " Staceyined .


    He just turned his head from left to right twice and ruffled her hair before he left. She pouted her lips


    and sulkily got her cell phone on the table. Derick hasn''t sent her any messages yet.


    I miss him! She sadly thought so she decided to text him again.


    To: Dee


    I already said sorry so what more do you want? I called you several times but I don''t know why my calls


    can''t get through. Maybe you turned off your phone! FYI! I am starting to get annoyed! If you will not


    call back or message me in 2 minutes, I won''t talk to you again! EVER!


    Angrily, she put her phone back on the table. She knows she is acting childishly but she can''t help it.


    She want to talk to Derick. She waited for his text but nothing came. Even when Eve already got back,


    still no message from him.


    "Better finish this coffee girlfriend! I will just get my things so we could go." Eve told her.


    She just nodded although she is still annoyed. She decided to text Derick for thest time. If he is


    intentionally ignoring her, she better piss him too.


    With a smirk, she sent the message. She was thinking of turning off her phone but she changed her


    mind. She can''t wait for Derick''s reply. She discovered that he is a bit possessive so she is sure that he


    will react after her final text.


    (Nick)


    He put down the phone. He used hisndline to talk with the person who bribed the drummer of Eve''s


    band. He smiled with satisfaction when he learned that his n worked. Money really talks...


    He is ready to go to bed when he remembered to put the sim he uses tomunicate with Stacey in


    his other phone. He will buy a new one to rece the phone he broke out of anger. He is not that angry


    though because his cold shower helped him calm down a bit . What Stacey said earlier really pissed


    him.


    "Must I remind you that I am not your girlfriend? Just because you fuck me asionally you already


    have the right to act that way!"


    He never wants her to use the F word to describe what they do together. He will call her so they could


    really talk. But before he was able to do that, he heard his message alert tone. Stacey has three text


    messages.


    He smiled when he read her first message. He chuckled after reading the second one. He can vividly


    imagine how her lovely face frowned when she was typing them.


    Then his eyes became like slits and he cursed when he read the third one.


    This is myst text! If that''s how you want things to be then fine with me! I did my part already! I said


    sorry many times! I won''t wait for your reply anymore. Anyway I will be busy tonight! I am going out with


    my friend and a man who used to woo me. We are going bar-hopping! By the way, if I misspelled some


    words me it all on the tequ. I had to much already. =)

    Chapter 26


    (Stacey)


    She has been asking herself if Derick is just ying with her. Maybe he is just using her for his own


    sexual pleasure. He probably doesn''t want her to see his face so he can easily leave her when he gets


    tired of her. She also thought of Nick Alcantara. He made a pass at her but after kissing her on the lips,


    he said he is not interested in her. Seems like Tyler is the only one who has good intentions but now


    she is doubtful. Maybe he just wants to woo her because she is like a challenge to him and once she


    says yes to him and he got what he wants with her, he would soon lose interest too.


    She blinked twice to erase her thoughts and focused her eyes on ke. They are on the dance floor.


    She whispered his name. He stopped moving and put a little distance between them so he can lower


    his head to look at her.


    "Miss Hotness? What''s wrong? Do you want to sit down?" he asked worriedly.


    "No.."She chewed the bottom of her lip. "Y- You s-said before that if you don''t have a girlfriend now, you


    would court me again. Did you mean that?" She asked him. Maybe she wants a sort of assurance that


    some men really like her for being her.


    His eyes narrowed and his forehead creased. "Let''s get out of here. There''s a garden outside the bar,


    we can talk there. " he suggested before holding her hand.


    Eve and Lance are dancing next to them . ke tapped his cousin''s shoulder before leaning down to


    whisper something. Her friend threw her a worried nce but ke said something to her which she


    couldn''t make out. After a few seconds,she finally nodded at them.


    ***


    The air outside is a little chilly.


    "Are you cold?" ke asked while he removed his jacket and put it around her shoulders.


    She thanked him. He then took hold of her hand again to lead her to a shade on the far left of the


    garden. When they reached it, he made her face him by gently turning her shoulders so they can look


    at each other''s faces.


    "We can talk in private here. So now Miss Hotness..what was your question again?" He cupped her


    chin with his right hand to raise her face.


    "You heard me the first time.." she said before chewing the inside of her bottom lip. She doesn''t want to


    repeat what she asked him because she''s a bit embarrassed. She felt her cheeks turned pink.


    He released a sexy smile. " And I thought alcohol makes people lose their inhibitions but you seem ill at


    ease. I wonder why." he joked.


    She rolled her eyes and tried to remove his hand on her chin.


    "Let''s just go back inside. Forget it. " she said.


    His eyes turned darker and his face became more serious "Why did you ask me that question Miss


    Hotness?"


    She pouted. She has no choice. "What did you like about me?" she finally asked.


    His lips twitched upwards to one side. "I think your question should be, what I like about you, because I


    still like you until now. " he said before framing her face.


    She was like in a trance because she just stood there staring at him in disbelief.


    "You are not only beautiful. There is something about you that draws men to you though I can''t pinpoint


    what that is." he added , sounding serious.


    She lowered hershes.


    " I haven''t seen you drink a lot. What''s wrong? Guy problems?"


    She moistened her lips before she raised her eyes to his blue ones again. Before she can speak, he


    said, " You can tell me everything. I will listen."


    She tried to hold the stare.


    "I don''t have any male friends so at this point, you are the only one I could ask. Please be honest with


    me. Am I not the type of girl who men want to have a serious rtionship with?" she asked directly.


    ke''s brows furrowed. "And what made you ask that question?" he sounds puzzled.


    She bit her bottom lip instead of responding to him. After a few moments when he felt that she will not


    answer him, he uttered a bad word and pulled her closer to him by her arms.


    "Only a fucked up whacko would think that of you! Look Stacey, I..." his frown deepened as if he


    thought of something which made him not continue what he was about to say.


    He let go of her arms and raked his fingers through his hair. He looks ufortable.


    "ke? Is something wrong? What is it?" She asked him worriedly.


    "We better go back inside. " he just said in little chilly voice.


    Before she could open her mouth again, he made a gesture with his hand telling her to walk ahead of


    him. She just sighed and headed to the bar again.


    Inside, Eve and her fiance stopped dancing and are already on the table. ke pulled a chair for her


    and once she sat down, he got a chair for himself and sat next to her. She looked at his handsome


    face. She thought of flirting with him a little because as he said, he is harmless. Maybe it''s wrong but


    she needs something to boost her ego. Images of Derick and Mr. Grumpy came inside her head so she


    she shook it to erase them.


    To hell with them! She thought, feeling irritated.


    "Give me some! " she instead said with a lightugh and got Eve''s ss with vodka. She gulped the


    content.


    Eve raised her brow but smiled. She just let her.


    Her fiance, Lance chuckled before saying, " Wow! I haven''t seen you drink so much alcohol Stacey!"


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    She shrugged and let out a big smile, " I should have fun cause I am single and ready to mingle..." she


    said jokingly before gulping another shot.


    "Stacey, go easy on the alcohol." ke said as he put his hand on hers which is on the table.


    Lance cleared his throat while Eve coughed when they saw what ke did. Thetter just red at


    them while she just made a face at the lovers before turning her eyes to look at him again.


    "Don''t be a party pooper ke." she said with a pout.


    They are looking at each other''s eyes. ke''s have a nk expression.


    The stare was broken when she heard Eve called her name. She tore her eyes from his.


    "What?" she asked her friend . She pulled back her hand to pour more booze in her ss.


    From her peripheral vision, she saw that ke was about to get the ss from her, so she said."Do


    that and I will kiss you right here, right now."


    She turned her head to him. As they look at each other''s eyes, you could hear a pin drop. After a few


    moments, Eve fanned her own face with her hand. "Whew! It''s getting hot in here babe!" she said to


    Lance.


    "Never say things you don''t mean Miss Hotness.." ke''s voice is little throaty voice which made her


    raise her left brow a bit. She didn''t even removed her eyes from his as she would normally do if he


    looks at her this intensely.. Maybe now she is starting to lose her inhibitions.


    Lance and Eve looked a bit ufortable.


    "Babe, let''s dance again." her friend told Lance before standing up. She didn''t even threw her and


    ke another look. She walked to the dance floor while Lance followed her.


    She took another gulp when the couple left the table. Surprisingly, ke didn''t stop her but when she


    finished the booze in the ss, he took it from her and he poured alcohol again. He filled the ss up


    to the rim then he drank it without looking at her. He did that three times. After the third shot, he put


    down the ss on the table with a thud before he transferred his eyes to her again. She wasn''t aware


    that her mouth was slightly open from surprise. She didn''t expect him to drink that much at such a short


    time. He put another shot on the ss then offered it to her.


    "Since you want to get drunk, then I better join you. Drink one shot , I will drink three. Deal?" he


    challenged her.


    She blinked twice. He sounds serious so she shook her head from left to right.


    "No. " she said in a small voice. She can''t say yes because he can''t drink too much since he will drive


    her home.


    "You used me of being a party pooper so now I am offering you a deal. Let''s both get drunk which is


    more fun. So here Miss Hotness, drink this." He said with an expressionless voice.


    She sighed. "I have to take the taxi if you get drunk. " she told him which got him.


    He shook his head from side to side and clucked before getting the ss to finish up the alcohol with


    one gulp.


    When he was done drinking, he stood up and took her hand. "Let''s just dance!" he said in a cold voice.


    To others they probably look like a couple. ke''s eyes never left her pretty face as they sway to the


    slow music. When she felt that she can no longer bear his eyes on her, she asked him to go back to


    their table. She felt relieved that he agreed without any protest.


    She finally realized one thing. She should not flirt with him. It will be ying with fire. ke is very


    good-looking too and she can''t afford to fall for him. He can''t rekindle his feelings for her too because


    he has a girlfriend and a son already. She should keep that in mind.


    ***


    ke parked his car in front of her house. No one said a word during the drive but she knows that she


    has to apologize to him before she gets off.


    "Thank you ke and I''m sorry for what I did and said."


    She heard him sighed.


    "That''s okay. I also want to say sorry if I said something inappropriate too. I had no intention of being


    fresh but I don''t want you to be roaring drunk because of any man . Your beauty is not only skin deep


    Stacey. And whoever that dickhead is, forget him! You deserve someone better." Seriousness lies in his


    tone.


    ****


    (Nick)


    He had been trying to contact Stacey but she didn''t pick up. He was aware that finding her from all the


    bars which she might go to is like wishing for the moon. He finally gave up after a few hours and


    decided to wait for her toe home. He had been waiting for about half an hour. His big bike is about


    50 meters away from her house . He parked it behind a white van which is on the opposite side. He


    saw a car stopped in front of Stacey''s house. His eyes narrowed when he remembered that the car


    belongs to one of the owners of the bar where Stacey works. He can''t see the inside because the


    vehicle''s windows are heavily tinted. Trying to keep his cool, he waited for them to get off but more than


    two minutes had passed still no one went out.


    "FUCKING HELL!" he swore while gritting his teeth.


    A lot of nasty things are ying inside his head.


    What the fuck are they doing?--he asked himself angrily.


    He got his phone from his pocket and dialed her number.


    ***


    (Stacey)


    " I think your phone''s ringing." ke told her before he reached for her bag which is on the backseat.


    She said thank you to him and took out her phone . She chewed the inside of her bottom lip when she


    saw the caller.


    Derick''s number is shing on her screen.

 Chapter 27

    Chapter 27


    "Aren''t you gonna get that, Miss Hotness? That could be the dickhe?d I was talking about." ke


    joked.


    She let out a nervousugh. "You are funny! Well I have to get inside now. Sorry again and thank you. "


    she said .


    She doesn''t want him to hear her conversation with Derick.


    He just nodded. "Just remember what I told you okay? You are for keeps Stacey." he touched her face


    before he got out to open the door for her.


    (Nick)


    He is almost shaking with anger. Stacey is not answering his call. She has been inside the car with that


    asshole for minutes now and he is about to lose control. After what he felt was an eternity, he saw the


    dickhead got out of the car and went to the other side to open the passenger door for Stacey.


    Don''t you dare touch her you fucking bastard!! He uttered angrily as his body tensed.


    He straightened his back and got on his big bike. He readied himself. If the asshole will touch any part


    of Stacey''s body, he will smack him. He has his helmet on so that wouldn''t be a problem. They won''t


    see his face.


    (Stacey)


    She nodded when she heard ke asked, "Do you have a key?"


    " I don''t want to awaken Amy and bother her sleep. I always bring my key with me. " she said with a


    small smile.


    He smiled back. He waited for her to get inside before he said goodbye and walked to his car.


    When ke left, that''s when she decided to give Derick a call while still in the garage. And just like the


    other day, he has a lot of missed calls. She let out a heavy sigh. She was about to call him when his


    number shed on the screen. He is calling. She swallowed before taking his call.


    "H-Hello.." she answered in a little husky voice.


    She heard his shallow breathing which made her bit the inside of her bottom lip. She knows that he is


    angry because of what she texted him hours ago and her not being able to pick up his calls, made him


    angrier.


    "Go outside! I am behind the ck van near themppost , four houses away! " he said in a gruff voice.


    She managed to say a shaky okay. She carefully opened the gate then closed it again. She saw the


    ck van so she slowly walked to it. Derick is on his big bike bike but the engine is not running. He is in


    a ck leather jacket and he has his helmet on as usual. Through it, she can feel his eyes are on hers.


    He turned his head behind him which is a sign that he wants her to ride on the big bike. She nodded.


    She feels relieved that she is wearing a pair of jeans. No need for her to change in case she was in a


    skirt.


    "Wrap your arms around me! Hold on tight!" he ordered in that croaky voice of his.


    She rested her left cheek on his back before letting her arms go around him. She almost groaned when


    she felt his six-pack through his shirt. She bit her lower lip as she inhales his pleasant musky smell.


    She can''t deny that she missed him so much.


    It''s her first time to ride on a big bike and she would probably be scared if she isn''t with Derick. She


    feels secure when she is with him. She doesn''t know so much about these monsters on the road but


    she is sure that this one cost a fortune. She wondered what his job is. He seems to have plenty of


    money. The bracelet he gave her cost an arm and a leg too.


    They went to a park which is 15 minutes away from her stepfather''s house.


    Derick switched off the engine and turned his head to her . "You can get off now. "


    She did just that. She saw him take out something from his back pocket. When she had her back on


    him, heput an eye mask on her.


    (Nick)


    He has a helmet on so Stacey can''t see his face but he doesn''t want her to see his frame and height.


    He can''t risk it. He took off his helmet after he made sure that she can''t see a thing.


    He clenched his teeth and narrowed his eyes when he saw her right wrist. "Why aren''t you wearing


    your bracelet?!"


    He swallowed a bad word when Stacey ran the tip of her pink tongue on her lips to moisten them. "I


    don''t want to lose it so I don''t wear it ever day.. ."


    He couldn''t help cursing. "Don''t ever take it off! It''s insured so don''t worry if you lose it! Starting


    tomorrow don''t forget to wear it! Never leave your house without it around your wrist! Okay?" He tried


    to control the anger in his voice. It''s a good thing that he has to sound hoarse which prevents him from


    shouting at her out of anger and jealousy.


    He sighed in relief when she just nodded her head before saying an almost inaudible yes. He really


    needs to simmer down . Her answer to his next question for her might make him act violently. He


    inhaled then exhaled a few times before going nearer to her. He cupped her face with his hands.


    "I read your text. You said you were with someone who used to woo you. I saw that the owner of the


    bar where you sing took you home. So does that mean he courted you?" he asked through gritted


    teeth. She must have felt that his hands tightened on her face. She put hers on top of his.


    (Stacey)


    She can sense that he is seething. She wants to evade his question because she feels a bit afraid of


    him at this moment.


    "I am sorry. I only said that to piss you because you weren''t replying to my texts and I couldn''t even call


    you."


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    "Did he woo you?! Answer the fucking question!" he demanded in that throaty voice of his.


    "T-That w-was many years ago. I just wanted to provoke you so you will reply to me." she admitted and


    squeezed the back of his hands which are still framing her face. " I''m sorry."


    All her annoyance disappeared. Now that she is with him, all she wants is for him to hold her. She


    needs to feel his arms around her.


    (Nick)


    He sniffed her. His eyes like slits, he angrily asked, "Have you been drinking?!"


    She just pouted. He couldn''t help swearing again. It''s bad enough that she was with that assh*le and


    the thought of her being under the influence of alcohol while they were together, are all to much for him.


    A lot of things are running inside his head again.


    "DID HE TOUCH YOU??!" he asked through clenched teeth. His nostrils are ring.


    Stacey shook her head to say no. He removed his hand from her face and he stepped back to put a


    little distance between them.


    Cool it...--he told himself as he tried to breath in and out slowly.


    Because of his jealousy, the real Nick Alcantara is surfacing again.


    "Please Derick, ept my sorry. I was just irritated with you because you didn''t text or call me back."


    she said in her sweet voice.


    He let out a heavy sigh. "I was angry with what you said. I wanted to cool off a bit before I talk to you


    again."


    "What did I say?" she asked . She sounds puzzled.


    He sighed and went nearer to her again. He touched her hair and tuck a strand behind her left ear.


    "Never use the F word to describe what we do.It''s much deeper than that. Don''t you feel it honey?" he


    whispered.


    (Stacey)


    "I''m sorry. ." she said huskily.


    She badly wants him to kiss her on the lips but she doesn''t want to ask him directly or give him a sign.


    "Honey, I know I don''t have the right..but can I ask a favor?" she heard him asked.


    She frowned slightly. "What favor?"


    "I want you to stop seeing that assh*le!"


    She bit her bottom lip. She wants to tease him and maybe if he gets more pissed, he would kiss her.


    "I have to see him because I work in his bar." she tried hard to keep a straight face.


    He didn''t say anything. She can only hear his ragged breathing.


    "Okay! If you do, I can''t promise that I won''t hurt him badly.." he threatened which made her knit her


    brows.


    Derick sounds serious and somehow she can feel that he is not joking. Now she is thinking if she


    should continue teasing him to make him more jealous of ke. it won''t be fair to ke if Derick will do


    something bad at him just because of her.


    "Okay. I''ll try to stay away from him." she finally said.


    She didn''t hear him make a sound but she just waited patiently for his response. Then she felt him


    move away from her which she didn''t like. She wants him close to her not far.


    "Derick?" she called his name and extended her arms. Her fingers touched his back.


    "I said I am gonna try." she told him but she didn''t feel any reaction from him .


    It seems that he is still very much annoyed so she decided to make the first move . She stepped


    forward and hugged him from behind. She felt him straightened his back.


    (Nick)


    He was taken aback. He was ready to take her hands off him when he heard her say.."I missed you. I


    am really sorry."


    He is still fuming but he can''t suppress a smile when he heard what she said. It took all his willpower


    not to turn around and wrap his arms around her delicious body and give her a kiss on the lips. But he


    has gone this far because of his ns for them and he had risked a lot already. Last thing he wants is


    to throw every thing away just because he can''t control his desire to kiss or embrace her. Anyway he


    feels that she is already softening to him so maybe a little more patience will not hurt. He stopped


    himself from uttering an obscene word when her arms around him tightened.


    "Derick? I really hope you will stop being angry. I don''t like it when we bicker. We aren''t a couple yet but


    we seem to have been doing nothing else but argue." she said . He can feel her cheek on his back.


    He sighed then he gently removed her arms wrapped around him. He turned to her. His hands are on


    her arms to stop her from hugging him again.


    She protested."Derick.."


    "We have to really talk about us honey." he told her.


    He has to give it a shot. Anyway if she will say no , he will go with n B. The bottom line is, he has to


    let her realized that he is serious about what he wants to happen between the two of them.


    She chewed her bottom lip which made her look more alluring. He heaved a sigh. He cupped her chin.


    "I don''t like you going out with other men although I don''t have the right to stop you. Since we are not


    officially a couple, you will do what you want even if it will anger me. Honey, I can''t bear that anymore.


    After I discovered how wrong I was in judging you,I told myself I want to make it up to you. I made my


    intention clear that I will take full responsibility of what I did. I asked you to go to the next level with me


    .I know you said you want to see me first before making a decision but I have exined why I don''t


    want you to see me yet. I know it''s not easy for you and it''s also difficult for me. But please trust me on


    this honey. I have my own reasons which I promise will bring good results. I want nothing more but the


    best for us. " he said throatily while he looks at her eyes which are hidden under the eye mask.


    (Stacey)


    She can feel the seriousness in his voice and she doesn''t know what to say.


    "Derick.." she just murmured his name again.


    "Honey, will you be my official girlfriend or we stop meeting each other?" he asked her.

 Chapter 28

    Chapter 28


    (Stacey)


    "W-What?" She asked with a stutter.


    "You heard me honey." Derick said dryly.


    She touched her throat. "Do I need to answer that right now?"


    "Yes."


    She suddenly felt a little chilly. She hugged herself. She also inhaled deeply as if she needs more


    oxygen to think properly.


    She felt him put his jacket around her . She closed her eyes which are under the sleep mask. She


    sniffed his wonderful scent engulfing his jacket She thought he would wrapped his arms around her too


    but to her dismay, he seemed to have moved a few steps away from her.


    She almost groaned in frustration. She is starting to feel annoyed. He seems to be teasing her. She


    knows that he can read her like a book so he probably sensed that she is longing for his touch. She


    decided to just deal with what seems like his ultimatum.


    "So if I say no, that means we end everything? No more texts and phone calls?" she asked with a slight


    frown.


    "I hope you won''t say no honey." He said in a very cold voice.


    She moistened her lips. Of course she couldn''t see how his eyes darkened and his hands clenched on


    his sides.


    "I just want to be sure of my feelings for you before we be a real couple, Derick. To be honest , I


    feel something for you but I don''t think it''s enough. Besides it is really very difficult if I say yes to be


    your woman. I want my family and friends to meet my boyfriend but how is that possible if you don''t


    even want to show me your face?"


    "I don''t want other men around you so I want us to be official. You have to tell them to stay away from


    you because I won''t permit it. I promise honey that I will still woo you even if you say yes to me tonight .


    You won''t regret it. " he said in a calm voice with a hint of sweetness which made her frown . He didn''t


    answer her question.


    "Derick, that would only be possible if you let me see your face."


    She heard him cursed again which made her sigh. This is one thing about Derick which really confuses


    her. His mood can easily switch from being sweet to angry. But she has to admit to herself that she


    finds it fascinating at times . He''s an exciting mixture of a bad boy and a lover boy which turns her on.


    He always smells great and he has a great body. He had given her own body pleasure a few times.


    She felt her mouth went dry as she remembers how great he is in bed.


    GOSH STACEY! You are beginning to sound like a wanton hussy! She scolded herself.


    Now she is thinking if she can bear not meeting him again is she won''t say yes. From what she heard


    from him, her doubts about him not being serious with her are slowly fading. The only thing which is


    holding her back is his real reason for not wanting her to see his face. He didn''t directly say what it is.


    He just said that it will be to their advantage.


    She had told him multiple times that she doesn''t care how he looks like so he doesn''t have to worry


    about that.


    He doesn''t want to show his face and he doesn''t use his natural voice with her. He always speaks in a


    throaty voice.


    What is he hiding from her?


    "Honey.." she heard him call her.


    She knows her answer.


    She counted one to five. "No." she finally said. She wasn''t surprised when he cursed.


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Will you just listen to me first before you be angry again?" she asked him with a heavy frown.


    She could hear his shallow breathing. He is probably doing his best to control his temper again.


    "I am all ears.." he said chillingly.


    (Nick)


    He promised himself that if she will say no, he will do his n B though he hopes that he doesn''t have


    to resort to it. His other n is a little extreme. But desperate men do desperate things. He is capable


    of doing everything and anything to make her see, ept and realize that she belongs to him..only to


    him.


    "I am saying no to being your girlfriend now but don''t worry because I will not go out on dates with other


    men. But I keep my stand that until I make sure of what I really feel for you, I won''t say yes." she said


    with finality.


    With eyes like slits, he tried to absorb what she said. So far she has proven to him that she can be


    trusted . He began to trust her when she said she won''t take her blindfold off the first time they were


    together. And if she is not true to her words, she can take off her sleep mask anytime she wants like


    now. But she hasn''t.


    You trust her but how about the men around her? You have seen how her good for nothing former boss


    and that f*cking bastard with tattoo look at her. And what about the other assholes you haven''t seen


    and don''t know about ? he asked himself.


    He angrily pulled his hair in frustration. "DAMMIT!" he loudly cursed which made Stacey gasped.


    " I trust you but I don''t trust the men around you!" he said through gritted teeth.


    "Derick, I can protect myself...." she began but he interrupted her.


    "You weren''t able to protect yourself from me!" he said.


    He saw her straightened her back. "That''s because you are different. Extremely so. ke and Tyler will


    never do what you''ve done to me because they know the real me. " she said . Her voice is


    expressionless.


    That hit home.


    Serves you right asshole!-- he told himself.


    (STACEY)


    "I said that not to bring back the nightmare of our first meeting. I just said that because you are being


    narrow-minded." she said. She is starting to get irritated with him again.


    He became silent for a few moments and she just kept quiet too while waiting for him to speak again.


    "Okay honey. I will wait but I hope it''s okay if I do something when I witness anything I don''t like. " he


    said icily.


    She swallowed. " You will do what?"


    "Something that a man would naturally do if he feels that someone is fucking with him. " His voice


    sounds very cold with a hint of menace.


    "Like what?" she asked nervously.


    "Beat up good for nothing assh*les."


    "W-Why do you have to do that? T-Thats so..so..barbaric!" she said.


    "Because you belong to me and I am the only one who has a im on you! I will knock the living


    daylights out of somebody who will dare take you away from me!" he threatened.


    She chewed the inside of her bottom lip. What he said scared her a bit but it also made her feel giddy.


    Most of the time she can''t understand herself when she''s with him. She is as confusing as he is.


    "I am waiting for your answer honey."


    She can be a one man woman so she finally nodded.


    "Good!" she heard him say with satisfaction.


    " I am holding to your promise but no hard feelings honey if I beat up somebody in case you break it. "


    he added.


    She pouted.


    "Will you stop saying that? You don''t need to beat anyone because I don''t have a n of going out with


    any man after tonight." she said with a frown.


    "Keep that in mind then. I can be very cruel honey ..." he chillingly said.


    She felt fear creep up her spine. Derick is serious and she knows it.


    But she tried to mask how she feels by saying, " And how about you? Will you not go out with other


    women too? It''s very hard for me to know since I don''t see you."


    He seems to have moved closer to her. She felt his warm breath on the top of her head. He didn''t touch


    her.


    " I have no other woman. It''s just you honey and I don''t have any intention of being with other women


    so I expect you to be faithful to me too." he said throatily.


    Somehow, she believes him. She stopped herself from smiling. She definitely feels giddy with what he


    said. Her desire to be kissed by him became more intense because of that. Maybe if she will tease him


    and make him a little jealous, he would finally kiss her.


    " I will try Derick." she made her tone sound light.


    "Don''t try!Do it!" he ordered curtly.


    She pouted before saying, "It''s a little hard to stay faithful to someone you don''t see but I will try."


    (Nick)


    FUCKING HELL! She is really asking for it! He thought.


    He angrily removed his wound dressing then he pulled her to him by her nape. He did what he wasn''t


    supposed to do.


    He kissed her on the lips.

 Chapter 29

    Chapter 29


    (Nick)


    He felt her gasped with surprise when his lips touched hers. She raised her hands to his own which are


    cupping her face.


    Keep your lips closed Alcantara! He ordered himself.


    It''s bad enough that he couldn''t control himself from kissing her but it will be worse if he will let his


    desire for her take over his head. He badly wants to get his tongue inside her sweet mouth.


    Not as Derick dammit!--he scolded himself.


    He is making sure that the kiss is just lips to lips. No tongue. When Stacey slightly opened her mouth


    so he can deepen the kiss , he tore his lips from hers. She groaned in protest. He knows that she


    wants more. He lowered his face so his forehead can rest on hers.


    "No honey. Not tonight." he whispered and he saw her pout her lips which made her more alluring. "It''s


    really gettingte. I''ll take you home. Please don''t forget what we talked about, honey." he reminded


    her.


    (Stacey)


    She is disappointed. She even opened her mouth but he ended the kiss and that annoyed her. She will


    not do that again.


    He instructed her to take off her blindfold when he already has his helmet on.


    "Let me help you put on my jacket first. I don''t want you catching a cold. It''s quite chilly." he told her.


    She pouted but she just let him help her with the jacket which was on her shoulders. She doesn''t want


    to say anything to him. She sulkily got on the big bike. This time she just rested her hands on his


    shoulders. She didn''t snake them around him unlike what she did a while ago. She also didn''t rest her


    cheek on his back. She wants a distance between them.


    She heard him sighed then he turned his head to say, "Honey, put your arms and hands around me. I


    don''t want you to fall off the cruiser."


    "I''ll be fine . Let''s go." she just said in a chilly voice.


    She is angry with him. Just when she misses him, he acts like if he doesn''t want to touch or kiss her.


    It''s fine with her if he didn''t want to deepen the kiss . She wanted him to kiss her longer. A kiss on her


    cheeks or neck would have been okay too. He used to like petting but he is acting strangely tonight.


    Maybe he is tired of me already but he doesn''t want to say it to my face! she suddenly thought.


    (Nick)


    He knows that she is angry. He is also annoyed with himself. He really wants to kiss her passionately


    and hold her but him meeting her tonight is unnned. If he didn''t get pissed with her text message, he


    was supposed to meet her on Friday, not tonight. He can''t kiss any part of her body either because his


    stubble is growing. She will feel the roughness of his jaw and chin against her smooth skin. He can''t


    take that risk. He should always be clean- shaven as Derick. He just lost his control so he kissed her.


    But now he needs to pacify her. He doesn''t want her to think that he lost his desire for her. He wanted


    her arms around him but he can''t do anything. All throughout the ride, she has her hands on his


    shoulders and he can hardly feel her body pressed against his. He has been looking forward to feeling


    her wonderful tits against his back again. But no chance. She seems to be really annoyed.


    Finally, he stopped his big bike where he parked it near her house more than an hour ago. He waited


    for her to get off the big bike before he pulled her to him by her waist without him getting off the big bike


    .


    "Honey..." he murmured his endearment for her.


    She tried to avoid looking at him and he hates that.


    "Wait! Here''s your jacket." she said in a cold voice after pushing him from her to take it off and hand it


    to him.


    He got it and put it on before he reached for her again. "Honey, please look at me." he requested.


    She seemed reluctant to turn her face to him. He ran his eyes on her pretty features. Even with his


    helmet on, he appreciates seeing her face this close. She is really beautiful.


    "Don''t ever think that I don''t like to kiss or hold you. What I want from you is more than physical. I don''t


    want you to think that each time we meet, all I want is sex. It''s very hard for me to control my desire for


    you but I really want to try so good luck to me." he said with a chuckle.


    "What if I tell you that I want you to kiss and hold me? I said that I have been missing you so much,


    didn''t I ?" she asked with a slight frown.


    He couldn''t help groaning. He pulled her to him again. This time it''s tighter. He is using his right arm


    and hand. He can''t get off his big bike to hug her although he really wants to. He doesn''t want her to


    guess his height. She mightpare it to Nick''s .


    For now, he has to be satisfied that the right part of his body is close to hers. She feels so soft. His


    body always reacts when he sees her from afar. Having her this close and smelling her and feeling her


    delicious body doubles his body''s reaction.


    SHIT! I think I am beginning to be a sexual pervert because of her! He thought.


    He is worried that he won''t be able to control himself from kissing or touching her before Friday.


    As Nick, I will definitely do something about that! I can''t wait to see her again on Monday.--he told


    himself with a devilish grin.


    "Get inside honey.." he said gently before he squeezed her waist then released her. She nodded.


    But after a second or two, he pulled her to him again then cupped her bottom with his right hand. He


    really can''t get enough of her.


    She murmured a protest at first but she shed a smile. She then wrapped her arms around his nape


    then whispered." Goodnight Derick. Drive carefully okay?"


    And before moving away she touched his right arm then moistened her lips. "I''ll miss you." she said


    huskily.


    He smiled under his helmet. He likes it very much when she says that.


    "I will miss you more honey. Goodnight." he said throatily.


    (Stacey)


    It''s her first day . Mr. Grumpy called her very early in the morning. He said he will be a littlete but told


    her that she has to be at the office at 8 AM sharp. He said that his secretary will brief her on her tasks.


    He sounded like what she expected him to be... very bossy. She just hopes that she will be able to


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    tolerate being one of his employees. She wouldn''t think of applying to hispany if he didn''t


    ckmail her. She is not that desperate to work for a condescending boss. She made a note to buy


    facial moisturizer because she doesn''t want to have lines on her face due to stress. She is one


    hundred percent sure that he will be very demanding to work for so she is hoping that he won''t be


    always in the office.


    She chose to wear a body hugging mustard colored top and ck capri pants and strappy ck


    sandals. She applied a little make-up then just let her hair loose. She dabbed RL Pink #2 by Ralph


    Lauren on her wrists and behind her ears.


    ***


    "Hi! I am Cherry. I am the sexy secretary of Mr. Alcantara also known as PTEF ." a bubbly petite young


    woman said when she entered Nick''s office.


    "Hello. Nice to meet you. I am Stacey. You said PTEF. What does it stand for?" she asked with a small


    but pretty smile..


    Cherry leaned towards her and pretended to look from left to right to make sure that they are alone.


    "Pink Tacos'' Extreme Fantasy..."she whispered with a giggle which made her giggle too.


    " A lot of women in this office fantasize about him because he is sizzling hot! The face, the body and


    his thing down there which I haven''t seen of course but have a vivid image ! That massive thing of his


    will make pink tacos extremely wet from pleasure!" the secretary said while biting her bottom lip which


    is supposed to be seductive but seems to be funny because of her expression. "Just by looking at him


    will make you dripping wet already! He is almost perfection! " she added giddily.


    She just smiled. She likes the secretary. She finds her vulgar words about Mr. Grumpy funny. She has


    a feeling that her days at Nick''s office will not be that bad because of Cherry. She is a bit relieved


    because of that.


    Then Cherry moved a little away from her. She went round her while looking at her face and body up


    and down and vice versa. She is tapping her chin with her right index finger.


    "Are you sure that you are the new graphic designer? You are too gorgeous to just be an ordinary


    employee! Wait! You are probably sir Nick''s undercover girlfriend! Yes! I think that''s who you are! He


    sent you here to watch us closely !" Cherry said with a shocked expression which made herugh


    quietly.


    She shook her head from left to right a few times.


    "No I am not his girlfriend and I will never be. Mr. Alcantara''s standards are too high. I am not his type.


    He''s way out of my league. " she said as she puts down her resume on Cherry''s table.


    "You are out of my league but I hope you will consider having coffee with me." someone from behind


    them said.


    They turned to where the voice came from. A pleasant looking man is standing near the open door. He


    has a cute grin as he looks at her.


    "Good morning sir Billy!" Cherry greeted the neer.


    He nodded at the secretary but his eyes are on hers. " Are you a new employee? " he asked her.


    She was about to answer but Cherry butted in. " Yes sir! She is the new graphic designer! Her name is


    Stacey!"


    Billy moved forward and extended his hand to her. "Hello Stacey. I am Billy Dominguez." he introduced


    himself.


    She shook his hand."Stacey Ledesma." she said.


    He is staring at her but she doesn''t feel ufortable. He seems friendly and jolly.


    "My friend is really very lucky. Hats off to him. He is surrounded by gorgeous women even at his office.


    Well Nick Alcantara really has it all." he said while still shing his friendly smile at her.


    "I agree with that sir Billy! Sir Nick is lucky to have me although I admit that Stacey is a little prettier


    than me. "Cherry joked and Billy chuckled.


    "I think I will be here more often. Or maybe it will be better if I also apply here so I can see you every


    day the whole day. " he said with that cute smile of his.


    Staceyughed quietly.


    "STOP FLIRTING WITH MY STAFF BILLY!" came a thunderous voice.


    They all turned and saw Nick behind them. He looks furious.

 Chapter 30

    Chapter 30


    FUCKING HELL! She is flirting with Billy!" Nick thought furiously as he res at Stacey.


    Stacey almost released an exasperated sigh. Her monster boss is already in a bad temper this early


    Monday morning. He doesn''t have the wound dressing anymore but the bruise on his jaw is still a bit


    visible. But she feels that it''s so unfair because his hotness can''t be denied even when he has a slight


    discoloration on his jaw and a heavy frown. Cherry is right. Nick Alcantara is sizzling. He looks ever


    hotter in his business suit. PTEF suits him.


    Cherry immediately went back to her table after saying a quick good morning to Mr. Grumpy.


    Billy, looking unaffected by Nick''s anger, smiled at him. "Good morning mate! Happy Monday!" he even


    saluted him but Nick ignored him.


    "Miss Mendez! Are you done with Miss Ledesma''s orientation ?" he asked Cherry in a voice with a


    trace of irritation.


    The secretary looked guilty. "Not yet sir." she answered in small voice.


    Nick''s expression became grimmer. " Then why on earth are you wasting time chatting? Tell her what


    she needs to do now because I want her in my office in 15 minutes! " he demanded like a king.


    Cherry just said yes while avoiding looking at his eyes. She on the other hand pouted. She is looking at


    Mr. Grumpy whose steely eyes are also on hers. Billy is just quietly observing what''s happening.


    "Did you hear that Miss Ledesma? Be in my office in 15 minutes!" he coldly said to her. His eyes have


    a certain glint as he looks at her.


    His attitude is really annoying and she wants to say something about it but of course, she held her


    tongue. "Yes I did sir. Would that be all? " she asked in a very polite way.


    He didn''t answer her but a muscle jerked in his jaw. Without tearing his eyes from her, he said," "Follow


    me to my office Billy!"


    She thought he will not move yet but thankfully after a few more seconds, he turned and started to walk


    to his private office.


    When his back was on them, Billy mouthed sorry to her with an apologetic smile. She just nodded and


    smiled at him too. Unfortunately, Mr. Grumpy turned his head and saw their exchange. Stacey thought


    she heard him cursed. She bit her lower lip.


    "BILLY!" he angrily called after halting.


    He stepped aside to let his friend go first. He is almost ring at her again. When Billy moved, she


    turned to talk to Cherry. She had too much of Nick''s arrogance.


    (Nick)


    He is ready to blow a fuse. Billy has a stupid grin as he went inside his office. He mmed the door


    and faced him.


    "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?" he rasped.


    "Mate! Just chill." Billy said calmly as he raised both his hands." I am not going to fight you. You are my


    best buddy you know that. " he said with a chuckle.


    "Chill?!! You are asking me to fucking chill? It''s barely 8:30 AM and you have the fucking guts to flirt


    with my new graphic designer?! What the hell are you doing here this early anyway?! " he barked at


    him as he went to his personal fridge to get a beer. He didn''t even bother to give or offer him like he


    used to. He angrily sat on his swivel chair and opened his beer. He gulped some of it before he put the


    can on the table with a thud which made Billy cock one brow.


    "Don''t you think it''s also a little early to be having that? What''s bugging you, mate?" Billy asked as he


    pretends to be interested in some papers on his table. He picked up one folder.


    "Put that down!" he shouted at him.


    Billy faked a scared expression before quickly putting down the folder. "Whoaa dude! Will you cool it?


    Why are you so grumpy this morning? And why is Stacey working here? " He asked him with a heavy


    frown. He sat down on the chair in front of his desk.


    He heaved a sigh before answering. "This is better than her singing in that bar. " he said in a


    surprisingly calmer voice. With one more gulp he finished off the beer. He crashed the can with his


    hand.


    He saw Billy''s eyes lit up.


    "Dang mate! At first you bought all the June issue of Not Eye Candy magazine where she is the cover.


    Now you got her to work for you! I sure hope that you are not nning to make her your woman like


    her sister! That is very bad dude! You can''t let them have a cat fight over you!"


    "Will you just fuck off?! Do something with your filthy mind! Look! If you don''t have anything important


    to say, get out of my office! I have a hectic schedule today so stop wasting my time!" he said to him in


    an exasperated voice before turning on hisptop.


    Billy chuckled as he stood up. He got something from his pant''s back pocket.


    "Here!" he said as he tossed a folded magazine on the table."Delivery!" he said with a grin." But I don''t


    think you will be interested in that because the cover and centerfold model is different. Besides, you


    have the supposed to be Miss June working for you who is way hotter than the new model." he said


    with a wink.


    He red at him. "Didn''t I tell you to stop calling her that?!!" he said, gritting his teeth.


    "Sorry mate! I am only human. I am bound to make mistakes you know!" he joked and he narrowed his


    eyes at him.


    But what Billy said next made him utter a bad word.


    "I am really curious mate! Who do you like more? Heather or Stacey? "


    "If you don''t zip it , I will charge you for all the essories which were installed in your new car! " he


    threatened him.


    "Okay! Okay! I am leaving! Sorry mate! Just my two cents, both are very pretty but Stacey is hotter!" he


    said as he moved his hands to describe an hour ss body.


    "DAMMIT BILLY!" he furiously stood up and threw his empty beer can to him.


    Billy burst outughing as he tried to avoid the empty tin. That''s when they heard a knock.


    "You are so touchy dude! No worries! I am really leaving so you can rx. " Billy chuckled as he walked


    towards the door.


    He snorted as he still glowers at his friend. His eyes became half slits when Billy opened the door.


    Stacey is outside. He muttered a curse when Billy said hi to her again. She just nodded at Billy and


    released a small smile before she looked at him.


    "Sir, you told me I shoulde here after 15 minutes." she said, her voice is void of emotion.


    His jaw clenched. Her smile is gone and her face is passive now that she is talking to him.


    "Close the door behind you Billy! Expect the bill of your car''s essories on your table this afternoon."


    he said tonelessly while he keeps the eye contact with Stacey.


    SHIT! She looks delicious!-He thought. Now he can see clearly what she has on and how she looks like


    this morniing. He felt his dick reacted.


    "Dang mate! I''m sure you are joking. I said sorry already! Don''t send the bill! Be charitable dude! " he


    said before turning his head again to look at Stacey.


    "Good luck Miss Beautiful. It was really nice to meet you. I''m sure that I will be seeing more of you. " he


    said with a beam.


    "Nice to meet you too Mr.Dominguez." Stacey responded.


    "Just call me Billy. See you around Stacey." he said winking at her.


    "Okay Billy." she said with a small smile.


    Nick clenched his fists. "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE AND CLOSE THE DOOR BILLY!"


    His friend bowed at him yfully before closing the door. When he got out, he and Stacey just looked


    at each other''s eyes.


    I should punish her for flirting with Billy! he thought angrily.


    He took a deep breath to calm himself a little.


    "Is that your resume?" he asked in a very cold voice as he transferred his eyes to the folder she is


    holding.


    She nodded. She moved forward to hand it to him. "Take your seat!" he ordered after getting it. He


    started to check her curriculum vitae.


    (Stacey)


    She stifled a sigh at his high-handed attitude. Nick Alcantra was born with a silver spoon in his mouth


    so how could she me him for acting this way? She needs to get used to it. That''s what she has to


    do. She frowned when she saw a magazine on his table.


    Looks like a copy of Not Eye Candy magazine.


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    She felt heat came up her cheeks. She suddenly thought of all the copies of the magazines he bought


    where she was the centerfold. What did he do with them? How many times had he looked at them?


    She swallowed a groan of frustration and embarrassment. She was almost naked in those photos.


    (Nick)


    He caught her ncing at something on his table. When she noticed that he saw what she is looking


    at, she moved her eyes on her hands which are on herp. She didn''t see the grin which broke his


    handsome face. She is not even aware how alluring she looks with her crimson cheeks.


    She''s even lovelier when she blushes. Her cheeks are flushed just like when I lick her sweet nub and


    hole... he thought lustfully and his c*ck throbbed.


    "Do you want to know what I did with the original June issue?" he suddenly asked her.


    She jerked her head up to look at him. Her cheeks still has a pink glow on them.


    "A gentleman wouldn''t ask such a question." she said with her eyes like daggers.


    He put down her resume on the table and leaned on his swivel chair. He has a naughty smile on his


    lips.


    "Sorry to disappoint you Miss Ledesma..but I am not a gentleman." he said as he stares openly at her


    breasts up to her lips.


    He saw her lips formed a thin line but he will say what he wants. This is a part of her punishment. How


    dare she let Billy openly flirt with her in his office!


    "Those magazines with your hot photos are all worth it . I paid a hefty sum but I don''t regret buying


    them. They are like an investment. I especially like the interview but you know what? I just found out


    that you are way hotter in person. You are sizzling at a very close range and you smell really wonderful


    too..." he said with a naughty grin.


    She angrily stood up. "With all due respect sir, I think you know that you are not supposed to say that to


    me.That is sexual harassment. You forced me to work for you so the least you could do is show a little


    respect!" she said in what seems to be a controlled voice.


    SHIT! You have gone too far again Alcantara!- He scolded himself.


    "Sorry." He said all of a sudden which surprised him.


    (Stacey)


    She gaped. She couldn''t believe her ears.


    Did he just say sorry? She asked herself.


    "You heard me right Miss Ledesma so can you sit down again?" he asked with a hint of irritation.


    She pouted. Even Mr. High and Mighty can read her like a book just like Derick. Is she that


    transparent? She feels a bit annoyed with herself.


    She decided to do what he said. She sat down. She sighed and narrowed her eyes at him as he also


    looks at her. His have a hard glint in them.


    "One rule you have to remember in this office is I don''t tolerate flirting! I don''t pay you to chat up with


    anyone! " he said harshly.


    She couldn''t help sighing heavily. "Mr.Alcantara, first of all, I am not a flirt so I wasn''t flirting with Billy.


    He is your friend so I was just being polite." she said in a calm voice though deep inside she wants to


    scratch his handsome face.


    He ignored what she said. She doesn''t have a clue that he doesn''t like her being nice to any man


    beside him as Nick or as Derick.


    "Wow! You are already on a first name basis with each other aren''t you? So what''s next? A date?" he


    sarcastically asked.


    She is trying very hard to hold his stare. The way he is looking at her is making her really


    ufortable. She has to admit that she finds him very attractive minus his high-handedness of


    course. She likes men with a bad boy attitude but Nick Alcantara seems to be too bad for her taste.


    "What I do outside your office is none of your business , sir!" she said in a cold voice. She is still


    holding on to her temper.


    (Nick)


    Images of her former boss and the bar owner with the tattoo came inside his head. He imagined her


    going out with either of them which made him angrier.


    Fuck!


    She stood from the seat again. " Since you already have my resume , sir. I''ll go out now."she said.


    He angrily stood up too and walked quickly to her. He grabbed her forearm which of course surprised


    her.


    "S-Sir?!" her eyes wide, she looks at him with her mouth slightly open. She looks scared and shocked.


    "Did you just fucking say it''s none of my business ? Well the hell it isn''t! " he said through clenched


    teeth before he took hold of her nape and assaulted her mouth.

 Chapter 31

    Chapter 31


    Nick is consumed by his need to taste Stacey''s mouth again. All the hours and days of waiting to


    possess her luscious lips again has taken its toll. His tongue hungrily attacked her sweet mouth.


    Stacey feels like she is being sucked into something gratifying. The movement of Nick''s lips is


    unexpectedly very pleasurable. She isn''t even aware that she is moaning. Her hands are gripping his


    biceps.


    Stacey''s moans fueled Nick''s craving to repeatedly make love to her. His right hand is now on her neck


    as he holds her head in position for their wild kiss. He is running his other hand on her back to mold her


    body to his. He badly wants their body to be one.He tore his lips from hers to kiss the side of her


    neck.


    "Honey...." he groaned.


    Stacey''s back stiffened when she heard what he called her. With a lot of force, she pushed him from


    her.


    GOSH! I almost have forgotten about Derick! She thought.


    Nick was taken aback which was the reason why Stacey was able to push him. With eyes like half slits,


    he ran them on her. He swallowed . She looks so sensuous with her lips almost bare of lipstick and


    they are slightly swollen from his kiss. Her eyes are steely and before he can react, she pped his left


    cheek.


    "If you ever do that again, I will quit! I no longer care what you''ll do with the magazines! Sell them if you


    want or give them away! The hell I care! I don''t want to work for a pervert like you!" she angrily said


    before storming out of his office.


    "FUCKING HELL!" Nick grabbed some of his hair in vexation.


    He didn''t mean to call her honey. It was a slip of the tongue. He should really be more careful. His


    desire for her is making him loose his equilibrium. He seems to be in his puberty age. His libido is like a


    teenager''s.


    "DAMN IT!!" he angrily rubbed his face with his right hand.


    (Stacey)


    She is grateful for small mercies. Cherry is not at her table when she came out of Nick''s private office.


    She doesn''t want her to see the state she is in. She looks flushed from the kiss. She is quite sure that


    the sides of her lips are smeared with lipstick .She quickly grabbed her bag which is on the secretary''s


    table. She has to retouch her make-up.


    She rested her back on the door of the cubicle after closing it. Her knees feel weak.


    She pped Nick Alcantara.


    Deep inside her, she worries about the consequences of what she just did.


    But she doesn''t want to be his employee right? It would be to her advantage if he will fire her.


    She massaged her temples when she thought about the magazines. Out of anger, she said that he can


    do what he wants with them.


    "That was the most stupid thing to say!! " she uttered angrily.


    She closed her eyes then touched her lips. They feel so sensitive. She can still taste him.


    NO! she scolded herself .


    She opened her eyes as she quickly tried to erase her thoughts. She bit the inside of her bottom lip


    because she remembered Derick. She promised him that she won''t go out with other men but what


    happened is worse. She was kissed by another man!


    He took me by surprise! She defended herself.


    But didn''t you enjoy it? A part of her brain asked.


    She feels guilty. She will call Derick. She could erase her guilty feeling if she will talk to him. She will let


    him know how she misses him. She took her phone and dialed his number.


    (Nick)


    He is on his swivel chair just staring at the wall when he heard his ring tone.He picked up one of his


    phones and saw Stacey''s number on the screen.


    Frowning, he stood up to lock his door before he took the call. He is wondering why she is calling


    Derick.


    "Honey?" he asked in that throaty voice of Derick.


    "H-Hello." she answered huskily.


    "Is something wrong? Why did you call?" he asked worriedly.


    She didn''t immediately respond which made his frown deepen.


    "I-I c-called to say I miss you." she said.


    The crease on his forehead cleared a little. She may have pped him as Nick but she is now being


    sweet to him as Derick.


    He smiled. But his smile disappeared when he thought that she might be calling him from somewhere


    outside thepany''s premises.


    "Where are you honey?" he asked her.


    "At work."


    He almost gave out a sigh of relief.


    "How about you? Where are you?" she asked him.


    He heard her voice echoing. "Honey? Where exactly are you?"


    Stacey got out of the cubicle and fumbled inside her bag for her lipstick .


    "In thepany''s restroom. Why?"


    "That exins the echo." he said with a grin. Stacey didn''t leave the building. He is sure that she is


    retouching her make-up.


    "I asked you where you are."


    "I''m ..err.. in my office." he told her.


    "Stacey! So this is where you are! I thought you left because your bag wasn''t on my table! "


    Nick''s eyes narrowed when he heard his secretary''s voice.


    "Geez girl! Sir Billy looks almost smitten when he saw you!" Cherry added which made him grit his


    teeth.


    (Stacey)


    She almost uttered a worried sound. Derick heard what Cherry said. She put her forefinger in front of


    her mouth to tell her to keep quiet then she pointed at her phone. Cherry got the message so she just


    smiled apologetically.


    "Opps sorry! I didn''t know you were on the phone. Is that your boyfriend?" Cherry asked.


    She pouted. How will she answer that? Derick is not her official boyfriend. She almost sighed when she


    heard his shallow breathing.


    "She asked you a question honey." He said throatily. "And who is Billy?" he asked in a very cold voice .


    She knows he is angry. Derick is very possessive.


    With her eyes, she sent another silent message to Cherry. She felt relieved when she said, " Well.. I will


    go ahead Stacey. Sir Nick might need me. See youter!"


    She gave her a small smile. After Cherry closed the door, " Derick, I hope you are not angry. I didn''t


    know how to answer her . " she exined.


    "Who is Billy?" Nick asked. He wants to test her if she will tell the truth but she didn''t answer him


    immediately.


    "Honey? I asked you two times already." he said with an arctic voice.


    "H-He is a friend of my boss." she replied in a small voice.


    Nick sat on his chair again. He leaned . Maybe he should ask her questions about her "boss".


    "Is your boss a male of a female?"


    Before answering Nick''s question, Stacey removed the cap of her lipstick.


    "Male." she said before applying some color on her lips


    "Good-looking?" Nick asked. He''s very curious to know her answer.


    Stacey was really surprised at his out of the blue question. Her hand shook a little which caused a


    smear.


    "I''m sorry? What was that?" she asked while she wipes the smeared lipstick outside the corner of her


    lips with her index finger.


    (Nick)


    "He is probably very good-looking. " he tried to hide the smile in his voice. He swallowed a chuckle.


    "Maybe some women find him attractive but I don''t like him. He is condescending, fresh and very


    demanding!" Stacey said with a hint of irritation in her voice.


    His grin disappeared.


    The fuck? She doesn''t like me?! he asked himself in disbelief .


    "I told you many times that looks don''t matter to me. I like you more Derick. You are nicer and you


    really take care of me. The onlyint I have is you didn''t want to kiss mest Saturday. " she said


    with a pout probably. " I miss you Derick.." she added sounding sincere.


    He gritted his teeth and balled his left fist. He didn''t like what she said about Nick. Physically she is not


    attracted to him?


    That''s a first! He thought.


    "Derick?"


    But that''s what he wanted right? He wanted her to like him as Derick whom she hasn''t seen so he can


    prove to himself that she is not after his looks and money . He now believes that she doesn''t truly care


    about physical appearance.


    Stacey is really one in a million. He made the right decision. He chose well. He will do anything and


    everything to make the whole her his. Only his.


    (Stacey)


    Her forehead creased. Is Derick still on the line?


    "Hello Derick?"


    "Honey.." he finally answered.


    She sighed in relief.


    "I thought the line was cut. Can you call meter? I have to go back now. My high-handed boss might


    start looking for me. " she said . She is putting her lipstick back in her bag.


    "Okay."


    " I really do miss you a lot Derick. I''ll wait for your callter." she said huskily.


    She was waiting for him to say that he misses her too but he just hang up.


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    She heaved a sigh.


    He is really bipr. She thought.


    (Nick)


    He is probably sick in the head.


    He is jealous of himself.


    Stacey prefers Derick over Nick. It''s probably okay if he as Nick, her boss, won''t often see her. But the


    fact is, he will see her five days a week. And he is positive that he won''t be able to stop himself from


    kissing or touching her.


    So what now asshole? You are going topete with yourself? --he asked himself.


    He wants Stacey to like him too as Nick. What she said kept on going inside his head.


    Maybe some women find him attractive but I don''t like him. He is condescending, fresh and very


    demanding!


    He stood up and made his decision.


    "So you don''t like such men honey? Maybe Nick will have to change his ways..." he said before a


    naughty grin crossed his lips.

 Chapter 32

    Chapter 32


    (Stacey)


    She is drawing some designs when Cherry pulled a chair and sat next to her.


    "Stacey can I ask you a question?" she heard her asked and she just nodded while continuing what


    she''s doing.


    "I am really curious. How many boyfriends have you had? "


    Without looking at her, she answered." I never had a boyfriend. " She threw the secretary a nce.


    "Get out of here! You are too gorgeous! No boyfriend since birth? Bah! " Cherry said to her with her


    eyes wide in disbelief.


    "I am telling you the truth." she said matter-of-factly with a small smile then continued drawing.


    "No way! That is really unbelievable! If I were in your shoes, I would probably have a lot of rich and


    good-looking boyfriend! Geez louise Stacey ! Don''t let your beauty go to waste!" Cherry said which


    made herugh quietly before she raised her face to look at her again.


    "Hold on! I have a bright idea ! Let me introduce you to someone! He''s single and works at an IT


    "Aren''t you supposed to be working Miss Mendez?!" an authoritative voice asked.


    Both she and Cherry looked up and saw Nick''s angry face. She stopped herself from rolling her eyes.


    Monster boss strikes again. She just went back drawing. It''s better for her to just ignore him.


    "Sorry sir. I was just having a 5-minute break." She heard Cherry say to him as she pulled the chair


    back to her own table.


    "Miss Ledesma! Gather your things! We''ll go to one of my auto-detailing shops and the new site where


    they are constructing a new building! You will make the ad designs for them! I''ll wait for you at the


    basement parking. Hurry up!" he ordered as he heads to the door.


    She started organizing her things as soon as Nick''s back disappeared.


    "Oh my God Stacey! You are really special! This is the first time sir PTEF will do such a thing!" Cherry


    giddily whispered but loud enough for her to hear.


    "Do what?" she asked the secretary before getting her backpack to put the stuff she needs. She is


    ready to go.


    But Cherry hurriedly walked to her and stopped her from following Nick by her hand on her forearm.


    She leaned closer to her and said, " FYI, sir PTEF never goes to his shops or siteswith the graphic


    designer . He just orders thepany driver to bring her or him there. And now he is going with you?!


    Tsk! Well actually I am not surprised because like sir Billy, sir Nick probably finds you very very pretty!


    And you may not be his woman as you said which I still doubt, but I am sure you will be a couple really


    soon! You are perfect for each other! "


    She rolled her eyes at her and said, " Cherry your imagination is getting wild. He is my sister''s


    boyfriend that''s probably the reason why he will go with me today. It is going to be easier for both of us


    if he can exin to me what designs he likes in detail as I check the ces. He doesn''t want my sister


    to think that he is giving me a hard time at work. That''s all! I have to leave now . Talk to youter."


    ***


    She went out of the elevator and saw a white BMW 435i Gran Coupe which is parked a few meters


    away. The chauffeur saw her then approached her to get her backpack .


    "Thanks but it''s okay. This is just very light. " she told him with a small smile.


    "My name is Norman mam. Let me take it. " the driver who is probably in his 40s insisted so she had no


    choice but to give her bag to him.


    "This way mam." he politely said as he led her to the car.


    "Please just call me Stacey. " she said with a smile. Norman smiled back and bowed his head before


    he opened the back door for her.


    Her forehead creased when she saw Nick . He just looked at her but didn''t say anything when she got


    in. She is grateful that at least he doesn''t seem to be in a foul mood though he has a serious


    expression. She almost flinched when he leaned forward to her.


    "Buckle up!" He reached for her seat belt and fastened it.


    She stopped herself from raising one of her brows. She is not used to him acting like a gentleman. She


    just said thank you before turning her head to look out the window. She wants to hide her expression


    from him. She felt a tingling sensation when his hand identally touched herp when he adjusted


    her seat belt. She told herself that she was just surprised by his chivalry. It was really unexpected.


    During the drive, he told her about his businesses and shops and the designs he wants for each of


    them. Now it is fully sinking in. Mr. Grumpy is filthy rich. Heather will really not let him go. She felt a little


    pain somewhere in her heart when she thought about that. She bit her bottom lip. She has to be honest


    to herself at least. She finds PTEF very attractive.


    He is not the man for me. I should just stick to Derick. Anyway I already feel something for him. But I


    should be extra careful. Nick Alcantara is dangerously attractive and from the looks of it, can be very


    persuasive. I shouldn''t forget that he is Heather''s boyfriend. She thought.


    She discovered that when ites to work, Nick is really serious. They went to his biggest auto-


    detailing shops and one new site for his other businesses . His auto-detailing shop itself seems to be


    really sessful and she has a feeling that his other businesses are also doing very well. They spent


    the whole morning going around. Nick is really loaded and with his money and status, she is curious


    why he doesn''t have a bodyguard. She will ask Cherry about thatter.


    It was almost 1 PM when they were finally done.


    Like earlier, he fastened her seat belt. She tried to stop herself from feeling anything when his hand


    came in contact with her arm.


    "Where do you want to eat lunch? Choose a restaurant. ''" he suddenly asked after he straightened his


    back .


    She felt stupid just staring at him because of his unexpected question. He is also looking at her. She


    lowered her eyes to her hands on herp. She can''t hold the stare. She didn''t see that Nick''s brows


    knitted when his eyes went to her hands. She is not wearing the bracelet from Derick.


    "I''ll just eat at the office." she murmured without looking at him.


    "Okay. I''ll call delivery. " she heard him say.


    She bit her bottom lip when she heard what he ordered. She wonders if he eats ordinary food. With his


    money, he can dine at the finest restaurants or hotels anytime.


    ***


    "This day is really full of surprises! A lot of firsts happened since this morning! Do you know that our


    yummy boss had never eaten lunch with us until now?! And the food! Oh my God! It''s my first time to


    taste such wonderful dishes! I don''t even know most of them!" Cherry said with a giggle.


    She hid her disappointment with a small smile. She thought Nick ordered food for the two of them and


    they will eat together in his private office. But they had lunch in the office''s big pantry. He ordered a lot


    of Mediterranean food. They ate with all of his staff. Another thing she discovered about him is he is a


    very generous boss. Therge pantry is loaded with food and the staff can help themselves to the


    snacks and beverages.


    And ording to Cherry, Nick''s family owns the ten-story building. Two floors are used by Nick. In total,


    he has 25 staff including her. Since he just left to meet a client, Stacey is more rxed. She feels on


    the edge when she knows he is in the office.


    "Our boss is really very rich. He has almost everything. No wonder the number of the PTEF members


    is increasing! " Cherry said with a heavy sigh.


    She remembered to ask her why Nick doesn''t have bodyguards.

    "He doesn''t need one. I know he has a ck belt in judo or karate . And he said since he doesn''t do


    any illegal dealings, he need not worry about anything. Besides he can defend himself from anyone,


    anytime , anywhere." Cherry exined.


    It was her turn to sigh. She is discovering so many good things about Nick. He is really a good catch.


    He has bad points but nobody''s perfect anyway. Heather is really lucky. She scolded herself for having


    such thoughts.


    She just focused on doing her tasks the rest of the afternoon. She is not sure though if she should feel


    happy or a bit disappointed when Nick didn''t go back to the office. She looked at the clock. 5 PM.


    Cherry happily told her she will go ahead because she has a date. She just nodded. After 10 more


    minutes, she decided to go home with a heavy feeling.


    She was surprised to see ke standing next to his Honda CBR1000RR with his arms across his


    chest. She remembered Derick with his cruiser. But unlike Derick, ke is not wearing leather jacket.


    He has a ck sweater on with ck jeans. He looks hot. He straightened when he saw her car.


    She opened her car''s window. She smiled at him.


    "Miss Hotness!" he smiled back at her.


    "Why are you here? Let''s go inside the house. " she suggested.


    "Your mom left a few minutes ago with her friends. She told me to wait for you inside but I said I''ll just


    wait here. Actually I want to invite you. Miss Hotness, will you have dinner with me?" he asked with that


    wonderful smile of his.


    She moistened her lips. She checked the time. Nick said that she is not supposed to go out at night but


    it''s still early. It''s only 6 PM. And she feels that there''s nothing wrong if she dines out with ke. She is


    not bar-hopping or partying. And in case of Derick, ke is a friend so she is not also going against his


    will. She will just eat dinner with a friend.


    She finally nodded at him and his smile widened. "I''ll just get the car in the garage." she told him.


    ***


    She almost covered her ears when Amy , after closing the big gate came to her excitedly.


    "Miss pretty!! And who is that very good-looking guy outside? I am so jealous! You have all these


    handsome men around you! Sir Tyler , Sir Nick and that one out there!"


    "Shhh! Keep it low Amy! He might hear you. That''s ke. Eve''s cousin. " she told the help before


    ncing at ke who is patiently waiting outside.


    "Oh! He was the one on the phone the other day. Well he is hot too! But in my opinion Miss Pretty, sir


    Nick is hotter! He looked so good even when almost half of his face was covered with a wound


    dressing . He''s not only hot it seems that he is very rich too! I like him more for you Miss Pretty! You


    look perfect together! A match made in heaven indeed!" Amy said with a wink.


    "Stop saying that Amy! He is Heather''s boyfriend. Close the door as soon as I got out. " she told her as


    she walks to go outside.


    "Hold on Miss Pretty!!" Amy stopped her with her hand on her wrist." I don''t think they are a couple.


    Last time he was here, I saw that it was your sister who almost threw herself at him. Sir Nick didn''t


    seem to like it! He also left a minutes after you and sir Tyler left the house. " Amy revealed which made


    her frown.


    That seems unlikely buting from Amy, it could be true. She chose not toment to what she said


    instead, she just got out of the garage to go to ke.


    "Let''s go Miss Hotness. " ke said with a grin and she just nodded. "This is Eve''s. Wear this. " he said


    before gently putting the pink helmet on her.


    (Nick)


    He is in a bad mood because he wasn''t able to go back to his office to see Stacey before the end of the


    office hours. He wanted to see her so he nned to go to her house and ask her out for dinner. He can


    make an excuse that it''s about work. He just needs to be with her. But he had to go home first after his


    meeting with his client to change into a more casual wear. He also changed his car minus his driver. He


    is pissed with himself. He should have called or messaged her first because if he did, she won''t be


    doing this.


    "Fucking hell!" he angrily muttered.


    She is on the back of a big bike with her hands on the shoulder of an assh*le. He banged his fists on


    the steering wheel. His breathing became ragged as he tried hard to control his fury. He will follow them


    and he will deal with the d*ckhead Stacey is with.

 Chapter 33

    Chapter 33


    (Nick)


    He is talking to someone on his phone while he tails them. He is hoping that Stacey will not snake her


    arms around the a*shole as she did with Derick because all hell will break lose. Her hands are resting


    on the other man''s shoulders but he is still very pissed.


    No one should be that close to her but me!--he kept repeating to himself.


    When the motorcycle stopped in front of a Spanish restaurant, he chose to park on the cafe next to it.


    He is using a different car so he is not worried that Stacey will know it''s him inside and the windows are


    heavily tinted. His eyes are never leaving them. He dialed his phone again when the two entered the


    restaurant.


    "Where are you? What''s taking you so long?" he impatiently asked to the person on the other end of


    the line ..


    (Stacey)


    "Is this table okay Miss Hotness?" she heard ke asked her as they were led to a table for two at the


    corner.


    She nodded then looked around. The ce is cozy. She likes the yellow lights and the fact that there


    are only few people since it''s a Monday.


    "What do you want?" asked ke. He has a nice smile which made him more attractive.


    "You decide. Anything is fine with me. " she said in a small voice . She avoided looking at him because


    of his intense stare.


    She considered this a friendly date and not something that Derick will get angry about.


    He ordered gazpacho, cuchifritos, fideua and creme brulee for dessert. He also ordered txakoli for their


    drink so she slightly frowned when the waiter left.


    "What''s wrong?" he asked her. His voice sounded worried.


    "We shouldn''t be drinking. Especially you. " she said.


    "Don''t worry. It has low alcohol content. We''ll just have one ss each. You don''t even have to finish it


    off. I wouldn''t put our lives in jeopardy." he assured her.


    (Nick)


    He got out of his car. He is standing next to it as he waits for someone. His hands are clenched. He has


    been calling Stacey as Derick but she is not picking up. He is livid but he just can''t go inside the


    restaurant and beat the life out of that bastard she''s with. He now knows she is with the bar''s owner. At


    this point, though he wants to be violent, he should be more rational. Stacey already has a very bad


    opinion of him. He will deal with the bar owner one of these days. He can''t make a scene tonight.


    (Stacey)


    "Why did you order all these ke? This is too much! " she eximed .


    " We won''t leave unless we eat everything. "he joked as he put food on her te.


    She just released a sigh and smiled . ke didn''t change. He was already sweet and thoughtful when


    he was still wooing her. Actually his bad boy image doesn''t suit the real him. He may look tough outside


    but she knows better.


    "Oh my gosh ke! That''e enough!" she let out a quietugh as he puts a lot of food on her te.


    "ke!" she almost shrieked before she stopped his hand from putting more.


    Then all of a sudden something made her turn her head to look at the entrance door. The head waiter


    opened it and two diners came into view. She swallowed when she saw that it''s Nick and he is with a


    beautiful woman. ke couldn''t see them because he has his back on the door but she has a full view


    of them. She dropped her eyes to her food. Nick hasn''t seen her yet. Even just looking at them only for


    a few seconds, she already has the woman''s image vividly in her head. She has her dark hair tied in a


    bun. She looks sophisticated. She seems to be Hispanic. She is in a purple mini-dress which


    emphasized her slim figure. She is tall because the top of her head reaches Nick''s forehead. Thetter


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    has his hand behind her back. She has to admit that they look good together.


    She didn''t know that she lost color which didn''t escape ke.


    "Are you okay Stacey? You look pale . Is something wrong? " he asked her. He sounded really


    concerned.


    She shook her head from side to side. " Nothing. I''m okay. Let''s eat." she said in a small voice.


    She dreads the time when Nick and the woman have to pass by their table.


    Please, don''t let them sit close to us..please..--she silently prayed.


    "What a surprise to see you here Miss Ledesma." came a very cold voice.


    She and ke looked up. She met Nick''s cold eyes. She got goose bumps.


    "S-Sir? " she uttered . She hopes it didn''t sound shaky.


    From her peripheral vision, she saw that the woman he is with, is already at the table next to them. She


    seems to be looking at their direction.


    ke tore his eyes from Nick and looked at her. His brows are knitted as if he wants to ask her


    something.


    "I just want to know if you have finished the designs." he said with an arctic tone.


    She just nodded.


    "Good . I have some things to tell youter." he added. His eyes are like half slits.


    She saw his mouth formed a thin line when he looked at their table. His eyes seem to be searching for


    something. After a few more seconds, he turned his back without saying anything anymore.


    When he was out of earshot, ke with a frown, asked. "You work for him?"


    She chewed the bottom of her lip then nodded at him. He sighed heavily and his frowned deepened as


    he leaned his back on his seat.


    (Nick)


    He can''t help gritting his teeth. Stacey isn''t bringing her purse . That exins why she isn''t answering


    his calls.


    "Simmer down babe." Tanya told him with a big smile "You are being too obvious." she added.


    Tanya is his first lover. She is Billy''s cousin. He is three years her junior. When he was in high school,


    he fantasized about her due to teenage hormones. Tanya used to spend summer vacations at Billy''s


    house. He used to peek from behind the shrubs around the pool when she is swimming or sunbathing.


    She loved wearing two piece bikinis which gave him a boner. Tanya has a great body.


    One time, he slept over Billy''s house and sneaked out of his friend''s room. He wanted to check if Tanya


    is still in the pool. She was swimming with her friends when he and Billy came home. Billy''s parents


    were out of town so she could pretty much do anything just like her cousin.


    He went to the same ce where he usually goes when he peeps. He frowned in disappointment when


    he saw no one. Only empty bottles of beer and leftover snacks. With a heavy feeling, he decided to go


    back to Billy''s room. But when he turned, Tanya was there. She has a seductive smile. She said that


    she was aware of what he has been doing just to see her almost naked body. She said that she likes


    him too.


    That night, she did a very naughty thing. She gave him a head. She even said that she will let him f*ck


    him the next day but not at Billy''s house.


    They did it in her unit. ording to her, since she had three boyfriends already, she is an expert in


    making love. And she wanted her to be his first when he honestly told her that he had never done it.


    They did it once and since it was the first time for him, he felt it was the best.They did it against the


    wall.


    It was her who taught him not to kiss on the lips before sex. A fuck is just a fuck. No emotional


    attachment. After that one time with her, he tried doing it with other women. That''s when he started his


    rule about women. One woman, one fuck.


    For many years, he enjoyed having sex with different women but only once. Tanya repeatedly asked


    him to f*ck her again but he said no. But since she is very persistent, he let her give him a head once in


    a while. She even said that among the men she had slept with, she likes his c*ck the most. It''s the


    biggest and she loved swallowing his c*m. They had that kind of rtionship for probably two years. It


    only stopped when Tanya got married and had to move to another country. She recently got divorced


    so she is back. She has been in the country for several months now and strange as it may seem, they


    don''t have any sexual rtionship now . Maybe she finally got the message that he is no longer


    interested in her. Being the liberated woman that she is, Tanya just gave up and epted his decision.


    They somehow became friends. He called her tonight to pose as his date.


    "I never doubted your taste in women babe. She is very pretty." he heard her say. She touched his


    hand on the table.


    "But the man she is with is also hot..but not as hot as you of course..." she said huskily ."And he looks


    as if he is very interested in her." she added.


    "DAMN IT! I didn''t bring you here to fuel my anger Tanya! I have been wanting to smack that assh*le


    but of course not in front of her! So just stop! " he said through gritted teeth.


    Tanya raised her hand to touch his cheek which is red from anger.


    "I have never seen you like this babe. So this must be serious huh?" she asked.


    He didn''t reply. He just let her touch his face. He is trying very hard to cool down and they have to keep


    it low because he is afraid that Stacey will hear them.


    He threw them a nce. Their table is on the right side of theirs. He muttered a very bad word when he


    saw that the bar owner is leaning towards her. His elbows are on the table. They seem to be talking


    about something serious. He balled his fists and was about to stand up but Tanya stopped him.


    "Hush babe! Don''t let your anger get the better of you. Listen to me babe..I have a n..." she said


    huskily as she looks seductively at him.

 Chapter 34

    Chapter 34


    "Stacey, why are you working for him?" asked ke.


    "I need the job. It pays well." she lied. She can''t keep the eye contact so her eyes went down to her


    te. She is not used to lying but she can''t tell him the truth.


    He sighed. " Well I have to agree that it is better than singing at the bar. My only concern is the way he


    looks at you. I don'' trust him a bit." ke said with knitted brows before ncing at the table where


    Nick and his date are.


    She also looked at their table but only for a few seconds. She saw that the woman''s hand is on Nick''s


    cheek and she seems to be pacifying him.


    He is not only high-handed! He is also a womanizer! What a cheater! If only Heather treats me like a


    sister and doesn''t put me in trouble, then I would tell her that her arrogant boyfriend is here with


    another woman! She thought.


    At this moment, she forgot about her attraction to him. Her dislike is surfacing. She should really stop


    thinking about him so she decided to just focus her attention to ke.


    She readied a small smile for him. "Let''s change the subject. I want to know why you asked me to dine


    out. "


    He returned his eyes to her. " I missed seeing you at the bar every night. " he seriously said..


    She frowned slightly. " Hmm.. I don''t think that''s good. You can''t fall for me again, okay? It''s a no-no! "


    she joked.


    He chuckled. It was a very sexy sound. He leaned on his chair then crossed his arms on his chest.


    "That reminds me.st time we were together you asked me what I liked about you before, right? "


    She nodded before sipping some of the wine.


    "This time I have a question for you."


    "What is it?" she asked. She put down her ss.


    "If I don''t have a girlfriend, do I have a chance with you now Stacey? " he asked sounding serious.


    She didn''t expect that so she gaped at him.


    (Nick)


    "Your n better work Tanya." he said after gulping some of the Juve y Camps Brut Nature Gran


    Reserva 2010 in his wine ss.


    "It will work babe, trust me. But you should go easy on the booze."


    They don''t want any heavy meal so they are just having jamon serrano with their wine.


    "Stop looking at them so you won''t get pissed. If you will just let me, I will take care of youter. I will


    make you happy just like in the past, babe. " Tanya said huskily after moistening her lips. She is looking


    at him with smoky eyes.


    "No dice Tanya."he said with a firm tone.


    Now because of Stacey, the more that he doesn''t want to rekindle his sexual rtionship with her .


    (Tanya)


    She released a smile which doesn''t reach her eyes. She turned her head to the right. She finds the


    man Nick''s slut is with, very attractive too. He will be a perfect substitute for Nick. She just has to wait


    for the perfect time. Anyway she is sure that Nick will not go out of this ce without his slut and that


    would suit her fine. If she can''t have him tonight, she will try her luck with that guy. It has been such a


    long time since she has beenid. She thought Nick called her because he changed his mind. She has


    been missing how she used to mouth-f*ck him. She felt annoyed that he called her to pretend to be his


    date for that woman. But she will just y along with what he wants for now. Sooner orter, she will


    taste him again. She smiled at him before pretending to be busy with her phone.


    ***


    "Why are you asking me that question now ke?" Stacey is frowning slightly. ke leaned forward


    and touched her hand.


    Unfortunately, Nick saw everything. ke''s hand on Stacey''s. He furiously stood up. Even Tanya


    couldn''t stop him this time.


    "Miss Ledesma! Can I have a word with you?! "he asked in a chilly voice.


    Stacey and ke turned their eyes to him. Nick has very grim expression. His eyes are steely and he


    is breathing in gasps. Tanya appeared behind him.


    "Babe.." she called Nick but he didn''t even look at her. His eyes are on ke.


    Nick finally snapped due to jealousy. Tanya nned something more subtle but out of anger, Nick lost


    control. Now Tanya is worried that Nick won''t be able to do what he said earlier which is not to smack


    the other man.


    ke also stood from his seat. He looks angry too. "You are being disrespectful! Don''t you see that


    Stacey and I are talking? She is with me okay?!" he growled.


    Stacey rose from her chair too. Nick''s expression is rming. He looks ready to hit ke. They are


    already causing a scene so she has to do something quick.


    "ke, it''s okay. Let me talk to my boss. I''m sure it''s something important rted to work." she told


    him.


    The two men are ring at each other but Nick''s expression is scarier. Stacey doesn''t know why Nick


    is angry but she can''t let them hurt each other. Both are well-built but since Nick looks more furious, he


    may have the upper hand.


    ke got her hand to pull her to his side. She swallowed when she saw how Nick''s expression became


    more menacing. She quickly got her hand back from ke when Nick made a movement toe


    closer to them. She is scared to death. She feels that any moment now her boss will act violently. Then


    Tanya walked to go to ke''s left side.


    "Let them talk. Let''s just wait for them here." she said to ke.


    Stacey almost sighed in relief. At least the woman is trying to stop a possible brawl.


    "We won''t be long ke. " she looked at him with her eyes pleading. She is thankful that he turned his


    All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    head to look at her.


    He seems unconvinced at first but after a few seconds, he just nodded at her before turning his head


    again to glower at Nick.


    (Nick)


    FUCKING HELL! The bastard is acting like her boyfriend! he furiously thought.


    He felt all the blood came up his head. Without thinking, he grabbed Stacey''s arm to get her away from


    the fucking asshole. He will deal with himter....


    "Hey!" the a*shole tried to stop him from walking away with Stacey.


    "Don''t even think about it..." he threatened and he was about to grab him by the cor but Stacey went


    between them.


    "ke please..let me just talk to him."


    "Sir is there any problem?"


    He heard one of the waiters asked. Without responding to him, he pulled Stacey by her arm.


    (Stacey)


    Nick dragged her outside.


    "Sir, where are we going?" she asked nervously.


    She frowned when she saw two suspiciously looking men eyeing ke''s motorcycle.


    "Sir wait!" she told Nick.


    She has to tell ke about them. They might do something with his big bike but Nick continued to pull


    her to his car after throwing her an angry look. He opened the car''s door andshoved her in. She didn''t


    protest because his grim expression is sending shivers down her spine.


    She asked him where they are going but he ignored her so she just sat quietly and looked out the


    window as he drives. She wants to ask him a lot of questions but she chose to wait. He is still in a foul


    mood. It finally sank in that her monster boss will do whatever he wants regardless of the people who


    will be affected. Like now, he just left his date just like that.


    She felt relieved when she noticed that they are heading to her stepfather''s house. But before he


    turned to their street, he pulled over on the side of the road.


    "How many men are you seeing?!" he angrily asked.


    An expression of disbelief crossed her face. She turned her head to look at him.


    "I beg your pardon?!" she asked with her eyes wide.


    His mouth is set in a thin line. She discovered that when he is angry, a muscle jerks in his right jaw. It''s


    so unfair that however furious this condescending man is, he still looks so damn hot and he smells


    wonderful too.


    She tried to shake off what she just thought.


    (Nick)


    He is breathing raggedly. Tanya had a better n but it went to waste because he is jealous as hell. He


    wanted to stay calm but it all went out of the window because he saw red.


    That f*cking a*shole is still lucky that I didn''t beat him to a pulp! He angrily thought.


    "Last Saturday, you were with your former boss and now with a different one?! Didn''t I tell you that I


    don''t hire immoral employees? How many men are you dating? A different man each day?" he asked


    through gritted teeth.


    (Stacey)


    She is afraid of him but she is also starting to get annoyed again.


    " I told you that what I do outside your office is none of your business ! You are being unreasonable!


    You have no right to be angry and act this way!" she said in a cold voice.


    "Believe me Stacey, I have all the fucking right..." he said menacingly.


    What he said and how he is looking at her made her heart skip a beat.

 Chapter 35

    Chapter 35


    (Stacey)


    "W-What? What do you mean?" she asked, her voice trembling a little.


    She has mixed emotions. She feels a bit giddy and at the same time afraid. His eyes have a certain


    glint which is hard to ce.


    Then his face softened. "I like you."


    That made her more shocked than she already is. He leaned forward to touch her cheek.


    "I more than like you..I want you.." he said huskily.


    As if in hypnotized, she is just staring at him in awe. Her mouth is slightly open. That is the most


    unexpected thing she heard from him . He was about to kiss her which broke her trance. She pushed


    him away from her.


    "NO!"she protested and his expression hardened again. He straightened and his hands went to the


    steering wheel to grip it.


    "What do you mean no?" he asked with a very cold tone. His eyes are very hard.


    She can''t stand the stare so she turned her head to look out the window. " You are Heather''s


    boyfriend."


    She didn''t hear any reaction from him. It''s impossible to have a rtionship with him so she has to


    make her messagee across. Maybe what she will say next will make him stop doing all these.


    " Stay away from me sir. I already have a boyfriend. " she added.


    I can''t handle someone like you. You will just break me to pieces when you decide to leave me for other


    women. I don''t want to be your toy. I won''t let you do that to me. I can''t do that to myself..she thought


    sadly.


    "Who is your boyfriend?" she heard him asked chillingly.


    She yed with her fingers on herp.Deep inside, she is waiting for him to say that he is not


    Heather''s boyfriend but he didn''t deny nor confirm it which somehow hurts.


    What''s the matter with her? What is she thinking?


    She shook her head slightly. She needs to clear her head. She is asplicated as he is.


    "You don''t need to know, sir ." she said, trying to make her voice neutral. She doesn''t want him to


    notice that she''s bluffing.


    (Nick)


    Chill Alcantara! You need to have your head examined! Dammit! He scolded himself.


    He made a slip again. He didn''t n to tell her how he feels. Tanya is right, he shouldn''t let his


    emotions get the better of him. His jealousy and his desire for Stacey are clouding his disposition.


    "Who is your boyfriend? Your former boss or that bar owner you are with tonight?" he asked icily.


    He looked at her. He saw her moistened her lips then she shook her head from side to side. He


    suddenly closed his eyes. At least that''s good. Now he knows the boyfriend she is referring to is Derick.


    But somehow that worries him a bit. He feels that he is never sure when ites to her. He will be only


    "Do you really think by saying you have a boyfriend, I will stop pursuing you?" he asked her.


    (Stacey)


    She moved her eyes to him again when he said that.


    " I will pretend that I didn''t hear that, sir! Aren''t you ever satisfied with just one woman? Look, I won''t


    tell my sister what I saw tonight but please stop this. If you like collecting women, spare me. I am not


    interested. I am happy with my boyfriend. " she tore here eyes from him and looked out the window.


    "Why do you think so badly of me? Just to make things straight, I don''t collect women. I have never


    been with two women at the same time. " he said.


    She sighed then she had no choice but to look at him once again which she regretted. Nick Alcantara is


    sinfully sexy and he sometimes has a way with words especially when he wants to get his way . She


    has to be tough so she can control her feelings. If she won''t be, she will be in trouble. Like Derick, he is


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    also a bit bipr which strange as it may seems, she finds attractive. Men like them are never boring.


    To make matters worse, unlike Derick, she sees him almost every day and though she hates it to admit


    it, she really finds him physically attractive. Who could say no to this man? His secretary is right, Nick


    Alcantara is every woman''s fantasy.


    "What I think doesn''t matter so you don''t have to exin yourself, sir. I love my boyfriend because he is


    a good man. Besides, my rtionship with Heather is already bad and I don''t want it to get worse so


    please take me home now, sir. " she almost begged him.


    "For the record, Heather is not my girlfriend. Didn''t you hear what I just said? I have never been with


    two women at the same time. I told you that I want you and I won''t say that if your sister and I are a


    couple. " he said sounding serious.


    She is speechless. She knows that he is telling the truth. She feels it. But she is now getting annoyed


    with herself because a part of her is relieved that he is not Heather''s man.


    NO! I can''t be feeling this way! She scolded herself.


    Okay, so he is not her half-sister''s boyfriend but he was with another woman tonight and he just left her


    like that. She feels sorry for her. She doesn''t want to be one of his women because she doesn''t want to


    be treated like that.


    (Nick)


    He released a heavy sigh before he stepped on the gas to drive slowly to her house. He is not regretful


    that he told her about Heather although he didn''t n to do that tonight but he has to make her like him


    as Nick. If he made her keep believing that he is with her sister, his chance would be slim.


    She hasn''t seen Derick but she liked him, then the more that she should like him as Nick. His ego is


    hurt big time because she said that she doesn''t find him attractive. She already has a bad opinion of


    him and his not being able to control his emotions probably made it worse. Sooner orter she will


    discover that Derick and Nick are the same person so she should like him as Nick before that happens.


    She has to ept everything about him not only his looks and money but also his high-handed


    attitude, his being moody and especially his being very possessive.


    (STACEY)


    She is determined not to be lured by his charms. Next time she meets Derick, she will agree to be his


    girlfriend. She is better off with him. Nick will just break her heart. She wants to save herself from being


    hurt.


    She was about to open her door when Nick said, " I have never wooed a woman but I will give it a try


    this time with you. Sorry if I have been rude and I acted like a beast tonight at the restaurant. I am not a


    violent person. I try to control myself most of the time but I am only human. I am not perfect. I really


    want you to like me Stacey. I am not as bad as you think I am." he said while he is intensely looking at


    her.


    "Sir, I am sure a lot of more beautiful women out there want to be your girlfriend. You can take your


    pick. I already have a boyfriend so you can''t woo me. I will be cheating on him if I let you pursue me."


    she said in a calm voice.


    She should try to be less defiant . The more she disagrees with him, the worse things will be. Whether


    she likes it or not, he is her boss. They have to work together harmoniously. One thing she mustn''t


    forget though is, she should do her best to resist his charms .She needs a lot of luck in doing that. She


    almost crossed her fingers with the thought.


    "I am the right man for you Stacey and you are the perfect woman for me. You will be mine, never


    forget that." he said with confidence while eating her with his eyes.


    You are mine and I will not let any one take you away from me. Nick added to himself.

    (Stacey)


    She just finished her shower but until now she can''t seem to get over what Nick said. Looks like all he


    does is cause her trouble since they met. She has to shake off thoughts of him and do more important


    things like calling Derick. He has a lot of missed calls.


    She was about to get her phone when it started ringing. She smiled when she saw his name on the


    screen.


    "Hello." she huskily answered.


    She is guilty because she felt a little giddy when Nick said he likes and wants her. But she should not


    dwell on that now because Derick is on the phone.


    "Honey, why didn''t you answer my calls?" he asked in a gruff voice.


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Sorry, I forgot my phone in the car."


    She bit her bottom lip because she shouldn''t have said that. Knowing Derick, he will ask many


    questions.


    I won''t lie to him . I will tell him that I was out with ke but I will omit some parts. She thought.


    (Nick)


    He knitted his brows. This is a good chance to test her honesty.


    "Did you say you left it in your car? Why?" he asked.


    He heard her released a sigh. He patiently waited for her to respond.


    "Derick, I want to say something but I hope you won''t get angry." she finally said.


    He sat on the edge of his bed. "I am listening honey."


    There was silence again for a few moments.


    "I went out with my friend. He is the other owner of the bar where I used to sing."


    He narrowed his eyes and gripped the phone. "Where did you go?" He doesn''t sound angry but his


    voice is a little arctic.


    "We dined out."


    "Then?"


    "Err.. I went home."


    "Why did he ask you out? And why did you go? Didn''t you promise that you won''t go out on dates with


    other men?" This time he couldn''t help sounding a bit pissed.


    "T-That wasn''t a date Derick. He''s my friend. Besides we didn''t get to talk much because I saw my


    boss there and he wanted to speak to me." she exined.


    "He used to woo you for crying out loud!" he rasped.


    "I''m sorry. I swear that it won''t happen again. And Derick? Can''t we meet earlier than Friday? I want to


    tell you something."


    That made him stood up from the bed.


    WHAT THE FUCK? And what the hell is that? He asked himself. Now he is starting to feel worried.


    "Tell me now. What is it?" he asked while he tries to control his tone and voice.


    He heard her sighed heavily. "HONEY!" he rasped.


    "Derick, I will just tell you on Friday. Please.." she begged.


    Should he dare see her before Friday? One part of his brain said that he should wait until Friday.


    Don''t let your emotions control you again Alcantara! He scolded himself.


    (Stacey)


    "Derick?" She is worried that he hang up. The line became quiet.


    "I''m here." he answered throatily.


    "Can we meet tomorrow? I really miss you." she said sounding breathy.


    She does miss him and his kisses. Their set up is really very difficult for her. He has the say when they


    can meet. Maybe she should impose on what she wants this time.


    "I can''t honey. I have an out-of-town meeting until Thursday."


    She groaned in frustration.


    " Why do we only meet whenever you want to? It''s so unfair! Like now I want be with you but I have to


    wait until Friday! This set up is worse than I thought! I feel like I am the other woman!"


    She heard him utter something inaudible.


    "And you think this is not hard for me too honey? Just please bear with me. Give me a little more time


    okay? It''s all I ask. After that we can meet anytime you want. Even every day. Please honey.. "


    She is on the verge of hanging up on him. "How long? Two weeks? Two months? Three?! How much


    more time you want?!" she asked sounding impatient and irritated.


    She is really getting annoyed. She has to be with Derick to experience the feeling she has when they


    are together. His absence is making her more prone to Nick Alcantara''s charm. Now she wants to


    regret agreeing to this set up.


    Should I make him angry? Maybe he wille and meet me just likest time. She thought.


    She is thinking of pissing him by telling him she wants out so he wille even if it''s veryte already.


    But he said he is out of town and she isn''t bratty like Heather so she can''t do that. She doesn''t want


    him to have problems at work just to indulge her whim.


    "Honey?" he sounded worried and a little pissed too.


    Then she realized that he''s right. This is not easy for him too. She knows that he likes being with her


    but he can''t meet her this week because of his work.


    "OKay. I''ll meet you on Friday then. I guess we are both tired already so let''s end this conversation


    now. Take care. " she pushed the end button then turned off her cell phone.


    She decided to just try to forget about Derick and Nick tonight. A deep slumber is what she needs.


    ***


    Next morning, she got up on the wrong side of the bed. Unfortunately she didn''t sleep her troubles


    away regarding Derick. She has to wait until Friday to be with him. She is wishing that before that day,


    she won''t do anything childish out of her annoyance with him. She really wants to have physical


    contact with him, not exactly sex though. She is longing for his presence and kisses and touch. She


    just sighed as she got ready for work.


    She tried to tone down her looks this morning. She tied her hair up in a pony tail and applied a very


    light lipstick. She put on a ck cardigan over her sleeveless top. She has cotton tapered ck pants


    and ck-low-heeled pumps.


    She was inside the elevator when twodies entered the lift. Both smiled at her.


    " She probably proposed to our boss." one of them said with a giggle when the door closed.


    "Bah! I don''t like that woman for him! Don''t you see how she drools over him when they are together?


    She always looks like she wants to have sex with him all the time if I may say!" the one with shorter


    hair said with a pout.


    The second girl yfully pinched her arm.


    "You are just jealous! Stop dreaming that he will notice us! He is way out of our league! Maybe if you


    buy a love potion, you might have a chance with him! " she joked.


    "Well I just wished that I will be transferred to the PTEF (Pink Taco''s Extreme Fantasy) floor so I can


    see him often! I will ask Cherry what''s been going on there! I was absent for two days so I want some


    updates!" the short haired woman said with a heavy sigh.


    The elevator stopped on the 6th floor. The two stepped out of the lift but she heard one of them say


    before the door closed again, " Cathy said that there is a new female employee! You have to act fast


    before she gets the boss first!"


    Are they talking about me or is there a new employee aside from me? She asked herself with a frown.


    She is sure that the boss they were talking about is Nick but who is the woman they were referring to?


    Nick Alcantara has a long line of women who are willing to share his bed. She made the right decision


    to avoid him.


    Today she is wearing the bracelet from Derick though she is still a bit mad at him. She put it on to shoo


    Nick away. She will say that it''s from her boyfriend so he will finally get the picture. With a heavy sigh,


    she got out of the lift.


    ***


    "Good morning Stacey!" Cherry greeted her with her sunny smile.


    She smiled at her too and greeted her back. She put her things on her table. Cherry walked to her. She


    took her hand/


    "WOW!!" she eximed as she looks at her bracelet. "How gorgeous! Look at all these small


    diamonds!" she added.


    "It''s from my boyfriend." she said still smiling.


    "Huh? You said you don''t have a boyfriend." Cherry looks confused. She let go of her hand.


    She heaved a sigh. "Sorry for lying. We had a fight a few days ago and decided to have a cool off. But


    Cherry rolled her eyes and released a sigh too. "To be honest, I didn''t believe you when you said you


    don''t have a man because you are too pretty! I want to meet your boyfriend Stacey. I am positive that


    he is dishy!" she added giddily.


    (Nick)


    He was about to open the door which is ajar when he heard his secretary and Stacey talking.


    "Your are very pretty so your boyfriend must be very rich and hunky! " Cherry said.


    He heard Staceyughed slightly.


    "Cherry, I don''t care about looks. I am not into drop dead gorgeous rich men. Most of them are


    womanizers ."


    "I don''t agree! Not all men are like that! Besides, having you for a girlfriend will be more than enough


    for any male! He is definitely crazy if he fools around with other women if you were his already!"


    "Being pretty is not an assurance that you partner will stay faithful to you. There are too many


    temptations out there. "


    "Duh! You are too negative. But I am really curious Stacey, what if sir Nick woo you? Would you


    consider saying yes to him? "


    "That''s out of the question Cherry. I already have a boyfriend."


    "What if you weren''t with someone?"


    "I would rather say yes to my former boss who used to court me."


    "Your ex-boss wooed you? Is he old? Is that why you resigned?" Cherry sounded very surprised.


    Again, he heard Stacey released a smallugh.


    "Don''t be silly. That wasn''t the reason why I quit. He is not old. He is actually nice-looking . And if I were


    single, I would choose him over our boss because he is not a womanizer, unlike... you know.. " another


    lightugh.


    His eyes turned into slits . He pushed the door angrily. The two women turned and are now looking at


    him. Cherry''s face turned a little pale. She probably feels that he heard their conversation. He


    transferred his eyes to Stacey. She looks cool and unworried as if she doesn''t care if he overheard


    them or not.


    "Good morning sir." his secretary greeted him.


    "Miss Mendez, tell the maintenance to move Miss Ledesma''s desk to my office. " he told her but his


    eyes are on Stacey.


    "R-Right away sir. " Cherry murmured.


    "Why sir? I feelfortable working here." Stacey asked. Her forehead is creased.


    He slowly ran his eyes from her face down her body.


    You don''t like me? Well we''ll see how long you''ll be able to resist me honey. He thought.


    "Since you are going to work for me for a long time, we should build a good rapport. And I always look


    after my interests so I want to watch you closely. " he said matter-of-factly.

 Chapter 37

    Chapter 37


    ( Stacey)


    She was about to protest but he turned his back already. She is dumbfounded. She stared at his closed


    door. Then after a second or two, she felt Cherry poke her arm.


    "Geez Stacey! Now it''s confirmed! Sir PTEF likes you!"


    She looked at her . She shook her head from left to right. "No.. " she murmured.


    " FYI! Our boss doesn''t allow just anyone inside his private office! I have been his secretary for 2 years


    but the longest I was inside is 10 minutes and that''s for dictations! Now he wants you to be with him


    from 8 to 5, Monday to Friday?! There is really a first time for everything!" Cherry said with a wink.


    She chewed the inside of her bottom lip. She is worried that in no time, everyone in the building will


    know that Mr. Alcantara''s new graphic designer is going to work in his private office with him. She can''t


    have that.


    "Wait! I''ll be back! I ''ll just call the maintenance. " Cherry said before going out.


    When the secretary went out, she decided to talk to Nick. She has to make him see sense. She


    discouraged her former boss Tyler from wooing her before because she didn''t want the other


    employees to gossip about them. The more that she doesn''t want to be the topic of the office gossip


    now that Nick is her boss.


    She knocked two times on his door before opening it slightly. She saw him standing near the window.


    His back is on her. He turned as if he sensed her presence.


    "Sir can we talk?" she asked him.


    "Come in!" he ordered as he moved towards his chair.


    She quietly closed the door behind her.


    Don''t forget that he can make your life miserable in and outside work. He has all the means to do that


    so talk to him politely and try to hold on to your temper..She advised herself.


    "Do sit down Miss Ledesma." he said , sounding formal.


    She nodded then sat down. She sighed before looking at him.


    "Sir, I don''t want people talking about us so can I just continue working outside? " she requested.


    He leaned on his chair without replying. His handsome face looks rxed .


    "Do you think I care what other people say?" he asked.


    "Sir , I am the woman here so I think in the end, I will be at the disadvantage." she exined.


    He sighed before he leaned forward on his table to look at her more intently.


    "And why do you say that you will be at the disadvantage?"


    His question got her.


    Should she dare say honestly what she thinks?


    "Miss Ledesma?" he arched his left brow while he waits for her answer.


    "Sir, I hope you won''t get offended but contrary to what you said about not collecting women, I think


    your reputation is not exactly good.." she finally told him.


    "You think or you heard Miss Ledesma?" he teased.


    His naughty smile made him look hotter than he already is. She almost gritted her teeth. She feels that


    Nick is deliberately using his panty- wrecking smile to lure her.


    She stopped herself from raising a brow.


    "Sir, what I mean is, I don''t want your other employees to think that we are mixing business with


    pleasure. We know that is a recipe for disaster."


    She wants to throw something at his face because he is almost grinning from ear to ear now.


    "Maybe for other people it could be a disaster. But as for me, mixing business with pleasure with you


    will be ... pure ecstasy.." he drawled and his eyes became darker.


    She moistened her lips because they suddenly felt dry.


    "Don''t you want to experience that with me Miss Ledesma? I will make sure that you will never be at a


    disadvantage. I will give you a lot of pleasure as I enjoy making love to your warm and beautiful body


    .We can have a lot of fun together." he almost said like a whisper.


    She should feel angry because of what he said but instead, her body reacted. Nick is almost


    seeding in seducing her so she has to stop him before she can no longer fight what she feels for


    him. She is angrier with herself than with him. This should end right now.


    "Mr.Alcantara, I think it will be impossible to have a working rtionship with you. So I quit! " she said


    with a firm tone.


    She stood up to walk to the door but she halted when he spoke again. " So you finally surrender? I


    guess I was right all along. You can''t resist me so you think the best option is resigning."


    She turned around to face him. He has a devilish grin on his handsome face as he leans on his chair.


    He is intensely looking at her.


    "And what if I may ask, do you mean by that, sir?" she asked through clenched teeth.


    He shrugged his shoulders. "I turn you on but you keep on fighting how you really feel for me because


    ording to you, you have a boyfriend already. But Miss Ledesma, if you feel that I will make you


    happier, then break up with him. Don''t fight what your body desires. Be mine. Leave him for me. I will


    take good care of you." he said in a voice which sounded serious and sincere.


    Her heart beat faster and her palms became sweaty.


    Damn this Nick Alcantara! He is a walking temptation! She thought.


    She has to muster all the remaining control she has. She narrowed her eyes as she holds the stare.


    "Are you really like that? You don''t really care even if the woman is with someone else already?" she


    said with a clipped tone.


    "If the woman is you then the answer is yes." he said while his eyes glinted. "I think your boyfriend


    doesn''t know how to take care of you. He doesn''t deserve you. If you were mine, I won''t let other men


    go near you. And if I see you talking to any male who is interested in you, I would beat the daylights out


    of him. And after I am done with him.. I will deal with you. I will show you who you belong to...in many


    ways...painful... at the same time ..pleasurable..." he said as if a threat but it came out like a drawl.


    She stopped herself from balling her hands on her sides. Nick is sweeping her off her feet with his


    words. She has to act like she is as cool as a cucumber though her heart is racing. She inhaled deeply


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    and released the air slowly.


    Well, two can y this game! She thought.


    She crossed her arms on her chest, making sure that her bracelet is visible as she tilted her head to


    the right a little. She made her eyes smoky as she narrowed them a little.


    He looked at her right wrist then up her face again.


    Without waiting for him to ask, she said," It''s from my boyfriend."


    He then rose from his chair. His naughty smile is still visible. He is now slowly walking towards her as if


    he has all the time in the world. She didn''t move from her ce. She doesn''t want him to have the


    impression that he greatly affects her. She knows deep inside she can still control what she is feeling.


    He was several inches from her when he stopped advancing.


    " I can give you more...much more...and I am not only talking about material things. I know that you are


    not the type of woman who can be bought so among other things, I am offering you myself." he said as


    his eyes slowly travel from her wrist, up her neck and then her lovely face.


    He is not smiling now but an odd expression crossed his face when he met her eyes.


    "Just give me a chance and I will let you get to know the real Nick Alcantara." he said seriously.


    Okay..let the game begin.. she thought while still trying to look poker-face.


    "How would I know if you are really serious and you mean what you say? I will be risking a lot if I break


    up with my boyfriend."she said.


    A smile crossed his handsome face again. "Just try me." he said.


    She can''t hold the eye contact any longer. His stare is very intense. She turned away from him to


    moved near the window. She can see the traffic below.


    Here goes...She told herself. She heaved a sigh.


    " I love my boyfriend Mr. Alcantara...but a part of me wants to try what you are offering." she said


    before slowly turning her body so their eyes can meet again.


    She swallowed when she saw how he is looking at her. It is more intense. His hunger and desire for her


    are visible in his eyes.


    "What exactly do you mean by that? Please enlighten me more Miss Ledesma.." he said , his eyes are


    now on her lips.


    She let more air in her lungs before tilting her head to the right without removing her eyes from him.


    Nick is very possessive and she hopes that reverse psychology would do its trick.


    "If it''s okay with you to share me with my boyfriend, I will give you a chance to prove that you are better


    than him....then I will decide who I will choose between the two of you." she said.


    She swallowed a smile. There is no way that the high and mighty PTEF will want a woman to be his


    when she is still with another man. Nick Alcantara doesn''t share.


    (After half an hour)


    She looked around his private office after organizing her desk. For a man with a lot of money, his room


    is very simple. He doesn''t have any pictures of his family which made her wonder why. Then she heard


    her phone. Derick is calling. She might still be a little annoyed with him but she can''t hide the fact that


    she always misses him.


    "Derick?"


    "Honey. Good morning." he greeted in that croaky voice of his.


    She is now wondering whether he really sounds this way or not. There are many things he wants to


    hide from her, his looks and probably even his natural voice. What a very mysterious man he is!


    She just sighed.


    Well that''s one of the things she liked about him anyway. Besides, ording to him she just has to wait


    for probably a few more weeks then she will finally see him. That made her smile a little.


    "I missed you." she said a little huskily .


    She feels happy when she''s with him or just by talking with him.


    "Really honey?" he asked.


    "Yes. I do. I always miss you. And I want you to know that I am wearing the bracelet today." she told


    him.


    "That''s good."


    She frowned. There''s something different about him. He doesn''t sound happy talking to her.


    "Derick? Is anything wrong?" she asked worriedly.


    "Thank you for the trust Derick." she said huskily.


    "I can''t wait for Friday honey..." he said in his throaty voice.


    "Me too."


    Feeling happy and excited, she said goodbye to him.


    ***


    She was still daydreaming about Derick when the door was flung open. Her monster boss finally came


    back. He has a stony expression. He mmed the door after him. She almost shook her head in


    disapproval but it''s his door so he is free to break it if he wished to.


    She was pretending to be busy sketching something when she heard him say, " I thought about what


    you said a while ago."


    She raised her face to look at him. He is standing beside her. She didn''t speak as she stares at him.


    She has her fingers crossed under the table. She is praying silently that he would say no. Her


    rtionship with Derick is alreadyplicated and it will be moreplicated if Nick will not leave her


    alone.


    She gasped when all of a sudden he grabbed her wrist and pulled her up .. then his lips went down to


    hers. The kisspletely caught her off guard. Now Nick started to nip her upper lip then her bottom


    one which is sending a thousand of voltages in her body. Her hands moved to their own ord . One


    of them came up to the side of his face and the other one went to his left bicep. He , on one hand has


    his arms around her to support her back as he deepens the kiss.


    His tongue is in battle with hers. They have their eyes closed as they do their French kiss. They are


    moaning.


    She opened her eyes when she heard someone gasped.


    "OH MY GOD!" a female voice eximed.

 Chapter 38

    Chapter 38


    (Nick)


    He frowned in disbelief. He would probably go violent if he wasn''t Derick too.


    Did she just suggest that me as Nick be her other man? He angrily thought.


    He came closer to her. "Are you serious?" he asked, shock evident in his tone.


    "Yes. At this point I can''t leave my boyfriend for you. So think carefully about it sir. I will just be outside.


    " Stacey said before walking out.


    After she left, still in shock, he went back to his chair.


    FUCKING HELL! Could she really do that? Have two boyfriends? Fortunately the other boyfriend she


    was talking about is also me but what if we are already officially together minus Derick, will she go out


    with other men? Why did she suggest such a stupid thing?! He asked himself furiously.


    He thought he knew her but it seems like he doesn''t.


    "SHIT!!!"


    He got the paper weight on the table which his mother had given him and threw it angrily. It hit the wall


    and shattered. He grabbed some of his hair and cursed repeatedly out of outrage.


    Then he heard knocks . He sighed heavily and just waited for the door to open.


    "Sir, the maintenance is here." Cherry said.


    " Just tell them to move the desk now and inform Miss Ledesma that I expect her to be here inside


    when I get back!" he said before rising from his chair. He needs to go out to clear his head.


    (Stacey)


    She was getting her stuff from the table when she saw Nick stormed out of his office. He has a grim


    expression. He didn''t even look at her.


    Uh-oh..someone is in a very bad mood. She thought.


    She swallowed a smile. There is no way that the high and mighty PTEF will want a woman to be his


    when she is still with another man. Nick Alcantara doesn''t share.


    (After half an hour)


    She looked around his private office after organizing her desk. For a man with a lot of money, his room


    is very simple. He doesn''t have any pictures of his family which made her wonder why. Then she heard


    her phone. Derick is calling. She might still be a little annoyed with him but she can''t hide the fact that


    she always misses him.


    "Derick?"


    "Honey. Good morning." he greeted in that croaky voice of his.


    She is now wondering whether he really sounds this way or not. There are many things he wants to


    hide from her, his looks and probably even his natural voice. What a very mysterious man he is!


    She just sighed.


    Well that''s one of the things she liked about him anyway. Besides, ording to him she just has to wait


    for probably a few more weeks then she will finally see him. That made her smile a little.


    "I missed you." she said a little huskily .


    She feels happy when she''s with him or just by talking with him.


    "Really honey?" he asked.


    "Yes. I do. I always miss you. And I want you to know that I am wearing the bracelet today." she told


    him.


    "That''s good."


    She frowned. There''s something different about him. He doesn''t sound happy talking to her.


    "Derick? Is anything wrong?" she asked worriedly.


    (Nick)


    He is a bit pissed and confused. He can''t forget what she said that she will give him, as Nick a chance


    though she loves Derick. He doesn''t know if she meant that. She never told him as Derick that she


    loves him.


    This whole situation which he himself created is driving him mad. He epts that it''s all his fault but he


    can''t totally me himself for wanting to test her if she will really like him as Derick. She''s the perfect


    woman for him. Beautiful, sexy, independent, honest, unpredictable and sometimes feisty too.


    He admits that he is egotistical. He is aware that he is irresistible to women so when she said that she


    is not attracted to him physically, it hurt his ego big time. And where did that lead him? He is now


    He hates to think that all his hard work and ns will go down the drain if he will let his emotions


    control him again. He has gone this far as Derick, so he should end this the right way. He needs


    patience.


    "No, nothing''s wrong honey. I am just tired . I slept reallytest night."


    He heard her sighed. "Please take care of yourself okay?" she said.


    He smiled. He likes what she said just like everything about her. He better ask her questions about her


    "boss" . She is more honest to Derick than to Nick anyway.


    "I forgot to askst night honey, isn''t your boss making pass at you?" he asked her.


    (Stacey)


    She didn''t expect his question. She moistened her lips.


    Should I tell him?--she asked herself.


    "Honey?" he sounded impatient.


    "Derick, please don''t be mad..."


    There was silence for a few moments.


    "Tell me everything honey." he finally said.


    She took a deep breath. "He wants to woo me so I told him that I already have a boyfriend. I wore the


    bracelet you gave me hoping that he''ll get the message that I am no longer free."


    She feels relieved after telling him that . He is going to be her boyfriend anyway so she wants to be


    honest with him. She will surprise him on Friday. She will say yes to him.


    "And??" he asked.


    She stood up and walked near the window.


    "H-He said he will still pursue me but don''t worry Derick , I will do my best to avoid him. "


    Nick clenched his hands which are on the steering wheel. He drove to the nearest coffee shop to do


    some thinking. Now he is inside his car which is parked in the basement parking.

    "Why don''t you just quit? "


    "I can''t right now but eventually I will resign. Please don''t worry, Derick. I can take care of myself." she


    assured him.


    It''s not yet the right time to tell him the real reason why she agreed to work for Nick Alcantara. She


    heard him sighed.


    "Okay honey, I trust you. I am just a call away in case you need me." he said which made her smile.


    He really makes me feel giddy most of the time! He does care for me! She thought.


    She is excited to meet him on Friday. He is going to be happy with her decision. She can''t wait to be his


    real girlfriend.


    Then she realized something..she is beginning to fall for him.


    She is physically attracted to Nick but what she feels for Derick is deeper though she hasn''t seen his


    face yet. And since he is her first lover, she would choose to be with him than with Nick.


    "Thank you for the trust Derick." she said huskily.


    "I can''t wait for Friday honey..." he said in his throaty voice.


    "Me too."


    Feeling happy and excited, she said goodbye to him.


    ***


    She was still daydreaming about Derick when the door was flung open. Her monster boss finally came


    back. He has a stony expression. He mmed the door after him. She almost shook her head in


    disapproval but it''s his door so he is free to break it if he wished to.


    She was pretending to be busy sketching something when she heard him say, " I thought about what


    you said a while ago."


    She raised her face to look at him. He is standing beside her. She didn''t speak as she stares at him.


    She has her fingers crossed under the table. She is praying silently that he would say no. Her


    rtionship with Derick is alreadyplicated and it will be moreplicated if Nick will not leave her


    alone.


    She gasped when all of a sudden he grabbed her wrist and pulled her up .. then his lips went down to


    hers. The kisspletely caught her off guard. Now Nick started to nip her upper lip then her bottom


    one which is sending a thousand of voltages in her body. Her hands moved to their own ord . One


    of them came up to the side of his face and the other one went to his left bicep. He , on one hand has


    his arms around her to support her back as he deepens the kiss.


    His tongue is in battle with hers. They have their eyes closed as they do their French kiss. They are


    moaning.


    She opened her eyes when she heard someone gasped.


    "OH MY GOD!" a female voice eximed.

 Chapter 39

    Chapter 39


    (Stacey)


    She ended the kiss and pushed Nick away.


    "BABE!!" the female''s irritated voice called.


    Standing near the door is Nick''s datest night. She is ring at them.


    "WHAT THE...???" Nick angrily muttered as he turned around to look at the female. "TANYA?! WHAT


    ARE YOU DOING HERE??!"His voice vibrated in the room.


    How could she forget that he had a date with this femalest night? She feels so stupid for letting him


    kiss her again which, unfortunately, she enjoyed. And it''s humiliating that she saw them kissing. Tanya


    is glowering at her and her eyes seem to be telling her, He is mine bitch!


    She feels ashamed and slightly annoyed at the same time. She took her bag on the table and just want


    to escape this awkward moment. She was about to go outside but Nick took hold of her arm to stop


    her.


    "No! You stay here!" hemanded.


    "Sir.." she protested.


    "You call him sir but you kiss him in his office? DUH??" Tanya sarcastically asked.


    She bit her lower lip and just lowered her eyes. She probably looks abashed because the woman has a


    point.


    Nick sighed heavily. He pulled her to his side as he firmly holds her forearm.


    "I asked you why you are here! "


    "Babe! You didn''t go back to the restaurantst night! I was trying to call you but you weren''t picking up!


    " Tanyained.


    "Why wait for me? I didn''t say anything abouting back!" Nick said in a clipped voice.


    She is really feeling ufortable hearing their conversation. "Sir, please let me go out." she begged.


    Nick looked at her and probably realized that she is really uneasy .But before letting go of her arm he


    said, "Okay but don''t leave the building! This won''t take long! We have to talk about us!" he said coldly.


    "Oh please!!!" Tanya said as she rolls her eyes.


    She chewed her bottom lip. She just nodded and almost let out a sigh when Nick finally released her.


    Cherry was right outside and she pulled her away from Nick''s closed door.


    " What happened? Did that bitch throw you out? She is really too much! She acts like she owns sir


    Nick!" she hissed.


    She just released a small smile to her. " I''ll just go downstairs to get a cup of coffee. If sir Nick asked


    about me, please tell him that I''ll be back very soon." she intentionally avoided making ament


    about what the secretary said.


    Cherry just nodded while looking at her with sympathy.


    She took a deep breath when she stepped out of the building. The day is gloomy just like how she is


    feeling. She hugged herself for a few moments then started walking. She has no destination in mind.


    She needs this time alone away from Nick. She is disgusted with herself for being weak again. There is


    no denying that he is an excellent kisser and it wasn''t the first time he kissed her but it was more


    intense this time.


    If only Derick would kiss me on the lips, maybe I won''t enjoy Nick''s kisses! she thought.


    And to make matters worse, his datest night saw everything and heard their moans. She groaned


    with that thought. Nick even told her that they will talk about them which Tanya heard clearly. His


    bluntness is unbing to a boss.


    She saw a coffee shop nearby so she went inside to kill time. She chose a table in the corner. She''s


    undecided whether to go back to the office or not. She sat and her hand went to her lip which were


    nipped by her boss'' teeth a few moments ago. She was saved from thinking about him and the kiss


    again when the waitress came to get her order.


    When the server left, her cell phone started making a noise. She thought of just ignoring it in case her


    boss is calling because thest thing she wants right now is to talk to him. Unfortunately, it continued


    ringing so she had no choice but to get it from her bag. She sighed in relief. Her caller is Eve.


    "Hey! What happenedst night?" her friend asked, her voice is a bit shrill.


    Her forehead creased a little. She is a bit confused with her question. "Last night?"


    " ke got home veryte and he looked murderous. Apparently, someone shed the tires of his big


    bike. He told me yesterday afternoon that he was going to see you. Weren''t you together?"


    Her frown deepened. She remembered the two guys she saw looking at his motorcycle when Nick was


    angrily dragging herst night.


    Is it possible that he paid those men to do that to ke''s tires? She asked herself.


    Well she knows she has no proof but Nick Alcantara is capable of doing anything and everything.


    Because of his jealousy, he almost hit ke.


    "We were together but I left with my boss because he wanted to talk to me so ke didn''t take me


    home .." she exined.


    " Well that probably added to his anger more. He really wanted to be with youst night and talk to you


    about something. " Eve revealed.


    She pouted. " About what ?'' she asked.


    Eve sighed. " You better ask him next time you meet. It shoulde from him, not from me. I am sure


    that he will contact you or see you again very soon."


    ***


    "Leave us alone! Am I making myself clear Tanya?" Nick said through clenched teeth.


    Tanya didn''t answer. Her lips are set in a thin line. She can''t ept that Nick is serious about Stacey.


    Nick''s women before didn''t bother her because she knows he will just use them once for his sexual


    pleasure. But Stacey is different. She saw him kissing her on the lips and that made her really furious.


    In her book, Nick is hers. She is his first lover and she felt that she is special to him. He let her mouth


    fuck him several times in the past. She has been patiently waiting until he tells her that he wants to fuck


    her again and now his secretary entered the scene. She won''t let Stacey get what''s hers.


    "TANYA!!" Nick''s thunderous voice echoed in his office.


    "Last time I checked, you haven''t kissed anyone on the mouth...but why the hell were you kissing her


    on the lips?! " she asked in a very cold voice.


    Nick angrily rubbed his face with his right hand before releasing an exasperated sigh.


    "That is none of your business! You are not my girlfriend so stop acting like one!"


    When Tanya realized how angry he is, her faced softened. She came to him and touched his forearm.


    "Babe, I''m sorry. I was just shocked when I saw you kissing her. Babe, please tell me that you are nor


    serious about her. She is just one of them, isn''t she? It''s me you want and need.. " she said and her


    lips quivered a little.


    Nick frowned.


    "I haven''t given you the impression that I want to have any kind of rtionship with you again. What we


    had was pure sex Tanya. If I let you do oral sex to me in the past that''s because that was what you


    wanted. Must I remind you that you were very persistent? So you don''t even have a say in my life or in


    what I want or need. Besides, we are not even friends." he bluntly said.


    "But if you will just let me, I can make you happy babe. I will satisfy you in bed. Just give me a chance.


    And I told you before that I don''t mind if you want to fuck other women as long as I know you are mine.


    I am even willing to do a threesome with you and any woman you want. I promise babe, I will make you


    happy in and out of bed." she said huskily.


    Nick shook his head then removed her hands on his arm.


    "Just leave Tanya." he said as he walks towards the door to open it.


    Tanya''s face hardened again. Her eyes are spitting fire.


    "She is just probably taking advantage of you! She knows who you are! For all we know she is a gold-


    digger! She was with another guyst night for crying out loud! I talked to the guy and although he


    didn''t directly say it, I think that if they are not yet a couple, they will soon be! How could you want


    someone like her? "


    Tanya felt frustratedst night because she tried to seduce ke but he firmly said he wasn''t


    interested. She even offered to give him a lift after what happened to his big bike but he refused. It


    really seems that he is faithful to Stacey.


    "You don''t know Stacey so don''t even say such things. Just go Tanya or do you want me to escort you


    to the elevator?" Nick asked coldly. He opened the door wider.


    Tanya looked daggers at him but walked towards the door. Before she got out, she touched the side of


    his face. Her expression had softened again as she seductively smiles at him.


    "Okay babe.I will let you y with her for a while. Sooner orter, you will realize that we are meant to


    be together." she said huskily.


    (STACEY)


    She was heading back to the office when she saw Tanya went out of the building. She wanted to go the


    other way to avoid her but unfortunately she saw her. It''s difficult to read the woman''s expression as


    she walks to her. She was glued to her spot and just watched her as shees near her. Her eyes are


    unreadable but they have a certain glint. Her face is emotionless.


    "Don''t even think Nick is serious about you. Call me crazy but I just let him fuck other women because I


    know how high his sexual appetite is. Sadly, I can''t be with him all the time so he has to have other


    women for his sexual release. What''s important is, he alwayses back to me . So just a word of


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    warning, don''t fall for him okay?" she said in a calm voice. She leaned closer to her right ear.


    "I will tell you a secret...Nick only fucks a woman once...then it''s goodbye.. He just wants a taste of you


    so don''t think that you are special. After he fucked you once, sayonara to you my dear ." she added.


    Tanya even tapped her shoulder lightly before walking away.She just stood there while watching the


    other woman''s back...

 Chapter 40

    Chapter 40


    (STACEY)


    She could hardly remember what happened after her encounter with Tanya. She just realized that she


    is in her car when her cell phone started ringing. Nick''s number is shing. She ignored the call and


    instead, she maneuvered her car out of the basement parking. She wants to get away from him today


    and she doesn''t care if he fires her for leaving the office. She will go back to work tomorrow. She has


    no idea where to go so she called Eve.


    (At Eve''s ce)


    "Are you really sure you want to drink?" her friend asked as she opens a bottle of vodka.


    "Yeah. Anyway we''ll just stay here so it''s fine." she answered.


    Eve shrugged her shoulders. "Okay. Maybe it''s better if you get into something morefortable. Wait,


    let me get a top and skirt for you. "


    She just nodded. She doesn''t really drink but she wants to blow off steam after what happened at her


    boss'' office and what Tanya said to her. It is very painful for her to discover Nick''s real intention to think


    that she was sort of cheating on Derick with him.


    Eve gave her a white sleeveless body fit shirt and a short ck skirt. She stood up from the carpet to


    change in the bathroom. Eve is on the couch pouring some alcohol in a ss when she got back. She


    carelessly sat on the sofa too. She grabbed one throw pillow to cover her thighs because the skirt is


    way too short for her. She put it on herp.


    Eve gave her the ss with vodka. "Now tell me what''s wrong."


    She didn''t respond immediately. She drank the booze and when she finished it off, she leaned forward


    to get the bottle to put some more in her empty ss. She drank two half-filled sses before


    munching on some chips.


    Her friend''s left brow arched. " Geez girlfriend! I guess whatever is bothering you is something serious!"


    She sighed then poured some more vodka in her ss. Maybe after another ss, she would be able


    to open up to her.


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    "But you know what? There is something I noticed just now girlfriend."


    She took a sip before turning to her."What?"


    "If I didn''t know you well, I would think that you already have a boyfriend." Eve''s eyes are narrowed.


    She is looking at her with an odd expression.


    It was her turn to raise a brow before gulping some booze again. " What are you talking about?" she


    asked with a lightugh.


    "Hey! Take it easy on the alcohol! We are not going anywhere so there''s no rush! I don''t want you


    passing out on me. We have some talking to do."


    "Okay. Sorry." she apologized with a giggle. She feels a little light-headed already.


    "Your boobs seem to be bigger and your eyes don''t look innocent unlike before. Did you have sex


    already?" Eve asked.


    She frowned. She didn''t see that questioning. Then maybe due to the effect of the alcohol, she


    just tittered continuously. And to her friend''s surprise, she startedughing. Sheughed andughed


    until she felt her sides are gonna split fromughter.


    Eve''s just sat quietly while looking at her. She has a slight frown. When she finally stoppedughing,


    she wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand.


    "Why do I have a feeling that you are hiding things from me. That is so unlike you. " Eve pursed her lips


    disapprovingly.


    "Don''t worry . One of these days I will confide something to you but not tonight. I just want to rx and


    drink. " she smiled then filled her ss again with the alcohol.


    The door bell rang so Eve rose from the sofa to check who is at the door .


    She swirled the liquid in her ss and was about to take a gulp again when she heard a man''s voice.


    "Miss Hotness?"


    She raised her eyes to the newer. Her smile widened as she looks at ke''s good-looking face.


    His brows are knitted.


    "ke!" she called him huskily.


    He sat next to her. He got the bottle of vodka and her ss from her. She tried to reach for them and


    her breasts identally came in contact with his left arm. Eve rolled her eyes when she saw ke''s


    reaction. She was about to say something but her fiance, Lance is calling her on the phone.


    Before going to her room to take the call she said to her cousin, " Don''t take advantage ke! She is


    drunk!" She then proceeded to her bedroom, leaving them.


    "ke! Give those back!" she tried to get the bottle and ss from him.


    The throw pillow on herp fell and her thighs were exposed. ke''s eyes went to them. She didn''t see


    the expression which crossed his face. After a second or two, he picked up the pillow from the carpet


    and covered herp with it again.


    Since she feels that he won''t give her the booze , she just leaned her back on the sofa while she looks


    at him with smoky eyes.


    "How long have you been drinking? You are almost roaring drunk! " he said with a clipped tone.


    She shook her head and moistened her lips. She raised her hand to tuck some hair behind her ear in a


    .


    "God Stacey! What are you doing to yourself?" ke asked her.He is staring at her pretty face.


    She tried to focus her eyes to look at him. " Nothing. Is it a crime to drink ?" she asked innocently. She


    was slurring her words.


    "Are you drinking because of your boss? Did he do anything to youst night?! Where did he take you?


    I wanted to follow you but some assholes shed my tires!" he said angrily.


    "Sorry to hear that." she just said. Her voice sounds breathy.


    ke just let out a heavy sigh. She looked at his handsome face. Her eyes went to his left bicep . She


    had a sudden urge to run her fingers on his tattoo.


    She pouted her lips. "ke? Why did you ask me outst night?"


    He tore his eyes from her face. He poured some booze in the ss then gulped it down.


    "ke?" she touched his arm.


    He put some more of the vodka when he drank everything in the ss. "Did Eve say anything to you?"


    he asked without looking at her.


    "No, she didn''t. What is it?" she asked. She tried to reach for the vodka again. "Please give me one


    more shot."


    ke turned to her. She blinked twice. He is probably right that she is already blind drunk. They are


    only inches apart now. And she has this feeling of wanting to prove to herself that Nick''s kiss will have


    the same effect on her as ke''s. Her lips are parted and ke is looking at them. She can smell his


    warm and pleasant breath.


    "Stacey..." he murmured. He removed his eyes on her lips.


    She bit her bottom lip while their eyes are locked on each other. Then ke''s face started to move


    towards her. She just closed her eyes to wait for the kiss.


    "BLAKE!!" came Eve''s shrill voice.


    He cursed then he rose from the sofa. He raked his fingers through his hair.


    She felt Eve grabbed her arm to pull her up. "Eve..!" sheined.


    "What were you doing?!" her friend asked in a displeased voice before sitting her down on the single


    sofa opposite the other couch. "You stay there!" she added.


    Stacey leaned her back and head and closed her eyes. She feels a little dizzy.


    Eve walked to ke who went back to the longer sofa. He is drinking some of the booze. He has a


    slight frown on his handsome face.


    "What was that all about ?! " she asked her cousin.


    "Just chill . Nothing happened." ke said.


    "You were taking advantage of her!"


    ke looked at her with his eyes narrowed.


    "You know that I will not do such a thing." he said. His voice sounded serious.


    Eve rolled her eyes and made an ugly sound at the back of her throat. Then her forehead creased.


    "What''s that sound? Can''t you hear it?" she asked as she looks around the room. She turned to


    Stacey.


    "Girlfriend! Where''s your bag?" she asked.


    Stacey opened her eyes and she pointed to the table in the small kitchen. She leaned her head again


    and shut her eyes. She touched her temples. Then she heard Eve''s voice again.


    "Here! Your phone''s been ringing! Answer it! " she told her before she asked ke to open another


    bottle of vodka.


    She got her cellphone and sat straight. "I want some. " she said to ke but he ignored her.


    "Please ke.." she requested in a breathy voice.


    "No! You had more than enough!" he said in a brusque tone.


    "Better answer your phone girlfriend!" Eve told her. She went to the kitchen to get more ice.


    Stacey stood up and covered the short distance between the two couches. She sat next to ke again.


    She touched his arm and huskily said, " Just a little, please."


    He just shook his head. " Answer your phone!" he said in a chilly voice.


    She sighed and leaned the side of her head on his shoulder. Without looking at the caller, she pushed


    the ept button.


    "STACEY! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" came her boss'' pissed voice.


    Nick is breathing heavily. He had been calling her since he found out that she left the building.


    ording to Cherry, she will just get coffee ande back immediately.


    Stacey straightened and frowned. She turned down the volume a bit. Nick is almost yelling at her.


    ke turned to look at her.


    "You don''t need to shout! I can hear you clearly. " She slurred .


    There was silence then she heard that he is breathing heavily. "Are you drunk?! Where are you?" Nick


    asked angrily.


    "Who are you talking to? Are you okay?" ke asked her with a frown and she looked at him and


    nodded.


    "Stacey! Who is that? Where the hell are you?" her boss asked. He seems to have his teeth clenched.


    She sighed heavily. She is angry with him and she wants to piss him off too. Her image of him is a


    straight talker who always shoots from the hip but why did he y with her feelings? How dare he do


    that? He should have just told her directly that he only wants sex instead of saying pack of lies just to


    bed her once.


    "DAMMIT STACEY!" he cursed when she didn''t answer him.


    Maybe because of the effect of the alcohol and her feeling of anger and disgust towards him, she said,


    "I am with my boyfriend so stop calling me. I will go back to work tomorrow!"


    She hang up on him before he could retort.


    Nick saw red with what she said.


    Boyfriend? Who the fuck ..?? he angrily asked himself.


    "FUCKING HELL!" he cursed furiously.

    Chapter 41


    "Boyfriend?" asked ke with an arched brow . He chuckled before drinking vodka again.


    "If I didn''t say that, he won''t stop pestering me." Stacey saidughing lightly.


    He turned to look at her again. "Was that your boss?"


    She sighed before nodding. "Let''s not talk about him. If you won''t give me some more alcohol, I will go


    to a bar with Eve so we can continue drinking." she said with a pout.


    "I heard that!" Eve said. She yfully pped ke''s left arm so he could move over before she sat


    between them. She didn''t want them too close.


    She groaned and rolled her eyes while ke just shook his head.


    "This couch is for more than three people so we can all sitfortably. If anyone feels cramped, then


    move to the other sofa." her friend said with a dry tone before putting alcohol in a ss.


    Then her phone started ringing again.


    "Another caller? Talk to whoever that is then turn off your phone!" Eve suggested.


    Frowning, she looked at the screen. As expected, it''s her pervert boss again. She was thinking of


    rejecting the call but then she changed her mind.


    "Okay, I will take it in your room. Excuse me!" she told them but she quickly grabbed Eve''s ss and


    drank the booze.


    "STACEY!" The cousins eximed in unison.


    "I needed that to have courage to tell this caller who is my condescending boss what I think of him so


    he will leave me alone then we can drink in peace. " she told them then giggled.


    She blew ke a kiss while she winked at Eve.


    ***


    She leaned on the closed door to steady herself. She feels a little dizzy from alcohol. She cleared her


    throat before epting the call.


    "Hello." she huskily answered.


    For five seconds or so , she didn''t hear Nick say anything. She knows that he''s at the other end


    because she can hear his shallow breathing. She can imagine him looking murderous. Like a bull ready


    for a bullfight. She grinned. Knowing that he is really pissed gave her a certain kind of high.


    "I don''t know what game you are ying Stacey..but I don''t like it." he said chillingly.


    She has to give it to him that he sounds calmer even if she knows how mad and jealous he is. He is not


    yelling now which is a good thing.


    "Have you been to your shrinktely?" she asked while swallowing a giggle.


    At this point, she has to thank the vodka she drunk. It is really helping her to be gutsy as she talks to


    her condescending and bipr boss.


    "What does that supposed to mean?" Now his voice sounds menacing which made her straighten her


    back.


    He doesn''t scare me! Her more than tipsy mind thought.


    Come to think of it, she can provoke him now because they are just on the phone. He can''t do anything


    to her. But of course, talking to him this way face to face is a different story..


    "I think you forgot to take your medication for your bipr disorder. Your mood swings are really


    confusing me." she said calmly but her words are slurred. "But don''t get me wrong, I prefer the way you


    talk to me now though your voice can freeze a volcano. It''s much better than you yelling at me like you


    did a while ago."


    She heard him exhaled heavily. He seems to be controlling blowing up at her again.


    "Where are you Stacey? Give me your exact location now!" he demanded. His voice is low but his


    words are steely.


    Nick is more than sure that she has been drinking because she has been slurring her words. He''s


    trying to hold his temper at the moment. He wants her to give him the exact address of where she is


    right now.


    Stacey''s eyes became like slits. "You really are the bossiest man I have ever met! I am surprised that


    you don''t wear your crown and royal robe because you talk and act like a king! I am not at your office


    so don''t give me orders!" she angrily said.


    "Don''t make mee for you honey." he said in a dangerous voice.


    "Stop calling me honey! Only my boyfriend calls me that! " she yelled.


    How dare he use Derick''s endearment for her? She doesn''t want this sex starved Casanova calling her


    that.She didn''t hear any reaction from him for a few seconds but when he spoke, she realized that


    maybe she has gone too far in pissing him.


    "Your boyfriend? The one you are with right now?" his tone sounds really frightening which made her


    feel that that the alcohol suddenly lost its effect.


    She started to pace Eve''s room as she talks to calm her nerves a little. "I told you I will go back to work


    tomorrow. I have to go now and please stop calling me." she said and hang up.


    ***


    "What did your high-handed boss has to say this time?" asked ke .


    She just made a face at him before reaching for the bag of potato chips. She walked to the kitchen.


    She is sure that they won''t give her more vodka so she will check if there''s chilled beer. She smiled


    when she saw five cans.


    "Looks like your boss has the hots for you girlfriend!" Eve joked but she chose not toment.


    "Please say thanks to Lance! I''ll get two of his beer." she said.


    She opened one before going back to the living room. She saw ke''s disapproving look.


    "Why are you so grumpy?" She asked him with a slight frown.


    Eve sighed . "As if you need to ask." She shot her cousin a nce.


    "Stop that! You are like my boss when you act like that.." she joked to make the situation lighter.


    He stood up angrily, "NEVER COMPARE ME TO YOUR WACKO EMPLOYER!" he rasped before


    walking out.


    She gaped in shock while Eve just shook her head.


    "What happened to him? " she asked.


    Eve just raised her left brow at her. "You are really clueless aren''t you girlfriend?"


    "Huh?" she looked at her friend with a puzzled expression.


    "Oh forget it! Come on let''s just continue drinking! My cousin will get over it!"


    Instead of her opening up to Eve, they just talked about the past . She decided not to tell her about


    Nick and Derick yet. Eve talked about her boyfriend before Lance. The family of her ex didn''t want her


    for their son and sadly, he chose his family over her. Her friend was heartbroken because Tom was her


    first love.


    After over an hour, she had to help Eve to her bedroom because she could hardly walk after finishing


    one bottle of vodka. Seems like her friend hasn''t totally gotten over her first heartbreak. She sighed as


    she looks at her. She turned off the lights before closing the door quietly.


    She''s still a little tipsy so she decided to take a nap on the sofa for an hour or so. She can''t drive in this


    state. But before lying down, she checked her phone.


    Nick sent her a message an hour ago. She frowned after reading it.


    I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE HONEY.


    (Nick)


    He gritted his teeth when she hang up on him. He got fed up of getting worried and annoyed when she


    is not with him. He always wants to know where she is and where she is going. He thought of hiring


    someone to have her followed but he doesn''t like the idea of another person watching her. He should


    be the only one doing that.


    So the next best thing is a tracking device. He had it installed in her car early this morning. But he


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    reprimanded the maker and the installer because it was defective. It took a while before he could trace


    her. And when it finally worked, he doesn''t know where she is exactly. She is parked in a paid parking


    lot. He had to call someone to get information about her closest friends. ording to his informer, Eve


    Razon is Stacey''s best friend. And thanks to his connections, he found out that she is also one of the


    owners of the bar where Stacey used to sing. Her condo is right across the street where Stacey''s car is


    parked. Now he has her exact address.


    (Stacey)


    To: Nick Alcantara


    I believe you are bluffing.


    She sent the message with a smirk. She carelessly tossed her cellphone on the table. She was about


    to lie down on the couch when the door bell rang. She frowned. She knows it''s ke. He probably


    finally got over his grouchiness. He has never been chippy before so maybe a little teasing will lighten


    his mood. She grinned.


    She ruffled her hair and pinched her cheeks a little so she''ll look flushed from alcohol. She will pretend


    she has gotten more drunk. She bit her bottom lip and readied a sexy smile.


    Upon opening the door, she slowly ran her eyes from his long legs d in a pair of ck jeans up to his


    broad chest.


    "ke..." she huskily murmured his name.


    When her eyes came up to his stubble then to his face, she gasped.


    In front of her is a grim faced Nick Alcantara. His eyes are traveling maliciously from her smooth legs


    and thighs, to her t tummy, up her breasts and finally rested on her shocked but still very lovely face.


    "Is that the name of your boyfriend?" he asked in a very cold voice as he gives her a menacing


    look.

 Chapter 42

    Chapter 42


    (Stacey)


    GOSH! He looks so hot and at the same time...frightening... She thought.


    She unconsciously encircled her throat with her right hand. The way he is looking at her sends sexual


    excitement and gives her the creeps too. He is leering at her and his eyes have a certain glint in them.


    "Go away...." she mumbled, ignoring his question.


    He let out a sneering smile as his eyes touch her thighs and then her breasts.


    "You look ravishing honey but I don''t like the thought of other men seeing you wearing something like


    that...." he said through gritted teeth as his eyes met hers.


    She is positive that he is furious and very jealous. She tried to close the door but he pushed it with his


    broad shoulder.


    "Oh no you don''t honey...." he hissed as he closed the door firmly behind him.


    She was forced to move back while still holding her throat. Now she regrets provoking him on the


    phone. She forgot that he is Nick Alcantara...capable of doing everything and anything.


    "Please just go. I''m sorry for what I said on the phone." she said and her voice is trembling a little. The


    vodka had really lost it''s effect.


    She is gazing at him in awe. His presence dominates Eve''s small space. He is oozing with sex appeal


    and she is more afraid of her body''s reaction to him than his anger towards her. She slowly backs away


    while he advances towards her.


    He shook his head, "Sorry will not suffice for what you have put me through today." he said chillingly.


    She almost closed her eyes in frustration when she felt the cold wall behind her. Nick''s lips are now


    formed in a thin line. He stopped walking towards her. Their faces and bodies are now only inches


    apart. She tried to keep her eyes open as he leaned towards her. His hands are on the wall on either


    side of her. She feels trapped.


    "Nowhere to go honey..." he shed a smile which doesn''t reach his eyes.


    "Please.." she whispered.


    "Please what?" he whispered back.


    He has his face lowered while hers is raised so their eyes could meet. His lips are very near hers. She


    gasped when one of his hands pulled her to him by her waist to bring her even closer to his hard body.


    She tried to look away but he removed his hand which is wrapped around her waist to encircle her


    throat. His warm and pleasant breath fans her face which she finds arousing. Being this close to him


    gives her an intense sexual desire which she doesn''t really wee.


    He just wants my body. If I will let him fuck me once, he will leave me alone..-she thought.


    That made her a bit disgruntled. She can''t exin it..deep inside maybe she wants more than one fuck


    with Nick Alcantara. She closed her eyes in disgust with herself.


    "Let me go." she said in a firm but little voice.


    " I am afraid I can''t do that honey.." he said throatily.


    She opened her eyes. The way he said that made his voice seems familiar but then her eyes widened


    when he suddenly kissed her.


    "Mmmmpppp.." she tried to push him but of course she couldn''t budge him.


    He deepened the kiss more. He coaxed hers to separate so his tongue can prate her mouth. She


    wasn''t aware that she had stopped protesting. She now has one of her hands on his shoulder and the


    other one on his bicep.


    Nick smiled against her lips when she started responding. Her tongue is battling with his. He swirled his


    around hers. They were so caught up in their passionate kiss that they didn''t hear a door open.


    "STACEY!" someone gasped.


    She tore her lips from Nick''s and stared wide-eyed at Eve who looks really shocked. Nick then slowly


    turned his head to Eve''s direction. He removed his right hand from her neck then the other one from


    the wall. He looks a bit annoyed. His eyes are molten with his desire for her. When his face came into


    view, Eve did a double take.


    Stacey almost groaned. Nick always gets this reaction from women. She wanted to kick him when she


    saw him shed his undies-wrecking smile at her friend. And as she expected, Eve flushed and smiled


    shyly at him.


    "S-Sorry." her friend said . She looks ufortable seeing them kissing a moment ago.


    "Please don''t say sorry. I''m the one who should be apologizing . It''s all my fault. By the way I am Nick


    Alcantara." he held his hand to Eve.


    Shyly, she took it. "Hello. I''m Eve." she said awkwardly.


    "Eve.." he drawled. The way he said it will surely make any female giddy. "Nice name..it suits you. You


    are beautiful just like Adam''s Eve." he said. His lips twitched to one side which looks so sexy.


    Eve''s cheeks colored up again and Stacey rolled her eyes. She feels that her monster boss doesn''t


    have to use his charms at its maximum by saying such words which will make women swoon because


    there is really no need. His physical looks are enough.


    "He''s my boss." she butted in before moving away from him.


    She made exactly two steps away from Nick when he said to her, "Change your clothes before we


    leave... not unless you want me to smack every man who will look at you. Eve and I will wait for you


    here. "he said nonchntly.


    She stopped in her tracks but didn''t turn to look at him. She chose not to retort because she doesn''t


    want Eve to have more questions for her about Nick once they are alone. But she promised that she


    will not let Nick get away with what he said. She sulkily walked inside Eve''s room without looking at


    them.


    How dare he give Eve the impression that we have a rtionship? I wish I could hire five sumo


    wrestlers to beat him up! I will specifically tell them to smack his face multiple times and scar it


    permanently so no female will want him anymore! She angrily thought while putting on her own clothes.


    She carefully folded Eve''s top and skirt and tossed them onto theundry basket before going out of


    the bedroom. She stopped moving forward when she saw them in the kitchen. They are talking and


    away. He has a sexy grin on his face. She narrowed her eyes. This man is really something else. Even


    Eve seems to have been taken by him in a span of minutes. Her friend looks almost smitten. Moments


    ago , she was so drunk and now she looks sober as she talks to her promiscuous boss. She


    reprimanded herself because she can''t be jealous.


    They haven''t seen her yet because they appear to be having fun talking. She slowly stepped back to


    get closer to Eve''s bedroom door. She carefully opened it again and then closed it with a bang. This


    time she made sure that they hear it and sure enough, it got Eve''s attention. She turned her head to


    her and rose from the chair with a beam. She is nowing towards her.


    "Girlfriend! Nick is inviting us to go out with him soon!" she said excitedly. Her eyes are twinkling.


    Nick on the other hand looks cool. He took time in drinking his beer before he moved his head to her


    direction. He still has that grin which she badly wants to wipe from his face.


    Eve leaned forward to her to say quietly ," Gosh! You didn''t tell me that your boss is a knockout! You


    really have be so secretive!" She then stepped back again and rolled her eyes at her before


    smiling from ear to ear again.


    She just forced a smile withoutmenting. Just then she saw Nick stood from his chair too and is


    now heading towards them. Their eyes are locked on each other. He is not grinning anymore but he is


    looking intensely at her.


    "Are you ready to go?" he asked her .


    "Yes." she said, sounding short. She balled her hands on her sides when he almost cocked a brow and


    his eyes glinted. His lips twitched to one side as if he knows that she is annoyed.


    He then turned to Eve, "Next time, the three of us can hang out in one of my units near here. " he


    suggested with a sexy smile.


    "Sure! We''d love to!" Eve said excitedly.


    She probably wants to piss him too because she said out of the blue while walking to get her bag which


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    was on the kitchen table, " Sir, maybe Eve''s cousin, ke coulde too. The three of us were


    drinking before you came. He just went out to get more booze." she lied.


    She slid her phone inside her bag before turning again to look at Nick and Eve. Her friend is frowning


    slightly as her eyes are on Nick. She slowly transferred her eyes to him too. She bit her bottom lip


    when she met his icy stare. She now wished she didn''t have to say that. The mention of ke''s name


    made his lips set into a thin line. Gone is his yful mood. His aura is dark again.


    "Nice meeting you Eve but we have to go." he said to her friend without breaking eye contact with her.


    And in a very chilly voice he told her," I will wait for you in my car."


    When he left, Eve tugged at her hand. " Oh my God girlfriend! He is so damn hot! Is he the reason why


    your eyes lost their innocence? Goodness! I can''t get over the way he was looking at you!" she said


    giddily before pulling her for a hug.


    She just sighed and rolled her eyes without saying anything. Her hands are pinned on her sides while


    Eve folded her in her arms. She is giggling.


    Then she released her and moved a step back ." Now I know why you wanted to drink! Did you bicker?


    " she asked with a silly smile.


    She heaved a sigh and just shook her head. "Look Eve, it''s not what it seems despite of what you saw


    and heard him say. I will tell you everything next time. Thank you for tonight. " she said and gave her a


    peck on the cheek. " Well I am d that you are now sober after seeing my boss." she said with a


    smallugh while heading to the door.


    "Can you me me? My bikini almost fell down on the floor because your boss is sizzling hot! " she


    heard Eve said with a giggle.


    "WHATEVER!" With a shake of her head, she closed the door after her.


    ***


    Nick is leaning on a white BMW. He has a brooding expression. He straightened when he saw her. He


    opened the door of the passenger seat for her .


    " My car is parked nearby."she said.


    "Get inside! We need to talk! We''ll just get your carter! " he ordered.


    From his tone, she knows that whether she likes it or not, she should do what he said so looking none


    too pleased, she slid in. He closed the door and went over to the other side. He got in and started the


    engine before he buckled her up.


    "Where are we going? I hope this won''t take long. I want to go home! " she said in a cold voice.


    He didn''t answer. He seems to be concentrating on the road so she just sulked. They drove for about


    15 minutes in silence.


    She frowned when they entered a basement parking of a tall building.


    "Where are we?" she asked.


    He turned to look at her.


    "In one of my condo units." he said.


    "WHAT??! Why did you bring me here? I thought you just wanted to talk?" she shrieked.


    " I think we need to do more than just talking." he said while his eyes traveled from her face to her


    breasts then back to her face again. His eyes are molten and she felt her lips went dry. Nick looks


    ready to ravish her.


    " I want to do a lot of things to you and maybe our talk will have to wait..." he said before his eyes went


    to her lips.


    She swallowed.


    Are we going to fuck ? she asked herself with her eyes wide and her mouth slightly open.

 Chapter 43

    Chapter 43


    She felt her clit reacted and her nipples hardened when her mind went overtime. But again, she


    scolded herself. She is letting her physical attraction for him take over her clear mind.


    "W-What exactly do you mean?" she asked.


    "What do you think honey?"


    His expression changed suddenly so it''s difficult to know what he is thinking now. He became poker-


    faced. His eyes became guarded too. She doesn''t know if he is deliberately teasing or confusing her.


    She really should stop being gullible in moments like this with him.


    "Didn''t I tell you to stop calling me that? You are not my boyfriend sir so never call me honey!" she


    snapped before unbuckling her seat belt.


    Nick''s face lightened when he saw that she is annoyed. He grinned and with his index finger, he rubbed


    his chin which is covered by his sexy stubble . His eyes went to her breasts and they became darker


    again. She had the sudden desire to cross her arms to hide them. She is worried that he can sense


    that her nipples hardened under her bra and top. He really affects her sexually.


    Finally, he raised his stare to her lovely face for a second or two before turning off the engine.


    "Time to go up to my unit honey. I realized just now that we should probably talk first because I want to


    discuss many things with you. Other things could wait. We have plenty of time for them.. " he said.


    It sounded like a threat to her but she just sighed heavily when he slid out of the car. Without waiting for


    him to open the door for her, she got out too. He has a naughty smile on his lips as he went around to


    go to her and her lips formed a thin line while she res at him. When he was about to reach for her


    arm, she moved away. His smile disappeared and his eyes became steely. He didn''t like that of course.


    She almost jutted her chin. "I can walk . Just lead the way." she told him while avoiding his eyes.


    She didn''t want him to touch any part of her body because she can''t trust herself not to react. He


    nipples had be sensitive mainly because of him. With a stiff back, he headed to the elevator and


    she couldn''t help shaking her head.


    He is in a foul mood again. Thanks to me and good luck to me too. She told herself.


    She has to do her best not to have any physical contact with him. Her body always betrays her even


    just by looking at him. It''s even worse when he touches or kisses her. She moistened her lips because


    now, she has a full view of his sexy backside.


    When the elevator opened, Nick turned his head to her and nodded . He wants her to get in before him.


    He pressed the 12th floor when they got inside and they just rode in silence. She sneaked a nce at


    him. Even with his suit on, he really has a body that makes women crazy. Physically, he is a total


    package. Thoughts of Derick entered her mind. Since she hasn''t seen Nick''s torso before, she couldn''t


    help imagining if it looks like Derick''s. She had touched thetter''s chiseled body and she liked how


    hard it felt. She stifled a sigh. He probably looks good as Nick in a suit too. She doesn''t want to


    Derick to be as good-looking as him. She has to remind herself that what she likes about Derick is


    more than physical.


    Sadly, since it''s a bit hard not to fantasize about her boss, especially at this moment, she is allowing


    herself do it until Friday. She promised herself that once she bes Derick''s girlfriend, it will be


    goodbye Nick. She decided to just enjoy this for now. Anyway, it''s not every day that an ordinary


    woman like her get to spend time with Nick Alcantara.


    And since she is not yet officially with Derick, this couldn''t be considered as cheating. She bit her


    bottom lip because a part of her doesn''t agree. Then she remembered their past conversation.


    "Okay honey. I will wait but I hope it''s okay if I do something when I witness anything I don''t like. "


    " You will do what?"


    "Something that a man would naturally do if he feels that someone is fucking with him. "


    "Like what?"


    "Beat up good for nothing assholes."


    She pouted. Nick could probably defend himself and if he couldn''t, well.. serves him right! But then, she


    became worried about Derick when she remembered what Cherry said. She said that their boss has a


    ck belt.


    "We''re here." he said.


    Nick''s jaw muscles'' clenched. Stacey is with him but it seems that her mind is preupied with


    something or someone. He almost cursed. He told himself that once he discovered that she is thinking


    of some asshole, he will punish her. Feeling angry, he grabbed her arm.


    She was surprised when took hold of her arm and dragged her to his suit. She chose not toin


    because she knows it''ll be useless.


    ***


    The inside of his unit is very simple just like his office but it feels cozy. He opened the blinds with a


    remote control .


    "Do you want anything?" he asked.


    She didn''t reply, instead she walked to the window. It''s almost dusk and the sunset from his window is


    breathtaking. The streets lights and the lights from the vehicles and buildings below look wonderful too.


    It''s seems so rxing just watching all these with a cup of coffee after a long day .


    Without turning to look to him, she just said, " No. I''m okay."


    "Do you like the view?" he asked. He is now standing beside her looking out the window too.


    She threw him a nce and discovered that his eyes are on her. She felt heate up her face so she


    broke the stare. He always looks at her intensely. She turned her eyes back to the window.


    "You said we will talk. What about?"


    He had no immediate reaction so she turned again to look at him. Her left brow rose because he is


    unbuttoning his white long-sleeve shirt.


    "And what if I may I ask, are you doing,sir?" she asked with a steely tone.


    "I had a rough day and I want to rx. I can''t do that unless I take a quick shower but I will do thatter.


    I just want to get out of this." he said as he took his top off.


    She looked away but before she did, she was able to see how magnificent his upper body is.


    GOSH! This man really has it all physically and I thought nobody''s perfect?--she asked herself.


    Nick tossed his shirt onto the sofa. He flexed his tired muscles. He had been really stressed with


    Stacey more than an hour ago.


    "Do you want to talk here?Or do you want to sit down?" he asked her.


    "Let''s do it here. The view is rxing." she answered him with her eyes outside the ss window.


    "Why didn''t you go back to the office this morning?" she heard him asked.


    She sighed. She is torn between telling him the truth about her encounter with Tanya or not. So instead


    of answering his question, she asked, " Why me?"


    Nick turned her to him by his hand on her arm. Now they are face to face.


    "What do you mean why you?" he asked with furrowed brows.


    She removed his hand from her arm to walk to the middle of the room. She wants a distance between


    them. But the moment she got to the center of the living room she turned again which is a big mistake.


    She can see his bare torso. He has broad shoulders and chest, yummy biceps and he has a six pack.


    His jeans mold his hips and legs perfectly. She wants to tear her eyes from him but she seems to have


    been mesmerized. She swallowed then blinked twice to break the spell. She pouted when she noticed


    his naughty smile. She narrowed her eyes. Obviously he knows that she is drooling.


    Get your act together Stacey! You are here to talk to him not to drool over him! She angrily told herself.


    She cleared her throat and released a sigh. She crossed her arms on her chest and made sure that her


    eyes are on his darker ones. She doesn''t want them to go lower again.


    " There are oceans of beautiful women out there. You can take your pick. I have a boyfriend already


    and I can''t cheat or leave him for just a one -night stand with you."


    Nick''s face broke into a frown. "One-night stand? Where the hell did you get that idea?" he asked,


    sounding irritated. He advanced to the room.


    She stepped back but she is not fast enough. He is now standing inches away from her. He is not


    touching her but she is already physically affected again.


    "Please just stay away from me Mr.Alcantara. How would you feel if you were in my boyfriend''s shoes?


    Another man wants your woman."


    She got goosebumps when his face turned grim. He grabbed her left arm to pull her to him.


    "I will make sure that bastard will regret the day heid eyes on you." he said through gritted teeth.


    She tried to free her arm from his hold but he tightened his grip. She stopped herself from wincing.


    "Then why are you doing this? My boyfriend will be furious too once he knew about this! So please Mr.


    Alcantara, just leave me alone!" she again tried to get her arm back but he is too strong.


    "Speaking of your boyfriend, who is he? ke?!" he rasped.


    Nick is still pissed even if he knows that the boyfriend Stacey is referring to is Derick. He can''t stopped


    having doubts because there are other men who are interested in her. Those assholes anger him.


    "Is it ke?!" he asked again through gritted teeth.


    "No."


    "Then who? Of course he has a name, not unless you are just lying."


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    She narrowed her eyes and jutted out her chin. "His name is Derick." she finally said.


    Nick almost sighed in relief. He would definitely have blown a gasket again if she said another man''s


    name.


    "Let go!" she protested when he pulled her to his body closer by his hand on her waist. Her hands are


    between them.


    "I will deal with your boyfriend. Maybe we''ll have a man- to -man talk." he drawled and that made her


    want to p his face. He seems to be on the verge of grinning.


    She tried to push him from her. He is really impossible. It seems that he is not taking all these seriously.


    This is just a game for him. A challenging game where she is the trophy.


    "Why are you so persistent? I said let me go!" she angrily said.


    He just chuckled and he got his face closer to hers.


    "I am not scared of your boyfriend. You are worth fighting for honey." he said huskily.


    "Are you going to stop pursuing me or not?" she asked.


    He grinned then to her surprise, he gave her a peck on the lips.


    "No honey.. I am not going to stop.." he drawled while he looks at her eyes then down to her lips. She


    can see the hunger in his eyes.


    She also felt something hard above her tummy. She moistened her lips. She knows that he is having a


    boner.


    "You won''t be my first." She said out of the blue.


    She saw something in his eyes but it disappeared after a second.


    "It doesn''t matter to me. Just be mine honey. You won''t regret it. " he said, his eyes molten.


    She felt her breathing became shallow. Him being this close to her, his words and the way he looks at


    her are all making her feel frisky.


    She is finally giving up. He will not stop until he gets what he wants with her. He would do everything to


    bed her once. Before she bes Derick''s woman, she will let Nick have her. Technically, she won''t


    be cheating Derick. Besides, Tanya said, once is enough for him.


    She would just enjoy it and she is hoping that after one fuck, her attraction for him will wane so she can


    give her whole self to Derick. She''s sure that Nick Alcantara is not a boyfriend material however sexy


    he is. Too many women want to be with him and not even for one second should she expect that he is


    serious with her. She is not stupid so she epts that. One fuck and he would let her be. He can go


    back to Tanya as he always does after tonight. She felt a little pain in her heart when she thought about


    that. But it is what it is. It''s high time she makes her decision known. She touched his chin while she


    put her bottom lip between her teeth.


    Nick''s breathing hitched and she released a sigh.


    "Okay. I will let you fuck me tonight but after we had sex we''ll forget what happened and I am expecting


    that you will finally leave me alone." she said

    Chapter 44


    (Nick)


    He can''t believe his ears. A part of him is rejoicing because he can have her as Nick if he wants to but


    the other part is opposing.


    Will she really give herself to another man though she said she has a boyfriend already?


    But he knows she is not a flirt and fortunately he is also Derick and he is being very persistent as Nick


    so he leaves her no choice but to give in to what he wants. He really should stop worrying about things


    which in their situation right now shouldn''t be regarded as problems . He is Nick and Derick and what''s


    the most important is , he can have her tonight. His desire to make love to her and his jealousy are


    really making his thinking and moods unstable.


    "Sir?" She called him in a husky voice.


    He shook his head a little when he realized that he spaced out. He looked at her and he can''t help but


    smile as he drinks in her lovely face then her inviting lips. He has his woman in his arms again as Nick


    this time and he hopes they won''t be disturbed.


    " Why do you call me sir though we both know that I am more than ready to ravish you honey? But the


    way you said my name is so damn sexy...." he drawled as he eats her with his eyes. Then he gave her


    butterfly kisses on her luscious lips.


    In between kisses she said, "Okay then. Just for tonight, what do you want me to call you? And what


    do you want me to do? I will be whatever you want me to be." she said in a breathy voice.


    He caught his breath. His dick is now throbbing. The thought of Stacey being submissive to his sexual


    desires is mind-blowing.


    "DAMMIT honey!" he mumbled before pressing his lips against hers again.


    He cupped her face with his hands to deepen the kiss. He wants to make wild love to her and he is


    almost shaking from desire.


    (Stacey)


    Her knees almost wobbled when their tongues entwined. Their kiss is very passionate and it''s so


    arousing and the same time so intimate that it makes her wants to curl her toes. She kept on reminding


    herself that this will be the first andst time that she will let him have ess to her body. She will


    enjoy this moment with him and however hard it is going to be, she will forget everything after tonight.


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    His hands slowly went down . He is now tracing the side of her left body with his hand. Nick pulled her


    closer to him by his hand on her bottom. His arousal is pressing hard against her.


    "Nick..." she whispered when his kiss went down her neck.


    She felt him smiled against her skin. He must have liked how she mumbled his name.


    The feel of his stubble on her skin gives her a tingling sensation. She swallowed and moaned when his


    tongue went to her cleavage. It''s like he is branding her as his by the way his wet tongue stokes her


    skin.


    "Let''s go to the bed honey." he whispered as he puts his right arm under her legs and his left one on


    her back. His lips imed hers again.


    She wrapped her arms around his nape as their tongues taste each other. Both of them are making a


    sound at the back of their throats as passion consumes them.


    She almost groaned in protest when they had to break the kiss. Nick gently put her down on the bed.


    "Hold on honey." he said hoarsely and opened his fly to hurriedly take off his jeans while his eyes are


    running on her body.


    Because of her need for him, she didn''t feel any embarrassment as she stares at his bulge covered


    only by his white briefs. His yearning to take her is visible in his eyes. He is now walking slowly to the


    bed.


    "We have to take this off honey." He said before removing her top. She lifted her back from the bed.


    They both seem to be holding their breaths. The lights are on so he can clearly see every pore of her


    skin but she no longer care if he sees her naked . She just wants him badly. He is gifted down there


    and based from what she had experienced, a thick, long and huge dick inside a woman''s hole will give


    mind-shuttering carnal pleasure.


    When he unhooked her bra, she slowly released her breath. Only Derick had seen her tits and she


    hopes Nick will like them too. She is now breathing shallowly as he stares at them.


    As if in pain, he groaned before kneading them simultaneously . She arched her back when he started


    nipping her nipples with his thumbs and fingers. She closed her eyes when she saw him ducked


    towards them. He enclosed one of her buds with his lips and he deliciously sucked and licked.


    She is wriggling from pleasure. And the way he does it seems familiar. She tried to open her eyes for a


    few seconds when Nick sucked her other nipple. Then his tongue started swirling around and she


    closed her eyes again. One of his hands is busy kneading her other breast and the other one went


    down to her belly. He is slowly stroking her skin with his index finger.


    She gasped then released a moan when she felt his palm cupped her womanhood which is still


    covered by her pants.


    "Please..Nick.." she pleaded and she couldn''t even recognize her own voice. She sounds breathy and


    wanton. Her hands are on the back of his head.


    As if knowing what she is pleading for, he stopped sucking her rosy bud to unbutton her pants and


    slowly take them off together with hercy underwear.


    He groaned when he saw her most private part. He went on top of her. He is making sure that he is not


    squishing her. Almost trembling with his desire for her, he kissed her on the mouth again. Against his


    lips, she moaned his name when she felt his fingers down there. He ys with her clit as his tongue


    invades her mouth. She closed her eyes to savor every moment.


    His tongue and fingers have picked up a rhythm. She tore her lips from his when she felt that the


    pleasure is escting. Now his lips are on her neck as his fingers stroke her faster. She is continuously


    moaning and wriggling from ecstasy. Her hands are on her sides as she grips the cover. When she felt


    she can''t take the mind-numbing sensation anymore, she let out a loud groan.


    "Ohhhh...Derick..." ..then her body shook slightly.


    Nick stopped what he was doing. She then realized what happened. She called out Derick''s name at


    the height of her orgasm. Nick cursed and angrily rose from the bed.


    She sat down and covered her body with the sheet.


    " N- Nick...s-sorry..." she apologized in a shaky voice.


    He ignored her. He mmed the door behind him.


    (Nick)


    "DAMMIT!!" he cursed loudly.


    He is extremely angry. He furiously opened a cab to get a bottle of rhum. He quickly opened it and


    drank straight from the bottle.


    He is jealous of Derick again.


    He really wants Stacey to like him as Nick. She has to. He is nning to tell her the truth on Friday.


    Having a double identity is really hard. He wants them to have a normal rtionship. But how can he


    do that when it seems like Stacey has deeper feelings for Derick? Why is it difficult for her to want him


    as Nick?


    "F*CKING HELL!!" he cursed again as he threw the bottle against the wall.


    (Stacey)


    She was putting her top on when she heard a crashing noise and Nick''s angry voice. Her heart started


    thumping from fear. She admits she''s at fault but she didn''t know why she called Derick''s name when


    she had her big O. She is very afraid of Nick right now but she has to say sorry. She hopes that he


    won''t hit her out of anger. But on the bright side, maybe after tonight, he will finally leave her alone.


    She slowly walked towards the door. She carefully opened it and peeked from behind it.


    Nick is on the sofa. He has his head bent and his hands are on either side of it. After a second or two,


    he straightened and leaned on the sofa.


    "F*CK!!" he swore and he then turned his head .


    But before she could hide, he already saw her. His eyes are spitting fire as he res at her. She


    swallowed in fear and put her hand on her chest. Her heart is beating even faster.


    Nick stood up and threateningly started to walk towards her.


    Instinctively, she closed the door but groaned in frustration when she realized that there''s no lock. She


    ran to the other end of the room. She almost jumped from surprise when the door was violently


    opened.

 Chapter 45

    Chapter 45


    The door was flung open and an angry Nick came into view. His steps are like a panther''s. Slow but


    threatening.


    "N-Nick.." she nervously uttered.


    She is stepping back without removing her eyes from him. She mumbled a sound of hopelessness


    when she felt the closet door on her back. She hugged herself as if to protect herself.


    His nostrils are ring as he moves forward.


    "I-I''m sorry.. N-Nick....I''m really sorry." Her lips quivered as she tried not to cry.


    What happened is inexcusable. His ego was badly bruised . He looks wrathful which is really scary.


    "I-I d-didn''t mean that to happen.... I am very sorry.." Her voice sounded so small.


    He kicked his jeans which are on his path without removing his angry eyes on her. When he was just a


    few inches away, she just closed her eyes and turned her head to the left. She is holding her breath as


    he gets nearer. She swallowed when she felt his warm breath on the side of her face and neck. He is


    breathing heavily.


    (Nick)


    He ran his eyes on the smooth skin of the side of her face then down her neck. She is really


    bewitching. She doesn''t have an idea how he feels about her. He wants to possess her body and soul.


    He now realized that he is obsessed with her. He has been doing crazy things because he is jealous of


    himself and he also has been repeatedly making mistakes because he can''t control his emotions. If he


    admitted to himself from the beginning that he liked her at first sight and made an effort to know the


    real her, then they wouldn''t be in this situation. Now he is all fucked up because of this stupid mess that


    he himself created.


    But by any means I will make her want and love me as Nick!- He promised himself.


    He took hold of her hands and raised them above her head. He pinned them with his own . She opened


    her eyes and turned her head. She raised her face to look at him. Their foreheads are almost touching.


    "S-sorry..." she repeated in a very small voice.


    He''s breathing shallowly and his mouth is set in a grim line. "What the fuck don''t you like about me?"


    he asked menacingly.


    (Stacey)


    His breath smells of alcohol which strangely enough, she finds very pleasant.


    "LOOK AT ME!" he ordered.


    She was taken aback by his question and she lowered her eyes.


    Slowly she raised them again and she was about to say something but his lipsnded on hers. He is


    kissing her as if to punish her at the same time to rouse her sexual desire. She wants her tongue to


    battle with his but she can''t hardly keep up with his. Nick seems to want to devour her mouth whole by


    the way his tongue moves. He is kissing her like mad. She also wants to touch him but her hands are


    confined by his so she moaned in frustration.


    Then all of a sudden, he cut the kiss. He is now looking at her almost swollen lips while breathing


    raggedly.


    With his mouth barely opening, he asked, "Now answer me! Why don''t you like me?!"


    She swallowed. What will she say?


    "Answer me or I swear I will do something that I will probably regret!"


    To her surprise, he released her wrists and put a little distance between them.


    "Speak up!" hemanded again.


    She moistened her lips and she sighed heavily as she put her hands together to y with her fingers.


    She lowered her stare.


    "I want to see your eyes!"


    She raised them again to meet his.


    "We don''t match." she simply said.


    With a heavy frown, he cursed.


    "And what the fuck do you mean by that??!"


    "Don''t you see? I am not your kind of woman. I am sexually inexperienced whether you believe it or


    not. I won''t satisfy you because I have only been with one man. "she admitted.


    Nick wanted to say , and it will stay that way, but of course he didn''t. Over his dead body that he will let


    any asshole touch her. He is not Nichs Derick Alcantara for nothing. He can do very bad things if


    that would happen and no one can stop him.


    He wants to hear her reason for wanting to do it with him.


    "But you are willing to give yourself to me."


    Stacey closed her eyes for a moment.


    I think I better tell him the truth. She told herself.


    For once she just wants to be honest with him. She doesn''t want to think of the oue after she tells


    him the truth but she is tired of making up stories. It''s not her thing.


    "I am waiting!" he said sounding impatient.


    "I said that because you are very persistent and I know that you won''t stop." she finally admitted.


    "And because of that you will give yourself to me though you are with someone already?" he asked


    while his eyes are narrowed.


    "I don''t have a boyfriend. Derick and I aren''t a couple yet because I haven''t said yes to him yet but I am


    nning to. So even if I give myself to you, I won''t be cheating on him.


    Nick''s eyes are like slits now. As Derick, he told her that he doesn''t want her to go out with other men


    and she agreed.


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    "What exactly is your rtionship with that Derick? Are you saying that you aren''tmitted to him?"


    "We have a mutual understanding. I promised him that I won''t go out with other men. But I can''t avoid


    seeing you because I work for you. "she sighed.


    "What about what we have done before? The kisses and what happened a while ago? Don''t you think


    that''s worse than going out with other men? Are you going to tell him everything? " he asked coldly


    "Yes." she said without blinking.


    "I will be honest with him even if he gets angry. I am sure you know what effect you have on women but


    I tried to avoid you . I did my best to do that but you ckmailed me to work for you. To tell you frankly,


    I don''t do one-night stands. What happened to Derick and me is different. And it isn''t how I wanted to


    lose my innocence. But I never entertained the thought of giving myself to another man just because I


    am no longer a virgin. The fact remains that , even if I didn''t really want the set-up Derick suggested, I


    said yes to it because anyway, I am an adult. You probably won''t understand, but since Derick is my


    first lover, if I''ll have sexual urges, I will choose to do it with him. Only with him. But you are very


    insistent and you don''t take no for an answer so I felt you won''t leave me alone. That''s when I told


    myself, since I got nothing to lose, I will let you have me once. Anyway, I will be Derick''s woman a few


    days from now so you can take me before that. "


    DAMN! Where the fuck have you been all these time honey? Nick asked himself.


    Stacey is really extra-ordinary. This is why he is crazy about her.


    "If I am Derick I will badly hurt the asshole who will touch you."he said , his voice is very cold.


    "Then you admit that you are an asshole?" Stacey asked sarcastically with a raised brow.


    He gritted his teeth. "What if I am?" he rasped.


    She shrugged.


    "Then you deserve to be beaten up. Derick should smack you so he can at least get back at you.


    Assholes should be taught a lesson. They shouldn''t go after women who are with other men already. "


    she said as her eyes sparkled.


    He is speechless. Now he is more determined to make her his.


    " I answered your question, can I go home now? Let''s just forget all these. I love Derick. Now I realized


    I can''t do this . Maybe unconsciously I uttered his name which pissed you so you will stop wanting me.


    Plenty of women are willing to be yours and are ready to y the game you like. I am not one of them.


    So if you still want me to continue working for you, spare me, sir."


    "What if I tell you that I consider you as mine already? Especially now that I learned that you are not yet


    Derick''s real girlfriend?"


    Stacey felt the blood drained from her face. "You can''t force me to have a rtionship with you!" she


    said defiantly.


    Nick''s lips thinned. "I will make sure that you will want me as much as I want you honey." he said


    confidently.


    "Then dream on,sir! " she jutted out her chin. "It''s Derick I love and you have to ept that!"


    His handsome face turned red. He gripped her arm and pulled her towards him.


    "What if I tell you that I am better than that Derick?" he asked through gritted

 Chapter 46

    Chapter 46


    "W-What?" Stacey asked.


    Nick pulled her even closer to him. His lips only an inch from hers.


    "You heard me honey..." he said almost like a whisper.


    She frowned and then with all her force, she pushed him with her palms on his chest.


    "LET ME GO!!" she shrieked.


    At first he didn''t want to move and Stacey couldn''t even budge him but seeing the fire in her eyes, Nick


    knows that she is very angry so he decided to just release her.


    (STACEY)


    She dashed to the opposite side of the bed. She balled her hands on her sides as Nick crossed his


    arms on his chest and just looked at her. If she is not really pissed, she would probably have been


    taken by his sexy stance. The way he has his arms on his broad chest shows his biceps and


    emphasizes his six pack more. He is only in his white briefs. He looks way better than some of the


    underwear male models she had seen.


    But what he said is uneptable.


    "How dare you say such a thing! You will never be better than Derick ! He genuinely cares for me and


    you on the other hand, just lust after me. He can offer me a long-timemitment! Unlike you! You


    only want a one-night stand! Your motto ording to your girlfriend is one woman, one fuck!" she said


    angrily.


    Disbelief registered on his face and he uncrossed his arms.


    "MY WHAT???!!" he asked.


    "YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!" she yelled back.


    She has the sudden desire to throw things like thempshade or something hard that''s inside his room


    at him. She feels violent right at this moment.


    Damn you Nick! YOU BRING OUT THE WORST IN ME!! She angrily thought.


    She is really finding it very hard to resist him. She told him that she loves Derick but the truth of the


    matter is, she is torn between them. They are almost equal. It''s a neck and neck but she will never tell


    her boss the truth. She is well aware though that choosing Derick is better than being Nick Alcantara''s


    woman. Being thetter''s girlfriend is like a suicide. She is not the type of woman who will do cat fights


    with other females just to protect what''s hers


    "And who the fuck is my supposed to be girlfriend?! As far as I know, I only want one female to be my


    woman but unfortunately, she has an issue about me. " he added, with a sexy grin which she finds


    annoying.


    She flushed. She knows that he is referring to her.


    "You can''t remember who your girlfriend is because you just have too many women." she said with a


    bitter lightugh.


    Nick might be grinning but he wonders who she talked with then his brows knitted. It suddenly dawned


    on him that it was definitely Tanya. They probably met hours ago and that might be the reason why


    Stacey didn''t go back to the office again.


    "I am going home Mr.Alcantara!" she said before turning around to leave.


    She was close to the door when she felt his hand grabbed her right forearm.


    "We are not done yet. "Nick said sounding irritated.


    "We are!" she retorted while trying to free her arm but of course he didn''t let release her.


    " I asked you what if I am better than that Derick?" his eyes are half slits.


    Stacey narrowed her eyes too. " Even if you were better than Derick I won''t ever say yes to you! I won''t


    even let you near me! I''d rather be a spinster than be your girlfriend!" she rasped.


    She wanted to take back what she said when she saw how his expression changed.


    "Thatst part was uncalled for..." he said menacingly.


    She was about to say something when he took hold of her nape and his lipsnded on hers. She tried


    to push him but as expected, she couldn''t .


    He suddenly tore his lips from hers to say, "The sooner you ept that I own every inch of you, the


    better! I don''t want to say this but I think I need to! I have no scruples when ites to getting you!


    Body, heart and soul!" he said through clenched teeth.


    Nick wants to make love to her tonight to show her that he meant what he just said but he is not that


    stupid to force her again. He made a very big mistake before and he doesn''t want to have a repeat of


    that dreadful night. There are other ways to coax her into officially bing his.


    "Can''t you get it through your thick skull that I don''t like you? I am not your crazy girlfriend who allows


    you to fuck other women whenever you want to! You are such a pig and I don''t want you!!" her voice is


    shaky and she sounds like she''s about to cry from frustration.


    They are standing at the middle of his bedroom, ring at each other.


    His lips thinned. Stacey has a very bad impression of him. Maybe it is true that what goes around,


    takes, he will fix all this. If he needs to woo her the traditional way, he would. He hasn''t courted any


    female before so he is clueless about what to do but he will do his best. It''s all going to be worth it


    anyway. He almost smiled. His Stacey will see a different Nick from now on and he is confident that she


    will fall for him really soon.


    "To start with, I have no girlfriend. I never had one because I didn''t want any one so badly until now. I


    have no intention of having just a one-night stand with you because I want us to be a couple and I will


    make sure that will happen very very soon, never forget that. Besides, you are too desirable to just fuck


    once . And honey, I want to use the phrase make love to describe what I want to do with you. From


    what I have seen, touched and tasted , I can say that your sultry body is made for love.." he said as he


    seductively stares at her lips.


    Stacey''s cheeks colored up. Nick is very good-looking and he has way with words. He can make any


    woman giddy.


    "You really got the gift of the gab. No wonder you are sessful in your business and that''s why


    countless women flock to you." she said bitterly. Her eyes narrowed when he chuckled.


    "You sound jealous honey." He drawled.


    With a pout she angrily said, "YOU WISHED!"


    He in now grinning sexily.


    "Stop picking up a fight honey. Why don''t we just pleasure each other ? I have been craving for you .."


    he said huskily.


    ording to you, you love Derick because he cares for you. Now honey, I will let you experience how it


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    is to be taken care of by Nick. he thought.


    "Come here honey." he reached for her and before she can protest, he inhaled her hair as he strokes


    her back gently. His other hand is on her nape.


    All Stacey''s protest died down when she smelled his manly scent. She stopped herself from sniffing his


    neck.


    "I love how your hair smells" he said as he kissed the top of her head. His lips went down to her ear,


    "Your scent is driving me insane..", now he''s kissing the side of her neck.."your skin''s taste is


    intoxicating..." he whispered.


    Stacey has her eyes closed. His stubble is rubbing against her skin and is sending thousands of


    voltages in her body. What he''s doing is making her nipples hard and her private part wet.


    Then he framed her face with his hands.


    "Honey, open your eyes.." he huskily ordered.


    She did just that. She doesn''t realize that her mouth looks so seductive because her pink lips are


    slightly parted.


    She can see different emotions from his eyes.....lust, desire, longing...and something else.


    "Everything about you is really driving me crazy. But I want you to know that I am willing to wait. But


    please honey, don''t make me wait too long because I might do something that I don''t want to ..." he


    said before he imed her lips.


    It was the most passionate kiss they have shared so far. The way he kisses her now makes her feel


    that he doesn''t only lust after her and maybe she is wrong about him after all. She didn''t expect him to


    end the kiss after a few seconds. He is now looking at her intently as he cups her face.


    "Don''t believe all the things that you hear about me. I want you to know the real me. Don''t judge me by


    what your eyes can see. You''d be surprised on what I can and I am willing to do just to make you mine


    honey."

    Chapter 47


    She is confused. Nick Alcantara is luring her with words. Her sensible mind seemed to have clogged so


    she can''t even think straight. It''s like he can control her mind and body which is very dangerous. It may


    sound like an exaggeration but his charms and words are very powerful which could really cloud her


    logical thinking.


    He will be the death of me. He is slowly destructing all these walls I built to protect myself from him...--


    she thought.


    "I badly want to make love to you honey...but I won''t, unless you want me to." he said


    She ran her tongue on her lips to moisten them. Her wanton side wants him to make love to her but


    something is holding her back.


    "Are you telling me the truth about Tanya? She isn''t your girlfriend?" she asked.


    Nick is right. She is jealous.


    He shook his head. "No."


    "And you really want me to be your girlfriend?"


    "I do honey."


    She let out a sigh. She needed to hear him say that again before she''ll tell him what she wants. She


    moved her head backwards so there''s a little space between them. She touched his hands on her face.


    "Nick..." She lowered her eyes. She can''t seem to look at him directly.


    "Yes honey?" he asked, his voice a little breathy.


    She has to muster all the courage she has so she can tell him what she desires. She wants him to hold


    and kiss her. She longs for his touch and kisses.


    "What is it honey? What do you want?" He tilted her face to see her eyes.


    She closed them before asking, "Can we make out but not all the way?"


    She chewed the inside of her lower lip and slowly opened her eyes again. Nick''s face is very close to


    her and he has a very sexy grin and even his eyes are smiling.


    "Do you really mean that honey?" he asked and he sounded like he couldn''t believe his ears.


    She nodded. She decided topare how she feels in his arms and Derick''s. She will finally give him


    a chance to prove himself. If Derick will not show his face to her on Friday, she will choose Nick.


    "I only have one request." she murmured.


    "What is it honey?" he asked. He looks even better with his smile.


    "Please don''t call me honey because that''s what Derick calls me."


    His grin disappeared and his forehead creased so she added, "Don''t be angry."


    "What do you want me to call you then?" he asked tonelessly.


    Stacey sighed . She almost forgot how possessive he is. She shouldn''t have brought that up. She


    wants his yful and flirtatious mood back.


    "Okay. You can call me honey if you want to." she told him with a small smile. She touched the stubble


    on his chin.


    He narrowed his eyes a little, "Do you wanna do it on the bed?"


    "Yes.."


    She saw his eyes turned molten. He put his right arm under her legs while the other one under her


    back. She wrapped hers around his neck. Without tearing their eyes from each other, he gently put her


    down on the bed then heid next to her.


    "Do you want me to take off your top? Just your top honey." he asked throatily.


    She almost frowned. Somehow when he talks that way, he sounds like Derick. She shook her thoughts


    off. All men probably sound like that when they are aroused.


    She shed a small but sweet smile. "Why just my top?" she teased.


    She knows that she has a power over him and somehow she wants to tease him because it makes her


    feel so desirable and beautiful. A lot of women would want to be in her ce. Nick Alcantara desires


    her so much.


    His chuckle sounds so sexy. "You don''t want me losing it honey. I won''t be able to control myself."


    She wetted her lips. "I can do it myself. I can take it off." she said.


    She sat down and began to take her top off while her eyes are still on him and his eyes are also fixated


    on her. He can clearly see the upper part of her body because she made it sure that she faces him


    .She is more confident now in showing him her body since he has been vocal on what effect she has


    on him. His eyes followed her every movement. After removing her top, she slowly unhooked her bra.


    Nick almost groaned when he saw her lovely breasts. He is trying very hard not to touch them yet until


    she gives the go signal. His yearning for her is making his heart beats fast.


    Stacy slowlyid her back on the bed. They are still staring at each others'' eyes. She ran her left index


    finger along the right side of his jaw. She loves the rough feeling of his stubble especially when he


    kisses her neck.


    She gasped when he suddenly took hold of her hand and kissed her palm.


    "What do you want me to do to you honey?" he asked huskily.


    His strong desire for her is evident which made her smile. ording to Greek mythology, Aphrodite is


    the most beautiful goddess. She feels like her at the moment.


    She chewed her bottom lip before whispering, "You can do whatever you want with me."


    He took a deep breath then pulled her towards him. He is kissing her like it is thest kiss that they''ll


    share. Now they are doing the lizard kiss.


    Their tongues entwined, Nick started kneading her tits. Groaning, Stacey tried to do what his tongue is


    doing. They kissed for what seems like an eternity.


    Since he has been told that they can make out, that means he can do almost anything with her except


    pration. So he kissed every inch of her but her most private part because his woman refused. He


    understands that she feels it''s too soon but he feels disappointed because he misses how she tastes


    down there. Maybe as Derick on Friday, he could taste her sweet juice again. When she held his


    member with her hands, he almost lost control. She stroked it for a few times but he told her to stop


    what she was doing or he will have to take her. He saw disappointment crossed her face but she


    reluctantly released it.


    He controlled a smile when he thought about the advantage of being Derick and Nick at the same


    time.He just hopes that once Stacey found out the truth, she won''t think that he has just been ying


    with her. Thest thing he wants is make her furious and hate him.


    ***


    Stacey feels happy and satisfied. She enjoyed what they did together. She just got worried a bit when


    she refused to be kissed by him down there. He was very persistent but finally he gave in though he


    said he wants something in return. She just agreed because she still feels a bit ufortable although


    he already did that to her once. She is also relieved that he held on to his promise that they won''t go all


    the way. She closed her eyes and bit her bottom lip when she remembered a vivid image of his long


    and massive dick . It''s so smooth. Come to think of it , it felt like Derick''s. She is now wondering if dicks


    all look and feel the same.


    But she feels lucky because whether she ends up with Derick or Nick, she will be satisfied sexually.


    She almost scolded herself again. She hasn''t been sexual buttely, she changed. She doesn''t even


    know if it''s okay for a woman to feel this way.


    "Honey?" She heard Nick call her so she turned to him.


    They are now in his car and he is already driving her home. He said he will ask his driver to get her car


    near Eve''s and bring it to the office tomorrow. He even offered to pick her up tomorrow morning but she


    said no. At first she thought he won''t ept her refusal but thankfully he did eventually.


    "Is everything okay ?" he asked before turning his eyes back to the road. "You seem to be deep in


    thought. Didn''t you enjoy what we did?" he added and she saw his sexy grin appeared on lips again.


    She flushed but hid a smile. She feels she has a special connection with him after what they did. She


    also felt that with Derick but this time the difference is, she could see Nick''s face, eyes and his


    expression which was really arousing and satisfying.


    "Do you really have to ask that and expect me to give you a direct answer? You should know that I will


    not answer your question." she tried to sound irritated but her warm feeling surfaced.


    She is sure that he knows she is swallowing a smile.


    He chuckled. When the light turned red, he looked at her again.


    " I enjoyed every second honey. I hope you did too. Thank you. I will cherish every moment. I can''t wait


    for next time." he shed her a grin, his eyes sparkling.


    She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms in front of her breasts but she couldn''t really suppress a


    small smile this time. Then she almost groaned when she remembered that she doesn''t have a

    brassiere on. Nick insisted he keeps it in exchange of her not letting him tongue fuck her most private


    part.


    "You haven''t told me what you will do with my bra. Why do you want to keep it?" she asked. Her


    cheeks turned pink when he looked at her while still wearing a smile but he didn''t respond to her


    question.


    "It''s a good thing that you are bringing me straight home. I would die of embarrassment if someone will


    see me in this state." she said before removing her arms and looked down on her chest. Her nipples


    are almost visible under her sheer top.


    "I won"t let anyone see you tonight..over my dead body! " he said with a frown before he threw her tits


    a nce.


    She just shook her head then checked her phone. She gasped when Nick cursed and stepped on the


    break.


    He is ring at something so she followed where his eyes are.


    They are three houses away from hers. ke''s hip is resting on his motorcycle which is parked in front


    of their house. He looks like he has been waiting for a while. He has his phone in his hand.


    Then her phone started ringing. She stopped herself from making a frustrated sound when Nick heard


    her ring tone and turned his head . He is looking at her with his eyes like slits. His lips are thinned and


    he has a white ring around his mouth.


    ke is calling her.

 Chapter 48

    Chapter 48


    Stacey is torn between taking the call or not. Looking at Nick''s angry face makes thetter seems to be


    a better choice. He was a very generous lover to her when they got intimate and she doesn''t want him


    to be pissed tonight.


    She decided to ask him. "Do you want me to answer it or not?" she tried to make her tone steady.


    SHIT!! When will this asshole stop? Nick thought.


    He wants to beat him up but he doesn''t want to frighten Stacey. At this early stage of their rtionship,


    he doesn''t wish that she sees his violent side which he himself just recently discovered . She asked


    him to do those wonderful things to her a while ago and he''ll do his best not ruin what they have right


    now just because he is jealous as fuck again . He wished himself good luck because he is really


    pissed. He dealt with the other asshole already, Stacey''s former boss and he is pretty sure that he will


    stop wooing Stacey. Now ke is his only problem.


    Stacey uttered his name again while her phone continues to ring. The dickhead waiting for her has an


    impatient expression already as he holds the phone to his ear.


    He blew out some air to release some of his annoyance. " You don''t need to get it. We''ll get out of the


    car anyway." he said.


    He stepped on the elerator again and stopped a few meters from ke''s motorcycle. They saw him


    straightened and turned to look at his car.


    "I can''t go out like this!" Stacey said and she sounded panicky.


    She helplessly looked at Nick''s grim expression as he res at ke through the windshield.


    He nced at her face down her breasts. "Do you ever think that I will let him see you like that?" he


    asked in an arctic tone. "Just wait here!Don''t daree out!" hemanded.


    She rolled her eyes at him before he got out of the vehicle. She frowned when Nick walked to where


    ke is. Thetter has his forehead creased as Nick talks to him.


    GOSH! What is he telling ke? She asked herself.


    She can''t see Nick''s face but his back looks tensed. He seems to be holding out his temper. She saw


    ke''s lips thinned while he listens to whatever Nick is saying. Then after a while, he did the talking


    and she witnessed how Nick''s hands which are on his sides clenched. She felt a little apprehensive.


    There is definitely tension between the two men.


    She can''t go out because Nick specifically said that she stays inside so she decided to honk to get their


    attention, especially Nick''s. He didn''t turn but ke looked at the car''s direction. He said something to


    Nick and thetter walked back to his car. He opened the backseat then got something , it''s a ck


    jacket. He mmed the door then went to the driver''s seat. He slid in without closing the door.


    "Wear this." he said in a very cold voice.


    He helped her put it on. He even zipped it up while she just kept quiet.He really looks menacing. She


    dare not ask him anything because his expression makes her feel afraid.


    "Don''t go out yet! Wait for my instruction!" he ordered then went around the car to open her door for


    her.


    She pouted when she saw his expression. He doesn''t look angry now. Instead, he has a smile on his


    handsome face. He took hold of her hand as he helps her go out. She wanted to tell him that he is


    really bipr but of course she didn''t. He held her hand firmly as they walk to where ke is. He has


    his eyes on their hands for a few seconds before his eyes went to her face. He is poker-faced. Now it


    dawned on her why Nick had suddenly changed his facial expression. He wants to show ke that she


    belongs to him and he is very affectionate. She doesn''t know whether to get angry or be amused. He


    didn''t have to do this because ke isn''t even courting her. But then of course, her boss is Mr.


    Grouchy sh Mr. Possessive.


    "Why are you here?" she asked ke while she tried to get her hand back. She almost sighed in relief


    when Nick released it but he moved closer to her side.


    "I was worried. Eve she said that you went out with your boss . You were more than tipsy when I left."


    he said tonelessly.


    She felt Nick tensed up. "Are you implying that I took advantage of her?" he asked curtly.


    ke''e eyes went to Nick. "You shouldn''t ask me that question. I definitely have a lot to say but not in


    front of Stacey." he said with a sneer.


    Stacey saw Nick''s aura became darker so she interrupted, " ke I''m okay. Nothing bad happened.


    Thank you for the concern. Now that you have seen that I''m fine, let''s all call it a night. I still have work


    tomorrow."


    She was touched because she didn''t expect ke to worry about her like this. She got no reaction


    from him though. The two men are ring at each other.


    "Sir," she called Nick after she turned to him, " thank you for bringing me home . Goodnight."


    With furrowed brows he looked at her. His eyes look steely. It seems that he didn''t like her calling him


    sir in front of ke.


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    "Okay. I will call or see you tomorrow." said ke and she felt Nick was about to say something too so


    she turned her eyes to ke again. "Thank you. Please drive carefully. Take care. "


    She thought she heard Nick cursed but tried to ignore it. He pulled her by the arm to bring her closer to


    his side.


    Before ke put his helmet on, he said, "You take care miss Hotness, you need it more. Call me if you


    need me."


    She almost winced when Nick''s tightened his grip on her arm as they watched ke drove away.


    ***


    Now that they are alone , she feels nervous. They are standing on the middle of the street. His left


    hand is encircling her right arm tightly.


    "Nick..." sheined.


    His lips are set in a thin line. "In front of that asshole, who you keep on saying is just your friend, you


    called me sir, now that we''re alone you call me Nick?" he asked sarcastically.


    She sighed heavily before removing his hand from her forearm. "Every one knows that you are my


    boss. You can''t expect me to tell everybody that...that..."


    "That I want you? That we like pleasuring each other?That I almost possessed your lovely body


    tonight? Why not? I think it''s best that they know! " he said as if it''s the most natural thing to suggest in


    their situation.


    "I don''t think that what happened is something that I should be proud of!"


    "And what do you mean by that?" He asked . His tone sounds frightening.


    "I am tired so let''s call it a night, Nick. At the office, you are my boss so I will call you sir and you call


    me Stacey or Miss Ledesma. Don''t call me honey at work! " she said.


    His eyes narrowed. "But I like calling you honey. Are you ashamed of me honey?" he asked.


    She let out a sigh.


    "Look at us. We are on the road while talking about this. Can we just let this conversation end right


    now? I said I am tired. I have to get up early tomorrow. You can bete because you are the boss, but I


    can''t be." she said with a hint of irritation.


    She knows that after what happened tonight, Nick will think that he owns her already. Now she feels a


    bit regretful . She shouldn''t have asked him to do all those things to her.


    "You can be the boss'' girlfriend if you want to. You can even stop working because I will take care of


    you. Let''s talk in the car honey, or we can go somewhere else to discuss about this." he suggested as


    he took hold of her arm again.


    "Nick! Didn''t you hear what I said? I said that I am tired! I don''t want to go to your car nor drive


    somewhere to talk about this!"


    Nick is angry. He thought that after what they did together, they are finally okay. That Stacey will


    sumb to what he wants but it seems that she still hasn''t gotten over her issues with him.


    He counted one to ten before speaking.


    " Are you sure you don''t want to get inside the car? Though I don''t want to argue with you honey, I can''t


    let our conversation end like this. We have to make things clear between us even if we are on the


    middle of the street." he said firmly.


    She shook her arm but he didn''t let it go.


    "Why are you so stubborn? It''s like I am talking to a brick wall!"


    " Because I don''t want a repeat of what happened here! I don''t want that asshole near you ever again!"


    he rasped.


    She stared at him in disbelief. His face looks really grim.


    They both turned when they heard tires screeched loudly.

 Chapter 49

    Chapter 49


    An angry Heather came out of the car. She is looking daggers at her.


    Uh-oh..I guess my sister can''t hide her annoyance this time.-Stacey thought.


    Before, her half sister tried to mask her feelings. She didn''t want Nick to see how evil she can be with


    her. Probably, seeing her with Nick while he holds her arm and they look like a couple having a lover''s


    quarrel really burned her up. .


    Nick didn''t release her. He is just looking at Heather with furrowed brows.


    "And what is this? Don''t you realize that you are at the middle of the street?" Heather asked with a


    trace of irritation in her voice.


    "It''s none of your business. Your sister and I are settling things." Nick replied as he pulled Stacey to his


    car.


    "Nick!" Stacey protested.


    "Lovey!" Heather called.


    "Where are we going? I said that I don''t...." she stopped what she was about to say when Nick turned


    angrily to her.


    Heather moved towards them with her eyes spitting fire.


    "Don''t worry, we are okay. We have nothing to talk about. I will keep in mind what you said. There won''t


    be a repeat of what happened . I am just really tired. Let''s just talk tomorrow please." she pleaded.


    She needs to pacify him as usual. Obviously he is very mad because of ke. She is hoping that he


    won''t force her to get in his car. Heather is already very angry and she doesn''t want to add fuel to the


    fire. She knows that her half-sister will not let this pass. She will definitely be really bitchy once they


    be alone. She heard her made an unpleasant sound at the back of her throat but chose not to


    look at her. She knows that she is glowering at her.


    Nick on one hand is trying to absorb what Stacey just said.


    Chill Alcantara. You heard her. There won''t be a repeat of what happened and you and her are okay. If


    you want her to fall for you, then simmer down. Control your fucking jealousy and temper! He advised


    himself.


    "Lovey!" Heather called and went closer to Nick to touch his arm.


    Stacey tried to free her arm but Nick doesn''t want to let go. He turned to Heather and was about to say


    something but Stacey suddenly said, "Sir, I''m really sorry. I promise I will finish everything tomorrow. "


    With a furrowed brow, Nick looked at her again. Stacey tried to plead with him with her eyes. He can''t


    let her half-sister know what is really going on. She almost sighed in relief when he finally released her


    arm before giving a curt nod.


    Nick feels that Stacey doesn''t want to have a rift with her sister and he understands that.He doesn''t


    want his woman to be in a difficult situation but he has no choice so the least he could do is not force


    what he wants tonight. He will let the sisters have a heart-to-heart talk. It is better if Stacey tells


    Heather about their situation. It mustn''te from him. But whether Heather likes it or not, she has to


    ept everything.


    Stacey bit her bottom lip when Heather asked Nick, " Lovey, can we talk?"


    She doesn''t want to hear what they are going to talk about so she excused herself. She made exactly


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    four steps when she heard Nick.


    "Stacey! I will pick you up tomorrow at 7 AM."


    She just nodded her head. She is d that he didn''t call her honey. He may have gotten the picture.


    Her half-sister is jealous and pissed because of what she had seen and fueling her anger will be worse.


    She almost shook her head. This situation is really messy because her sister wants Nick too.


    ***


    She locked her door and leaned on it. She is wishing that Heather will not confront her after her talk


    with Nick. A lot of things happened tonight and she feels drained.


    She took off Nick''s jacket and smelled it. She closed her eyes when she inhaled his wonderful scent.


    She is giddy. She only felt this way with Derick before. But after she became intimate with Nick, he now


    has a greater effect on her. One reason might be because she saw his face while they were making out


    . She can vividly remember the expression on Nick''s handsome face and the way his eyes darkened


    while he made passionate love to her. She felt desired and wanted. But...


    She sighed.


    She has to keep her stand . She has greater feelings for Nick but she is still going to choose Derick if


    he will finally let her see his face on Friday.


    If she will not choose Nick, he can easily get over it . His ego will be hurt but soon he can forget her


    unlike Derick. Nick has a lot of women who are more than willing to be his but Derick only has her.


    "Oh God!" she mumbled and closed her eyes.


    Her mind and heart are really a mess. A lot of negative thoughts are running in her head again.


    Nick''s way of showing how much he wants her is very intense just because he hadn''t had her yet


    only fuck her once . Should she dare take a risk? She has stronger feelings for him now and she can


    be shattered to pieces once he gets tired of her. She is still just Stacey Ledesma. Nothing special about


    her. Nick is used to more than just ordinary women.


    She groaned and shook her head before inhaling his jacket again. Then she bit her bottom lip when


    she remembered her brassiere. She used Jadore by Dior this morning and Nick liked how she smelled.


    Is he going to sniff it too like what she is doing to his jacket?


    She released a lightugh with that thought. She walked to her closet to get a hanger for his jacket.


    She remembered that she has to call Derick. She dialed his number but it just kept on ringing. With a


    heavy sigh, she decided to take a shower and call him backter.


    It was such a relief that after her shower, there was still no sign of Heather.


    At least I can have a peaceful time before going to bed. I don''t want to have a nightmare.-she thought


    as she smiled to herself.


    Sheid on her bed after reaching for her phone which is on her bedside table. She frowned when she


    didn''t see any miscall or text message from Derick. She felt it is a little strange and now she is worried


    about him. She hopes that nothing bad happened to him. She was about to call him when she saw


    Nick''s number shing on the screen.


    She thought of not taking his call but she changed her mind. She is just human after all. It''s really hard


    to resist him.


    "Hello." she answered . She didn''t intend to sound husky but her voice seemed sexier.


    "Honey..." He sounds breathy like he just finished working out.


    Her imagination is getting wild again. She is imagining him only in his briefs or boxer shorts and his


    body is glistening with sweat.


    She scolded herself and instead asked in her normal voice, "Why did you call?"


    "I want to sleep like a log from now on so I will call you every night to say good night." he drawled.


    She bit her bottom lip to suppress a smile. Nick is making it more difficult for her to control her feelings


    for him.


    "Are you sure that you had never wooed anyone before?" she asked.


    His quietugh sounded so sexy that she grasped her bed cover . Being in bed while talking to him


    brings back all the things they did in his unit and much as she wants to deny it, she feels wet a little


    frisky. She closed her eyes and thought about the women he bedded once .


    How did they feel after a heated lovemaking with him? He is a wonderful lover and the thought of being


    possessed by him once is somehow unimaginable. It''s like experiencing heaven only one time.


    Reality check.


    That is going to happen to her. She is going to feel that.


    What he said before came rushing in.


    "You''d be surprised on what I can and I am willing to do just to make you mine."


    She opened her eyes and creased her brow.


    "I haven''t wooed anyone honey. You''ll be the first."


    "I find that hard to believe. You have a way with words. Just like now. But I don''t think I should be taken


    by what you are saying. " she said in a cold voice.


    (Nick)


    He frowned and got up from his bed. She sounded okay a few moments ago and now she seems


    annoyed with him.


    He flexed the muscles of his shoulders and neck. She is making him all tensed up. He had just finished


    three sets of push-ups after his cold shower because thoughts of her are really giving him a boner. He


    is not into wanking just to pleasure himself but even a cold shower is not enough for him.


    Seems like she is going to give me a hard time wooing her but have patience Alcantara. Women are


    really fickle-minded. Get used to it. She is after all, going to be yours. He consoled himself.


    "Honey? I thought we are okay. Why do you sound angry?" he asked.


    He heard her sighed.


    "What do you understand by okay? Maybe we are not on the same page. " She said in a t tone.


    "Can you please exin to me what you mean by okay then?" he asked through gritted teeth.


    There was a short silence before she spoke again. "I have done some thinking before you called."


    Nick tugged on his hair as he controls getting pissed himself .He has a gut feeling that what she''s


    about to say is something that will really displease him.


    "Go on honey. Exin to me what you mean by okay." he asked icily.


    "We are okay as a boss and an employee so there won''t be a repeat of what happened to us a few


    hours ago. It suddenly dawned on me that if we be a couple, it''s going to be tooplicated. I am


    having second thoughts about us." she said.


    She has her hand on her chest. She is angry with herself. A big part of her wants to give Nick a chance


    but doubts and insecurities are bewildering her. She is really confused. The moment Nick heard what


    she said, he cursed furiously and kicked his bed repeatedly.


    She bit her bottom lip and hang up before she started crying.

    (Next morning)


    Stacey went to the kitchen to grab breakfast. Unfortunately, Heather is there. She is stirring something


    in a pot. She turned to her .


    "Hey chubi!" Her evil half-sister greeted her.


    She raised a brow at her and sarcastically said, " Wow! I didn''t know witches do their potion early in the


    morning. It''s barely 7 AM."


    Amy, who is clearing the mess Heather did, giggled and her half-sister glowered at their help .


    Stacey just shook her head. She is not usually bitchy but she didn''t sleep a wink because she was


    thinking about Nick and she refuses to put up with Heather''s snark which she is sure will being.


    Nick said that he will pick her up at 7 AM. Strange as it may sound, she wants to be with him today eve


    if she said a lot of things to himst night. She has to use concealer to hide the dark circles under her


    eyes.


    "Hmmmm..I guess you are the queen of the witches because you look as if you were tossing and


    turningst night. Too busy doing tons of love potion for Nick?" Heather jibed in return.


    But before she can retort, Amy chimed in.


    "I don''t think Miss Pretty has to make such potions Miss Heather. She doesn''t need to. Mr. Nick aka Mr.


    Handsome likes her so much. They are a perfect match!" their help said giddily.


    "Shut up! My mom should really fire you! You always butt in which is so damn rude and annoying!


    Make yourself useful! Go wash my car!" Heather angrily said.


    "Look Miss Heather! Mrs. Sofia, your mom, won''t fire me because you can''t get any other help! You are


    such a difficult person and no one wants to work for you except me!" She said with confidence, but


    when Heather was about to scold her more, she walked out while saying, "Okay , I will wash your car


    now."


    The moment Amy left the kitchen, Heather didn''t waste time. She turned off the stove and faced her.


    "Didn''t I tell you not to flirt with Nick? What was thatst night?!"


    Stacey drank her juice first before answering. "Didn''t you hear that I apologized to him?I wasn''t flirting


    with him. I left the office early without informing him. "


    She knows that her half-sister won''t stop pestering her so she has to tell white lies even if she doesn''t


    have to exin anything.


    "You had to talk about that on the street? And why did he have to bring you home? And why were you


    wearing his jacket?"


    She was saved from answering when their mother came.


    "What''s with the two of you? Why are you bickering again? " She looked at Stacey. "Honey? What is


    your sister saying?" she asked her.


    "Maybe you better ask her. As usual she is making a mountain out of a molehill. Anyway, my


    exnation is useless ." she said sounding a bit bitter.


    "Miss Pretty!!" came Amy''s shrill voice which she is thankful.


    She doesn''t want to have this kind of conversation with her mother and sister. Exining her side is


    just going to be a waste of time.


    "Someone is out there to pick you up." Amy said.


    She felt her heart beat faster. She is nervous and at the same time excited to see Nick.


    "Why is someone picking you up? What happened to your car?" her mother asked.


    She grabbed her bag on the table without looking at Heather. She kissed her mom on the cheek. "At


    Eve''s. I will get itter. " she said before walking out of the kitchen hurriedly .


    She doesn''t want Nick to wait long.


    "Geez Miss Pretty! That car out there is top-of-the-range! And there is even a chauffeur." Amy said


    before opening the gate.


    She said thank you to her and headed to the vehicle. The uniformed driver is standing next to it. It''s a


    different car.


    "Good morning Miss Stacey." he greeted her.


    "Norman, please drop the miss. I told you before to just call me Stacey, didn''t I?" she reminded him in a


    friendly voice.


    He just nodded then opened the door.


    "Thank you for remembering my name Stacey. " he said with a smile .


    She smiled back before getting in. She was bitterly disappointed when she realized that Nick is not in


    the car. She expected him to pick her up. She wonders where he is.


    She had no choice but to ask Norman. "Is sir Nick going to the office today? " she asked in a casual


    tone.


    "Sorry Stacey I have no idea. I didn''t see him this morning. One of the helps just told me that he wants


    me to drive you to work and get your car before lunch time to bring it to the office. "


    She just murmured a sad thank you.


    ***


    (Nick)


    He is still in bed. He had been drinking the whole night after he and Stacey talked on the phone. He is


    not happy with their conversation but he still had her picked up by his chauffuer.


    "Mate! Aren''t you going to join the meeting? You''re runningte already! Jim asked me to call you. He


    is still sulking because you transferred him to another branch. " Billy said.


    "I''ll call my secretary to re-schedule the meeting. I''ll put you on hold, don''t hang up." he told his friend.


    "Is there a problem? I will make a guess...it''s your beautiful graphic designer. Am I right?" Billy asked


    after he talked to his secretary.


    He sat on the edge of his bed. Hebed his hair with his hand. He is not used to confiding his


    problems with women to his friends but he is still very much confused and annoyed.


    "DAMMIT! I can''t understand her. One minute we''re okay next minute, she''s having second thoughts!


    She is so fickle! "


    Billy chuckled. "Dang mate! I was right all along! You fell hard this time but unfortunately she is not


    making it easy for you!"


    "SHUT UP!" he rasped.


    "Chill mate! Wee to the real world! It ismon for men to be turned down by women! Just


    consider it your firs time if Stacey decides to say no to you! " Billyughed.


    "So you think all this is funny?" He asked through gritted teeth.


    Billy stoppedughing and cleared his throat. He must know that he is more pissed now.


    "Sorry mate. I am just making it lighter for you. You take things so seriously. Just be patient and


    continue pursuing her. She can afford to keep you dangling. She is gorgeous and her kind should be


    wooed. Don''t give up easily! I know you are not used to this kind of situation but no worries, I will give


    you some tips so she will say yes in no time!"


    ***


    (STACEY)


    She chose to work outside Nick''s office because she will miss him more if she stays inside. She looked


    up when the phone on Cherry''s table rang. Her heart started thumping. She hopes Nick is the caller.


    She waited for Cherry to pick it up. She pretended to be busy sketching while she listens to what she is


    saying. She is unsure whether she was talking to Nick or not. She just heard her say, yes sir a few


    times. When their conversation ended, Cherry called several people to inform them about the sudden


    changes in the meeting''s schedule. She stopped herself from asking the secretary questions when


    finally she put the receiver back to the cradle.


    "I wonder what happened to sir Nick. He never cancels meetings. I hope he''s not sick." Cherry said


    with a slight frown which made her worried.


    "Really? How did he sound? Was his voice hoarse? Did he say anything about going to work today? Is


    he sometimes absent orte?" She regretted asking so many questions when a smile appeared on the


    secretary''s lips.


    "Whoaa! Hold on Stacey! I can''t answer all those questions at once. " she joked with a giggle.


    She lowered her eyes to the table and started to sketch something. She should have held her tongue.


    Now she knows Cherry will definitely tease her.


    "Hmm... why are your so worried about our boss? Is there something you are not telling me Stacey?


    Spill the beans because I am all ears!"


    Stacey looked at her with a small smile. She has no intention of telling her how she misses Nick and


    how worried-sick she is.


    "Anyway! Don''t upset yourself! I will answer all your questions because I don''t want you fretting." she


    teased again.


    Stacey sighed then said, "Please Cherry, don''t magnify things. I was just curious since I am new here. I


    asked such questions so I can adjust faster. " she tried to make up an excuse.


    "Duh! What do you mean by adjusting faster? Nonsense! I know that you are keeping something from


    me but let''s y it your way for the meantime. You can''t me me if I overthink. Sir Nick had your table


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    moved to his private office which is really very surprising! If I made a mistake before when I thought


    that you are his girlfriend pretending to be his secretary to watch over us, this time, I am positive that


    sooner orter you will be a couple! I bet my three months sry on that! "


    Stacey sighed heavily while shaking her head. She is afraid that every one in the office will talk about


    her and Nick. Cherry is nice but a real gossip.


    "Cherry, I told you that I have a boyfriend and besides, I am not Mr. Alcantara''s type. He just wants to


    make sure that I do my job right that''s why he had my table moved.." she tried to make the secretary


    believe her. Thest thing she wants is people gossiping about her and Nick.


    "Okay! I will pretend I believe you!" the other woman said with a beam which made her sigh heavily.


    "So to answer your questions, yes this is the first time sir Nick cancelled a meeting in the morning. He


    didn''t say if he''sing today or not. He is neverte and he has never been absent that''s why this is


    all new to me. " Cherry said with a slight frown.


    She just pouted but didn''t say anything.


    (A few hourster)


    "Are you okay Stacey? You have been ncing at your watch repeatedly." Cherry asked.


    She chewed the bottom of her lip. It''s already 11 AM and there is no sign of Nick. He didn''t call back


    either. She wants to give him a call but she won''t.


    "If you are hungry, you can go ahead and eat lunch. I will just finish replying to this email then I will


    have lunch too. " Cherry said while tapping away at her keyboard.


    "No, I''m fine. I am not hungry." she said in a small voice.


    She doesn''t want to leave the office in case Nick decided toe. Cherry just shrugged her shoulders


    and said okay. After that , they just continued doing their tasks.


    The door suddenly opened and Cherry looked up. Stacey frowned when she saw the secretary''s mouth


    formed an O sound with her eyes wide. She turned around to see who arrived. Her heart skipped a


    beat when she saw the neers.


    Heather has her arms snaked around Nick''s left one . She has a malicious smile on her pretty face


    while Nick is poker-faced.

 Chapter 51

    Chapter 51


    (About 10 minutes ago)


    Nick didn''t have any ns of going to work because he has a hangover and hecks sleep but he


    wants to see Stacey. He misses her beautiful face, her sweet voice and wonderful smell. She uses


    different types of perfume which for him really go well with her. He goes crazier when he smells her. His


    woman had really cast a spell on him. She is his beautiful and very desirable enchantress.


    He is very excited to see her but he has to remember what Billy taught him. He is quite skeptical to do


    them but his friend assured him that they are going to be effective. Billy said that women are also like


    men in some ways. They also like challenges. Stacey might get tired of him if he always shows her how


    crazy he is about her.


    I can''t wait until youe willingly to me honey and tell me how much you miss and want me too.I just


    hope that I can control my urge to hold and kiss you. He murmured to himself with a sexy grin.


    He was about to enter the building when he heard Heather''s voice.


    "Lovey!"


    Frowning, he turned to look at her. She is all smiles as she walks to him. She is wearing a ck slinky


    sleeveless top and white tight-fitting pair of pants which match her strappy high-heeled shoes. Heather


    is also attractive but her attitude spoils it. She raised a brown paper bag which she is carrying. Looks


    like she brought some food. He almost groaned in frustration. Stacey''s sister can''t really take a no. He


    told her many times that he is not interested in her. Last night, he wanted to tell her how he feels about


    her sister but he didn''t because he wanted Stacey to tell her instead. He saw how Heather glowered at


    Stacey and he is hoping that the hostility between them won''t get worse once Heather learned about


    him and her sister but maybe it''s like asking for the moon. He just swallowed a sigh.


    "What are you doing here?" he asked her.


    "Good morning Lovey! I cooked for you." She said . She is now near him. She touched his arm and


    smiled seductively at him.


    Some of his employees said good morning to him and he greeted them back. He removed Heather''s


    hand on his arm and pulled her to the corner of the lobby. They are attracting a lot of attention already.


    Some of the women he bedded once used to go to his office too especially the ones who wanted more


    than one fuck but he didn''t care if people in the building saw them . But this time it''s different. He


    doesn''t want Stacey''s opinion of him gets even worse .


    "You just can''te here unannounced." he said curtly.


    Heather has a childish pout on her lips while saying, "But lovey ,I didn''t have time to cook and bring you


    lunch before but since I don''t have to be at the university today, I cooked for you. I woke up early to


    make this. It''s my specialty, pasta puttanesca."


    Nick knitted his brows. He has no choice but to bring her to his office. Whether he likes it or not, she is


    still Stacey''s sister and he has to be at least civil to her. But he has to keep her at bay because Heather


    is very aggressive.


    "Look Heather, I just want to make things clear again. Since your sister Stacey is one of my employees,


    I have to be nice to you. But as I have said before, I am not looking for a girlfriend okay? So don''t forget


    that we can''t have any sort of rtionship like the kind you want ."he said matter-of-factly but Heather


    ignored what he said.


    She touched his arm again before saying, "Let''s go to your office. It''s almost lunch time.I don''t want you


    to eat cold pasta."


    He just shook his head in defeat.He knows how stubborn she can be. He got the paper bag from her


    then led her to the lift.


    ***


    He almost knitted his brows when he saw the shock on Stacey''s pretty face when her eyes went to


    them. At first, he thought of removing Heather''s arm from his but he changed his mind. He can test if


    Stacey will get jealous. He remembered Billy''s advice and decided to give it a go .


    (Stacey)


    She tore her eyes from the pair and pretended to be busy again with what she was doing. She is trying


    very hard not so show any emotions on her face. She doesn''t know how she feels exactly. A part of her


    wants to cry , another part wants to get angry and be violent.


    "G-Good morning sir." She heard Cherry said.


    "Good morning Miss Mendez. Can you bring some tes and forks inside my office? " Nick asked.


    "Okay sir." his secretary responded.


    She knows that Nick came closer because she has goose bumps when he gets near her, just like


    Derick.


    "Hi sissy." Heather sweetly greeted her.


    She closed her eyes for a few seconds and fixed a smile on her lips before looking at them. If she didn''t


    know her sister better, she would have believed that she sounded happy to see her. She threw both of


    them a nce and just said hi before returning her eyes to herptop again.


    "Your sister brought food, want to join us?" Nick asked.


    "Lovey! I only cooked for you and me! I don''t think there is enough for three people and besides Stacey


    doesn''t like pasta." Heather hurriedly said.


    Stacey frowned. Heather knows that she loves pasta. But naturally she will lie because she wants Nick


    all to herself.


    Without looking at them, " It''s okay sir. I am not hungry anyway and Heather prepared that especially


    for you. Though she just warmed the store-bought sauce and asked our helper to boil the pasta, for her


    that is a lot of effort already so just finish everything to show your appreciation." she said tonelessly .


    She swallowed a smile because she knows that her bitchy sister is pissed because she exposed her.


    "Sir, I have the utensils here." came Cherry''s voice.


    She didn''t raise her head to look at them. She just stood up and got her bag and rushed outside when


    she heard Nick''s door closed.


    She cried in the bathroom.


    She was nning to talk to Nick about them this morning but she was so shocked to see hime


    with Heather. They probably talked about her sister making lunch for him today.


    "Maybe this is a sign that I should just stay with Derick. " she told herself while wiping her face with a


    tissue.


    Never again will she let Nick persuade her to have a rtionship with him. He and Heather are a good


    match. They belong together. Nick is not the kind of guy who will waste his time on one woman


    especially someone like her who is so indecisive. There are too many willing women to be his.Probably


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    he thinks that she is ying hard to get.


    She looked at herself in the mirror and said," A man like him falling for a nobody like me only happens


    in movies so I better wake up and face reality."


    She retouched her make-up and made sure that she looks good before stepping out of the restroom.


    She wants to look unaffected. She is past caring . She will just focus on her task at work. She almost


    gaped when she saw who ising towards the male restroom opposite the female''s.


    "Miss Stacey Ledesma?" Asked Jim with a creased forehead.


    She tried topose herself before nodding. "Mr.Enriquez." she said his name in a cold voice.


    She had never forgotten what he said to her during their meeting at Tyler''s office.


    "What are you doing here?" he asked.


    "I work here." she said in an expressionless tone.


    His eyes widened then he shook his head.


    "Well,I''ll be damned!" he said with a smirk before he ran his eyes from her lovely face down her body.


    She narrowed her eyes and balled her hands on her sides.


    "Now I know why Nick transferred me to another branch. " he said as if to himself.


    "And why would he do that, if I may ask?" she asked with a frown.


    "Because of OU." he answered while he leered at her. "You must be really special that he threw away


    our years of friendship for you." he said maliciously.


    "I BEG YOUR PARDON?" she asked through gritted teeth.


    Jim just released a heavy sigh and smiled.


    "Well I better stop holding grudges against him for what he did. Though I saw you first, I am sure that


    just like old times, after he got tired of you, he will let me have you. And if Nick went all this way to have


    you..you must be really worth it so I am willing to wait." he said while his eyes eat her.


    She felt her cheeks burn because of anger so she moved forward to p him hard on the cheek. She


    then stepped backwards while looking at him with hatred. She gaped when he pulled her to him. Before


    she could react, he kissed her on the lips.


    "MMMMMPPP!!" she protested while doing her best to free herself from him.


    "JIM!!!"


    Stacey heard Nick''s furious voice and then Jim was violently pulled away from her.

 Chapter 52

    Chapter 52


    (Stacey)


    With her hand on her mouth, she hurriedly stepped back away from them. Nick dragged Jim by the


    cor and mmed his back on the wall near the female''s restroom. He punched thetter''s face


    several times while repeatedly cursing.


    "N-Nick!" Jim protested while trying to cover his face.


    She called Nick''s name but he kept on smacking his friend''s face.


    "Sir!" Cherry called out .


    Heather is behind her with her eyes wide while witnessing what''s happening. Stacey has her hand on


    her chest. Her heart is thumping. She weakly leaned her back on the wall. This is the first time she saw


    how violent Nick can be when provoked.


    (Nick)


    He stopped punching Jim''s face which is covered with blood but he encircled his throat with his right


    hand.


    "Next time you go near her or worsty a finger on her, I will fucking throttle you after I beat you!" He


    threatened. His voice sounds really menacing.


    He punched him one more time on the abdomen before shoving him to the ground. He then turned


    around and his eyes searched for Stacey who looks scared to death in one corner with her back on the


    wall. He silently cursed while walking to her. She is still in shock and she didn''t even react when he


    held her hand to bring her to his office.


    "Lovey!" came Heather''s voice.


    "Sir!" Cherry called.


    He looked sharply at them as if saying not to meddle.


    "Call thepany doctor to tend to that bastard!" he said to his secretary.


    "Lovey.." Heather began to say something but he cut her short.


    " Go home!" he said curtly before heading to his office while pulling Stacey with him.


    Once inside his office, he locked the door. He cupped Stacey''s face.She still looks a little pale.


    "Honey? Are you okay?"he asked worriedly.


    (Stacey)


    Her hands went up to the back of Nick''s which are on either side of her face.


    "I-I''m f-fine.." She said in a small voice. It sounded shaky.


    "I''m sorry that you have to see all that. That bastard will never be in the same room with you! I will


    make sure that he won''te near you! " he said before pulling out his handkerchief from his pocket


    and wiped her lips firmly but gently.


    She just stood there as she stares at his tie. She is avoiding looking at his handsome face because she


    feels that he is absolutely seething. He just probably doesn''t want to scare her more so he is trying


    hard not to show his emotion.


    After wiping her lips, he pulled her towards him. He hugged her while his lips kissed her forehead. Still


    no reaction from her. She just let him hold her while her hands are on her side.What Jim said kept on


    ying inside her head.


    "I am sure that just like old times, after he got tired of you, he will let me have you. "


    "Let go!" With all her force she pushed Nick from her.


    "Honey? What''s wrong? " He asked and his eyes are full of questions.


    "Don''t honey me! Will you just stop it?! Stop all this! I don''t want to be your girlfriend ever!"


    She feels sorry for herself. She is angry, hurt and she wants to hit him but she just turned her back on


    him. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed.


    "Don''t you dare touch me!" she angrily said when she felt his hand on her back.


    She quickly walked to her desk to sit down and cry. She wants to be far away from him as possible.


    She hates him. What Jim said really hurts. At the back of her mind and somewhere in her heart, though


    she hates to admit it, she was hoping that she was different for him.


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    "FUCKING HELL!" Nick angrily uttered through clenched teeth.


    The pain he is feeling is worst than any physical pain he had experienced.Seeing Stacey in such a


    state is tearing something inside him.


    "I will murder that bastard!" his voice sounded like thunder.


    "Stop it! Stop pretending that you really care about me!" Stacey''s voice sounded shrill.


    She stood up and wiped her face with the back of her hand. She is ring at Nick. If he were a man,


    she would beat him up like what he did to that pervert friend of his. They are of the same kind but Nick


    is worse. He looks very attractive and distinguished outside but he is a pig because he passes his


    women to Jim after fucking them. What she is feeling now is even worse than being pped ten times


    on the face. Just when she had finally admitted to herself that she fell for him, she discovered this very


    dark side of him. He did a lot of effort to pursue her but the ugly truth is, she is just one of his women


    who he is willing to share with his pig of a friend. She thought she was special.


    How dare he break her heart? She tried hard to suppress her feelings but she couldn''t...


    In between sobs, she asked angrily," How could you do this? How could you sleep well at night when


    you do very bad things? You let women fall for you then after you had them you do the unthinkable! "


    "What the hell are you saying?!" He asked incredulously while his eyes are like slits.


    "You are really something else! You are evil! You really went to great lengths like pretending to want to


    woo me! For what? So you can fuck me once then give me to your friend?! YOU SICKO!!" she yelled.


    His expression transformed from astounded to murderous and instinctively, she started to step


    backwards but Nick came forward towards her slowly and menacingly.


    "Who told you that fucking lie? JIM?!" he asked furiously


    "How could you be so cruel? Why me? I told you many times that I am not like your women! I almost


    begged you to spare me!" her eyes are full of anger though her voice is trembling.


    When he was a few inches away from her, he stopped moving. His eyes are directly looking at hers.


    "Is that how low you think of me? You judge me so easily. Even criminals are considered innocent until


    proven guilty. I don''t know what came over Jim to tell you that big lie! He ruined our friendship just to


    make me look very bad to you. " his voice sounded genuinely sad and regretful.


    "He told me you transferred him to another branch because you want me for yourself!" she used.


    "That''s partly true! That was one of the reasons but the main reason why I did that is to protect you


    from him! I should not be saying this because I considered him my friend but since he was the one who


    started this then I might as well tell you the truth!"


    He paused and gritted his teeth before continuing.


    "He had been in deep shit many times and I helped him get out of them because his mother begged


    me to! If not for her, I won''t hire Jim! I treated him like a brother though I never approved of his behavior


    especially with women! Some of the women I was once with filed a suit against him. And do you want


    to know why?" he asked. His lips in a thin line.


    She has a pretty good idea why but she just shook her head while looking at him with her eyes wide.


    "Sexual harassment! We offered them an out-of-court settlement and luckily for Jim, they epted." he


    said tly.


    She couldn''t help but swallow.


    GOSH! Why did I believe that scumbag?--she asked herself.


    "I made it clear what I want to all the women I was once with. All of them were of legal age when they


    agreed to do it with me. They know that for me it was just sex, no strings attached. I am a man with a


    healthy sexual appetite but as far as I know, I never slept with a woman who ismitted to another


    man. And it isn''t my fault if some of them lied about their status. " he said in a cold voice.


    (Nick)


    The only time that I became an asshole with a woman is when I took your innocence by mistake


    because I was wrong about you. I really regret doing that until now. I was a dickhead but I really hope


    that you will forgive me once you learn the truth because at this point, I will move heaven and earth just


    to make you mine.--he thought.


    Stacey closed her eyes for a few seconds. When she opened them again, she almost cried again with


    what she saw in Nick''s eyes.


    "I have never told any woman all the things I told you. I never wooed any female before you. I haven''t


    done to anyone everything that I did with you and for you." he confessed.


    "Nick.." she called, her voice sounded sorry.


    She feels guilty. She shouldn''t have listened to Jim. She should have rified things with Nick first


    before using him.


    "It takes a real man to admit how he really feels about a woman.Remember what I told you?Don''t judge


    me base on what you see outside. It''s so unfortunate that you believed Jim easily. I guess all my efforts


    are useless. Now I finally realized that you don''t really give a damn about me." he said in an


    expressionless voice.


    Her tears fell down when he closed the door behind him.

 Chapter 53

    Chapter 53


    She is inside Nick''s office. She decided to finish her designs for the presentation tomorrow She wants


    to avoid Cherry because she knows that she will ask her tons of questions . After Nick left, she cried for


    a few minutes. She is at fault.


    She was chewing at the tip of her pen while thinking when she heard two knocks before it was opened.


    "Hi Stacey!" Cherry greeted her with a wide smile.


    She sighed. She can''t evade the secretary and her questions now.


    "Sir Nick''s driver asked me to give this to you...hmmm..I wonder why he has it? " she said with a


    teasing smile before handing her car key.


    "Remember I left yesterday? I was nning to buy something from the convenience store downstairs


    but they don''t have it so I decided to use my car to go to another one. Unfortunately, when I was about


    to leave the shop, my car acted up so I called sir Nick. He called his driver to get the car and have it


    fixed. I had a very bad headache so I told our boss that I won''t go back to the office. His driver got the


    key from mest night. " she lied as she crossed her fingers.


    She is hoping that Cherry won''t notice that she just made that all up.


    " Okay. But how would you exin what happened a while ago? Sir Nick was your night in shining


    armor! I haven''t seen him so angry but honestly, that was a major turn on!"


    Stacey sighed then stood up to look out the window. She checked the time and she realized that Nick


    has been out for 2 hours already. She is wondering if he wille back to the office. She hopes he


    does.


    " Mr. Enriquez deserved what Mr. Alcantara did to him. It isn''t the first time that I pped him. He said


    something offensive to me so I pped him during our first meeting in my previouspany. " she told


    Cherry.


    "I am not surprised. There has been rumors going around that Mr. Enriquez is a pervert. I am lucky that


    I am not his type. He likes beautiful women like you. I think that is one downside of being gorgeous.


    You attract pervs easily." Cherry said with a giggle which made her shake her head.


    "Beauty runs in your family. Your younger sister is pretty too but I think her personality is far from


    pretty." the secretary snorted.


    "Our mother spoiled her so I am sorry if she was a bit rude to you. "


    "No need to apologize. I understand. It''s just that I feel sorry that you are in a difficult situation."


    Stacey frowned a little. "What do you mean?"


    "Obviously your sister likes sir Nick too. There''s a chance that you will fight over him. I can''t imagine


    being in your shoes. "


    Stacey bit her lower lip but chose not toment.


    Nick never showed up again. It is 5 PM. She decided to go to Eve and ke''s bar. She doesn''t want to


    sulk at home. She looked at her phone only to find out she got not no message or call from Nick nor


    Derick.


    She sighed. She hasn''t seen nor talk to Nick for several hours and she is going to see Derick on Friday


    which is two days from now. She misses both of them but she badly wants to talk to Nick because she


    owes him an apology.


    She made a decision. She will send him a message.


    To: Nick


    Sorry... =(


    After sending the message she dialed Derick''s number but it wasn''t even ringing. She hasn''t talked to


    him since yesterday. He didn''t send her any messages either. With a sigh, she maneuvered her car out


    of the parking lot.

    Billy got off early from work because Nick called him and asked him if they could chill at his unit. Nick


    seldom asks him favors so he immediately said yes. He told her about what Jim did to Stacey. Knowing


    how his friend feels towards Stacey, Jim is lucky that he is still alive.


    "Mate! Are you sure you just want to stay here? Don''t you want to go out?" he asked.


    "No. " Nick replied.


    He is still very much annoyed. Stacey still doesn''t trust him.


    Billy sat across from him and handed him a can of beer. "Sorry mate. I only have beer. "


    Nick just nodded.


    "Jim is unbelievable. He tainted you. How could he do such a thing?" Billy asked while shaking his


    head.


    "I think I need to do more effort, if that''s possible, to show Stacey that I will never do that to her." Nick


    said before gulping some beer.


    "Look mate! I think it''s best if you let Stacey do the first move this time. Let her miss you!" Billy said with


    augh.


    Nick chuckled." I''ll try."


    "Don''t try mate! Just do it!"


    Nick shook his head while still smiling. He then got his phone. His smile became wider.


    Stacey messaged him. His woman said sorry.


    With satisfaction, he gulped down the remaining beer . This is what he was waiting for. He wanted her


    to reach out to him first. He is satisfied to know that finally she realized that Jim told her pack of lies.


    "Dang mate! I know that grin. Your Stacey sent you a message! Don''t tell me you will easily give in?"


    "Fuck off Billy!" he said with a chuckle and dialed Stacey''s number.


    "Wooot!! Nick Alcantara is in-love!!"


    Nick, while grinning, threw his can at Billy but he caught it.


    "Hello." Stacey''s husky voice answered.


    He felt his dick reacted.He will definitely see her tonight. He''s not drunk so he can still drive. But his


    brows creased when he heard that there''s music on the background and he can hear people talking.He


    furiously stood up which surprised Billy.


    "Where are you?" he asked angrily.


    (Stacey)


    She bit her bottom lip.


    She feels happy that finally Nick called her but now she realized that she made a mistake. She


    shouldn''t have answered his call. Now he will know that she is not home. And what''s worse is she is at


    Eve and ke''s bar. She is dead meat.


    "STACEY!"came Nick''s furious voice.


    She pouted. He is definitely pissed because he called her by her name not honey.


    She was about to answer but then she felt someone''s presence behind her.


    "Miss Hotness, let''s eat." ke said as he leaned forward and put one of his hands on her shoulder. "I


    don''t want you getting hungry." he added before he straightened.


    He moved and sat on the chair opposite her.


    Nick felt blood went up his head.


    FUCKING HELL! What is she doing with that asshole?-- he furiously asked himself.


    "WHERE..ARE...YOU...?" he asked Stacey again.


    Billy was just looking at him with a heavy frown.


    Stacey didn''t answer immediately. Instead she looked at ke. "Give me a minute." she told him and


    she pointed at her phone which is on her left ear.


    ke arched one brow as if to ask who is on the other line. She mouthed, my boss.


    She saw him frown for a second or two but Stacey felt relieved when he stood up from his chair.


    She was about to answer Nick when all of a sudden, ke spoke again.


    "Okay babe...don''t be too long." he said before yfully ruffling her hair.


    Her eyes widened.


    "WHAT THE FUCK??? BABE??!!" Nick rasped.


    "N-Nick..he was..." she was about to tell him that ke was just joking.


    "Don''t you dare go anywhere with that asshole! I''ll be there!" Nick furiously said before hanging up.


    She just sat there in shock for a few moments when she realized what happened. With narrowed eyes,


    she stood up. She will deal with Eve''s cousin.


    ke deliberately made Nick angry.

 Chapter 54

    Chapter 54


    ke and Eve are sitting on the table inside the kitchen when she got in. They both looked up from


    their food. ke pulled a chair for her and she sulkily sat.


    "What''s wrong?" Eve asked while ke put some food on her te.


    "Why the long face Miss Hotness?" he asked with a sexy grin .


    "You deliberately made my boss angry!" she used him.


    He chuckled before saying, "Eat."


    After swallowing her food, Eve asked," And what did my hot cousin did to piss your yummy boss?"


    ke shook his head and said," Beats me why women describe some men as hot and yummy which


    are adjectives more suitable for food "


    Eve just stuck her tongue out at him while she chose not to react orment.


    "You shouldn''t have provoked my boss ke!" She said as she took some of the food.


    "He doesn''t scare me.He acts and talks as if he owns you.Is he your boyfriend?" he asked as he knits


    his brows.


    Stacey opened her mouth to say something but Eve interrupted. "If they are not yet together , I am sure


    that they will be very soon. They look so good together."


    ke made an ugly sound at the back of his throat in disapproval. "And since when did you like


    arrogant and patronizing men, Miss Hotness?"


    She didn''t answer him. Instead she looked at her friend. "Hurry up eating Eve. We have to get out of


    here now. Anyway your performance on stage is 2 hours away. "


    "Why do you need to rush?" with furrowed brows, ke asked.


    Stacey just chewed her bottom lip.ke can give Nick a run for his money. He was a part-time martial


    instructor when he was wooing her. So if they will get physical, she has no clue who will be beaten up


    badly and she doesn''t want to know. ke has a special spot in her heart because he has been nice to


    her even before and Nick... well..


    She sighed.


    She doesn''t want any of them hurt so it''s best that she and Eve go before Nick arrives.


    "I want to have coffee somewhere." she lied. "Let''s use my car Eve! " she added and rose from her


    chair before ke could stop them.


    She almost dragged her friend as they walk to her car. She gave her the key."You drive. I''ll call Nick.


    Let''s go to the cafe three blocks from here."


    ***


    Nick was relieved to know that Stacey wasn''t with the asshole. She is with her friend Eve. It saved him


    from beating him up which could have caused a rift again between him and his woman . She called to


    say where they are.


    After talking for a few minutes over coffee , he asked Billy to use his car to drive Eve back to the bar


    and he on the other hand, will drive Stacey''s car to bring her home. He wants to talk to her somewhere.


    He will just call Billy to pick him up at Stacey''s houseter.


    Now they are in the car parked several meters away from the cafe.


    "Honey.." he called her.


    Stacey swallowed a smile because Nick used his endearment for her again which made her feel giddy.


    She turned to him and she couldn''t help biting her bottom lip because of the way he is looking at her.


    When she saw him open his mouth to say something, she chose to speak first.


    "I''m sorry." she said in a husky voice.


    She looked at him in amazement as his lips broke into a small smile which reaches his eyes and


    lightens them.The look on his handsome face is making her body react. She can feel her nipples


    hardening and she feels a sensation in her most private part. Nick really makes her sexually excited


    especially when they are alone.


    She almost gaped when he pulled her to him by his hand on her nape.


    They both groaned when their lips touched . He encircled his other arm around her to pull her even


    closer. Her hands are on his biceps. They kissed as if they haven''t seen each other for days or even


    weeks. They want to quench their thirst for each other. When his lips went down to her neck, Stacey


    moaned his name.


    Upon hearing his name, Nick returned his lips to hers. He kissed her more passionately because he


    likes the way she called out his name. After a few moments, he broke the kiss and cupped her chin. He


    moved his head back to put a little distance between them. He wants to look at her eyes.


    "That sounds so damn fine,honey.I really like it when you say my name when we kiss or make love." he


    murmured huskily.


    Stacey smiled shyly.


    "I just want you to trust me honey. That''s all I ask. "he said gently before giving her a peck on the lips.


    Now he framed her face and is looking at her lovely features as if he is memorizing it. Stacey dropped


    her eyes. She can''t stand looking at his dark ones. She is afraid she might give her real feelings away.


    She can''t afford to do that. She has stronger feelings for him but she shouldn''t forget that Derick is her


    priority.


    "Nick.." she protested when he gave her light kisses on the lips again.


    She couldn''t move away from him because he wouldn''t let her. She raised her hands to his which are


    holding her face. He chuckled but after a second or two, he released her face.


    "Okay, now we talk." he said. His eyes drinking in her pretty face.


    She pouted. She knows what he wants to talk about.


    "Have you forgotten that you aren''t supposed to go out at night during weekdays?" He asked with a


    heavy frown.


    "It''s still early. I didn''t want to go home yet. We just had dinner." she said after moistening her lips.


    "With that asshole?!" he asked through gritted teeth. Gone is his sexy smile.


    She tried to hold the stare. " Eve was with us."


    Then out of instinct , she moved a little away from him when she saw anger in his eyes.


    "Why the hell did he call you babe?!"


    "N-Nick...he was just joking." she exined and to make it lighter,she let out a quietugh.


    "And why would he make such a fucking joke ?"


    She doesn''t know how to answer that so she just chewed the inside of her cheek.


    "Maybe it''s time for me and that asshole to have our talk." Nick said as if to himself while he balled his


    hands which are on the steering wheel.


    She felt her heart beat faster. "No! What for? ke and I are just friends!"


    "That''s not the impression I gotst time." Nick said while gritting his teeth.He looks very displeased.


    Then she remembered that the two talkedst time when Nick took her home and found ke''s big


    bike outside her step-father''s house. They looked as if they wanted to hurt each other physically. She


    made a mental note to ask ke what he said to Nick which angered him.


    But she wants them to drop the subject of Eve''s cousin. She doesn''t want Nick getting pissed with


    ke again.


    "Let''s not talk about ke. Trust me. He is just a friend."


    Nick raked his hand through his hair and sighed heavily before looking at her again. " I don''t ever want


    to see him near you! Is that clear honey?"


    She nodded.


    "Come here!" he said before pulling her to him again.


    As usual, she felt lost in a wonderful sensation but she has to stop this passionate kiss. She put her


    hand on his arms to push him from her. He didn''t want to release her at first but she made a sound of


    protest against his lips. After a while, he finally freed her lips.


    "What?" he asked looking very displeased.


    She straightened. She sighed deeply to calm her nerves.


    "Nick I want to say something but please don''t be angry."


    His aura became dark again but she has to say it now.She has to muster all the courage she has to say


    what she feels .


    "I think we should stop seeing each other."


    She gasped when he cursed angrily. "Please listen to me first!"


    Nick is breathing in gasps as he controls his rage. "Your exnation had better be good honey.


    Because right now..I am ready to blow a fuse.." he said, his nostrils are ring.


    "I will be honest with you.I really like being with you but can we just have a boss-employee rtionship


    for the meantime? I am sure that all the people in the building know what you did to Mr. Enriquez and I


    don''t want them to gossip about us even more. Let the situation cool down first..please Nick. "


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    In two days she will see Derick and if he will let her see his face, she will say yes to being his girlfriend.


    She loves Nick but she is choosing Derick. It will be more difficult for her if they continue seeing each


    other. She has to convince Nick that what she suggested is for the best.


    His face is impossible to read as he looks at her. But instead ofmenting on what she said, he got


    his phone and dialed it.


    "Nick! Are you even listening to me?" she asked with a heavy frown but he ignored her.


    "Billy! Get directions from Eve. Go to Stacey''s house. I''ll see you there!" he said before starting the


    engine again.


    "Nick?! Did you hear what I said?" she asked with a hint of irritation.


    He didn''t even throw her a nce.


    "I heard you but as I''ve said before, I don''t give a damn what people say but for your peace of mind,


    don''t worry I won''t touch or kiss you in public yet." he said casually.


    "What?! What do you mean?!"


    "I said I won''t touch or kiss you in public yet because you still have inhibitions about that. But you are


    my woman and I like to touch ,kiss and make love to you so I can''t promise that I can control myself ."


    "I am not your woman Nick!!" she yelled.


    He sighed then nced at her for a few seconds before focusing on his driving again.


    "Don''t waste your energy honey. That''s a fact.I think I should be stricter . Look at you. You are acting


    like a spoiled girlfriend. You are my first girlfriend but I will not always let you get your way." he said


    calmly.


    "NICK!!! This is not funny anymore!"


    "If you don''t stop yelling honey, I will pull over and kiss you passionately until you calm down.You are


    almost hysterical." he said while shaking his head.


    She knows that he will do what he said so she just sulkily leaned back on her seat and crossed her


    arms in front of her. She is frowning heavily.


    Nick smiled secretly when he nced at his woman. Now he knows what to say to make her sumb


    to what he wants.


    "What did you eat for dinner honey?" he asked trying to have a small talk .


    His question took her by surprise. She is after all not yet used to his being bipr..


    "Honey?"


    "I don''t know what they call it."


    Nick chuckled.


    "Never eat something you don''t know honey. That could be dangerous." he joked.


    Stacey looked out the window.


    "Same with, never enter a rtionship with someone you don''t really know." she murmured.


    Nick must have heard her because he said, "Remember what I told you before honey? I want you to


    get to know the real me."


    She didn''t say anything anymore after that. They just drove in silence.


    ***


    "We''re here honey. Let me park your car inside. " Nick said when they arrived at her house.


    She frowned. Her mother''s car is in the carport. She doesn''t want Nick to meet her. If Derick is going to


    be her man, she wants her mother to meet him, not her boss. And knowing Nick, she is positive that


    he''ll tell her mother about his intentions.


    "I will do thatter. Let''s just wait for Billy here." she suggested.


    "It will take him more or less twenty minutes to get here. Besides I want to meet your mother."


    "S-She might be asleep already. "


    Nick shrugged. "Let''s check honey. It''s not thatte anyway. "


    "Why do you want to meet her?" she asked.


    She is holding her breath as he looks at her intently before answering. She knows what he is going to


    say but she still wants to hear it.


    He got her hand. "I want her to meet your man." he said while grinning from ear to ear.


    She got her hand back.


    "Stop it Nick! We both know that you are not my boyfriend so don''t tell my mother such a thing!"


    "Okay then. I will just tell her that I am wooing you though we both know that we are past that stage."


    Before she could protest, he pulled her to him.


    He kissed her again on the mouth. This time it''s a very sweet kiss, not the usual French kiss they


    share. She moaned against his lips.


    Then there was a loud tap on the window . She pushed him from her and turned to look at the window.


    She gaped when she saw an angry Heather outside the car. Next to her is their mother who is


    frowning.

 Chapter 55

    Chapter 55


    Amy straightened after tapping the window. Nick noticed that Stacey became all tensed up.


    "Honey are you okay?" he asked her and she just nodded.


    He knows she is not okay and he can sense that something is definitely not right but he cant put his


    finger on it. The frown on the older woman disappeared and she became poker-face. Heather''s scowl


    on the other hand, is still very much visible.


    "We have to get off." Stacey murmured in a sad voice.


    She feels that she something is about to happen after tonight. She didn''t wait for Nick to open her


    door.She got off by herself but Nick still went around the car to go to her and take her hand.She wanted


    to protest but she saw something in his eyes so she just let him hold her hand.


    She can sense the tension even before they got nearer to Heather and their mom. Her sister''s pretty


    face looks really hostile.She has her arms crossed on her chest. Her mother''s face became more


    rxed and she even smiled a little but she is sure that whatever happens tonight, she will always take


    Heather''s side.She just hopes that Nick will not witness anything unusual tonight. Thest thing she


    wants is him discovering her real situation at home. She doesn''t want his pity.


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    "Good evening Mrs. Williams." He greeted and their mother greeted him back.


    "I''m Nick Alcantara ." He extended his right arm for a hand shake while his left hand is on her back.


    Their mother nodded and shook hands with him. She still has a small smile.


    Nick nodded at Heather as a greeting but thetter didn''t even react. She is just looking at him with her


    eyes narrowed.


    "Let''s have coffee inside." her mother offered.


    Nick nodded again and then looked at Stacey. He took her hand again as if reassuring her that all will


    be well. He can''t read her eyes.Somehow she is trying to hide how she feels about all this. One thing is


    definite though. She''s nervous because her hand is cold. He squeezed it then he smiled at her. She


    looked away from him.


    Now they are in the veranda. The rectangr table is for six people. Three chairs are across from each


    other. Nick wanted Stacey to sit next to her so without releasing her hand, he pulled a chair for her. He


    made sure that she sat down first before he settled next to her.


    Heather rolled her eyes before sitting next to their mother.


    "Why are you driving Stacey''s car? Heather told me that you are her sister''s new boss. Stacey didn''t


    tell me about her new job and you." Mrs Williams said with a sad tone.


    But before Nick can answer , Heather said while looking at Stacey, " She hasn''t even told you mom


    about the details of her part-time job before working for Nick. Mom and I knows that she alwayse


    home during the wee hours. My mom should really be stricter with her. She''s too lenient and always


    lets Stacey get away with things. I am just worried mom that if she gets in trouble, you will be really


    distressed.." She turned to their mother for a second or two.


    It''s the usual thing . Heather is making her look bad. But Stacey stopped herself from saying anything.


    If she will react, she is positive that it will do no good. She doesn''t want Nick to witness an ugly


    scenario between her, Heather and their mother.


    "Stacey, I really think that we should talk one of these days." Mrs. Williams said.


    She just nodded to end the topic about her.


    "Mrs. Williams, " came Nick''s voice." To answer your question, Stacey''s car had a minor problem this


    morning so I decided to bring her home.."


    Stacey understands why he said a white lie. This is the first time that someone is on her side especially


    in this kind of situation with her mom and half-sister. She feels safe and secure now that Nick is with


    her.


    "Maybe she did something to her car deliberately so you will take her home. She is very good in


    manipting things and people. Just like what happened this morning." Heather said.


    Stacey''s eyes widened.She knows her sister is bitchy but she is really surprised that she brought up


    that issue.


    "Heather!" Mrs. Williams looked at her younger daughter with a frown.


    Stacey wanted to leave because she knows that her half-sister is provoking her. She didn''t want to look


    at Nick who is sitting quietly next to her.


    "Thank you Nick for taking Stacey home." Her mother said to Nick to divert the topic.


    " You don''t have to say thank you Mrs. Williams. I want Stacey to be always safe." He replied before


    turning to look at her.


    Stacey nced at him for a few seconds before dropping her eyes to herp. She could sense that


    what he is going to say next will have a very big impact to either her mom or her sister or to both.


    Then all of a sudden they heard Amy''s voice.


    "Hello everybody! Here''s the coffee." the help came in.


    She put down the tray with four cups of coffee.


    After serving them the coffee, she asked while looking giddy. " Miss Pretty, is Mr. Handsome asking


    your mom for you hand already?"


    "Amy! Go back to the kitchen now!!!" an angry Heather said before Stacey could react and reply.


    Amy rolled her eyes before walking away and Heather just snorted.


    There was silence for a few moments after Amy left. It was Nick who broke it.


    "I am d that finally I met you Mrs. Williams."


    "You can call me Sofia, Nick."


    "Thank you Sofia. I know it is our first time to meet but I want to say something to you. I am hoping that


    you won''t get mad. "


    "What is it?" Her mother''s voice sounds really curious although Stacey thinks that she probably has a


    hint of what Nick is about to say.


    "Your daughter is very special to me and I want to woo her."


    Her mother didn''tment. She just nodded slightly. It was Heather of course who reacted a bit too


    much as usual.


    "WHAT?!!"


    Her half-sister stood up angrily which didn''t surprise her nor Nick.


    "Sit down Heather!" their mother ordered in a firm voice.


    But as expected, Heather just ignored her. Instead she red at her then at Nick.


    "Is this some kind of a stupid joke??!"


    Nick is watching Heather''s reaction like a hawk but said nothing.


    "Heather please sit down." This time their mother''s voice is a bit coaxing.


    This is what Stacey has been dreading to happen. She didn''t want Nick to meet her mother because of


    Heather. Surely thetter will not take what Nick said sitting down. Heather wants him for herself.


    "May I ask why you think that this is all a joke?" Nick asked with his eyes narrowed. He has his arms


    crossed on his chest as he sits.


    "Because you can''t want someone like her!" Heather grated as she transferred her angry eyes to


    Stacey.


    Stacey had no choice but to look at her while their mother stood up.


    "Heather, sweetie, please do stop. We have a guest so please...." she pleaded.


    "And why wouldn''t I want someone like your sister? What is it about her that I wouldn''t like? As far as I


    am concerned, she has everything I want in a woman...and more." Nick said seriously which fueled up


    Heather''s anger.


    Stacey looked at him with her eyes wide. What he said blew her away. Her heart started thumping.


    "Then you are a fool Nick! She is not what you think she is! Looks can be deceiving! She is really an


    expert in manipting people especially men!"


    Angrily, Stacey also stood up and faced her sister. She feels that she must do something to stop her if


    their mother can''t.


    "Shut up Heather! You really will stoop this low just to get what you want?" she asked her tone cold but


    she is trying very hard not to cry.


    She wanted the ground to swallow her because she is so ashamed. What must Nick be thinking now


    about her and her family?


    "Stacey, stop now. I will talk to your sister privately." Mrs. Williams begged.


    "Why do you want me to shut up? Because you don''t want Nick to discover your true color?You can''t


    hide what you really are forever! Look at what happened this morning! Nick had beaten up his friend


    because of you!" she yelled.


    "You make it sound as if I wanted that pervert to do such a filthy thing to me! You don''t even know what


    really happened!" she almost yelled back.


    "Stacey! I said stop it! Don''t make the situation worse!" their mother reprimanded her.


    Stacey felt Nick touched her back as if to show that he is on her side. He is now standing close to her.


    "Well you probably deserved what he said or did to you!" Heather raged.


    "That''s enough Heather! I saw what happened and I won''t let anyone disrespect Stacey not even a


    friend of mine! " Nick said in a steely voice.


    "Well she got what she deserved! Do you really want someone like her to be your girlfriend?What will


    your family say if they learned that you are going out with a woman like her? Do you know that she


    posed for a men''s magazine almost naked?!" Heather asked Nick. Triumph in her eyes when she saw


    Stacey''s face lost color.

 Chapter 56

    Chapter 56


    Stacey couldn''t believe that her sister will say something about the photo shoot. It is a good thing that


    Nick knows about it because if not she will probably die of shame.


    Mrs. Williams just shook her head but didn''t make ament.


    Heather slowly tore her eyes from Stacey and looked at Nick who has a grim expression. She jutted out


    her chin before speaking again.


    "She doesn''t have any inhibitions about showing her body to men. Is that the kind of woman you


    want?"


    That made Stacey snapped. She took one of the coffee porcin set on the table then she threw the


    milk inside it to Heather''s face.


    "STACEY!" their mother eximed.


    "YOU BITCH!!" Heather angrily wiped her face with her hand.


    "You should be thankful that it''s just the cream not the hot coffee! I should have thrown the coffee


    instead to scald your thick face! How dare you say that?! We all know that I was forced to do that


    pictorial because of you!" she used. Her voice is shaking.


    "Honey.." She heard Nick''s gentle voice before he took her hand to hold it firmly.


    Without saying it, she feels that he wants her to know that he is here for her.


    "Look how barbaric you can be! You really want to hurt me physically?! At least now Nick realized that


    you have an evil side!" Heather furiously said before getting the napkin their mother handed.


    "Stacey! How could you do such a thing to your sister?! Since when did you start getting violent?! That


    is so unbing! " Mrs. Williams said angrily.


    When Nick pulled her closer to him, she felt safe and braver. It is high time that she defend herself. She


    has no reason to feel ashamed because he already knows about the photos. She wants him to know


    the real reason why she posed for Not Eye Candy magazine.


    "Ma..you know what I have been through because of Heather right?I was expecting that after Be told


    us what kind of magazine I was posing for, you will help me back out. But as usual, you were more


    concerned about Heather. I understand that you didn''t want her to go behind bars but you would really


    let me do such a thing just to save her. What is more painful is tyou didn''t even take my side when I got


    angry at her because she didn''t even say thank you to me after what I did for her. I really mean nothing


    to you. " her voice is shaking and she is on the verge of crying.


    Her mother looks teary-eyed but didn''t say anything.


    "So if you had your choice you would let me go to jail?! " Heather used her.


    Stacey looked at her but she seems not to really see her. She felt all the pain of the paste back


    again.


    " I have always been the sacrificialmb. When we were kids, mom scolded me all the time when you


    did something mischievous. I was always told that even if it was your fault, I should always understand


    you because I am older. I epted everything because I owe your dad a lot. He was genuinely nice to


    me and he loves mom very much. I tried to forget how you got me in trouble many times. But what


    happened recently is by far the worst one. I bet my life on it that you nned everything. You wanted


    me to be in apromising situation so you are the evil one! I hope you''d soon realized everything you


    did to me.I tried very hard to be a good sister to you but it was useless. I finally give up.." she said and


    her tears finally fell down.


    Nick wrapped his arms around her and he just let her cry on his chest.He has a pensive expression. He


    looked first at Mrs. Williams then at Heather.


    He didn''t know about Stacey''s situation. He is more determined to take care of her now.


    "Oh puh-leeze! Not another drama from you! "Heather rolled her eyes." Nick! Don''t tell me that you


    believe all her lies? You still want her knowing that a lot of men drool over her almost naked photos?"


    Stacey felt Nick''s body tensed but she didn''t raise her face. He has his hands around her as if trying to


    protect her from her own family.


    "No other men saw nor can see her body but me because I bought all the issues of that magazine."he


    said chillingly.


    That made Stacey raise her face and look at him then at her mom and half-sister. She saw shock


    registered on their faces.


    When she returned her eyes to Nick, he lowered his head and looked at her intently.


    "I did the right thing for Stacey . It saddens me and at the same time angers me knowing that she did


    that to save an ungrateful person." he said in a cold voice. He tore his eyes from her and straightened


    to look at their mother. "Mrs. Williams, after learning the truth, I believe that Heather never considered


    Stacey as a sister even for a minute."


    Heather snorted.


    "Stacey.." her mother called her in a small voice with a hint of sadness.


    "Wow! You seeded in brainwashing Nick chubi! (bitch) Are you happy now? You have your knight


    and shining armor ! Hooray for you! All your ns actually worked!" she said sarcastically.


    "She didn''t brainwash me. She doesn''t need to do that. Your sister has a lot of good qualities half of


    which, you will never have in this lifetime." he said in an arctic tone and Heather gasped.


    "Nick!" Mrs. Williams called in a disapproving voice.


    "Nick.."Stacey murmured as her eyes are on him.


    "I apologize again Mrs Williams. Sorry Mrs. Williams but I think Heather needs a serious spanking. She


    has done enough to her own sister. I don''t mean to offend you but if you can''t defend Stacey against


    Heather, I guess it is time for her to leave. I am going to take care of her." "he said seriously.


    Her mother protested at first but eventually gave in. Maybe she thought it is better this way. Heather


    threw a fit after hearing what Nick said but couldn''t do anything . Nick even warned her that he will deal


    with her if she will attempt to do something bad at her either physically or emotionally again. She


    probably knows that Nick is serious but she''s too proud to admit that he scares her.


    But before turning to go she told Stacey in a very cold voice, "Well,e to think of it..my life will be


    better now that you are finally leaving my house!"


    ***


    Everything hasn''t sunk in yet but she is now packing her things. Nick insisted that he helps her pack


    because he didn''t want to leave her even for a minute with Heather around but she asked him to just


    wait in the car.


    Stacey sighed heavily while she tried to close her suitcase. She turned to Amy who helped her pack


    and saw tears falling on her cheeks.


    "Amy, why are you crying?" she asked and moved closer to her.


    " I have mixed feeling Miss Pretty...I feel sad that you are leaving because you are the only nice person


    in this house but I am happy too because finally your prince charming came. Your wicked half-sister will


    not hurt you anymore." she said in between snuffles.


    She sighed then said," Come here Amy."

    Stacey hugged her for a few moments before putting a little space between them.


    "Thank you Amy . You sometimes do and say annoying things but most of the time you make me smile.


    "


    "You are beautiful inside out Miss Pretty so I really want to put a smile on your face to lighten your


    burden. You never deserved to be treated that way. And if you need an assistant please let me know. I


    would rather go with you anywhere even without pay than stay here with your sister. I already have a


    lot of wrinkles because of her! " Amy said with a frown.


    Staceyughed lightly. " You don''t have any wrinkles Amy. You are too young to have them. Please


    promise me that you won''t leave. My mom needs you. Just try to ignore Heather. Who knows one day ,


    she will change. Nothing is impossible you know." she said sounding hopeful.


    ***


    Nick, Billy and her mom are in the living room. They are seated on the sofas. Nick was talking to her


    mom when she came but when he saw her, he stood up. Billy did too. Nick walked to her to get her


    overnight bag. She didn''t bring a lot of her stuff because he said she doesn''t have to. He motioned for


    Billy to help Amy with the other bag.


    "Are you ready to go?" he gently asked her and she just nodded.


    She turned to her mom who is also on her feet too. She slowly moved towards her. She was just


    nning to say goodbye but she hugged her then cried. She on the other hand stopped herself from


    crying too. She loves her mother and she doesn''t want to bear a grudge against her. She is relieved


    because she knows her leaving will make everything lighter. When she felt that her mother wanted to


    say something, she touched her arm gently.


    "Ma, it''s okay. This is for the best. Don''t worry about me . I will be fine. Take care of yourself okay?" she


    said.


    She handed her car keys . "Please say thank you to uncle John for me, Ma. And I am giving you back


    the car."


    Her mother shook her head and didn''t want to get the keys. "No dear. The car is yours. It''s our


    graduation gift to you. "


    " I know Heather hated me more because of it so now you can do what you like with it. I am not going


    to take it with me. You can have it back."


    She took her mother''s hand and put the key on her palm. She is just looking at her sadly.


    ''But what will you use?" her mother asked sounding genuinely worried.


    "Don''t worry Mrs. Williams, I will take care of Stacey. I will make sure that she will have everything she


    needs. ." said Nick.


    ***


    Billy and Amy are walking ahead of them while they are walking hand in hand. Nick never released her


    hand since they went out of the house.


    Before they reached the gate she halted and turned to him.


    "Nick...thank you." she said.


    He stopped walking too and faced her. He also took her other hand.


    "Don''t thank me honey .I only did what I have to. From now on, I will take care of you and no one will


    hurt you again.."


    She chewed her bottom lip. How is she going to tell him that she needs to talk to Derick on Friday and


    her decision hasn''t changed? This is not the right time to talk about that.


    "Please don''t say that. I am not your responsibility." she said which made Nick frown.


    "I called Eve and she said I can stay at her unit. Please just drop me off there." she requested.


    "You are not going to stay with your friend." he said through tight lips.


    "Nick, I can take care of myself. You don''t have to do this. I know you told my mother that you will take


    care of me but you don''t really need to. She won''t know that I am at Eve''s.."


    "I told your mother that I will take care of you because that is what I have been wanting to do for a long


    time now. You are not going to stay with Eve! " he said sounding firm.


    "Where will I stay then?"


    "I am bringing you to my unit. You are going to live with me."

 Chapter 57

    Chapter 57


    "What?!" eximed Stacey and Nick just sighed heavily.


    "Let''s go honey. We can talkter." he said as Billy waved at them.


    "NO! I won''t live with you Nick!"


    "We are not going to discuss this here honey." he said with finality.He pulled her by holding her hand.


    They sat on the back while Billy is on the driver''s seat. She then thought that he was probably right.


    She can''t have Billy hear what she wanted to tell him so she just sat in silence. Several times Nick


    attempted to take her hand but she got it back. She finally gave in when he didn''t stop trying.


    The two men talked about trivial things. Billy tried to have a small talk with her too but Nick said he


    better focus on the road and stop looking at her through the rear view mirror. Billy just chuckled while


    she threw Nick a re which thetter just ignored. She shook her head and sighed before turning her


    head to the view outside the window. She is thinking about what might happen after tonight.


    Living with him is triggering her migraine. It is already difficult for her to fight her feelings for him and


    being in a condo with him will make things even worse . A lot of things happened in a span of a few


    weeks and there is a good chance that she can survive this situation .


    Good luck on your new life.--she told herself.


    She felt jittery when they dropped Billy off at his unit.


    Now it''s just the two of them in the car.The song Rush,Rush by Pa Abdul is ying on the radio.


    She couldn''t exin her feelings. She feels happy, nervous and excited. She dreamed of being in this


    scenario. Having someone sitting next to you and you having a strong feeling that he will be with you


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    through thick and thin. Someone who will bear with you though you keep on fighting your own feelings


    for him. What Nick said to her mother and sister showed that Nick can really take good care of a


    woman. A boyfriend material minus his PTEF''s (Pink Taco''s Extreme Fantasy) image of course . She


    just wished that if they be a couple he will be a one- woman man.


    "Do you want to dine out honey?" he suddenly asked.


    She checked the time. It''s past 9 PM.


    " I am not really hungry. Are you?" she asked him.


    He seemed to be thinking carefully while his eyes are on the road.


    "I''d rather eat something at home.Can you cook honey?" he asked with a smile while he threw her a


    nce.


    She chewed her bottom lip. "I can whip up something if you want. Aren''t you a fussy eater?"


    He shook his head . " Nope. I can''t wait to taste your cooking."


    She tore her eyes from him to look at the windshield to hide her smile. As usual, he looks so damn


    sexy with that grin of his.


    They sound like a couple...she likes that thought. Maybe just for tonight, she will enjoy the feeling and


    moment.


    The condo they went to is not the same one she saw before. She is curious but she doesn''t want to ask


    him how many units he owns. This one is bigger and it also has a very beautiful view outside the


    window. It''s on a higher floor. It has a moderate size kitchen.


    "Let''s bring your things in the bedroom honey." he said as he carried her bags.


    She followed him but she frowned when she saw that the room they entered looks like the master''s


    bedroom. The walls are dark blue. There is a big bed at the center and a small door on the right side.


    There is even a small living room and probably a 75 inches tv on the wall. The blinds covering the


    windows and the sliding door leading to the balcony are a lighter shade of blue.


    "Honey, you can use this drawer right here and this closet."Nick pointed to the closets.


    "And this is the bathroom.." he opened the small door and turned on the light, "..in case you want to


    freshen up first."


    She frowned. "Nick.."


    "This one is the balcony." he then opened the blinds to show her the outside. "Later we can have coffee


    while we view the stars."


    "Go freshen up honey.I am starving." He said while he takes off his shirt.


    Stacey swallowed when she saw his to-die for body once again.


    He took a white shirt and boxer shorts inside one of the closets .


    "Use the bathroom here. I will be using the one outside." He added


    "Wait! Nick! This is your room right? I can''t sleep here with you!"


    He looked at her with a poker face.


    "There are only two rooms here. The other one I use as an office. I will be worried if you will live alone


    in one of my units alone so I want you to live here with me. Don''t worry. I will sleep on the couch in the


    living room if that will make you feel better." he said in a neutral tone before going out.


    Stacey just sighed. She just have to be thankful that he is concerned about her though she can''t hide


    the fact that sooner orter, the people in his office will talk about them once they find out about their


    living arrangement. Then shrugging her shoulders, she decided to take a quick shower too . She just


    has to stop worrying about that now.


    You are in fact an adult Stacey. Why not start being like Nick who doesn''t give a damn about what other


    people think? It''s your life and you are not doing anything wrong..you are both single.Just chill. This is a


    new life remember? She asked herself.


    She is regretful though for having body-hugging sleepwear. She has to get new ones especially now


    that she and her boss are living under the same roof. Her hair is up in a messy ponytail. She has a red


    sleeveless body fit top and white cotton shorts which show her creamy and smooth thighs. She doesn''t


    need any house slippers because the unit has a wall-to-wall carpet .She also noticed that Nick walks


    barefoot indoors. At least he has some habits which are typical of ordinary men .She released a sigh


    again and with one final look at herself in the bathroom mirror, she went out.


    Nick is in the kitchen drinking water . He grinned when he saw her.


    "Ready to cook something honey?" he asked.


    He seems to like blue because the kitchen is dominated by that color . It has the basics like a fridge,a


    hub stove with a small oven. The shelves have some canned goods and instant noodles.


    "You can check the contents of the freezer and fridge. You can cook whatever you want. I will just sit


    here while I watch you." he joked.


    He pulled a chair and sat down on the four- seater table next to the kitchen.


    She tried very hard to ignore him .She feels that as usual, he is running his eyes over her.


    "Can you get me a can of beer honey?" he requested and she just nodded.


    She took some eggs and milk. She saw a medium -sized pack of mushroom.


    "Is omelet okay with you? It is a bitte so a light meal is better." she said.


    She put all the ingredients down on the kitchen counter before going back to the fridge to get his beer.


    "That''s fine honey." he shed his panty-wrecking smile as he got the beer from her. He took hold of


    her hand . Stacey tried to take it back but he doesn''t want to let go.


    She rolled her eyes before saying, " You said you were starving so let me cook."


    He chuckled but released her.


    While she cooked, Nick never removed his eyes from her but she did her best to look unaffected.


    ***


    "That''s the best omelet I ever had honey." heplimented while still at the table.


    "Stop ttering me Nick." shemented as she finished washing the dishes and pan. He offered to


    help but she refused.


    She wiped her hands with a paper towel when she was done. "Do you want coffee now?"


    Nick stood up,"I will do that honey." he said as he got coffee beans from the cab.


    "Are you sure?"


    He beamed at her," I know how to turn on the coffee maker honey."


    Instead of having coffee in the balcony they decided to stay in the living room. He is seated on the long


    sofa. Nick asked her toe closer to him.


    "I want us to feelfortable. Let''s snuggle." he suggested.


    She hates to admit it but she also wants to be near him. After what happened at her house a few hours


    ago, she feels that he is really her knight and shining armor. "Okay . But we will just sit next to each


    other...nothing else."


    He chuckled but nodded then she sat down. He patted the space beside him.


    "Closer honey." he demanded but in a husky voice.


    She moved near him .


    "Lean your head on my shoulder." he added.


    She did.


    He put his arm on her shoulder and inhaled her hair.


    "This is how I imagined my nights since I met you. Sitting here with you and cuddling up." he murmured


    as if to himself.


    She closed her eyes .It feels so good being like this with him.They just sat there without talking. They


    both seem to be savoring being together in such a cozy ce.


    "I think we should call it a night. We have to be up early tomorrow." she suggested after several


    minutes.She''s starting to feel sleepy.


    "Let''s get married honey." Nick said all of a sudden.

 Chapter 58

    Chapter 58


    Stacey removed her head on his shoulder.


    "Are you serious?!!" she asked in a shrill voice.Her eyes wide open.


    He looks cool as a cucumber as he grins at her.


    "I have never been more serious honey." he said in a hoarse voice.


    "Are youpletely out of your mind? FYI! We aren''t even a couple to begin with!" she said as she


    gawks at him.


    Gosh! Is he on drugs or something? She asked herself.


    " I am crazy about you and I will go out of my mind if I will lose you." he sounded serious.


    She put her hand on her chest. The way he said that made her heart beat very fast. She feels giddy


    though very much surprised. She got up from the couch and as if in a trance, walked to the middle of


    the living room.


    She doesn''t know whether to cry orugh hysterically . She feels happy, shocked but a bit sorry too.


    "Honey?" Nick''s voice has a hint of worry. He also stood up to go to her.


    When she felt he moved, she stepped farther to the room before turning around to look at him.


    She motioned for him to stop moving towards her.


    "No Nick! Please don''te any closer." her voice sounded weak.


    She saw him frown but he stoodpletely still.


    "You don''t have to give an answer immediately honey. I''ll give you time to think. But I am dead serious.


    I want us to get married." he said while he looks at her intently.


    "But why?" she asked in a small voice.


    She wanted to scold herself. Does she really want to hear his reason? Wouldn''t that be harder for her?


    "What do you mean why?" his forehead creased.


    She walked towards the window. She stared at the lights on the street. "Nothing. Forget my question."


    she murmured without looking at him.


    He came closer but he didn''t touch her. He also looked out the window.


    "It''ste at night but the life in the city is just beginning. Look at those lights.See how they brighten


    everything?" he asked as if to himself. "Without those beautiful lights , the whole ce will be


    gloomy..lifeless.." he added.


    He turned to face her.His hands still not touching her.His eyes drinking in her lovely face.


    She''s having goose bumps again. Slowly she also looked at him as she embraced herself.


    "Just like me...it took me 30 years to find the beautiful light to make me feel alive.I thought living means


    being sessful in business and being able to have all the things that money can buy....until I met


    you."


    Stacey felt her throat became suddenly dry. She is speechless.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "I have never imagined that I will be saying this...but now that I have you here..I have the sudden


    desire to let you know what and how I feel. I always call this..." His eyes roamed around his condo,"


    ..just my unit...my crib. But now that you are here, I want to call it home."


    This time he touched her.He took her hands. He kissed both of her palms alternately.


    "My world will be dark and hollow ....my life will have no purpose without you now, honey.." he said


    hoarsely.


    Holding her hand in his,he raised them to rub the right side of his face with her left palm.


    Stacey closed her eyes.Her emotions are going wild with what he just said. He took her breath away.


    She wants to pour her feelings too but now is not the right time.


    After everything he said and did for her, especially tonight, she would be the most stupid woman in the


    world if she will let him slip away. But she grew up always having to think of other people first before


    herself. Multiple times she had to forget her own happiness.


    She wants to be with Nick but Derick needs her more.


    Derick has been probably hurt many times which brought about his insecurities .Maybe that''s the


    reason why he doesn''t want her to see him yet. And she gave him her word that she doesn''t care how


    he looks like.


    If she will choose Nick, she feels that Derick will really be broken..shattered...


    Nick can easily get over her if she turns him down...unlike Derick..


    She got her hand from him.


    "Nick..."


    "As I''ve said, I will give you time honey. I can wait. The most important thing is you are already with me


    and I will never let you go ..remember that."


    It sounded like a threat more than a promise.But Stacey isn''t scared. What he said gave her a warm


    feeling.bShe badly wants to tell him that she loves him but there will be no turning back once she said


    those three words.


    She has to constantly think of Derick now. The best thing she can do is try to contact him againter.


    "Tomorrow I want you to meet my family." he added all of a sudden.


    "NO!"


    His face broke into a heavy frown. "What do you mean no? I haven''t introduced any woman to my


    family. You are going to be the first. " his voice sounded chilly.


    She ran the tip of her tongue on her lips. "I mean....it''s too soon. ." she whispered.


    His eyes turned into slits. "I told you that I am giving you time to think about marriage but that doesn''t


    mean that I will take no, for an answer." he said through thin lips.


    "W-What?" she asked nervously.


    Nick''s arrogant self is back because he can''t help it.His woman needs to know that she is going to get


    married to him sooner orter.


    "B-But you don''t even love me. What will you tell your parents if they ask why you are marrying me?"


    Stacey asked with a confused tone.


    She wants to hear him say he loves her. Deep inside she wants to know if the feeling is mutual .Though


    they will probably not end up together, at least she''ll be happy if he will say that he loves her.


    Nick frowned deeper. What exactly does he feel for her? He hasn''t been in-love before so he has no


    clue about love.


    What he knows is, he constantly thinks about her. He always has a desire to make love to her.He wants


    her to be thest person he sees before he sleeps. The first person he touches and looks at when he


    wakes up. Her smell and taste haunt him. He can''t bear the thought of other men wanting her in any


    way.He will badly hurt anyone who will dare show any interest in her. With his money, he can do very


    bad things to assholes who will desire what''s his.


    Fucking hell! Is this love or obsession?He asked himself.


    Stacey has been holding her breath as she awaits his answer. Nick tore his eyes from her then turned


    to his left to look out the window.


    She bit her bottom lip as anticipation builds inside her.


    It''s okay if he doesn''t love me.I''m fine with that . The concern and his desire for me are more than


    enough..--she consoled herself.


    She doesn''t have the right to expect him to say he loves her too. She is being unfair because though


    she has strong feelings for him, she can''t say she loves him.


    She is one crazy woman. She expects so damn much. She''s not even sure if Nick deserves her.


    She stopped looking at his right profile. He looks serious. Her eyes went back to the window too.


    They just stood side by side without talking for a few moments.


    An ambnce passed by. For several seconds, the sound of the siren broke the silence.


    "If they will ask me why I am marrying you.. I will honestly say what I feel..." Nick said as he crossed his


    arms on his chest.


    "What?" she asked almost like she''s talking to herself.


    She turned to him and his eyes went to her too.


    " I am marrying you because I feel and I know that you are the one for me." he said without blinking.


    Stacey doesn''t have a clue on how alluring and seductive she looks with her lips slightly parted and her


    eyes wide as she stares at him.


    " Moments ago, while I was waiting for you in the kitchen, I promised myself that I will not kiss you . I


    want to test myself if I can bear not tasting you...that I am okay with just seeing you or holding your


    hand or smelling your hair...." his voice sounds breathy.


    Her body started to react..."Nick..." she muttered..


    "...to hell with my promise!!" he said through his teeth as he cupped her face with his hands then


    roughly kissed her.

 Chapter 59

    Chapter 59


    Stacey held on to Nick''s arms.


    He kissed her thirstily and she kissed him back wildly. Both of them are making sounds from their


    throats. Her soft body molded against his rock-hard one. He grabbed the back of her head to tilt it back


    so his tongue can enter her mouth deeper. They kissed passionately for a long time.


    When Nick finally ended the kiss, both of them are gasping for breath. She leaned her face on his


    chiseled chest while he is holding the back of her head. His other hand is around her back. She can


    feel his arousal below her breasts. Her nipples are reacting which shows how aroused she is too.


    "Honey.." he murmured on the top of her head.


    "Please tell me if you don''t want to go all the way. Because next time I kiss you again, I know that I


    won''t be able to control myself from taking you." he said throatily.


    She closed her eyes then checked her feelings. She wants to be possessed by him. Though they won''t


    be officially together, she can at least have the chance to experience how it is to be his even for only


    one time. But a part of her is still scared. Nick will be more persistent to make her his if she''ll give


    herself to him.


    What will happen to Derick if that happens? She asked herself.


    "Nick.."


    He loosened his embrace so they can look into each other''s eyes. "You must know how much I desire


    you but I am not going to force you honey. I will wait until you are ready." he said sincerely.


    It''s true that he doesn''t like waiting .But now that she is with him, he can wait. He will make her fall in-


    love with him. One thing is for sure though, he will never let go of her.


    Stacey smiled. "Is that really you sir? Last time I checked, you always insist on what you want." she


    joked.


    He pulled her closer to him again and shed a naughty smile. "I think I am beginning to like hearing


    you call me sir .Maybe you can call me sir when I make love to you."


    Her smiled widened then huskily she said," No sir... please don''t..."


    Nick chuckled then gave her a peck on the cheek, "Now you see the effect you have on me? You are


    slowly changing me honey. " he said.


    She chewed her bottom lip. She knows she shouldn''t y with fire. Nick has been very honest about


    what effect she has on him. But he doesn''t know that she is at his mercy since she is very vulnerable


    when ites to him. Her wanton side wants to tease and seduce him though. Maybe a lot of French


    kiss and petting won''t hurt.


    "You also affect me Nick. Very much so. Can''t you feel them?" she whispered. Her breathing is starting


    to be shallow.


    He narrowed his eyes. He knows what she is talking about. He can feel her hard and delicious n*pples


    between his chest and six-pack. His breathing became ragged.


    "Don''t tease me honey...." he warned.


    DAMN! He cursed inside his head. His woman is deliberately seducing him. His member is throbbing


    from wanting her.


    Stacey moistened her lips with the tip of her pink tongue.


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    " You are the one who is teasing me sir." she said as she pretends to look innocently at him ."You


    always kiss me without a warning Then when you want to stop, you just stop but how about me? What


    if I want you to kiss me longer?" she asked sexily. The Aphrodite in her wants to test her power over


    him.


    "Honey , not unless you want me to ravish you, you better cut that out." he almost hissed.


    She giggled. "Peevish."


    She raised her hands and wrapped her arms on his nape. She also pouted her lips like a child. "Can


    we do petting? Just that. Not all the way. I like our French kiss so much. It''s addictive." she wantonly


    said.She badly wants his kisses. Her cl*t is pulsating from anticipation.


    Nick gasped for some air. His eyes darkened with desire.


    "NO." Nick suddenly said before removing her hands from his nape then moved away from her.


    Stacey gaped . She couldn''t believe her ears. She saw him walked towards the kitchen and opened


    one of the cabs. She slowly walked to where he is. She saw him opening a bottle of alcohol. He


    murmured something angrily before he gulped down the booze. He has his back on her.


    Why did he say no? She asked herself.


    "Nick..."


    He didn''t turn around. He gulped more alcohol.


    "Why? Don''t you want to kiss me? " she asked.


    She saw his back tensed. She almost jumped when he angrily put the ss on the counter. It made a


    loud sound.


    "Dammit honey! Don''t ask me such a stupid question!" he rasped.


    He poured more alcohol into his ss and finished off the liquid. He did that for three more times


    before putting down the ss with a thud.


    "Please for both our sake, go to the bedroom now!" he said angrily as he walks past her. "I need a


    f*cking cold shower!"


    ***


    She feels uneasy. She will apologize to Nick.


    She went in the bathroom to change into her white night dress. It''s not too revealing but it''s still sexy.


    Her smooth thighs are exposed and she is also showing a little cleavage. . She hopes that Nick will not


    think that she''s trying to seduce him again. She has no other sleep wear. She has to go back to her


    uncle John''s house in theing days to get more clothes.


    She tried to call Derick but his phone is unattended. She is beginning to worry again. She sent him a


    text message.


    To: Dee


    How are you? I have been calling you but I can''t reach you. I am worried about you. Call or text me


    when you get this message. I have something important to say. I miss you :(


    She just finished sending the message when she heard the door open. Nick came in. His chest is bare


    and his lower torso is wrapped in a white towel. His hair and broad chest are still wet from his shower.


    Stacey swallowed upon seeing his magnificent body.


    His eyes ran over her body but only for a second or two "I''ll get some clothes. I need a pillow and a


    nket too. " he said in a clipped tone as he proceeded to the closet.


    She sighed heavily. She has to say sorry now. They will be living together and it would be really


    awkward if he stays angry with her. She was about to apologize when he removed his towel. He is only


    in his ck briefs. He hang his towel on the closet''s door. He then pulled out a white undershirt .


    She seems to have been hypnotized. She can''t take his eyes from him. She knows she has to look


    away but she just couldn''t.


    Nick turned and his eyes narrowed when he saw Stacey''s reaction while looking at his body. He then


    decided to put back the undershirt in the closet. He will put it onter. He hid a smile.


    So she is not immune to me after all. He thought.


    It pleasures him knowing that she wants him as much as he wants her. Maybe he can give her a dose


    of her own medicine. Being aroused and not being able to release his desire was painful. His breathing


    became ragged as he looks at her in her sexy sleep wear. Her cleavage looks delicious and her


    creamy thighs look so smooth.


    Well..this will be the survival of the fittest then. He told himself as he felt his d*ck became harder.


    "Do you want to say something honey?" he asked. He leaned his left shoulder on the closet before


    crossing his arms on his bare chest.


    Stacey has a full view of his body. She felt her throat turned dry . She can clearly see his bulge. She


    heard herself asked , "Aren''t you going to put on your pajamas or something? To cover..your.." Then


    she stopped herself.


    Now she is sure that Nick knows she is affected by his body.


    Nick smiled naughtily. "Actually I really sleep in the nude. But since you don''t want us to make love yet,


    I think briefs will do . I don''t want you to be ufortable seeing me naked." he said casually.


    She felt her cl*t reacted and her hole contracted. She tried topose herself. She has to say what


    she practiced. She thought that maybe if she''ll just look at his eyes and not his body, she''ll be able to


    control her desire to be kissed and touched by him.


    " What is it honey?" he shed his panty-wrecking smile again.


    She cleared her throat then looked directly into his eyes. "I''m sorry about what happened.I didn''t mean


    to seduce you. I like what you do to me, really. I do but I can''t give myself to you. Please don''t get


    angry. I don''t want us to argue."


    Nick didn''t say anything. It''s hard for her to imagine what he''s thinking. His handsome face has a nk


    expression. She turned to look out the balcony. She opened the sliding door and stood next to it . She


    hugged herself when the cool breeze touched her face and body. Her back is on Nick. She gaped when


    she felt his lips on her right shoulder. She closed her eyes but didn''t move when his finger went to the


    strap of her night wear. She thought that he will pull it down. She''s didn''t know if she''ll be relieved or


    frustrated when he put it back in ce.


    With onest light kiss on her shoulder, he hugged her from behind. She rested the back of her head


    on his chest. His arms are under her breasts.


    They are both looking at the stars in the dark sky.


    He kissed the top of her head. "Sorry too honey. I was a little harsh with you. I had to take a cold


    shower longer than usual." he murmured.


    She smiled. " We are like a real couple... we always bicker." shemented.


    Nick chuckled. "But I like it honey. I like being with you." he said huskily.


    He turned her to him. "I promise that I will control my body''s desire but only if you swear not to seduce


    me too much." he said almost like a plea.


    He held her face with his hands.


    "You are so damn beautiful honey...and you are mine...never forget that..all mine.." he said in a hoarse


    voice.


    Stacey blinked.


    He really sounds like Derick when he speaks like that. She thought.


    His lips went down to hers for several seconds before pulled them back again . He sighed.


    "You can take a rest now honey. I will just get my pillow and nket . See you in the morning." he


    reluctantly released her.


    When he was about to go, she stopped him. She touched one of his arms. She wants to do this.


    He turned and with a frown he asked, "What is it honey?"


    She let out a heavy sigh.


    Good luck to me! Here goes...she thought.


    "N-Nick, sleep on the bed with me." she whispered.

 Chapter 60

    Chapter 60


    "Honey?" he murmured her name with a slight frown on his face.


    He''s not sure if he heard her correctly. She has her head raised a little to meet his eyes. He saw


    different emotions y in them which made her look more enchanting.


    Uncertainty, confusion, longing and definitely desire.


    He came closer to her. He gently ran the side of his index finger along her smooth cheek.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Say that again honey."


    Stacey slightly opened her mouth and blinked twice. She feels that this is the most difficult decision she


    has to make in her whole life. Controlling how she feels is really difficult. She wants to do the right thing


    but what is the right thing anyway?


    She lowered her head but Nick took hold of her chin. She raised her face . She bit her bottom lip. She


    doesn''t know if she can repeat what she said.


    "Honey? Did I hear you correctly? You want me to sleep on the bed with you?"Nick asked huskily.He is


    eating her with his eyes.


    She closed her eyes.


    I love you! She thought.


    She felt his hands on the side of her face. With onest sigh, she opened her eyes then nodded.


    "Fucking hell..." Nick murmured in disbelief. He feels gratified that his woman said what he has been


    dreaming of.


    Stacey frowned. She clearly heard what he said. " Nick!" sheined. She removed his hands and


    angrily walked to the direction of the bed.


    Nick on the other hand seems to be in shock. He stood there just looking at her.


    "You need not curse, you know. If you don''t want to sleep on the bed with me then don''t!" she said


    while she puts her cellphone on the side table next to the bed.


    She yelped when she felt his arms around her.


    He is hugging her from behind. He is now kissing her nape then the side of her neck. She can feel him


    sucking her skin a little. What he''s doing is really making her wet down there.


    "N-Nick.." she moaned.


    "Honey..." he murmured as he nibbles her earlobe.


    "I--I -thought..you ..don''t..want..to.." she moaned as he continued what he was doing to her.


    Now his palms are cupping her breasts. He didn''t answer just groaned while he started to knead her


    t*ts through her nightwear. He doesn''t need to say anything .He will make her feel how much he wants


    her.


    Stacey can feel his hard manhood poking her back. Then she thought of something. I can give him a


    blow job instead of letting him take me.


    Having oral sex is better than pration. It is the lesser of the two evil. She felt excited when she


    imagined his massive thing inside her mouth while she sucks him. She doesn''t care now if she


    behaves and thinks like a wanton hussy. Tonight she wants to lose her inhibition. She wants to be


    Nick''s g. She turned her body to face him. He is breathing shallowly and his eyes are molten.


    She started to rub his member under his briefs with her right hand.


    Nick made a sound at the back of his throat. "Honey..."


    She moistened her lips.


    "Nick.." she called as she slid her hand inside his briefs .His body stiffened.


    "I want you in my mouth." she said huskily.


    He suddenly opened his eyes. His breathing is ragged . His eyes are narrowed. They seem to be


    asking her if she meant what she just said.


    She took in some air before saying." Can we pleasure each other orally? No pration? You


    see.....NICK!!"


    She wasn''t able to finish what she was saying because he swiftlyid her on the bed.


    He trapped her hands above her head while he kisses her mouth wildly. Both of them are making


    animal sounds as they share a mind-blowing kiss.


    Now his lips are on her neck. Stacey can feel his wet tongue on her skin. She is wriggling her body and


    is continuously moaning from pleasure.


    Nick released her hands so he can pull down the strap of her nightwear.


    "I will suck your tits honey.." he said hoarsely which reminded her of Derick.


    Stacey frowned a little but eventually took her mind off Derick when Nick started to suck and lick her


    n*pples . Then he pulled up her wear expose her t and smooth stomach to kiss it. She arched her


    back as his tongue licks her belly button.


    When Nick first attempted to eat her p*ssy, she felt really embarrassed But tonight, her body is


    shouting for release. She will let him do what he wants with her private part as long as he won''t stick


    his d*ck inside. She covered her eyes with her hands when she felt him removed her thong.


    She heard him murmured something inaudible then felt his warm breath on her inner thighs. Nick


    parted her legs.


    She gripped the covers with her hands when his wet tongue touched her sl*t. She bit her lower lip as


    he keeps on swirling his tongue around her cl*t. She tried to stifle a moan but what he''s doing is too


    sexually pleasurable.


    Nick lifted his head a little as his fingers took over what his tongue was doing. He wants to see her


    expression and reaction as he loves her with his tongue and fingers.


    His desire sky-rocketed when he saw her licking and sucking her index finger as she moans. She has


    her eyes closed.


    With a groan he ducked his head again to continue what he was doing. This time the movement of his


    tongue became faster .He licked and sucked her. Now he is tongue-fucking her warm and delicious


    hole.


    "Ohhhhh Nick....." Stacey made a low sound and she felt her body trembled as she reached her big O.


    Nick smiled as he swallowed all her juice.


    DAMN! She really tastes so sweet! He thought.


    After licking her dry, he slowly went up, kissing her tummy then her breasts. He sucked and licked her


    right then left nipple and finally his lips found her lips too.


    Stacey held the back of his head with her hands as they do their French kiss. After a while he pulled


    back to lovingly look at her.


    She is lovelier with the expression she has on her face. She is smiling at him. A small but sexy as hell


    smile.


    "You liked that honey?" he asked in a throaty voice.


    She nodded. She held his face with her hands.


    "Nick I want to return the favor....let me suck you." she whispered.


    His breathing hitched as he looks at her . "Honey..you don''t have to do that if you don''t want to. I


    pleasured you because I really ....wanted to taste you..." he said in a croaky voice. He almost said


    again.


    Her face turned crimson but she smiled. "I want to do it Nick. I really do. I want to swirl my tongue


    around its tip." she huskily said.


    A sexy grin broke his lips.


    "Sometimes you say the most arousing words honey..." he said then his tongue prated her mouth


    for several seconds before lifting his body from hers. He then lied on his back.


    "You can do want you want with me honey..especially with it...all yours.." he said with a naughty smile.


    He ced his arms behind his head but his eyes never left hers.


    She smiled seductively as she positioned herself on top of him. She straddled him. She can feel his


    dick against her sl*t. The feeling is so deliciously sexual.


    Then she lowered herself to kiss his neck.


    She felt him caught his breath as her lips trace his chest then down his n*pples. His skin is firm but


    smooth. She did what he did to her breasts. She sucked his n*pples.


    "SHIT HONEY...." he groaned.


    She felt his hands touched her shoulders. She raised her head and took hold of his hands.


    She pinned them on his sides. "No touch!" she said huskily.


    "Okay.." he said in a breathy voice.


    She is looking at him seductively. She straightened as she slowly took off her nightwear.


    Nick''s eyes narrowed as he stares at her t*ts.


    "I said no touch!" Stacey reminded him when he seems to be raising his arms so he can touch her


    mountains.


    He sighed and positioned his arms back on his sides.


    She then ducked her head again. This time she let her wet tongue ran on his six pack. Kissing every


    inch.


    When she reached his bulge, she bit her bottom lip.

 Chapter 61

    Chapter 61


    Nick swallowed when his woman said that. She looks so fucking beautiful and seductive while she has


    her bottom lip between her teeth. Her eyes are feasting on his c*ck while she has it in her hands.


    GOSH! I am such a lucky woman! It''s long and thick and it is all mine even just for tonight! Stacey


    muttered to herself.


    She is moving her hand up and down its length. It looks so sexually yummy. Without wasting another


    second, she slowly swirled her tongue around its tip.


    She groaned. It tastes so sinfully good!


    She made the right decision. They will both enjoy each other tonight.


    The moment that Nick felt her wet tongue on his sh*ft, he cursed due to pleasure and pain.He wants to


    savor this moment so he will try to dy his release as long as he can.


    DAMMIT! She is good with what she''s doing! He told himself as she runs her tongue on its tip while her


    hand around it goes up and down .


    If he didn''t know that she was a virgin , he would have gone ballistic thinking that she had done this to


    other men.


    If Nick is enjoying what she is doing to him, Stacey is enjoying every moment too.


    Nick''s sh*ft is so smooth and she loves feeling it with her tongue. Her tongue is in sync with the


    movement of her hand around it.


    "Fuck honey!" Nick groaned when she made sucking sounds.


    He doesn''t know if he''s going tost much longer. He has been longing to have her and her


    unexpected but definitely pleasurable suggestion almost drove him crazy.


    "Honey... I am going toe.." he moaned as he grasps the bed sheet.


    She just moaned then try to give him a deep throat but of course it won''t fit. It''s too long and thick. Her


    mouth can only enclose half of it.


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    "Honey.." Nick groaned as he looks at what she''s doing. "Unless you want to swallow my c*m please


    just let your hand do the work." he said throatily.


    She didn''t stop. Her hand around is holding it firmly as she licks him like a Popsicle.


    I want it in my mouth...just a bit .. She told herself.


    In some of the adult videos she watched with friends, some women swallowed the white liquid and they


    seemed to like it so she wants to taste it too.


    Nick closed his eyes as he felt that he is going to ejacte any moment. His d*ck is still in her mouth


    so he felt that she wants to swallow his semen. He uttered a word of disbelief. She is really extra-


    ordinary. He made a guttural sound and Stacey tasted his seed.


    She had to release his member from her mouth to let the liquid flow freely. Its taste is difficult to


    describe but it''s not that bad. She can''t swallow everything because there is just too much.


    She let out a naughty smile as her hand moves up and down while holding it. She is even squeezing it


    gently to let everything out.


    Nick is looking at what she''s doing but after a while, his eyes went to her pretty face.. He released his


    underwear-wrecking smile as he stares at her. Satisfaction is visible on his handsome face.


    They took a shower together after that. As expected they pleasured each other without pration.


    Now they are on the bed. They are lying on their sides. She has her back on him. His right arm is on


    her and she is holding his hand. He is smelling her hair.


    "That was awesome honey." he said contentment in his voice.


    Other women had done that to him but what his Stacey did is iparable. He is very lucky. She is


    really one-hell of a woman and she belongs to him.


    Stacey moistened her lips. Since Nick can''t see her face anyway, she asked, with a heavy frown "I''''m


    sure your past women were better." She can''t help feeling jealous.


    She heard his silent chuckle. He turned her to him. They are now face to face. He kissed the tip of her


    nose.


    "You are frowning honey. Are you jealous?" he asked with a sexy grin.


    She pouted her lips but didn''t answer him. He traced her beautiful face with the side of his forefinger .


    "You shouldn''t be. I never considered any of them my woman.You are my only woman." he whispered.


    "Nick..I.." she was about to say something but he interrupted her.


    " I want you to call me honey from now." he said seriously.


    She tried to move away from him but he didn''t let her.


    He shook his head. " We will sleep close together like this....every night." s


    "But Nick.."


    "I said call me honey.." he cut in again."Whenever you call me Nick..I will kiss you." he said with a small


    smile but his eyes look serious.


    "I can''t call you honey at work!" sheined.


    "Why not?" he asked with a slight frown.


    "Look Ni---..I mean honey..we are not even a couple to begin with!"


    He tucked some of her hair behind her left ear. "We are already a couple." he said casually.


    " No were not!" she sighed and almost rolled her eyes.


    He just smiled and pretended to yawn.


    He pulled her closer to him so her face is on his neck. She can inhale his pleasant manly smell which is


    making her cl*t react.


    "Let''s go to sleep honey. We''ll talk tomorrow .I''m spent. ." he said with a knowing smile.


    She hit his arm lightly. He chuckled before kissing the top of her head. Surprisingly, she slept like a


    baby. She woke up with a smile. Her hand moved to where Nick was but she frowned. He''s not on the


    bed.


    She got her phone to check the time and she gasped.


    It''s 9:00 AM. She is runningte so she got up and made the bed. Then her phone started ringing. She


    smiled.


    "Hello honey.." he greeted her huskily.


    She walked to the sliding door to open the blinds.


    " Why didn''t you wake me up?" she asked.


    "I know you''re very tired." he seems to be smiling naughtily .


    "I can work for half a day. I will just take a taxi. " she said as she headed to the closet to choose what to


    wear.


    "No honey. You don''t have to. I am going home in a bit. There''s food on the table. " he said.


    "Food? Did you cook?" she asked.


    "Sorry but no honey. I just bought you breakfast. I will be home in maybe two hours. Just rest while


    waiting for me. You will need a lot of energy again tonight." he said huskily.


    She couldn''t stop being all smiles. She is discovering another side of him. He is very sweet and


    thoughtful.


    "Thank you....honey.." she said huskily.


    Then there was silence.


    Stacey frowned."Hello?"


    "That sounds so fucking good honey.. I like it a lot. " he huskily said after a while.


    She bit her bottom lip.


    GOSH! I am really falling hard! She suddenly realized.


    She shook her head as if to clear it before saying. " You don''t need toe home early. I know you are


    very busy. I''ll be okay." she said.


    She sighed and smiled even wider. She sounded like a wife and she likes it.


    "I already asked my secretary to cancel all my appointments. We''ll get you a car today." he said


    casually.


    "W-What? A c-car? I don''t need it." she refused.


    "Honey, either you drive your own car or you use any of my cars with a driver. Come to think of it, the


    "Ni-....Honey,I don''t want you buying me things especially a car! That''s too much. I also don''t want to


    use any of your cars or have your driver. I am an independent woman and I can take care of myself."


    she said sounding slightly annoyed.


    "You are my woman so if I want to buy you a car, I will. No one can stop me even you ." he said with


    finality.


    She was about to protest again when she heard someone call him.


    "BABE!"


    Her eyes narrowed when she heard Tanya''s voice.

 Chapter 62

    Chapter 62


    She heard Nick cursed. "I''ll call you back honey." he said before he ended the call.


    She stomped her right foot in annoyance. He hang up on her because of that woman!


    Jealousy is eating her. The people in the whole building where Nick''s office is including her know how


    much Tanya wants Nick for herself.


    "B*tch!" she said gnashing her teeth.


    She is very much annoyed so she decided to take a shower and go to Eve''s but texted Nick first.


    To: Nick


    I don''t need a car. You don''t have to go home early because I am going somewhere anyway.


    She turned off her phone after sending the message.


    She sighed heavily and felt her anger towards him eased a bit when she saw the note on the table next


    to a te with a club sandwich.


    Eat your yogurt and sd too honey. They''re in the fridge.


    She smiled but only for a second. She carefully looked at the note. The handwriting seems familiar but


    then she just shook her head and sighed. She is probably just hungry.


    ***


    Eve is going grocery shopping and she will tag along.


    "Well you made the right decision girlfriend! It''s high time you left your mom and stepdad''s house!


    Spare yourself from your evil half-sister''s ws!" Eve said while fumbling for her keys in her bag.


    " I know." she responded quietly.


    "Let''s go. I''m d you came so at least buying groceries will be more fun than usual. ke even gave


    me his grocery list. Argh! By the way, where did you sleepst night? I thought you will stay here with


    me?"


    "Hmm.. are you working tonight?" she asked to evade her question.


    "Yup around 9! Do you want toe? You can just watch. "


    She wants to say yes but Nick is jealous of ke and she doesn''t want any trouble between the two


    men.


    "No not tonight. " she said.


    "ke is also worried about you. I told him you left your uncle John''s housest night." Eve said as


    they got in her car.


    Stacey couldn''t help smiling. ke really cares about her.


    "I want to see where you are currently staying. I will drop you off thereter. "


    Stacey chewed the inside of her cheek. She has to tell her friend now because sooner orter she will


    discover the truth anyway.


    "Eve.." she began." I want to tell you something...."


    Eve''s eyes are on the heavy traffic ahead. Then her phone started ringing.


    "Hold on girlfriend, I have to get this call. .Yes?" Eve asked the caller.


    That''s when Stacey remembered her cellphone She looked at the time, it''s past 11 AM. Her phone has


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    been off for 2 hours. She is aware that she is acting like a child when she turned it off but she didn''t


    want to talk to Nick yet. After an hour she will turn it back on.


    "Stacey ke wants to talk to you."


    With a slight frown, she took the phone. "ke?"


    "How are you Miss Hotness? What happenedst night? I thought you were supposed to have coffee


    with Eve but you were only together for less than half an hour. I was also surprised that your egotistical


    boss''s friend took her home. " he said with a dry tone.


    She chose not to reply. She has a pretty good idea how the cousins would react once they knew that


    she is living with Nick.


    "I didn''t have any n to go out but since you are with Eve, I''ll both treat you to lunch .I''ll meet you two


    somewhere. I will bring you home after the meal. See youter Miss Hotness." he said before hanging


    up.


    (Nick)


    "Shit!" he said through clenched teeth.


    He has been trying to contact Stacey but her number isn''t avable. He got her message 3 hours ago.


    He immediately called her but to no avail. He feels that she is mad because she heard Tanya''s voice.


    He had to end the call since he didn''t want Tanya to hear his conversation with Stacey .He can''t risk it.


    The other woman might attempt to do something to ruin what he has with his woman. Tanya has been


    acting like a jealous girlfriend so he had a long talk with her. He asked her what she told Stacey the


    other day which made thetter upset. He ordered her to leave Stacey alone.


    A bad word came out of him again when he read Stacey''s text message for the nth time. He knows that


    she will be defiant about him getting her a car but his mind is made up. He will definitely get her a car


    whether she likes it or not. He will install a tracking device as usual. He wants to know her whereabouts


    all the time.


    Where the fuck is she?!


    Since she said that she won''t be home, he asked his secretary to call back one of his clients so he can


    meet him in an hour. He is hoping that after his meeting, Stacey is already at his unit or he can finally


    talk to her on the phone. He raked his hand through his hair. He doesn''t like this feeling. He is


    paranoid. He is wondering what she is doing and who she is with.


    ***


    "What?!!" Eve eximed when she finally revealed the truth.


    " I told him that you were expecting me but he insisted I go with him." she said without looking at her


    friend.


    Eve whistled while shaking her head in disbelief.


    "Well this is something that I didn''t expect to happen! A lot of men are interested in you and want you to


    be their girlfriend but you turned them down. And now this? You said yes to your hot boss''s offer? " Eve


    sighed. " Oh well! I can''t me you! Come to think of it, I won''t say no if I were you to be honest." she


    added with a giggle.


    Stacey shook her head andughed quietly.


    " The million dor question is, are you ready for a lot of stress? By the looks of it, oceans of women


    lust after him. Your boss sh boyfriend is hot as hell. "


    She bit her bottom lip and with a sad tone said, " He''s not my boyfriend."


    "Duh?! It''s obvious that you have the hots for each other why not make it official? What''s stopping you


    anyway?" Eve asked with a raised brow.


    Stacey looked out the window. "I have my reasons. One day, I promise, I''ll tell you."


    She is now more confused after what happened to the two of themst night but she doesn''t regret


    anything. If only Derick would take her calls or message her back, she won''t feel this way. She is really


    worried about him. She hasn''t heard from him and tomorrow is already Friday.


    "Well if you need my help shooing females who are after him, I am just a call away. " Eve said with a


    wide grin.


    Sheughed lightly but stopped when she thought of Tanya. She released a sigh.


    ***


    After grocery shopping, they went to the seafood restaurant where ke is waiting for them.


    Eve''s cousin sat next to her and he offered to shell the shrimps for her. Some diners probably think that


    they are a couple by the way ke was acting towards her. Eve didn''t say anything but from time to


    time a light frown crosses her face.


    Their conversation was very light and Stacey is really enjoying her food and herpany. Then a


    woman maybe in her 50s came over their table.


    "ke?" she called .


    Surprise registered on ke''s face for a few seconds but he recovered immediately. He moved the


    te with shelled shrimps closer to Stacey before wiping his hands with the table napkin.


    "Hello aunt Liz."he greeted the woman.


    Eve looked ufortable but she also said hi to her.


    The woman moved her eyes to her. " Who is she ke?"


    "She''s Stacey. She is our friend."


    Stacey smiled at the woman though she seems to be ring at her.


    "Friend?" the woman asked with a heavy frown.


    "Can we talk privately Aunt Liz?" ke suggested.


    With onest angry look at Stacey, the woman turned her back to them and ke followed her.


    "Whew!!" Eve sighed heavily while fanning her face with her hand.


    "Who''s that? " she asked.


    "Kristel''s mom."


    A crease appeared on Stacey''s forehead. "Kristel?"


    "Kristel.. you know.. ke''s..." Eve rolled her eyes without finishing what she''s saying.


    Stacey covered her mouth with her hand. "Oh my! Is that why she seems angry with me? She probably


    thought that ke and I..."


    "Probably.." Eve said with a heavy sigh. "Don''t mind her. We know the truth anyway."


    They both turned their head to the right when they heard a voice.


    "What a nice scene! I hope you won''t choke on those shrimps!"the neer said with a sneer.


    Stacey''s eyes widened.


    "W-What are you doing here?" she asked the neer nervously.


    She is dead meat!

 Chapter 63

    Chapter 63


    Heather will definitely make a big deal out of seeing her with ke. She knows she will be in trouble


    because of her.


    "Well I am here to meet Pauline and I didn''t expect to see such a cheesy and yucky scene. But I feel


    it''s your unlucky day because I caught you red-handed. How bad is that?" she asked with a sneering


    smile.


    "I know that you don''t have a spark of decency but I am hoping that you won''t make a scene!" Eve said


    sounding really annoyed but Heather just ignored her.


    "Look Heather, I am not doing anything wrong ."


    " Who is sweeter? Nick or the man you were with? He was almost feeding you. " she said in a sugary


    tone.


    "Oh dear! You do sound jealous ." Eve said sarcastically.


    Heather red at her friend."You keep on butting in but I don''t remember talking to you."


    Eve''s eyes became slits "Girlfriend you better tell your half-sister to split because I am about to throw


    my food to her face!"


    She held Eve''s hand as if to tell her to try to just ignore her sister''s rudeness.


    Heather cocked one brow at them. "Last night you were with Nick and now you are with a different guy!


    I couldn''t help but stare in disbelief at what you two were doing! Nick is so blind! He hasn''t realized yet


    that you are an expert at manipting men! You are so selfish! You want all the men to yourself! I don''t


    know how you get away with these kind of things." she said while pretending to look amazed.


    "You just got such a dirty mind! ke is just my friend. He is Eve''s cousin. And a word of advice, look in


    the mirror more often. You seem to be describing yourself, not me."


    She thought that after leaving her uncle John''s house, her life will be more peaceful but thanks to


    Heather, she is beginning to have a headache.


    "I wonder what Nick''s reaction will be once he learned that you are flirting with another man." Heather


    said while she gets something from her bag.


    She almost gaped. She knows that he will be furious . But her bitchy sister shouldn''t notice that she is


    scared to death . She must do something to stop her from telling Nick.


    " I am not surprised that you said that. Your day isn''tplete without you putting me in trouble. I just


    left your dad''s housest night. Do you already miss me that much?" she asked in a steady voice


    though deep inside she''s a nervous wreck.


    Her half-sister''s brow raised a notch higher before getting her phone in her bag, She made an action of


    unlocking it and began typing something.


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    "Why are you here?!" ke asked Heather angrily.


    He knows that Stacey''s sister is up to no good.Thest time they saw her at the bar, she was very rude


    to Stacey. Their characters are very different. Heather is the exact opposite of Stacey. The former is ill-


    mannered. But ke was taken aback when he saw her up-close.Her very pretty face doesn''t match


    her unpleasant personality and behavior. The sisters are both very lovely. But for him, Stacey is lovelier


    because she is beautiful inside out.


    Heather raised her face to look at him. She noticed how hot he is and she almost gritted her teeth. She


    doesn''t know what potion Stacey is using to lure very good-looking men. She feels that it''s just so


    unfair.


    "Excuse me? Am I not allowed to be here? What''s with you and this drama queen next to me? You two


    act and speak as if you own this ce! "


    " Well I guess the staff forgot to put up the sign, No bitch allowed!" Eve said with a smirk and Heather


    threw her an angry look before sighing heavily then she stood up from the chair.


    "Oh well! I might as well go. I think promiscuity is catching . I don''t want to be a slut like someone here."


    "And what the hell do you mean? Who are you referring to?" Eve asked angrily. She rose from her


    chair too .


    "Eve please let''s just let her go." Stacey pleaded to her friend. People in the restaurant are looking at


    them already.


    "Don''t ask the obvious." Heather glowered at Stacey.


    They all gaped when all of a sudden ke took hold of Heather''s forearm firmly and almost dragged


    her outside.


    "Take your nasty hands off me!" she said in a very annoyed voice as she tried to free her arm but ke


    continued pulling her.


    When they were out of the restaurant he turned her to him. "You better stop being such a nuisance!"


    "Let me go! If you won''t, I will kick your shin." she furiously said.


    For several seconds they just red at each other. They are not aware of the curious stares they are


    getting. A drop dead gorgeous tall man is staring furiously at a very pretty and petite woman who is


    glowering at him.


    "Heather!"


    They both turned where the voice came from.


    "What''s going on?" Heather''s friend Pauline asked but her eyes are on ke.


    Heather tried to push him from her but she can''t budge him. "I said let go you douchebag!!" she yelled


    and hit his arm with her bag.


    He took hold of it with his other hand and threw it to the ground.


    " Oh no! My bag! Pauline! Go get it!!" she cried, while sounding dismayed.


    Her friend quickly went to where the bag is and picked it up.


    "You good for nothing piece of shit! Do you know how much I paid for that bag?? You got a nerve to


    throw it just like that?!!" she furiously asked. She wants to scratch his handsome face out of rage.


    ke looked at her with narrowed eyes. " I would do the same to you if you don''t stop being bitchy!" he


    rasped then released her forearm as if he got burned by it before he turned to go.


    His strides are long and quick. Heather tried to run after him to hit his back but unfortunately she


    tripped over something.


    "Ouch!" she cried out.


    ke turned and with eyes like slits just looked at Heather while her friend came to her aid. He had the


    sudden desire to go back and help her but he changed his mind.He believes that women like her


    should be ignored.


    " Argh!" Heather is gritting her teeth while removing some dirt from her pants.


    "Are you okay?" Pauline asked worriedly.


    "Do I look like I''m okay? What a stupid question to ask!"


    She started marching towards her car when she noticed passers by looking at her. She gave them the


    F sign.


    When she got inside her car she took her phone. Her anger towards Stacey is sky-high.


    "I will make you pay, you bitch!!"


    (Nick)


    He just came inside his office. He mmed the door behind him.


    "SHIT!!!" he cursed.


    Until now he can''t contact Stacey. He started pacing around his office to release some of his anger. He


    couldn''t even concentrate on his meeting. Images of Stacey with another man kept ying inside his


    head. His paranoia is at its extreme.


    "F*CKING HELL!!" He angrily raked his hand through his hair.


    Then came three knocks. Cherry''s head peeked out from behind the door. She looks hesitant toe


    in when she saw how pissed he looks.


    "S-Sir..Miss Heather is on line 2."


    He scowled . "What does she want??!"


    His secretary bit her bottom lip. " She said it''s about Stacey."

 Chapter 64

    Chapter 64


    Nick''s eyes narrowed. He just nodded at his secretary. He is curious about what Heather has to say. He


    was about to pick up the receiver when his cellphone started ringing. He saw Stacey''s number on the


    screen. Like a sh, he took his mobile phone.


    "Dammit honey! Where the f*ck are you? Who are you with?!"


    He didn''t want to yell at her but he is really pissed. He has been worried for hours and jealous as hell.


    Images of her with the f*cking asshole with tattoo shed in his head again.


    "I-I''m w-with Eve." came Stacey''s sweet but nervous voice.


    She almost dropped her phone when she heard Nick''s very angry voice. She had to call him before


    Heather does.


    I have been worried sick about you! Why is your phone off? F*cking hell!!" He is pacing the room while


    loosening his tie.


    "S-Sorry.. I was annoyed because you hung up on me."


    Nick angrilybed his hair with his hand. " I didn''t hang up on you ! I said I will call you back, didn''t


    I?" he asked in a clipped tone.


    "I heard Tanya. She was at your office!"


    He sighed. If he weren''t furious he would probably have smiled knowing that she is jealous of Tanya.


    "That''s not enough reason for you to turn off your phone! We''ll talk about Tanyater! Where are you?!"


    "A-At the coffee shop. I am about to leave.. .."


    "Just tell me the exact location!!"


    "No need. I can.."


    "Dammit!! Why can''t you say where you are exactly at? Is there anyone else with you beside Eve?!"


    If Eve is with her, there is a good chance that her cousin is also there. That thought made him grit his


    teeth.


    She heard his shallow breathing and her heart is thumping. Nick thinks that ke is with them.


    "I will just ask you one more time honey, where exactly are you?"


    She had no choice but to tell him. No use fueling his anger. She will exin everything to himter.


    "Don''t you dare move! I''ll be there in 15 minutes." he said in a t tone.


    ***


    She hurriedly went back to their table. "Eve we have to go. "


    "You haven''t finished your dessert."said ke. He looks rxed while he drinks his beer .


    "ke is right. What''s the hurry? Let me finish my ice cream."


    She looked at her watch. Nick could be here in less than 15 minutes. "Okay please hurry up. "


    "You look edgy. What''s the matter Miss Hotness?" ke asked while his brows are knitted.


    The cousins are now looking at her. She sighed. She might as well tell the truth. She''s running out of


    time. "Nick will be here soon. He is picking me up from the coffee shop next to this restaurant."


    Eve''s mouth formed an O while ke''s bluish-gray eyes look nk.


    "Why didn''t you tell him that we are here. Why lie to him?" he asked tonelessly and Eve pretended to


    be busy with her dessert.


    "He knows it''s just me and Eve. We have to go. Sorry and thanks for the lunch." she told ke before


    pulling Eve''s hand so they can go.


    " He''s jealous of me isn''t he?" he asked all of a sudden.


    Eve gave her a knowing look. She nipped her bottom lip before looking at ke again. He has a bleak


    expression.


    "Just be sure that you are making the right decision Miss Hotness. Appearances can be deceiving,


    always remember that." he said, his face is impassive.


    ***


    They have been at the cafe for 3 minutes when she saw Nick''s car. She couldn''t take his eyes off him


    when he got out and started walking to the cafe. His handsome face is stony. His strides are wide. Eve


    motioned for a waiter to get their order.


    Nick spotted them immediately His eyes never left hers as hees to their table. She is mesmerized .


    He exudes charm, confidence and sex appeal and she knows that all the women inside are checking


    him out but what''s amazing is, he doesn''t even care because he got used to it. She wanted to stand


    and go to him and show all the female that he belongs to her, but of course, she didn''t.


    "Girlfriend what do you want to order?" Eve asked so she had to take her eyes from Nick.


    She looked at the waiter. She was about to give her order when she heard Nick greeted Eve.


    "ck coffee." She told the waiter with a smile.


    He sat next to her. She felt electricity ran through her body as his shoulder touched hers.


    "Honey." The way he called her sounded so sexy.


    Eve is just staring at them with her mouth slightly open. Maybe she can sense the spark between them.


    Who wouldn''t look at them? They look perfect together. And the way Nick looks at her will make any


    woman die of envy.


    She just acknowledged his presence with a nod. She doesn''t want Eve and especially him to notice


    how nervous and at the same time excited she is to be near him. She pretended to be busy looking at


    the menu.


    Without looking at him, she asked."What do you want?"


    "You know what I want honey." he said in his bedroom voice.


    Her nipples reacted and she blushed because she knows what he meant but she was talking about


    coffee for Pete''s sake!


    Eve cleared her throat before saying. "Nick, try their cappino. It''s good."


    "Okay, I''ll have that." he said before getting the menu from her and overturned it. "It''s upside down


    honey." he whispered in her right ear. Amusement is evident in his voice.


    She wanted the ground to swallow her . That was so embarrassing! she thought.


    He touched her hand as it to reassure her that it was okay. Maybe because he is used to women losing


    their equilibrium like her because of his presence.


    "What else do you want Eve?" he asked .


    "I''m good. Thanks."


    He squeezed her hand, " How about you honey?" He leaned forward on the table and turned to his left


    to look at her face but she can''t seem to look at him.


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    "I''m good too." she replied.


    "We''ll just call you if we need anything else. Thanks." he told the waiter who just nodded.


    "So where did you go?" he casually asked Eve.


    "At the supermarket. I had to do some grocery shopping."


    Nick nodded before turning to her. "Did you buy anything honey?"


    This time she has to raise her eyes to him.He is looking at her intently while he holds her hand.


    GOSH! He smells so good! She thought.


    Then they heard Eve''s phone ringing so she excused herself. Her fiance Lance is calling.


    Now that they are left alone, she feels more nervous. She''s thankful that he didn''t let Eve notice that he


    is fuming.


    "You know thatter we have to really talk .Right honey?" his icy tone is back .


    She just nodded


    "We talked on the phone more than 20 minutes ago and you said that you are here, right?"


    "Y-Yes."


    "I am just wondering why you just ordered if you have been here for 20 minutes."


    She swallowed.


    "Why can''t you look at me honey? Is there something that I should know?" he asked icily.


    "W-Well...I-I.." She wasn''t able to continue because Eve came back to the table.


    "Sorry! Lance just asked something. Oh herees our coffee!"


    She was saved by the bell for now and she almost sighed. She is nning to tell Nick that ke was


    with them but of course she won''t say anything about his shelling shrimps for her.


    "What did youdies have for lunch?" he asked them.


    "Seafood." came Eve''s quick answer.


    Nick nodded and leaned his back on his chair. He ced his arm on the back of her seat.


    He took a sip of his coffee first. "So you like seafood honey?"


    "So -so. "


    Eve''s eyes are on them while she stirs her coffee. "Nick, I hope you don''t mind. Can I ask you


    something?"


    " It''s okay. What is it?" He asked and he sounds more rxed.


    In a casual voice her friend asked, "How many girlfriends have you had?"


    "None."


    She felt his fingers touched her left shoulder.


    Eve''s eyes widened. " No way....."


    He chuckled. "I have never been in a serious rtionship. Stacey and I talked about that already. You


    can ask her." he suggested. He is now kneading her shoulder which she finds arousing.


    "Hmm..you are a perfect match then! Stacey hasn''t had any boyfriend yet."


    "I know." he agreed with a sexy smile as he looks at her and she just rolled her eyes.


    "Excuse me. I have to go to the powder room." she told them before getting up, Nick stood up from his


    seat too,


    "I''ll go with you honey." he offered.


    "No Ni--.. I mean no honey. You don''t have to." She almost forgot that she mustn''t call him by his name.


    Eve cleared her throat while Nick nodded with satisfaction . She red at her friend who is grinning


    from ear to ear.


    "Eve wille with me. Let''s go Eve." she said with a sharine smile .


    "Sure ! I need a break from too much sweetness on this table anyway!" she joked.


    (Nick)


    He sat down again with a small smile on his lips. His anger seemed to have diminished. His threat


    about kissing her if she calls him by his name instead of honey is very effective.. He grinned. His


    presence obviously affects Stacey physically.


    Good! At least the feeling is now mutual. He told himself.


    He can''t wait for them to be aler. He took a sip of his coffee. But something caught his eye when


    he turned to the window. He recognized the man who got into a car. It''s Eve''s cousin.


    He put his cup down with a thud . "Fucking hell!" he cursed before standing up angrily.

    She almost sighed as her friend Eve giggled giddily when she pulled her inside the restroom. She is


    thankful that no one was inside.


    "Oh my gosh girlfriend! You are such a denial queen! You said that you are not yet a couple but what''s


    with that honey thing?"


    She just chewed her bottom lip. " I just did what he wanted. He doesn''t want me to call him Nick." she


    said. She has no n of telling her about the consequence if she fails to do what she was told.


    " Oh geez! That is so sweet! A man like him asked you to call him honey? Oh Stacey! I will really pull


    your hair if you won''t agree to be his official girlfriend! You must be out of your mind if you''ll turn him


    down! Just say yes to him and I will help you deal with whores who will run after him!" Eve said with


    another giggle.


    She clucked before facing the mirror.


    Eve leaned against the wall next to the mirror with a grin. " The way he was looking at you made me


    want to swoon from envy! You were like a juicy steak and he was ready to devour you!"


    She frowned heavily at her and shook her head. " You are crazy! " she said before going to one of the


    cubicles.


    " Have you seen how those women stared at him? They were probably wishing that you vanish so they


    can have him!" her friend said with a lightugh but she chose not to reply to her anymore. .


    She was still inside the cubicle when she heard the door opened .


    "Oh gosh! He is soo hot!" a female''s very excited voice said.


    "I totally agree! He smells so wonderful too! If he didn''t look pissed I would have introduced myself to


    him but he seems in a hurry! " another onemented.


    She frowned. She knows they are referring to Nick but ording to one of them he left and he looked


    angry. She iwas wondering where he went and why he was pissed off. She hurriedly went out of the


    cubicle . She walked to the sink and washed her hands. She could feel the two females'' eyes on her


    but she just threw them a nce.


    "Hurry up girl! Let''s check if he came back already!" The female with lighter hair said as she washed


    her hands too.


    "Wait! I will retouch my lips!" Girl number 2 replied.


    She couldn''t help but frown. She didn''t like hearing women talking about Nick.


    "I am just worried that he has a girlfriend already. He''s way too hot to be single." blurted the light-haired


    woman.


    Eve got out of the cubicle so she looked at her so signaled to her that they should go but her friend


    mouthed the word wait.


    "You think I care? I will just have a taste of him.I only want a one-night stand with him. However hot he


    is, I wouldn''t want to be his girl . I don''t want to be stressed because for sure a lot of bitches want him


    in their panties." said woman number 2.


    ''Oh you mean bitches like you two? " asked Eve with one of her brows raised.


    The two women exchanged a look.


    "Excuse me ? Are you talking to us?" The one who recently talked asked.


    Eve took her time wiping her hands. Before she answered, she threw the paper towel into the bin then


    her eyes went to the two females.


    "I know who you are talking about. It''s the tall man with a stubble and in a long-sleeved shirt right? Well


    sorry for bursting your bubblesdies! He will not even throw you a nce and you know why? "


    No response from any of them. They are just looking at Eve.


    "Can you see that gorgeous woman near the door?" her friend asked them before looking at her.

    "Of course we can! We''re not blind! Duh! And what is the relevance of your question to what you were


    saying a while ago? " woman number 2 asked with a heavy frown.


    "FYI! The hot male you are fantasizing about is her man! Well it''s okay to dream about him but don''t


    overdo it because you will just be disappointed! " Eve said before walking past them.


    The women gaped.


    ***


    " You didn''t have to say that to them Eve! I feel sorry for them. " she said with a sigh . She was a bit


    annoyed with what she heard from those females but she can''t seem to do what her friend did.


    "Like it or not, you have to get used to it. You need to practice girlfriend! Believe me! You will have to do


    that anytime soon!"


    She just pouted but she didn''tment anymore.


    "Where''s Nick?" Eve asked while they both ran their eyes inside the cafe.


    He''s nowhere to be found. They saw a $100 bill on their table.


    Then her phone made a sound.


    Before she could say hello Nick spoke, "I am in a ck BMW on the left side of the cafe." he sounded


    clipped.


    She wasn''t even able to say anything because he hung up on her. She chewed the inside of her cheek


    and her forehead creased.


    "Was that him? Where is he?"


    "He''s already in the car. We better go outside now." she hurriedly suggested.


    With a frown eve asked, "What happened? Is there any problem? Everything was okay before we went


    to the rest room. What''s wrong with your hot boyfriend?"


    "I have no clue. Let''s just hurry up!"


    She led her to the ck BMW.


    The door opened and a grim faced Nick came out. She felt her heart skipped a beat from worry.


    "Do you need a ride?" he asked Eve. His tone is expressionless.


    Eve just shook her head while just gaping at his unsmiling but still very good-looking face. He was very


    different from the Nick they were with a few minutes ago. He was yful and rxed but now he


    looked exactly like the powerful and rich businessman that he was.


    "Okay . We have to go." he said icily before opening the door for her. He didn''t say anything to her but


    his eyes narrowed as he directed them to her.


    "I will just call you. Thank you." she told her friend before getting in the car.


    She just sat as she stared at her bag on herp. She was nervous as a cat. He changed his mood


    again which really confuses her and makes her worried too.


    He slid in . No one spoke but she didn''t want to break the silence. She threw him a nce and she bit


    her bottom lip. His face looked woody. His mouth was set in a grim line.


    Even in the elevator he was silent and didn''t even look at her. She didn''t know how to tell him about


    ke because of his dark mood. She had seen him very angry before. He may not hurt her physically


    but she was afraid of him. For the short time that she had known him, she knew that he could be very


    sweet and loving but he could be really bad when he was furious.


    When they got inside his unit, he proceeded to the kitchen without even throwing her a nce. She


    was the one who locked the door behind her. She saw him open the ssed cab where his booze


    are.


    Mustering her courage she asked, "Did you eat lunch already?"


    He didn''t answer her. His back is on her. His head tilted back as he gulped some alcohol like water.


    "I''ll prepare something for you . Let me just change into something morefortable." she uttered in a


    small voice.


    (Nick)


    He heard her but he chose not to answer. When he knew she was inside the bedroom already, with a


    lot of force, he threw the ss into the sink. It shattered. He wass shaking with anger.


    "F*CKING HELL!!"


    He had been trying to control his rage. Thest thing he wanted was hit her but he was enraged. He


    was ready to beat up the f*cking asshole but he was toote. He drove away already. It really angers


    him knowing that he was right all along. Stacey wasn''t alone with Eve. Thetter''s cousin was with


    them. He grabbed some of his hair in vexation. He got another bottle of booze and brought it to the


    living room. He took off his shirt and chucked it onto the floor. He carelessly sat on the couch while


    opening the booze. He drank straight from the bottle.


    He wanted Stacey to say the truth. He won''t tell her that he saw Eve''s cousin.


    Control yourself Alcantara! You have to find out if she''s going to tell you about that *sshole! He advised


    himself.


    He had proven how honest she was a lot of times already but this was different. This wasn''t about


    Derick but a d*ckhead. He was really hoping that she would speak the truth or she would really see


    how bad he could be. His eyes turned into slits when she came out.


    She was in a sleeveless body-hugging cotton top and ck cotton shorts. Her hair was in a ponytail.


    She was barefoot and her pink toenails looked so damn sexy like the rest of her.


    Don''t be taken by her charms Alcantara! he reprimanded himself. She seems to be hesitant toe


    near him.


    (Stacey)


    She saw his long-sleeves shirt on the floor. She picked it up and folded it and put it on the table.


    "W-What do you want to eat? " she asked nervously.


    Nick leaned on the sofa as he watched her. He put down the bottle of alcohol on the side table near


    him.


    "I''m not hungry! Sit down so can have our talk!" he demanded in a very cold voice.


    She felt a bit relieved. It was a good sign that he was not yelling which shows that he was calmer. She


    sat on the same couch where he was but she put a distance between them. Her forehead creased


    when he stood up and sat on the single sofa across from her.


    "I want to see your eyes when we talk!" His voice was cold but his expression was impossible to read.


    That was one of the things she recently discovered about him.He was very good in hiding his emotions


    most of the time. Like now. His face and eyes look nk. She nodded and sighed. She really needed to


    beposed because she had no intention of hiding the truth from him.


    "So what did you do for the past few hours?" he asked as he leaned on the sofa. His eyes were directly


    looking at her.


    She swallowed. " I was with Eve and as she told you, we went to the supermarket then we ate out for


    lunch."


    "Where you with someone else?" he asked. "I want to see your eyes!" he said said firmly when she


    lowered her eyes.


    She raised her eyes to him again.Her heart is racing. It''s just the two of them in his unit. Nick can do


    what he wants with her and she can''t stop him. But she wants to be honest with him but she needs to


    omit some parts.


    "ke was there too." She swallowed when she saw how his face changed.


    His breathing became shallow and his eyes are half-slit. "How long were you with that f*cking *sshole?"


    he asked chillingly.


    "Not too long.."


    He cursed and she shut her eyes for a few seconds then opened them again. She knew that even a


    minute with ke will make Nick very angry . They were with him for an hour.


    "Where did you eat?"


    She told him the name of the seafood restaurant.


    "What time were you there?"


    "B-Between 12:30 to 1 PM ."


    He continued to look at her. "Is there anything else I should know?"


    She pouted. Her hands were mmy. "N-None.."


    For several seconds he didn''t say anything. She was doing her best to keep the eye contact. She was


    thinking if it was time to tell him about everything but her jittery feelings was stopping her. Seeing his


    grim expression was definitely not encouraging.


    He got his phone in his pocket while his eyes are still on her. He just took them off from her when he


    dialed .


    "Sonny? This is Nick Alcantara." she heard him told the person on the other end.


    She decided that after his phone call she would tell him about ke sitting next to her and shelled


    seafood for her. She was going to be honest with him no matter what. She felt a burden was somewhat


    lifted off her shoulder.


    "So how is business? Is your seafood restaurant doing well?" He asked to whoever he was talking to


    which made her frown. " Can I as k you a favor?" another question from Nick then he turned on the


    loud speaker.


    "Sure! Anything!" The man called Sonny replied.


    "I was told that someone who fucked with me had lunch at your restaurant today" He informed the


    other man while his eyes on her are narrowed. Her palms started to sweat more.


    "I see. So how can I help?"


    " Can I see the recording of your CCTV between 12 to 2 PM ?"


    "No problem Nick! Come here anytime!"


    "Thanks Sonny. I know I can count on you. I''ll ring you tomorrow before I go there. Please say hi to


    Linda for me." he added before ending the call.


    She could hear the thumping of her heart.


    "Maybe you realized now that I was talking to the seafood restaurant''s owner where you had lunch.


    Sonny and I are very close. We were high school friends. " he revealed with a smile that didn''t reach


    his eyes.


    Her hand went to her throat. She remembered what he said before.


    " I have a lot of connections, never forget that."

    Chapter 66


    Oh my God! She cried to herself.


    What she wanted to say suddenly seemed to have been stuck in her throat. No sound came out of her


    mouth though her brain was telling her to exin herself.


    Nick raised his left brow . "You became quiet all of a sudden honey."


    "W-Why do you want to see the video?"


    He shrugged his shoulders. He took the bottle of booze and gulped some of it. He wiped his mouth with


    the back of his hand as he continues to look at her.


    " You seem to be keeping something from me. You are nervous as a cat honey. If you don''t want me to


    see the recording then maybe you can tell me what exactly happened."


    He knows damn well that Stacey is hiding something from her. He was really going to be hopping mad


    anytime soon.


    "I-I really w-wanted to tell you. " she said Her voice sounds so small. She almost shrieked when Nick


    put down the bottle with a thud.


    "I asked you if there is still something I should know but you said none!" His words are icicles. His eyes


    are like slits.


    She nervously ran the tip of her tongue on her lips. "H-Honey, sorry. Please don''t be angry. I just didn''t


    where to start ." She is ying with her fingers to ease her nervousness.


    He leaned forward from his seat. "How many times have I told you that I don''t want that f*cking asshole


    near you?!" His tone wasn''t high but it sure was scary.


    She lowered her head to look at her hands which are on herp. "It wasn''t in the original n that he


    would join us. He just asked Eve to buy stuff for him."


    He let out a sarcasticugh. "But when that trash learned that you were with his cousin, he suddenly


    wanted to see you." he said through gritted teeth.


    "We are just friends as I told you before. He has a girlfriend and a son." She needs to reassure Nick


    that he has no reason to be jealous of ke.

    "What if he doesn''t have a girlfriend and a son? Would you consider being his woman?" he asked


    unexpectedly.


    She nipped her bottom lip. The past few days, she had contemted on the thought of maybe if ke


    is unattached, she would probably like him now. Her taste in men changed. She liked their type. Good-


    looking bad boys.


    Nick clenched his fists as he waits for her answer.


    I swear that I will injure that fucking asshole if she will say yes! He promised himself.


    He almost punched his face if Stacey didn''t give them a honk in his car''s horn. . He can still remember


    their heated conversation.


    "Stay away from Stacey." he told him menacingly.


    "Who are you to tell me that? I have known her longer." ke said in a cold voice.


    "She is mine."


    "You don''t own her. Even if you do, I don''t f

    She said it in a small voice and she is on the opposite side of the room but Nick heard her...


    "F*cking hell...." he murmured in disbelief. He straightened and slowly walked to her. "What did you say


    honey?"


    Excitement rushed inside her. The way he is looking at her is way beyond what she expected from a


    man like him. Different expressions crossed his face. His eyes which were hard were now dark with


    desire.


    A smile broke her lips. The Aphrodite in her wanted to be a little yful. It felt wonderful knowing that


    this moody , possessive but sexy as hell man was hers. She moved back until her back was almost

    touching the window. She was biting her lower lip which made her more alluring.


    " I said don''t be jealous of ke..." she said in a breathy voice.


    He released a naughty smile . He is now inches away from her. "You said something else honey. I want


    to hear thest part." he ordered as he ran his eyes on her beautiful face.


    Her body was reacting to him as usual. He looks so hot and smells so damn good as always. She ran


    the tip of her tongue to her lips.


    Nick''s palms are now t on the window. His head was bent to stare at her lips. "You know what I want


    to hear honey.." His lips are very near hers. His eyes were still on them.


    "N-Nick..." she tried to keep a straight face when she called him by his name.


    His gaze went up her eyes .He narrowed his ownbut a naughty smile appeared on his lips.


    "Woman...you are really asking for it..." he said in a throaty voice before he kissed her.


    Hundreds of sparks sort of lighted the room when their lips met. He pulled her towards him to deepen


    it. She didn''t thought it was possible for their kiss to be more mind-blowing. This tops all their previous


    ones and she knew why. It was because finally she admitted her true feelings to him.


    Their tongue swirled around each other for maybe a full minute before Nick finally released her lips .


    They were both smiling though gasping for breath.


    "Now say it again honey.." This time his right hand squeezed her bottom.


    She was caught off guard but what he did sent heat in sensitive parts of her body. She touched his lips


    with her right index finger while looking up to his eyes. "What if I don''t want to repeat what I said.What


    would you do to me?" she joked while she has her smoky eyes on him.


    He squeezed her bottom harder. She can feel his arousal above her tummy.


    "Then suffer the consequences." he murmured while he was lustfully staring at her.


    She sped her arms around his nape. She tiptoed a little to whisper in his ear, " I said I love


    you..honey..."


    Nick shut his eyes to savor what she said. He can''t exin by words how happy he was. It was like


    closing a multi-million deal but much much more. Once again he kissed her . He took his time tasting


    her lips, the inside of her mouth and her tongue. When he broke the contact, he cupped her face.


    "You are officially mine now." he said with triumph.


    "Hm.. Am I really? ?" she joked. She almost giggled when she saw him creased his brows.


    With narrowed eyes, "This time you really can''t get away from me honey."


    "That sounded like a threat." sheughed lightly and he chuckled.


    He kissed the tip of her nose. "I am not scaring you honey. I am a very good and generous lover but I


    can be your worst nightmare too .You belong to me! You are mine! Am I making myself clear?" he


    asked in a tone that means business.


    She ginned then she ran her lips on his neck.


    "Honey.." he murmured her name but she just continued kissing him. He took hold of her shoulders and


    made her stop what she was doing. "Are you not taking what I said seriously?" he asked with furrowed


    brows . His eyes are half slits which worried her a bit.


    "Honey..." She wanted to add that she was just joking but he shook her a little.


    "I am serious, dammit!" he said sounding clipped.


    "Of course I know you are serious honey so please don''t be mad . I am all yours. You are everything I


    want and need.I was just teasing ." she said huskily but he was just looking at her with a heavy frown.


    She repeated that she was sorry and atst his face softened.


    He drew her closer to him by wrapping his arms around her. "Don''t ever tease me when ites to


    something like that! Okay?" he asked.


    She nodded. She raised her face higher to kiss him lightly.


    "Can we go to the bedroom now honey? We should celebrate our being a couple officially." he


    suggested in a husky voice.


    She almost shook her head. His mood changed again. He was angry awhile ago and now he sounded


    tender and coaxing.


    "I want to make love to you all night. Let''s take the day off tomorrow. We''ll do pleasurable things to


    each other the whole day..." he said hoarsely as he nibbles her left ear.


    Her nipples feel painful because they were very very hard. His words made her wet down there. She


    was really getting hooked on him. She was about to give in when she remembered something.


    "Wait!"She almost forgot about Tanya.


    "Hmm.." he murmured while nibbling her skin.


    "You asked me about ke but you haven''t told me why Tanya was at your office!"


    She heard him sighed against her neck before he raised his lips. "That was nothing honey. I asked her


    what she told you the other day. I also ordered her to leave you alone."


    She pouted. "She should also leave you alone!"


    He yfully pinched her nose while chuckling. She moved her head backwards to put a space between


    them.


    "I don''t like you talking to other women unless it''s about business." she said with a frown.


    Nick shed his undies-wrecking smile. "I won''t. I promise. I may be hot looking but I am not a


    womanizer honey."he said with a wide grin.


    "You better keep your promise! Once I found out that you were not true to your words,I won''t listen to


    your exnation anymore. I will immediately break up with you!" she threatened.


    Then his face became hard again. "Don''t even think about that!" His arm on her back tightened.


    She was about to say she didn''t really mean it when his phone started to ring.


    Before releasing her to answer it he said in a serious tone, " Wait for me in the bedroom. I''ll just take


    this call." He walked to the other room which he uses as an office.


    Gosh Stacey! Will you think first before you speak! You know your boyfriend can''t take jokes like that!


    She scolded herself.


    Your boyfriend...your boyfriend...


    That thought echoed again and again in her mind.


    He is really her boyfriend now!


    Dreamily, sheid her back on the bed. Biting her bottom lips, she hugged Nick''s pillow.


    She has a real boyfriend. Nick Alcantara is her man.


    She hugged his pillow tighter to her body. She has to call Eve. She needed to share to her best friend


    how happy she was. She sat down cross-legged on the bed while she was still cuddling Nick''s pillow.


    After two rings, Eve took the call.


    "Hey girlfriend! How is everything with you and Nick? " she sounded distraught.


    "We''re okay now. " she said while swallowing a giggle.


    Eve sighed. " That''s good to hear! I was really worried about you two! Your future boyfriend is


    something else! I didn''t know he has mood swings! Phew! " her friendughed lightly and she smiled.


    "Eve... I called to let you know that we are already a couple." She was waiting for her to say something


    but there was only silence. "Eve?" she frowned.


    She gaped and moved the phone away from her ear when her best friend whooped.


    "YES! I knew it wasing! " Eve screamed with delight which made her giggle. " It was about time


    girlfriend!" she added.


    She chewed the inside of her bottom lip. "But I am really bothered with what you said. I have to be


    ready to fight women lusting after him. "


    "That is inevitable but I know that he is crazy about you and he won''t even throw those women a


    nce. So don''t worry too much. Keep him happy and satisfied in and out of bed. That is your mission


    as his woman anyway. "


    Her cheeks warmed because as Nick said, they will spend the night making love .


    "I am pretty sure that you will have sex a lot so try to be careful if you don''t want to get pregnant yet. I


    don''t think he would want to do withdrawal so you should be on the pill or he should use rubber. By the


    way when was yourst period?"


    She told her and Eve shrieked. " That means you are on your safe period! Well best of luck! I hope you


    will have a breather though " she said with a giggle. " Just have a st!" she added.


    She rolled her eyes but she just tittered before saying goodbye to her. Sheid on the bed again. She


    was on her stomach.


    I made the right decision..I know I did! She kept repeating to herself happily.


    She sprawled. She rested her right cheek on Nick''s pillow. Her brows knitted when she felt something.


    It was in the small space between the headboard and the mattress. She knelt to take a look. She


    couldn''t helpughing when she finally saw it. It was her bra . Several days ago, they made a deal that


    he won''t tongue f*ck her most private part as she requested in exchange for hercy undergarment.


    She yelped when Nick tickled her sole. She shifted to a cross-legged position to look at him. One of her


    brows was raised and she had a knowing smile on her lips. She dangled her bra to show it to him.


    He slowly crawled on the bed with that sexy look on his eyes and face. She nipped her bottom lip. Her


    man is so damn hot! Now he is just a few inches away from her. He was lying on his stomach. He


    kissed her left knee sensually then raised his head to look at her brassiere. He sniffed it while he had


    his eyes closed. Her mouth felt dry.


    "H-Honey! " she yelped when like a sh, he changed their position.


    She was on top of him and he was holding her wrists firmly with his hands.


    "Now you know my secret." he said throatily.


    She nodded with a seductive smile. Nick was fantasizing about her at night!


    He held her hand with the bra and moved it so thecy garment touched his face. He sniffed it again.


    "This kept me sane during those nights you weren''t with me." he said hoarsely.


    She felt her breathing became shallow. After smelling it again for a few seconds, he got it from her and


    gently put it on the bedside.


    He pulled her by the nape. " Now that I have the woman who owns it...I don''t think I will be needing it


    anymore.." he said before touching her lips with his.

    Chapter 68


    "Honey..." She moaned. The way he kissed her awakened her every cell . It''s so sweet and arousing


    that she didn''t want it to end but at the same time she needed to release the heat inside her body.


    He let go of her lips and looked at her with an expression in his eyes that she couldn''t fathom. He stood


    up to remove his pants and she stared at his massive bulge.


    "I will sit down honey and you straddle me." he said.


    He rested his head on the headboard and she sat on him. He took her top off. She was facing him with


    just her brassiere on. She was hardly breathing while her eyes were at him. He was touching her upper


    body with his darker ones. Appreciating and desiring what he saw.He muttered something and his eyes


    turned molten.


    "I don''t f*cking know if I really deserve you honey. But one thing is definite I will never let you go." he


    said as if to himself.


    She was longing to touch his whole body but she would feast her eyes on him first. She thought it was


    like wishing for the moon to be with this man. His image had never left her mind the first time she saw


    him.


    The tall man with a stubble...


    "Why do you say such things honey? I am not special. No woman can say no to you ..." He put his


    index finger on her lips to stop her from finishing what she wanted to say.


    He shook his head before saying, " You are the most desirable, lovely, witty, sexy and stubborn woman


    I have ever met and you are the one for me. It''s just you I desire so damn much .I don''t want to say I


    love you because I think what I feel for you is more extreme .I''m crazy about you." he confessed.


    "But I am not perfect honey. No one is . If I could change the past, I would want you to be my first lover.


    It has been my wished to save my self for the man I love. But something happened.." she bit her


    bottom lip as she remembered how she lost her virginity.


    F*CKING HELL!! Nick thought. He knows that she was talking about how an *sshole took her


    innocence and that *sshole was the one she was with now and she said she loves.


    "I am sorry honey if I am not a virgin..."


    He kissed her on the lips. After a while he framed her face then ended the kiss. "One day I will say


    something very important to you . I am hoping that you will not hate me." he said.


    Nick didn''t want to ruin this night . This was not the right time to tell her everything..but soon...


    "I love you. I know you had a lot of women before me. If you want to say something about them you


    don''t need to. I will never hate you. I have to ept your past just like how you should ept mine."


    she said huskily.


    Nick closed his eyes. I really hope so honey...but even if you''ll hate me I will never ever let you leave


    me.


    When he opened his eyes he said, " I am counting on what you said honey. I really regret doing what I


    did and I am doing everything to make up for it." he said hoarsely.


    She just smiled. " We all make mistakes. You are not a bad person honey. "


    "I can be very very bad honey. I will throttle any trash who will attempt to get you from me."


    Her heart skipped a beat with his expression and tone. He really scares her when he''s like this.


    "H-Honey.." she whispered. " No one will do that." she reassured him.


    Nick''s eyes glinted. "I have all the resources to badly hurt any f*cking *sshole . You are all mine! " he


    said in a steely tone before iming her lips.


    She had her hands on his shoulder as they did their French kiss. He cupped her breasts. She


    unhooked her bra so he can have ess to her nipples. She pulled his nape to them. He sucked and


    licked them alternately while she arched her back.


    A low sound escaped her lips as he nipped one of them while his thumb and forefinger tugged the


    other one. A low moan escaped her lips. She gyrated on top of him. Her damp sex was rubbing his


    very hard member.


    He groaned and for a second or two his lips freed her breasts. "Shit honey!" he said as if in pain.


    She held the back of his head to kiss him deeply. She had lost her inhibitions. He was after all man.


    " Please honey..take me now. You don''t need a rubber. I am in my safe period." she murmured against


    his lips.


    Nick uttered a word and plunged his tongue into her mouth. She pulled his briefs down and her eyes


    went straight to his pulsating manhood. She sped it with her fingers. They went up and down to its


    length.


    "Dammit honey! Don''t do that." he groaned.


    She pouted. Much as she wanted to continue, she had to stop. She wants him to explode inside her .


    He was breathing shallowly and his eyes are closed. She hid a smile. Nick was just trying to hold back


    his desire for her. After a few moments he opened his eyes.


    "I want you to ride me. You need to get ustomed to me first. I will let you take control honey." he


    said huskily.


    This was just their third time and it had only been a few days since Stacey and "Derick" made love.


    Nick knows that there was a chance that it would l still be a little painful for Stacey considering the size


    of his member.


    She just nodded. Excitement rushed in her veins and her clit reacted. They are finally going all the way.


    She took off her cotton shirts then her bikini. Somehow she didn''t feel embarrassed when Nick openly


    stared at her shaved p*ssy. Anyway he had tasted her there before.


    He helped her position herself on top of him. His eyes constricted when she slowly inserted his thick


    and long member inside her slit.


    "SHIT!" he cursed when his considerable member was enclosedpletely by her delicious hole.


    She gaped when she felt its tip came deep down her hole. Now both of them are breathing in gasps.


    Nick gritted his teeth from pain and pleasure. This was the first time that they would do it without any


    rubber. He loved how sexy she looked. Her eyes are closed and her mouth was slightly open which


    skyrocketed his desire to possess her. He couldn''t stop moaning when she started to slowly move her


    hips.


    She bit her bottom lip in pleasure. His shaft was so hard, thick and long and her core was very slippery.


    She went up and down his c*ck. She could feel his sh*ft rubbing against the walls inside her heat.


    They were both groaning as desire and lust started to take over them. Nick cupped of her breasts as


    her movements became faster. His hands kneading her tits were in sync with her gyration on top of


    him.


    He cursed as he tried very hard to hold his seed. It was about to spurt. She felt his dick hit something


    inside her that sent a thousand of tingling sensation which made her moan his name before trembling a


    little. Nick didn''t waste time. He saw her climaxed so he reversed their position. He rammed her while


    she lies on her back. She wrapped her legs around his hips. He pumped harder and faster.


    She didn''t expect that it''s possible to climax again after a few seconds.


    In this position, his shaft is hitting her G-spot in a different way but the pleasure is the same. She was


    meeting his thrusts. They both let out an animal sound from the back of their throats as they reached


    their peak.


    He made love to her a few more times after that. It was almost morning when he was satiated. As a


    result , she felt sore when she woke up.


    She opened her eyes and saw him sitting on the side of the bed. His torso was bare. He smiled at her.


    "Good morning honey." he greeted her.


    She smiled back and moved to sit down. Her face distorted from the soreness. Even her sides are a bit


    sore.


    "Are you okay honey?" Nick asked worriedly. He helped her sit up.


    "I''ll be fine." she said with a small smile.


    He gave her a peck on the lips and touched her left cheek lightly. "I''m sorry. I was inconsiderate. It


    slipped my mind that I have to take it easy. Forgive me honey. I forgot that we can make love every


    night from now on." he regretfully said.


    "I''m fine. " she touched his hand on her cheek. "What''s that? You made breakfast?"


    There is a tray on the side table. He shed his undies-wrecking smile before getting the tray.


    She chewed the inside of her bottom lip. His backside covered by his boxer shorts is so yummy.


    He turned and saw that she was checking his buttocks out. "If you don''t stop looking at my behind like


    that honey. I will take you again even if you''re still sore." he said with a naughty smile.


    She pouted but she blushed. She moved so she can be near him. They both leaned against the


    headboard. He put the tray on hisp. There were 2 pieces of croissant, butter, jam, ham and eggs.


    There was a cup of coffee and a ss of orange juice.


    "I didn''t know that you can cook."


    Nick beamed as he thered butter on the croissant.


    " I owe it to the microwave and toaster. I am actually thankful because now that you are here maybe


    you can cook for me every day." he joked.


    "Hmm. Did you just want me here so I can cook for you? " she asked with a smile before she took a


    bite of the croissant which Nick moved close to her mouth.


    He chuckled. After she took a bite, he did too.


    "Aren''t we going to the office yet? It''s past 8."


    "I don''t think you can go to work in that state. We can go thereter in the afternoon. I need to sign


    some documents. Come on taste this." he said when he forked a sliced of ham.


    "I will take a pain reliever then I will be okay ."


    "Okay. After breakfast you can do that. We will get you a car."


    She didn''t defy him anymore. It''s useless anyway. He offered to help her in the bathroom and as she


    expected, he made love to her in the shower. He was very gentle and she enjoyed every moment. The


    pain reliever worked wonders.


    ***


    It took a while before they settled for a Honda Civic. The cars he wanted for her were way too


    expensive for her liking.


    "You are my woman for Pete''s sake! I can give you any of those high-end luxurious car!"


    "Honey, I made it clear to you that I don''t want you to buy me a car but I am finally saying yes to end


    this bickering. But if you insist what you like for me I won''t use it! " she firmly said.


    "I can f*cking afford to buy you anything dammit!" he rasped.


    "NO! Either you get the car I want or don''t get me any thing at all!" she said jutting out her chin at him.


    She is getting really annoyed. Nick is being bossy again and she doesn''t like it.


    Nick''s assistant Adrian, looked ufortable as he listens to them. He was probably very surprised


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    that his boss is buying the most expensive car for a very pretty woman but she kept on refusing it. If it


    were another woman, he was sure that the car had been out of the shop in no time.


    Nickbed his hair with his hand. He probably feels that he has to give in.


    "Okay! But I will have it customize in one of my shops before you use it!"


    She rolled her eyes but she said nothing anymore. He agreed finally and that what matters most.


    "Adrian! Prepare all the necessary documents!"he told his assistant.


    "Okay sir, I need your signature here." Nick'' staff pointed at some papers.


    She found the right moment to have a breather. "Honey I will just get a bottle of water in the waiting


    area. "


    "I''ll ask one of my staff to bring you one! You don''t need to go there! " Nick said with furrowed brows.


    "No need to bother anyone! I can do it! " She almost sighed in relief when he just nodded though he is


    frowning heavily.


    "Don''t be too long!"


    She nodded before turning to leave.


    Geez! We have been an official couple for just a few hours but we were already arguing! She thought.


    Nick''s high-handedness is resurfacing. She shook her head. She shouldn''tin because she


    knew that was his nature .It really might take a while before she can fully adjust. She stopped in her


    tracks when she saw a familiar face in the waiting area.


    "Stacey?"


    Tyler, her former boss and suitor was also very surprised to see her.

 Chapter 69

    Chapter 69


    She said a quiet hello to him. She felt a bit ufortable when he beamed and approached her. She


    nced at the hallway where she came from, worried that Nick woulde out any moment.


    "How have you been?" He really sounded pleased to see her.


    "I''m good. How about you? What happened to you? Haven''t heard from you for a while. " She asked


    because she was a bit curious why he didn''t call her again after they went outst time which was a


    little strange.


    He didn''t answer immediately. He was busy running his eyes on her face like he hadn''t seen her for a


    very long time.


    "You seem more beautiful now." he said in a breathy voice and she timidly smiled. " Can we have


    coffee at the cafe in front?"


    She didn''t expect his sudden invitation. Her forehead creased. " I''m sorry. I can''t."


    "Please? Even for just 15 minutes? " his eyes are pleading.


    (Nick)


    He looked at his watch. He finished signing all the documents. His brows knitted. Stacey had been


    gone for a long time. She said she would just get a bottle of water. She had been gone for 5 minutes.


    "Sir, Ronan is on the phone." He heard Adrian say.


    He nodded. " Bring the car to the other branch now. I will tell Ronan what to do with it." He instructed.


    "Okay sir."


    He walked to the table where thendline was.


    "Ronan, Adrian will bring my girlfriend''s car. I trust your work. Do everything you think is best. Call


    Jonathan. He will install the tracking device. Last time Pete f*cked up. I don''t want any problems like


    that again." That he said in a low voice . His eyes went to the hallway. He didn''t want Stacey hearing


    what he just said.


    "Copy sir. By the way, Mr. Cordero ising there today. His car arrived this morning."


    "F*ck!" he cursed after putting the receiver down in a hurry.


    (Stacey)


    Her anxiety is increasing. Nick coulde out anytime. She didn''t want to have another argument. He


    was really jealous of her former bossst time she went out with him.


    "I have to go Tyler." She turned to go but he held her arm.


    "Stacey..."


    GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" Nick''s thunderous voice ordered.


    Tyler released her and he turned a bit pale. Her eyes went to Nick. She swallowed because he looked


    murderous. He pulled her none too gently to his side.


    "Do you know what I do to people who f*ck with me?" He asked Tyler in a very cold voice.


    Her eyes went to him then to Tyler then back to Nick''s face again. She frowned.


    "I-I w-was just saying hi to her." his voice sounded a bit shaky.


    Her former boss is trying very hard to hold hisposure but she could sense that he was scared of


    Nick.


    Why is he afraid of Nick? she asked herself.


    "Don''t you dare move Cordero! We will talk!"


    He almost dragged her to his office. She was repeatedly calling him by their endearment but he was


    ignoring her.


    "Stay here! Don''te out!!" he said angrily when they got inside his office.


    She nodded while massaging her arm. He was out of the room like a sh. She sat on the sofa. Why of


    all people would she see Tyler here? Nick had be more jealous now that they are a real couple.


    She thought of calling Derick while Nick was out. She remembered that they were supposed to meet


    today. She got her phone and dialed his number but there was no dial tone. She sighed. They needed


    to talk. She had to give back the bracelet but she had no choice but to just send a text message to him.


    To: Dee


    I have been trying to contact you these past few days. Please call or message me when you read this. I


    have to tell something really important.


    She was leafing through a magazine when the door was flung open. Nick''s face was very grim. He


    mmed the door behind him.


    "H-Honey? What happened?" Her voice sounded small.


    His eyes are like fireballs. "Why were you talking to that *sshole?!" he asked angrily. He grabbed her


    arm and pulled her to him.


    "H-He j-just said hi."


    "His filthy hand was on you arm for f*ck sake!"


    "You''re hurting me!" sheined.


    However scared she was of him, she should do her best to be a bit feisty. This was supposed to be a


    new life for her .She got tired of being the underdog most of the time. She knew how condescending he


    was but she mustn''t let him control her whenever he wanted .


    She was surprised but she felt relieved when he loosened his hold.


    "I don''t believe you! What did he say to you?! The f*cking d*ckhead was drooling over you! "


    "He just asked how I am! That''s all!"


    "Oh yeah?! Why the f*ck was he holding your arm if he was just asking how you were?!"


    She heaved a sigh. "Yesterday it was ke we fought about and now it''s Tyler? Honey what''s with


    you? We are already a couple so why are you still jealous of them?"


    He drew her closer to him. " I don''t want any man near you! Especially those two *ssholes!" he said in a


    steely voice.


    It was tiring to bicker with him but she couldn''t me him if was angry again. She felt that he would


    probably not change. He would always be jealous of any male. She had to pacify him so the squabble


    would at least lessen a bit.


    "Look honey I may sound like a broken record but please listen. ke is just a friend. Tyler may have


    wooed me before but I didn''t say yes to him because I didn''t want to. I am hoping that you would


    believe me. I love you and I am all yours." she huskily said and gave him a peck on the lips.


    Nick''s eyes narrowed. He loved hearing her say that. "You really shouldn''t forget that honey." he said


    then covered her lips with his.


    She tiptoed and sped her arms around his nape. He ended the kiss then released her. "Wait honey!"


    he said before walking to the door to lock it. He hurriedly went back to her.


    " Do you wanna do it on the couch ?" his voice sounds throaty.


    Her body reacted to his suggestion." Are you sure? Someone might look for you. "


    "Let''s have a quickie." he muttered throatily . He moved back a bit to open his fly then lead her to the


    couch. "Pull up your skirt honey."


    She bit her bottom lip. They are really going to do it at his office! She is excited but a bit nervous too.


    What if someone knocked? They would know they were doing what couples normally do privately if


    they won''t open the door. But she couldn''t and she won''t say no to him so she did what he told her. She


    need to stop brooding about what his staff would think.


    She''s wearing a tight-fitting knee-length skirt. She raised it until her red bikini was exposed.


    "Come here." he told her as his dark eyes looked at her underwear.


    She slowly went to him as she held her breath.


    "You really wear the sexiest undies honey." His voice was breathy.


    He pulled hercy garment down. His eyes turned even darker when he saw her shaved p*ssy. He


    cupped it then slid one finger inside. She shut her eyes.


    "You are ready for me honey. Straddle me." Nick said hoarsely. He took out his sh*ft from his briefs.


    It seemed like it had a life of its own. It stood proudly. He got her hand and she positioned herself.


    When her most private part was on top of his d*ck, he guided it inside her with his right hand . He


    closed his eyes and his breathing became ragged. She sat on it. Her hands were on his shoulders. He


    groaned when his member was enclosed by her heat.


    "Kiss me while you move above me honey."


    She moaned against his lips as they did their French kiss. His hands are on her waist as she moved


    her lower body up and down. They are both moaning while their tongues are intertwined.


    Her movements became faster. She tore her lips from his as she felt pleasure esctes .Nick threw his


    head with his eyes shut.


    Up..down...faster..harder...


    "Ohhh.." she cried out..


    "Ahhh f*ck!" he groaned .


    She buried her face on his neck while gasping for breath.He kissed the side of her head,inhaling her


    hair. He was breathing heavily too.


    "That was awesome again honey." he murmured against her hair.


    "I love you." she whispered against his neck. She kissed his skin and sniffed his wonderful and


    addictive manly scent.


    He was moving his hand on her back and was kissing her hair. They just stayed like that for a few


    moments while his member still inside her.


    She raised her face and looked at his eyes. "Honey can I ask you something?"


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    He shed his sexy smile. " Sure. Anything honey but stay still. I like my d*ck inside your delicious


    heat." he said.


    She nodded. She also liked their very intimate position.


    " You said something about people who f*cked with you. What do you mean? What did Tyler do? " she


    asked as her right index finger drew circles on his broad chest.


    He didn''t respond at once. His expression became nk as he looked at her.


    "I gave him a very expensive car so he would stop pursuing you." he said.

 Chapter 70

    Chapter 70


    They were inside his car. He would drop her off at his unit before he''d go to his main office. He told her


    she didn''t have to work today.


    She couldn''t stop thinking about what he said after they had a quickie.


    "B-But why did you do that?" tanong niya sa nobyo.


    His eyes like slits, he looked at her and said, " I will do anything to keep you. I told you before that


    nothing or no one can take you away from me. What''s mine is just mine. "


    He didn''t even care about the huge sum of money he lost. Tyler got a really expensive sports car.She


    shook her head to try topletely forget


    "I will be back soon. Do you want to dine outter? " She heard him asked.


    She turned to him. He''s back to being sweet. Getting used to his mood swings was a little hard.


    "Honey?" His forehead creased.


    She sighed heavily and nodded. "Tomorrow I will go to the office with you, okay? "


    "Sure. If that''s what you want." he replied with a sexy grin. "But you don''t need to work honey. I can


    provide everything for you." His eyes went back to the road.


    "I am used to fending for myself."


    He took her hand and put it on hisp." The situation is different now. I am your man and you are my


    woman. I want to take care of you. Just tell me what you want honey okay? "


    " I don''t want you showering me with gifts. I won''t feelfortable if you do that.." she said while her


    eyes were outside the window.


    "I will give you gifts if I want to .Throw them if you don''t want them!" He said sounding a bit annoyed.


    Stacey just shook her head. "Honey, you shouldn''t splurge on things we don''t need. That''s a waste of


    money.


    " I worked very hard to be where I am now without my family''s help so If I want to spend money on


    what I want, I can and I will. You are my woman and it makes me happy when I buy things for you. I am


    well-off so I can afford it. Don''t worry, I am sponsoring certain charities honey . I don''t only spend


    money for myself. I strongly believe in sharing my blessings." he exined.


    She just stared at him in awe. Her boyfriend was really extraordinary. His personality was a bit


    confusing but from time to time, her discoveries about him made her admire him more. Probably many


    women were after him because he was awesome in so many ways. She was really lucky he chose her


    to be his first girlfriend. The least she could do is try harder to stand his possessiveness and jealousy.


    She also had to get used to his generosity. She wished herself good luck.


    She thought that he was just dropping her off but to her suprised, he went up to his unit with her. He


    even reminded her again to take a nap because they didn''t have much sleepst night. He said he''d be


    away for around two hours. She stifled a sigh when he finally left again. She was not ustomed to


    being cared for and worried about. Nick was doing both and she wasn''t sure if she liked it or not.


    She took a quick shower then decided to check her cell phone. She was hoping Deick messaged or


    had a missed call but there was nothing. Instead the missed call was from Tyler.


    Frowning, she dialed his number. She made a note to delete her call history. Nick would go berserk if


    he saw it. After four rings, he took the call.


    "Stacey? "


    "You called me?" she asked and he heaved a sigh.


    "I wanted to talk to you at the auto shop."


    She also released a sigh. She wasn''t angry with him for choosing an expensive car over her. She


    thought of him as a friend from the start. She told him repeatedly that what he felt towards her wasn''t


    reciprocated. It was him who wanted to continue wooing her.


    "I guess you are not with him so you were able to call me." came his sad voice.


    She chose not toment on that. "You shouldn''t call me."


    "Please don''t ever think that I lied to you from the beginning. I really have strong feelings for you. I


    continued to pursue you because I wanted you to be my girl but..." he sounds emotional.


    She sat down on the edge of the bed and massaged her right temple. She is beginning to have a


    headache. Maybe Nick is right,she should take a nap.


    "Look Tyler, you don''t have to exin anything. It''s okay."


    "No it''s not. You have to listen to me. Your...boyfriend is a very dangerous man. I was forced to choose


    the car. Either I take the car or he will do everything to ruin me. He is very powerful and influential. He


    said that I better take something expensive from him in exchange for my wooing you. So you see


    Stacey.. I didn''t have a choice." he revealed.


    She put her hand on her mouth. She is shocked.


    "When I saw you again today , I realized I couldn''t do it. You are more important but he got really angry.


    He said that we made a deal. And if I break it..." his voice faded.


    "Nick will never do such a thing.." she said but she doubted if she fully believed that. She thought about


    what he said, no one can take her away from him and he could do very bad things to anyone who


    would attempt to do that.


    "He can and he will because he is obsessed with you." Tyler said.


    Obsessed with you...obsessed with you.....


    What Tyler said kept on echoing in her mind. Could it be true?


    She stood up. No! Tyler is probably just fabricating stories. He is washing his hands of the deal he


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    made with Nick.


    But why would he do something like that? Does he want Nick and her to break up? Maybe he couldn''t


    ept the fact that she said yes to Nick after only knowing him for a short time while he had pursued


    her for several months but to no avail.


    She took some pain reliever from her bag and went to the kitchen to get a ss of water. She was


    ready to go to the bedroom when something made her turn to Nick''s small office.


    Should she dare go inside?


    Chewing the inside of her cheek, she put the ss down on the center table in the small living room. A


    feeling of curiosity started to surface. Like a housebreaker, she slowly turned the knob. It wasn''t locked.


    With a heavy sigh, she opened it and peeked inside. She will look inside. Nick didn''t say that she was


    off-limits anyway.


    It was average- sized. There were two seats on the left side of the room. There was a coffee table too.


    His office table and chair were at the center. Nick doesn''t seem to prefer plush offices and units. He is


    more into high-end cars. She move forward. There was aptop on the table. She tapped a key and


    her eyes opened wide when she saw her face on his screen.


    He cropped one of her photos from the pictures of Not Eye Candy magazine. She couldn''t contain a


    smile. She wondered if he used her photo as his phone''s lock screen too. With a happy and giddy


    feeling, she opened the left drawer of his table. There were some pens and documents. She closed it


    and opened the center drawer. Her forehead creased when she saw 4 copies of Not Eye Candy where


    she was the cover. They were neatly arranged in a row. The one on top had her face on the cover. The


    others were also open but they are showing different pages. The 2nd one is a close-up photo of her.


    On the third magazine, she was leaning against a ck wall while she was in a pair ofcy white


    lingerie. Thest one was a picture of her lying on a bed.


    Her hand went to her throat. Was Tyler telling the truth? Should she worry if Nick was really obsessed


    with her?


    She lifted one of the magazines then she saw a key under it. She picked it up then she realized that it''s


    a motorcycle''s key. She frowned.. . she thought of Derick...

    He is sitting on his chair. He was done signing documents his secretary brought. He balled his hands


    when he remembered his conversation with Tyler at his assistant''s office a few hours ago.


    (shback)


    He grabbed him by the cor when the door was closed.


    "You *sshole! Didn''t I give you what car you wanted?! Why the f*ck were you talking to her?!" He asked


    furiously . His face is red from anger.


    "After seeing Stacey today, I realized I can''t ept the car.." Tyler didn''t finish what he was saying.


    He punched him on the face. He was trying to control his rage. He couldn''t really injure him physically


    because people outside would see the state he would be in, if he beat him up. He would do it one of


    these days but not today.


    "Don''t give me that b*llshit Cordero! I had you investigated! You are in deep shit because of your


    addiction to gambling! You may like Stacey but I am f*cking sure you won''t refuse the car because you


    would sell it to pay your debts! You would have more than enough with that car! I could easily ruin you


    but I didn''t because I feel sorry for you! I know one of the people you borrowed money from! He can be


    very cruel so the best thing you could do to save your *ss is pay him as soon as possible! Stop


    gambling before youpletely ruin your pathetic life! Take the car! Next time I see you near Stacey..I


    will f*cking strangle you with my bare hands!"


    (end of shback)


    Then he remembered that his woman was supposed to meet "Derick" today. He decided as Derick to


    just vanished . Anyway, he got what he wanted already. He had proven that Stacey loves him as Nick.


    He wanted her to meet his family first before he confessed to her. He would tell her the truth but not just


    yet. Tomorrow his family would be back from their trip overseas. He would bring her to his parents''


    home. He smiled and dialed her number. He already missed her. He would finish signing the second


    batch of papers then he woulde home to her.


    He furrowed his brows when she didn''t pick up. Maybe she was still napping so he kust sent her a


    message.


    Honey, we''ll dine outside. I''ll be home in less than an hour. Wear something casual.


    (Stacey)


    She just got back to Nick''s room when she heard her phone''s message alert tone. He called her once


    and he left her a message. She sat on the edge of the bed and read his text message. Then sighing


    she bit her bottom lip.


    She was hesitant to ask him things about him but fortunately or unfortunately, it seems that every day


    she was discovering something. If she didn''t see the key, probably she wouldn''t know that he was also


    into big bikes aside from cars. He and Derick had simrities. They even like the same big bike maker.


    She knew how expensive those monsters on the road were.


    Did she subconsciously liked Nick because he reminded her of Derick in some ways?


    She was being unfair to Nick because she was still thinking of Derick. She couldn''t seem to stop


    remembering him . Even Nick''s big bike''s key reminded her of Derick. It could be because he took her


    virginity. Bute to think of it, was that the reason why Nick was so possessive and jealous? He


    wasn''t her first and he was worried that she would leave him for Derick .


    The sound of her cell phone broke her thoughts.


    "Eve! I was about to call you! " she happily told her friend.


    "Girlfriend I I called because I wanted someone to talk to." Eve''s voice sounded sad.


    "What is it? You know you can tell me anything."


    "It''s about ke. He broke up with Kristel because he had been hearing rumors that she was having an


    affair with a pilot. "


    "What?" She didn''t expect that because she knew ke''s rtionship with his girlfriend would end up


    in marriage soon.


    "But what angers me is that b*tch got the nerve to say that it was ke who was two timing her. Her


    mother told her about seeing us at the seafood restaurant and she used ke of cheating her with


    you!"


    She groaned in frustration. Her temples are throbbing. The medicine''s effect waned because of what


    Eve said. She said sorry and goodbye to her friend.


    She closed the blinds and lied on the bed.


    Nick frowned when he opened the bedroom''s door. The room was in total darkness. It''s barely 4 PM.


    He switched on the lights but Stacey moaned.


    "Honey? Are you okay?" he worriedly asked. He saw her lying on the bed with her hands covering her


    eyes.


    "Please switch off the lights.." her voice was in agony.


    He quickly did what she requested and sat on the edge of the bed to hold her hand.


    "Honey, what''s wrong?" he asked worriedly.


    "I have migraine attack. I can''t tolerate brightness."


    "Shit!" Nick cursed but in a small voice. He really can''t bear seeing her in pain. He kissed her forehead.


    "Do you want me to call a doctor?"


    She shook her head. "I''ll be okayter. I took some pain killer."


    "Okay. I''ll lie next to you.." he said.


    Nick stood up to take off his clothes. He was just in his white briefs.


    "Is the temperature of the room okay honey? Or do you want me to adjust the thermostat?" he asked


    as he slid on the bed next to her. He wrapped her in his arms kissed the side of her face.


    "It''s okay." she whispered.


    "Take a nap honey. I won''t leave you. " he whispered .


    She nestled her face against his neck. Nick kissed the top of her head.


    ***


    She woke up when she felt someone is kissing her neck.


    "Hmmmm" she moaned.


    "Honey.." Nick whispered against her skin ."Are you feeling better?" He stopped kissing her neck.


    "Yes." she said huskily. "You can turn thempshade on if you want." She wants to see his handsome


    face.


    He reached for it and the yellow light brightened the room a little. He smiled at her before showering


    her lips with kisses.


    "Hmmm..what ... time... is it... honey?" she asked in between his kisses.


    "It''s past 6. Are you hungry?" he asked and she nodded.


    He sighed before pulling her to him. He his tightly hugging her.


    "I don''t like seeing you in pain honey .Do you often have migraine attacks?" he asked.


    "Yes specially when I am stressed or when the weather is fickle."


    Nick put a small distance between them so he could see her lovely face clearly. " The weather is fine so


    you must be stressed. What brought about your stress? We were okay when I Ieft you hours ago. " He


    looked puzzled.


    She moistened her lips. She couldn''t tell him about ke.


    "Honey?" he sounds impatient.


    "Most of the times I can''t seem to understand you. You are so moody honey."


    He sighed heavily. "Honey you know why I get pissed."


    She released a small smile. He shed a smile too. He tucked some of her hair behind her right ear.


    "I badly want to make love to you but you have to eat. So do you want to dine out? Or do you want me


    to whip up something?"


    "I want to eat out honey." she answered while running her finger on his jaw with stubble.


    This close, Nick is more extremely good-looking. She swallowed a moan.


    He grinned. "Why are you looking at me like that honey? Are you falling harder for me?"


    She yfully pinched his cheek. "Conceited!"


    He gave her a peck on the lips. "So what do you want to eat honey?" he asked.


    "I want steak." she said.


    "Okay. I will bring you to my favorite steakhouse.


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    " Thanks honey. But can I make a request?"


    He cupped her face and kissed the top of her nose.


    "Anything honey. What is it?" he asked.


    She chewed the bottom of her lip. "Can we use your big bike tonight?"

    Chapter 72


    (Nick)


    What the f*ck?! How the hell did she know about my big bike? he asked himself.


    He leaned against the headboard. He didn''t usually get surprised that could make him lost for words


    but when he met Stacey very often her questions orments left him speechless . And he had to


    really think deeply about a lot of things concerning her and their rtionship. She had really changed


    him in many ways. Strange as it might seems, he was beginning to like it. She was actually a good


    influence. She had been very vocal that she didn''t approve of how he spent his money. She sounded


    like a typical girlfriend or even a wife. He liked that very much. He knew she was may concerned about


    him.


    "What?" he asked her with furrowed brows.


    Stacey also sat on the bed.


    "Sorry honey I went to the other room and opened your drawers. I saw your magazines and your

    motorcycle''s key." she confessed and he raked his fingers through his hair .


    "Are you angry? I''m sorry honey." she apologized.


    He should have been more careful. He didn''t want to lock the study because he wanted her to feel that


    his unit was also hers. He blew some air through his mouth.


    "No. It''s okay. Consider my stuff as yours honey...among other things." he said.


    He had to think of an excuse about the big bike. It would be too risky He was not yet ready to tell her


    about "Derick."


    "So you saw the magazines?" he asked as he stared at her.


    She also leaned like what he was doing. She had her eyes on him. She nodded. He framed her face.


    " You don''t know how happy I am that finally I have you here with me. You make me happy honey.." he


    kissed the tip of her nose.


    "I know how crazy you are about me." she joked.


    He chuckled then kissed the top of her head. " If you only knew how obsessed I am with you." he


    thought.


    "I didn''t know that you have a big bike too. ." shemented.


    His face became serious. "I haven''t used it for a long time. Ronan is working on it. I wanted more


    essories." he said.


    He was actually telling the truth. That big bike was what "Derick" used. It was very memorable to him.


    "So we can''t use it tonight?" she sounded disappointed.


    "I''m afraid not honey. Maybe next week. " he smiled a little and Stacey just shrugged her shoulders.


    (Stacey)


    She was really disappointed . She was excited to experience how it was to ride his motorbike with him.


    She felt safe when she was with Derick and she was sure that she would feel safer with Nick because


    of the care he had been showing her.


    "Let''s get ready...not unless you want to make love first?" he said with a naughty smile on his lips.


    She smiled seductively at him. She touched his lips with her fingers." We can do thatter. I might not


    be able tost from hunger. But a little petting won''t hurt." Her voice was husky.


    His eyes turned dark. He didn''t waste any time.He drew her to him and kissed her deeply. His right


    hand was roaming on the upper part of her body. She also felt his chiseled body .Every touch was


    sending desire in their veins. When Nick felt that they had to stop before he could no longer control


    himself, he tore his lips from hers.


    "You make me crazy about you day by day honey .So please try to understand if I have be more


    possessive ."


    "B-But honey.." she began to protest but he cut in.


    "Eat a lot. You will need all the strength and energy you haveter."


    She just nodded. Being Nick Alcantara''s woman had a lot of pros and cons.


    Nick was still looking annoyed as he drove. While they were getting ready, she told him that she


    wanted to go to Eve''s ce to be a shoulder to cry on for her.


    "Honey please don''t be like that." she pleaded.


    "Just ask her toe over . I will leave you two alone. I will be in my study." he suggested with a frown.


    She sighed heavily. "I don''t think she would befortable if she knew that you were at home. Okay


    we will just go to the cafe near the condo. We won''t be long."


    She couldn''t me him. He probably thought that ke mighte too.


    " I give you my word honey. It will be just the two of us."


    It took a while before he replied. They were almost at the steakhouse.


    "I will call Ronan and tell him to finish your car tomorrow morning. If he can''t, my driver will bring you to


    the cafe and wait for you." he said firmly and she just rolled her eyes.


    His mood became better when they started eating."How''s the steak honey?" he asked.


    "Good." she said before putting a piece in her mouth.


    "They serve the best steak here. Well-aged." he smiled with satisfaction.


    "Do you often eat here honey?" she asked as she drank her red wine.


    She was positive that the meals cost an arm and a leg. Nick could afford to eat here as often as he


    wanted. He allowed he r to have some wine because she was with him.


    "I have beening here for maybe five years now. I will bring you to all my favorite restaurants and


    ces."


    He took a sip of his wine .His eyes never leaving her face. She was making an effort to tone down her


    looks but it wasn''t working. Nick looked around the ce. He saw men ncing at her from time to


    time. He didn''t like that at all.


    "Finish your food honey . I want to go home now." She heard him say.


    She looked at him with a frown. He was in a ck mood again. She put her fork and knife down. She


    really had to say something about his mood swings.


    "What''s the hurry? And why do you look angry?"


    He didn''t answer .Instead he took his phone and checked it. His lips are set in a thin line.


    She sighed. "Your being moody is really stressful honey."


    His narrowed eyes went to her. "Can''t you do something with your hair?" he suddenly asked.


    His out of the blue question took her by surprise. Her hair was cascading down her back. She didn''t


    know that Nick thought that it made her more attractive.


    "What? What''s wrong with my hair?" she couldn''t hide her annoyance.


    He slid his phone in his pocket and raked his hand through his hair before gulping some booze.


    SHIT! I am being a jerk again! he reprimanded himself.


    He shook his head while he wrinkled his brows. "Forget it! Continue eating" he said curtly.


    She just shook her head and toyed with her food.


    "What time are you meeting Eve tomorrow?"


    "After work. Around 6."


    " You can leave the office around 1 PM so you can meet her earlier.. " he said casually.


    " Honey, I have been absent for a few days already so I will get off the usual time."


    "I am your boss so if I say you leave the office at 1 then just do it!" he said with finality.


    "I don''t want people there talking about us more ! They might think that I am taking advantage of the


    situation because I am your girlfriend!"


    Nick just raised his left brow. "You know my answer to that honey. You are my woman so get used to


    those kind of things. People will talk whether we like it or not so don''t mind them." he said while giving a


    nonchnt shrug.


    "Babe! Nice to see you here." a woman''s voice said.


    She could recognize that voice anywhere. She got back to her food and tried to ignore Tanya. She


    listened as they exchanged pleasantries. She heard one of the vacant chairs moved.


    "Hi!" came Tanya''s voice again.


    "Honey." Nick called her.


    She has no choice but to look up from her steak. She swallowed the meat in her mouth then wiped her


    lips with the napkin. She said a cold hello.


    By the looks of it, tonight might be the first time she will be in a cat fight. The other woman is wearing a


    very revealing red mini-dress. Her smile looks really fake just like the rest of her. She could feel Nick''s


    eyes are on her but she didn''t turn to him. She didn''t want to take her eyes off Tanya.


    "I want to apologize for what happenedst time. I think I offended you."Tanya said in a sugary voice.


    She also shed a fake smile . "That''s okay. Nick exined everything to me already." She nced at


    her man and his lips broke into a sexy smile.


    "Have you been here long babe?" Tanya asked him.


    Nick frowned before nodding.


    "Tanya?"she called the b*tch who was drooling over her man. Both of them looked at her. "Stop calling


    my boyfriend, babe! I don''t like it! And it''s inappropriate. People might think that he is a two-timer. Do


    you agree with me honey? " her voice was a bit husky.


    Nick nodded . He looks pleased that she was being territorial like him. She heard Tanya sighed but she


    just said okay.


    That was easy! She thought.


    "Can I order some food? I am starving!" the other woman told Nick and he just nodded.


    She almost gritted her teeth. She didn''t expect him to let this whore eat with them. She would deal with


    himter. She suppressed her annoyance as she picked her fork and knife again and began slicing her


    meat. She was imagining her steak to be Tanya''s neck. She tried to ignore them as they talk. Then she


    felt a movement under the table and her heart thumped. She purposely dropped her napkin. When she


    picked it up, she saw Tanya''s foot going up Nick''s leg.


    She straightened and saw Nick frowning and Tanya is looking at the menu with a knowing smile on her


    face. She gritted her teeth.


    This is war! she told herself.

 Chapter 73

    Chapter 73


    She stood up and pretended to identally knock over the wine ss .


    "Oh no!!" yelped Tanya . Her dress got wet.


    Nick stood up too and gave Tanya a napkin.


    "Gosh! I am so sorry." she said as she also got her own napkin and tried to help Tanya wipe her dress


    stained with the red wine.


    "My dress! It''s ruined!!" She sounded as if she was about to cry.


    "Let''s go to the restroom. We''ll try to wash it off." she suggested and Tanya got off the chair.


    "Will you be okay honey?" Nick asked her. Without looking at him, she just nodded.


    When they got inside, "You slut! You did that deliberately didn''t you?" Tanya used her angrily. She


    turned on the tap to wet her napkin and dab her stained dress.


    She on one hand walked to the door and locked it before confronting her. "Who are you calling a slut?


    Look at yourself in that big mirror! You look like a whore! Why do you keep throwing yourself at Nick?


    Isn''t it obvious that he is not interested?!"


    Tanya red at her. " I am not doing that! I don''t have to! Nick and I have an unusual agreement which


    of course he didn''t tell you. I am his favorite sex mate. "


    Stacey pouted. "Tell that to the marines! Bitter ex-bed warmers usually say such things. You deny that


    you are flinging yourself at him but look at you!"


    She was cursing Nick in her head. He said he only used to fuck women once but ording to Tanya


    they did it more than once.


    "Do you want me to tell you how many times I have given him a head? I really know how to take care of


    him. Do you know that he likes having sex against the wall?" she revealed with a smirk.


    She saw red . The inner hellcat in her wanted to strangle the other woman. She roamed her eyes.


    When she saw what she was looking for, she picked it up. Tanya cried out when she threw the trash in


    the bin at her.


    She pushed her against the wall and she encircled her throat with her left hand. She showed her the


    steak knife she secretly brought with her. The other woman looked terrified.


    "Listen to what I have to say you bitch! I don''t give a damn whatever desperate things you did to my


    man! I am sure that he only f*cked you once because you told me about his motto, one woman, one


    f*ck! If you did it once against the wall, FYI we did a lot of sexual positions which you probably dream of


    doing with him but dream on! Nick makes love to me several times a day because he can''t get enough


    of me! Beat that, you slut! Go buy yourself a vibrator to suck and f*ck because you can never be with


    him ever again! Next time you throw yourself at him. I will sh your throat! Do you hear me?" She


    moved the steak knife closer to Tanya''s face.


    Nick''s ex-whore just nodded with her eyes wide. "Yes."


    She released her then. She got the empty bin and put it on the sink. Her eyes are not leaving the


    woman''s face while still holding the steak knife.


    "W-What are you doing?" she asked in a very scared voice.


    Her eyes are spitting fire, she said. " I will give you what a filthy bitch like you deserve! " She then threw


    the water at her which made the bitch shrieked.


    (Nick)


    He is pacing the corridor near the women''s restroom. He is hoping that Tanya didn''t say anything which


    could anger Stacey. She would really do anything to ruin their rtionship. He couldn''t believe that she


    did that thing under their table. Her foot went up his leg so before it could go higher, he was about to


    stand but then Stacey identally knocked the wine ss.


    He felt relieved upon seeing his woman finally got out of the restroom. His brows knitted because her


    face is red and she seemed furious.


    "Honey?" he walked to her but she glowered at him.


    " We are going to talk!!" she said angrily.


    "F*cking hell!" he cursed under his breath. Tanya must have said something to her.


    "Okay honey. Let''s go home and talk there." he suggested. He reached for her hand .


    "Don''t you dare touch me!!" She said through clenched teeth before she started walking .


    Hebed his hair using his hand in frustration. He knows that it will be a long night. His woman looks


    really angry, thanks to Tanya.


    "I want to talk somewhere! Not at your unit! " Stacey said chillingly.


    He sighed heavily and didn''t argue. They drove in silence. From time to time he was throwing her a


    nce. He couldn''t see her face because she was looking outside the window.


    " I will bring the car to the basement parking first. Let''s talk in the pool area.No one goes there around


    this time."


    Stacey didn''t even react. She got off as soon as the car was parked.


    He shook his head. He tried once again to reach her hand but as expected, she didn''t want to be held.


    "You walk ahead!" she told him.


    The pool area was empty. Stacey sulkily sat down on one of the garden chairs. He pulled another chair


    so he could sit near her.


    "You can sit next to me but don''t touch me!" His woman said. Again, he didn''t argue.


    She folded her arms on her chest. Her eyes are narrowed. "ording to Tanya, she sucked your d*ck


    many times and you like doing it against the wall."


    He cursed through gritted teeth.


    Stacey raised one brow. "Is that true honey?"


    Exasperated , he grabbed some of his hair before standing up to face the pool.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    "What''s with your reaction honey? Is your favorite sexmate telling the truth or she just wanted to pissed


    me?" Stacey asked in a sharine voice.


    He felt her stand next to him. "I want to know if your ex was lying or not!" He heard her say.


    He angrily turned to face her. "She is not my ex! I don''t have an ex because before you I didn''t consider


    any of those women as my girlfriend!"


    "Well if you will not answer me you will have your first ex tonight!"


    (Stacey)


    She wanted to take back what she said. Nick''s face turned red and his eyes have a scary expression.


    "W-Why can''t you answer my question?" she asked but her tone was lower.


    He walked menacingly towards her. She swallowed to hide her fear.


    He took hold of her chin firmly and raised it.


    Through clenched teeth he said, " Please tell me that you didn''t mean what you just said


    honey...because if you do..I f*cking swear... I will get violent."

 Chapter 74

    Chapter 74


    "Let go! " She protested. She tried to take his hand off her chin.


    He shouldn''t know how terrified she was of him. She had seen how violent he could be when provoked


    but she was confident that when ites to her, Nick was all bark and no bite. Besides he was the one


    who had some exining to do.


    Instead of releasing her, his hand held her firmer. His other arm was now on her back to pull her


    towards him. She was trapped.


    "Did you mean what you just f*cking said?" She was shaken by his very cold voice but his question


    made her think if she wanted to really break up with him.


    "Don''t even think about leaving me honey! You won''t get far! I can find you easily! And when I find you,


    which I will in no time, I will definitely teach you a lesson that you will never ever forget! "his voice was


    petrifying.


    She felt her heart missed a beat. She believed him. She couldn''t mess with him and honestly, she


    didn''t want to.


    She had to ask him again about Tanya''s revtion to distract him a bit and to hide her fear. "Is there


    any truth to what that bitch said?!"


    Without releasing her, he said through clenched teeth, " Yes but it was all in the past. It all happened a


    long time ago."


    This was what she was dreading having to deal with . It was all in the past but it was painful. She


    should be ready all the time in case she identally met his former flings and bed warmers . She


    should toughen up. This was one of the disadvantages of being his woman.


    "I said let me go! You are straining my neck!" She lied ."Any woman would be angry if she were in my


    situation!" she added.


    His nearness and manly scent was as usual arousing her. She might be angry and jealous but her body


    couldn''t stop reacting to him.


    Reluctantly, he released her. She immediately put a distance between them. She sat down again. With


    a heavy sigh, Nick sat himself down too on the seat next to her.


    They were both silent while they were gazing at the pool.


    "This will be thest time that we''ll talk about this. I already told you about the women in my past.


    Tanya was a little different from them because she was my first but I only did it once with her. I won''t


    deny that she pleasured me a few times. She wanted more but I didn''t . I had other women but as I''ve


    said, it was just sex. I am sorry that she had to tell you all that. She wants to get back at you. She will


    do anything to be in your position. So please honey let''s not give her the satisfaction that she can break


    our rtionship. No one and nothing can do that to us!" he said thest part as he stares at her left


    profile.


    She embraced herself .She was hurt hearing Tanya''s words though she knew that Nick cares about her


    a lot. "Please honey, I just want to be alone. I will go up in a few minutes. Just let me be for a while. "


    She heard him cursed so she threw him a nce


    "I wille and get you if you didn''te up in 30 minutes! And believe me I won''t be gentle!" he


    threatened before leaving angrily.


    She just let out a sigh. A leopard can''t change its spots. She thought.


    She heard her phone ringing. She took it out from the small pocket of her dress. Eve was calling her.


    She frowned because her battery was almost running out.


    "Girlfriend! Pleasee over." Her friend sounded hysterical.


    "Where are you?" she asked worriedly and stood up. She started walking.


    "I am at Lucille''s. I will tell you everything when you get here. Please hurry! ." Now Eve was crying.


    "I''ll be there!" She would just take the taxi because Lucille''s apartment was not far. She was the former


    pianist of Eve''s band. She would just exin to Nickter.


    ***


    Nick was fuming. It was exactly half an hour when he started calling Stacey but her phone was off. He


    angrily went down to the pool area again only to find out that she wasn''t there. He kicked the garden


    chairs furiously. Then his phone started making a noise. The private eye he contacted a day ago was


    calling him.


    "Sir, I gathered some information about ke Acosta." he said.


    ***


    She was consoling Eve as she cried.Apparently someone saw Lance, her fiance with a pregnant


    woman at the mall which was three hours away. He told her that he was going out of town for business.


    Eve had been trying to call him but she couldn''t seem to connect.She advised her friend to just wait


    until she talked to Lance to clear things. She and Lucille were worried that she might do something


    stupid because she was roaring drunk. They stayed with her until she fell asleep. It was a good thing


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    that Lucille''s roommate was overseas so Eve could stay for a couple of days with her. She would just


    go back the next morning to check on her. She was about to call Nick but her battery died already. She


    would just tell everything when she get home. She was hoping that he wouldn''t be too mad.


    ***


    The private eye told Nick that ke and his girlfriend just broke up. Apparently the woman discovered


    that Eve''s cousin was cheating on her. He was enraged thinking that it was Stacey ke cheated with.


    They were at Sonny''s seafood restaurant together with Eve the other day. After the phone call, he


    decided to go to Eve and ke''s bar. He would beat thetter to death. He used his big bike so he


    could go there quickly. He didn''t care that Stacey might see her on it. Unfortunately, ke was not at


    the bar nor at his unit so he just went home. He was expecting Stacey to be at his unit when he got


    back but she wasn''t. Her phone was still off. Full of rage, he took a bottle of alcohol. He told himself


    that he would go back to ke''s unit if his woman won''t return after 20 minutes. And if Stacey was with


    him, he would do the unthinkable.


    (Stacey)


    Carefully, she turned the knob of the entrance door. The lights were on but Nick wasn''t there. She sat


    on the couch for a few moments to think about Eve''s situation. She felt so sorry for her. She closed her


    eyes and massaged her temples. She was beginning to have a headache. She leaned her head to


    ease the pain a little before she went to the bedroom . After 5 minutes, she stood up and switched off


    the lights. A warm bath was what she needed.


    The bedroom is a little dark . She closed the door quietly. She cried out in surprise when the light


    brightened the room.


    Nick was sitting on the couch holding a bottle of whiskey which was half full. He gulped some booze


    without taking his eyes off her.


    "H-Honey? I t-thought you were asleep." she couldn''t hide the nervousness in her voice.


    "Where the f*ck have you been?!" he asked in a spine-chilling voice.


    His face is a little flushed and she didn''t know it was due to the alcohol or anger.


    "H-Honey...sorry I had to .."


    She let out a scream when Nick angrily got up and threw the bottle at the wall.


    Stacey shut her eyes as she leaned against the door. She couldn''t'' bear to see the rage in Nick''s face.


    She is shaking. She opened her eyes when she felt him in front of her. He was breathing raggedly. His


    warm breath which smelled of alcohol fanned her face. She found the scent sensual. He had his arms


    on either side of her head. His palms are on the door.


    "I don''t want to touch because thest thing I want is hurt you. Answer me honestly! Where the f*ck


    have you been?!"


    With her heart in her mouth, "I-I w-went to Eve.. honey!" she cried out when Nick hit the door with a lot


    of force before he moved away from her.


    "F*CK!!!!" he swore furiously. He was blinded with fury thinking that ke was with them too.


    She shrieked when Nick picked up the single sofa and threw it to the wall with full force. It almost hit the


    sma tv.


    She sobbed when he turned to her . His eyes are spitting fire. She didn''t know that his reaction would


    be like this. He was violent. Now she regretted going to Lucille''s to console Eve. She covered her face


    with her hands while murmuring sorry repeatedly.


    Nick grabbed her forearm. She had to uncover her face and looked at his enraged eyes.


    " Why are you saying sorry? Is it because you were with Eve''s *sshole of a cousin too?!"


    She shook her head. " I-I was only with Eve and Lucille."


    He shook her a little. "Where did you go with that f*cking asshole?!" he asked totally ignoring what she


    said .


    "Honey.. your''e hurting me..please... I was with Eve and Lucille, their former pianist," she said in


    between sobs.


    He is just looking at her face which is now wet with tears. Her lips are trembling a little.


    " I am saying sorry because I wasn''t able to call you. Eve was hysterical so I panicked and hurriedly


    hailed a taxi . I was with Eve and Lucille . It was just the 3 of us..I swear."


    She moved when he motioned her to get away from the door. He angrily got out of the room, mming


    the door behind him.


    She put her face in her hands and cried again. Nick seemed to be a different person when he was


    enraged. This was the worst so far and it was her fault. If she had to repeatedly say sorry to him, she


    would.


    She removed her hands and wiped her face with the back of her hand. When her sobbing subsided,


    she went out.


    Nick opened a new bottle of whiskey. He drank some of it straight from the bottle. Because of his


    jealousy, he almost hit her. He decided to get out of the bedroom before things could go worst.


    "I will kill that f*cking bastard!!"


    She was near the kitchen and heard him and she felt her skin crawled.


    Nick''s hands which are clenched are on the kitchen counter. His back is on her. She took a deep


    breath. She loved this man so much and she would make him listen to her.


    Mustering all her courage, she said. "H-Honey, Iforted Eve because she was hysterical. Someone


    saw her fiance with a pregnant woman. I admit it was my fault that I didn''t tell you before going to her


    because I panicked. It slipped my mind. I was in a hurry . I was so worried about Eve. I am really sorry.


    It thought of calling you when I was in the taxi but my battery ran out. I love you honey. I will never


    cheat on you."


    Nick''s back straightened but he didn''t say anything.


    " Please believe me that ke is just a friend. Nothing more. What do you want me to do so you will


    finally listen to me? " her voice is pleading.


    He slowly turned to face her. His face looks grim. He was in a ck long sleeves and the front was


    unbuttoned. His muscled torso and six pack are exposed. His angry face somehow added to his sex


    appeal. She bit her bottom lip.


    "Are you the reason why they broke up?" he asked in a clipped tone.


    Surprised registered on her pretty face. GOSH! How did he know about that? She asked herself.


    His eyes narrowed. "Why look so surprised honey? You know that I am capable of doing anything and


    everything. " his voice was very cold.


    She shook her head slowly.


    "But you know that they broke up already?" he asked


    "Eve told me." her voice sounded so small.


    "Go on honey tell me what Eve said about the break-up." his tone was low but every word was like


    icicle.


    "S-She said that ke had been hearing rumors that his girlfriend was cheating with a pilot but


    unfortunately she is saying that it was ke who was cheating her. " she exined as she looked


    directly at his eyes. She almost cringed when she saw his expression but she continued, " Her mother


    saw us at the seafood restaurant. She told Kristel that I was ke''s girlfriend." she cowered after


    saying thest part. She heard his deep intake of breath before he cursed angrily.


    "I will f*cking watch the video from that restaurant first thing in the morning!!" he rasped.


    She moistened her lips. He would do what he liked regardless of how she felt. She didn''t want to think


    how he would react once he saw the video. She moved closer to him . She wrapped her arms around


    him and buried her face on his chest.


    "I don''t like us fighting honey. I really don''t like it. Please let''s stop. I love you, ." she said against his


    skin.


    Nick was taken aback and his anger seemed to have seeped away.


    DAMMIT Alcantara! Don''t soften too fast! He scolded himself. He knew a way to prove that she wasn''t


    with the f*cking *sshole. He moved her a little from him.


    She just looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Honey?" she was afraid that he still didn''t believe


    her.


    His lips are set in a thin line. A muscle jerked in his left jaw. She closed her eyes when he leaned


    forward to be closer to her again. She had been wanting to be kissed by him. She waited for his lips to


    touch hers.


    Nick started smelling her hair..the side of her face..her neck and down the valley between her breasts.


    Her breathing became shallow. She could feel his warm breath on her skin which brought sexual


    excitement.


    Nick''s eyes are also shut as he sniffs her. His lips lightly touching her skin.


    She smells so f*cking good! he thought.


    When he stopped what he was doing , he cupped her face and he sighed in relief. He smelled her to


    prove that she hadn''t been with any man.


    "I swear that I will kill that bastard if he tried to see or contact you! I don''t give a f*ck if he is Eve''s


    cousin and you only think of him as a friend! You will never talk to him again! Do you understand?!"


    She just nodded.


    "Tomorrow, meet Eve in the afternoon because we''ll have dinner at my parents'' house!"


    "O-Okay.."


    For several seconds they just stood there staring at each other.


    "I will take you here!" he suddenly said before his lips imed hers.


    He leaned her back against the kitchen''s door. His kiss wasn''t the usual tender one. He was punishing


    her. He wanted to show her that she was his. That only his lovemaking could make her cry out for


    release. That his kisses were what she wanted and needed.


    She couldn''t help but moan though she felt that he was still angry . He was now kissing her neck. He


    was sometimes biting her skin. She gasped when he ripped the front of her dress. He tugged her bra a


    little too forceful which sent the hook flying. He then sucked one nipple while his other hand massaged


    the other one a little harder than usual.


    She bit her bottom lip. It might sound odd but his rough lovemaking was making her more sexually


    excited. Her hands were on his shoulders. She kept on making low throaty sounds as he licked and


    sucked her tits simultaneously.


    "Honey...please.." she moaned. She badly wanted him to take her.


    He didn''t stop what he was doing with her breasts. She felt him pull her dress up. She moaned whenhe


    cupped her most private part under hercy bikini.


    Sh mumbled his name when he slid his hand inside her bikini and he separated her folds.


    "Tell me what you want!" he throatily asked against her neck.


    She had her eyes closed as she wantonly wriggled her lower body against the wall. His finger was now


    ying with her cl*t and she couldn''t think straight from the sensation she was feeling.


    "H-Honey...please..take..me...now.." she almost begged.


    Nick was just waiting for her to say that. He wanted to punish her by making her beg but he coulnd''t


    deny the fact that his desire for her was really making him almost lose his sanity. He had to be inside


    her because he felt that he would explode any minute.


    "Bend over the table! Face down! " he ordered and she obeyed.


    Her left cheek is on the table. Nick pulled up her dress . She closed her eyes when he pulled her bikini


    down. Her bare behind is now fully exposed to him.She heard the sound of his zipper.


    A sound escaped her lips when she felt him insert his d*ck inside her already very wet slit. She gripped


    one side of the table as he pumped her. Her other hand on the table was clenched as she savored his


    intense lovemaking. He was making throaty sounds as he rammed her.


    "H-Honey...deeper...harder.." she moaned


    He did as she requested. With every thrust.....he groans....she moans....deeper.....faster.....harder...


    "Ahhhhh" with one final thrust he released his seed.


    She felt her knees trembled from her release as she also let out a sound of pleasure. After a few


    seconds she felt his upper body on her back as he leaned forward.


    " You belong to me! Once you do again what you did tonight. I will blindfold you and tie you on the bed


    then I will f*ck you repeatedly." he whispered in her left ear in a spine-chilling tone.

 Chapter 76

    Chapter 76


    She knew Nick meant every word. He could be very cruel when he gets really pissed. The memory of


    how she was with Derick came to her mind. That was how they made love. She had a sleep mask on.


    She wanted to forget how she lost her virginity and when the right timees, she would tell Nick


    about it.


    (Next morning)


    Nick went to the seafood restaurant to watch the video and she was waiting for him because they


    would go to the office together. She was brushing her hair when she saw Eve''s name shing on her


    phone''s screen.


    "Eve? Are you fine? Where are you? "


    " I am okay. Finally Lance and I talked. That was his half-sister. His mother doesn''t know about her.


    They were secretly meeting their father that time when someone saw them."


    She sighed in relief. " I am so d to hear that. "


    "I know and thanks for being a shoulder to cry on for me. "


    "You are always there for me Eve so no need to thank me. We are sisters at heart. " she replied with a


    smile.


    "You got that right girlfirend! Anyway, I''ll see youter okay?"


    "Hmm.. can we meet after lunch instead? At the tea shop near your unit. I can''t stay long though


    because Nick and I have ns for tonight."


    "Sure! See youter girlfriend!" Eve happily said.


    She went down the basement parking when Nick called that he was just a few minutes away. She saw


    a ck Jaguar when she got off the lift. She couldn''t help worry knowing he saw the recording of the


    seafood restaurant already.


    He didn''t even open the door for her and didn''t looked at her way when she slid in. She nervously threw


    him a nce. His right profile looks grim.


    "H-Honey?" she called him.


    He didn''t turn nor answer her. She saw him clenched his right hand on the wheel she just kept silent.


    After a few minutes, he finally spoke.


    "You are still lucky that you told me everythingst night before I saw that f*cking video! If you haven''t..


    I''lle down on you like a ton of brick and I will knock the living daylights out of that asshole! You


    haven''t seen my worst side yet honey. And by God...I don''t want you to.. " he said through gritted teeth


    without even looking at her.


    She just looked at her hands on herp. She was at fault. "S-Sorry honey." her voice was a bit shaky.


    When Nick heard that she was almost in tears when she apologized, he wanted to stopped being angry


    but what he saw in the video yed again in his mind, he uttered a bad word.


    SHIT ALCANTARA! Calm down! You have punished her enoughst night! You don''t want her to be


    terrified of you again! He advised himself.


    He had no intention of making her scared of him when he gets jealous but it was very hard to control


    his emotions. He nced at her She was wearing a sleeveless white and red short dress and her hair


    was loose on her shoulders.


    "Do something with your hair!" he ordered.


    She moistened her lips. "What do you want me to do?"


    He cursed. "I don''t want your hair down at the office ! And what the hell do you have on?! Next time


    don''t wear something like that ! " he rasped.


    "O-Okay. S-Sorry." she said as she tied her hair in a bun.


    She was grateful Nick acted normally when they entered the building. People greeted them. As she


    predicted, they all seemed in awe as they look at them . She pasted a shy smile on her face. Nick''s


    hand on her was a bit firmer than usual. They entered the empty elevator.


    "Norman will drive you. What time are you meeting Eve?" he asked ."


    "Is around 3 fine?"


    "Be at the condo by 5. My family is expecting us at 7."


    She nodded.


    Everyone especially Cherry looked shocked when the elevator opened.


    "G-Good morning sir...Stacey.." Cherry managed to greet them despite the surprise on her face.


    The others said good morning to them too.


    "Good morning! " Nick greeted them back before turning to his secretary. " Miss Mendez, Is everything


    ready for the meeting?" he asked her.


    "Yes sir! The conference room is ready. I am just waiting for your go signal so I can call the attendees."


    Nick nodded. He pulled her to his side and kissed her on the cheek.


    "Come with me to the conference room honey." he said, loud enough for everybody to hear.


    She just moved her head as a yes. She knew that Cherry would ask her a lot of questionster. Nick


    was letting all of them know that she is his woman.


    " I''ll inform you when I am ready. I just need to talk about something with Stacey first. Don''t disturb us."


    He said it like it was an announcement. Everyone was silent.


    He took hold of her hand then led her to the conference room. She was sure that they were all looking


    at their backs.


    Once inside the room, "Sit on the table!" hemanded.


    She looked at the conference table then bit her lower lip. She felt her cl*t and nipples reacting.


    Gosh! Are we gonna make love here right now? She asked herself.


    She did sit on top of the table. Nick loosened his tie a little before bending over to kiss her. She took


    hold of his tie as he kisses her wildly. His hand was on her thigh. She couldn''t stop moan when he


    deepened the kiss.


    Against her mouth he said hoarsely," Open your legs wider..." His right hand slowly moved upwards to


    cup her p*ssy.


    "Let''s take this off!" he said huskily then pulled down hercy underwear. Her desire for him escted.


    Without breaking the kiss, he also unzipped his pants to release his member.


    "Feel it honey..feel how much I want you.." he said throatily as he kisses the side of her face.


    She moaned again when her hand came in contact with his hard manhood. He mumbled something .


    He tore his lips from hers.


    " I want you now!" he said in a breathy tone.


    She had to let go of his shaft when he positioned her for his entrance. He pulled her towards the edge


    of the table and separated her legs wider. He looked at her sex and his eyes turned darker. He rubbed


    the tip of his d*ck against her throbbing cl*t before he buried it inside her. She groaned when it came in


    contact with her heat.


    "Wrap your legs around me." She heard him say.


    "H-Honey.."Her hands are on the table for support as she did what he said.


    He is now kissing her neck as his considerable thing inside her moved. The room was filled with the


    sound of pleasure from their throats. Nick''s lips went to hers as if to muffle their groans. His thrusts


    became deeper and quicker and the movement of their tongues had the same intensity.


    She buried her face on his shoulder when she felt a delicious sensation inside her core.


    "Ohhhh.." she cried out as her body shook a little.


    Nick continued pumping harder but after a few more seconds, his mouth went on the top of her head to


    utter his endearment for her as his semen spurts inside her. He has his arms around her. They stayed


    still for a few moments. When their breathing normalized, Nick took his member out of her hole.


    "Fix yourself honey. Go to the bathroom." he said and zipped his pants.


    ***


    Cherry asked her a lot of questions about Nick and her, she felt thankful when she had her alone time


    atst. Nick''s meeting will end in half an hour. He didn''t want her in the conference room because most


    of the attendees were male. She had enough time to breathe easily even for a while.


    She was drawing some new designs when Eve called.


    "Eve? We will meet at 3 ." she reminded her friend. It was only half past 10.


    "Girlfriend can we just meet in my apartment? " her voice sounds worried.


    She yed with her pen.Nick wouldn''t like that. " I''ll see you at the cafe. "


    " I have to take care of ke. He doesn''t want me to bring him to the hospital."


    Her forehead creased. "What happened to him?"


    " Five men had beaten him upst night. He couldn''t fight back because he was blind drunk!"

    She remembered what she heard Nick saidst night.


    F*cking hell! I will kill that bastard!!"


    She was also reminded of her phone conversation with Tyler. He said Nick was very dangerous


    because he was powerful and influential and he was obsessed with her.


    "Did he pay those men to beat up ke?" she mumbled to herself. She felt her heart thumped.

    She felt her knees wobble so she sat down again.


    Can Nick really do that to ke?


    "Girflfriend, I will just wait for you here. " She heard Eve say.


    "E-Eve.. I don''t want Nick and I to argue again. He is jealous of ke. Let''s just set another date to


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    meet. "


    Her friend sighed before saying yes.


    Nick frowned when he saw Stacey sitting on her chair but her mind seemed elsewhere. He felt guilty.


    He had been harsh on her sincest night. He thought that he had to really loosen up a bit. Many times


    he had proven her honesty to him anyway.


    "Honey?"he called her.


    She looked at him and blinked twice. Nick saw something in her eyes. He was confused what it is


    exactly. He was not sure if it was fear, uncertainty, disappointment or hope?


    She lowered her face and pretended to be busy looking for something on the table. "How was the


    meeting?" she asked tonelessly.


    She didn''t see himbed his hair with his hand. He couldn''t bear this kind of treatment from her . She


    sounded cold and uncaring.


    He walked to her. He took her left hand and pulled her to him. He was drinking in her lovely face. He


    traced the side of her face with his index finger.


    "I''m sorry honey. I have been a brute but you know why don''t you?" he asked gently.


    She closed her eyes for a moment before moistening her lips. "I get really all tensed up when you are


    angry honey." she said in a small voice.


    Nick hugged her tightly.


    "I really am so sorry honey. Thest thing that I want is to make you afraid of me. I just can''t bear the


    thought of other men near you." he said in a cold tone.


    She rested the side of her face on his chest. She really loves him. All of him. "I love you honey. " she


    said.


    He moved her a little to see her face. He cupped it then kissed her lightly on the lips. "I love you


    honey." he said.


    Her eyes widened." W-What?" she stuttered.


    Gosh! Nick loves me? He loves me? She asked herself.


    His lips broke into his signature sexy smile. "I said I..LOVE..YOU..honey." he repeated.


    A wide smile lightened her face. Her inner Aphrodite was extremely pleased.


    "You do?" Disbelief was evident in her question.


    He nodded while grinning from ear to ear. "I do honey. Very much.." he whispered as his lips slowly


    went down on hers.


    A fountain of invisible sparks filled the room as their lips met. She touched his hands on either side of


    her face. Then they heard a knock.


    "Sorry mate! I knocked twice I swear!" Billy peeked from behind the door. He was beaming.


    Nick raked his hand through his hair and in a displeased voice asked, " What is it now Billy?!" He pulled


    her to his side. His arm snaked around her.


    "Mate! Your mom said that you will have dinnerter! Can Ie? I miss her cooking!"


    "No. Besides she won''t do the cooking. The chef will take care of the food.." he said but with a trace of


    humor in his voice.


    With a look of disappointment, Billy entered the room and carelessly sat on the sofa. Nick chuckled


    when she yfully pinched his arm. He deliberately said that to get back at his friend.


    He kissed her cheek. "He cane next time." he whispered to her.


    She nodded. " I will leave you two alone."


    He frowned slightly. "Where are you going?"


    She pouted. "I will print out something" she said.


    "Cherry can do that for you."


    "Dang mate! Let Stacey go. She''s not leaving the building anyway. And besides I need to tell you


    something." Billy butted in.


    She smiled at him. "Thanks Billy."


    Nick uttered a bad word. He promised himself that he would at least try to loosen up but he couldn''t


    change overnight.


    He kissed her on the cheek. "Later we''ll celebrate. Don''t be too long." he said.


    She just nodded then got her folder. She was d that Cherry wasn''t in the room. She probably looked


    silly with the wide smile on her lips. She went straight to the restroom.


    Once inside the cubicle, she covered her mouth then screamed in delight.


    GOSH!! It''s really true! He loves me! She said through her palm.


    They would definitely celebrateter. She was sure about that. She happily went out of the toilet.


    ***


    "So you see mate, be more careful because Stacey is a hellcat. Don''t anger her! She put Tanya in her


    ce." Billy chuckled before leaving.


    Nick sat on his chair looking very pleased. Satisfaction on his handsome face. Tanya told Billy what


    Stacey did to her. His woman threatened his former bed-warmer with a steak knife if she won''t stop


    pursuing him. She was really his kind of woman. Like him, she had be territorial. His friend also


    informed him that Tanya paid some men to sh the tires of ke''s big bike. She was probably


    thinking that ke would me him and eventually tell Stacey. Tanya was desperate to break them up.


    Nick frowned and shook his head. He wasn''t interested to be with her or any other female. Tonight he


    would show Stacey how important she was to him and how much he really loved her.


    ***


    She was feeling nervous.


    "You look great honey. My family will love you." Nick said before they entered the house. He kissed her


    hand and shed his sexy smile.


    The house looked magnificent and again, she felt the big gap between them but he was right on one


    thing though, his family adored her. She felt happy and relieved.


    His parents were very good-looking like him. His brother who was also hot looking was with his


    beautiful wife Vivien. They treated her very nicely and weed her sincerely.


    "You and Nick are a gorgeous couple! ." Nick''s sister-inw said. She has a wide smile on her sweet


    face.


    "I have to agree with that. " Nick''s mom said.


    She smiled shyly. Then her eyes went back on the oceans of food on the table. She was wondering if it


    would just go to waste. There was just too much for them.


    As if reading her thoughts, Nick leaned towards her and whispered, " My mother lets the household


    staff do whatever they want with the food. They usually bring everything home. ¡°


    She looked at him lovingly. Now she knew why he was so generous to his staff. He got it from his


    family. His family was awesome like her man. She felt that contrary to what he said to her, she didn''t


    think that he could do bad things to other people if he grew up in this wonderful household. His parents


    were good role models.


    He touched her hand then kissed it . His brother cleared his throat.


    "I hope this time Stacey is the one." he joked.


    Nick chuckled. " You bet she is." he said.


    "This is the first time that Nichs introduced his girlfriend to us. " his mothermented.


    "That''s because she is my first and myst girlfriend. " came Nick''s voice and everyone nodded their


    heads.


    "Well she is gorgeous. You chose well son! " his father said.


    The conversation was very rxed while they had their desserts. Nick was the doting boyfriend.


    After coffee, the men proceeded to the study room to talk about business.


    "Stacey I like you for my son and I want you to see where he grew up. I will show you around the


    house." his mother said.


    The house was very spacious. It had a lot of rooms. Every corner screams wealth.


    "And this is Nick''s room." His mother announced after opening a door.


    "Nick is an achiever. You will see all the proofs of his sess." Vivien whispered to her.


    It is a huge room. The walls are painted white and light blue. There was a big bed at the center.


    "Come here Stacey, look at all these." Nick''s mother walked to the ssed cab where many


    medals, a lot of trophies and certificates are.


    Her cheeks lost color with what she saw on the wall near the cab. There were framed diplomas and


    certificates.


    Certificate of Appreciation


    This is awarded to Mr. Nichs Derick M. Alcantara...

 Chapter 78

    Chapter 78


    (Nick)


    "That''s great son! Congrattions! " his father tapped his shoulder lightly.


    His brother shook his hand. " Well done bro! Popping the question tonight is a good decision! Don''t


    give Stacey the chance to change her mind about staying with you!" he joked.


    He chuckled. This morning he realized that he was ready to marry her. He had the ring in his pocket.


    He had nned to tell Stacey everything about "Derick" before the night was over. He knew she would


    be very angry of course but he was hoping that she would soon forgive him. He was going to show her


    how much he cared for her to make it up to her. He was confident that because she loved him, she


    would forgive his. He would do everything to get her forgiveness.He would never let her go whatever


    happens and she would be his wife.


    ***


    (Stacey)


    She told Nick''s mother and Vivien that she had to get her bag in the living room to make an important


    call. to get away from Nick''s mother and Vivien. Her mind felt a bit numb from shock but she had to be


    alert so she could get away from the house.


    When she saw that the living room was empty, she quickly got her bag and walked to the front door.


    She was hoping that the house didn''t have anytv cameras.


    He saw a ck van and a man and two women were putting trays of probably food inside. She


    recognized that the man was Nick''s personal driver.


    "Norman!" she called him while closing the distance between them. Her heart was thumping but she


    had to lookposed.


    The three turned to her. They all have a questioning look but after a few moments,the two women got


    in and closed the van''s door while Norman was waiting for her toe nearer .


    "Can you give me a ride please? I will exinter." she said with a small smile.


    Though still looking puzzled, he nodded and opened the door of the shotgun for her. " I hope you don''t


    mind sitting here. There''s not much space at the back. Mrs. Alcantara gave all the food to us. We will


    drop them off to our families then be back here."


    She said thank you and said hi to the two females at the back. She said a silent thank you when the


    van was out of the gate.


    "I am sorry to trouble you but I had no choice. I have a surprise for Nick. I let his mother in on the


    secret. that''s why I was able to escape. I will meet my friend at the nearest convenience store then we


    will drive back to the house. She is bringing my gift for Nick. " she lied and the driver nodded while the


    two females oohed and aahed


    She was praying that Nick wouldn''t get angry with his driver once he learned that he sort of help her


    get away.


    "Could you drop me off that convenient store? I think I saw my friend''s car already." she said casually.


    She said thank you before getting off. She muttered a silent thank you when she saw an empty taxi.


    (Nick)


    All the staff were on tenterhooks when his angry voice vibrated in the living room.


    His woman was nowhere to be found. He had been calling her but she wasn''t picking up.


    "She said she will just get her bag." His mother said for the nth time puzzlement in her voice.


    "Where were you anyway?" His father asked Vivien.


    "At Nick''s old room."


    He cursed and everyone looked at him with disapproval.


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    "Nichs!! " came his mother''s voice which sounded a bit annoyed already.


    "For Pete''s sake Mom! Why did you bring her to my room?!" he asked in a thunderous voice.


    "Don''t speak to your mother like that!" his father reprimanded him.


    He turned to him. " Look dad, I am sorry. I''ll exin everythingter ." then his eyes went back to his


    mother, " Why mom? "


    "I wanted her to see your awards."


    He grabbed his hair in frustration while his family gawked at him .


    He heard his phone making a sound. His breathing hitched when he saw Stacey''s name shing on


    the screen. He quickly took the call.


    "Honey? Where are you? We need to talk. Let me exin." he pleaded.


    "Don''t you dare reprimand Norman. I l tricked him into giving me a ride." her voice was void of any


    emotion.


    "Okay, I won''t. But please tell me where you are. I will get you. Let''s talk honey. I will exin...please."


    he once again begged but there was no reaction from her.


    "Game over..Derick.." she said in a cold voice. She hang up on him. And when he tried to dial her


    number again she seemed to have turned off her phone.


    "F*cking hell!!" he furiously threw his phone which startled his family.


    "Nichs! What is going on?!" he heard his mother asked.


    (Stacey)


    She went to Lucille''s house because Nick could easily find her if she went to Eve''s unit. Eve was on her


    way. She was thankful that Lucille didn''t ask her questions upon seeing the state she was in. She was


    so nice and considerate . She let her wait for Eve alone in her bedroom . She offered to wait for Eve in


    the living room.


    She was sitting on the carpet and her back was on the wall. She was hugging her knees and crying. All


    these time Nick/ Derick had been making a fool out of her. She was so angry with him thinking that he


    was so proud of himself because he had been sessfully making her look so stupid. She had been


    crying for a long time when she felt someone''s arms went around her.


    "Oh Eve!" she cried again and buried her face on her shoulder.


    After her sobs subsided, she told her friend everything. A lot of different expressions crossed Eve''s


    face as she revealed all that happened.


    "Oh my God!" her friend uttered when she was finished.


    She wiped her eyes with the tissue Eve handed her.


    "So what are you nning to do? Don''t you want to talk to him first?"


    She shook her head. "I don''t want to see him. I don''t even want to talk to him."


    "Girlfriend you have the right to be furious with him and hate him. But you said he was very sincere


    when he said sorry. I know that rape must never be justified and I am not in the position to judge your


    feeling about the whole situation. He also tricked you in believing that Nick and Derick are not the same


    man. All those will really make you loathe him. You said that ording to him, he abducted and took


    your innocence forcefully because he made wrong assumptions about you. He misjudged you badly.


    But please don''t take what I will say in a wrong way, he is Nick Alcantara and if he was used to doing


    such hateful things sooner orter news will leak out. The press thirst for news about people in the high


    society more so the worst ones. And I don''t think we heard or read anything like that about him or even


    his family. "


    From what she had seen firsthand tonight, she agreed with Eve. Nick''s family would never tolerate any


    immoral activities in the family.


    "I feel that he did that because subconsciously he liked you from the beginning but he couldn''t ept


    the fact that some other men had you before him. There is no excuse for what he did but at this point I


    just think that maybe it''s best if you talk to him and listen to what he has to say. I have seen him with


    you and I know and feel that he has very deep feelings for you. After you talked and you want to break


    up with him then do it. " Eve suggested.


    What she said made her think deeply.


    "Must I remind you that he is Nick Alcantara and he has all the resources to find you, so before he


    does, contact him."


    " I don''t know what to do yet. My brain seemed to have stopped functioning." she said.


    Eve''s phone started to ring. "Hold on girlfriend! It could be ke!...Hello? H-How..?" she sighed heavily,


    "Wait..I can''t do that..hold on... I''ll call you back." Her friend ended the call with a heavy frown.


    "Who''s that? "she asked.


    "As I''ve said, you can''t hide long from your boyfriend. That was Nick. He got my number from one of


    the staff at the bar. His driver went there. I have a strong feeling that Jodie gave it. She was probably


    bribed!"


    "I don''t want to talk to him." she said firmly.


    "He said his mother wants to talk to you."


    She frowned. "Why? What for?"


    "We better call him back and ask him."


    She heaved a sigh then she said without looking at Eve, "Okay I will talk to his mom . Just his mom."


    "Okay." Eve dialed his number and talked to him for a second or two before she handed the phone to


    her.


    "Stacey," came his mom''s sad voice. "Nichs told us everything. I am deeply sorry .My son made a


    terrible mistake. What he did to you is unforgivable. But if you could only see him now, you would see


    how broken he is. He regrets what he did . My son loves you very much but we will understand if you


    couldn''t forgive him. The whole family agreed to his decision. He said. that if the only way for you to


    forgive him is to file charges against him, then he is willing to face the consequences of what he did.


    We will surrender him to the cops now."

 Chapter 79

    Chapter 79


    Can she bear the thought of Nick in jail?


    She had forgiven him for kidnapping and taking her by force but now she was enraged because he


    deceived her. He toyed with her. No doubt he considered her as witless, brain-dead. She didn''t want to


    imagine what he was thinking while she was with him as Derick/ Nick. She felt yed on...cheated...


    but the bitter truth was, she still loved him. She had to make a decision now...


    "You don''t have to do that Emma. I will not file any charges. I already had forgiven him for what he did


    to me in the past. But he made a fool out of me and that is one thing I find hard to forgive and forget. If I


    didn''t see that certificate, I wonder if he had any n of telling me about Derick and Nick being the


    same man! " she couldn''t stop her voice from trembling.


    His mother was silent for a few moments.


    "You have a good heart Stacey. Thank you so much. It is very painful for a mother to see any of her


    children in jail but my husband and I will take action if Nichs or Alfred would do any injustice to


    anyone. The whole family wants to extend our sincerest apology for everything that had happened. My


    wish is for you and my son to work things out. I really like you for him and when we met you tonight, we


    all considered you as a part of our family. You are a great woman and you are good for my son. We will


    help Nichs make it up to you. I am hoping that you will give him another chance. I will give hand the


    phone to him now so you two can talk. In behalf of my family, I want to say thank you again. " The older


    woman said humbly.


    She was really moved by what she said. " Thank you for your kind words but I am sorry I don''t want to


    talk to Nick. Please tell him to leave me alone. I don''t ever want to see him nor talk to him again." she


    said in a voice that is void of emotion.


    It had been a full minute after the phone conversation but she was still staring at the mobile phone.


    "Girlfriend?" Eve ''s voice brought her back to reality.


    Her eyes are nk as she looked at her friend. She slowly raised her hand to give her back the cell


    phone.


    "Do you mean that? You don''t ever want to see Nick again?" she asked .


    "I feel that this is the right thing to do. " she said in a small voice and Eve nodded


    "Most of the time what we feel is the right thing to do can bring unhappiness especially if you will


    sacrifice love. We all make mistakes. Some regret and ask forgiveness but some don''t. The ones who


    admitted their mistakes and are willing to do everything to make up for them should be given second


    chances. But it still depends on the person. If we feel that someone who hurt us is not worth giving


    another chance, then don''t. But if we still love that someone, why make things hard for us and that


    someone, right? Just my two cents, if the reason why you are breaking up with him is he cheated on


    you, I am all for that. I can''t imagine how hurt you feel because he kept his real identity to you but


    honestly, I can also understand him. He was stalling because he was afraid of losing you once you


    knew the truth. He may not have handled this thing well but one thing is for sure, he has very deep and


    strong feelings for you. You told me that he bought all the June edition of the magazines where you


    were the centerfold to spare you from humiliation. If he didn''t care for you. he wouldn''t throw his money


    down the drain. So if I were you, I would talk to him first before making a decision that might bring you


    a lot of pain in the end. " Eve advised.


    She tried to absorb what her friend said. She was hurting nor but she was also sure that Nick had his


    own valid reason for doing what he did. She now remembered that him as Derick, he said that he had


    no confidence to show his face to her. Does he think that women were a only after his money and good


    looks?


    As Derick, he was a wonderful lover and she felt his care for her. And as Nick, though he ckmailed


    her to be his girlfriend, she could now appreciate all the effort he did to pursue her. She almostughed


    when she imagined how difficult it was for him to keep two identities. He exerted a lot of effort indeed!


    She touched her temple. The whole situation triggered her migraine again.


    "I am done for tonight. Let me sleep on it." she told Eve.


    Her friend sighed. "Good luck then! I don''t think that breaking up with him will be easy. I saw him with


    you remember? Just don''t ever forget that I am always here for you no matter what."


    "Thank you." she said with a small smile.


    " I have to go. I am in charge of the bar for a few days. I told ke to take a rest."


    "How is he?" she asked with knitted brows.


    "His ego is crushed. He was just caught off guard that''s why those men were able to beat him up. He


    doesn''t even want to report the incident because he said he will deal with them his way. He is


    determined to find out who is behind it."


    She just nodded. They hugged one more time before Eve left her. She may not have a real sister who


    genuinely cared for her, at least she got a very good best friend.


    She decided to call ke to ask how he was. ¡°I heard what happened to you. Are you okay now?"


    "I''ll live." he answered with a chuckle.


    She sighed in relief. Nick might be jealous of him but for her , ke was just a friend . It was Nick she


    loved however attractive ke was. Her face broke into a frown. She couldn''t seem to stop thinking


    about him.


    "Next time don''t drink when you drive your big bike. That is very dangerous. And if you weren''t roaring


    drunk, those men wouldn''t have had the chance to do that to you. "


    "If I didn''t know that you weren''t with that condescending boss of yours, I would feel that you care


    about me." he joked.

    Sheughed quietly. " "Of course I care about you. We are friends right?" she asked . Wanting to get an


    assurance that for him that was all they would ever be.


    He was silent for a moment of two before he finally said, "You already have a boyfriend so I guess you


    are right Miss Hotness. Though I can give him a run for his money, for you, I won''t. I don''t want to


    cause trouble between you two. "


    She chewed the inside of her cheek. ke might have a bad boy image but he was a true gentleman.


    His ex lost a good man.


    "Tell your boyfriend that he doesn''t have to be jealous of me anymore. I am going away somewhere to


    shake bad luck." he said with a hint of seriousness.


    "I am so sorry about what happened ke. You deserve someone better. Your Miss Right is just


    around the corner.


    "Maybe. But you know Miss Hotness, we could have been good together but I guess we''re not meant


    to be." he said.


    ***


    She had to take some pain reliever as usual. She was on Lucille''s bed because she doesn''t usually go


    home at night when they have a gig. She somehow felt jealous of her friends. They are all independent


    unlike her. Nick took over her life when she left her step-father''s house.


    She sighed.


    Her ex entered her mind again. She should stop thinking about him. She promised herself that she


    would find her own ce the next day.


    She felt her eyelids started to get heavy but mages of him as Derick without his stubble, keep on


    ying inside her head. She couldn''t seem to erase it. She covered her face with the pillow. She really


    needed to forget Nick/ Derick. It was her choice and she should stick to it. She lied on her stomach and


    let sleep take away her worries .


    She felt something heavy around her. She was now on her back. She slowly opened her eyes only to


    be shocked that she was in a different room. Her forehead creased. She gasped when she realized


    that she was not alone on the bed.


    Her ex was sleeping peacefully next to her. He looks so hot. He shaved his stubble and his muscled


    arm was resting under her breasts.

    Chapter 80


    Her eyes narrowed. She pped his handsome face.


    He cursed due to shock. The moment he lifted his arm from her body, she got up from the bed only to


    realize that she was only in her skimpy panty. She grabbed the sheet which was covering Nick''s body.


    He sat up while massaging the cheek . It was a little red and he still looked a little disoriented.


    "Honey! Why did you do that?" heined.


    If she weren''t his woman, he would have thought her a lesson. No one else had pped him until now.


    But she looked so f*cking sexy as she stood near the bed. Her hands were holding the edge of the


    sheet to cover her delicious body. Her face had a heavy frown but it couldn''t hide the fact that she was


    still very lovely . He knew she loved him so much too because he didn''t want him behind bars .He


    stifled a smile.


    She stepped back when Nick stood up and advanced towards her. "Don''t you daree near me!


    Where the hell are we? What did you do to me?! You are insufferable! Damn you! "


    She tried not to look at his bare torso. He at least had his briefs on. Most of the time, he just slept in the


    nude. She had a feeling that he intended to seduce her.


    Nick sighed. He ran his fingers through his hair. "You shouldn''t curse honey. You are in one of my


    condos near Lucille''s. I haven''t done anything to you though I was really tempted. You know what effect


    you have on me .I had to take off your clothes so you could sleepfortably." he said coolly.


    Her face must be red from anger while he looked as cool as a cucumber.


    "I told your mother that I want you to leave me alone! Why can''t you get it in your thick head that I don''t


    want to see you ever again?!"


    He extended his arm to her . " Honey, I am truly sorry. Please forgive me. Come here please. I can''t


    think straight when you are far from me and you are so angry with me. Let''s talk. " he said with a plea.


    "NO! You stay there! I will let you exin but don''t you dare move! " she said angrily.


    He heaved a sigh. "Okay. But I can''t promise that I can control myself froming to you."


    Her eyes squinted. "You arrogant beast! You don''t have the right to talk like that after what you did to


    me! You will see the hellcat in me once you touch me! I will more than p you!" she threatened.


    " Don''t make a habit of doing that honey. That would be the first andst time ." he said menacingly.


    She ignored what he said and just raised a brow. "And how did I get here?"


    "I called Eve. I begged her to tell me where you are. Your friend knows how much I love you. She


    wanted us to settle things .She called Lucille and asked her where she hides her spare key. You were


    sleeping like a baby when I carried you to my car."


    "How could you do that to me? You made a fool out of me! You have been lying to me for a long time!"


    she rasped.


    With one more heavy sigh," I was really nning to tell you the truth tonight. Unfortunately, my mother


    showed you my old room." His brows knitted.


    "I don''t know if I will believe you! You are such a liar, a fox and a crook!"she yelled.


    "Honey, please keep your voice down. The walls aren''t soundproof. The neighbors might hear us. I


    don''t want them to think we are already bickering after we just got engaged." he said in a cool voice.


    She gaped. "Why would they think that?" she asked angrily but with a low tone.


    "Mr. Jones saw me carrying you and he was very kind. He pushed the elevator button for me and even


    helped me open the door of the unit. I told him we came from our engagement party and you got drunk


    so I had to carry you. He even became nostalgic because he said was reminded of his proposal to his


    wife."


    She was shocked and had the sudden desire to hit him again but instead,she reached for the first thing


    that she saw on the floor. She picked up one of her red stilettos and angrily aimed it at him.


    Nick cursed when he felt that his woman wanted to hurt him with one of her high-heeled shoes. He was


    lucky he had quick reflexes because of martial arts training . He ducked his head quickly so the shoe


    hit the wall.


    "SHIT! Honey! That was close!" his voice was astounded. The footwear could have injured his face


    badly if it hit him. He realized that Billy was right. He shouldn''t spite her.


    "You got the nerve to say that to your neighbor!" She wanted to stomped her foot t in exasperation.


    "But it''s true honey. I was nning to pop the question tonight! Wait!!" he said as he got his pants from


    the sofa and took something from its pocket.


    She felt her throat went dry when she saw a small red box. He opened it and showed her a beautiful


    engagement ring.


    Gosh! It''s true! He''s serious! She eximed to herself.


    "I had it all nned honey. I was going to tell you the truth after the dinner at my parents'' because I


    know what I did was really unfair. You know that I love you and I didn''t have any n of keeping it from


    you longer. I wanted to confess everything after I proposed and you said yes to me. I was just waiting


    for the right time honey. I don''t ever want to lose you. " he said while he looks at her lovingly.


    " Why as Derick, you didn''t want me to see you?"


    "Because I wanted you to love me for me. I realized that I was attracted to you when I first saw you. I


    wanted you so much even before I kidnapped you. I wasfurious with you and jealous of the other men


    who I thought were your lovers. But I regretted all that. I told you all that as Derick, remember? But I


    was really relieved when finally I learned that I was very wrong about you. That was when I told myself,


    whatever it takes, I will make you mine. I will make you fall for me. After that night with you, I was sure


    that you were the one for me. When you agreed to my bizarre proposal, I was more than gratified but I


    know that it will be difficult if I will meet you as Derick often so I decided to meet you as Nick. I can''t


    bear not seeing you or being with you every day. Sorry if I had to ckmail you to work for me. I didn''t


    want you singing at the bar so I bribed the drummer. I hated it when you performed in front of all those


    trash! I am so obsessed with you that''s why I did all that! I was even jealous of Derick! I wanted you to


    like me as Nick too." he confessed.


    She was left speechless.


    "I love you so much honey. I am so sorry. I wanted you to love me as much as I love you so even if you


    discovered the truth about Nick and Derick, you will forgive me."he said emotionally.


    Her heart was beating fast. The Nichs Derick Alcantara was crazy about her and he wanted to marry


    her.


    "Honey?" he called her with a slight frown on his handsome face.


    "No!" She red at him when he started to move towards her.


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    His frowned deepened. "Honey, I want to propose to you properly. Let mee near you." he said as


    he ran his eyes on her lovely face.


    She jutted out her chin in defiance. It is pay back time. After all the things he put her through she


    shouldn''t let him off the hook yet.


    "Don''t call me honey. In my book, we are already finished! You are my ex!" she said.


    Nick''s aura became dark. "Stop this nonsense honey. You know that I will never let that happen. I


    already said sorry and I exined everything to you. I am willing to make it up to you. Now take back


    what you said..." he ordered.


    "I won''t." she said with a firm tone.


    He angrily uttered a very bad word.


    "Look at you! You are at fault but you are still very arrogant! You are impossible! " she angrily said.


    As if exasperated, Nick grabbed his hair." Okay!! What do you want me to do? Do you want to see me


    in jail? Do you want me to beg? What? Tell me what you want me to do?!" he asked controlling his own


    anger.


    He was not used to begging for anything but he would do it to get her forgiveness. He had been longing


    to touch and kiss her but she had been pushing him. .


    "Tell me what I need to do so you will finally give me your forgiveness. I am not your ex and will never


    be. We are getting married!"


    Stacey rolled her eyes but didn''tment on what he said. She had to admit to herself that he was


    partly correct. But she wasn''t going to make it easy for him.


    "I won''t go home with you tonight. I will stay at Eve''s." He was about to disagree but she held her hand


    up.


    "You can''t say no because if you do, not unless you force yourself to me, I will nevere back to


    you!" she said firmly.


    Nick''s breathing became shallow and she knows that he was controlling his anger.


    "You asked me what I want , didn''t you? If you want me to forgive you, then woo me the right way. I


    won''t let you have your way just like that!"


    A crease appeared on Nick''s forehead.


    What the f*ck? I don''t know how to woo a woman!" he thought.


    She knows what he was thinking. He hadn''t wooed a woman in his life. She sighed heavily. "Figure it all


    out! That is what I want you to do!"


    He cursed.


    "Stop cursing! If you don''t want to do it then no one is forcing you!" She turned to the sofa to get her


    clothes. " Take me to Eve''s now!"


    "Honey...please...try to understand.. Can you just tell me what I need to do? How do I court you?" he


    asked sounding a little desperate.


    She raised one brow and she tilted her chin. She wanted to beam but she didn''t of course. She felt


    triumphant because Nick was willing to as she wishes.


    "I want flowers and choctes. Red or white roses only. You have to bring them to Eve''s ce three


    times a night. We can dine out but you can''t touch me! Any part of me for that matter. And don''t call me


    honey because we aren''t a couple yet. In short, return to zero Mr.Alcantara. Take it or leave it!"


    "F*cking hell!" Nick raked his fingers through his hair in frustration.

    Chapter 81


    Nick had just dropped her off at Eve''s. She stopped herself from taking back some of her demands


    because she felt a bit sorry for him. He looked really problematic but she had to be firm.


    "Gosh girlfriend! You are such a goddess! Imagine your hot as hell man agreed to do all your


    demands?!"


    She just released a lightugh. " He should at least have a difficult time. "


    Her friend shook her head. " He looked really sad and disappointed when obviously he wanted a good


    bye kiss but he couldn''t kiss you."


    "I know. Rules are rules." she smirked.


    ****


    She knew that Nick was pissed and she couldn''t do anything but to just shrug it off. He called her


    because he wanted to pick her up but she said no.


    (earlier this morning)


    "Eve will drive me. And since you are still wooing me, we will not go to the office together. Once in a


    while maybe we can do that." she said in a matter-of-fact tone.


    "Dammit honey! You weren''t with mest night and now you have a new rule? Why the f*ck can''t we go


    together?" He sounded really annoyed.


    "You made a slip again I told you not to call me honey, didn''t I? I have to go. See you there. And don''t


    forget that I am your employee so no touch!" she firmly said before hanging up.


    Out of annoyance, Nick kicked his bed . He didn''t trust himself not touching her. He cursed and


    grabbed his jacket then angrily went out of his condo. He was in a foul mood today. What Stacey said


    fuelled up his rage. He didn''t sleep a wink and had a lot of whiskeyst night. He didn''t even have any


    dinner nor breakfast this morning.


    ***


    She was d that she arrived earlier than Nick. She didn''t want him to reprimand her if she waste.


    She sprayed True Religion Hippie Chick which was Eve''s. She was in an off-shoulder beige one piece


    dress which she also borrowed from her friend. She would go to Nick''s ceter to get some of her


    stuff. Her hair was cascading behind her back. She didn''t forget that Nick didn''t want her hair loose but


    since Eve''s breast size was a bit smaller than hers , if she had her hair up, her tits¡¯ shape and size


    would be more emphasized. Nick wouldn''t like that of course. Eve didn''t own a lot of dresses because


    she was more of a shirt and jeans kind of female so she didn¡¯t have a lot of choices. She looked at the


    dress. It goes a little below her knees. She was just hoping that Nick wouldn''t be angrier with how she


    looked . He already sounded pissed this morning. She chewed the inside of her cheeks and crossed

    her fingers.


    Once inside his office, she switched on theptop to check her email. After maybe ten minutes, she


    heard a knock and Cherry''s face peeked from behind the door. She had a grin on her face then she


    straightened and got inside. She was s holding something behind her .She on one hand was just


    looking at Nick''s secretary with a puzzled expression.


    "Ta-da! " She showed her a long white box with white roses and a heart-shaped gold box of expensive


    choctes.


    She almost tapped her forehead. Of course they were from Nick. She would talk to him. He wasn''t


    supposed to give flowers to her at the office. She made it clear to him that he can only send them to


    Eve''s crib.


    Cherry giggled. "Oh my gosh Stace! Sir Nick is so thoughtful and sweet! His driver brought them."


    She chose not toment and went back to what she was doing.


    "Oh dear! These must have cost an arm and a leg! Lucky you Stace! I really think sir PTEF is so into


    you!"


    "What the hell is PTEF?" Nick''s voice vibrated in the room.


    Cherry uttered a very surprised sound and hurriedly said goodbye after putting the boxes on her table.


    She just threw Nick a nce. He had a dark look. He seemed to have not slept well because he had


    bloodshot eyes and she had a pretty good idea why. She almost rolled her eyes. From the looks of it,


    instead of her getting mad with him due to the roses and choctes, he would be taking his anger out


    on her. The high and mighty Nichs Derick Alcantara couldn''t have his way so he was really in a foul


    mood. She sighed and stood to get the boxes of flowers and choctes.


    "And why did you give me these here? I specifically told you what I wanted!" she said in an irritated


    voice.


    His lips formed a thin line after his eyes ran from her head to toe. His expression became grimmer.


    "Because I want to!" he retorted.


    "We had a deal!" sheined.


    "And what the f*ck, if I may ask...do you have on? And what''s with your hair?!" he rasped.


    "I didn''t have my stuff with me remember so I had to borrow from Eve." she said.


    "It was you who wanted to sleep over at her ce! SHIT!" he angrily raked his fingers through his hair.


    "Nick! You said you would do what I want so I expect you to ept my demands." She said that in a


    low voice. There was no use fuelling his anger. She had to also understand that this was not easy for


    him too.


    A muscled jerked in his jaw when she called him by his name. She didn''t want them to squabble again


    so she just decided to drop the issue. They couldn''t work in harmony if he was like this the whole day.


    She just put down the roses and box of choctes and gathered some papers. She had to print some


    of her designs.


    "Excuse me." she said and went passed him.


    He took hold of her arm. "Where are you going? and what is PTEF?" he asked with furrowed brows.


    She looked at his hand on her arm with narrowed eyes before returning her eyes to his face. "You


    broke two rules already. I said no touch, didn''t I?" she asked in a cold voice.


    He didn''t release her and his eyes are like slits.


    "I have to print something. PTEF is what the women here call you. It stands for Pink Tacos'' Extreme


    Fantasy. Of course you are aware that a lot of women fantasize about you. " she tried to hide the


    sarcasm in her voice.


    He smirked "You sound jealous."


    She ignored that. She looked at his hand on her arm again. "Now let me go!" she demanded .


    "They can fantasize me all they want but I only like yours. I like to always lick the sweet juice from it."


    he asked huskily.


    She felt her mouth went dry and she swallowed. He was once again seducing her with his words. " I


    said let go!" She felt his warm breath against her right ear.


    "I didn''t get much sleepst night because I wanted to make love to you. I miss you honey. Please


    With all her strength, she pushed him away from her. She red at him, "Are you intentionally


    annoying me?!"


    He looks puzzled. "Why would I do that honey?"


    She squinted her eyes. " First you sent me flowers and choctes here! Second, you touched me by


    grabbing my arm! And now you are calling me honey?! You have been breaking the rules!" she


    used angrily.


    He slowly walked towards her but he didn''t touch her. "You used me of breaking rules? I How about


    you? You have a f*cking sexy dress on! You have your hair loose and you deliberately sprayed on that


    delicious smelling perfume to sexually arouse me! " he said chillingly.


    She moistened her lips. She was about to deny his usations but he took hold of her nape and


    kissed her on the mouth.

 Chapter 82

    Chapter 82


    "Nomp!" she tried to break the kiss.


    The phone started ringing but Nick didn''t seem to hear or care instead, he coaxed her lips to open. She


    frowned a little. Looks like he had been drinking. His breath smells of alcohol. She soon stopped


    resisting. Her man was unstoppable anyway. After the kiss, he had to exin why he smelled of


    alcohol early in the morning.


    The sound of their wet tonguespping and their moans filled the room. Then they heard a loud knock.


    Nick was reluctant to let her go but he knew she would get angry if someone would see them kissing


    passionately at his office. They broke the kiss before the door opened.


    "Sir. Mr. Adams is here. I tried calling you on line 1 but..." his secretary sounded a bit embarrassed.


    Nick''s hands were still framing her face but he threw Cherry a nce. "Tell him toe backter." he


    ordered.


    "No! Talk to him now. I have to go." she said after getting away from him.


    "NO! We need to talk!"


    "He is your client. " She turned to go but he took hold of her arm.


    "Dammit honey! We''ll talk!"


    Cherry looked ufortable but she couldn''t go unless she got a clear instruction from Nick.


    " It''s not talk you want! Look what just happened a few moments ago! Besides there is nothing to talk


    about! No wait! You have some exining to do! Have you been drinking this morning?!" she asked


    angrily. She didn''t care anymore if Cherry could hear them.


    She red at him when he said a very bad word. Cherry looked so surprised because it was the first


    time she heard him cursed.


    Easy Alcantara..easy. Nick advised himself.


    He was about to blow his top. He had no food but alcohol sincest night. He didn''t want her to leave


    but he couldn''t do anything and now he was sexually frustrated.


    "You are already drunk at this time of the day? And what would your staff think if they discovered your


    state?" she turned , ''Please Cherry, keep mum about this okay?" The secretary nodded.


    "I am not drunk! I know what I am doing!" Nick rasped.


    Her eyes went back to him. " You know that you are working today so why did you drink?! "


    "Because you weren''t in our bed! I wanted to make love to you the whole f*cking night but you chose to


    stay at your friend''s unit! Dammit!!" he said through gritted teeth.


    She gasped. How could he say such things when there was another person in the room? Cherry''s eyes


    widened and her mouth formed an O. She sighed heavily before glowering at Nick. After a moment of


    two, she walked out of his office.


    ***


    She chose to work outside next to Cherry''s desk. Nick''s meeting with Mr. Adams ended but she still


    didn''t go back in his office. To her surprise, he didn''t call her to ask her to return nor went out to get her.


    She was focused on theptop''s monitor when he finally came out. She automatically looked at him but


    he didn''t look back.


    "Miss Mendez, if someone calls tell them that I will be back on Monday. Get all the signed documents


    on my table." he said tonelessly before heading for the lift.


    Cherry just nodded and nced at her but said nothing. The other employees just exchanged looks


    too.


    Her eyes became half slits. She looked at the time. It was almost 12 PM. He totally ignored her. He


    didn''t ask her to eat out for lunch and didn''t even say goodbye to her. She wondered where he was


    going. She tried to get back to work but from time to time she checked her watch. She lost her appetite


    so she skipped lunch. She had the sudden urge to call Nick but she was controlling herself. A lot of


    things kept ying in her mind.


    Was he with another woman? He said he was sexually frustrated. She almost groaned due to anxiety.


    Now it was past 4 PM but still no message or call from him. She was worried that he took what she said


    seriously. She repeated to twice to him that he was her ex already. She was thinking that maybe he did


    want to break up with her so finally he could taste other women. He was probably tired of her. Cherry''s


    voice made her turn to her direction. She pointed to the paper she had been holding in her hand. She


    sighed when she realized that she crumpled the design she was making out of annoyance.


    ''I didn''t like it. I will make a new one." she lied and Cherry just smiled at her.


    "Stacey." called Nick''s driver.


    She sighed in relief. Atst Nick asked him to fetch her. She stood and was ready to get her purse.


    "Your car key. It''s parked in the basement parking." he handed her the key.


    She hoped no one noticed the disappointment on her face and tone when she said thank you


    (Nick)


    He was d that he became busy. At least he was able to take his mind off his woman for a few hours.


    That stopped him from calling and texting her too. He had to meet his father and his older brother. They


    visited the site for their new business. They also talked to some people that would be a part of their


    team. Now he was with Billy. They were in one of their favorite bars. He wanted to call Stacey but his


    friend said he should let her be until she cooled down. He told her they had an argument but he didn''t


    give all the details. Only his family knew the whole truth.


    "Let''s just chill since since it''s the weekend tomorrow. " Billy said before gulping some booze.


    He nodded and swallowed some of his whiskey. He then checked his phone. Stacey''s car is in the


    vicinity of Eve''s ce so he had nothing to worry about. He was satisfied that the tracking device was


    working well. He raised his ss at Billy before gulping again. He wanted to get drunk tonight. He didn''t


    want to go home sober in his lonely condo. He would missed her more. He was hoping that tomorrow


    his woman would decide to lift all the rules because they had been pissing him off big time.


    (Stacey)


    "What do you want to do?" She asked Eve .


    "Let''s go bar-hopping! Let''s use your car! That is one hell of a car! You lucky girl! "


    She frowned. " I don''t think that''s a good idea."


    "Ohe on! Don''t be a spoilsport! Anyway Nick doesn''t need to know and besides you are not


    officially together at the moment right? So let''s go! I will drive. "


    Eve was right so she just said yes. There was no use staying home the whole night. They could sleep


    in tomorrow anyway.


    "Okay. I''ll get ready. "


    ***


    "Whoaa girlfriend! You look hot!" Eveplimented her when she got out of the bedroom.


    "You are exaggerating as usual. " she shook her head.


    She got some of her stuff at Nick''s after she got off work. She was wearing an off shoulder loose grey


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    top and low faded jeans which were shaping her lower torso like a glove . She had ck wedge shoes


    on. She curled her hair a bit and it was loose on her shoulders. She applied minimal make-up.


    "You are sizzling girlfriend and we are so partying tonight! " Eve said excitedly.


    The other members of Eve''s band were at the bar. She was handed a ss of tequ which she


    refused at first but in the end, she was persuaded.


    "That''s okay girlfriend! This might be yourst because once you and Nick be okay again, I doubt


    it if he will allow you to go out like this." She said close to her ear because the music was a bit loud.


    She nodded. She would have fun even only for tonight.


    ***


    Nick''s other friend arrived and oceans of booze were on their table. He chose not to drink too much yet


    since the night was still young. He wanted to just chill first. Billy was talking to Liam and John and once


    in a while he joined the conversation. He then remembered to check his phone again. His eyes became


    half-slits. Stacey''s car was parked near the bar where he was. He knew this ce like the back of his


    hand. He swore and his friends turned to look at him.


    "I have to go!" he told them through gritted teeth.


    ***


    "Oh my gosh Stacey! You drink like a fish!" Rebamented and she just giggled.


    "Girlfriend! That cute guy who had been checking you out is walking to us!" Eve said with a giggle too.


    With a silly grin she turned to where the man was . He said something to Eve first because she was


    sitting at the far end of the long seat.


    "Girlfriend! James here wants to dance with you ." Eve said.


    She looked at the cute guy. She shook her head because she couldn''t trust herself to stand or dance.


    She feels a bit dizzy from alcohol.


    Reba nudged her side. "Go girl! He''s cute! Just one dance!" she whispered to her.


    She nced at James again. He held his hand to her. She sighed then stood up.


    Just one dance! She told herself.


    She swayed a little and Reba stood too to steady her. "Are you okay? "


    She nodded. James got her hand and led her to the dance floor while the others left the table to go to


    the restroom.


    Reba and Eve just got out of the bathroom when thetter¡¯s phone started to ring. She clumsily got


    it from her bag and Reba caught it when she almost dropped it.


    "Hey careful!" She said with a giggle.


    "Shhhh!" Eve raised her finger to her lips when she saw Nick was calling. "Keep quiet! It''s Stacey''s


    man! ¡®Lo Nick! "


    "Where are you?!" came his angry voice.


    "A-At home." slurred Eve then giggled.


    "Don''t y with games with me! Where''s Stacey? She is not picking up my calls!" he rasped.


    He was standing next to Stacey''s car as he was talking to Eve.


    "Give me that!" He heard another female''s voice said.


    His eyes narrowed. Obviously they have been drinking. His grip on the phone tightened. He would


    really punish Stacey if she was drunk too.


    "Hello Stacey''s boyfriend! Let her dance with James. Don''t be a kill joy! It''s just a dance!" Said the other


    female with a half-suppressedugh.


    He saw red. "F*CKING HELL!" he swore and headed towards the bar''s entrance.


    ***


    "You look and dance so hot!" James said a bit loudly so she could hear him.


    He pulled her to him by his arm on her back but she pushed him a little far from her as she danced with


    her eyes closed.


    Nick was witnessing everything. He furiously walked to them.

 Chapter 83

    Chapter 83


    She didn''t want to flirt with any man. She just wanted to sway to the music. She missed Nick so much.


    She was imagining that she was dancing sexily for him. The alcohol helped her make her imagination


    seemed real. And closing her eyes was better because she could visualize her man more vividly.


    The song Sugar by Maroon 5 was ying. Only few people were on the dance floor.


    (Nick)


    It was easy for him to reach them. The man''s back was on him. . His woman was dancing sensually


    with her eyes closed. She looked drunk. He would deal with herter.


    He saw her pushed the guy away from her but that didn''t make him less furious. If she didn''t go to this


    bar , this f*cking asshole would not have the chance to touch her even for a second.


    He grabbed the man from behind. The people around them left the dance floor. .He pulled him to the


    nearest wall . He resisted but he was much stronger of course. He was ready to punch him but then he


    recognized him. The other man was very surprised too when he saw his face.


    "NICK!"


    It was James. His sister-inw''s younger brother. But regardless of who he was, he was still furious


    with him because he touched Stacey. He smacked him on the stomach. Vivien''s brother groaned in


    pain.


    "Shit Nick! What was that for?" He asked with a distorted face, his left hand on his belly.


    He held her by the cor. He was looking at him with questioning eyes.


    "You were dancing with my woman dammit!! "


    Shock registered on James'' face. "F*ck dude! Stacey is your girlfriend? I didn''t know! Sorry!


    "Well now you know! So stay away from her!" he rasped before hitting him again.


    "Argghh!" cried James.


    "That''s for touching her!" He angrily said before he shoved him to the nearest table.


    He then slowly walked back to the stage. His eyes were like slits as he stared at Stacey. His woman


    was still dancing. She didn''t have a clue of what he just did. He stood in front of her while he watched


    her sensual movements . She still had her eyes close and her movements are so f*cking suggestive.


    He gritted his teeth. He pulled her to him by the waist.


    She pushed him away. He saw surprise registered on her face when she unshut her eyes. She stopped


    dancing for a moment then frowned. This near, he was positive that she had too much to drink. Her


    eyelids are almost droppy . After a second or two she shut her eyes again and started to sway her body


    just like what she was doing a while ago. He clenched his hands on his sides.


    (Stacey)


    Oh maybe it''s just my imagination. I think I had too much to drink! She thought.


    Since it''s a bit dark and James''s height was almost like Nick''s, it was possible for her to imagine that he


    was the man in front of her. But in reality, Nick couldn''t be here because she didn''t tell him where she


    was because he didn''t even message or call her. Since she had too much alcohol and lost her


    inhibitions, she wanted to do something bold


    Time to y with my imagination! she told herself with her eyes still shut.


    She extended her arm to feel where James was. She moved a little forward so he could hear what she


    would say. "Let''s just dance. No strings attached. I just want to have fun." she told him.


    Some of the people around them stopped dancing and were now looking at them. They make quite a


    picture. A tall and a very-good looking man with stubble was glowering at a gorgeous woman who now


    had her arms wrapped around his nape. They could feel the spark and electricity between them though


    the hot as hell man was angry. They could sense that they would witness something interesting tonight.


    Nick''s anger was fuelled. THE F*CK?? No strings attached?! He asked himself furiously.


    He was ready to retort but he recalled what Billy said. He had to do whatever Stacey wanted so they


    would be finally be okay soon.


    He pulled her towards him tightly, " Okay, let''s y the game you want honey." he whispered.


    She smiled. Even James'' voice sounds like her man''s. He even called her honey. Maybe drinking once


    in a while wasn¡¯t a bad idea after all. But she stiffened when she felt one of James'' s hands on her back


    slowly went even lower. He squeezed her right bottom hard and the other one went to her breast.


    "Stop that!" she slurred angrily then tried to push him.


    She felt his hand around her tightened.


    "You are really turning me on. I will f*ck youter honey." he said hoarsely against her ear.


    "You pervert! " she opened her eyes and bit his arm.


    "SHIT!" he loosened his hold so she had the chance to put a distance between them and re at him.


    "Y-You..you..." she couldn''t continue what she was about to say because James was a dead ringer for


    Nick which was really confusing her.


    He grabbed her arm and dragged her away from the dance floor. People were gawking and no one


    dared to help her.


    "What are you doing? Let go of my arm?!" she tried to free herself.


    He brought her to the hallway near the female''s restroom. It was not as dark unlike at the dance floor


    and the tables around it.


    He tilted her face by her chin. He was now looking straight into her eyes. He noticed that she still


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    looked a little confused as if she was seeing things.


    "Is this what happens to you when you''re drunk? You not only get wild, you get violent too? Dammit!!"


    he hissed.


    Atst she realized that the real Nick was in front of her. Her imagination couldn''t handle his temper like


    this.


    She moistened her lips. "Honey..sorry. I thought I was imagining things." she slurred.


    His face darkened even more. The thought of her dancing with another man while she imagined that


    *sshole was him, made him want to go violent.


    "F*cking Hell!"If it weren''t really me then you would do that with another man?!" he rasped.


    She tried to shake her head but she couldn''t because his firm hand on her chin made it impossible to


    move.


    "What did you drink? How many sses?" he asked angrily.


    He looks murderous but thanks to the alcohol she had, she was not as scared as she should be.


    "Tequi. I lost count." she said huskily.


    He cursed again. "Didn''t I tell you to stay away from that stuff if you weren''t with me?! And why the f*ck


    are you here??! You were supposed to be at Eve¡¯s for f*cks sake!"


    She ignored what he said. She blinked twice and looked at him seductively. Having him this close to


    her made her feel a little horny. His wonderful manly scent and hard body was so sexually arousing.


    "I feel hot honey." she said before biting her bottom lip.


    He frowned .He released her chin and moved his head back a bit to look at her. He was taken by


    surprise when all of a sudden, she grabbed his sh*ft and started massaging it through his jeans. His


    eyes squinted then his breathing became ragged as he trapped her between his arms. His palms are


    t on the wall.


    He didn''t want her to stop though there was a chance that someone might see them. He liked what she


    was doing. "Shit honey! " he cursed hoarsely.


    She was really getting bold . She didn''t care if they were seen by someone. She wanted to tease him


    and she missed him.


    He nibbled her ear. "Let''s get out of here. I want to make love to you." he whispered.


    She removed her hand from his very hard d*ck. He moaned in protest. She started unbuttoning his


    shirt.


    "Honey?What are you doing?" he asked while slightly frowning.


    He straightened . His shirt was now unbuttoned. She ran her hands on his broad chest down to his six


    pack. She touched her lips with the tip of her tongue. Her eyes are on his exposed torso.


    "Not here honey. Let''s go home.." He suggested.


    She raised her eyes to his face. , " I want you to dance with me on the dance floor."


    His forehead creased. "Like this?" he looked at his exposed chest and abs.


    She bit her bottom lip and nodded. "I want to feel your body as we dance." she said huskily.


    His eyes narrowed.


    Billy said I should do what she wants. He reminded himself.


    He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. . "Are you sure?"


    She nodded while smiling sexily.


    With one more heavy sigh, he took her hand and led her inside the bar again. When they were near the


    dance floor, the room brightened when the music stopped. She now regretted suggesting dancing with


    Nick with his shirt unbuttoned. There were more people inside the bar and most of them were women.


    Their eyes were looking hungrily on Nick''s bare torso which made her blood boil.She gritted her


    teeth.

 Chapter 84

    Chapter 84


    She was stunned and annoyed while Nick was slightly frowning. She had a strong desire to remove the


    females'' eyes and pped all of them as they drooled over her man''s bare torso.Instinctively, she


    blocked their view . Her back was on Nick and she was ring at them.


    She turned her head to say hastily," Button your shirt!"


    "But I thought you want to dance honey?" he asked.


    Nick was secretly smiling. He thought that it won''t hurt to y with her a little. She had been frustrating


    him with her rules. It was high time that he gave her a dose of her own medicine. She was the one who


    wanted him to go out with his shirt open. He had seen how possessive she could be like him and now


    she really looked angry and jealous as hell.


    Suddenly the lights were off and a slow music started to y. Before she could retort to what he said,


    Reba, Lyn and Eve came to them.


    "Girlfriend! The girls want to see Nick up close! " her best friend said with a silly grin.


    "Stacey can we go to where you were? It''s too dark here. We can''t see your boyfriend clearly!" Lyn


    suggested with a flirty smile which made Reba and Eve giggle.


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    "No! We are going to dance now! Honey, these are Eve''s college friends, Reba and Lyn." she


    slightly slurred while introducing them. She didn''t even turn to him but she moved her back closer to


    him. She moistened her lips when she felt his arousal.


    "It''s okay honey. I also want to see your friends'' pretty faces." He responded , a smile evident in his


    voice. He even pushed his bulge against her back so she swallowed. She is getting frisky.


    "Oh thanks Nick!" Reba''s voice was way too husky to her liking.


    She felt Nick''s hand touched hers and tugged it. Normally , she could control her anger but due to the


    effect of alcohol, she is feistier. Still she let him pull her back to the hallway. Eve and her friends were


    walking behind them and she could hear them whispering and giggling. She ordered Nick to button his


    shirt again but he just smiled at her.


    "Oh girlfriend you are too possessive! We just want to take a look at Nick''s hot body!" Eve slurred her


    words.


    Nick shook his head. His woman and her friends are really more than tipsy. They are now in the


    brighter side of the room.


    "Oh wow! Your boyfriend is so hot!" Reba giggled.


    Eve and Lyn on the other hand were staring with their eyes wide at Nick''s chest and abs. And thetter


    seemed to not mind that they were drooling over him. She uttered a bad word and began buttoning his


    shirt.


    "Honey, I thought we''re gonna dance?" he asked with a trace of puzzlement in his voice.


    She looked daggers at him and turned to the three women. "Are you satisfied now?! You can see my


    man better!" she sounded really pissed and her eyes are like fireballs.


    A look of fear crossed Eve and her friends'' face. They all waved at Nick with sweet smiles on their


    faces.


    "Hope this won''t be thest Nick. Thanks a bunch!" Reba said with a giggle.


    "There won''t be a next time if ya''ll act like that!" she slurred angrily.


    They blew her and Nick a kiss. Eve mouthed sorry to her but her stupid grin was still on her face. She


    heard Nick chuckled when they went away. He then pulled her to him and kissed her lightly on the lips.


    "I think you were too harsh on them honey." he murmured.


    She pushed him away from her. With slightly narrowed eyes she said in an annoyed tone, "You really


    like women drooling over you, don''t you! You enjoyed that!"


    He sighed and brushed his hair with his hand.


    "Nichs!" called a female voice behind her.


    She turned and saw a tall and curvaceous woman with big books. She was looking at Nick with delight.


    GOSH! Will this never end? Another Nick''s admirer in the house?!" She asked herself.


    "Rachel?" Nick had a slight frown .


    "I was right! So it is you!" the woman called Rachel excitedly moved forward to kiss Nick on the cheek.


    She saw shock registered on his face while she balled her hands on her sides.


    "What''s with you? Going out there showing your abs?" the woman joked.


    She had it with women gawking over him! She might as well just have fun tonight without him. Anyway


    there were not yet really okay and she was now considering breaking up with him for real. Maybe she


    didn''t want to always encounter females who wanted him in their panties. It could get tiring. Even Eve


    and her friends couldn''t help checking him out in her presence. She turned to go.


    "Honey! " Nick stopped her by holding her arm. "Wait!" he said.


    "Nichs, I have something to tell you .Can you spare like five minutes?" Rachel requested and she


    sounded a bit desperate.


    "Can we just talk next time? I''ll just give you my number."


    She gritted her teeth. He was willing to give his number to this bitch!


    "We might as well talk now. It''s so difficult to catch you. Please Nichs.."


    "You go talk to her honey. I will go to Eve and her friends. I need to apologize to them, I think." she lied.


    She knows that Nick will not let her go if she didn''t say that. She would let him think that they were on


    their way to being okay. "I think it''s something important. Go ahead. We can always talkter."she


    faked a smile.


    "Okay. Don''t touch any alcohol. I won''t be long. By the way honey, this is Rachel , our fathers are best


    friends, Rachel, Stacey, my girlfiend. .."


    She just nodded at Rachel and she responded with a small smile before touching Nick''s arm.


    "Nichs? Can we talk now?" she asked.


    She wriggled out of Nick''s grip. "I''ll go now honey." she said without looking back at him.


    She went straight to the table where Eve, Reba and Lyn were. She put some booze in an empty


    ss. She gulped the alcohol like water. She wanted to be drunk again. She felt the effect of alcohol


    had gone because of her annoyance .


    "Hey! What''s wrong? Where''s Nick?" It was Reba''s voice.


    "We already left your hot boyfriend alone so why do you still look upset?" Now it was Eve''s.


    She clucked with a heavy frown on her pretty face. "He''s talking to a bitch!" She then took some more


    alcohol.


    The three women made a sound at the back of their throats.


    "I told you that you need to be tough! Don''t get affected every time a female talks or stares at your


    man! " She heard Eve say.


    "Well I had it! I can''t bear all these stress! will talk to himter!" she said then finished the booze before


    standing up. "Come on! Let''s dance!" she told them while heading to the dance floor.


    (Nick)


    "Thanks Nichs. My family owe you one." Rachel sounded relieved before kissing him on the cheek.


    "The talk between our fathers is long overdue." he said.


    "Yes. Their friendship couldn''t just go to waste."


    "I''ll take care of everything." he said reassuringly.


    Rachel nodded. "Okay. I do appreciate that. Go back to your woman now and exin everything to her.


    She looked ready to scratch my eyes out ." That she said with a lightugh.


    He chuckled. "She can be a little possessive like me."


    Rachelle''s brow went up. " Only a little? I saw you. You almost had beaten up Vivien''s brother. Keep


    your cool. Your girlfriend is hot and you can''t be smacking every man who looks at her. you know. See


    you around and please say hi to your mom for me. "


    He flexed his shoulder''s muscle. "I won''t have second thoughts beating up *ssholes." he smirked.


    "I''m sure!" Rachelle saidughing quietly before heading to the restroom.


    His lips formed a thin line when he saw Stacey on the dance floor. It looked like she was more drunk


    base on how she was dancing with Eve and her friends. All the blood seemed to have gone up his


    head when he saw a tall man with blonde hair made his way to her.


    Stacey turned to the man who touched her arm to get her attention. Unlike with James, she didn''t seem


    to want to resist because she faced him and just continued dancing.


    "F*CKING HELL!" he cursed.


    Stacey was just enjoying swaying to the music when suddenly the man she was dancing with was


    pulled by someone. She was aghast when she saw Nick punched him.


    The music didn''t stop so no one seemed to have seen or cared about what was happening. Eve puled


    her to one side of the dance floor as they both witnessed Nick smacking the man. Everything was


    happening so fast that no one dared to stop Nick. He shoved the man against a table then his eyes


    went around the room. He quickly walked to her. Her face distorted and she cried out a sound of


    He turned to Eve."My driver will all take the three of you home! Wait for him here!" he said chillingly.


    He dragged her outside. All herints were ignored by him. He made her lean against her car as


    he got his phone to call his driver. He instructed him to take Eve, Reba and Lyn home.


    "You can''t beat people just like that!" she furiously said when he ended the call .


    "I CAN AND I WILL! What the f*ck were you doing dancing with that *sshole?! And didn''t I tell you not


    to drink anymore?! " he asked in a clipped tone.


    "I will drink if I want to! " she said slurring her words. " Let me go!?!" she tried to free her arm again.


    His eyes narrowed and his nostrils are ring. "You are really pushing my limit honey.."


    "Don''t call me honey! I made my decision, I don''t want to be with you anymore! I am really breaking up


    with you! A lot of women want you and I don''t like to always worry that once you get tired of me you


    can easily find a recement! I can''t live like that! I am better off with a in-looking man than with


    you! I wished you were just Derick ! I was happier with him even he didn''t want to show his face to me!"


    she said.


    Some of her words weren''t even clear because she was slurring but Nick understood perfectly.


    She blinked her eyes a few times when she noticed how scary his face was . She jutted her chin and


    said," You no longer scare me! I meant every word I said."


    She could hear his shallow breathing.


    "Where is your f*cking key?" he asked while gritting his teeth.


    She hugged her purse and tried to get away from him which made his face more furious.


    "You gave the car to me so it''s mine and I am not giving you my key." she said.


    He cursed and pulled her closer and forcefully got her bag.


    "You are so bossy! You think you can have everything you want! " She swayed when she tried to hit his


    chest.


    He uttered a bad word as he caught her. "This will be thest time that you''ll drink!" He opened the


    door and almost shoved her inside. He tossed her bag to the backseat.


    As expected, she protested. "Let me out! I am not going anywhere with you! "


    "One more word from you and I will f*ck you right here! " he said through clenched teeth and she


    believed him.


    It made her think of their wild lovemaking. She bit her bottom lip and stared at him with smoky eyes. He


    was leaning towards her as he put her seat belt on. His pleasant breath was fanning her face. She


    wanted to raise her hand to his angry but still very handsome face. She stopped and reminded herself


    that she had broken up with him already.


    "I will take you where I f*cking want and no one can stop me! "


    She noticed that his face was red from anger.


    "O-Okay but this will be thest time I will go with you ! " she slurred before resting her head on the


    seat. She felt a bit tired and sleepy all of a sudden.


    Nick cursed. "The hell it is!" he closed her door and went around the driver''s seat


    He had been trying to control his anger sincest night. He was willing to do everything she wanted to


    at least make it up to her. But seeing her do things which he didn''t like and telling him that she''d rather


    be with other men but him as Nick are all f*cking too much. He is enraged.


    Stacey looked at his angry profile. "Where are we going? Bring me to Eve''s! Don''t you dare bring me to


    any one of your condos! " she slurred while settlingfortably on the seat.


    He didn''t react. His clenched fists on the wheel.


    "NICK! didn''t you hear me?!" she asked with a frown. She opened her eyes to glower at him.


    "I told you that I don''t want you to see my evil side but you have gone too f*cking far..." he said


    menacingly before he stepped on the elerator.

 Chapter 85

    Chapter 85


    In a sleepy voice she just said, "Whatever..."


    Nick threw an angry nce at her . "I will teach you a lesson you won''t forget...." he said.


    "Shhh! I want to nap." she sleepily said.


    He hated it when she said that she was breaking up with him. After tonight he would make sure that


    she would never say such words again.


    She woke up with a slight headache. She couldn''t see anything nor could freely move her arms. She


    was tied up on bed and she has a blindfold on! She was just in her bra and bikini! It was exactly like


    when Derick kidnapped her! Her heart was racing.


    "NICK!! " she angrily hollered.


    Nick was sitting on the sofa on the left side of the bed drinking his whiskey. He was only wearing white


    briefs and he shaved his stubble.


    "So you''re finally awake honey.." he said hoarsely. He looked and sounded rxed as if he had all the


    time in the world.


    She tried to pull her wrists but her movements were restrained. "What''s this? Is this some kind of a


    joke? If it is, then it¡¯s not funny!"


    She heard the sound of ice hitting a ss. Her forehead creased "Are you drinking?" she asked but


    she got no answer from him. "Nick!"


    "Call me Nick one more time honey..then see what happens.." he threatened in a voice as cold as the


    Arctic.


    She swallowed. What he is up to? She asked herself.


    She tried to free her wrists but to no avail. She didn''t want to worry knowing that Nick wouldn''t


    physically hurt her.


    But this time you pissed him. Really pissed him. A part of her brain reminded her.


    Nick''s eyes are narrowed as he lustfully looked at his woman on the bed. He gulped some of the


    whiskey while sittingfortably . He had a full view of her and he could feel his d*ck reacting.


    "You look so f*cking sexy lying on the bed honey, only in yourcy underwear that leaves a little to the


    imagination." he said throatily.


    Her nipples hardened and she felt her clit throbbed. "Untie me please.." she pleaded.


    She remembered Derick. They used to make love with her sleeping mask on. Her first time with him


    might have been a nightmare but the next ones were all pleasurable. She was definitely getting


    sexually excited. She had enjoyed Derick''s lovemaking before without knowing what he looked like.


    What more now that she already knew that Derick and Nick are the same? Nichs Derick Alcantara


    was hot as hell.


    And he is yours... she told herself but she quickly erased that thought.


    She shouldn''t want to be with him anymore. He was way too good-looking for a woman''s piece of mind.


    Especially if that woman was his girlfriend.


    Nick gulped some more of the booze while running his eyes over her lovely body. "You f*cking know


    that you belong to me honey, don''t you?" he asked coldly.


    She moistened her lips. Now that she was sober, her fear of him was creeping back.


    "N-No one owns me! I broke up with you or have you forgotten?!" she asked feistily.


    She heard the loud thud of the ss hitting the table and it made her gasped.


    Gritting his teeth, Nick went towards the bed. He was breathing raggedly. He was aware that she was


    nervous as a cat by the way she was breathing.


    He leaned towards her. He held her chin and said., "I don''t want you to repeat what you just f*cking


    said ever again!You are mine! And you can never get away from me!"


    "W-What will you do to me? Are you going to force me to have sex with you?!" she still tried her best to


    sound unafraid.


    Nick let out a sneering smile. "We both know that will not happen honey. I don''t need to do that. " he


    whispered to her ear as he touched the side of her face with his forefinger.


    She clenched her teeth. He knew her body''s reaction to him too well. She turned her face to the other


    side. She felt his warm breath on her left ear and the left side of her neck. He is on top of her but his


    body was hardly touching hers.


    "I will make you squirm with pleasure as I f*ck you.."he said throatily.


    Her breathing hitched. She felt more aroused with what he said. It was very pleasurable when she did it


    with Derick with the sleep mask on. When Nick made love to her it was equally good. Now she couldn''t


    fully imagine how great it would be made love to him as Nick with a blindfold on . A moan almost


    escaped her just thinking about the immense sexual enjoyment she would experience tonight.


    "I thought you don''t like using that word to me."she asked. She was almost holding her breath because


    Nick was now kissing her neck. She felt his smooth skin because he was without his stubble.


    "You have been a bad girl. You deserved to be punished..." he said throatily as his lips ran on her skin.


    "Please..." she pleaded. She didn''t even know what she was pleading for. She heard him released a


    quiet but sarcasticugh.


    "Please? Please what honey?" His lips were on the valley between her breasts.


    Think of beautiful things Stacey! She had to distract herself because what Nick was doing was so


    sexually arousing.


    She had to keep her pride. She had been telling him she was breaking up with him so she shouldn''t let


    her body betray her.


    He released her tits without unhooking her bra. As he kneaded them with his hands he asked , "You


    miss being f*ck with a cover on your eyes honey?"


    Her breathing was now slowly bing shallow. "Release my hands! Take off this blindfold! I don''t


    want you!"


    "Why deny yourself immeasurable pleasure that only I can give you?" he asked in a hoarse voice.


    She felt that he was smirking while he said that. "You are ttering yourself too much! There are other


    men.." Nick gripped her chin.


    "F*CKING HELL! You are really asking for it!!" he furiously before roughly kissing her.


    "MMPP!!" she pretended to protest.


    His tongue prated her mouth savagely which was so erotic. She hated her body because it couldn''t


    say no to him. Her nipples were very hard not only because one of his hands was tugging one of them.


    She was dying to be possessed by him. She felt so wet down there too. Everything about her man was


    waking every cell and pore in her body. She moaned when he released her lips.


    He straightened to kneel on the bed. He had her body between his legs. His eyes were full of lust and


    anger as he stared at her.


    "No other man can ever have you! You belong to me!!" he rasped.


    He pulled her bra. His eyes narrowed into slits as his desire for her increased . He began sucking one


    nipple as he squeezed the other one.


    She moaned with pleasure and Nick groaned in satisfaction when he heard her. He stopped what he


    was doing with her breasts and looked at her face covered by the blindfold.


    "I will prove to you that your body only reacts to me because I own every inch of you!" he growled.


    She continued to make a low sound at the back of her throat as Nick''s lips went down her t tummy.


    He was licking her belly button and the skin around it. He was taking his time kissing and licking her


    there while his left hand was kneading her breasts simultaneously . His other hand was on her inner


    thigh.

    "N-No..." a weak protest escaped her when she felt him pull down her bikini with force.


    He positioned his head between her legs . He separated her fold. The pink flesh of her sex was inviting


    him to taste all of her. She was so wet already.


    "P-Please..no.." she whimpered.


    Nick smirked when he saw her grip the shirt he used to tie her wrists on the headboard.


    He ducked his head then began swirling his tongue inside her.


    She was wriggling her body as the sound of her pleasure filled the room. She was going to explode


    very soon as Nick''s tongue madepping sounds while he licked and sucked her cl*t.


    He knew that she was almost ready for her release by the way she was moaning and moving her body.


    With onest lick, he straightened. He smiled with satisfaction when he saw her frown through her


    blindfold.


    "N-..H-Honey?" she almost said Nick but she remembered his threat.


    GOSH! Why did he stop? Is this my punishment? He will leave me unsatisfied? She asked herself.


    Nick walked to the table. He poured more whisky in his ss. He heard her calling him but he ignored


    her. After finishing the booze, he flexed his shoulder muscles.. He was not done punishing her but he


    badly needed a cold shower


    "Honey? Where are you?" her sweet voice called.


    He just threw her a nce before going to the bathroom.


    She was about to cry. She had told him inappropriate things especially her wanting to break up with


    him . She was able to sat all those because she had too much alcohol and she was jealous. Only a half


    of her wanted to really break up with him. Maybe it was really time that she poured her feelings to him


    so he could understand why she said all those. She realized one thing. She couldn''t live without him.


    She wanted to take back all she said to him. She loved him so much. She made a mistake by going out


    with the girls and dancing with other men so she would ept his punishment. She deserved it


    anyway. She would really say sorry to him after her punishment and she would tell and show him how


    much she loved him. She had to work on her insecurities seriously. Nick had been telling her how he


    was into her too. She just had to rely on that so she won''t let her jealous feelings cloud her mind. She


    would never do again what she did tonight nor say that she wanted out of their rtionship.


    "Are you ready for another punishment honey?" came Nick''s very cold voice.

 Chapter 86

    Chapter 86


    (Nick)


    He was standing outside the bathroom. He just had his cold shower. His lower body was covered by a


    white towel and was glistening with water. He had no briefs on. He leaned his right shoulder on the


    door frame and his muscled arms were folded on his broad chest as he looked at her tied on the bed


    with a blindfold on.


    This scene was familiar. It reminded him of what he did to her before. He tried to erase that in his mind.


    This was something different. He loved her and she loved him too though not as much as he did but he


    it didn''t matter to him. Tonight, he would prove to her that they were meant to be together .He may


    have had many sex partners before but no one had made him feel this way. For him, she was his first


    andst. It goes without saying that he would be hers too. He would not hesitate to kill any *ssholes if


    he won''t be herst. After herst punishment, they would definitely have a heart- to- heart talk again.


    "H-Honey?" she called him. Her voice was almost like a whisper.


    He uncrossed his arms then slowly walked to the bed. He leaned over the headboard. He loosened his


    undershirt which he used to confine her hands. He saw the relief on her face. She should know that he


    would never physically hurt her.


    "Stand up!" he ordered and her forehead creased.


    (Stacey)


    She stood up. He tied her hands together behind her back. She almost moaned when she smelled his


    body. Seems like he had a shower. She loved the smell of his No.88 soap by Czech & Speake. He


    smelled delicious.


    "Sniffing me honey?" he asked with a smirk.


    She moistened her lips with the tip of her tongue. Nick''s eyes darkened when she did that.


    DAMMIT Alcantara! You are supposed to make her sexually excited and not the other way around!


    Shit! He reprimanded himself.


    "Can I have a shower too honey? I can''t see anything please go with me." she suggested huskily.


    She had no idea what was her next punishment. She only had the desire to make love with him.


    Nick''s breathing became ragged. He knew that it was not gonna be easy pretending that he was not


    sexually aroused. He needed more control.


    "NO!" he said with a harsh tone.


    She nibbled the inside of her bottom lip. She had no idea that Nick found her so ravishing standing up


    naked with her hands tied behind her. Her nipples were thrust forward. He touched one of h them with


    his thumb and she reacted. Her breathing became ragged.


    "Do you want me to f*ck you hard honey?" he whispered as he smelled her hair.


    Her throat felt dry. She nodded. "I want nothing more than to be loved by you honey.." she said huskily.


    Nick stopped. He didn''t know if he would be able to go on with his n of punishing her. It would be


    more like punishing himself if he won''t take her. He nned of leaving her unsatisfied and wanting for


    more. He was going to prate her from behind then would pull out his member once she was near


    her release.


    What a stupid n! He furiously thought.


    Because of his anger and obsession for her, he had be brainless. How could he do all those if he


    had a hard-on each time he imagined her? He had a cold shower to cool down his desire to take her


    and have his release.


    "SHIT!" he cursed which startled her.


    She didn''t want to upset him more because he still sounded angry. "H-Honey...go on with my


    punishment. I deserve it. I have been really bad. Please punish me." she said.


    Nick moved back from her and grabbed some of his hair in vexation. DAMMIT! The way she said that


    was so f*cking sensual and suggestive! He told himself angrily. He walked back to the table to have


    more whiskey. He had to take a grip of himself.


    She felt him moved from her. She hoped that he would stop getting mad at her because of the things


    she did and told him out of her jealousy. Maybe it would be better if she apologized to him already. She


    just wanted to be held by him and hear him say how much he loved and desired her.


    She readied herself. "H-Honey..I love you so much..I am so sorry."


    Nick was about to gulp some of the liquid when she said that. He slowly turned to look at her. He


    frowned. He thought he was just hearing things.


    Did she really say that? he asked himself.


    She chewed the inside of her lower lip. "P-Please honey don''t be angry anymore. I take back all I''ve


    said. I didn''t mean them. I-I w-was just insecure because I love you so much."


    He put down his ss on the table. He went back to her to take off her blindfold so he could see her


    eyes. She blinked several times to adjust her eyes to the light in the room.


    He cupped her face . "Honey? Did I ever give you a reason to be insecure? I have been telling you how


    I feel about you. Can''t you see and feel how crazy I am about you?" he asked.


    She closed her eyes for a moment. Her heart skipped a bit when she saw how he was looking at her.


    Different emotions were ying in his eyes.


    " I am so scared that you will soon get tired of me. Too many women want you. I am just a nobody..."


    Nick stopped her by kissing her on the mouth. It was a tender kiss.


    When he finally lifted his lips he said," I do love you very much. I don''t care about other women. Never


    forget that okay?"


    She nodded. She decided that from now on she will just have faith in his love. "Get used to witnessing


    catfights then! " she said with a heavy frown.


    His face lightened with a grin. "Be my guest honey. You can have a repeat of what you did to Tanya" he


    said and she giggled.


    " Well with your connections, I am not surprised you knew about that . That''s good then. At least you


    know what I am capable of doing too."


    With a chuckle, he said, " I like that honey." He kissed her on the lips lightly," You don''t need to worry


    about me wanting any other women."


    She stared at him with her mouth a little open. His lips went down on hers again. This time from tender


    to torrid.


    It felt so sensual. She was naked and her hands were tied behind her while her man kissed her torridly.


    His upper body was bare and her nipples were touching his damp flesh. Her face was framed by his


    hands. She couldn''t help but moan. Her cl*t was still sensitive from his kisses moments ago and the


    way he was invading her mouth was making her really wet again. He must have sensed that because


    he released her hands while kissing her. Her hands went immediately around on his arms. He knew


    she liked touching and feeling his biceps. He then put his left hand on her back and his right hand


    slowly went down her most private part. He slid his index finger inside her slit to tease her cl*t. She


    moaned. Her hands on him tightened as he yed with her most sensitive part. She tore her lips from


    his and buried her face on his chest as she made small sounds of pleasure.


    "Go on honey.." He whispered. He knew she wasing soon. He increased the intensity of his


    finger''s movement and her moans became louder.


    "You are so wet honey..." He concentrated on her sweet nub though he wanted to have his finger inside


    her hole.


    Her body trembled and she made a long guttural sound as she had her big O. He hugged her and


    waited for her breathing to be normal again. He murmured their endearment against the top of her


    head repeatedly. After a few moments she raised her face.


    She gazed lovingly at him then said huskily, " I love you honey."


    "I love you very much. Don''t ever doubt that okay?"


    She just nodded. She ran her fingers on his chin. "You look really good with or without your stubble."


    "Which do you prefer?" he asked throatily.


    She chewed her bottom lip. "Hmm....maybe with your stubble on..." she said with a sexy smile.


    "Then I will never shave my stubble again. I want to do what my woman wants." he said while smiling


    naughtily.


    Her smile widened. "Then I am such a lucky woman."


    Nick shook his head. "I am luckier because I have you." he said.


    She tiptoed and sped her arms a around his nape.


    "Honey for the nth time I will repeat this again. I don''t want any men near you. You saw what I did at the


    bar. I could do worse. " he said with knitted brows.


    She ran the tip of her tongue on her lips before nodding. " I know I apologized many times already but I


    want to say sorry again. " sheughed lightly.

    "I also punched James. You didn''t notice because you were drunk and dancing with your eyes closed.


    He was lucky he is Vivien''s brother if not I could have injured him really badly." he said seriously.


    Her mouth formed an O from surprise. He released a heavy sigh while his eyes are on her lovely


    features.


    "How did you know that I was there? You didn''t even bother to call or text me."she asked.


    He gently touched her hair. "I was busy. Or I tried to keep myself busy. I was too pissed with your rules.


    I hated that I couldn''t be with you . I wasn''t even allowed to kiss or touch you or call you honey! That


    was hell for me! You are mine and you shouldn''t even stop me from doing those to you so I am sorry


    honey but I couldn''t really do what you want. You are staying with me not with Eve. I will still give you


    choctes and flowers wherever and whenever I want! And never stop me from kissing or touching


    you unless you want a sorehead around. And to answer your other question, there is a tracking device


    installed in your car. " he confessed. He kissed her quickly on the lips when he felt that she was about


    to protest. "Wait! Listen honey before you get angry." he said gently.


    She just sighed. "Better exin yourself well!"


    He nodded. "My main reason why I had that installed is I always worry about you when we aren''t


    together. Of course I want to know where you are and who you are with but I always want you to be


    safe honey." he said sincerely.


    "Are you sure about that? I have a feeling that you had it installed because you don''t trust me. "


    With furrowed brows he said, " I trust you but I don''t trust *assholes." he said with a clipped tone.


    She shook her head. "And I thought that my jealousy was too much.." she said.


    He chuckled. "Oh no honey..an obsessed man is the worst. But rest assured that when ites to


    taking care of you and loving you...I am that man ...the only one! Keep that in mind!"


    "Okay. Noted. but enough of this honey...I want to do something with you." she said huskily as she ran


    her index finger across his chest.


    His eyes narrowed." What is it honey?"


    She looked seductively at him. "You gave me pleasure with my sleeping mask on as Derick and now


    with blindfold as Nick. And I have to say that the experience was really...." she didn''t continue what she


    wanted to say..instead, she nipped her bottom lip and seductively looked at him to describe her feeling.


    Nick took one deep breath. "And.....?" he asked hoarsely.


    " I like you to experience such pleasure too. I want you to f*ck me because I have been a bad girl." she


    said while smiling naughtily.


    He just stared at her while slightly frowning.


    Her finger went down to his abs. "Honey, this time I will return the favor" she whispered.


    His brows creased. "What do you mean honey?" he said throatily as his Adam''s apple moves.


    ".I want you to wear a blindfold while we f*ck.." she huskily said.


    "F*CKING HELL..."

 Chapter 87

    Chapter 87


    Nick clumped his lips as his woman kissed his neck and she was running her hands on his body. He


    moaned when her tongue swirled around his left nipple. He wanted to touch her but he was tied on the


    bedpost.


    "You like this honey?" she asked in a breathy voice.


    He bit his bottom lip when his woman held his hard-rock shaft with her right hand. Gently tugging at it


    as if to make it longer. The sound he was making became louder.


    "Enjoy the pleasure of not seeing...just feeling...." she said huskily.


    "F*ck honey..." he groaned when he felt her wet tongue at the tip of his manhood.


    When she sucked and enclosed it in her mouth, the bed moved violently as his body reacted. Since he


    couldn''t move his wrists freely, he just clenched his hands. He was continuously moaning as his


    woman gave him a head.


    "H-Honey..untie me .I want to f*ck you now...." he requested throatily.


    He felt that the pleasure was building too fast . He was afraid that his seed would spurt if she won''t


    stop.


    She sucked him one more time before releasing his huge and delicious d*ck. She wanted his man milk


    inside her. The ecstasy was even greater when his shaft was in her when she had her big O. Of course


    she was notining when he tongue- f*cked her. But him buried in her hole gave her the feeling


    that he was really hers. She looked at his naked magnificent body on the bed and his to die for face


    covered with a blindfold. She wanted to rejoice because this wonderful and sexy as hell man was


    hers..truly hers.


    "No honey... this time...I will f*ck you.." she huskily said.


    She saw him caught his breath when she said that. He tried to free his hands but he couldn''t.


    "DAMMIT honey..." he said as in agony.


    She went on top of him to kiss him on the mouth. She held his face with her hands. She dominated


    C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    their French kiss. Nick lifted his head to deepen the kiss and they are both moaning.


    When she raised her lips he said, "Don''t ever think of leaving me honey. .you are mine!" he threatened


    while gritting his teeth.


    She traced his jaw with her forefinger. "I won''t. I promise. And as for you , Nichs Derick Alcantara, I


    will cut your d*ck if you ever touch other women!"


    He shook his head. "That will never happen! I only want you honey."


    She smiled with satisfaction. She offered her tits to him. . She didn''t need to say anything. Her man


    sucked her left nipple hungrily while he made sounds at the back of his throat.


    She let him suck her nipples simultaneously for a while before she positioned herself on top of him.


    She straddled him. She slowly sat on his member savoring every second of it. They both released a


    sound from their throats when her hole got filled with him. It was too long so she couldn''t sat on it fully.


    She began moving...gyrating...every movement increases their need to be both satisfied.


    Nick felt that his wrists were almost red from the force of his hard pull. He wanted to see her as she


    moved on top of him but of course it wasn''t possible. The lust they felt intensified. She began to move


    up and down his shaft faster. She had her head thrown back as she moved Her breasts going up and


    down. The bed was shaking violently and the sound of their moans and groans filled the room.


    She gyrated deeper..faster...harder. They both made animal sounds as they got their released.


    ***


    Nick has his arms wrapped around her as they lie on the bed. They made love twice. He demanded


    that she untie him and he removed his blindfold. She may find being blindfolded and tied up while they


    make love pleasurable but he preferred touching her and seeing her as they do it which was was


    pleasurable too. It was just that he wanted to dominate their lovemaking. Maybe they could do that


    once a while. He wanted her to be happy in and out of their bed.


    "I love you very much honey." she murmured against his chest.


    He smiled against the top of her head. Nick was gratified that the feeling was actually mutual.


    "I love you too very much honey....much more than you know. It''s okay with me if you get jealous once


    in a while because I like it .But remember that I love and desire you too much to want any other else."


    he said then hugged her tighter.


    ***


    They got married in a cruise ship. She wanted it to be simple. Nick had his family and his closest


    friends at the wedding. As for her, she invited Eve, Lucille, Reba and Lyn.Her family wasn''t able to


    everything was now okay with them. She talked to her mom on the phone and she said that she finally


    told her stepdad about what Heather did to her in the past and the most recent one. Her stepdad was


    furious and ordered Heather to finish her schooling in Australia .She was also able to talk to him and


    Heather through an overseas call. For the first time, she felt Heather''s sincerity when she apologized.


    Her half-sister even said that in the future they could have a long talk. She was d to hear that.


    Somewhere in her heart she was hoping that she would realize her mistakes and that time finally came.


    At the end of the day, they were still family.


    She wanted to invite ke but she didn''t of course. Until now Nick was still jealous of him. And


    ording to her friend, ke stayed in for a few months in Spain where his grandmother was so he


    could heal . His long-time girlfriend hasn''t only been cheating on him with another man. And what''s


    worse is, he wasn''t the real father of his ex''s son. ke loved the boy like his own.


    ***


    Nick just got home from his office.


    "Honey?" his forehead was creased.


    His wife seemed to have spaced out as she sat on the kitchen table. She was holding a half peeled


    apple.


    "Hi honey." she greeted him back when she heard his voice. She stood up to kiss him.


    "What were you thinking?" he sounded doubtful.


    He heard that Eve''s cousin just got back from Madrid. He didn''t want to think that his wife might be


    thinking about him.


    " I was thinking of our wedding again. I still can''t believe you spent so much money on that cruise for all


    our guests." she said while shaking her head.


    "I can afford it .If you let me, I wanted it to be grander." he said still frowning heavily.


    She kissed him again on the lips. She wondered why he looked angry.


    "Honey? What''s wrong? Did you have problems at the office?" she asked as she loosened his tie.


    He held her hand to stop what she was doing. "Are you sure you''re not thinking about Eve''s cousin??!"


    he rasped.


    Sheughed lightly. "Honey, why are you still jealous of ke?" she asked and his expression became


    grimmer.


    "I will f*cking kill him if I found out you still think of him! You probably even wanted him at our wedding!"


    She sighed then tiptoed to give him a peck on the cheek. She had proven that however violent her


    husband was when he was jealous, he was a good person. She discovered that it wasn''t him who had


    ke beaten up, it was thetter''s ex-girlfriend''s current boyfriend who was jealous of him. And Nick


    told her that it was Tanya who paid men to sh the tires of ke''s big bike. She almost shook her


    head because she thought her husband was the mastermind. It is time to pacify him again.


    "Gosh honey..look at me."she lowered her eyes to her tummy. She was already 8 months pregnant.


    "Who would still be interested in me ?" she sighed.


    Nick''s expression didn''t change. His wife looked even lovelier. Pregnancy suited her. And for him she


    was the sexiest pregnant woman.


    "I should be the one jealous because you were with Rachel." she said frowning.


    "You know damn well that we are just friends. She just wanted to thank me because I did everything to


    fix the problem between our fathers so finally they are okay now. She is going back to London


    tomorrow and we had lunch with her brother." he exined.


    "Well I am pregnant and I should be the insecure one not you, you know. "


    Nick sighed. He was being a jerk again. His mother told him that pregnant women were really sensitive.


    He should be boosting his wife''s confidence instead of letting his possessiveness control his emotions.


    He pulled her towards him. "Sorry honey." he murmured and kissed her. "Bear with me my wife. I love


    you very much and most of the time I can''t help being jealous. I never want to lose you." he emotionally


    said.


    She touched his face as she raised her head to meet his eyes.


    "I do love you too my PTEF husband. I will never get tired of saying that. I also don''t want to lose you


    and I can''t stop being jealous like you." she said huskily.


    He shook his head and look at his wife lovingly. They can fantasize about me but I already have the


    pink taco I want. You will never lose me. You got me for life. You are my love and my life...." Nick said


    before iming her lips.

 Chapter 88: Final Chapter

    Chapter 88: Final Chapter


    She couldn''t help but smile when she remembered what happened at the hospital when she gave birth


    to their daughter Amara risse who is now 5 years old. Amara means beloved and risse means


    bright, shining, gentle and famous.


    (shback)


    It was their second day at the hospital when Nick saw a nurse in the room.


    "What are you doing?" he asked the male nurse with his brows knitted.


    "Sir I just checked your wife''s blood pressure.." he replied courteously.


    She sighed when she saw her husband''s lips formed a thin line.


    "Honey, my blood pressure is normal. Do you want Floyd to check yours too?" she asked and her


    husband''s expression became darker.


    He was watching the poor young nurse like a hawk which made the young man looks ufortable.


    "Floyd?!" he rasped. F*CKING HELL! Why does she know this asshole''s name? he asked feeling


    pissed.


    Now she even rolled her eyes. She knew what he was thinking as usual.


    "Honey, his name te says Floyd T. Perez." she told him with a small smile before looking at the


    nurse again. "Floyd, thank you. You don''t need to take my husband''s blood pressure It might break


    your blood pressure monitor. I think it''s sky high. " she joked.


    She gave Nick her sweetest smile and held her hand to him. Still frowning, he came closer to her and


    took her hand. The male nurse said goodbye politely to both of them.


    (End of shback)


    They were at the mall. Nick didn''t really like shopping that''s why he had his personal shopper. . At first


    his exnation was he found shopping at stores a waste of time. Soon she discovered it was because


    C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    he didn''t want women checking him out. But she wanted them to have a normal life and since he loved


    her so much, he said yes today. They were window shopping when suddenly their daughter started


    crying so she had to go to the breastfeeding station. She and Amara had been inside for 2 15 minutes


    when the nurse called her.


    "Mrs. Alcantara? Your husband wanted to know if you are finish now."


    She almost shook her head because her husband was being impatient again. He didn''t want her and


    their baby to be out of his sight.


    "Please tell him we''ll be out in 2 minutes. Thanks." she said with a smile.


    She touched Amara''s cheek gently and in a soft voice. " We have to go out baby. I think you''re all good


    now. We don''t want to stress your daddy."


    She was d that their baby seemed to understand because she didn''t even cry when she stopped


    breastfeeding her.


    "Oh dear!" she muttered when she saw how heavy Nick''s frown was when he atst saw them.


    He walked with the stroller. " What took you so long? Is she okay? She was really crying loudly a while


    ago."


    "She was just hungry honey. She cries louder at home." she told him as she gently put their sleeping


    baby in the stroller.


    "Is that normal? Isn''t that bad for her health?"


    She kissed him quickly on the cheek . "Honey, you worry too much. Babies do cry loudly."


    He pulled her towards him. He kissed her temple. "I will never stop worrying about you two. I will get a


    female bodyguard for you and Amara so I don''t worry about ." he said seriously.


    She moved a little away from him. "No need honey. We hardly go out without you. That''s just a waste of


    money." sheined.


    " I will hire someone to watch over you. There could be times that I can''t go with you especially now.


    My new business with Dad and Alfred will open soon. I will get someone from a trusted agency." he


    said with finality.


    She heaved a sigh and felt a bit annoyed. Her husband was as usual having his own way. She pursed


    her lips and started walking ahead of him. Nick, while pushing Amara''s stroller called her but she


    ignored him. She is irritated with him because he was being unreasonable again as usual. He didn''t


    even allow her to drive after she gave birth because he said he would just be worried if didn''t drive for


    her. If he was busy, Norman was her driver/ bodyguard. Actually it was probably because of post-natal


    syndrome why she felt like this. Nick was in fact a very sweet and loving husband though most of the


    time overprotective.


    She stopped walking and turned to him and Amara who were a few feet away. Nick''s voice called her


    again in a more thunderous voice. She frowned and walked towards them.


    "What''s wrong?" she worriedly looked at Amara and was relieved when she saw her sleeping


    peacefully.


    Dammit! Nick mumbled.


    He was admiring his wife''s sexy backside a moment ago. She had be sexier and more beautiful.


    She was in a in ck top and ck skinny jeans. No one would know that she just gave birth just a


    few months ago. His blood boiled when he noticed that men were staring at her.


    "Honey? What is it?" she asked because he looked angry.


    "Unless you want me smacking *ssholes walk beside me!!" he rasped.


    With a puzzled look she asked. " Huh?Why?"


    He gritted his teeth. "Can''t you see how d*ckheads here look at you? F*cking hell! You were walking


    like you were not with your husband! They probably think you were still single! DAMMMIT!"


    She rolled her eyes and just shook her head. She also noticed that women were doing a double take


    because of him but she chose to ignore them. She was more secured of his love for her. Just for them


    not to bicker again, she came closer to him and wrapped her arm around his.


    "Honey don''t mind them . I don''t even see them because I only see you." she said huskily as she raised


    her head a little to look into his eyes.


    He sighed then gave her a peck on the lips.


    "I love you." she said as she smiled sweetly at him.


    Finally his face broke into a smile. " I love you more honey." he murmured and he traced the side of her


    face with his index finger.


    She had to bear his mood swings minus his possessiveness, because she couldn''t ask for more. Who


    would ever think that Nichs Derick Alcantara would fall in love with the right woman and that woman


    was her.


    ***


    "Honey..." Nick whispered as he kissed her nape.


    She pretended to be asleep. Her husband was tired when he got home but he said that after he rested,


    they would definitely make love.


    "Honey...I want you.." he said hoarsely as he turned her to him.


    She didn''t open her eyes. "Hmmm..honey. I am too sleepy. "


    He continued kissing her neck then his lips went to her breasts. They both sleep in nude because that


    was her husband wanted. His right hand was busy with her most private part down there. She coudl


    feel his rock-hard manhood between them.


    It is very hard to pretend she was sleep now that he was doing pleasurable things to her but she


    wanted to tease him a bit more.


    "Honey I could hardly open my eyes.. let''s do it tomorrow.. hmm.. " she murmured.


    She heard him sighed heavily. She frowned when she felt him get up from the bed. She was worried


    that he got annoyed so she promised herself that when he got back, she would stop pretending. Her


    p*ssy was so wet already. She opened her eyes when she felt went back to the bed.


    "Honey..I was just jok..." she couldn''t finished what she was saying when she saw him dangled a


    blindfold and his undershirt .


    "Tie me on the bed and blindfold me then you can do whatever you want to do with me honey." he said


    throatily.


    She smiled seductively at him. She pushed him to the bed. He was now lying on his back. She took the


    undershirt from him then straddled him.


    He was looking at her breasts lustfully.


    "Now you are talking honey..."she said huskily as she prepared to tie his wrists on the bedpost.

    and he was going and who hispanions were.


    ***


    It was Nick''s father''s birthday. Heather, ke , Eve and Lance who were newlyweds were at the party.


    The children were with their nannies in her inw''s yroom for Amara.


    She couldn''t help grit her teeth because she was jealous of Billy''s cousin who seemed to couldn''t take


    her eyes off her husband.


    "Stacey are you okay?" asked Heather.


    She was sitting on a table with her, Eve and Vivien. They were a few feet from Nick and hispanies.


    "I think Billy''s cousin Faye should be chat with us women instead of being with the men. Is she one of


    the boys or what? I don''t like how she behaves. Look at her! She seemed to want to flirt with our


    husbands especially with Nick! " she was clenching her hands on herp as she witnessed how the

    Eve cleared her throat. "Girlfriend maybe she still feel a bit shy with us. It''s our first time to meet her.


    And who wouldn''t feel giddy if you were surrounded with good-looking men like our husbands ?" she


    joked with a lightugh.


    "She is just being friendly. Stay cool. You are lovelier than her, no need to be insecure " came Vivien''s


    smiling voice.


    "I don''t like it! If it''s fine with you seeing her talk flirtatiously with your husbands then it''s not okay with


    me! " she got her phone and instead of going to them she would just text him.


    She didn''t want to make a scene because it was her father-inw''s birthday.


    She sent him a message.


    If you don''t stop flirting with that woman, I am going home!


    She leaned on the chair she waited for him to check his phone. But a few minutes had passed he didn''t


    get his cell phone in his pocket. She gnashed her teeth. She knew he heard his message alert tone .


    He was busy chatting with Faye. His back was on her but she saw the movement of his shoulders so


    he knew he wasughing. Looked like he was having so much fun chatting with Billy''s cousin. The


    other men were looking at Alfred''s phone.Maybe he was showing them the new site of the family''s


    business. She decided to go. The women especially Heather tried to stop her but she was determined


    to leave. She didn''t go home, she went to Lucille''s.


    When she got home Amara was already fast asleep but Nick waited up for her.


    "Where the f*ck have you been?"


    She ignored him. She unbuttoned her one piece dress and went straight to the bathroom. She would


    take a shower. She was thankful to Lucille because after their talk she felt calmer. Like what her in-


    she should stop being insecure.


    She went out of her dress and walked to the shower still ignoring Nick. She didn''t want to talk about


    what happened at his parents'' house. She would erase it from her mind and wanted to forget how she


    felt. She was soaping her body when the shower door was violently opened.


    He turned off the shower and pulled her to him by her hand.


    "Aww! Honey!" sheined.


    "Why did you just leave like that?! Where the hell did you go?! And what the f*ck was that text for?!" he

    "She is only 18 years okld for f*ck''s sake honey! And she is Billy''s cousin! She was just asking


    something about my business because her course is business management!"


    "Wow 18! How nice! Perfect for you! She can give you a dozen kids!"


    He released her then cursed angrily before leaving her . That made her realized that she was really too


    much. She quickly rinsed her body. She would talk to him and apologized. She was putting her


    marriage to jeopardy. She must stop.


    Nick was in the living room. He had a ss with whiskey. He changed into a white shirt and his


    pajamas. His shirt got soaked when he went to the shower to confront her. He seemed to be deep in


    thought because he didn''t notice that she was approaching him.


    She wrapped her arms around him from behind and buried her face on the side of his neck.


    "Honey I''m sorry. I didn''t mean that. I promise that would be thest. I won''t let my insecurities get the


    better of me. I love you so much." she said against his neck.


    He sighed then got her hanb before and he stood up. Now he was cupping her face as he looked at


    her.


    " You are what I need. Only you. I was obsessed with you then eventually I fell hard and when you


    became my wife I felt a contentment which I have been longing for. Then you gave me Amara. Can you


    even imagine how gratified I was when you told me you were pregnant? I only wished for you but our


    beautiful daughter was a very big blessing. I have more than anything I want and need. You and


    Amara. I don''t need another baby. You and our daugtherplete me. " he said emotionally.


    "Honey I love you very much too. Sorry if I have been a nagger and a jealous wife these past few


    years. Thank you for your love and providing the best for us.


    "Shh. No need to thank me. I do all that because I love you. I will give my life for you and our daughter.


    Always remember that I love you so much and I will never even think of doing anything to break your


    trust. I am forever yours my wife and you are mine too." He said in a throaty voice.


    She nodded. "Are you still obsessed with me honey?" she teased in a husky voice.

    breathily before pulling her by her nape for a kiss.
