She didn’t know anymore.
The only thing that she did know was that she needed to speak with this man. Without any second thoughts, she raced out of the car and over to the doorway, looking at Jude. He was there a bit battered and bruised, but he had a smile on his face, one that she missed.
“You’re alive,” she said.
“That I am. I managed to get out of there with just a few injuries, but yes, it’s done. I’m sorry,” he said.
“It’s fine. I’m just so fucking glad that you’re alive. Let’s head on in. If you’re still injured, I can take care of you. It’s my turn to help,” she said.
Jude nodded in appreciation, and soon the two of them were inside. They headed to her couch, and she placed Jude there, looking at him with a weak smile. She then went to get her first aid kit, making sure that she had extra bandages. When she got there, she started to clean up a few of the bruises that she saw on his body.
“So what happened? I mean, it did take a while, but I’m happy that you took him down,” she said.
“Yeah. Ivar was his name. He was a total bastard. I had to find him first off, and after we parted ways it proved to be a lot harder than I expected. However, I learned of his hideout, but then I realized that it was guarded by a lot of people, and I had to be stealthy about getting to him. I then had to undergo a secret mission to eliminate Ivar and make sure that he never caused trouble again. That mission was done last night, and it took me about twelve hours to get out of there. I managed to infiltrate the base, and soon I was able to beat Ivar. I had a lot of worry that I wouldn’t make it out alive, but then, I remembered you, and I knew that I needed to make sure that I kept myself alive, at least for you,” he said.
She felt an overwhelming sense of pride as she thought about this.
“Well thank you. I’m glad that you’re safe,” she said.
“You and me both. I did get a few gunshot wounds, but I was able to sustain the damage and get out. That’s why I have the bandages. The bullets have been removed and the wounds clean, but I do need to change the bands every so often,” Jude explained.
Leia nodded, doing just that. He did hiss in pain a little bit at the feeling of the wound, but she knew that she needed to do this. Once that was done though, Jude sat back, sighing.
“So yeah. I eliminated Ivar, took the base down, and completed my mission. I got paid well, the amount of money agreed to and then some. He did ask me about another job, which was where I had to give him the truth,” Jude explained.
“Oh no. What happened with that?” Leia asked.
“He was upset, but he understood. He wished me the best, and then I went to the bike shop. I got a more normal job now, but I still am considered a bad boy piece of scum by society, so I don’t know what to think,” he said.
“You should be happy. You got rid of a bad person and managed to get out with few injuries,” she said.
“I know that, but I’m still shocked that I managed to do such a thing. It was still shocking in a sense, but I didn’t know what to do afterwards. I knew that I had to see you though,” he said.
“Same. I knew that I had to see you soon too. That’s why I was happy to see you when you got back,” she told him.
“I was as well. There was a reason for that though, a bigger reason than what you have,” he told her.
“What was it?” she asked Jude.
He then moved closer, gazing upon her and smiling.
“You’re the first person I’ve ever made who has made me think about someone other than myself and the mission. I never warmed up to anyone, and I thought that one-night stand was just going to pan out into nothing. But then, we found one another. As much as I don’t think fate is real, I feel like something was telling us deep down that we had to be together. I know that fate is very hit or miss in life, but I believe that it was meant to be for us,” he said.
Leia smiled, knowing that it was the right thing to hear.
“That makes two of us then,” she replied.
“Good. Because I love you Leia. I know that sounds crazy, but it’s the truth. It’s the real, honest truth that I’ve told myself for a long time, that I’ve wanted to express to you since we reconnected and learned about one another. I’m glad I did what I needed to do, because now I can be safe and sound with you by my side,” he said.
She looked at him, realizing that this was it, that this was the life that she wanted to have. All of a sudden, the two of them moved closer to one another, glancing at each other with expressive eyes. She stared at Jude, the dark-haired beauty that she fell for. She couldn’t believe it, but this was the first time ever she had felt something so strongly for a person, and she didn’t feel ashamed for it.
“I think I love you,” she admitted.
“I think I love you too. I promise I’ll never let you go again,” he replied.
The two of them pushed their lips against one another, the first kiss that they’ve had without painful emotions, without the feeling of lust from a one-night stand, and it was the first kiss where they could fully express their feelings towards one another that they had never felt before.
Chapter Five
The two of them started to kiss one another, letting their lips brush against one another in an erotic fashion, loving the way that it felt. It was different from what she expected, simply because of the fact that she had never had an experience like this with a man before. It was nice, that she had to admit, and she knew for a fact that it was certainly going to be something amazing.
Soon, they let their lips mingle with one another in a slow and seductive manner, both of them enjoying the passion that the other was giving to them. It seemed strange, but in a way Leia felt like she was about to already go crazy with pleasure. Jude was kissing her with equal fervency, but then he slipped his tongue into her. They started to let their tongues mingle with one another in ways neither of them ever expected, and soon they were tasting one another in a slow, languid fashion. This was heaven in her mind, a true heaven that she enjoyed more than anything before.
They continued this for a very long time before he pulled away, glancing at her with a smile.
“Do you want to continue this elsewhere?” he asked her.
She didn’t have to be told twice. Soon, the two of them made their way out of there, even though it was obvious that they wanted to go back there once they were done. She wanted to make sure afterwards that none of the wounds reopened or anything. When they got to her room, she pushed the door open, climbing into the bed. He climbed on top of her, and for a moment, they just looked at one another, their breath mingling with each other.
“I can’t believe I got so lucky. I think you’re the reason I managed to stay alive,” he said.
Hearing that was really sweet in her opinion. She never expected to feel this way about another person, but to her, it definitely did feel right.
“Well sometimes the right person comes on by, and it’s something that you both enjoy,” she admitted.
He smiled, and soon his lips were against her own once again, both of them tasting and feeling the way the other felt under them. He pushed his tongue into her mouth, tasting her once again. The two of them started to massage their wet muscles against one another, groans echoing through the room. She could feel the hard bulge in Jude’s pants, and already she could tell that her body was growing hot with pleasure too.
He then pulled away, smiling at her as he kissed down her body. His lips caressed over her neck, lightly biting on the muscles while his hands moved through her dark tresses. She blushed, moaning in wanton pleasure as he continued his onslaught against her body. This was perfect, simply perfect, and this was exactly what she was craving.
After a moment or so, he then pulled away, smiling at her and looking at her with a grin. He moved his lips right over her collarbone once again, biting down on the skin to elicit a moan from her. He bit down hard enough to leave a mark, and she would cherish it. She knew that at thi
s moment, this was the only thing that mattered to her.
He pulled away, looking at her as she breathed heavily.
“You look so pretty right now,” he said to her.
She wanted to respond, but then he did something that was completely unexpected. He grasped her shirt, throwing it over her head to expose her pink bra. She blushed at the color choice, realizing that she grabbed a bra that really didn’t fit with her black top. Jude didn’t care though, fro soon his lips were moving down her body, lightly kissing and touching the edge of her collarbone before he got to her covered breasts. She had a nice set, and Jude did admire them, grasping them softly and massaging the cups. Leia let out a small, breathy moan as he did this. She thought about the fact that she almost lost this man dude to everything that had happened, and soon she was trying to shake the bad feelings away. She didn’t want to think about that, but instead she wanted to be happy and continue to feel all of this.
He then started to move his hands to the back of her bra, undoing the clasp and letting the garment fall off her body. She gasped, realizing this was the first time he had seen her like this. Back then, they did have sex, but it was more of a quick fuck than anything, and this time they were expressing the love they had for one another. He gazed at her breasts, lightly touching and fondling them, making her moan in pleasure as he did this.
He then started to move his lips to the edge of her areola, lightly caressing his lips against the sides of it before he pushed his tongue in circles around the bud. She let out a small moan, lightly bucking her hips in pleasure at the action he took. He continued to tease the nipple, sucking on it slightly while his hand tweaked the other in a soft and sensual way. She already felt as if she was going insane, and this bad boy certainly knew how to treat her right.
After a moment or so, he then pulled away, smiling at her with a grin before he moved his hands to her stomach, roaming against the area before he got to the edge of her pants, lightly stripping them off of her. There was the familiar place, the familiar loins that he had seen before, but this time, they were there for him to touch and pleasure, not just for a moment, but for as long as he wished.
He pushed her legs apart, touching her thick thighs and caressing them. Leia let out a panting moan, bucking her hips up at the actions he undertook. He then let his tongue dance over her clit, teasing it with small strokes before he dove into her, letting his lips touch the edge of her entrance before he dipped it in. She let out a series of moans and gasps of pleasure, and soon he continued that for a while. It was obvious that there was only a matter of time before she was about to go completely and utterly insane, and soon he was teasing her even more so with each move. He prodded her entrance, and soon she was holding onto him, bucking her hips up to meet him. He slithered away after a while, removing his pants and grasping his wallet. In there was a condom, and after a couple of moments, he sheathed his cock. He slid his shirt off too, and soon the two of them looked at one another.
“You look amazing,” she breathed.
“Look who’s talking. You’re the gorgeous one,” he murmured.
Hearing that was enough to drive her completely mad. Leia then spread her legs, and soon Jude was at her entrance sliding in. The two of them were looking at one another with full eye contact as he started to thrust into her. She let out a moan as he penetrated her inside, moving his hips as he pressed directly into hr.
Leia wrapped her arms around him, grasping him as he continued to move within her. It was amazing, and with each and every touch, she felt as if she was about to go insane from the sheer pleasure of the moment. He continued his onslaught against her body with her thrusts, enjoying the reactions that he got from her. He continued this for a while, both of them relishing in the fact that they could give everyone the pleasure that they deserved.
After a few more thrusts, he pushed his cock right up against her g-spot, making her scream out. She tightened around him, her pussy hugging his erect member as she came hard, her release spilling out of her. At that exact moment, he groaned, the friction too much for him as he came as well, the condom holding his release.
After a moment or so, he finished up, pulling out as he looked at her. He then threw the condom away, glancing at her with a smile.
“Did you like that?” he asked.
She nodded. “Very much so. It was way better than the first time, I have to admit,” she said.
“That’s because the first time was awkward. Neither of us were of a sound mind, and we were both not really sober. This time it was for real, and I have to agree with you as well, it was a whole lot better.
They looked at one another, and soon Leia spoke once again.
“Are any of your wounds opened?” she asked. They did go at it pretty hard.
“Thankfully not, but thanks for asking,” he said.
She nodded. “I’m glad they’re not. That would’ve been terrible,” she admitted.
“Yeah.”
They paused, looking at one another for a good minute or so, but then Leia spoke once again.
“I have to ask this, and I feel weird for doing so, but it’s been bothering me,” she stated.
He looked at her, moving closer as he gave her a warm smile. “What’s up?”
They stared at one another for a moment or so, with Leia trying her best to figure how to articulate her thoughts. Finally, she sighed and said what she needed to say.
“Are you going to leave me again? Because I’m afraid that something might come up, some other bad thing,” she said.
He looked at her, but he shook his head.
“Not anymore. I left that life, because I realized that the perfect person for me is right here. You waited for me when I was gone, and you were there for me when things were bad. I love you for that, and I don’t want to leave you ever again,” he admitted.
She looked at him, nodding in agreement.
“Same here. I love you Jude.”
“I love you too Leia.”
The two of them kissed each other once again in a tender and passionate manner before they fell back into the bed, holding each other in their arms. It was amazing to realize this, because she knew for sure that they would be together forever. That’s what happened, and she was excited about that.
Jude now had a normal job working on bikes, even though some did look at him with disgust. They moved in together and Jude helped Leia while she was in school. They grew closer to one another, and soon their love overflowed in ways neither of them had experienced before. Leia was happy she had found her bad boy, and it proved to her immediately that sometimes the right person for you can be right in front of your face.
*** THE END ***
A Boss’s Forbidden Temptation
By: Stephanie Hunt
It was a dreary, Friday night in the city. Caroline Williams, who was a twenty-two-year-old black woman who was originally from out of town, was staying in that evening. She didn’t really feel like going out with her friends, and wanted just a quiet evening alone to read, take a bath, and watch TV. She had had a hard week at work. Her boss was firing some of the staff members at the cleaning agency that she worked for, and she had just barely escaped losing her job. She wondered how much longer she would have a job for. At least she didn’t mind her work. As a maid, she had always liked cleaning. There was something peaceful about tidying up a mess, rendering a messy room into a clean one, that was tranquil and soothing. Needless to say, she kept her own apartment in very clean order. Everything was spick and span.
She was a bit nervous about a new client that she would be working for in the coming week. His name was Liam Telson, and he was a very rich man. He seemed pretty cold from what Caroline had gathered in his press conferences. His reputation was that he was a very ruthless businessman, and was quite unkind to people who were “below him” on the social ladder. She was afraid that he was going to be mean to her. Her job would be to come over to his penthouse condo and clean the place twice a week. She ju
st hoped that he wasn’t there in the evenings when she was scheduled to clean.
Caroline leaned back in her comfortable couch and changed the channel until she got to the news. Low and behold, there was Liam, talking about what is happening right now with the ownership of Telson Financial, the investment firm that his parents owned and that was going to be passed down to him. She listened attentively.
“I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to inherit the shares of Telson Financial. I have grown up watching this business and I have already met many of the key players in the industry. I pledge that nothing big will change once I come into the game. I will be the owner, yes, but the employees will remain. I do not have a plan to cut the labour force at this time. All other questions can be directed to my secretary, Rose Dawson.”
Then Liam turned and walked away from the cameras and microphones and into a tall building, his legal and business entourage following him. Caroline couldn’t help but notice that Liam was a very handsome man. He was tall, with medium-length blonde hair, and piercing blue eyes. It also looked like he worked out. On the other hand, his demeanor was rather off-putting. He seemed like a spoiled and privileged white boy. She couldn’t tell a whole lot from that one, short interview, but it seemed as though he never really had to work for anything in his whole life. It seemed as though things had just been handed to him. Caroline, on the other hand, had always been a hard worker. She did well in high school, but not well enough to earn a scholarship to a college. Because she didn’t have any money (and didn’t want to go into debt), she decided to become a maid instead. She didn’t feel guilty for being “low-class”, because she worked hard. She was good at what she did. Her mother, Patricia, always supported her and was very loving and helpful. Her father had died of cancer when she was a young child. She didn’t really have any memories of him, but Patricia always told her that he had loved her deeply and was always there for her and the family. She wished she could have known him. She told herself that she was not going to get mixed up in Liam’s life. He was just too cocky and rude. At the same time, she did wonder if she could make him change. Perhaps if she got to know him, she could bring out a sweet side in him.
