My proposal has shocked my bodyguard tremendously. Initially, I thought he would refuse to accept my offer, but the darn man didn’t let a one of a kind opportunity become wasted. He agreed to be my partner in bed, with no strings attached.
In the beginning, we both wanted to indulge in our sexual cravings. He was nice to me, and in return, he could have had sex for free, but deep down, I wanted more. It was hard to accept that I liked his affection more than his body or the pleasure that I could from his body in the long run.
“Is there something wrong?” He asked me after we did it, and I just remained in bed, feeling unimportant and used.
I shook my head in response and said, “Don’t worry about me.”
“You look sad,” he noticed, so I had to fake a smile.
“I have no reason to be sad, Lee. By the way, have you set an appointment with Richard Vera?”
“He’s not available as of the moment. I was informed he’s out of the country.”
“I see. While waiting for his return, can you check on the other prospects? I need to settle this quickly, or I wouldn’t have a chance anymore.”
“What about me?” Lee asked, and I was stunned at his inquiry.
For a moment, I stared at him and considered the possibility of taking him as my spouse. I was aware that love wouldn’t be enough to survive in a cruel world, but recently, I have been considering him my partner. Lee and I were good in bed together. We cared for each other. We understood each other without saying the words, and he was a good lover. However, would it be enough?
Recently, I no longer felt it was purely sexual, nor was it solely meant to give me pleasure. Over time, I started to develop romantic sentiments for my bodyguard. As time went on, I slowly fell for him, got infatuated with him, and loved him secretly. Our hearts weren’t part of the deal when we agreed to be exclusive in bed.
There was a moment when I considered having him, and I was about to propose it. However, what would happen after that? The fact that I wanted to keep him by my side didn’t allow me to break my pledge to Lee and instead forced me to continue loving him secretly until I could no longer contain myself. My heart, body, and soul cried out for the guy to love me back as much as I loved him, but there had been no indication whatsoever that we felt the same.
“What about you, Lee?” I asked while guarding my emotions carefully. Several betrayals in the past stopped me from being naïve. I should be wrong again!
“Oh nothing, Selena. Just don’t overthink my inquiry. I have one remaining question, though,” he said.
“Say it,” I told him.
“If I can make you pregnant, what will happen to me? Will I stay as your bodyguard?”
“No. If you can make me pregnant as soon as possible, you will receive your remuneration as per our agreement, but you can’t stay with me anymore. You have to go, or it will be hard for me too.”
“Fair enough,” he replied.
Lee was rational and practical, but his cold response was painful to hear. I shouldn’t mind it, knowing that I had the upper hand in our agreement. However, I was hurt by his indifference. When he strolled towards the door, I wanted to stop him, but my pride prevented me. I just watched him leave me alone in my bedroom.
As soon as he was gone, regret began to flood my mind. I should not have allowed him to help me in the past. Another sigh escaped from my lips when I stood up and sauntered towards the bathroom.
“Hi.”
My eyes widened in surprise when I found him standing outside the bathroom. “Why did you come back?” I asked, and then I was even more surprised when he suddenly hugged me. “Lee,” I whispered his name.
“I miss you so much, Selena, and I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I know I’m selfish right now, but I miss you.”
“Prove it,” I challenged him. What’s wrong with me? I should push him away, but I didn’t! I felt so secure in his embrace. “Prove it to me that you missed me,” I challenged him, and when his tongue started licking my earlobes, I bit my bottom lip in anticipation.
“I want to make love to you,” he whispered in the middle of licking my skin.
“Then make love to me now,” I said. The man knew I couldn’t resist the temptation and used it to his advantage. I started to undress him, and while he did the same to me, my hands went inside his pants. Lee made a loud groan when I began to stroke his hardness.
“Oh my God!” I exclaimed when he positioned me in front of him, and then he thrust into me.
After he was already inside me, I made a series of moans, and when he was thrusting in and out of my body, I grabbed onto him for support. I loved to be ravished rather than rutted, the speed of our motions had slowed down, and although I still liked it, I would have instead for him to make love to me like he used to.
“I’d want it even harder, please,” I requested him to increase his speed, and when he obliged my request, I cried for his name over and over again.
Even though it happened so quickly, I got a distinct impression that he was just about to find his release when his thrust became deeper and quicker. Lee’s hands groped my breasts, and then he fully released himself into me.
“Lee,” I moaned for his name while he emptied himself into me, and my body couldn’t stop from convulsing around his hardness.
“Let it go, baby,” he whispered into my ear, and finally, I allowed myself to be lost again in the peak of orgasm.
Afterwards, we stayed in that position for a few moments.
“I am going to talk to your father,” he announced after putting back his clothes.
I was confused why he needed to tell me that. Of course, he could talk to my father whenever he wished to do it since he’s working for him. “About what?” I inquired.
“I will tell him about us.”
For a moment, I stared at the man and waited for him to smile or to tell me that it was a joke. When did he fail to do that after a couple of seconds? I furrowed my brows at him and asked, “Why? Are you going to tell him that you are in love with me? Is that what you are going to tell him, Lee?”
Lee scratched his head in uncertainty whether to tell me the truth or lie about his reasons. “I will ask his permission to marry you. After what happened between us, do you expect me to let you marry another man? Over my dead body!” He declared.
“Then, I may have to kill you,” I jested, but the man’s expression was worth an award. Then, I shrugged off my shoulders and avoided looking at his eyes. “It’s all up to you, Lee,” I told him after a moment of silence because I knew that arguing with him was futile, and I chose not to argue with him.
“You look sad,” he noticed.
Honestly, I had no idea why I felt so down after his announcement. “Do you believe that having sex will lead us to happiness for the rest of our lives?” I wanted to hear his thoughts on the subject, so I might get some information on whether or not he had genuine affections for me.
He responded by saying, “Let’s do this one day at a time.”
“Do you love me?”
“It takes time to fall in love, Selena. All I know is that I am happy with you, and we are a good match,” he responded with a vague answer that failed to convince me.
However, my feelings for him didn’t change, or maybe I only imagined being in love with him. What if I mistook our compatibility in bed as love? Wouldn’t it be disastrous in the future? “We will discuss it again later,” I said to dismiss him out of my sight. I needed to be alone to gather my thoughts, and his presence was not helping at all.
