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

Mason. As the meeting proceeded, I found myself tapping on the table with my pen. Suddenly, my colleague Peter nudged me. I realised what I’d been doing and stopped. Apparently, it had got louder and everyone had turned to stare at me. “I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen. Please proceed.” They all turned back to Jack Miller who was explaining something about the new AI we were training. I knew everything about it so didn’t have to pay attention. The meeting was mainly for the benefit of our partners who didn’t know much about the project. I was feeling restless, my gut telling me that something was wrong. Everything in my life seemed perfect and I hadn’t missed any call so I was left feeling confused. To make it worse, the presentation was boring. It made me think of many other things that could be more interesting for example April Hartfield’s performances. That thought train brought April to my mind. I pictured her Beautiful face and body. I felt tingles when I fantasied about runn

Mason was right on time. I was pleasantly surprised when he got out of the car and went to open the door for me. I’d gone out with a bunch of broke guys and none of them ever felt the need to do that for me. Seeing such a rich and powerful man do it made me feel so honored.“You didn’t have to do that,” I told him.He smiled. “I had to. You deserve everything, April Hartfield.”The driver started the car as soon as Mason and I were comfortably settled in the back seat. The luxurious car smelled perfect. It had the same woodsy scent as it's owner. I was not used to classy things, so it made me feel out of place and more nervous than I should have been.“You have a great car,” I commented, not liking the silence. It was making me more nervous.“Thank you,” he said. “What kind of car would you buy if you had all the money in the world?”“I’ve never thought of that,” I told him. “When I have enough money saved up, I’ll just buy a regular car. I don’t think I’m ever going to afford luxury.

"It's time," Jenny said, rubbing the back of Kara's head. "Go in there and rock, girls."I sighed, tightening my hold on Bea's hand. You never really got used to those things. Being the lead singer was always nerve wracking for me. Jenny had refused to tell us the name of the host of the party so we had no idea what to prepare for. Seeing that it was in one of Miami's best hotels, it had to be someone with a lot of money. Was it Mason? I hoped so. He and I had talked a lot in the last two days but he had not said anything about a party. Maybe it was a surprise.Kara rolled her eyes when Jenny pushed me to the front. She liked attention and I'd have gladly let her take the lead if it wasn't for Jenny.I walked to the stage with a big smile on my face, waiting for the moment I'd see Mason's face. But things didn't go as I hoped. It was a surprise, alright. But not from Mason. My face fell when I saw the leering smile on my former landlord's face. Ryan Waters shamelessly nodded at me w

Mason.I'd never wanted a woman so much. I knew I was whipped but there was nothing I could do about it. April Hartfield was one hell of a woman. She looked meek and unassuming on the surface, but deep down lay a sensual goddess waiting to be released.I never imagined she would kiss me. I'd wanted to kiss those luscious lips from the day I saw her singing in my yard. Every minute with her tortured me, because I could only stare at what my entire soul yearned for.I had thought about kissing her countless times, but couldn't figure out if she was ready. Now she had taken the lead and shown me she was ready for that more.I was going to give it to her. I spent the first half of the night thinking of ways to get to that moment we both desperately wanted. The image of her mortified cute face after kissing me was stuck to my head, and it kept making me smile. I replayed the sweet moments over and over until sleep decide to have mercy on me.After my morning jog, I grabbed the paper from t
