Royce almost went crazy when she deepened the kiss, her hands running through his hair sent him to cloud nine, a feeling he’d never experienced before.

Their lips kept dancing passionately against each other, eyes shut tightly in estasy.

“Mnn.” Sierra moaned into the kiss, a sound enough to give him a hard on. Royce let out a throaty groan and few moments later, they broke off with their lips making cute sounds as they did

Both breathless but fulfilled, maintained eye contact. Royce’s hand was still on her waist and her’s wrapped around his neck. She slated her tongue over her lips and blushed as she tugged on his hair, her heart slamming at her chest dangerously.

The tingles she felt from the contact kept lingering under her skin.

Tempted, Royce bent slightly and pecked her lips sweetly before licking his lips too.

A moment of being silent passed, Sierra suddenly flashed a smile and he chuckled

“You’re adorable”

“Uh. You’re fine I guess..I should leave now. Goodnight” She rushed her words trying to move away from him but he tightened his hold on her waist

“When did you become a shy tyrant” He teased
‘Since you started pushing the boundaries’ She thought

“I just came to see if you were still burning but you’re not so I think I should go..”

“You’re supposed to stay with me, in here” He said in a whisper and she took in her lip

“Oh. Okay” She mumbled and before she could say anything else, he lifted her off the floor promoting her to curl her legs round his waist

“Seriously?” She pouted and he smirked dropping her gently on the bed

“Wait here.” He said and she nodded meekly. Royce then rolled over, he got off the bed and went to the bathroom

Sierra sighed holding her chest thinking what just happened shouldn’t have. But it felt so right…

Sierra quickly lay on her side when the door to the bathroom opened then shut her eyes pretending to be asleep. She felt him climb on the bed and wrapped his strong arms around her body posessively

“What are you thinking about Sierra?” He asked in a husky voice and she grumpily turned to look at him

“Who said I wasn’t sleeping.. tch”

“You just proved it”

“Royce… Uh.. let’s go see Kelsey tomorrow” She suggested and he hummed

“She needs to give an explanation for everything..she could’ve told me, Ray or…” He was about to call Eve’s name, then it dawned on him that since she left for Georgia, he hadn’t called or texted.. He’s been preoccupied with the tyrant with him right now. A small smile formed on his lips as Sierra moved roughly to find comfort in his arms, he hates cuddles but here he is initiating it with her and he loves it, her body drives him nuts and right now he was feeling like he had it all

She made him feel that way…he felt alive!

‘I still don’t understand what’s up with me’ He thought stroking her hair

“She probably was blackmailed. Don’t think too much about it, let’s just hope she’s fine. What was Jason doing there anyway?” Sierra asked

“Jason?”

“Yes, he was right on time and took her with him to the hospital. That was when you were uh, about to commit murder”

“Sh*t. I’m sorry about that” He said weakly

“I’m not judging you Royce, everyone’s got a past” She muttered and they cuddled closer, he covered them with the duvet

“You have a past too?” He asked afterwards breaking the silence, she nodded letting nature take its course

“I said everyone didn’t I?” She mumbled sleepily

“Sierra?” He called, but her soft snores filled the air. Royce kissed her hair and closed his eyes too

[ HOSPITAL: KELSEY’S WARD ]

Jason walked into the ward, his hands pocketed in the lab coat he wore. He had a stethoscope over his neck, when he got to the bed, he pulled the stool and sat on it looking at her bruised face

“That son of a duck!” He fumed referring to Donny as he caressed her face. Seeing her like this, so vulnerable made his heart ache in a very strange way. Maybe if he’d claimed her the first day he saw her in Royce’s office, this wouldn’t have happened

❝Hello Sir, I’m Kelsey Jade the CEO’S new secretary…❞ Were part of her words to him on a casual visit to Royce at his company and he must admit he was dumbstruck while looking at the petit lady. His body reacted in a very questionable way, and shrugging it off was the biggest mistake he made

Nevertheless, he made up his mind to treat her till she heals and then tell her how he feels.

“Doctor Jason, you’re here! I’ve been looking all over for you” A nurse walked to his side making seductive moves, she’s one of the nurses he f*cks

Jason was silent, he had his eyes on Kelsey and wasn’t in the mood for anything else especially not fcking wide pssies

“Leave now,”

“Aww.. c’mon, just one round doc.. I’m wet for you” She probed and Jason shot her a death glare that caused her to shiver

“I said leave!!” He thundered and she scampered out of the ward fearfully

Jason sighed and faced Kelsey taking her pale hand, he rubbed it fondly and kissed the back

“Get well soon Kel’s… We have unfinished business… I have unfinished business” He smiled and tucked her in properly before leaving

★★★

Easton was stunned to meet Presley sleeping on the couch. He thought she was awake but when he got closer, he sighed in relief seeing she was fast asleep. He looked the books, files and papers all over the area and shook his head

“She must be working on a case” He said and arranged the place, he set her laptop aside and picked her in his arms taking her to the room

“You came?” Presley asked sleepily with eyes closed and he nodded getting into the bed with her

“I’m sorry I came late” He pecked her and snuggled her close

Meanwhile… EASTON’S APARTMENT

Miley rolled all over the bed and ended up on the floor, she fluttered her eyelids open immediately.

“East baby?” She called and stood up rubbing her bare a$$. She looked around the whole apartment and when she didn’t find him, she sunk her teeth in her lip, jumping in anger with her b**bs jiggling

“Easton…he played me again!!” She seethed kicking her legs

★★★

THE NEXT DAY…

[ MORNING: ROYCE’S MANSION ]

Royce groaned and faced the other side of the room when the rays of the sun met with his face. He was slowly getting back his sleep when it came rushing to him that the space next to his felt cold

“Sierra” His eyes shot open instantly and he sat up looking at the bed

“Where did she go to..” He wondered getting out of bed, he stretched out his hands and lazily headed towards the pool side since the French windows that led in were open

“Sie…” He paused when he saw her sitting at the edge of the pool with her legs in the water kicking it while on a video call

He breathed in relief , cos for a moment he had a wild thought that she left him

Royce had a brief glance thrown her way before going to the bathroom

*

“Hey Presley” Royce smirked behind Sierra, startled, she jumped into the pool
Sierra glared at him and made a face

“F*ck you Royce….stay away from my best friend” Presley screamed from the phone and Sierra creased her brows after hanging up

“You know each other?” She asked Royce who got into the pool too. He nodded and stood in front of her

“Yeah, I’ve been to Connor’s firm a couple of times and we clashed, Presley Martinez. Mad lady she is, I should have known since tyrants keep tyrants as friends..” He grinned playfully throwing water at her face

“Like she said, you should stay away from me…I’m deadly” Sierra smirked and skilfully made him fall with a splash

“Deal with that, hmph!” She made to leave but he held her leg and pulled it causing her to fall back into the water

“Funny. I like deadly things” He smirked and she frowned, though her heart kept working quickly

“Let me go. Perverted idiot!” She snapped

“I don’t wanna” He whispered against her shoulder and she sucked on her breath
He then began placing quick kisses on her bare shoulder to her back sending shivers down her spine

“Royce… You should stop doing that without my permission” She whispered

“I can’t help it… Maybe cos you’re my first” He blurted and like magic she jumped off him, blinking in surprise

“Hahahaha” She bursted into laughter, his first? Such a liar

“I’m not kidding…” He said feeling embarrassed

“So what have you been doing with Everleigh then, just looking at each other? Forget her, they’re lots of women you take to your bed all the time…”

“There’s a lot of things we never do… A lot and kissing is one of them”

“This is so hard to believe. Well I’m lucky then..” She giggled still not believing, she swam to the railings and climbed out

“Let’s get..” She paused when she saw the serious and sincere look on his face,. Sierra blinked and gulped

“You weren’t kidding? OMG.. I.. I’m sorry for being so irresistible..” She said awkwardly and he flashed her a charming smile that made her redden like a tomato

“I’m glad you’re irresistible Sierra…” He swam to the edge and she squatted in front of him

“So why?”

“Because… I don’t know… Maybe… Don’t get hurt because of me. Tell me if you wanna stop okay?” He said with a dejected sigh and she shrugged getting up to leave

“Okay… Okay… Okay” She repeated leaving him confused

“Wait…what do you mean?” He shouted after she left

“Oh.. freaking Kay motherf*cker” She yelled back and he sighed diving deep into the pool

[ DAYS LATER ~ ADAM’S RESTAURANT ]

“So her friend caused a rift between you two, that’s sad… My friends would never do that to me” Chloe bragged sipping her smoothie while Adam smirked as he watched her

“How can you be so sure?”

“Oh boy, you don’t know my friends… I mean my besties, not casual freebies” She replied

“I think I’m getting over her” He said and she looked at him raising an amused brow

“I thought you said you loved her a whole lot” She queried and he nodded

“Maybe I was holding on too long… Staying away and not giving her face didn’t affect me too much like it used to…I don’t care anymore” He smiled

“Yayy..all thanks to my counseling, you’re welcome” She patted her shoulder, then picked her purse

“Tch… You think?” Adam asked and watched her as she dropped few notes on the table then neatly wrapped a $100 bill and placed it under her glass of water as a tip for the waiter

Adam was wowed, usually, customers were stingy giving out tips and when they did, they didn’t drop much but she just did and it didn’t seem to bother her…

“Since my coupon expires today, I’m deciding to pay early so as not to forget” She smacked her lips together

“$100? Wow”

“I earn to spend so it’s fair” She shrugged and he nodded

“Yeah…”

“So Adam, who are you? Don’t mind me, there’s something about you that rings a bell.. ” She asked out of the blue and his face paled

When Chloe looked up, she started feeling guilty for asking personal questions, he looked like he’d just been reminded of something he didn’t wanna remember

“Adam Fletcher” He said and she gasped, eyes widening

“No relation” He added and got up leaving her in deep thoughts

“Fletcher?” She called pondering deeply

★★★

[ 3:00PM~~A VAST GREEN LAND ]

Brandon could be seen standing in the center of the land, he has his hands behind his back and his usual frown gracing his face

Like he’d been doing for years, he came to look at the place he couldn’t get.

“What are you doing here?” Presley asked as she drew nearer to where he was standing, she was breathless by the time she reached where he was

“I didn’t know Ms Martinez loved checking this place too”

“Oh please stop being formal, it’s creepy” She rolled her eyes and took off her heels standing barefooted on the grass while placing her hands akimbo

“This is so big and beautiful, no wonder you wanted it. Tch… I wish I was nice, I’d have given it to you right away but I’m not. I have no idea what to do with the place anyway” She shrugged and he smirked

“I don’t expect you to hand it over, you’re too spicy to try” He blurted and she quickly cast him a glance

“Work on your flirting skills.. that didn’t make me smile” She mocked going to sit on the bench behind them

“How’s Asher… Man I miss that kid” She said dreamily with a wide smile

“He unfortunately misses you too…”

“I miss you too, since you’re jealous just take that from the top of my heart” She laughed while he chuckled lowly. Brandon also took a seat beside her

“I wanted to build a school or an estate here in his name…Emma did, she’s the one who found this property” He said

“Who’s Emma?”

“My wife…she’s late”

“Oh…I’m so sorry for your loss” Presley said sincerely and he glanced at her making the “really” type of look

“Well it’s never too late to sympathize” she said in her defense and he smirked

“I sounds like a threat coming from someone like you” He teased and she laughed out loud
Brandon found himself staring at her laughing face, he shook his head and looked away

After a while of not speaking, Presley stood up and stretched her arms before fixing her feet into her heels.

“Brandon, how about a deal to up your reputation” She asked and he rolled his eyes

“Are you that lazy that you want me to carry you all the way?” He asked

“Hey, how did you know.. it’s good you do, just look at me, I’m so exhausted, you don’t expect me to walk from here to there in heels do ya?”

“Then take em off”

“No way… It’s an opportunity to try your jumbled arms on me, Presley Martinez, not all get to touch me yunno” She sassed

“I’m not interested, leave the same way you got here” He started leaving, getting tired of her silly tantrums and bragging games

“What would Asher think of you if you leave me here…” She blinked and he halted

“You talk a lot and yet had nothing to say when being whipped in the court? I’m surprised” He mocked and her face fell, he hid a sly smile watching how she squeezed her face like a child deprived of candy. He knew his words got to her and he didn’t regret, at least for the mean time, she’s quiet

“Ha! ” Presley gasped sharply when she felt herself swooped from the ground, he was holding her, their eyes made contact and she blushed looking away

“Did you even bring your car? Please don’t tell me I’m driving you again” He emphasized and she smirked

“You’re my favorite enemy, I’m happy seeing you worked up all the time” She replied

“Oh God” Brandon was exhausted, he had no idea dealing with someone could be so draining, though he was starting to think otherwise…just a bit..a chunk of him still felt exhausted with her

The people who were around kept gushing over them, it was a great sight, to them they looked lovely together

“Home please” Presley shined her teeth when they got into the car

“Just stop talking”

“Wanna hear me sing?” Presley asked and when he glared at her, she started laughing

“Gosh” Brandon smiled igniting the engine and soon drove off

*

It was a hell of a ride since Presley decided to sing all through. Brandon was the first to get out of the car holding his ears

“My ears, my poor ears!” He mumbled

“There’s nothing holding me back!!” Presley screamed crazily jumping about, her attempt to singing was suicide and Brandon experienced it first hand

“East!!” She waved at Easton who was coming her way, completely forgetting about Brandon, she jumped on him excitedly, he held her in bridal style

“Hey” Easton eyed Brandon jealously and hurriedly starting taking Presley with him
Brandon scoffed and got into the car, he started the engine and tempted, he looked out of the window only to find Presley staring behind over Easton’s shoulder intently

They maintained the locked gazes till when Easton was about entering the building, Brandon didn’t miss the wink from her

“She’s sick” He smiled and drove away

[ 6PM~~ ROYCE’S MANSION: STUDY ]

Royce rolled his eyeballs tiredly and arched his back against the chair. He just finished a meeting with the staff online

His mind wondered to earlier at the hospital and he sighed

❝Because you don’t do love doesn’t mean he shouldn’t❞ That was Sierra snapping at him when he made a fuss about Jason’s confession of being into Kelsey

Kelsey was still unconscious but Jason blurted out his feelings to them carelessly

“What if he breaks her heart…” He asked

“Well that’s for Kelsey to decide when she wakes up… don’t be too bothered about it” Sierra entered the room with a plain look

“Have you been in love before?” He asked looking at her

“Plenty of times” She shrugged

“and they all broke your heart?” He smirked

“Yeah..” She said

“I’m being serious here” He whined when he noticed she was lying about it

“Okay, I’ve been in a tunnel of relationships but never really in love…”

“Why?”

“I’m waiting for the perfect one” She smiled and he smirked

“Perfect one…I can be the perfect one” He got up strolling to where she stood by the door

“I don’t do Playboys, and entitled CEOs” She smirked and his jaw fell

“I’m not entitled..maybe I am but..

“But you’ve got commitment issues…I’m scared of you” She sighed and he looked away, he does have issues with loving…ever since he saw his mother’s one sided love story, he’s developed a phobia for being in a relationship…what if he turned out like his father one day…

“I feel like a monster now” He laughed awkwardly and Sierra forced a smile, what was she expecting anyway, that he’ll just change for her..

Why would he change for her in the first place

“The maids made dinner” Sierra said and he nodded slowly, before pulling her in for a hug

“I do have a heart though, it beats all the time but it becomes wild when you’re around…” He admitted

“Royce!!” They disengaged when they heard the loud voice of someone familiar, someone Sierra started hating now

Eve just f*cking ruined this moment, she started missing his warmth already. She wanted to remain bind to him breathing his cologne

“Ever?” Royce looked at Sierra longingly before going to meet Eve who was at the verge of tears, the time she was standing there was enough to see them flirting and subsequently.. hugging

Her heart broke to pieces

“I want her to leave…she should leave” Eve burst into tears and hugged Royce tightly startling him, he wasn’t expecting that reaction

Slightly annoyed and jealous, Sierra stomped passed them descending the stairs to the dinning area. She sat on one of the chairs and was about serving herself when a cool feminine voice came from across the room
“Who are you?”

Sierra stood up slowly, with wide eyes as the lady approached her taking small steps
Soon she was standing face to face with Wren Evans…

“M..ma?”

“Who are you?” Wren asked again and her throat went dry instantly
