Chapter 77 Chapter 77
Selena
I moaned, my eyes fluttering open at the sun that kissed gently against my cheeks.
It was different—the interior. It wasn't where I was last night, where he and I had spent the night.
“Hmm,” Hotness spread all over my cheeks as I recalled everything from last night. I looked down at my body, only to groan.
“God,”
Red marks spread all over my chest, down to my breast, and on my nipples.
And there was my naked body.
I pulled the white blanket over myself. What if someone enters, I couldn't risk it……But the biggest of it all, was that…
I have done it.
A smile crept to my face.
Last night was spectacular. One that I wasn't going to forget, just like Theodore said or should I say, Theo.
He had asked me to call him Theo.
“Theo,” I whispered, his name flowing out smoothly, so smoothly that my heart started to ache.
I placed my hand on my chest rubbing it.
What does it feel like that way?
Last night, a part of me had expected him to be ruthless. He was one to be, but he wasn't.
But somehow, I felt like he was struggling. Maybe it was because I felt it all over his face. the tight grip on his facial muscles when I touched him. The groan he let out each time he thrust, his hold on me like he was restraining himself.
Last night was the greatest I have ever had. Not like I have had any good ones before, but there was something unspoken about how he held me like he was afraid of hurting me.
“I have started again. How could that be? I’m sure he was just being nice because I panicked, Nothing else.” I scolded, looking at the brown wall of the room.
‘This is what I always say, you are slow-witted. You think he cares?’
I rolled my eyes at the voices. “Say whatever you want. You are just in my head anyway. How dare you criticize me? You are dumb yourself.” I murmured the last part and it felt good.
Maybe I should do it more.
I moved to get down from the bed.
“Oohh,” Pain resonated all over my waist, down to my sex, making me sit back.
Theodore may have been caring last night, but he didn't stop after a go. Somehow I had lost track of the rounds, and being blindfolded made it worse, but Theo had made it clear he wasn't going to take it off.
But it wasn't bad. Maybe I loved being blindfolded.
My eyes shifted to the end of the bed and stopped at the veil at the edge.
I grazed my lips, a smile sliding out.
Then the reason I was here in the first place flashed in.
“Josh.”
My eyes snapped up.
Josh was still in prison.
How could I have gotten so carried away that I didn't think of it first after waking?
“I’m so useless.” I rushed down, ignoring the pain that spread through my ass.
“Where could my phone be?” I moved to the nightstand. It wasn't there. I looked around the room.
How could I be so relaxed when Josh was still in that cruel place?
God, please forgive me.
I ran my hand through my hair, then my eyes settled on the pillow. I rushed to it and raised it.
There it was, resting without a care. Sometimes I wish technology would be able to trace your phone.
I grabbed it and dialed Josh’s number.
What if Theodore didn't make the call? What if Josh was still there?
I moved around the room with my free hand at my waist, blanket covering my naked frame.
“Please pick,” I muttered. What could be delaying? It couldn’t be that he was still locked and his phone was taken by the officers.
“Hello Selena,”
“Oh my God.” My eyes sting as Josh’s voice echoes from the phone.
“Josh,” I murmured, too afraid to speak up, my heart heavy as I listened to him breathe.
“Tell me you are out? God Josh,” I placed my hand on my forehead.
I felt like shit, and mostly I wanted to snap at him. Snap at him, because fuck, I felt like I was going to lose it last night. I had thought I would never see him again.
Tears flowed down my face.
He said something, but I couldn’t hear him.
“Come again, what did you say?” I sniffed, cleaning my face.
“I’m sorry.” He spoke, his voice low. “I’m sure you were so worried last night. I’m sorry.” He stopped then continued.
“Things grew out of control and then…Fuck, I don’t even know what happened, and when I woke up, I was tied, officers all over me. I seriously didn’t do anything, Selena.” He spoke fast, so fast that I couldn’t understand his words.
“Did you do it? You said you were going to stay with your friend, so how come you were charged for drugs? When did it happen? I can’t believe that you would do that, you are never one to do such a thing…”
If I hated ourfather for being my father, Josh hated everything that turned father, and that includes drugs. So how could he?
“Believe me, sister.”
And that word seized my heart because Josh was being serious when he called that way.
He sighed, “look Selena, I know this may sound confusing, but I was framed. And the cops must have figured this out, because I was released last night. But for some reason, my phone was taken from me till this morning.”
Yeah. He would think they figured it out. It was better he thought that way. It was better than knowing that his dear sister sold her body for him to be released.
I inhaled, gladness shrugging my heart. “Why were you there? I have always told you to be careful. What if the cops didn’t find out? How was I going to live without you?” I scolded, my voice turning stern.
He grew quiet and then said, “I’m sorry.”
How could I be mad at him when he was the one who was locked up?
“I..I just wanted to take a walk and then I saw some men moving suspiciously so I followed them, only to blank out. I’m sorry. I shouldn't have caused you to worry, especially since you left for work.”
I swallowed. It seemed the officers didn't inform him of my visit. Well, it was better he wasn’t told.
“Please be careful, Josh. Please.” I whispered a plea.
A knock sounded from the room, and my eyes snapped to it.
“I’ll from now on, I’m sorry.”
I nodded, my heart stilling, relief washing all over me.
“And Selena,”
“Hmm?”
“Please stay away from your boss, Theodore.” His voice deepened.
My heart skipped out of fear. “I ..”
The door opened, and Svetlana stepped in. “Young Madam, you are awa…”
“I’ll speak to you later, Josh.” I ended the call immediately.
“You should take your bath madam, I’ll take the sheets for laundry.”
