The sound of his beating heart next to her and his calm breath while he slept. Slowly, Andriana raised her head from his chest, looking at his sleeping face.
Even with messy hair and a pale face ,he still looking breathtaking her hand slid slowly pushing his hair back to see his face better. . Her eyes moved to his lips, her face blushed as moments from last night filled her mind.
Karlye's eyes fluttered open as a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Do I look handsome ?" his deep morning voice asked.
She blinked , nodding back at him.
"I can't stop looking at you " she said.
Andriana frozen feeling something poke her under the sheets. She blinked.
"Don't look at me, it's all your fault ", he pulled her closer, kissing her neck.
"Ah, I didn't do anything ", she bit her lips, holding back her moans as his hand held one of her breasts.
"Should I stop ?" he breathed gazing down at her.
"No, don't stop " she muttered.
Karlye smirked, kissing her lips, and Andriana felt him slip into her with ease, sending shivers down her spine.
...
When she opened her eyes again, Karlye wasn't in bed with her.
The open windows and light breeze moving the curtains showed how late it was in the day.
She looked around for her phone. Karlye had placed it on the nightstand. Checking the time, it was midday.
She was thirsty, grabbing his shirt that was lying on the floor, she got dressed and quietly left the room, heading downstairs. Her body was sore and her legs wobbly, but she went on.
She got to the kitchen and got some water, gulping it down. She was getting another when she heard Karlye's voice; he was talking to someone as they came out of his study.
Quietly, she came out of the kitchen, peeping out to see who it was.
Karlye noticed her and smiled, gesturing for her to come out. She blinked shaking her head.
She had been focused on quenching her thirst to mind her clothes, but now she was embarrassed.
He moved, grabbed her hand, and led her out.
"What is going on?"
Andriana looked up to see who he had been talking to. She was a beautiful lady with white, clear skin, red lips and long, dark lashes. Her dark cold eyes stared back at her.
"I asked what was going on and who the hell she was?" the stranger yelled.
Karlye's hold on Andriana's hand tightened.
"I told you already I'm seeing someone, it's her ", he said.
"Huh..this is no time to be joking with me, Lye" she frowned.
"And why would I be doing that. I had already made it clear I was never interested in you. She is the woman I'm in love with," he stated.
Andriana felt her face blush the moment he said he was in love with her.
"You think mom or dad will accept this ...I can't accept it either " she yelled.
"My parents will respect my decision, and as for you, Florence, I suggest you finally stop this and find someone else to marry ".
Florence turned to Andriana. .
"Do you think he loves you , those are all lies to keep you glued to him. And when he finally gets tired of you he will come back to me, he always does "
Andriana glanced at Karlye then back at Florence.
"I think you should leave " she said.
Karlye smiled proudly as Florence's pale skin turned colour filling with anger.
"You heard her " he added.
Florence glared back at them both then turned and left.
Karlye pulled her in filling her face with kisses.
She giggled trying to push him away.
"You did well," he said.
"I did ?"
"Mm, I'm proud of you ", she wondered what he was so happy about, but just him saying that he was proud of her made Andriana smile.
His hands pushed back his shirt gripping her behind in his palms as he kissed her again.
She felt him lift her from the floor, "Let's go back upstairs ", he said.
.....
"She must still be asleep, put the phone down and come eat something "David said.
Mira ignored him, trying Andriana's number again, but still got no answer.
David came closer taking the phone away.
"Come on ", he said, raising her from bed.
She had just woken up, and he placed the meal he had prepared for her.
"Have some, you need to eat something " he said.
She didn't move so he took some and brought it to her mouth.
"Please ..." he muttered.
Mira slowly opened her mouth and he fed her. Quietly, he went on to feed her the whole meal.
"I am sorry about lying to you for so long ...I just didn't want you to see me like those rich playboys " he said.
"That would have been for me to decide; you not telling me about your real identity was like you thought I was shallow or I wanted you for your money", she let out.
"I never thought of you like that... It's just that..." he sighed, taking her hand. "Mira, please, can you forgive me? I don't want to give you any excuses ...I was wrong ".
"Let me think about it ", she said, pulling away her hand.
She got out of bed, taking off her clothes, David was silent, watching her.
Mira now fully naked, walked to the bathroom.
David gulped, he knew what she was doing, teasing him with her body, fully knowing he couldn't touch her, was driving him crazy.
He got up, taking the tray back into the kitchen.
