Chapter 561 – Beginning with a Daring Encounter

While Sonia was still frowning at Bryan’s back, his parents’ cab pulled to a stop behind theirs. Evelyn and Desmond had asked their driver to take Bryan and Sonia home in their car while they left the airport in a cab since too much attention would be drawn to them all if someone spotted either Bryan or Sonia.

“You’re welcome home, Sony,” Desmond said with a wide smile as he went to join her.

“Your home looks lovely. And it’s much bigger than I expected,” Sonia said, and both Desmond and Evelyn smiled.

“It’s Eve’s dream house.”

“This was his wedding gift to me. Although, we’ve worked on the place a couple of times over the years to keep it modern,” Evelyn told her proudly, and Desmond smiled.

“Where is Bryan?” Evelyn asked, and Sonia jerked her head toward the direction which Bryan had taken.

“He took the bags in,” Sonia said as she took the hand Desmond extended and let him lead her into the house while Evelyn followed behind them.

“Are you very exhausted or could you accompany us to see Andrew and Janet? I will love to pay them a surprise visit. I’ve missed Janet so much,” Evelyn said with a wide smile when they got to the foot of the stairs, and Sonia smiled as she turned to her.

“Right now?” She asked wondering if Evelyn wasn’t exhausted.

Evelyn shrugged, “Right after we freshen up. You and Bryan are leaving tomorrow, are you not?” She asked, and Sonia gave her a nod.

“Most likely. We will leave as soon as I’m able to finish up all I’m doing here. I have to meet with my editor and speak with a movie producer, and then I have to take care of my apartment.”

“That means you have to take us there today if you don’t mind,” Evelyn pleaded.

“She has been going on and on about seeing Janet and telling her about our date,” Desmond said, and Sonia smiled, while Evelyn rolled her eyes.

“As if you’re not dying to see Andrew yourself,” Evelyn said with a snort as she walked past them, “I need to use the restroom. Let me know when you’re ready, dear,” Evelyn said to Sonia before walking away to her bedroom, leaving her alone with Desmond.

“Are you alright? You were noticeably absentminded all through the flight. I noticed my boy trying to catch your attention a couple of times but you seemed distracted,” Desmond observed, and Sonia smiled.

It seemed like nothing ever got past the man.

“I’m fine. I was just trying to figure out something,” Sonia said, and Desmond gave her a nod.

“Try not to let whatever it is take all your attention from things that matter to you. Every minute spent can’t be retrieved whether you spent it doing something you love or not. Every time spent is a memory, and in the next minute, this also will become a memory. Always try to find a balance between what’s going on inside you, and what’s going on around you,” Desmond advised as they continued up the stairs.

“You are so full of wisdom,” Sonia said with a small smile, “I might just stay back here with you so I can tap some more from your well of wisdom,” Sonia said with a teasing smile, and Desmond chuckled.

“Don’t let Bryan hear you say that. That’s his bedroom,” he said, pointing to a door down the hallway.

“I will try to freshen up quickly and see if Bryan would come with us,” Sonia said, and Desmond gave her a nod before walking away.

Once Sonia got to the bedroom, she frowned when she realized that Bryan was in the shower. Why was he bathing without her when they had made it a habit to always shower together?

Sonia walked over to the door, “How can you shower without me?” She asked from the doorway, but Bryan ignored her as he continued to lather his body with soap.

Seeing that he was bent on ignoring her, Sonia locked the bedroom door and took off her clothes before joining him in the shower.

Immediately she approached him, Bryan turned his back to her, “You are going to catch a cold,” he told her grudgingly, reminding her that she needed to cover her hair.

“So you are talking to me now? No longer stuffing your ear with your airpod or ignoring me?” Sonia asked as she wrapped both arms around his waist and kissed his back.

“Don’t do that,” Bryan said grudgingly wanting to finish up quickly and leave, but she held on and slowly began to glide both hands up and down his body.

While one hand went up his abdomen, the other went to his groin, and Bryan sucked in a breath when she grabbed his cock, making it jerk in her hand.

“Why not?” Sonia asked in a husky whisper as she moved her hand up and down the entire length of it.

“I don’t…” Bryan tried to speak but couldn’t concentrate because all the blood in his brain had gathered in his groin.

“You don’t what?” She asked in a sultry voice as she walked around him and came to stand in front of him without letting go of his cock.

“Sonia…” Bryan swallowed when she went on her knees in front of him and kissed the tip of his cock while looking into his eyes.

“Let’s fuck and make up,” she suggested, but Bryan was not having that. His ego was more important to him at the moment than sex. He didn’t want to be used or feel so.

“No. I don’t want to. Just… stop,” Bryan said, trying to keep his head straight, despite the distraction of her hand on his cock, and Sonia reluctantly let go of it.

“Have you called Celsie yet?” He asked, and Sonia shook her head as she stood to face him.

“I believe Celsie can wait. But this can’t wait,” Sonia said, but Bryan shook his head as he stepped away from her.

“I don’t think so. You should call her first. That way I don’t have to worry about you zoning out halfway while I make love to you,” Bryan said in a tight voice wanting to turn away, but Sonia held his hand.

“Did I hurt your feelings that much?” She asked with a frown.

Bryan turned away, not wanting her to see the hurt in his eyes. For someone like him who was used to being the center of attention, he had felt more than a little bit hurt by her behavior earlier especially since he had really wanted to clear some doubts he was having. Her behavior had only made it worse.

“Bryan?” Sonia called as she cupped his face in her hands and held him so she could look into his face.

“It’s nothing,” Bryan said without meeting her gaze.
