~~~ Allaya ~~~
Unreasonably gorgeous eyes of grass color, plump lips that suck you into dreamland when they take the shape of his signature sexy smirk, honey like hair soft to the touch and a rock hard eight pack abs that possess the power to melt you into oblivion.
The handsome man I’m describing is my boyfriend Elijah, and though I never had a taste of the forbidden fruit, I’m drooling as I fantasize about him ravaging my body, turning me into a hot mess.
Today is his birthday and I finally made up my mind, I’m going to let him do all those wicked things to my body, those hot things he whispered into my ears every time we made out.
He’d been my boyfriend for over two years and had been nothing but patient with me, while I took my sweet time to decide if I’m going to do it or not.
My step sister and best friend, Elena, is right. She warned me that a man like Elijah would move on if I don’t decide to throw out my innocence and indulge into the original sin. And I’m not blind to not notice those girls of low virtue that keep sending him tireless signals of availability.
I’m not waiting anymore, I think I love him enough to be intimate with him. As for him, he proved his loyalty and he already professed his love for me.
A smile breaks wide on my face.
Tonight.
It will happen tonight.

I know I seemed determined this morning, but as minutes turned into hours, my resolve grew thinner and now I am even hyperventilating. Emotions are getting the best out of me, I’m only human after all.
I halt my steps and inhale deeply, giving myself a pep talk before I enter the nightclub, a business his family owns.
‘Allaya Edwards, you can do this!’ My eyes shut down for a few seconds as I struggle to get air into my lungs. ‘No, YOU WILL DO THIS and you will enjoy it! Period!’
Pushing the club doors open, I march towards his office on the first floor, ignoring the lascivious once-overs I receive on my way.
I blame those on my outfit, a black mini dress that hugs my body in all the right places, showing a bit of cleavage and making my ass appear rounder than it really is.
It’s not like me to wear something so revealing, but I was giving my best to look like an enchantress, though I know I’m far from being one. In fact, I’m just hiding my insecurities under a fancy dress and heavy makeup and it’s working.
I pass past Elijah’s best friend and ignore him. Why should I bother with him when he never bothered to hide his disapproval regarding my love life? Who was he anyway to tell me that I should dump my boyfriend and find a better man?
“Allaya, wait! Don’t go inside!” Eduard grips my wrist, stopping me in my tracks.
I remove myself from his hold. If I do this, if I don’t enter now, my determination is going to falter, it has already grown thinner with every step I took.
I raise my hand at him. “No worries, Eduard, I have Elijah’s permission to enter his office whenever I want!”
Thump.
Thump.
THUMP.
THUMP!!!
It’s time.
My pulse is on overdrive as I touch the doorknob. ‘Just open it, Allaya! Don’t you dare cower now!’
My senses are on high alert, for no reason in particular. Or perhaps it has something to do with Eduard’s weird behavior. Did he manage to make me a more nervous mess than I was before?
Damn you, Eduard! I turn around to fire a lethal glare at him only to meet his guilty regard, which I dismiss, I don’t have the mood to guess what he’s up to. I gulp down the lump in my throat and slowly open the door to Elijah’s office.
Nothing prepares me for what I find inside, and it’s the moment my heart stops. I feel a sharp pain in my chest watching the scene unfolding in front of me. It’s as if someone ripped the heart from my ribcage and stabbed the poor organ with a million dagger before leaving it to bleed out.
Elijah is cheating on me.
I believed he loved me.
I trusted him.
I defended him.
My ‘loyal boyfriend’ has a blonde bimbo on her hands and knees on his couch and he is plunging in and out of her from the behind, both of them groaning in ecstasy. The air is gut-churning, it’s reeking like alcohol, sweat and sex combined.
“Aaaahhhh, Elijah, there… You know how I like it! Yeah, don’t stop, I’m almost there!” She whispers through her moans, her voice sounding oddly unfamiliar. My brain is playing tricks on me, it must be from the shock.
“Just shut up and take what I give you!” He pulls her hair, his thrusts turning rougher, making her scream his name louder.
No, this cannot be happening to me. My eyes stung with tears, I feel the urge to turn around and run like a coward, but my body refuses to cooperate with my brain. I’m stuck, frozen on the spot.
I wish his office would not be soundproof, I wished I heard the sex noise from outside as a warning not to enter the room. I wish I would have paid attention to Eduard earlier. I wish… I wish I could just vanish into thin air.
But now it’s too late. Now I know.
I slam the door behind me and wait for them to register my presence.
They both flinch and turn around in shock. Reality hits me hard, like thunder and lightning all together. The blonde bimbo is none other than Elena, my beloved step sister and best friend.
