April Hartfield was beautiful. The way she belted out words with her charming voice and danced around with her banging body had me all hot and bothered. I could not take my eyes away from her. As she moved closer, I felt like standing up, grabbing her and taking her right there and then. But, I swallowed and maintained my composure. Imagine my disappointment when she finished the songs and moved back, away from me.
“What do you think?” she asked me when I didn’t say anything. I was too star struck. How a woman with such an angelic voice could be doing only small gigs. She deserved to be on top, on billboards, on radios, TV among other interesting places.
I wanted to say excellent, but didn’t want to seem too excited. I was not yet sure what I wanted with her, and did not want her to start getting ideas too soon. So, I settled for a nonchalant response.
“Good,” I said with a slight nod. “You can go now. Your payment will be sent to your boss.”
Her shoulders drooped. She seemed disappointed.
I leaned back on the chair and took a deep breath after she had left. Closing my eyes, I re-enacted the performance in my mind. I couldn’t shake off the image of her shaking her sexy body which had curves in all the right places. The young woman was perfect, and even had the attitude to match. She didn’t look like someone who would put up with anyone’s bullshit for long, my kind of woman.
Fishing out my phone, I dialled a number.
“Come with some girls,” I said to the person on the other end of the line. Standing up, I walked out of the room. It was time for me to forget about April Hartfield and have fun.
When I got to my bedroom, I stripped off my clothes and put on some shorts. Grabbing a towel, I went downstairs and moved to the backyard. The maids in the kitchen tried hard not to stare at my obviously breath-taking body as I passed by them like they did not exist.
I could hear the loud sound of Roland’s car pulling in to the drive way. Smiling, I headed to the Jacuzzi. My assistant had already turned the Bluetooth speaker on and loud music was playing.
Tossing my towel aside, I eased myself into the warm water. A maid appeared with drinks on the tray. From a nearby table, she made my favourite drink. Her back was facing me, and she had bent just well enough so I could see her inner thighs. I sighed. On any other day, I would have loved the opportunity to see a fine pair of thighs but on that day, there were only one set of thighs I badly wanted to see.
“Hey man!” I heard the voice of Jed, a friend of mine. He had tried to get close to April but I had warned him to stay away from her until I was sure he wanted her. Because of the ‘bros before hoes’ code, he understood and left her alone. I had shown my interest first when I invited her to give me a private solo performance during the party I first saw her at.
He was walking towards the Jacuzzi with Roland, followed by four girls in clothes so skimpy one could almost see everything. They all had fine bodies, though. Judging by the number, I knew two were mine, just how I liked it.
“Hey girls,” I said, appraising them. “You look delicious.”
Tossing their bags to the side, they removed their clothes and remained in swim wear. There was no big difference. They all got in along with my friends. The maid passed glasses of wine and whisky around.
Two of the girls came and sat next to me, running their hands all over my body. Having money was the best thing ever. You could have whatever woman you wanted, at any time. I leaned back and conversed with my friends as one of the girls started kissing my chest to a point where I couldn’t tell what was hotter, the water or the girls.
“So how far are things with April?” Jed asked.
“She was here a few minutes ago,” I said. “You almost found her. I’m taking it slow with her. She is a good woman.”
Jed laughed. “A good woman whose heart you intend to shatter?”
“No,” I said. “I don’t think I will be doing that unless she turns out to be a crazy psycho. I want this woman, man. She’s the kind of woman you marry. But, why do you ask? Are you still interested in going after her?”
The whores trying to eat my body paid no attention to what we were saying.
Jed shook his head.
“I would love to see that,” Roland chipped in. “A competition between the two of you. Mason, you’re being a coward. I can’t believe you’re sacred that she’d chose Jed over you.”
I laughed. “Come on, I’m not scared about that.”
“Then why don’t you let Jed go after her. Let’s see who she’ll chose. Winner takes it all.”
“I’m not about to fall for this,” I said. “I’m not worried about my capabilities to woo that woman. I just have a bad reputation, that’s all.”
“Admit it, man. You’re scared.”
“Okay, whatever.” I said, finally. I was not about to let them take me for a coward.
“The game is on, gentlemen.” Roland said.
“I’m going to call her right now,” Jed pushed away the blonde and stepped out of the Jacuzzi. Drying his hands, he picked up his trouser and inserted his hands into a pocket before pulling out a shiny black iPhone.
To distract myself, I turned to one of the girls next to me and kissed her.
“Let’s go to my bedroom, both of you.” I said to them and stepped out of the Jacuzzi.
“Are you running from the competition?” Roland asked.
I chuckled. “No.”
I just didn’t want to watch Jed pretend to be all nice in front of me. I smiled when I realised it was a good thing for me.
I was going to let him have April, then make sure he did something to break her heart. Then she’d have no choice but to accept me.
I laughed evilly as I thought of my genius plan. Jed wasn’t going to know what hit him.
The downtown club was jam packed with patrons. The evening was young, and the air still fresh. A few people had started dancing while others were getting their first drinks and chatting with their friends. When we appeared on stage, they started cheering but soon quietened down as we start performing. I realized how much I had missed performing with the others. All was going well until I saw him.Mason was seated on the first table in the VIP lounge watching me with keen eyes. I faltered a bit after seeing him but somehow managed to get my composure back. Making a conscious effort to avoid him, I belted out words while gyrating my body to the beat. As the patrons started cheering and singing along some of the songs, my confidence increased and I drowned myself in the music forgetting about Mason and his steely eyes. As we started singing famous singing of other musicians, the crowd becomes livelier. I enjoyed myself and the attention we were getting. My favorite part about performin
What the hell, I thought as I sat up. He was the one who disappointed me but he had the guts to leave when I was asleep. I spotted a note on the stool and grab it.Had to leave for an early meeting with one of our distributors. Xo, Dave.My shoulders drooped. Getting out of bed, I stalked to the living room where I had left my bag. Opening it, I fished out my phone. It was 6:54 am. He had never had to go for meetings that early. Was he hiding or just so embarrassed about last night that he couldn’t face me. I realized I had to do something to make him feel better. Dave had great sexual prowess and I was not about to let one lousy night ruin our happiness and his confidence.Dressing up, I locked the apartment and leave, heading for mine after sending him a good morning message. Cold air bit into my skin as I stepped out of the building. Since I didn’t live very far away, I decided to walk. It was time for my usual morning jog, anyway.When I get to the apartment, it was quiet and I
After our performance at Mason Steele’s house, one of the servers asked me to follow her to meet a guest who had asked for me.I was shocked to find a glamorous beauty waiting near the pool. She was standing under the lights, looking spectacular in a bright red dress and black heels. The woman had long wavy black hair and a very pretty, older woman face. Her lips were painted bright red and I hoped the words that would come out were not venomous. When she saw me approaching, she smiled and took a sip of her drink. “So, you are April Hartfield?” the woman asked. Her tone sounded a bit condescending which put me off immediately.“Yes, I am.” I said, confidently staring at her.“What do you know about, Mason Steele?” she asked.“Honestly, not much. We were invited to perform here. It’s Jenny, our manager who handles everything.”“You have been here three times, I believe.”I nodded. “What does that have to do with anything?”“Everything, my dear. You see, that handsome man is not for e
After the heated dance with Mason, he excused himself and went to meet another beautiful woman who had been staring at us. Looking around, I didn’t see anyone I wanted to dance with so I decided to go and get a drink at the bar. I found Bea and Olivia standing there.“How?” Olivia asked, taking a sip of her drink.I raised my brows.“Stop acting like that was nothing, girl.” Bea said, nudging me. “You danced with Mason Steele, the Mason Steele. How are you not going crazy?”“It was just a dance,” I said before telling the bartender what I wanted. “Okay, you my friend, are the expert in pretending. It was not just a dance, and we all know that. I knew there was a reason he kept asking you to perform for him. The man is smitten. Oh my goodness! You’re dating a billionaire.”“Shush, stop being dramatic, Liv. A man like him could never date me. Look at the woman he is with now. Beautiful, glamorous, rich. I can’t even compete.”Thinking a man like Mason Steele could be interested in me w
Warning: Mature content 16+As soon as we got to the bedroom, Dave and I stripped. When we were both naked, he took me in his arms and started kissing me. My body was burning with intense need and I couldn’t wait anymore. “I need you, baby.” I said softly, not being able to take it anymore.Dave smiled and gently pushed me to the bed. He stared at me, making me feel hotter and wetter. I liked when he looked at my body like it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Dave positioned himself between my legs and his lips touched my most sensitive part, nearly sending me over the edge.He pushed my thighs aside while I kept trying to bring them closer. As Dave licked me in slow circles, I arched my core upwards wanting him to go faster which he did to my satisfaction. The butterflies in my stomach were sending off waves of electric current through my whole body. As much as I was enjoying what Dave was doing, I needed another part of his body to bury itself deep inside me. When I w
There was a lot of commotion as everyone ran out of the auditorium. The fire alarm was ringing loud in my ears as I scrambled to run towards the door which was filled with hundreds of people trying to get out all at once.“Where is Bea?” Maria suddenly asked.I looked around but didn’t see Bea anywhere. Smoke was increasing and filling the building. “Find her, April!” Jenny shrieked. My mouth widened but I ran back to the room backstage. Wading through the smoke, I couldn’t help but cough as it filled my lungs. I didn’t know where the fire started from but there was a smoke everywhere and people were screaming and running around.The room was full of costumes and other equipment. It was one big mess. Bea was bent over, digging through some of the costumes and throwing things around the room.“Bea! Let’s go!” I yelled. “Come on, everyone’s almost out.”Bea looked up for a brief second. “I’m looking for my bag. It has my 500 dollars!”“What? Who cares about money right now? Let’s go.”
Carolina.Lying back, I rolled my chair around, trying to forget what I’d just seen. The different newspapers on the table looked like they were mocking me. Those damned reporters. How could they insinuate that Mason would want that ordinary girl?I rubbed my palms together, anger building up inside me. Suddenly, I couldn’t take it anymore. Reaching forward, I grabbed all the papers and started tearing them into pieces. “Dominic!” I yelled and my new assistant rushed into the room with a panicked look on his face. Good, he was afraid of me. If he knew what I’d done to the last one, he wouldn’t stay in this job for the huge sums of money I promise to pay him. “Have you been able to reach her?”He shook his head. “No, I can’t reach the number. Maybe the phone got destroyed at the auditorium yesterday. I’ll keep trying to find other ways of contacting her.”“Oh, you annoy me so much. All you do is try, but never get anything right. Get out of my office.”Standing up, I went and looked a
April.Maria and I were lounging on the balcony when Bea brought us some pineapples she’d just finished slicing. She placed the plate of pineapple slices on a wooden stool before sitting on a woollen one. All of us were trying to be positive but reality was not making it easy. Our spirits were low and we hoped to get a good gig that would deliver us from the new pit we’d fallen into. The fire had destroyed a lot of our things, taking us behind. I had just reached over to pick up a piece of pineapple when I heard banging coming from the front door. We glanced at each other before standing up at the same time. Our neighbourhood was not exactly a safety net. When you heard something like that, you could only expect bad things. “Who could that be?” Maria asked, frowning.“I have no idea,” I stood up and walked into the kitchen before proceeding to the living room. “Who’s there?”“It’s Anton.”“Shit!” Maria, who had appeared next to me said. Anton was the apartment manager of the buildi
