After She She Stopped Loving Him

Ian gazed at her, his whole body taut with anticipation. “Just say the word when you’re ready.”

Yolanda opened her eyes, a dazed look overtaking her face, utterly unaware of just how enchanting she was at that moment.

He loved seeing her like this–like a rose past its peak, her scent sinking deep into his bones.

Right now, Yolanda didn’t mind clinging a bit closer, nuzzling her cheek against his neck.

Ian flashed an aggrieved grin, a hint of desperation in his voice. “You never thought of pampering me for once?”

Yolanda’s lashes fluttered playfully as she teasingly stuck out her tongue. “Like this, huh?”

Ian felt like his whole body was about to combust. Flustered, he slapped a hand over her mouth. “Spare me, Yolanda… Please!”

Yolanda’s eyes clouded with doubt, totally baffled by his sudden surrender.

‘Wait, wasn’t this exactly what he asked for?‘ Yolanda wondered.

Ian couldn’t help but bury his face against her neck in a rush, his fingers trembling as they covered her mouth.

Yolanda was like a temptress–completely irresistible in every way, yet her eyes stayed startlingly innocent.

“Ian, I… I think I can try…” Yolanda murmured, her voice carrying a hint of shy determination.

She figured she could learn, though it wasn’t easy for her. Honestly, she’d never even come close to being this vulnerable with Charles before–it was hard for her to just let go like this.

Still, what woman could resist having a guy as gorgeous as Ian totally losing his composure over her? Yolanda felt a rush of satisfaction she’d never quite experienced before.

Late at night, Simone Sinclair called Yolanda.

“Charles just got home and realized you weren’t there. He called me, and I told him you were with me. Now he’s actually driving over to pick you up,” Simone said.

Yolanda thought she must’ve misheard.

She checked the time–it was almost one a.m. ‘Seriously, has he lost his mind?‘ Yolanda wondered.

Yolanda frowned as Simone kept talking on the other end. “Yolanda, maybe you should just go over to Charles’s place first?”

Yolanda gritted her teeth in annoyance. ‘Didn’t Joelle come back already? Wasn’t she supposed to take care of this?‘
