Chapter 34
Adam Wilson
After taking a few breaths to cool down, I heard the doorbell ring.
This is it.
I opened the door
...and there she stood.
Looking effortlessly beautiful.
Whatever dusky feelings I had before died out instantly because she seemed to light up my entire world easily.
She looked up at me and I felt a blast of warmth pour over me.
I was so glad that she was here. I don't know what it was, but there was a certain magic in her presence. All I wanted to do was be near her, hold her till the very end and never let her go.
She was dressed very casually in an oversized knitwear, blue jeans, and boots. But still she looked amazing. Heck! Everything about her was amazing.
"Come in." I finally said after my long mental appraisal of her.
I moved to the side for her to walk in and when she did, I caught a whiff of her scent. It was probably her hair conditioner because she smelt like a delicious apple...
Ripe, plump, and ready for plucking.
"What brings you here?" I said, getting my thoughts out of the gutter.
She was definitely here for something seeing that she had an envelope in her hand. It must be something official.
"I'm here to uh... get my documents signed." She said nervously as she fiddled with the envelope.
I stared at her confusedly. The idiot that I am had thought she was here to apologize for everything, or her hasty decision to leave... or maybe even ask for her job back.
On the contrary, she just couldn't wait to leave and have me out of her life forever. Showing up at my house by 9pm on a Friday just to get her documents signed was enough desperation. She couldn't even wait till Monday! Or perhaps tomorrow?!
"Couldn't this wait at least until tomorrow?" I folded my arms and widened my stance in annoyance. This was just unbelievable.
"No." She looked down, her hair partially hiding her face.
"Are you really that eager to leave?"
She didn't say anything.
"I guess silence speaks depths when words cannot."
That's when she looked up at me. Her eyes filled with an expression that I could not quite read but I'm sure she wasn't regretting this. There was no point anymore. If this is what she really wanted then she'll have it.
"Come with me. Let's get this over with." I said and began to make my way to the study. She followed behind me.
A thick awkward silence fell between us as we got to the study, I took a seat at my huge black desk and she sat on the other side. She pushed the documents to me and I collected them.
I skimmed through it, checking all the important information. I got out a stamp and a pen to put my signature in any place where it was required. I took me about ten minutes before I finished going through the bulky document.
I enclosed it and gave it back to her when I was done.
"Thank you." She said.
We both stood up.
"So you're finally free of me. I'm sure that's what you've always wanted. Well, there you have it."
"Mr Wilson please. Don't talk like that."
"Like what?" I challenged.
"Like you're some sort of monster that I've been trying to run away from." She said.
"But isn't that what I am to you?" I said slowly moving closer to her till I was in front of her. "A monster who violated the woman he loves and deeply cares about?" I said with sarcasm.
"I- It's not like that." She shook her head.
"Then what's it like? Tell me Sophia, because I'm dying here!" I could almost scream in frustration.
Each time I'd put my signature down on that document, I got a heartache knowing that I was literally signing the love of my life away!
"I have commitments and I simply cannot wait till tomorrow. This has nothing to do with you."
"I find that very hard to believe." I stepped closer to her. She was looking up at me now.
"You're not a monster."
So why does she act otherwise?
"I'm not?"
"No." She shook her head.
"Then prove it." I slid my hand into her hair, my other hand making a trail across her soft white cheek with my fingers. "One last time before you leave, prove to me that I'm not a monster... and that somehow I could be worthy of your love."
"But h- how?" She said with a shaky voice.
"Like this." I said as I pulled her swiftly to my chest, crushing her body against mine.
Almost instantly her hands flew to my biceps, her slender fingers holding onto them for support. She looked at me startled.
I tilted her head to the side and kissed her, my tongue stabbing deep with precision. She responded right away, trying to match my fervour. It was a good sign. I only hoped that she would be fully open to the desire that we both felt right now.
I continued to kiss her. The electricity coursing through from her was driving me crazy, but soon I got restless. I needed her. But first, I needed to calm her down and be really sweet with her so she doesn't change her mind midway. I could literally die if she gave me blue balls one more time.
I walked her backwards to the edge of the desk, my sturdy frame towering over her. I broke the kiss and Sophia buried her head in the crook of my neck. Her breath had turned into pants. That was overwhelming but it was only just the starter.
I cupped her cheek and lifted her face. She slowly lifted her eyes to look at me, her gaze soft and filled with passion. From the reaction her body offered me and from her expression right now, I knew she wanted this.
I lifted her onto the desk and kissed her neck, making a wet trail towards the exposed skin of her shoulder.
"Adam..." My name was a soft moan as it left her mouth.
I grabbed her chunky sweater from the bottom and pushed it up over her head. She raised her hands, helping me get it out of the way.
For a moment I stopped to look at her, sitting on my desk, in a tiny pink bra, biting her lip nervously.
"You're exquisite." I said as I eyed her full round breasts that I desperately longed to see again. "Let me-"
"No!" She stopped my hand that was reaching for her. "I think I've proved enough."
Fuck. Not again!
"Sophia come on, please..." I begged.
"No, I'm sorry but I must go." She stood up on her feet.
No! There was no way I was letting her leave me like this. Even if I have to fall on my knees and beg her like a vagrant then so be it!
"Please Sophia!" I went down on my two knees in front of her and she gasped. I held onto her small waist possessively as I looked up at her. "Please don't leave me like this, I beg you. Can't you see that I need you. Can't you see that I'm dying for you?"
Her hand flew to her mouth. She didn't know what to say.
I personally never imagined myself crawling on my knees for a woman. But for her, I will break any rules because she was totally worth it.
"Please my love, don't go! Just stay with me tonight and make my dreams come true... just this once! Come on, give me a chance!" I held onto her behind, hugging her tightly as I continued to beg her. This woman will be the death of me.
She ran a hand through my hair. I looked up and then she pulled me up to my feet.
"Sophia, I'm in love with you and I just want to show you-"
"Shhh, it's okay." She put a finger on my lip, silencing me. She tugged at the buttons on my shirt until she undid the whole front, then she slid it down my arms.
I'll take that as a yes.
I pulled the shirt from my arms and it fell on the floor, leaving me shirtless. She stared at my body in approval.
"Touch me Sophia."
Reluctantly, she placed her index finger on my chest, tracing the outline of my pecs down to my abs. Her touch was light as a feather but also electrifying. Her cheeks turned red as she did, I couldn't tell if she way shy, or embarrassed...
"Will you stay with me tonight?" I asked.
She nodded.
My heart leaped in my chest. That was all the permission I needed.
With ruthless determination, I wrapped her arms around my neck for support before I placed mine behind her, lifting her up. Her legs locked at my waist and she held on tight to me as I scurried out of the study, straight into my master bedroom.
I gently placed her on the foot of the massive king sized bed, kicking off my shoes gracelessly before I knelt down in front of her again, this time to remove her boots. One after the other I pulled down the zippers and took them off.
She stood and unzipped her jeans. I pulled them down her slender legs to her ankles and she held on to my shoulders as she stepped out of them. I stood with her, drinking in her magnificent shape. There was no denying that she was absolutely beautiful... with generous curves in all the right areas.
"You're beautiful." I whispered to her as I pulled the straps of her bra down her shoulders.
I reached behind to undo the clasp and her breasts sprung free. My eyes darkened with lust as I gazed at them. I had a memory of them imprinted in my brain already, but it was glad to see them again. They were large and bouncy with perky rose peaks, made to be devoured. Only by me!
I caressed her heavy mounds, grazing my hand over her erect nipple till she convulsed in my arms. I bent forward and lavished them with my tongue. She arched her back and reached for me, wanting more.
"Adam, kiss me." She said earnestly. Her demand heightening my already painful arousal ten times more.
With a low growl, I grabbed her by the waist. My lips descending on hers once again, moving my tongue possessively over hers and she moaned. The sound vibrating through me... all the way down to my shaft.
I gently lowered her unto bed, sliding my body up the length of her. I covered her with my muscled frame and continued to kiss her deeply, loving the delicious feeling of her breast against my chest. The atmosphere was growing tenser with every second that passed.
I released her reluctantly but just as she tried to reached for me I pressed her back into the pillows. She squealed in protest which made me chuckle.
"Hold on my love."
I ran my hand over her belly, down to the lacy panties she still wore. I pulled it down over her mound, down her legs and completely off. The garment was so sexy, I put it in my pocket.
I sucked in a sharp breath as I saw how luscious she looked, lying on my bed naked. I couldn't believe it. This same view had hunted me in my dreams for months, but this time it was real. This was really happening. My heart beat wilding in my chest as I realized the current situation. I was finally about to make love to Sophia.
I backed away to loosen my belt and shed the remaining clothes that hid the rest of my body. Soon I was completely nude, with her. Before the heat of our passion swept me away, I reached into the night stand for some condoms that I had for no apparent reason. Thankfully, they were of good use now.
I could see Sophia already trembling, waiting for me to come back to her. Hastily, I tore a packet open and rolled it on in a matter of seconds before joining her again.
Now on top, our bodies completely entwined with each other, I kissed Sophia with all my pent-up passion until she groaned against my mouth. Tonight was ours... I was determined to give her everything I could.
I positioned myself, moulding her into more intimate contact and she wrapped her legs around my hips. I slipped a hand between the heat of her legs and I was met with moistness.
Wow! She was wet and ready.
The moment was finally here. I looked into her beautiful eyes and kissed her briefly.
"I love you Sophia." I said wholeheartedly. I lowered myself and pressed forward, slowly pushing past the slight resistance. She drew in a breath and closed her eyes.
Fuck, she felt so good.
The sensation speared me, transmitting wildly and out of control throughout my body. She was unbelievably tight around me... so tight that it was almost too good to be true. Could she be a-
Oh no!
"Oh god Sophia, Is this your first time?" I asked panicking. Her eyes were still shut and she looked like she may be in pain. Shit.
I stilled, too shocked for words. It was her first time.
"Fuck, why didn't you tell me?" A wave of guilt hit me.
Everything all made sense now. She is a virgin, that's why she avoided this from happening for so long. Now I felt like a complete douchebag. What I did to her yesterday was indeed a violation... even what I'm doing to her right now!
I love her so much but I don't think I am worthy enough to take her virginity... at least not in this way. I began to pull away but she held me in place, her legs locking tight around me.
"No... Sophia I can't-"
"Adam, I want this." She said with watery eyes.
"But you're-"
"It doesn't matter anymore now, does it?"
She was right. I had already broken through. The deed was already done.
"Please..." She said.
How could I resist?
"Okay. I promise I'll be gentle but If it hurts at any point, please tell me my love." I reassured her and she nodded.
When I sensed she'd relaxed, more gently I slid into her moist heat again and filled her with my length. She released her breath in a soft sigh, my nerves tingling in response to her delectable tightness.
Her nails dug into my shoulders and I kissed her in an attempt to calm her down.
"It's okay baby." I coaxed her, kissing away the tear that had fallen from her eye. "It may hurt now but soon, you'll be addicted."
I let her adjust to my length before I began to move again, rocking gently back and forth, waiting for her to get accustomed to me. It was like exquisite torture.
I thrust slow and deep, rhythmically until I increased the pace. Sophia was gasping now, her little moans of pleasure spurred me on as I drove into her.
"Ohhh... oh... Adam... Please..." She moaned between thrusts.
I was going easy on her but she moved her hips along with mine. I grabbed her waist to halt her movements.
"Sophia, I promised I'll be gentle." I cautioned but she shook her head.
"No... I need more... Please, Mr Wilson." She said.
With that, I couldn't think straight anymore. My only thoughts were plunging deep into the desire of taking her and I drove into her with intensity. She screamed as I increased my virile thrusting, submerging her totally. Her body shook as it took all I had to give. The pleasure rippled throughout mine and my shaft swelled inside her.
"Adam..." She whimpered.
My breath grew tight in my throat at the sound of her. I knew she was c*mming.
She clung to me as she exploded, her walls clamping down on me while her orgasm hit her hard. She screamed my name as I surged into her one final time, then I was following her. I climaxed deep inside of her, my body jerked as I reached the peak of my passion. I expelled a rush of air from my lungs before I collapsed on top of her.
I rolled over quickly not wanting to crush her slender body, also pulling her with me and into my arms. Her head rested on my chest as we both recovered from what I would describe as a very powerful orgasm. Slowly our gasping reduced to normal breathing and we were back from our crescendo. I pulled the covers over our bodies and she cuddled up to me. We lay like that for a few moments.
"That was amazing." I finally said, I kissing her hair and rubbing her shoulders.
She kissed my chest in return.
I kissed her again and she kissed me again.
Soon we were battling for who will give the last kiss, attacking each other with kisses until we both tumbled over and ended up on the ground.
Sophia was laughing unaware of how beautiful she sounded. My heart sunk as I watched her throw her head back. She was an angel.
"God I love you so much!" I finally gave her the last kiss. She giggled and buried her face in my neck, our naked bodies intertwined as we sat on the floor.
"I can't believe this moment is actually happening." I said to her when she finally looked up at me. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she blushed and averted her eyes. "You don't know how many times I've dreamed of it... having you in my arms just like this."
I couldn't help but wonder where our relationship would go from here. Now that we've been together, would she stop being hostile to me? Would she now accept to be my girlfriend? Or would things go back to the way they were before? Oh god I hope not because I wanted Sophia in my life completely. I don't know what that meant but I just hope she felt the same way.
"How are you feeling?"
"I feel good." She said smiling.
"Good? That's all?" I mocked.
"What do you expect me to say?" She whined. Her hands covered her face in embarrassment.
"I'm worried about you love. I need to know if you're hurt or not." I just took her virginity so it was a cause for concern. I heard that it could be a painful experience and sometimes, it might... involve some... blood.
"I'm okay. I promise." She said, her hand stroked my cheek reassuringly.
Okay enough for round two? I wanted to ask but I heard her tummy growl.
"Are you hungry?"
"I think so."
"Me too." I just realized that I'd skipped dinner for the shrink and I hadn't had anything yet. "Let me make us something to eat real quick."
"You cook?" She asked in disbelief.
"You'll be surprised." I said and kissed her before standing up. "Stay here, I'll be right back."
Truth was, I can't cook to save my life!

Sophia Parker
I lay on the massive bed grinning like an idiot while he prepared some food.
I had never felt sheets as comfortable and soft as the ones I laid on right now, plus they smell exactly like him. This was probably his bedroom where he slept every night, and I was currently in it! I don't know why but that made me so excited.
I hadn't even had the time to look around the place properly. Everything was white and black, very simple and minimalistic. It was only the roof that had an exaggerated design at the corners. The whole place was scanty, lacking some furniture and decorations but it still looked expensive.
I wrapped the sheets around me and stood up, wanting to see more of the place. I found a huge walk-in closet where thousands of suits lined up in all black. Wow! What was the point of having so many of the same thing?!
I discovered where the bathroom was and did a quick routine. There was a grand shower and a luxurious jacuzzi in it. Everything about the place was just fancy.
I walked back into the room and spotted a huge shelf at the corner with many drawers. One by one I opened each from the bottom to the top. I felt like it was a bit too nosy of me but I could help myself. I wasn't particularly looking for anything either. I just wanted to see every detail of his room. Most of them were just files and important things anyway but there was something that caught my eye.
It was a picture, of a group of people. I recognized one to be Mr Wilson himself, but he looked a lot younger. He stood between two elderly people which he resembled so much... his parents. There was also a little girl on the side, he was holding her close to him. This was his family.
I knew he definitely had one but I had never met them. What I didn't know was that he had a sister. I was shocked at the very least. Asides from work, how much did I actually know about this man? A man I had just slept with, whom I wasn't even in a relationship with!
Oh God!
I tried to stay positive and not think about the implications of us sleeping together. Mr Wilson was no stranger. I just need to find out more about him. But how would I do that when I've quit and I'm leaving tomorrow? He doesn't even know that I'm leaving and I don't know whether or not I should tell him.
Sophia you idiot! You were just supposed to come here and get your documents signed, not sleep with him and complicate matters!
I should have resisted his charms but how could I after he pleaded like that? It was the most persuasive thing ever. And a part of me had been wanting him terribly for so long that I couldn't just resist. Now the whole thing is a mess. Where would this whole thing go from here after I leave?
I shook my head as I put the picture back in the drawer and closed it. I wouldn't worry about tomorrow and just enjoy myself for now. I had already given him my v-card so I might as well just go all-in and take all the pleasures he was willing to offer.
Speaking of which, he was amazing. What we just did... was probably one of the greatest pleasures I've ever had in my lifetime. It was my first time of feeling that way and I was glad that it was with him.
It hurt just a bit at first, but just like he said, I was addicted... already looking forward to an encore.
The door opened and Mr Wilson walked in with a large white tray, filled with different kinds of... FRUIT! I almost laughed.
"I thought you said you could cook?" I tried to hold myself together, a laugh threatening to erupt.
"Well, I can't. This was the best thing I could do." He said defeatedly.
I honestly didn't mind. It was cute enough that he made an effort. Anything was good right now.
"It's fine." I said. I walked to the bed and sat down. He sat next to me, placing the tray between us. "This looks artsy." He had tried to arrange them in a fancy way.
The tray contained two bowls of different fruits cut up into little cubes. There were pineapples, watermelons, apples, strawberries and some banana slices.
"Let me feed you." He said.
"No way!" I protested.
"Any why not? You've fed me twice before."
"Yes, that's because you were not capable of doing so yourself. I can eat very much by myself thank you."
"No, it's my turn now." He forked a pineapple and brought it to my lips. There was no other cutlery so it was either I ate from him or with my hands. "Open up!"
I glared at him before I finally opened and allowed the little cube in my mouth.
"Do I get to feed you too?"
"You can do whatever you want with me my love."
We both fed the pieces to each other until it was finished and all gone.
"Come here." He grabbed me by my waist after he set the tray down on the nightstand. He lay back on the bed with me on top of him. "Kiss me."
I kissed him with everything I had. My hands rumpled his hair as I hungrily devoured him. He let out a painful grunt as his hands cupped my butt. I ground against him and I could feel him, the only thing separating us was the covers around me and the shorts he now wore.
I peeled of the covers, wanting him to feel more of me. Now naked, I mounted him and kissed him till I had no air left in me. I've never been so wanton before but now that I've been with him, there was no more resistance.
"Oh god Sophia, give me a second." He said roughly before he pulled away to sit at the side of the bed. I caressed his broad shoulders with my hands, rubbing them up and down his delicious body as he removed his shorts and put on protection.
In a matter of seconds, he pulled me over him and I yelped in surprise as I wasn't expecting that. I was now straddling him as he sat on the bed, his crotch in contact with mine. The feeling making me unable to think straight. The only thing on my mind was him being inside of me as soon as possible.
"Hold on to me love." He said and I put my arms around his neck.
Slowly he lifted my hips up and brought me down on his-
"Ohhh god!" I cried out in sweet bliss.
He was inside of me for only a split second before he withdrew and plunged into me again, this time with more strength and precision. He repeated this move and I could feel myself tearing up from the insane amount of ecstasy I was feeling.
I rolled my hips to meet his and soon I got the hang of everything and started riding him.
"Uhhh... Adam... Yes..." I moaned each time he drove into me.
His eyes were fixed on my chest as my breasts bounced from each movement. He watched in fascination as they moved up and down before he made a low groan and captured one in his lips.
"Uhhh... that feels... so good..." I urged him on. He sucked them deep into his mouth making me tremble. His teeth grazed my nipple, the feeling was agonizing and sweet at the same time, I only wanted more.
"Oh Mr Wilson please!" I begged him to take me to that same pleasure point I had been with him earlier.
He guided my hips towards his ferociously and the pressure inside of me started to build, my whole body twitching helplessly from every stroke. Before I knew it, I began to see stars. I was panting and whimpering and moaning and crying and chanting "Yes yes yes" over and over.
"C*m for me Sophia." I faintly heard him say.
I don't know what he meant by that but for a split second I couldn't breathe- or see- then suddenly something inside me caught fire, shooting sparks all through my body before it exploded. I screamed as the feeling washed over me.
"Yes, that's it my love." He said as his own body shook too.
When everything had subsided, he rested his forehead against mine as we both recovered. I was so weak that I had to clutch his shoulders for support.
He laid us down on the bed and tucked our bodies under the covers. This time I was so tired that I just clung to him.
"Sophia." He said.
I looked up to see him deeply staring into my eyes.
"Please don't ever leave me." He pleaded. "I won't be able to live with myself." He kissed me before hugging me close to him.
My heart pounded in my chest. All I could feel was guilt because I was doing the exact thing to him tomorrow. If I tell him, I don't know what his reaction would be like. He may probably convince me to stay or he will go with me. And I can't have any of that. But if I leave without telling him, that would definitely hurt him.
I was torn between two decisions. Anytime I'm faced with a situation like this, I always follow my mind because the heart can be misleading sometimes.
I would tell him, but that would be when I was already long gone...
Chapter 35
Adam Wilson
I woke up expecting Sophia beside me but I was met with emptiness instead.
"Sophia?" I called out her name.
She was probably in the bathroom or somewhere else. I checked the time to see that it was 11am already.
Thankfully, it was a Saturday and I didn't have any engagements so it was okay for me to sleep in late.
Besides... Sophia was a knockout.
Last night was ruthless. Every single moment with her was pure bliss. I am still surprised by the depth of passion she ignited within me. I couldn't wait to share another moment like that with her again.
I needed to find her and say good morning. What is she up to?
I took a deep breath, threw the covers off and went to the bathroom.
"Sophia? My love, are you in there?" I knocked and entered after no response. Unfortunately, it was empty.
That meant she was in the kitchen. She was probably hungry, I am too.
I went into the kitchen and she wasn't there too...
Strange.
I checked the whole apartment and there was no sign of Sophia. Not even in the study. I also noticed her clothes and everything else was gone.
What the hell is going on? Why did she leave?
I was worried for a split second until I remembered she said she had some commitments. I assumed that was why she had to leave early.
But what sort of commitment is it? She could've at least said goodbye.
I'll call her later today. She must be busy and I don't want to bother her.
I went back to the room and cleaned up last night's clothes from the floor. Before I loaded them in the laundry hamper, I checked all pockets to see if there were any valuables that shouldn't go into the washer.
I dipped my hand into the pocket of my pants and brought out... Sophia's underwear!
Whoa!
I totally forgot that I copped it last night! And I can't believe she left without it! She probably looked for it but couldn't find it.
What the hell am I going to do with it now?
I stood and stared at the small piece of illicit fabric for a good ten minutes, unsure about what I was thinking when I took it.
I held it up, inspecting the flimsy material. I felt a knot of desire as I pictured Sophia wearing it last night. Peeling it off of her had been the sexiest thing ever. This was a token of our time together.
I tucked it into the bathroom drawer and decided to take a cold shower. I turned on the knob and the water sprinkled out from the head. I left it running as I brushed my teeth.
I thought about shaving but I wasn't really up for it. Besides, my stubble didn't look so bad.
As I was about to get in the shower, I stopped. I couldn't resist any longer. I reached for Sophia's panties in the drawers and brought it to my nose, inhaling the sweet pungent feminine aroma.
Fuck.
My cock jumped at the scent. She smelled so delicious that I felt like I was going to combust. I needed to taste her and feel her writhe against my lips, but she wasn't here!
"Damn Sophia." I moaned as her scent filled my senses.
With one hand still clutching the panties, I worked myself free from the confines of my shorts with the other. I was rock hard & swollen already and I needed some relief.
I stroked myself without mercy as my thoughts turned towards Sophia. Her soft skin... her sweet lips... her pretty smile... her full breasts... her tight little...
"Ughhh..." I pumped faster, supporting my weight with one arm on the countertop just as my orgasm hit.

Sophia Parker
"I'm so glad you're here darling. It's been so long since the three of us were together as a family." My mum said.
"I'm happy to be here too mama."
We were at the dining table at my home in Virginia, having lunch. Dad was there too, looking healthier than the last time I saw him.
"How was the food Bruce." She asked him.
"It's not too bad." He said with a frown on his face. It was obvious that he didn't like it that much, but he had to eat what the doctors recommended.
"Thank you for the food. It was delicious." I told my mum. Apparently, she had been cooking all morning, preparing for my arrival.
"You're welcome sweetie."
Once I cleared the table and did the dishes, I came back to the living room to sit beside my dad. He wanted to speak to me and I knew it was about something important, perhaps my work. Meanwhile, mum had gone to tend flowers in the garden.
"Come closer my dear." He said to me.
I moved closer to him and hugged him.
"Your mother told me you left your job. However, she didn't give the reason." He looked at me seriously. "Why would you out such a nice job Sophia? You worked with a huge company in New York. The pay was fantastic, and you even managed to get yourself a nice apartment. Never once did you complain about anything, so why would you suddenly quit?"
"Ummm... I guess I- I got bored with it. And I want to try something different." I said, mentally thanking my mum for not mentioning my escapades with Mr Wilson to him.
"Nonsense! If that's the reason you left then you made a huge mistake and I know you're smarter than that Sophia. Now tell me the real reason."
Yes. My dad is a smart man. He could read you like a book. Growing up, it was so difficult to lie to him.
"Dad, my reasons are personal, that's why I didn't tell mum either. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. As long as it's not something absurd... and I hope it wasn't because of a man." He bickered.
My heart stopped for a second and resumed faster than its normal rate.
It was a man. I left because of a man. Does that mean my decision is absurd?
"If your reason for leaving was a sentimental one, then you probably made a mistake. You should never let your emotions get the best of you Sophia and I've always taught you that."
"Yes dad. I know." I said with a forced smile, but inside I was burning because I had directly done contrary to that.
"Speaking about men... I've always warned you to guard your heart and never open up to anyone until you're sure of them. And also protect your honour for marriage, that's what a virtuous woman like you should do." He smiled at me with assurance.
This time I couldn't even put up a fake smile, I could only stare at him remorsefully.
Guilt and shame stung at me because last night, I had lost my so-called honour in the most ruthless way possible. The sex with Mr Wilson had been so passionate... like it was a necessity that we deprived each other of for so long.
And it lasted throughout the night. The way he often woke me up from sleep showed that he had a strong appetite, I thought he was insatiable.
I didn't regret any of it until now, after what my dad said. I've screwed up.
And it was my fault. Even though I wanted to sleep with Mr Wilson, I could have stopped it but the way he pleaded and my desire for him was so strong that I decided to give into the temptation and deal with the consequences later.
"Sophia, what's on your mind?" My dad asked, snapping me back.
"N- Nothing dad. I uh... I really appreciate your advice and I assure you my reasons are not as absurd as you may think."

I put on the performance of my life for the rest of the day. But my heart broke every time my parents smiled at me like I was the perfect little daughter. I felt like I was carrying a burden on my chest, knowing that I'm not as perfect as they think I am.
All I want is to make them proud. I hate keeping dirty secrets but I have to. I can't even imagine what my dad would think of me if they ever find out what I've done.
That evening after we prayed together, my parents went to bed and I was finally alone in my room.
I switched on my phone for the first time since I landed and it blew up immediately. There were so many messages and voice notes from different people, but a large chunk of them was from HIS number.
Oh god! He must be so worried about me!
I dialled him and he picked up on the first ring.
"Sophia! Thank goodness you've finally called! Is everything okay? I've been very worried about you for the whole day! I swear you almost drove me crazy! Why hasn't your number been going through? I thought something might have happened to you- "
"Mr Wilson I- I'm fine." I had to cut him off.
"Are you sure about that?" He sounded really worried.
"Yes I am."
"I'm glad to hear that. But where are you right now?"
"I uh... I- I'm at home." Techincally, Virginia is also my 'home'.
"Since when?"
"Since a while ago."
"Don't lie to me Sophia, please. I was at your apartment 5 minutes ago and you were not there. Where the hell are you?!"He almost screamed.
Oh god! I had promised I would tell him I was leaving but only when I had already left. Now, I don't even have the courage to do so anymore. He is going to freak out!
"You know what... you don't have to tell me because I sense you don't want to. It's okay. Just promise me that you'll come over tonight. I understand that you have things to do but please Sophia, make time for me as well. I need you." He said much more calmly this time.
"Mr Wilson-"
"You don't need to call me that anymore. You no longer work for me and you are now my girlfriend."
Oh!
"Okay Adam. I'm really sorry but I can't see you tonight?" I said remorsefully.
"And why not my love?" He whined. "Have you forgotten all about last night, so soon?"
"No Adam, I haven't forgotten." It was all I thought about on the plane.
"Good, because I need you Sophia, you're a necessity. You're in my blood. Let's meet again tonight in my place. How does that sound?"
"No, Adam. That's not... possible. I'm not even in New York."
There. I finally spilled the beans.
"What? That's not true. What do you mean?" He sounded confused.
"It's true." I sighed. "I'm not around. I went to the airport this morning and I travelled."
There was a deafening silence on the phone for a minute. I could hear my pulse banging in my ears.
"Do I even dare ask where you travelled to?" His voice was shaky. He was probably hurt and I felt completely bad for him.
"No Adam. I don't want you to come looking for me." I can't have him around my parents. My conscience would kill me.
"It seems like you're hiding or running away from me Sophia. Do you regret last night?"
Oh Adam.
"Last night was incredible. But I'm afraid it can't happen again, it shouldn't. And I don't want you to think that I'm running away from you. I already had my flight booked before I saw you at your apartment."
"What?! You mean you'd already planned your trip before you came to see me? So you slept with me and got my hopes up only to leave me the next day?! Was I just a one night stand to you Sophia?" He sounded angry.
"Oh god no! I swear those were not my intentions. I just wanted to get my documents signed and leave, that was all. Unfortunately, I gave into the pressure of sleeping with you."
"Pressure?!"
"Oh my god! That was a bad word. There was no pressure at all. I mean... it was more of desire. I wanted you just as much as you wanted me. None of it is your fault." I said nervously. I'm sure I just screwed this up.
"Ah! I simply can't believe any of this! Do you know how happy I was this morning?! I was glad that you were finally mine!! Only for you to tell me in the evening that you're in a different continent and last night was only just a one-time thing. Why do I have to be so unlucky when it come to you Sophia?"
"Adam please don't get upset. I didn't leave the continent."
I wouldn't be surprised if he hates me for this and falls out of love with me. I just realised now that this whole thing was a stupid idea. I shouldn't have left him.
At the same time, I needed to see my father. I couldn't choose anyone over him. But I should have at least informed Adam that I was leaving. Not doing so was very unfair to him.
"I hope you don't send me to the grave Sophia because I'm dying for you every day. After last night, I don't think I can spend a day without you. I need to see your face at least. Why don't you video call me?"
"You mean right now?" I asked anxiously. Was I ready to see him?
"Yes. I'll call you on facetime in a moment. I need to see your smile."
"Wait! Does that mean you're no longer angry with me?"
"I could never be angry with you my love. Not even if I tried my hardest." He ended the call.
He sounded so sweet. I'm glad he wasn't offended anymore.
I fixed my hair quickly and applied some lip gloss before he called on facetime. I answered the call immediately. After connecting for a while, I saw his handsome face on my screen. He was lying on his bed looking really tired.
"Hey beautiful." He said. I blushed so hard but the room was dark enough for him not to see.
"Hello Adam. You don't know how terrible I feel about the conversation we just had. I didn't mean-"
"Don't worry about it Sophia." He interrupted lightly. "It doesn't matter because I'm not upset. At least I got to see your pretty face. I hope you're comfortable wherever you are."
"Yes I am. Don't worry too much about me." I was touched by the fact that he cares about me.
"Okay. I just needed to see that you were okay. It's late and you should get some sleep." He grinned at me.
"Thanks. You too ." I smiled back.
"Dont forget that I love you so much and you can call me anytime you want. I'll always pick up the phone for you."
"Okay, I will." I said, nodding my head. "Goodnight Adam."
"Goodnight Sophia." He said before he went off.
"I love you too. Much more than you can imagine." I whispered after the call had ended.
Chapter 36
Adam Wilson
"These were not the documents that I asked you for!" I screamed at the replacement.
Thank God he was only temporary. This guy was so dumb, one could argue he was paralyzed from the neck up.
He never seemed to get anything right which was amusing. How did he even manage to snag a degree?
"But sir, you said you needed the files for Alfred Lewis." He argued, never once accepting correction.
"Do these look like Alfred Lewis documents??" I was about to loose my patience with this dimwit.
"Yes that are-"
"Shut the fuck up! They're not! These are for Alfred Levakis!" He mixed it up because the name 'Lewis' also appeared on the documents. That just shows he wasn't paying attention to details.
He looked at me with bared teeth, anger flashing in his eyes.
"But sir-"
"If you're not going to take correction and keep on arguing with me then get the fuck out of my office. I don't need stubborn twats like you who think they know everything."
The idiot eyed me for a few seconds before he left. He was only here on trial and he couldn't even last 3 days!
Working with him was hell. He was extremely defensive and constantly arguing. He refused to acknowledge his wrongs and he became even angrier anytime I called him out for a mistake.
"If you can't take the heat, then leave the kitchen." I murmured to myself before putting the buffon out of my mind forever.
I called Alice and instructed her to get the documents for me. It wasn't her job to do so but there was no one else. I told her to hurry because Mr Lewis would be here any moment.
She wasn't fast enough, seeing as they walked into my office together. Alice quietly set the file on my table and left.
"Adam. It's been a while." He greeted.
"It has indeed. Take a seat." I smiled back. "How are the software security measures turning out."
The last time we did business together, I had provided him with SD-WAN Security.
"They work just fine, but I'm afraid we need more. The company is expanding and there have been some attacks on our police and fire communications systems."
"That's strange. Was it diagnosed?"
"Yes it was. And now we need protection. I need you to hook me up with the latest technology Adam. I cannot afford such risks again. The database I hold is extremely confidential."
"Okay. I'll have my engineers develop a peculiar software for you. It'll take some time though."
I noted it down myself since I just sacked my temp and there was no one else to give orders to.
"Don't worry, you can have all the time you need. So, uh... how is Miss Parker doing?"
My head shot up at the mention of her name.
"What?"
"Sophia, I don't see any sign of her. Where is she?"
I looked through the connecting window of mine and her former office. The blinds were open but the room was empty.
"She's on lunch break." I lied.
I didn't tell him about Sophia's leave because I know he will contact her. He has always had a weird liking towards her. He may even want her to work for him. The thought made me slightly angry.
"When will she be back?"
"Actually, shell be running some errands directly from there. I don't think she'll be back at all."
"Surely she will, she needs to give you a report." He pressed on.
"She'll do that over the phone." I said sternly, hinting that the conversation was over.
"Alright, I just wanted to see her. In case you haven't noticed, she's a beauty."
"Mhm." I nodded in agreement as I wrote a list of instructions down for my engineers. He was right about that, Sophia is beautiful... But! I was highly annoyed at him for talking about her that aspect.
"I've been meaning to ask her out..." He said and my head snapped again "...but I know you'd kill me." He quickly added with a smile.
"Yes. Yes I will." I dared him. My eyes were flashing with anger now but he laughed.
"Don't worry, I know you're interested in her. I'll stay on my lane."
"Brilliant. I'll give my engineers the instructions. You may leave."
"Come on Adam, don't kick me out. It was just a joke."
"I'm not kicking you out, I just remembered that I have an appointment."
There was no one to remind me about my weekly visit to the shrink. It's a miracle I remembered on my own. I was already running late.
"Okay. Let's leave together then."
"Perhaps. I'm stopping by the engineers. You can accompany me and brief them on your complaints about your systems."
***
After my therapy session, I met with Mason, Fred and Hendrix at a lobster place. Previously we only met occasionally. But now, it has become a ritual.
Without them I probably would be morbid and depressed. Asides work, they're a good distraction from the current dilemma at hand.
"How was therapy today?" Mason asked.
"It was stupid." I said with a mouthful of food.
"You're the one who's not cooperating with him. He tries his best to help you. I've seen his notes and reports. You seem detached."
"The whole thing was your idea anyway. You knew very well I didn't want to do this."
"But you need this, especially now with the lack of Sophia in your life." He said and the other guys chuckled.
The mockery has been non-stop. Every time we meet up, there always has to be at least one joke or parody in reference to Sophia.
"Would you guys ever get tired of toasting me?" Huh?" I asked.
"Never." Fred answered. "We love you too much."
"I agree." Hendrix added. "Speaking of Sophia... Uh, has she finally told you where she is?"
I refused to answer which made them all roar with laughter.
"This is a running joke and it needs to stop. I mean it!"
Words couldn't describe how I felt right now. Ashamed. Embarrassed. Stupid. Those were not enough.
"You know we're just pulling your legs Adam. Obviously, we want you to get this girl... but she's something else man." Mason said.
He was right. She is something else.
Both in a good and bad way.
The good was that she's amazing.
Everything feels right with her. Especially our last night together.
Being with her... having her in my arms the way I did... loving her... everything was just right.
I literally could not sleep in my apartment without thinking about her, the way she lay on my bed, her body in between the sheets, the things we did, ugh, it was just to much!
I had to migrate temporarily from 740 Park to one of my other apartments in the city. I couldn't sleep with the memories we made there anymore.
The bad was that she was completely, totally and utterly confusing! Heck, this was the moodiest woman I have ever had to deal with! Most women just say what they want or at least try to get what they want. Sophia on the other hand is either constantly in denial, or wanting you to make a move without any signals.
Not that I'm trying to objectify her as a woman, but sometimes I do wish she came with a manual that I could study, so I can at least know how to make things work!
"I speak to her every now and then and that should be enough for the mean time."
"Why don't you just trace her call?" Hendrix asked like it was the most obvious thing ever.
"I have thought about that but... it's not very ethical. I want this girl to trust me. I've already spied on her once before and she didn't like it."
Back when I discovered about her and Sean's little tryst in his office through my secret surveillance cameras, she wasn't too happy about that... according to him.
For the record, Sean and I are good now. He and Sophia are no longer together and I couldn't be more happier. He apparently broke up with her because he knew of her feelings for me and they weren't going to work out with me in the way.
As long as he doesn't put his hands on her again then we're good. Our friendship has been restored and I also compensated his house damage by sending him some expensive artwork. It's a good gift because Sean loves art. That's why he got pissed at me for destroying some of the pieces at his house.
"Where do you suspect she is though?"
"Probably back home in Virginia or on vacation. I don't know." I said.
"The first one's more likely."
"Perhaps. Until she tells me herself, I'ld have to pretend not to know."
I had a strong gut feeling she was in Virginia. I mean, where else could she be?
"Enough with this talk about Sophia." Mason said. "Let's focus on dinner now."
A huge plate of live main lobster came and I couldn't agree more with him.
****
Sophia Parker
I slowly opened my eyes, waking up from a short nap I took for recovery.
Mr Wilson, on the other hand, was restless and still not content. His hands gripped my waist as he kissed down my neck to my collar bone.
"Mmm... glad you're awake." He said, continuing his ministrations.
We'd had sex like three times now but he still wasn't satisfied.
"Mr Wilson..." I whined, not too happy that he woke me up from sleep. I was exhausted.
"Come on Sophia..." He squeezed my breast and nuzzled my neck, making me moan. "One more time, please."
He pulled me closer, pressing his warm chest gently against my back and spooning me. His body engulfed mine and I felt the hard plane of his muscles. Our legs tangled up as we lay naked underneath the sheets. It was the most amazing feeling, ever.
"Just one?" I asked sleepily.
"Yes love. I promise, no more after this." He said as he turned me around to face him.
But even after all the strength and stamina he used up in the 4th round, he still managed to break his promise and sneak in a 5th.
And he transported me to another world each time....
*
"Sophia! What are you thinking about?" My mum's voice snapped me back to reality.
"Huh?"
"You were just staring intently. What's on your mind?"
Oh, nothing. I was just reliving some of the sex I had with my ex-boss.
"Oh, nothing. It's my friend in New York. Her name's Phoebe. I've mentioned her a few times. I'm just thinking about her."
Sophia you liar!
"Oh, you've mentioned her actually. She works with you doesn't she? At least... she used to."
"Yeah, she 'used to'." We both laughed.
It was a Saturday morning and it was quite early. My mum insisted that I go with her to the pool at a social club nearby, where she usually meets with her friends.. It was way to early for this but it was nice to relax here and get my mind off things.
However, this wasn't working for me today as it only made me concentrate more on things that I shouldn't. I couldn't get my mind off Mr Wilson. I was missing him so much.
"I need to make a quick phone call mum." I excused myself in front of her and her friends.
I went somewhere isolated, where no one could hear me. Then I sat on a lounge chair and called him on FaceTime, needing to see him.
After a few rings, a shirtless Mr Wilson answered the phone, his perfect physique on full display on my phone.
That only made things worse!
For someone I've already been having dirty thoughts about, seeing him like this did more things to me...
"Sophia." He smiled like a little kid. "I wasn't expecting a call from you. What are you doing?"
"I miss you too my love. I just got back from the gym." He said as he sat down on his couch. His body was actually glistening with a bit of sweat.
"And how was your workout?" I asked admiring his body.
He flexed his muscles arrogantly and smiled at me.
"Ok I get it. You can stop being aesthetic now." I frowned at him, but partly enjoyed the view too.
"Why are you wearing a robe? Most importantly, what's underneath?" He wiggled his eyebrows and I just rolled my eyes.
"I'm at the pool. I'm getting a tan actually."
"By yourself?" He asked.
"Uhhhhm... Yes." I said and he narrowed his eyes at me. "Is there a problem with that?"
"Only if you're lying to me."
"Okay, okay, I'm with some friends." My mum's friends actually. "What's it to you?"
"As my 'girlfriend', it's only normal for me to be concerned about you and the people you're with."
He emphasized the word 'girlfriend'.
"Don't worry about me. I'm fine."
"I'll believe that when I finally know where the hell you're hiding."
"I'm not hiding Adam, I'm just taking a break from all the stress from work. For the first time in a long time I don't have to wake up early, I don't have to sleep early, I don't even have to report to anyone, my life is completely about me now. I make the rules."
"Fine. But you can take a break and be the ruler of your life HERE, by MY side, with ME."
"I know but I also have other things to do here and I just can't-"
"Oh for fuck's sake Sophia! What things?! Huh?! You just told me you're relaxing and now you're saying you have things to do! Where the hell are you and why won't you tell me?! I can easily find out in a second and you know that!"
"I know." I said silently, understanding his frustration.
I'm actually impressed that he hadn't done it by now. For someone who deals with security, there's no hiding from him. Besides that, he could've just easily tracked my phone calls.
"Then why don't you trust me?"
"I trust you Adam, I really do. You just have to give me more time, please. I promise I'll finish whatever I have to do here on time, and then I'll come back to you."
"I need more than just a promise Sophia. I need a date. When will you be back?"
I can't give him a date. I plan to stay longer in Virgina and telling him that would upset him. I need to stay here with my family until everything is okay. My dad hasn't fully recovered yet.
"Sophia, come here! We're taking a group photograph and I want you to be in it!" My mum called me from a distance.
"Who is that?" He frowned at me.
"I'm sorry Adam, I have to go." I said hurriedly. "I'll talk to you some other time, be good okay?"
"Wait, Sophia you haven't answered my question-"
"I will some other time but right now, I really have to go." My mum called for me again.
"Okay."
"Bye Adam." I said before I ended the call hoping that he didn't recognize the voice of my mum. Also, I was happy that I avoided his question. I shouldn't have called him, what was the point of that call?
"Sophia we need you here now please!"
"I'll be there in a second!" I said before I stood up.
***
She's definitely in Virginia. I was 100% certain because I heard the voice of her mother who I had spoken to before. I also traced her call which came on from Richmond. So she lied to me all this time that I thought she was alone.
It doesn't matter anyway because now I know where she is and I'm coming for her.
Chapter 37
Sophia Parker
We're having a huge dinner later today at the house and I don't know why. I've been bothering my mum to tell me who the special guest is but she said it's a surprise.
I don't like surprises.
"Mum, just say who the person is! Does dad know already?" I pestered her. We were both in the kitchen making some food.
"Yes, he does."
"Then how come I don't get to know?!"
"Because the surprise is for you!" She smiled and I only rolled my eyes.
I tried to think of who it could possibly be but not many people came to my mind.
It wasn't any of my friends from college because we wouldn't need to prepare a huge dinner and even bake a choc chip pecan pie... which my mum was currently doing. This person must be really special.
Who was special to me?
I thought about it and also, not many made the list.
Well... there was Mr Wilson of course. But there was no way he is the surprise guest. From what I know, my mum isn't really a fan of him anymore. And my dad doesn't even know him. Besides he's in New York, same with some of my other friends that I could consider special.
Speaking of Mr Wilson, I haven't called him since the other day. It's been more than a week now and I really wanted to hear from him. But I didn't want to get in a fight or argue with him so I avoided calling him.
Also, I've been meaning to tell my mum that I was ready to go back to New York. Lily had already started job hunting for me.
My dad is fully healthy now so I can leave him with my mum and begin to work again. That way, I can get some money to pay for the surgery bills.
"Mum, I think my vacation is coming to an end." I hinted.
"Really? So soon?"
"I've been here over a month now, what do you mean so soon?" I laughed.
"Stay a little longer darling. Your dad and I are really enjoying your company."
"Yeah but I'm bored of you guys and very soon I'll be broke as well."
"Why don't you go back to your old job?" She asked.
Huh?
"But I thought-"
"No Sophia, I'm sure all that was just a misunderstanding. Your boss seems nice and you probably mistook his kindness for something else. You have to go back."
Have to??? What in the world was she talking about?
"No. I can't." I said sternly.
What in the world has gotten into her? She was the same person who was looking forward to my resignation, now she wants me to go back?!
"Do whatever you want sweetie. It's your choice. You can take the pie out of the oven, it should be ready by now." She changed the subject so casually.
Ughhh! I couldn't believe her right now.
We were all seated at the dining. My dad at one end and my mum at the other. I sat somewhere in the middle.
*
After we shared the grace, we started to eat.
The table was full with all kinds of foods.
The huge pie we baked sat in the middle of all the food looking decorated and delicious. But that was for dessert.
The main course consisted of some Cajun rice and barbecue chicken burritos. Also some Cajun blackened fish steaks.
"What happened to our guest." I asked after a few minutes of eating.
"It appears he's running late." My dad said.
"'He'? Is he one of your friends?"
If the guest was male then it was probably one of my dad's friend. That only made sense. I don't know why I didn't think of that earlier.
"No Sophia, I told you the surprise is for you." My mum said.
Oh!
"I have a male visitor?"
*dingdong*
The doorbell rang and my mum stood up.
"I'll get it." She smiled.
I suddenly became nervous. What plans have my parents made behind my back?
A list of people rushed through my head as my mum disappeared to get the door.
Could it be Sean? I haven't spoken to him in a while. Or was it one of my exes? Oh god, I hope not.
Not that my exes were my enemies now but both relationships ended on sour notes.
I heard some pleasantries as my mum welcomed whoever it was at the door. My heart was thumping in anticipation. I really hated surprises.
"Sophia, look who came to join us for dinner today." My mum smiled as she came back.
I glanced at the person following behind her. It was...
No!
I gasped.
It was HIM!
HE was here!
His eyes locked on me and immediately, he smiled. I tried my best not to smile back but I couldn't help it.
His eyes locked on me and immediately, he smiled. I tried my best not to smile back but I couldn't help it.
Different emotions flashed through me at that moment. First there was shock, then joy from seeing him again, and finally... nervousness.
His smile made me want to melt into a puddle.
Oh, how I've missed this man so much!
"It's your boss Sophia!" My mum cheered. She was back to being over the top.
"Ex-boss." Mr Wilson cleared his throat, correcting my mum. Never once did he take his eyes off me. I wish I could jump on him and hug him but I had to compose myself in front of my parents.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Anyway, it's nice to have you here with us once again."
"It's a pleasure as well." He said before he turned to my dad. "Mr Parker, its great to finally meet you."
"Great to see you too son."
Son??
My dad stood up and gave him a hug...
Wait what? They hugged?! What the hell was going on?
I looked confused at everyone. When did Mr Wilson and my dad get to know each other so much that they're on hugging terms?
"How's the recovery?"
"I feel fantastic! Thank you for everything you've done."
"No worries."
Everything? What did he do?
He turned to look at me again and my whole body lit up in awareness.
"Hello Sophia." He said.
His voice was low and soft... He didn't even care that my parents were right there. From the way he looked at me, I saw that he missed me. He didn't bother to hide the desire written all over his face and I could tell exactly what was going on in his head.
"Hi." I replied quietly, clenching my -thighs that were now tingling- together underneath the table.
It's been so long since I've seen him. Now that I have, I've totally lost control of my body. He just brings out a fire in me that I can't resist.
"Take a seat young man." My dad encouraged him onto the table. "My wife and daughter have prepared something for you this evening."
"I see. The table looks delicious. Thank you for the hospitality." He said as he took a seat directly opposite of me.
My thighs clenched again involuntarily at his closeness. He was now in front of me and as always, he was looking right at me.
I blushed and looked away and I swear I heard him stifle a laugh.
He knows what he's doing to me, and he's doing it on purpose.
"Sophia darling, why are you so shy?" My mum just had to ask and embarrass me further.
"I'm not. I just don't understand what's going on. Why are you here?" I asked him directly and his brows furrowed.
"Your parents invited me over, didn't they tell you I was coming?"
"No, they didn't. This is a surprise."
"Well, you don't look happy to see me." He frowned.
Of course I am happy to see you!
"Yes Sophia, why is that?" My mum added.
"Well, for starters you should have told me, mum. There's no need to keep it a secret. Secondly, how do you two know each other?" I pointed between him and my dad.
"Sophia calm down." My dad rationed even though I wasn't really upset. "I invited him here because I wanted to meet him. I thought you would be at least welcoming towards him but I guess not. I hope this doesn't have anything to do with your resignation. Are you two on bad terms?"
"Not at all sir. In fact, it's the exact opposite of that." Mr Wilson said. "We reached a... mutual agreement after her resignation. I assure you that your daughter and I are not enemies. Isn't that right Sophia?"
By 'mutual agreement', I knew he was referring to all the hot sex we'd had before I left New York but I refused to pay attention to him.
"We're not on bad terms dad. I just don't see why you would invite him over all the way from New York just to come have dinner with us. I mean, you barely know him. Why wasn't I informed about this?" I tried to reason.
"There's something we haven't told you Sophia. Recently, this gentleman here has helped us."
"Gentleman?" I mocked.
"I do not like your attitude on this table young lady. Treat our guest with a little respect. He was once your boss." My dad said sternly.
"I'm sorry." I said as I picked up my fork and continued eating, trying my best to ignore Mr Wilson's burning gaze on every cell on my body.
"As I was saying, this gentleman here has been extremely generous to our family. He offered you your first graduate job and kept you employed for two years, before you decided to throw everything all away."
Only if he knew the real reason why I threw everything away. If my parents found out that Mr Wilson and I had been together, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be as inclined to him as they currently are. Right now, it seems like they love him.
"Despite your actions, Adam here still decided to help us. He has cleared the hospital fees and we are no longer indebted." My dad said.
"Huh?!" My head snapped up in shock.
He did what?!
"You heard me. He contacted your mum and I before he did it and I accepted his benevolence. He only did it because he was worried about you. We all knew that you couldn't pay the debt on time, and I'm sure you knew too."
Yes, I definitely knew. I already had some plans of my own to take a loan when I get back to New York.
"Sweetie, we didn't tell you because we didn't want you to throw any tantrums or refuse." My mum said, holding my hand supportively.
"I- I don't k- know what to say." I stuttered. Part of me was grateful but another part of me who wanted to be responsible and independent protested at the idea. "I must pay you back."
"No." Mr Wilson shook his head. "It's fine Sophia. You don't owe me anything." He smiled.
"That's why I invited him over. I wanted to personally meet with him and thank him for his actions." My dad said.
Everything all made sense now.
"I'm sorry if I was rude earlier on. I didn't know you did this. I am forever grateful for your charity." I said to Mr Wilson.
"It's okay lo- Sophia."
Did he almost call me 'love'?
"Now that all that's out of the way, let's enjoy dinner. We have Cajun and all sorts on the table. Feel free to help yourself Adam. Sophia made most of the food." My mum said.
"Did she? I'd certainly love to have a taste." He smiled and winked at me.
Not only did my thighs clench once again, so did my heart, and a persistent throbbing between my legs began.
All through dinner he kept his eyes peeled on me. Sometimes he would occasionally glance at my parents to respond to questions but his gaze was majorly on me. I hated it but I also loved it at the same time.
"Have some pie for dessert." My mum offered him and he accepted a slice. "So, is there someone who is currently filling up Sophia's old position at the office?"
"Uh, we are currently hiring at the moment. Previously I had a few temps come in every now and then but none of them could keep up with the job so I decided to go through a proper recruitment process. There's no one there yet."
"I'm sure the whole office misses Sophia a lot."
"We all do. But there's nothing we can do about it, that's just the way things have to be from now on."
"Well... Sophia could-"
"Mum, please." I stopped her before she could say any further. I knew she was going to make the same silly comment she made earlier about me going back to work for him.
"Your mum is right, I mean... that's if she was implying what I think. You could come back and work for me Sophia, we'd love to have you again with us. You're welcome at any time."
"Thanks. but not thanks." I fake smiled.
He raised his brow in amusement.
"That was so rude!" My mum gasped.
"Sophia, you're being over the top." My dad warned.
"But I'm just saying the truth dad."
"You know what I mean, enough with the attitude."
*
Dinner became awkward and we all ate in silence. The mood was completely destroyed. I felt bad for ruining everything even though it wasn't my intention so I stayed quiet most of the time.
Mr Wilson and my dad went into deep conversations about everything, from business to politics, to sports, to cars... typical 'men talk'.
I helped my mum clean up because I was a bit embarrassed and I didn't want to be around Mr Wilson. I avoided him as much as possible.
I was in my room most of the time and when I finally came downstairs to get a glass of water, my dad called me from the living room.
"Sophia, come in here for a second."
I went into the living room to see everyone there. They had been talking for hours while I hid myself away.
"We just wanted to let you know that Adam will be spending the night here with us."
"What?" I croaked.
"Please prepare the guest room for him." My dad ignored my outburst.
I didn't know what to say. I was dumbfounded. I looked at 'him' and I saw him stifling a smile.
"And who's idea was this?" I glared at him.
"It wasn't my idea if that's what you think. Your parents requested that I stay here, I already booked a hotel beforehand."
Why is he doing this?
"Sophia, If you have a problem with me staying here then I won't. It's not a big deal." He said.
"It doesn't matter whether or not she has a problem with it. This is my house and you are welcome to stay. Now Sophia, go and prepare the guest room." My dad said. I didn't want to be rude to him so I walked away.
I couldn't take that mans nerve anymore. Showing up unexpectedly at first, and now sleeping here?!
I don't know what his intentions are but I know they're no good.
I could swear he was doing all this on purpose and my parents were falling for it, just because he did us a huge favour. He's acting all good and innocent in front of them but I know he's really up to something.
I tidied up the guest room for him. I changed the sheets, put some fresh towels, washed the bathroom and cleaned the floors. Everything was perfect and spotless before I went back into the living room.
"The guest room is set." I announced.
"Thank you Sophia. Would you like to retire to your room now?" My dad asked him.
"I'ld stay a little longer if you don't mind. Thank you Sophia." He said.
"No problem."
"Why don't you stay with us for a bit?" He asked, looking at me intensely. I felt self-conscious under his gaze again, as always.
"No thanks, I'm tired and I was going to bed anyway." I made an excuse and fake yawned.
"Goodnight my darling." My mum said.
"Goodnight." I said before I turned and went up the stairs.
When I got to my room, I quickly opened my phone and called Lily. I needed to update her on what just happened. I had texted her before, saying that Mr Wilson was in my house.
"Hey, what's up?" She said immediately after answering my call.
"Guess what, he's staying over!"
"What?! You mean, he's sleeping at your's?! Your parents let him?!" She gasped.
"Yeah, it was their idea."
"Are you sure? Maybe he might have influenced it."
"I wouldn't be surprised if he did." He's been acting like a saint all evening, and my parents actually think he's one.
"To be honest Sophia, I think he's trying to get closer to you and being in your house is his cue. It's kind of sweet." She laughed.
"Lily! It's not sweet! My parents are here! Nothing can happen between us if they're here! I told you what my parents are like!"
"And what if they weren't there?"
"Lily, I can't! I feel guilty as hell for what has happened already. If my parents found out about us they won't be happy. I can't let that happen again."
Lily already knew that I'd been with Mr Wilson once because I told her.
"Sophia you should've never let it happen in the first place if you knew it would lead to this. He's obviously going to want it to happen again because he's a man, and remember that he's in love with you. Don't expect him to think it's a one-time thing. You gave him your consent once, he won't stop now."
She's right. I brought this upon myself.
That day, I should have just waited for my documents before booking my flight. That way, I would've had time to show up at his office on Monday rather than going to his apartment at night. I walked into the lions den and we ended up sleeping together.
What was I thinking?!
"So what do you suggest I do?" I asked her.
"You have to be with him, if not you'll tear him apart. Your parents might not approve when they find out about the two of you, but you know you love him and you have to do what's best for you."
"Honestly, I really want to be with him. I've been hiding away because I was scared of the kind of person he is and what my parents will think. But you're right. I shouldn't be scared."
Beneath all my anger and hostility towards Mr Wilson, I truly love him.
"So are you going to tell them?"
"Eventually, yes."
Im going to tell them how I didn't meet their expectations of a perfect little daughter and how I began a relationship with a man I'm not married to. The scariest part was telling them that we've been together but it had to be done.
I have to take the leap.
Chapter 38
Adam Wilson
I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on my door.
"Who is it?" I managed to get out under my raspy morning voice.
"It's me." I heard Sophia say meekly from the other side and I quickly straightened up.
I was awake and fully alert at the sound of her voice.
"Come in." I said. I quickly ran my hand across my face and in my hair, trying to look normal.
The door opened slightly and Sophia peeked inside the room.
"Uhm, good morning." She said.
"Good morning Sophia." I smiled at her.
She looked at me for a long time before she cleared her throat. Her cheeks turned rose, it was the cutest thing ever.
"We're having breakfast in a few minutes and we don't want you to miss out." She said.
I only then became aware of the smell of bacon and sausages. My stomach growled in response.
"Thank you, I'll be right there."
"Okay." She said and closed the door immediately.
Wow.
We've only interacted a little since I've been in her house. All the time in the presence of her parents. This was the first time it was just us, but it was only brief. She's really an expert at avoiding me, even when we're under the same roof.
There are so many things I want to say to her, many things we need to talk about. It's killing me but I need to wait for the right moment.
I got up, did a quick routine in the bathroom and dressed up.
When I got to the table everyone had started with their plate.
"Good morning Adam!" "Sleep well?" Her parents greeted me excitedly. Sophia on the other hand stayed silent and didn't even look up, which made me slightly upset.
Why won't she even look at me?!
"Good morning. I slept like a baby." I said, trying to mask my feelings.
Apparently, I'm always doing something wrong to her. But what could I possibly have done to her now?
Was me being here a burden to her?
"We have a table-full of food just like yesterday, all thanks to Sophia. She's responsible for all this. Have a seat!" Her mum encouraged.
"Thank you once again Sophia. I feel spoiled." I joked before I took a seat right next to her on the table.
They laughed, except her. She froze, even stopped chewing, all because I sat beside her. She moved slightly away from me so we weren't too close. She tried to be discreet but I noticed her movement.
Fuck, that just pissed me off. I seriously wanted to grab her, throw her on my lap and confront her on why she's avoiding the hell out of me! And if the reason did not make sense then I might just lose control and fuck...
"Would you like to see the city today Adam?" Her dad asked, diverting my mind back.
"Of course, why not." I agreed.
"Brilliant, then I can get to show you the security and armoured car company we discussed earlier."
I was highly interested in that later but I was more interested in Sophia right now.
"Will Sophia be coming with us?" I hoped.
"She has plans today so she can't join us."
"Okay. What are your plans for today?" I asked her directly. I desperately wanted to talk to her, even if it was just small conversations.
"I'm going to run some errands. Excuse me." She pushed her chair back, got up and left.
Standard.
"Don't worry, you're gonna love the city." Her dad said.
*
It was a pretty good city, the outing was favourable and I managed to snag Brink's company as a client.
The only bad thing was that we spent the whole day and we got back home so late that I didn't get time to spend with Sophia.
I had no idea what she did all day. I didn't get the chance to see her again after she left the dining so abruptly this morning.
It was currently 11pm and they were certainly asleep.
"Go ahead and rest, tomorrow's another day." Bruce said. Her dad and I had gotten so close that we were on first name basis now.
"What about Sophia? Is she asleep or..."
"Don't worry about her. She's definitely gone to bed. She sleeps early."
"Oh, okay." I hid my disappointment.
"You're always concerned about my daughter." He suspected.
"Of course, I just want to know if she's okay." I smiled.
"Okay..."
"See you tomorrow Bruce, have a good night!"
"You too. Later Adam." He went up the stairs.
My room was on the ground floor so I didn't have to go up the stairs.
Ugh! Things were moving way too slow for my liking. I needed to speak to this woman or I might lose my head. I'll be back in New York in less than 48 hours and I haven't had the chance to sort things out.
I went to my room and took off my clothes before collapsing on the bed. I tried to sleep but I couldn't. I was restless, thinking about her and what I could've possibly done that made her switch up on me.
No ideas came to mind.
I knew I wasn't going to sleep easy this night so I went to the kitchen to get something to drink.
****
Sophia Parker
I turned for the 100th time on my bed that night. I couldn't get any sleep knowing that he was right underneath me.
I heard them both come in about an hour ago and my dad went to his room.
This was the only alone time I could have with him after being out all day, but it was too late! It would be best for us to talk during the day.
I rolled myself up in my duvet and tried to catch some sleep but it didn't work. Instead I was thinking about whether or not he would be asleep by now.
Why do I even care about that?
I forced my eyes closed but nothing worked so I decided to drink something from the kitchen downstairs.
I got up from the bed and pulled down my nightdress. It was short and somewhat inappropriate so I wore the matching robe above it and tied the knot securely.
I chucked my feet into my furry flip flops then came out of my room.
Once I reached the top of the stairs, I saw that the lights downstairs were still on which meant someone was awake.
I tiptoed down each step to check, luckily our stairs don't creak because it's not wooden. I got to the bottom and hid behind the wall before I peeped into the kitchen.
He was there.
What is he still doing awake?
He stood by the sink shirtless, wearing just trousers. I think he was making something to drink. I couldn't see because he had his back turned to me.
I watch his body move as he stirred whatever it was that he was drinking. He lifted it to his lips and swallowed it with one go. His back muscles flexed so beautifully, my own body heated up from watching him.
He rinsed the cup before putting it back. Then he set his hands on the counter and did nothing. I watched him for a few seconds before feeling like a spy.
This is definitely creepy and I should go back upstairs.
But I couldn't bring myself to turn around. He was so intriguing.
"Are you gonna stand there all night Sophia?" He asked and I froze.
Busted.
I wish the ground could swallow me right now. I was so mortified.
How did he see me when he didn't even look back?
"How did you notice me?" I asked.
"Your shadow's right there." He pointed at it.
So stupid! I was so busy looking at him that I hadn't noticed it myself. There was no point in hiding anymore so I entered the kitchen.
"Your dad said you were asleep. Why are you up?" He asked.
"Why are YOU up?" I countered.
"I can't sleep."
"Mmm, me too." I said and went to the fridge. I poured myself a cold glass of water and drank it. It made me feel a lot better.
I looked at Mr Wilson briefly and saw him frowning at me with his arms crossed.
I carried on with what I was doing before I was grabbed so suddenly that I almost screamed.
"Hey!" The cup fell out of my hand and it broke.
He gripped my arms and shook me lightly.
"Do you want to kill me?!" He said angrily.
What on earth is he talking about?
"What is wrong with you?! Why would you say I want to kill you? Have you lost your mind?!"
Seriously! What have I done to make him think that I want to 'kill' him?
He didn't listen to me, instead he dragged me by my arm.
"What are you doing?! Let go of me!" My arm stung lightly from his assault.
He pulled me all the way into the guest room before he finally let me go and slammed the door shut. I was terrified. The look on his face was deadly, like a hunter about to pounce on his prey.
"I will not let you drive me crazy. Now get on the bed."
"No!" I said even though my heart slammed into my throat in anticipation.
I'm so used to rejecting this man but deep down I really want him. My body wished to respond to his command so badly and If I didn't have a brain, I would've jumped on the bed instantly.
"Stop your foolish hard-to-get games and get on the fucking bed." He warned.
"How dare you speak to me like that?!" I feigned anger meanwhile, I was excited as hell.
Without warning, he picked me up and tossed me onto the bed. I shrieked. He was on top of me in the next second and he pinned my hands above my head.
"This is what you want, isn't it? This is the real reason why you're here!"
"Yes Sophia. You're the number one reason why I'm here." He admitted. "And you can't deny that you don't want me to be here too. You couldn't sleep because of me. Isn't that why you were spying?"
"I wasn't spying!"
"Look, I've had enough of your silly games. I have been celibate for way too long and I've not been able to be with other women since you Sophia. So stop torturing me, damn it!"
"Adam-" I gasped.
He didn't give me a chance to reply before his hands roamed my body. He loosened the knot of my robe and opened it.
"I'm not going to beg this time. I'm just going to take what I want." He said.
"Mr Wilson my parents are upstairs." I warned but he didn't listen.
His eyes held so much willpower and there was nothing that could stop him. 'This' was going to happen, whether I put up a fight or not.
I was tired of holding back what I really felt so I laid back as he kissed me on the lips possessively, all the way down to my neck. He held onto my waist and brought me closer to him. My legs wrapped around him and I held onto his shoulders.
"You're the sweetest thing ever Sophia. I would give my next breath just to know how delicious you taste. And I don't care where we are." He said and before I knew it, he switched us over. He now sat on the bed while I straddled him, holding on to him closely.
He pulled the robe down my shoulders and lifted my nightdress from the bottom, over my head. I hadn't worn any undergarments so I was completely nude to him. He bit his lip and looked his fill.
I felt butterflies in my tummy. His eyes scrutinized my body and he made an appreciative growl. My nipples grew hard and pebbled under his gaze. They ached to be touched by him.
"Ugh! Such wonderful tits." He murmured then he took my breast in his hands and clasped his mouth on one, making me go crazy.
"Uhhh..." I moaned and squirmed restlessly as he sucked on one while he kneaded the other. My whole body trembled with desire.
I thought I might lose it simply from his mouth on my nipples. Mr Wilson spent so much time there, sucking, licking, biting, pinching, until I was soaked between my thighs and I could barely form a coherent thought.
But he flipped us over again unexpectedly.
He parted my legs and settled in between them. At this point my heart was pounding in my chest because I knew what was coming next.
Occasionally, I read magazines and heard people talk about different ways to have sex. One of them I found absolutely outrageous was 'oral sex'. It was something I never thought I would engage myself in. The thought of having a man relish between my legs with his tongue was scary.
So I was extremely nervous when Mr Wilson lowered his face and got closer to me. I closed my legs suddenly, trapping his head between them. He stopped and looked up at me.
"Don't worry Sophia, don't be shy. You're beautiful."
I shook my head. "Adam I-"
"Shhh, I know you've never done this before but it's okay. Just relax, I promise I won't hurt you."
"I'm not worried about you hurting me." I said.
"Good because I won't." He spread my legs again and grabbed my ass. My lips went dry. "I need to taste you now."
Blood roared through my head as his tongue darted out and slid through me in one swift motion. I cried out and my head sank hard into the pillow cushioning my head.
"Oh... Adam... oh!" I sang his name as he licked and sucked me gently down there. I felt a certain pressure build inside of me. I held onto his shoulders to steady myself.
What is this man doing to me?
His groans vibrated through me as he performed his rhythmic suctions. I was seeing many stars in different colors. He didn't stop and I whimpered helplessly as he plundered and lavished me with every stroke of his tongue.
My toes curled and my vision dimmed as I trembled all over. My body exploded and I felt myself release something. It always happens towards the end of sex with Mr Wilson. Just when he says something like 'Cum for me'.
After a wave of pleasure had washed over me, he stayed there lapping at my release.
I wanted to protest but I was so weak. He looked up at me, his mouth covered with my essence.
"So delicious Sophia." He licked his lips and smiled at me. I turned red. He looked so happy, like it was his pleasure doing that.
"Now I need you to cum again, this time on my cock."
"What does that mean? What is cum?" I asked for the first time. He always used that word.
"What you just did." He laughed at me. "You just had an orgasm."
"Oh okay."
"You're the cutest thing ever." He kissed my forehead before he reached for the nightstand and grabbed his wallet. He searched it for something. "Shit."
"What happened?" I asked.
"I don't have a condom." He said.
"Oh..."
I tried to mentally calculate my monthly cycle and see if I was fertile but I couldn't even remember today's date! I was so tired from that 'orgasm'.
"We could risk it and then you can take the morning pill afterwards." He suggested.
"Uhm... okay." I wasn't sure but it appears he knows a lot about sex so I trust him.
"Are you sure baby?" He asked as he ran his tongue down my neck to the valley between my breasts.
"Ohhh... yes please I'm sure." I moaned.
He pulled away suddenly and a cry escaped my throat.
"Have patience, love." He laughed at me.
He discarded his shorts hastily and lowered himself over me again. I welcomed the cruel ravishment of his mouth. I kissed him back deeply and he positioned himself at my entrance. He grabbed my hips and with one push, he was inside.
I gasped at the sudden pleasure that overwhelmed me and my nails dug into his back. The muscles of his hard body clenched all over.
"Fuck Sophia." He groaned. He closed his eyes for a second, as if to savor the moment before he looked at me. "This is what I've been dying for."
Me too.
I sobbed his name while he looked me in the eyes and began thrusting rhythmically into me.
I anticipated every moment he withdrew and watched as his abs tightened every time before he plunged into me. It was euphoric.
It was so much better without a condom. I could feel his raw heat as he rammed my walls.
I clenched around him, loving the sweet feeling of him inside of me, filling me up.
"Shit Sophia don't do that or I won't last long." He grunted.
He continued to work his way into me till I couldn't take it anymore. I cried out helplessly as I had my second orgasm.
"That's it baby." He said as he nipped and sucked down my throat.
"Adam..." I whispered his name softly since it was the only comprehensive word my brain could form at the moment. My head was spinning wildly.
"One more time love." He said.
"Huh? W- what are you-"
A high-pitched whimper escaped my throat as his fingers found their way between my legs and he stroked lightly.
"Oh Adam pleaseee..." I squeezed the arm he used to touch me encouragingly. I could feel a third orgasm building up within me. He, on the other hand was still rock hard and hadn't had any release yet.
He pulled me up and on top of him as he knelt on the bed. I looked down at him and cupped his face in my hands. The position was so sexy.
"Tell me you missed this." He said looking up at me with his blue eyes.
I bit my lip and nodded truthfully. "I missed you." I confessed.
"Oh my love." He closed his eyes happily and kissed my shoulder.
Love. That was all I felt for this man. I burnt from head to toe with it... although I hadn't admitted it yet.
He cupped my ass, lifted me up and brought me down, entering me in one swift motion.
I bit my lip so hard that I could almost taste blood.
His strong hands held me as he guided our hips together rapidly. My eyes nearly rolled to the back of my head as I bounced on him. This was too much bliss.
"Yes! Oh god yes!" I began to scream uncontrollably.
"Shhh Sophia. They may hear us." He acknowledged my parents for the first time.
Apart from the sound of our thighs slapping together, the bed creaking, his occasional grunts of pleasure and my constant whimpering, we stayed silent.
I rode him till I couldn't bear it anymore. I could also feel him coming apart and I knew he was very close.
I writhed as my third orgasm ran through me like a jolt of electricity. My body tensed and my legs shook violently.
At the same time, he made a guttural noise and I felt his warm release inside of me for the first time. When he pulled out, I slummed on his shoulders, completely spent.
I felt some of his release trickle down my thighs but he stopped the flow by brushing his thumb between my legs. I squealed when I felt a slight pinch on my folds.
I could hear laughter coming from him because of the silly little noise I made. I probably sounded like a mouse.
"What? I was trying to be quiet." I said.
"You're so cute." He enveloped me in his arms. "I love you so much."
I hugged him back with every ounce of strength I had left. I loved him back and it was high time I said it.
"Adam, I-"
I couldn't complete my sentence because the door clicked open.
We both looked towards its direction and we saw my father. He held a murderous look laced with anger, wrath, and disappointment.
We froze in our embrace because it hid our bodies partially.
"Dad!" I choked.
"Get- away- from my daughter."
