Heart Hunting

Kenny seemed to take note that her mind was drifting, he let go of her lips and muttered a demand. “Focus.”

She reflected, wrapped her arms around his neck, wet his lips with her kiss. Kenny cradled her at the waist and held the back of her head with his hand. Poppy felt secure in those strong arms of Kenny’s. Kenny soon took dominance, their tongues tangling fiercely.

Their passion was so fervent that it seemed to set the air around them afire, sparks crackling. Slowing, Kenny moved his lips away from Poppy’s and all the way down to her lady garden. Right at that moment, he pressed her body on the bed.

For long had he been waiting for this moment, and now he finally seized it.

Lying beside Poppy after they were done, Kenny felt fulfilled and a little surprised.

Poppy was still a virgin before he took her, he would’ve never believed that.

This is the best moment of my life, Kenny thought as he stared at the girl lying asleep beside him. He wished he could just be with her forever.

Everything was put back on track then, Poppy resumed the work.

A few days later, Poppy had an unwelcome guest, Bryant Green.

Poppy ignored him though she had let him in. Bryant was embarrassed.

“Poppy,” finally, he started, “That thing I talked to you about…”

“I gave you my terms. I’ll hold my promise, you’ll have nothing from me without divorcing.” She said expressionlessly.

Bryant left without uttering another sound.

He went back to the company and made an outrageous decision after a review of account books of the company.

I’m going to sink or swim. He decided. He’s going to take all the money and flee out of the border with Susan. And he would be free of the debts by then.
