6 REJECTED PLEASURE LUKE’S POV As I stepped outside, I was taken aback when I saw Harriet. Her appearance had transformed from her sparkling red dress to a fitted black bodycon dress, teasingly displaying her cleavage. Her beauty was mesmerizing, her face expertly made up, and her red lipstick added to her allure. In that moment, she looked like an angel standing before me. “Hey, baby,” she said, walking towards me and planting a kiss on my lips. Her scent was intoxicating, and I couldn’t help but want to be close to her all night. “How are you?” She asked, fully aware of what had transpired at the bar. I wanted to be angry with her, but her irresistible looks made me forget my anger. “Don’t I look beautiful?” She twirled around, beaming. I couldn’t resist any longer and pulled her close to me. We both grinned at each other as she trailed her nails down my face, neck, and chest. I grabbed her waist, and she pressed her body against mine, causing our breaths to mingle. I leaned in closer, and she reciprocated, driving me wild. I spanked her butt, and her smile grew wider. But we couldn’t continue this outside. “Are you coming in?” I whispered. “Only if you want me to,” she purred, running her finger over my chest. “What if I don’t?” I teased. Suddenly, she used her hips to grind against mine, a mischievous glint in her eyes. I pulled her hair and kissed her fiercely. We were now standing at the doorway of my house, lost in our passionate embrace. Then she whispered in my ear, “Let’s go inside so I can fulfill your desires.” I wasted no time in leading her inside. I could hear the click of her heels as she made her way up to my bedroom. I followed behind, admiring her curves as she walked. Once we were in the room, she laid on the bed and slipped off her pants, still leaving her dress on. I quickly discarded my clothes, leaving me completely naked. I climbed cu top of her, and she moaned softly. I spread her legs wide and began to move in and out of her, rocking her with every thrust. “Oh Lukeeeeee!” She screamed my name as I continued to pound her. She held on to me tightly, digging her nails into my back, and I could feel her screams vibrating through my body. But then my phone started ringing, breaking the intense moment. It reminded me of Ariel, and I suddenly felt guilty. What was happening between Harriet and me was no longer pleasurable, so I pulled out. Harriet looked at me, confused, with her legs still in the air. “What’s wrong, baby?” “Just put your clothes back on, okay?” I quickly got dressed. “But we were just getting started; why did you stop?” She asked, disappointment evident in her voice. “I’m just not in the mood anymore,” I told her bluntly, and I walked out of the room, taking my phone with me. I stood at the top of the stairs, calling Ariel to see if she would answer, but she still wasn’t reachable. Memories of our time together flooded my mind, and I couldn’t help but feel angry at myself for how I had treated her. But I shook my head and snapped back to reality. She deserved everything I did to her. Harriet appeared, frowning at me as she made her way down the stairs. I avoided her gaze and focused on my phone. She stood there for a moment, then finally turned to leave. “Do you want me to drive you home?” I asked, feigning concern. “No, I’ll be fine,” she replied curtly, and she left the house. I placed my hands on my waist and let out a deep sigh. What was wrong with me? Harriet was here, looking gorgeous and ready to please me, and I rejected her. I needed to get my act together and start coming back to my senses. **** FIVE YEARS LATER It had been a good five years when I had to adapt to the changes in my life. Well, there were no significant changes; the only person who left my life was Ariel. And we had no knowledge if she was still alive or dead. We searched for her in the past few years, but we couldn’t find her. She had left our lives for good, and it wouldn’t be right to even think about her. So many people now know about my love story with Harriet. But my grandfather still didn’t want the two of us to be together, so our relationship was kind of a secret, and when we noticed that useless rumors were about to spread, we would put end to such news as soon as possible. up Now that the day had gotten dark, the Sun House was filled with different people–people who were filthy rich. Billionaires and many other individuals who were notable in the country. It was my grandfather’s birthday, and we had planned to make this occasion a special one as he was turning eighty. Although the man was getting old, he was still lively and vibrant in the things he did, able to relate to everybody, and they all loved him so much. He was a big name in New Haven. Most people who showed up at the party were businessmen and businesswomen. All owners of different companies all around the city, all around the world. They had all teamed up with my grandfather one way or another at the time he was still running The Reynolds; that was the name of our company, in case you were wondering. I stood upstairs, simply looking at everyone as I sipped from the glass of wine that I was holding. The place was quite lively, and it was nice to see all these smiling faces. More people showed up at the party, most of them my grandfather’s workers back then; some were his business partners. And then my eyes caught a group of businesswomen, chatting and laughing with themselves. They all looked wonderful and reminded me of my mom. ARUECTED PLEASURE more. I had no idea why my grandfather even hated her back then; I couldn’t find any fault in her. It was still the same thing with the Harriet situation. Speaking of Harriet, my eyes widened the moment I spotted her stepping foot inside the house. She was putting on a sleeveless silver dress, which was torn a little. She was indeed beautiful with all that makeup, but I wondered what my grandfather was going to do if he saw her at the party. I had told her not to come, and I couldn’t understand why she refused to listen to me. I didn’t see any drama or commotion around here. And even though grandpa was turning eighty, he could still beat the living daylights out of so I looked down at Harriet as she took slow steps, looking everywhere, probably searching for calling. I just dipped it back in my pocket me. My phone began to ring, and she was the on and sipped more wine. “Sir, I have something to tell you.” Jack, my loyal assistant, approached me. “What’s that?” I drank from my glass of wine, still watching Harriet. “We were informed that the CEO of Vitality Group has arrived and is outside along with her workers. They should be stepping foot inside the building any minute from now,” Jack brought out. “That’s nice.” I couldn’t help but smile. The Vitality Group had made an agreement with our company two months ago to work on a major project. We had been discussing the project with the CEO, but hadn’t actually met her in person. But today, we were going to meet face–to–face for better understanding. This project was a big deal for the both of us. The Vitality Group rose to fame about six months ago, and they were considered to be one of the most successful companies across the globe, leaving everyone astonished. With this, all companies wanted to team up with them. ‘Sir, there are also some people who would like to speak with you. They want to discuss the matters concerning… Jack paused immediately; his eyes widened, his jawline tightened, and his mouth was widely opened.
