Chapter 30 Call me at anytime
Loney was expectant. He couldn't wait to hear what Danica had to say to him. "Go ahead." Then, he recalled something and said, "Just a minute, I'll be right back." Danica sat back on the sofa while he strode out of the room to the truck and returned, a box in hand. "This is for you. You don't have to go through Paul to speak with me anymore."
Even before she opened the box, she could tell by his word that it was a phone. Something tickled inside her. It was more than just appreciation. It was more of a connection. 'Does he feel the same way I feel about him?' She was in a daze. "Thank you," she muttered, her face lit. Her hand shook slightly with excitement, as she took out the phone from the box. This could only mean one thing, that Loney was beginning to trust her.
However, Loney noticed her excitement and knew she might be thinking of calling her friend and especially when he recalled them speaking through Dr Jeff's phone with a J word they mentioned which he guessed to be a name, he couldn't help being possessive and said, "don't get too excited. It's locked to everyone else for now."
Danica didn't care. Her lips twirled. First, he allowed Herty to come and see her. Now, he gave her direct access to himself. Her heart warmed at the thought. "Still, thank you," she said to Loney, as he props himself on the sofa beside her. It was the first time they got this casual and Danica didn't want it to end.
"So, what did you want to tell me?" Loney gave her his full attention. His expression was casual. No smile, no frown. His gaze pierced into hers, she froze. Loney was being pleasant to her today. She enjoyed it and didn't want it to end. She feared that her confession might ruin his mood. Besides, they were supposed to have another intimate session. What if it got affected by the news? She decided to wait till the session was over and rather said, "I wanted to thank you for letting Herty come over."
Loney was not a relationship expert but he could discern there was more. "I'm glad you were happy but is that all?"
"Yes," Danica nodded her head in affirmation. Loney was still expressionless so she couldn't affirm whether he believed her or not. There was an awkward silence as Loney said, "I will go and shower. You can wait in my room."
Danica didn't argue and followed him. She sat on the couch in his room as he entered the shower. She began to explore the phone he gave her. It looked expensive and it was white her favourite colour. She wondered if Loney knew or if it was merely a coincidence.
A few minutes later, Loney was out of the shower. His hair was still wet and he was just in his boxers. Danica's eyes travelled to his V-section, just below his waist. His stomach was flat but muscled into packs of six. Danica bit her lower lip, as naughty thoughts began to evade her mind. "Are you ready?" Loney's deep alluring voice sparked sensations in her body.
"yes." Danica dropped the phone and stood up. She wanted to initiate it this time around but shyness swallowed her.
Loney strode to the light switch as he said, "I hope you've been counting the days. Let me know when it's time to stop. I don't want to take advantage of you," he turned off the light. What he meant was, he was sorry for taking advantage of her when he thought she was Daniella but naturally, Danica didn't understand it that way. His words rang deeply in her mind, capturing her thoughts. She wished it would never end but she also realized that Loney was serious with the contract. She appreciated the darkness, as Loney couldn't see the sad expression on her face.
"We still have a week. Then we pause for two weeks, after which I take the test." Loney's hands wrapped around her from behind as she spoke. She stiffened at the thought that it would soon be over. How could she live without this vicious pleasure he always gave her.
"Are you alright?" Loney's voice was deep but the alluring effect was greater at the feel of her in his arms. He wanted to make use of every single minute he had with her. He only had a week more.
"Yes," she eventually responded, as Loney's hands trailed her back and unzipped her dress. "You are tensed. We can let this night go and try again tomorrow." Loney thought she was uncomfortable but she was just menacing on how she was going to carry on without seeing him after the pregnancy. The thought scared her, talkless of him knowing Daniella was her twin, she decided to close her mind and enjoy the moment.
"No, I'm ready," Danica instinctively turned around, stood on her toes and planted her lips on his, her tongue begging entrance. Loney allowed her entrance as his big arms wrapped around her. Danica runs her hands in his hair, as Loney unhooked her bra. She was still tense and Loney knew it. Therefore he wanted to be gentle, much more gentle. Besides, he hadn't figured out the source of the threat therefore, his mind travelled a little bit.
He moved his hand under her butt and carried her, her legs wrapped him, as he dropped her on the bed, and took his position on top of her. He began kissing every inch of her body, down to her stomach. He parted her legs and knelt beside her, his head between her open thighs. Danica was embarrassed, as he pulled down her pant, his tongue filling the walls of her hole. She wanted to change from that position but his two hands held her open thighs firmly in place. The emanated pleasure shoved her out of her embarrassed state as she moaned his name. Unknown to her, this wasn't the first time Loney did that to her. She was just usually asleep during those times.
It wasn't long when her muscles began to tighten as jolts of pleasure shove through her, making her release, her breathing turning heavy. She wanted to please him the way he did her but she was already tired. She was drained by the release. It was immense. Loney covered her lips with his, making her taste herself, as he thrust deep into her without warning. He went deeper into her, his manhood swelling inside her, stretching her walls. Danica let out another moan. His thrusts in and out were all gentle, Danica's hands found their way around his waist, pressing him closer to her. The feel of his warm skin on hers as he sucked her neck, not forgetting to leave his signature hickey.
There was a glint in Loney's eyes. He realized she was responding better and he liked it. Thus, all that was heard were their moans. Loney's movements were soft but each thrust went so deep, he hit her G-spot. Danica began to shake, having another release. Loney released deep inside her, panting as he collapsed on top of her. They slept that way till dawn when Loney's phone rang, waking him. It was Gideon. Loney stood and dressed up immediately.
Danica woke up due to the sound of his movements. He dropped the phone to dress up as it lit up. Curiously, Danica saw the caller ID before he reached it. It was Marie. Her heart pined. She wanted to ask who Marie was but lacked the confidence. After a few words, Loney ended the call and said, "I have to attend to some emergency. Call me at any time."
Danica nodded and he left, her sadness buried inside, she wouldn't let it show lest she offended him. Somehow, she wished he would stay longer but he was always eager to leave in the morning. She couldn't help thinking about what he does that made him so busy. At least she was sure that he wasn't married but could she also ascertain that he didn't have a girlfriend, she had her wish and saw him yet, she still didn't know him. It was a great mystery she couldn't unravel.
On his way, he called Gideon again. "Who is it?"
"The governor. He requests to meet you." Loney wasn't surprised. Such a staunch could only be pulled by a high profile personality. However, it was just courtesy for him to answer the call to such a person. He drove alone to the Governor's house, as Gideon had explained his request. There were no bodyguards, not even under the shadows and he carried no weapons. It was supposed to be a peaceful meeting.
The governor, Maxwell Hayze, discharged all bodyguards and servants as soon as Loney arrived. He ushered Loney to his private lounge, opened a bottle of wine and served him. Loney was stunned. He had heard so much about Governor Maxwell but had never met him personally. He knew the man could be as smooth as honey, yet deadly as the venom of a scorpion. Regardless, he couldn't trust the latter completely. He knew that most massive government projects attracted both friends and enemies. Friends, he kept at bay but enemies...
"I prefer to celebrate after achieving success," Loney politely rejected the wine and announced, when the governor encouraged him to drink.
"This is a friendly meeting, there is no need to be diplomatic," Governor Maxwell curly said. There was no show of disappointment on tbr face of the middle-aged man. He wasn't surprised at Loney's reaction. He knew that Loney was talented but also had the mafia on his neck. Still, he couldn't understand how Loney could appear so calm. How did he keep the mafia away?
Loney could only perceive that a meeting like this will only define two things. Either the governor wanted him to drop a project or do something he might not want to do. "Every meeting, whether casual or business, is a serious one and must be given the same attention."
"Let's get to business then," Governor Maxwell said after careful thought. He was in his late forties and a widower. He picked a handset on the centre table and spoke into it. A few minutes later, a young lady, aged not more than twenty. Fair flawless skin, beautiful and proud, walked in and took a seat beside Loney. Loney shifted uncomfortably to her displeasure. To hide her dissatisfaction, the lady gently placed her hand on his lap, "relax, I don't bite."
Loney did not speak and neither did he spare her a glance. Governor Maxwell spoke, "My terms are simple. I shouldn't be doing this but it's my only choice. My daughter has never taken interest in any man but as soon as she laid eyes on you at the presidency, she hasn't stopped talking about you. In a nutshell, she is obsessed with you."
Loney's expression was neutral. He didn't speak immediately. Moreover, it wasn't the first time women threw themselves at him but what amazed him was how a high profile man could shamelessly give in to his daughter's demands. He patiently waited for later to continue. "So, I propose that you make this a love union. Both of you are single and that would be perfect. In return, I will keep all those mafias off your back and also give you all the government construction contracts. So what is your stand?"
