Olivia was with her friend Heira and they were about to enter the venue of the event. Her friend was a famous singer while she was a beauty queen.
She won the Miss Star of the World so she went to Singapore months ago for the international competition where she ended up as the second runner up.
Her ending up as the secondrunner up wasn’t not enough for her mother Carolina Montreal Castillo, Miss Star of the World 1996 which was held in the USA.
She almost but her bottom lip when she was reminded again that she would always be just a shadow of her beautiful mother.
"I don't know if I fit in this event Heira. Only popular and famous celebs are here just like you, " she said with a sad voice.
"And why not? Have you forgotten that six months ago, you won..."
"I didn't win. I was just a runnerup,” she bitterly cut in.
They were now inside the building. It was the anniversary of All For Comfort clothing line and the owner’s birthday, Denny Ignacio who was married to a former actress and beauty queen too.
"Gosh Liv! Will you just stop that?! Where’s your confidence?”
“We better get inside before it gets too crowded!” she said ignoring her question.
She wasn’t into this kind of events but she had to go. She didn’t even wanted to join the pageant but her mom forced her too. She shook her head and just sported a smile as they roamed their eyes inside the grand room.
Brandon arrived more than twenty minutes ago and he felt that he had too much of the attention he is getting from the hosts and the other guests. He couldn’t blame them since he was after all wellknown. He was a total package. Hotlooking, a celeb and filthy rich. Surprisingly, his bad boy image make women swoon.
He excused himself to say that he needed to smoke. He decided to go to the garden a little far from the hall where the party was and where there was no one. He lighted a Dunhill cigarette with his gold lighter.
"Want some company?" a female voice asked.
He didn't even straighten when he heard the voice because he knew who it was.
"Stalking me again Paula?" he asked dryly without even throwing the woman a glance. She was a lingerie model.
"Come on Brandon! Will you stop playing games? Admit it! We both know you miss me," she said huskily before she kissed his neck.
"You flatter yourself too much Paula,"
He won’t deny the fact that the woman was really good in bed but he had never missed a woman. There was no room for that bull shit for a man like him. He could have any female he wanted with no strings attached.
"I know you are bored. Do you want me to make you happy sweetheart?" She asked huskily as she grabbed his member.
"What do you have in mind?" he asked before throwing the cigarette in his hand.
His lips twitched when the woman's expert hand unzipped his trousers then she let out his considerable shaft.
"I will suck you dry sweetheart,” she whispered and went on down on her knees.
Olivia was getting annoyed. Her ex, Xander had been pestering her. She still couldn’t get over the fact that he only wooed her because her mother dared him to. Her mother told her on the face that he was just playing with her.
She thought before that her mother was deliberately seducing her admirers since she was lovelier than her. Her mom looked young though she was 39. She was petite unlike her.
She needed to diet and exercise because she could gain weight easily as her mom always said. She had to forget the past. All she had to do now was to avoid her ex. She went out of the entrance and saw a beautiful garden. Then she heard a male grunt.
"I'm coming!" the man groaned which made her gape. She slowly turned her head to the direction of the voice.
She could clearly see what was happening. A very tall man in a tux was leaning on the wall while a female was on her knees and was giving him a head. She wanted to go before they saw her but her feet seem to be stuck like her eyes were glued on them. She couldn't remove her hazel brown eyes from what was happening.
“Fck!” Brandon uttered.
Paula moaned when he let out a sound of satisfaction and his seed spurted and went straight to her mouth. While breathing raggedly, he pushed his still hard stick inside the woman’s mouth.
Paula was really good in sucking his cck dry.
"Swallow everything! " he ordered and turned his head to the left.
He constricted his eyes when he saw a female standing a few feet from them. Her eyes were on the lower part of his body. When she felt his stare, she raised her eyes. Then their eyes locked.
After several seconds, she hurriedly went back inside. He cursed quietly.
"Hey are you okay?” Heira asked.
She just nodded but she was feeling a little lightheaded. She needed a drink. She was hoping that she won’t see that disgusting man again.
She couldn't deny the fact that the man she saw was the most ruggedly handsome male specie she had ever seen though what he was doing in a public place with that woman was revolting. He was hot but frankly, she abhorred his kind.
She better calmed down. She wished that the man wasn’t Denny’s guest. She had to cross her finger because deep inside her she knew it wasn’t possible. She had been wanting to leave but Denny’s wife had something important to tell her.
She signed a contract for All for Comfort or AFC. Besides, she didn’t want to spoil the night since this party was also important to Heira. Her friend could talk to people who could help her singing career.
Just then, the volume of the music was turned low. The emcee greeted the guests and introduced the power couple. Denny and Graciella. She roamed her eyes. All the attendees were filthy rich and belonged to the high society.
She didn’t feel comfortable but she had to bear being here. She felt her mother would never had missed this event if not for the fact that she was in Italy with her friends from high places.
She had to be thankful that she wasn’t here with her because she would feel more uncomfortable with her mother around.
“Thank you so much for coming tonight. Enjoy the food and drinks. My staff will give all of you some complimentary gifts. Enjoy them. And now my lovely wife Graciella has some announcements," Denny Ignacio said and the people clapped.
"Good evening friends! My husband and I are really elated that you were all able to come to share this wonderful evening with us. This is not only my husband's birthday party. As all of you may already know, we also support some charities. Tonight, I will ask some of my friends to support charities which my family's organizations are helping,” said Graciella.
Brandon finally saw the female. She was several feet from him. He cursed under his breath when she turned her head and he was able to see her face clearly. She was gorgeous.
He was used to beautiful women but this woman had something that he couldn’t explain. His eyes went down her body. He could her her right profile. And though she was a bit far , from an expert's point of view, he could see that she had an hourglass body. He felt his shaft throbbed while he ran his eyes on her. This female was really hot. Super hot. His bed would definitely be on fire with this woman under or on top of him. He uttered a bad word when he felt his briefs tightened.
Olivia did a stupid mistake of turning her head. She should haven’t taken her eyes off the stage. She shouldn’t have looked around though she felt like she was being watched.
But unfortunately, she did turn her head to her left and now she had to suffer the consequences. She felt all the breath in her body was knocked out off her. He was staring at her. He was not even pretending to be doing anything else.
If looks could melt, the room would be flooded with her liquid form. She looked away from him. She had to get out of the room to hide from him.
She said a silent thank you when the guests became excited because Denny's staff started giving paper bags to everyone. She didn’t have to move because all of a sudden the man somehow disappeared. She heaved a sigh of relief.
She moved to the farther side of the room while Heira was busy talking to another singer. Besides she remembered that she couldn’t leave since Graciella would talk to her. The only consolation she has was, it might take a while before their talk.
The couple was surrounded with guests who want to congratulate them. She had time to calm her nerves. She saw a waiter with a tray of wine glasses. She needed more drink. Maybe one more would be enough because he had a low tolerance to alcohol.
She only wanted to calm her nerves not to pass out from too much booze. But before the waiter came near her, someone called her name.
She sometimes felt that she was really jinxed. Bad things started to happen tonight. At first she saw Xander at this party. And now she was in one corner of the function hall with the wife of All for Comfort’s owner. And who was with them?
It was the man she didn’t want to see again much more mingle with. Brandon Lopez, the king of perverts. She didn’t know how he looked like until tonight because she wasn’t into watching UFC matches.
But his name was very familiar because her friend Heira talked about him most of the time.
And who would ever think that the man who looked really hot in a tux was doing something disgusting with was woman a while ago was the former UFC champion who Heira had the biggest crush on?
From what she heard from her, the former UFC star had a hunky body with a lot of tattoos and was sinfully goodlooking. Her friend even said that he was a slt in bed according to one of her friends who had a onenight stand with him.
Well Heira’s description fit the man to a T because of what she had witnessed minutes ago. And the most important thing was, this man was definitely bad news however hot he was.
Brandon Lopez was sizzling so for sure her friend would be starstruck if she saw him this close. And she wass betting her life that this hot male looked good on tv but he looked way much better in person. No wonder Heira was crazy about him.
She knew that sooner or later, her friend would find out that he was also in the venue. She sighed. She was not affected by him. She should not be affected.. He was a manwhore! Not her cup of tea.
"Hello Olivia." drawled Brandon before getting her hand and kissed it. She felt his tongue on her skin. She just nodded while almost gritting her teeth then got her hand from him.
Pervert! She angrily thought .
Why did that surprise her? He didn’t care if he was seen while a woman was giving him a head. His eyes turned into half slits so she was sure that he wasn’t pleased. Seemed like no one had shown any dislike to Mr. Pervert until now.
How sad! She thought.
"I hope that you will say yes to my proposal,” Graciella asked him.
The woman was very pleased since the former UFC champion liked Olivia. Olivia looked like a Barbie doll and Brandon was a very very hot millionaire who loved beautiful women. If things would go well and Brandon said yes to what she requested him, it would be a big help to their charity. Olivia wouldn’t be a problem since she was their new model.
Olivia’s brows creased. Brandon’s presence was confusing her. She couldn’t fathom why he was here with them. She didn’t like the way he was sort of stripping her with his eyes.
"I want to get to know Olivia more before I give you my answer. I hope that’s fine?" Brandon asked Graciella.
"Sure! I will leave you guys alone! Take good care of Liv, Brandon." The woman said before going.
"Hey!" she complained when he pulled her outside. "Last time I slapped a man was two years ago. Do you want to be next?"
When they were away from the others. he turned to her. He leaned her back against the hall’s white wall. He was looking at her as if he wanted to devour her whole.
"Do that baby and see what I will do to you. Last time I really fcked a woman hard was two nights ago. What you saw awhile ago was mouth fcking. With your loveliness and hot body, I will definitely not want to do the latter. I want to eat your sweet pssy and swallow all your juice before I repeatedly thrust my massive stick inside your delicious core," he said throatily.
Her hand went up to slap him but he caught it in midair.
"Don't tell me that I didn't warn you," he said before claiming her mouth for a savage kiss.
Olivia tried to free herself but she couldn’t do anything. He had her arms pinned on her sides as he assaulted her mouth. She felt so humiliated and dirty. She had to stop him.
Brandon had proven that he was right. Olivia was so fcking sweet. She had a soft body and her scent was driving him insane. He had to have her.
"Liv?!" called a male voice.
She felt Brandon stiffened then tore his lips from hers before turning his head to look at the other man. She appreciated her ex's presence. Brandon was breathing raggedly as he faced her ex.
He asked in an arctic voice, "And who the fck are you?!"
Brandon was taller by a few inches and obviously had more muscles under his tux.
"I am her..."
"He is my boyfriend!" she interrupted.
She was hoping that this pervert would finally leave her alone after what she said. He turned to her and his eyes were burning. He looked really pissed. He then released her arm and all of a sudden hit Xander on the face.

"Oh my god!" Olivia shrieked. Her feet brought her to the wall behind her due to shock.
Xander cursed when Brandon’s fist landed on his jaw. And now the latter took hold of his collar.
"You fcking jerk!!" Brandon hissed.
" Stop that!" she uttered without moving from where she was. She hated to admit it but was scared of Brandon’s anger.
Xander had his arms on his face to protect himself. Brandon angrily looked at her.
“Is this sshole your boyfriend? I saw him kissing another woman! So this trash is your kind of man?!” he asked through clenched teeth.
That left her speechless. She lowered her eyes. She placed her hand on her chest. She could feel her heart throbbing. She raised her head eyes again when Brandon smacked her ex on the stomach this time before he shoved him to the ground. Before she could move or react, he grabbed her arm and dragged her outside.
"WWhere are you taking me?” she asked sounding panicky. She couldn’t hide the fear in her voice.
She didn’t get easily scared but this time was different. A former UFC champion was dragging her. He was very tall and all muscles so she couldn’t fight him physically. But as she expected, Brandon ignored her question and just continued walking tagging her along with him. Her eyes widened when she saw that they were heading to the garden.
"NO!!" she protested.
Many images formed inside her head. Vivid images of what he and the woman he was with did entered her mind. She was afraid of what this pervert might do to her. Then he pulled her to him so her soft body crashed against his hard one.
All her breath seemed to have gone out of her. She was tall and had high heels but she had raised her head a little to look at his face. It’s so unfair that he was even hotlooking this close. He had beautiful dark brown eyes.
His stubble added to his sex appeal. He was hotter than a Greek god. She had no choice but to touch his chiseled chest because she wanted to push him from her. She felt her mouth went dry.
He smelled of cigarette , a musky cologne and his natural manly sweat but strangely, she didn't find his scent appaling at all. Instead it was seem to be turning her on. She felt her most private part down there reacted. She scolded herself.
She couldn’t believe that she felt physically attracted to this maniac. The man was a male version of Eve. He was a walking sin and she would put herself in such a big trouble if she became sexually attracted to him. She can’t be having this feeling.
Xander said that she was frigid, boring and an amateur in making out. In other words, she didn’t have sexual passion in her bones. Her ex even told her bluntly that he didn’t have the desire to teach a virgin like her about sex.
Though what he said hurt her years ago, now she was relieved that she didn’t give her virginity to such a jerk like him.
Brandon knew that he was in trouble. He hadn’t even touched nor kissed Olivia but he already felt horny. She was lovelier upclose. Her features were perfect. She deserved to be a beauty queen.
Her face was really enchanting but he noticed that her eyes had a certain coldness in them though that didn’t affect her attractiveness. He wanted to utter an obscene word.
This woman was like a magnet and what was surprising was, she probably didn't even know what effect she had on him. His pants felt tight. His manhood was throbbing.
This can't be happening to me! He angrily thought.
" Release me!" Olivia demanded.
He clucked and narrowed his eyes. He wasn’t aware that his pissed feature made him seemed hotter.
Olivia swallowed as she tried to appeared to be unaffected by this man’s goodlooks. She hated her body from reacting to him. She knew that she wasn’t capable of feeling any desire for men but it was so unbelievable that this goodfornothing pervert had a strong effect on her. She was probably going insane. She would stop skipping meals even if her mother would throw insults at her about her body every day. Dieting had a bad effect on her brain and all the system in her body.
"Leave that fcking jerk! I will treat you better. I will make sure that you will have multiple orgasm every day," Brandon said like he was just talking about the weather.
She felt her cheeks turned crimson.
"You psychopath! You really are so uncivilized! How dare you say such...such...vulgar words!!" she was gritting her teeth in annoyance.
He grinned which made her want to spit on his face. She had the strong desire to do that but she was terrified of what he would do to her.
"I am known to always speak what's on my mind and what my buddy down there wants…” he chuckled.
He pulled her to him so their bodies would be closer. She almost closed her eyes. She could feel something hard between them. She was a virgin but not naïve. She knew that the perv’s buddy which he mentioned was that thing.
"You have soft boobs. I am fcking sure they are real. They look so big under your gown. I wonder what your nipples look and taste like. I am sure they are rosy and sweet..." he said while sounding breathy. His dark eyes were on her lighter ones.
"You are the most disgusting man I’ve ever had the misfortune to meet!" she said furiously on his face.
His actions and words are both appalling. He let out a chuckle which lightened his face and her clt reacted again. Unfortunately her kitty was also starting to sweat since her underwear felt damp. His closeness and the scent of his body were sending waves in her body and mind. Strange enough, she liked the combination of cigarette and mint scent on his breath. They make her body react involuntarily. She scolder herself again for having this sexual feelings for this man she hated.
"I haven't imagined that a gorgeous woman and a beauty queen like you can curse like but you really turn me on big time. I like everything about you, baby. I want to hear how you scream and what words will come out of your sweet mouth when I eat you and fck you repeatedly, ” Brandon said in a husky voice.
He released her hands but he wrapped his arms around her. His hands were almost touching her butt.
"I will scratch your face if your hands will go lower," she threatened as she looked at him with eyes like daggers but he just grinned.
"Shit baby! We will be so fcking good together and I can hardly wait…" he raised one of his hands to cradle her chin.
She knew that he was going to kiss her so with all her force, she pushed his muscled chest and turned her head the other way.
"NO!" she said through clenched teeth.
His hand which was near her bottom tightened. They were so close together. His arousal between them was making things worst. He held her chin firmly. He turned her face to him.
"I hate that word and I don’t want to hear you say that!" he said before kissing her on the lips. She did everything to keep her lips clumped together. She didn’t want his tongue inside her mouth again but her body was betraying her. When he squeezed her bottom she gaped and he took the chance to invade the sweet recess of her mouth. His tongue started to explore. She tried to turned her face but his other hand held the back of her head to steady her.
NO! He can't do this to me! She told herself as she made sounds of protests.
"Brandon!" a female voice squeaked.
He was taken aback and Olivia pushed his chest with her arms. He didn’t want to release her but the woman behind her spoke again.
"How dare you!" the woman pulled her hair.
"Ouch" she cried out.
Brandon had no choice but to release her.
"LET GO PAULA!" he demanded angrily while taking the woman's hands off her hair.
When Brandon freed her, she hit the woman with her elbow.
"BITCH!!" Paula screamed before letting go of her hair.
Angrily, Olivia faced them. Paula’s face was red from anger while Brandon was holding her arms from her behind.
"You turned me down for this bitch?! You are really a womanizer” The woman accused Brandon.
He freed Paula’s arm and took Olivia’s
" If you don't let go of my arm this instant, I will kick your balls so hard that you will have male infertility problems!” Olivia threatened.
She knew damn well that she won’t be able to fight him physically. He was a UFC champion and a mixed martial arts expert but she was really pissed and wanted to hurt him badly. He cursed under his breath but eventually released her. Then he raked his fingers through his hair while his eyes were on her angry face.
"Look baby..." he began to tell her which made Paula let out an ugly sound.
"Baby? Pft! Baby my ss! Talk to your whore and don’t get me involved in your mess!" she furiously told him then turned to Paula.
" Listen to me you slt! Don't ever call me bitch because you are the bitch not me! You suck cocks better than a vacuum cleaner! " she rasped then with a raised chin, she quickly walked away from them.
She heard Brandon calling her but she ignored him. With all the anger in her, she would fight him like hell if he attempted to stop her.
It was her first project for All For Comfort. She was looking at her face in the mirror. The makeup artist did the finishing touches before she went out of the small dressing room to check it the set was ready.
She stood up and checked how she looked like in the big mirror behind her. She had her hair loose on her shoulders and had minimal makeup on. Graciella instructed that she would be doing the pictorial for sports wear first .
She was in a black sports bra with matching spandex gym shorts. Her boobs appeared to be bigger. What she had on, showed her curvaceous body and her flawless skin.
She didn’t feel nervous and uneasy wearing such skimpy wear because she knew the photographer. He was her cousin’s friend. Then the door opened.
"Lei? Is the set ready?” she asked the makeup artist.
When she didn’t answer, her brows creased. She turned her head to where the door is.
"Lei..." she stopped when she saw a barechested Brandon who was looking at her appreciatively.
"Damn..." he murmured as his eyes ran on her body.
As usual, he was stripping her with his eyes. She let out a quiet sound of disbelief and disgust at the same time.
Her mouth was slightly opened as she stared at him. Hi muscled chest and arms were full of tattoos. He looked sizzling.
"You are sexier than I imagined," he murmured but she heard him.
"Wwhat are yyou doing hhere?" she stammered as she realized she wasn’t just seeing things.
The man she abhorred was in front of her. He was really here. He raised his eyes to meet hers. She saw them glint before he gave a sneering smile.
"We are doing pictorials together baby. And I am sure as fck that this is going to be a lot of fun..." he said as his eyes darkened and narrowed before they went down to her breasts.

(Flashback: At Denny Ignacio's birthday party)
"Where did she go?" Brandon asked Graciella.
"I guess she went home. She seems to be in a hurry. She said she has a headache," the woman said.
He almost cursed. Paula stalled him. His former bed warmer wanted more in their relationship but of course the feeling was not mutual. If he didn’t fall on her trap of delaying him. He could have stopped Olivia from leaving. After what happened tonight, he would tick off Paula from his list of fck buddies.
"So are you going to say yes? Will you do some pictorials for the new sets of wear of AFC? I know you are too busy but I’m sure you can squeeze the pictorials," Denny’s wife said with a smile.
She wanted Brandon to be their endorser. He could attract more clients and customers because of his sex appeal. Women would surely buy their products for their husbands or boyfriends. They would want their partners to look even just a little like the Brandon Lopez who was a dream for women.
Brandon was now looking at Graciella with a serious expression.
"I might even do it for free,” he said and the woman almost gaped.
"That's a joke right?" she asked with her eyes wide.
He knew that she didn't expect him to say something like that. His talent fee cost a fortune and just now he just said that he wouldn’t charge them anything. He smirked at her so she will understand why he was willing to do something like that. Graciella Ignacio nodded after a few seconds. A wider smile broke her lips.
"!Now I get it! You are willing to do the pictorials with no talent fee because of Olivia!”
He cocked his left brow. "Yes and more..." he said.
(End of Flashback)
At The Moment…
"WWhat do you mean?" Olivia asked Brandon.
"Exactly what I said baby…" he replied throatily.
"Will you stop calling me baby!"
He released a sexy grin which made him look yummier.
"You have to get used to it baby. Like it or not, that will be our endearment,” he said conceitedly .
She clenched her teeth.
Calm down Olivia! You can’t be stressed by him! She reminded herself.
She wanted to kick his shin and smack his face but she wouldn’t. She was a beauty queen. She was supposed to always act properly. She won’t let her anger towards this hateful man ruin her reputation. She heaved a sigh and lok at her reflection in the mirror again. Besides she had to take hold of her wayward feelings towards this man. She might hate his ways, words and behavior but she couldn’t deny the fact that he was sinfully hot.
"Are you ready baby?" she heard him ask.
Rolling her eyes, she turned to the door. She totally ignored him. Her eyes roamed the set as she searched for Lander. Her cousin’s friend who would take the photos. She bit the inside of her cheek when she couldn’t find him in the room.
The crew she saw when she arrived was missing too. Instead, there was a man maybe in his fifties who was checking the camera. And two females were arranging the props and lights. Then Lei entered the room.
The makeup artist gaped when she looked behind Olivia. The latter couldn’t help rolling her eyes. She knew Lei gaped because of Mr. Pervert. She stiffened when she felt his hand on her back.
"Let's meet the photographer and his crew baby," he told her.
She didn’t say or do anything. She just let his hand on her back. She didn’t want to cause a scene.
"Okay Brandon, now I want your arms around Olivia while she leans her back against you, " Tony, the photographer instructed.
Brandon did what he was instructed to do and she almost was gritting her teeth. The former UFC champion of course was taking advantage.
She had realized that he probably chose the photographer so they would be asked to do very sexy poses while their body touched each other. She stopped complaining because Tony would always patiently and kindly explain why they had to do those poses.
And unfortunately for her, he makes sense all the time. Later after the photo shoot, she would call Lander and asked him why he wasn’t doing the pictorials. If he were the photographer, she was sure that there won’t be any scenarios like this.
"Yes! That’s it! Hold that pose!” Tony said before turning to one of his assistants, “" Sam! I want more lights there..." he pointed at the right side of the set.
"You are giving me a boner baby, " Brandon whispered in her ear while his arms were still around her.
She had goosebumps and she felt that hard thing again on her back. He was definitely right! The pervert was having a hard on!
"Fck you!" she whispered back through gritted teeth while pasting a fake smile on her face. She made sure that he heard her though her back was on him.
She heard him chuckle then he whispered on her ear again, " Yes baby! Do fuck with me! I want it hard and rough..."
Her eyes narrowed with his lasciviousness but before she can retort Tony’s voice vibrated in the room again.
"Okay! Let’s start again!”
They did some more poses before they were asked to change clothes. They were given a tenminute break. She heaved a sigh of relief because she cold at least breath without Brandon. When she was about to go down the stage, he was about to help her but she shoved his hand.
" I can do it myself! Don’t touch me because the camera is not on us! Pervert!" she angrily uttered but she made sure only he could hear her. He chuckled which made her grit her teeth.
"See you again in ten minutes baby..." he told her.
This time she turned her head to glare at him. She gave him the dirty finger when she knew no one was watching. As expected, he chuckled again then winked at her.
"Goodness Miss Liv! You and Mr. Lopez looked great together! I didn’t think it was possible but he looks even hotter in the flesh! His body with all those tattoos is magnificent!” Lei commented giddily as she helped her with her hair.
"Sorry Lei. He’s not my type. Excuse me, I have to make a call,” She said with a smile before standing up.
She has three minutes to spare. She had to call Lander. After two rings, he answered.
"Liv?" came his deep voice.
"Lander! Weren’t you supposed to be our photographer today?! she asked and he sighed.
"I was! I don’t know what happened! I even called Miss Graciella’s assistant. She said I should go to studio 6 because there was a mixup. Anyway are you done? I will be done in less than half an hour.”
" We have some more shots but I’m almost done too.”
"Good! Can I come over the studio? I would like you to join me for lunch. We'll talk about the pictorial. I hope you haven’t forgotten your promise. he said with a smile in his voice.
She smiled too. He asked her if she would be his model for one of the exhibit he would be joining. Because of her cousin Andrew, she said yes.
“Don’t worry. I haven’t forgotten.”
" Thank you. I will come over right after we finished. See you Liv!” he said sounding happy.
"See you Lander." she replied before hanging up.
She gasped when she turned and saw Brandon behind her. His eyes were burning and his lips were clamped.
"Do you want to give me a heart attack? Why are you so sneaky for Pete’s sake!” she accused him in a little shaky voice.
She closed her mouth and swallowed when she saw how he was looking at her. He was staring at her and he certainly looked pissed.
"The set is ready,” he informed her in a very cold voice before turning his back at her.
She was glad since finally Brandon acted like a professional during the last shots. He still had to put his hands and arms around her and their bodies had to be really close but she felt that his touches didn’t have any malice. He behaved like a professional model, not a pervert. He didn’t whisper any disgusting comments in her ear too. She almost uttered a prayer of thanks. She hurriedly walked to the dressing room. She would take off her makeup and change clothes.
She was now in black jeans with dark gray top. She had black flat sandals on. She would be meeting Xander for lunch so she had to hurry. She didn’t want him to wait for her at the studio for a long time in case he was already there.
When she opened the door, instinctively her foot moved two steps back. Brandon was sitting on the couch across from the dressing room. He was in a leather jacket and dark jeans. He had a brooding expression. He raised his head when he felt her presence. When their eyes locked, he stood up.
"Let's go." he said seriously. His face was also serious.
She frowned. " What do you mean by let’s go?" she asked.
" You are going to have lunch with me. We can go together to the AFC office later.”
He was talking about the briefing with Graciella and the designer. The latter would discuss with them the formal and casual clothes they would wear and model.
"That will be much later. I can go there by myself." she said before walking passed him. She almost gaped when she felt his hand on her right arm. She looked daggers at him.
"Will you let me go?! You are so annoying! " she complained.
"You will eat lunch with me baby." he said firmly.
"I can’t! I have other plans!” she muttered sounding irritated.
But she felt her heart skipped a beat when she saw him grit his teeth and his eyes became like slits. His hand on her arm tightened.
"Haven’t you heard about what happened to your ex? " he asked coldly.
She chewed her bottom lip. Obviously he already discovered her lie.
She was about to say something but he said," I guess you are really angry at that sshole because you introduced him as your boyfriend to me. Well he was probably afraid that I will finish him off because he confessed that he was after all is your ex. But sorry to say , he passed out after that because I had beaten him up." he said with a sneer.
Her eyes widened. "YYou wwhat?" her voice sounded weak. Brandon pulled her closer to him.
"You heard me baby. I knocked the daylight out of that trash! I don’t know if he was already discharged from the hospital,” he said nonchalantly.
She uttered a sound of disbelief and fear.
"Do you want to know why?" he asked.
She shook her head while her eyes were wide as she looked at him. He appeared to be holding his breath as he stared at her eyes then her nose. His stare went down her lips too and after a few second, they came back to her eyes. His hand on her back tightened.
"Because I think you don't get it baby. I've told you what I want to do to you and your beautiful body. If words aren't enough, maybe actions will do the trick. I can easily beat up trash who will come near you. Listen baby, I want you! I badly want you and you'll be mine ! I'm the only man who can come close to you! Am I making myself clear?!" he asked in a voice as cold as ice.
She couldn’t help swallowing. She didn’t know what to say to him. She was shocked and felt a bit afraid of him. He didn’t even give a damn about what he did with Xander. He seemed to be used to knocking other men around.
"I even brought the photographer who I trust and his female crew because I don’t want any ssholes looking at your body while we have the photo shoot! But unless you want me to beat up the trash you were talking to on the phone, you would go with me now” he added as his eyes were on her.
"Miss Liv! Sir Lander is looking for you, " Lei announced with a smile but her smile disappeared upon seeing Brandon,"...err…he is in the studio, " she added in a small voice while her eyes were on Brandon.
She felt Brandon's fingers almost dug on her arm before he abruptly released her and walked furiously towards the corridor to go to the main studio.
"Brandon no!" she said and went after him.
The anger she saw on his face and the way his body stiffened before he turned to walk away, she knew that he would do what he said about beating up Lander. She cannot let him hurt her cousin’s bestfriend.
Chapter 4 Preview
"Please Brandon no!" She even grabbed his arm to stop him.
He turned to her. His lips were a thin line.
"He is my cousin's friend! You can't hit him!"
She was ready to say and do anything to stop him hitting Lander. She didn’t want any scene. She had been avoiding such situations but Brandon’s expression wasn’t encouraging. She needed to do or say something before he smacks Lander.
"I will do anything! Just don’t hurt him. I don’t want my cousin to get mad at me!” she said desperately.
Then she saw his eyes glinted and his brows creased.
"Anything?" he asked in a raspy voice.
Her eyes narrowed. She wanted to take back what she said but she couldn’t. It was true that she didn’t want any rift between her and Andrew but the way Brandon is looking at her now and that tone of his voice, she was having cold feet. He was now smirking.
"Anything but sex!" she hissed.
His smirk became broader. The look on the perv’s face was r worrying her. She turned her head where Lei was a while ago. Thank goodness she was gone. .She didn’t trust Brandon and the words that would come out of his mouth.
He pulled her by her waist then lowered his head to say in a husky voice, "Are you sure baby? You will do anything?”
She nodded. His touch was sending shivers down her spine. One of his hands was rubbing her back which caused her to have goosebumps.
"Sex is out!” She wanted to clump her lips because looked like he'd kiss her again.
His lips twitched to one corner. He was really a walking temptation! Her body was reacting so she scolded herself.
She would start dating tomorrow/ All the guys who like her were good men. Brandon might be way richer and hot than them, she was better off with any of them. She won’t ever want to be Brandon's woman.
He was a womanizer and had no scruples in getting what and who he wanted. But her forehead creased when she remembered that he told her no other men could go near her. She almost groaned when she felt his warm and pleasant breath fanned her face.
She was lost in her thoughts and hadn’t realized that their faces and bodies were very close now.
"You and your buddy are alike eh? You don’t even choose the time and place to act disgustingly!?" she said sarcastically when she felt his arousal between them.
He chuckled without breaking the stare.
"Contrary to what you think baby, my buddy doesn’t react to just any female. But you are a different story. It hardens when I see or smell you. Much more when we are this close. So just say yes so it won’t be disappointed. My buddy never wanted any woman so much until now. The mere sight of you makes it throb." he whispered.
"Is sex what you always think about? You seem to be talking about nothing else but sex! The level of your lust is something else!" she hissed.
He ignored her and instead moved his face closer to hers. Their lips were almost touching.
"I won't smack that photographer but you will let me kiss you. And you are not going with him! We will go to lunch together! " he said sounding firm.
She turned her head to the other side to avoid his kiss. She felt she couldn’t do it. The way he sounded made her feel that he was not talking about a simple kiss. Having lunch with him didn’t sound as scary as the kiss he was talking about.
"Let me go! I can’t breathe!” she complained and tried to push him from her.
She was lying of course. She just wanted a space between them because she couldn’t think clearly in that position. She was glad that at least he did let her go immediately.
"Listen baby. I won't do anything you won't like. And I promise that we won't go all the way without your go signal." he said.
She almost cursed at him. What did he think? That she was excited to have his hands all over her? She was about to voice her protest but they heard footsteps. It could be Lander.
She hurriedly whispered, “ Do what we agreed on!”
He winked and smirked. "Scouts honor.” He replied and he raised his right hand and crossed his fingers
“I will do what I told you and you would do the same baby,” he added in a serious voice. His expression became serious too.
She pushed him away from her. But before he totally released her, he gave her lips a quick but firm kiss. When he released her, she quickly put a distrance between them. The footsepes were nearer. And a few seconds later, Lander appeared.
"Liv?" his brows creased when he realized that she wasn’t alone.
She was thankful that the distance between her and Brandon was far enough. She didn’t want Lander to realize that Brandon had just kissed her before he came into view.
Brandon clenched his fists which were on his sides when he saw the other man’s face. He was pleasant looking and though the bastard looked surprised when he saw them, he seemed to be really glad to see Olivia.
The trash and Olivia deemed to be almost the same age. He on the other hand was already thirty three and he was ten years older than her but he didn’t care. Their age gap didn't matter.
But seeing another man who was nearer Olivia’s age and who was obviously very interested in her, really pissed him big time. Slowly, he felt heat ffrom his neck was going up to his face but had to control his anger.
He promised Olivia that he would stay cool. He tore his eyes from Lander to look at her.
"Have I kept you waiting Lander? I’m sorry. Mr. Lopez and I were discussing about work. I did the photo shoot with him,” Olivia said to Lander. She was smiling.
Brandon didn’t like that she was smiling at the Lander but he shut his mouth. This would be the last time that he would allow her to smile to ssholes. He would tell her that later.
"No I just came in. So are you ready to go?” he asked Olivia and he was looking at her intensely.
Brandon gritted his teeth. He had to leave them for a while before he would lose his control.
"I will wait for you outside baby. Don't forget what we talked about,” he reminded her while his eyes came back to Lander.
Olivia almost grunted. What Brandon just said and how he said it sounded threatening. Lander knitted his brows and looked at Brandon. Much as Olivia didn’t want to transfer her eyes at Brandon, she had no choice. She wanted to glare at him and say something sarcastic because he used his endearment for her in front of Lander. But when she saw his face, she just chose to shut her mouth. He had a scowl as he glowered at Andrew’s friend. Slowly, his narrowed eyes went to her.
He leaned towards her, without touching her , he whispered in her left ear in a very cold voice , " Don't let him touch you or else..."
After a few seconds, he straightened then transferred his eyes to Lander again, "Be out in three minutes baby. I hate waiting." He was talking to her but his eyes were on Lander.
She stayed silent but she would definitely talk to him later. He finally turned and left with a straight back. She could sense that his muscles were tensed. She knew he was doing his best to control his anger. It was kind of awkward between her and Lander after Brandon left.
" I didn't know you were an item." Lander commented. He looked pokerfaced but his tone is a little cold.
She let out a light laugh. "Of course not! He calls all women baby," she lied.
"I know what I saw Liv," He added but he shook his head after he realized what he said. He now looked apologetic.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to sound as if I am prying. But from what he said, I reckon that you are going out with him? Does that mean that our lunch is cancelled?" he asked disappointedly.
She circled her lips with her tongue. " Ssorry but it slipped my mind. We have a briefing with Graciella and the designer. We can reschedule our lunch.”
He heaved a sigh and in a sad tone said, " Okay. That’s no problem, Liv.”
She smiled apologetically again before asking him to walk with her to the door. She checked her watch then walked ahead of him. Their three minutes was almost over. Knowing Brandon, she was worried that he might cause a scene if they won’t come out immediately.
When she was almost near the door, it was flung open and Brandon stepped in. His face was wooden as he glared at them.
"I will call you Liv." Lander whispered so Brandon won’t hear.
She just nodded and turned her head to him. He released a small smile before he left. He even nodded his head at Brandon but the latter just continued glowering at him. She almost rolled her eyes. When Lander closed the door behind him. Brandon pulled her by her arm and e leaned her back on the wall.
Before she could react, he said," Time to claim my kiss!"
He pinned her hands above her head as he pushed his tongue inside her mouth. He was really an expert in the art of kissing that felt felt lost. One advantage of him being a manwhre was he was a great kisser. His kissed were making her lose her mind. The movement of his tongue inside her mouth caused her legs to wobble. If her back wasn’t against the wall and Brandon wasn’t holding her, she would have probably been on the floor already. Her legs felt like jelly.
Frigid my ass Olivia! She scolded herself when she couldn't help but let out a moan.
He was rubbing his body against hers and it was really a shock that her body could only react to him. She was dead meat! Her body’s reaction was ruining her sensible thinking.
Brandon was kissing Olivia as if he really couldn't get enough of her. He had tasted a lot of women's mouths but she had the softest lips and the sweetest saliva . His desire for her was skyhigh. He would have her very soon. He didn’t think that he would last longer without possessing her. He would totally lose it if he had to wait for long.
"You are driving me crazy baby...." he murmured when he removed his lips from hers for a few seconds.
"Sorry!” the voice sounded like the makeup artist’s.
"Go out and close the door!” he ordered Lei without turning his head to look at her.
He saw Olivia’s mouth slightly open to say something but he kissed her again without caring of Lei’s presence.
Olivia just heard the door closed while Brandon was still devouring her sweet mouth. She was wishing hard that Lei wouldn’t tell anyone. But she doubted it. News spread like fire. When Brandon finally tore his lips from hers, they were swollen and numb. She pushed him from her.
"You took advantage again!”
He just let out a sneer. He touched his own lips with his index finger as his eyes were on her. He seemed to be savoring the kiss they shared.
"I like kissing you so much baby and honestly, I can kiss you forever. But I want to do something more satisfying to you. Much more satisfying than just kissing your sweet lips," He said throatily which made her raise a brow.
"Excuse me?! We had a deal that it would just be a kiss! Actually what you did was more than that! " she accused.
He didn’t reply. He was just looking at her with a naughty smile on his lips.
Brandon tried to convince her to ride in his car but she refused. She had to do some grocery shopping after their lunch and before their briefing . She didn’t want him at the grocery with her. His female fans would flock to them.
She was surprised to see Graciella Ignacio with the designer of AFC already in the restaurant and talking to Brandon . They probably arrived at the same time. She on the other hand had to find an ATM machine. Now they were all seated around the table.
She found out that Brandon asked Graciella to have the briefing earlier since he would have an emergency meeting with one of his business partners so he won’t be able to come to the AFC office after, She was curious abut what kind of business he was talking about.
They were probably all monkey business anyway. She told herself that soon , she will get information about those.
The designer was explaining about the clothes they would wear for the shoot while the waiter was serving their appetizer. All was going well though she was sitting next Brandon But she spoke too soon.
After a while, she almost dropped the glass she was holding. She felt his warm hand on her thigh. She was in a skirt which was above her knee. She glared at him but his eyes were on Graciella.
The other woman was talking about the new concept her husband wanted to have with the new ads for their products. Discreetly, she tried to remove his hand on her thigh but it tightened.
"So how was the shoot with Brandon, Liv?" Graciella asked her.
"It was okay." she replied expressionlessly.
She pinched his hand but it was useless. It even went higher.
"Did you already tell her Brandon?"
"Tell me what?" she asked with a creased forehead.
Brandon had his eyes on her and she felt nervous.
"I haven't." he told Graciella but his eyes were never leaving hers. He was now rubbing her upper thigh gently.
She tore her eyes from him to look at the other woman. If she didn’t do that, she would throw the liquid in her glass at him.
" Brandon agreed to be our business partner. He agreed with a partnership between AFC and Sport It Up which he owns. He is now your boss too."
She stopped from groaning. Her brain hadn’t yet fully absorbed everything. She was perfectly aware of the consequences of what Graciella just said. Slowly, she transferred her eyes to Brandon. She swallowed when he smiled knowingly at her. She felt his hand squeezed her thigh. She gritted her teeth and wished herself good luck.
Chapter 5 Preview
"It will be very nice working with you Olivia." drawled Brandon. He squeezed her upper thigh.
Graciella and the gay designer beame then she suddenly stood up.
"Excuse me. I will just go to the restroom."
Brandon got up from his seat too, "I'll go with you."
"NO!"
She saw shocked registered on the faces of Graciella and the designer..
So in a lower tone, “I’ll be fine. Please continue your meal.”
With appreciation in his eyes, Brandon looked at her sexy backside. He raised his hand to his nose. She smelled like lilies. He had found a gem in her. She was almost perfection.
He heard Graciella asked the designer to leave them for a few minutes. The latter nodded and immediately left. He turned to her and leaned on his seat. He crossed his arms on his chest.
"Are you sure that you’re leaving all the decisions to us? You can always change your mind. Denny and I would welcome your opinions. We both know how good you are when it comes to business."
“ I trust you and Denny. You have been doing well so far."
Something behind Graciella caught his eye.
"Okay. Well since you are really rich, I don’t think the hefty amount you invested in AFC would matter to you. I am just amazed that you are all doing all these for Olivia. She doesn’t have any clue how lucky she was,” she said with a smile.
Brandon’s full attention was not on her. He was still looking what was behind her.
"Well since you know my intentions, I guess there won’t be any problem right?" he asked.
"Of course. You don’t care about other things regarding AFC except for Olivia’s contract, projects and schedules. No worries. By the way she has a twoyear contract with AFC so best of luck. Not that you need it,” Graciella beamed.
He nodded and excused himself. “I have to deal with something. Hold on.”
Olivia was relieved that Brandon didn’t follow her and she got the toilet to herself. She leaned forward to the sink with her hands flat on its sides. Everything was going so fast. Since she met Brandon, her life had been in a chaos. She avoided being in the news for a long time. Last time she was on the headlines was years ago.
Will the plainlooking and skinny teenager turn into a beautiful woman just like her lovely mother Carolina Montreal Castillo?
Even when she became a beauty queen, she wasn't spared from negative writeups.
Carolina Castillo is disappointed that her daughter didn't get the crown. She will never be like her beautiful mother.
Maybe her mother paid the reporters. Her mother wanted to be always number one. And never cared about her. She wasn’t a good mom to her while she was growing up. She married her dad for his money.
Her grandmother witnessed how her mom was with her, so she became her protector. But when she got sick, years after her dad died, she told her to be strong. She said that someday she would meet her prince who would save her from her mother’s claws.
She was tearyeyed upon remembering her past. Then an idea came to her. Brandon and her mom together! They were a perfect match! She was startled when she heard a voice.
What is taking you so fcking long?!"
She couldn’t believe her eyes. He was in the female's restroom!
"You can't be here for Chrissake !!" she angrily said.
He raked his fingers through his hair then cursed.
“ I wass so damned worried about you! An sshole was looking at you with interest so I thought he followed you her! "I thought he did something to you! You have been gone for three fucking minutes!" he rasped.
She looked at him incredulously. What was his issue with three minutes?
"Not all men are like you!”
His eyes narrowed. "No one touches you but me! And since I’m your boss, I will hire a bodyguard for you! I don’t want to worry when I’m not with you!”
“What? You are really crazy! Just get out!” She was pissed, shocked and flattered? She shook her head. She wasn’t used to anyone getting worried about her. And what this man was doing and saying weren’t normal.
" Why the hell are you acting like my keeper? I just met you a few nights ago! Are you out of your mind?”
He advanced towards her to hold her arms. "Because I can't forget your face, your body, your taste and your smell! And yes! I am out of my mind so don't fcking make me so damn worried and pissed!” He pulled her to him. "Listen to me baby! This is the first and last time I will say this! I never felt this much desire for a woman! I have never been territorial! I get what I want! I’m very aggressive and I fight hard and sometimes if it's needed, I fight really dirty! So don’t anger me!”
"Oh yeah? Excuse me but you aren’t getting me!”
"You wanna bet baby?" he asked in a breathy voice. Then they heard knocks.
"Is anyone here? Why is the door locked?" came a female’s voice.
"Open the door!!" she ordered Brandon in a panicky voice.
He gritted his teeth and walked to the door to open it.
"Use the fcking toilet near the parking area! You are disturbing us! " he rasped while the two women outside stared at him. He then slammed the door. She groaned in dismay with what he did.
"Now where were we baby?" he asked huskily.
“I told you to leave me alone!”
He shook his head. “That’s not going to happen. By the way, I will be out of the country for a few days but I will be watching you! Don't forget what I told you! Steer clear of men! I can’t postpone my flight. Consider it like a little space between us. I will let you miss me. We will start dating when I return.”
"Wow you got it all planned? But no! You will never be my boyfriend so don’t act like you own me! I don't want to see you again so you better not come back!" she hissed.
Heat came up his neck and face. He was willing to woo her but he didn’t like her reaction and words " I will be your lover with or without your consent! The sooner you accept that, the better! Be very afraid of the real me! They didn't call me the baddest UFC champion for nothing so don't even think about provoking me, baby."

"Liv delivery is here,” said Jane. Olivia’s business partner and friend.
She nodded. She was expecting Kent, their supplied and owner of the flower farm with his delivery men.
"Good morning Miss Beautiful,” he greeted her. He handed her a bouquet of red roses.
Jane made a funny sound as she made faces at them. Her friend knew how much Kent liked her.
“I came early because I’ve been wanting to see you,” Kent said with a smile. “ Can I invite you for coffee, Liv?"
"Aren’t you busy today?” she asked with a smile as she smelled the flowers.
“It’s a Saturday so I don’t have to go work. Besides my men can finish all the deliveries today.”
Kent was a bank manager and on weekends, he helps with his family businesses including the flower farm.
“Go Liv. Lea and I will take care of the shop. Kent has been asking you for coffee for ages,” came Jane’s voice with a hint of a teasing smile.
She jokingly rolled her eyes at her. Her friend liked Ket for her.
“Heard that Liv? So come on! Let’s go to the new coffee shop nearby. We can walk there,” beamed Kent.
She just nodded and smiled wider too. She welcomed his company. Today she just wanted to be stressfree. She was glad that at last Brandon wasn’t in the county. Her life was back to normal. She hoped that he would find another woman wherever he was now so he won’t ever come back. She felt a small pain inside thinking about that. She shook her head to clear it then walked out with Ken. The coffee shop was a 5minute walk.
"Are you sure you only want coffee?’ Kent asked after giving the waiter their order.
"Coffee is fine. I am on a diet." she said with a smile which made him chuckle.
"Come on Liv. You don’t need to go on a diet . You look perfect," he said while looking at her appreciatively.
"You are such a flatterer!” she joked and he chuckled.
“Really Liv. You are very beautiful,” he said seriously.
She bit the inside of her cheek and smiled shyly at him.
“So how’s your work?” she asked him to remove the awkward feeling she had. She still felt uncomfortable receiving compliments. She was relieved that he let her change the topic. They started to exchange stories. She discovered that he was fun to talk with. They had a lot of things in common. In other words, they were compatible. The half an hour they set for their breakfast became one and a half hour.
Now they were heading back to the flower shop. They were both smiling.
"Thanks Liv. I am really glad that you accepted my invite at last. I hope this won’t be the last,” Kent said, sounding hopeful.
She smiled wider “I’ll think about it,” she joked and he scratched his head.
"You look cute when you do that,” she complimented him.
She almost giggled when he blushed. She just shook her head and continued walking with a happy smile. She would go out with him again.
"There’s your car. You don't need to go back to the shop with me.”
"No. Let me walk you to the shop.”
They both looked at his car. He frowned while her eyes widened when they saw an irregular line along the side of his car. There was no dent. Just the ugly deep scratch.
"Kent! What happened to your car?"
He didn’t reply but he came closer to the car to check the damage.
"Gosh Liv! I couldn’t believe that someone would do that to Kent’s car! He was really nice that he just let what happened passed. If it were another man, he would have gotten violent!” Jane said with a shake of her head.
“I know. I told him next time he should park nearer the shop,” she said sounding a bit sad with what happened.
"Well I’m sure that won’t stop him from coming here. Anyway how was your date?” she joked.
Olivia made a face at her. “ What date? We just chatted over breakfast.”
“Come on Liv! Kent has been pursuing you for a long time now. He’s a good man and obviously he more than likes you. Just give him a chance girl! He’s a good catch!” her friend said with a silly grin.
She let out a light laugh. “Don’t worry. He invited me to watch a concert next week and I said yes,” she gaped when Jane made a happy sound and grabbed her hands and started to jump up and down in glee.
Brandon was in Singapore to support one of the UFC fighters who had a match in Marina Bay Sands last night. He hired his trusted bodyguard Charles to watch Olivia while he was gone. When he got back at the hotel he saw his message which was an hour ago.
Charles: Sir, Miss Olivia left with a man.
He cursed and dialed his number.
"Where the fck are they?!" he asked furiously as he paced back and forth in the living room of his suite.
"At the café near Miss Olivia’s flower shop sir.”
"Do you have your eyes on her now?" Brandon asked.
He ordered him not to stare at Olivia. He couldn't find a good female bodyguard immediately so he had no other option. His bodyguard was his most trusted but he was a man and Olivia was gorgeous. He didn't want any man to look at her with admiration.
"No sir. I’m looking at the man she’s with,” the bodyguard said courteously.
"Just make sure you’re telling the truth! We will do the lie detector test when I get back!” he threatened.
"Copy sir."
"You know what to do with the trash she’s with. Don’t hurt him. Just scare him,” he ordered.
“Okay sir.”
"Do your job discreetly or suffer the consequences!”
"Noted sir.”
He was furious. He told Olivia to stay away from men and now she disobeyed him. Seems like she wasn’t taking what he said seriously. She would suffer the consequences of what she did.
"You are testing my temper baby,” he murmured as he blew out a smoke.
Olivia was the last one to leave the flower shop. She told Jane that she would tidy up first. Now after an hour, she was finally done. She felt hungry and tired. It was almost 7 p.m. She would buy food and take a warm bath to relax.
She was about to go to the toilet when her phone started to ring. It was an unknown number. With a frown, she took the call. "Hello?”
"Hello baby."
That deep voice gave her goosebumps. She felt her heart skipped a beat. She won't ever forget his voice. Obviously he got her number from Graciella.
"Have you been good baby?" he asked in a cold and emotionless voice.
" Are you talking to me? You got the wrong number Mr. Lopez,” she said trying to hide the fear in her voice.
There was silence for a few seconds. She was ready to hang up but he spoke again.
"You are the only one I call baby.”
"I don’t do inappropriate things. So your question if I have been good is nonsense. Stop pestering me Mr. Lopez. Goodbye!”.
She sighed and calmed herself. She won’t let him affect her. She had been fine while he was gone and she won't let him ruin her night. She was tired and badly needed food and rest. She sighed and walked to the powder room.
She wouldn't freshened up a bit before leaving. Since it was a weekday, most establishments around her close earlier but she wasn’t afraid. This was a safe place anyway. She was locking the door from the outside when something caught her eye.
She almost screamed because Brandon was leaning on the wall of her shop near the display window staring at her. He was smoking. She looked around her and saw no one else.
She wasn’t afraid moments ago but finding Brandon here and the way he was looking at her was giving her the creeps. Unluckily, her car was at the back of the shop.
“Baby have you been good?” he asked and she heard his footsteps behind her. “Have you forgotten what I told you before I left?”
She was scared as hell so she didn’t snap at him. “Oh God!” she murmured when she heard him cursed.
She was almost running. Her heels made sounds against the road as she hurriedly headed to her vehicle. She shrieked when she felt him grabbed her by the waist from behind. Then a hand with a hankie covered her mouth. She tried to scream but she couldn’t. He had his other arm around her so she couldn’t move. A chill ran down her spine when he spoke.
"You have been a bad girl baby,” he whispered in her left ear.
Her hands are pinned on her sides. He seemed to be inhaling her skin and hair which was making her feel different types of emotions. Fear and excitement.
" Do you know what I do to bad girls baby?" he asked.
She just continued trying to wriggle free but then she suddenly felt dizzy.
Before she passed out she heard him say, “You will soon find out.”
Chapter 7 Preview
She moaned and touched her forehead. She still feel a bit dizzy but she tried to open her eyes. The room was illuminated by yellow lights. The walls were green and dark. She tried to sit up. The sheet which was covering her fell from her upper body so she was shocked to discover that she got no bra on. She looked at her lower body under the sheet.
"Oh God!" she uttered when she discovered that she only had her lacy bikini on.
She covered her upper body again and leaned on the headboard. She felt weak.
What happened to her?
"I am enjoying the view baby. Don't cover yours delicious tits." came Brandon's deep voice which came from the left side of the room.
He was lustfully looking at her with a grin on his face. His right shoulder was leaning on the door frame. His tattooed arms were on his chest. Seemed like he just got out of the shower.
What did he mean by delicious? She asked herself.
"I'm sorry baby. I couldn't help myself. I had to taste them,” he said as if he read what she was thinking.
"You pervert!" she snapped at him but her gem reacted with the thought of him licking and sucking her nipples.
He chuckled and her eyes constricted. She carefully observed how she felt down there. If there was pain in her most private part. She closed her eyes in relief because there wasn’t which means that he didn’t take away her innocence. She jutted her chin at him and raised the sheet higher that it was almost touching her chin.
He might be grinning like the devil but she couldn’t hide the fact that he had a great effect on women. His upper body was bare and he looked so damn hot. His sex appeal to women couldn’t be denied. He was looking at her with lust while he had that devilish grin. She avoided staring at his magnificent lower body only in a white towel.
She felt it was not fair since his very good looks were the exact opposite of his mindset and behavior.
It was strange because now that they were alone inside a bedroom both halfnaked, she didn’t feel scared anymore unlike when she saw him outside her shop awhile ago. She felt sexual excitement instead.
She scolded herself for having such a shameful reaction to Brandon’s appeal. She couldn’t fathom why she had this feeling towards this hateful man. She had a lot of negative words in mind to describe him.
Unscrupulous, pervert, condescending, annoying, etc.
But don’t forget that he is sizzling hot! A traitor part of her brain said which made her want to curse.
She couldn’t accept the fact that she was attracted to him however hard she tried to reject her attraction.
Without looking at him while she wrapped her arms around her as if to protect herself from him, she said in a cold voice, " I want to go home now.”
Apart from all his negative qualities, he was also a kidnapper! She chose not to ask him why he brought her here because she didn’t want to have a long discussion from a person who has a loose screw on the head.
Her hymen being intact was what matters the most. But she was praying that he won’t force her to have sex with him because she knew she couldn’t stop him physically. But the thought of him possessing her body almost made her groan.
She crossed her legs when she felt her clit throbbed. She was really in trouble! However she hated him, her body couldn’t seem to say no to him. Obviously she wasn’t frigid with him.
"Did you just cross your legs baby? " he asked with a knowing smile as he slowly approached the bed. She gripped the covers and leaned her back closer to the headboard.
She always lost her sanity when she saw his sinful face and body. "Just take me home. I won’t tell anyone,” she said calmly. She mustn’t trigger his anger . He sat on the edge of the bed.
"Even if you call the police, I would tell them that we are a couple,” he said throatily as his eyes traveled on her body under the silk sheet. She quickly got a pillow and covered her body. He chuckled.
"No one will suspect that I kidnapped you. Your car is in your garage and I told Jane that we will have an outoftown pictorial for a few days. Aside from her, no one else would look for you.”
What he said made her got up from the bed but all of a sudden, the silk sheet slid off her body when he smoothly pulled it. If she didn’t have the pillow, he would see her naked body. He then sniffed the sheet which was so erotic. She moistened her lips.
"I missed your scent baby! "
"Pplease Mr. Lopez..."
His eyes narrowed when he heard what she called him. He stood up from the bed and flexed his shoulder muscles. The pillow can only cover her breasts and the upper part of her thighs.
"That will be the last time you will call me Mr. Lopez! Don't make me regret not tying you on the bed baby! Be a good girl now and come to me. Don't make me come after you. I haven’t forgotten what you’ve done.”
Slowly, she moves sideways towards the door behind her.
“What did I do?’ she asked in a small voice.
He walked to the small table beside the bed to get a cigarette.
“Don’t you light that! I don't want to inhale your secondhand smoke! I I don’t like smokers!”
Brandon was about to light the cigarette but he stopped and put the stick back on the table. He then crossed his tattooed arms again on his broad chest with tattoos too.
"Then I will try to quit smoking. I want to please my woman,” he said seriously which surprised her.
"You heard it right baby. I am willing to do that as long as I can have you."
"Crazy..." she whispered.
This man was impossible and most of the time so unpredictable. She was startled when his voice thundered in the room.
"Why did you fcking disobey me?! I told you that you stay away from ssholes!”
Then realization stuck her. He was talking about Kent.
"How did you know that? Don't tell me that you hired someone to watch me?" she asked in disbelief.
"Does that surprise you? You want me to do to him what I did to your ex? I could do worse actually. I know his full name, where he works and his address.” He said coldly.
It dawned on her that he was responsible for what happened to Kent’s car. She knew that he would do what he said. He could do worse things to Kent. She didn’t want that. He was now coming closer to her again. His eyes had a dangerous glint.
" I can be anyone's worst enemy so don't pissed me! I give you my word that I will be your best lover. I won't touch any woman but you. I can be faithful and I will give you anything you want and need but never fck with me baby,” he added while eating her with his dark eyes.
He was really very dangerous and she had to run from him and this whole situation. Without thinking, she ran for the door but it was locked.
"You have the sexiest backside I have ever seen baby," Brandon said behind her.
She squealed when he reached her. She closed her eyes when his warm and pleasant breath fanned the side of her neck and face.
"You are so damn lovely that my dick always reacts just by the mere sight of you. You’re mine! Open your eyes!” he demanded but she refused.
“They I shall punish you!”
His lips enclosed hers. His tongue explored her mouth with quick and expert movements which make her knees weak. She had to hold on to his shoulders for support. They were both making sounds. Her moans were a mixture of protest and arousal while his was from his strong desire to possess her.
His thumb and index finger are now nipping the pink bud of her right breast. She felt something wet came out from her most sensitive part. She hadn't felt anything like this.
She did some petting and exchanged some kisses with Xander years ago but she felt they were so sloppy compared to what this bad boy is doing to her now. His kisses were rough but she liked them. She was out of breath when he finally released her.
Her lips were numb from his rough and wild kisses. She knew they were red and swollen.
Brandon was looking at her with lust at its highest peak. His breathing was ragged and his eyes were molten. They went down her lips.
"That's how they should look like after I ravished them. Beautiful, delicious, sweet just like you baby," he said in a breathy voice as he stared at her swollen lips.
He leaned towards her again. She swallowed a moan when slowly, his lips came down her neck. She arched her back when she felt him suck her skin. She made an effort to push him.
"Tthat’s enough…” she mumbled.
She remembered that she mustn’t say the word no because he hated that word. She balled her hands while she tried to push him from her. She heard him let out a low laugh against the valley between her breasts. He nibbled her skin and sucked before his lips came up to her neck, her chin and below her lips.
" Do you know that the more you resist me, the more you turn me on baby?" he asked in a hoarse voice before sucking her lower lip.
Her knees were about to give way because of his kisses but she was alarmed with what he said so she stopped pushing his body from her. She lowered her arms on her sides. She really had to choose the right words and actions because if not, he would take advantage. Oh God! Am I gonna lose my virginity tonight? She asked herself.
He was breathing raggedly as he looked at her with intensity. She strongly felt what his intention was. He didn’t only want petting. He didn’t abduct her for nothing.
" We will be in this place for three days. I will make sure that before we leave, I would make you mine! I will fck you repeatedly until you finally get that you belong to me!" he said throatily before his lips came down her neck again and even lower.
Brandon was undeniably a beast in bed not only an expert in kissing. His stubble added to the sexual excitement she was now feeling. The feel of his lips and the movement of his tongue on her skin was driving her crazy from desire.
Her body was on fire. As he kissed her, he was also letting out some sounds of strong desire. He was obviously enjoying what he is doing to her. However hard she wanted to control her desire , she couldn’t.
She couldn't suppressed the moan which escaped her lips though she wasn’t sure if it was out of fear, anticipation or excitement.
She held on his shoulders when his tongue swirled around one of her rosy peaks and his hand ripped her bikini.
“What….?” She squealed.
Chapter 8 Preview
Her eyes widened when her torn bikini slid down her smooth legs but she didn't say the word no. She mustn’t say that word.
She called his name in a breathy voice when he cupped her sex. He stopped sucking her npples because his lips found her mouth again.
"You are so wet baby!” he murmured between his kisses.
She squirmed and moaned his name when he slid his middle finger into her slit. He found her sensitive nub and stroked it. She had to bit her lower lip. Brandon uttered a pleasurable sound and his tongue swirled fast inside her mouth which sent thousands of unexplained pleasure to her. His finger was in her core as they kiss.
"Remove my towel baby,” he ordered against her skin of the side of her neck.
He was nibbling and sucking her skin. She liked what he was doing to her. His fingers were playing with her kitty, his lips are on her neck and was enjoying the carnal feeling she was having. She seemed to be under a spell.
Without hesitation, he did what he ordered her to do. With slightly trembling fingers, she shed the white towel which was around his waist.
He groaned and she caught her breath when he pushed his lower torso and his very hard member rubbed the upper part of her tummy. He again uttered a sound of pain and pleasure from the back of his throat. He tore his lips from her neck.
His fingers stopped playing with her clt and just cupped her. He was making her feel that she was his. All his. Both of them were breathing raggedly as they stared into each other’s eyes. He squeezed his hand on her pssy and she almost moaned.
"Baby what are you doing to me? You are driving me crazy!" he said as if in pain.
She felt that it was the right time to tell him that she was inexperienced. Maybe that would change his mind about popping her cherry. But at this point, she was unsure what she really wanted. A part of her wanted to say no but the other part wanted him.
"Can you feel me baby? Touch it!" he led her hand to his cck.
Her mouth felt dry. His member was massive. He uttered a sound when her hand touched him. She put a small distance between them so she could see it. She swallowed. Its texture was smooth and firm and it was thick and long. The walls of her core throbbed.
How will this monster enter her? She almost felt dizzy imagining.
Brandon chuckled when he saw her lovely face twisted a little. He kissed her lightly on the lips.
"Don't be afraid baby. Trust me! It will fit." he reassured her as he played with her left npple.
She darted him a dirty look. No wonder women fantasized about him. He gifted down there and he could easily give any woman pleasure since he was a manwhore. She wondered how many cherries he had popped already. With its size, she would break in half.
But holding it was a different story. Having him in her hand made her feel that she had full control of this very very bad boy. She could easily manipulate him. A woman like her had the power over a man like him.
Without realizing it, her hand began massaging his length which made him groan.
"Don't baby! I like what you’re doing but I am trying hard not to explode." he said in a pained voice.
"Ohh!" she moaned when she realized what she was doing. She hid a smile. She had him on the palm of her hand. She released his cck which proudly stood up as if it had a life of its own.
Brandon cursed under his breath before he cradled her face for a French kiss. She moaned. His manhood pressed against her midriff was so arousing. It was so hard against her skin.
"Spread your legs a little baby. I want to try something,” he ordered.
She didn't have the strength to protest so she did. One of his hands positioned his big thing between her inner thighs, right under her damp sex. She gasped in delight. Their private parts were touching and the sensation was mindblowing. He began to thrust forward and backward while his jumbo stick was in between her thighs He repeatedly did that. She held on his shoulders. Her legs feel like jelly. After several pushes and pulls, he halted.
"I need to stop now or I would come. I don’t want to waste any. I want it all inside you. When was your last period?" he asked.
"Tthree days ago."
He grinned. "Perfect," he whispered before he kissed her lips. Against his lips she protested and pushed him. Frowning, he tore his lips from hers.
"WHAT?!" he hissed. “I will take you tonight baby!" he said in a cold voice. He sounded dead serious.
She circled her tongue around her lips and lowered her eyes.
"I haven't done it before,” she confessed.
There was no instant reaction from him like she expected.
After a while, he framed her chin to raise her face. He did that very gently which was surprising. He had been rough with her awhile ago but after learning that she was a virgin, he was starting to treat her delicately. She swallowed when she saw his face. He was looking at her intensely.
“Is that true? I’m your first? " he asked with a slight frown.
She nodded and she saw him closed his eyes and cursed under his breath. A pang of regret came to her and she felt a little pain in her heart. He was probably disappointed. She lowered her eyes again. She didn’t want to see his expression any longer.
She didn’t want another rejection just like what Xander did to her when she told him that she was untouched. But at least Brandon now knew why she had been rejecting his advances.
Deep inside she didn’t want him to change his mind because he didn’t find her desirable anymore. Now her confidence was beginning to shatter again. He was a pervert but he simply didn’t want someone like her.
Her mother was right, no one would want her. She was unexciting and boring. Then she was surprised when he tightened his embrace and he let out a quick but satisfied light laugh. She raised her eyes. He looked so happy.
"I definitely don't deserve this but I am such a lucky bastard!" he said with a satisfied smile.
She chewed the inside of her cheek as she stared at his verygoodlooking feature.
"Do you know that I don't do virgins baby?" he asked almost like a whisper which made her frown a little.
"DDoes that mean you will not touch me?" she asked and tried to hide the disappointment in her voice. She felt so unwanted.
He smiled naughtily then shook his head.
"You are an exemption. It will give me a great pleasure popping your cherry baby. I promise that you will enjoy it after a little pain. I will be gentle. I will do my best…" he said sounding serious
She finally groaned. Maybe out of relief and a bit of fear. She knew that the first time was painful.
"I want to see your whole body baby..."
She automatically covered her shaved pssy with her hands. She couldn’t let him see it. It was enough that he touched it. He could see her boobs but it was fine with her. He touched, kissed and sucked them already while she was asleep. Her kitty was a different story.
"Remove your hands baby," he demanded while his eyes were narrowed.
She was about to say no but she remembered his threat. She just shook her head from side to side.
He sighed heavily. " You leave me no choice then." He said and moved closer to her and he grabbed her by the waist.
Like a sack of potatoes, he threw her over his shoulder. She hit his back with her fists.
"Put me down!!" she demanded but he ignored her.
He threw her onto the bed and she landed on her back. He opened a drawer near the bed.
"Don't you dare move baby or I won’t fck you gently though you’re a virgin!!" he warned.
She gasped and covered her kitty with her hands again. Her eyes widened when he got a pair of handcuffs from the drawer.
"What will you do with those?" she asked nervously as she sat on the bed.
"I warned you not to resist me! I should have done this while you were still sleeping!"
She tried to get out of the bed but he was too fast. He wrapped one of his arms around her waist from behind then handcuffed her.
His movements were calculated and quick. Her arms were on the headboard then she heard the click of the handcuff. She tried to kick him but he straddled her while he held her other arm above her head with his left hand.
“Let me go!”
"I won't! Not unless you stop resisting me!”
She finally decided to stop squirming and fighting when she saw his expression. Anyway she wanted this to happen too. She had to admit that she was ready to give herself to him. She bit her lip to suppress a cry. Her mind and body could never agree when it comes to this very bad boy.
"Baby I don't want to hurt you so don't piss me off." he said breathily and kissed her neck. His stubble on her skin was arousing.
His other hand was on her gem then his forefinger started playing with her clt which really made her lose her control. She released a sound of pleasure. She would enjoy this moment.
"I really want to see your beautiful body baby. It has been my dream since I saw you so this time, don't cover yourself," he said throatily.
"I will remove your handcuff but don't hide your body from me. Okay?" he asked in a gentler voice.
While holding her breath, she just nodded. She wanted him and this. She would submit to him then think about the consequences later. He slowly removed the cuffs and he looked at her naked body with desire. She shut her eyes to hide her embarrassment.
"I will taste every inch of your delicious body baby. You are sexy as hell." he said in a gruff voice.
She squirmed and opened her eyes when she felt his lips on her legs and went up. She closed her eyes again when his kisses went along her left thigh. She bit her lip when she felt his breath near her pssy. Then he separated her legs. She arched her back when his fingers went to her folds and his tongue swirled inside her slit. She couldn’t hold a moan of pleasure.
Brandon was also producing sounds of satisfaction and pleasure as he ate her. She is moving her head from side to side while her eyes were shut. She didn't know that this kind of feeling existed until now. She didn't expect that the man she hated at first sight is the one giving her such pleasure.
"Come on baby give it to me. I want to taste it, " he hoarsely said.
She gripped the side of the bed cover when his tongue's movement became quicker. Every stroke was making her moan his name. She called his name when he licked her clt. She felt voltages shot from her lower body to her toes.
He was sucking and licking it repeatedly. Then she felt something inside her exploded and her body trembled from ecstasy. He didn’t stop licking even when she felt all her juice flowed out.
Then at last, with one last slurping sound and long lick, he found his way up her body.
"Fck baby! You really are the sweetest and you’re mine! No one can do that to you but me! I won't have second thoughts of murdering anyone who will attempt to touch you! Do you hear me?! " he hissed.
She just nodded to avoid problems with him.
His eyes glinted with satisfaction. "Now I will take you and make you totally mine."
She swallowed the fear which resurfaced again.
"I will enter you slowly baby. Look at my eyes as I get inside of you. Don't think about the pain. It will be gone in a flash,” he said in a reassuring voice as he positioned himself between her legs.
She just nodded. The he pinned her arms above her head with one hand. He was supporting his weight with his other one so he won’t squish her.
"Open your mouth baby.." he demanded and she did.
His tongue entered her mouth while the tip of his shaft touched the entrance of her slit. He was breathing hard while his tongue devours her mouth. She moaned when slowly, he was edging his way inside her. She felt her walls stretched to accommodate his length.
"Stay still baby. Relax your muscles. You are too tight..." he murmured when he stopped kissing her. "Take a deep breath. I am going all the way.”
She bit her bottom lip.
With one single thrust he was able to go passed her hymen and she uttered a pained sound.
"Shh baby you are totally mine now!” he mumbled as he plunged deeper.
