Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate novel Chapter 10

Relief wiped over Paul. He was in high spirits and waited for his best friend. He had spoken to him on the phone for a long time but it's been over two years since he saw Loney face to face. Nonetheless, hours passed and Loney had not arrived. Paul's eyes were heavy, as sleep stole him. All was quiet in the mansion with almost everyone asleep. There were just a few guards around. 

Loney left the field exhausted after supervising the repairs of some of his machines which had been attacked by Ray's spies. He intended to deal with Ray instantly but due to the threat he received from Danica through Paul, he decided to go over to the mansion. His only need at the moment was a child to inherit all he had toiled for. If that didn't happen, then everything goes to charity. However, when he recalled the first time he saw Daniella in college, his mind instantly went into a confused mode. Daniella was beautiful and bubbly. The guys loved her and Loney was obsessed with her yet he couldn't approach her.  

He was already working part-time and schooling. Therefore, he always appeared miserable and poor since he couldn't afford expensive clothes. Even though he was strong, his appearance was rather unappealing. However, after two years in college, he couldn't hold it in any longer and seized the opportunity when he met Daniella at the beach.

Flashback

It was a sunny summer day and Daniella was sunbathing at the beach. Loney bumped into her accidentally. 

"I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going."

Daniella pulled herself away from Loney and forced a smile. She was wearing a white bikini with sunglasses that gave her an alluring look. "It's fine, don't worry about it. I was just leaving and I wasn't watching too."

Loney was lost for words. It was the first time he had the opportunity to speak with Daniella and he didn't want to let it pass. He was wearing white shorts and loose white shirts with the front buttons open. One might have thought they planned to wear white. "But I'm still sorry."

Daniella was getting upset and her tone was getting harsh. "You already apologized and I said don't worry."

Loney wasn't angered but rather looked on in admiration, "Can I speak to you for a moment?"

"About what? Daniella took off her sunglasses, instantly recognizing Loney. Suddenly, she felt disgusted talking to him. "You look familiar."

Loney was excited that Daniella acknowledged him. "Yes, we attend the same college. It's me, Loney Hubert."

A frown crept on Daniella's face, after having the conviction that he was the one. She slowly wore her sunglasses and turned to leave. "Oh, that guy who always wears the same shirt. I remember. Goodbye."

"Daniella!" Loney called her back.

"What?" She turned around with a disgusted look, hidden under her sunglasses.

"I want to speak with you. I mean, I always sort the chance but never succeed because there are always so many guys around you," Loney confessed.

"It's not unusual for a pretty girl to have many guys around her right?" Daniella sounded prideful.

"Yes, but you are very beautiful," Loney confirmed.

Daniella was upset. She liked the rich guys and only associated with the likes of them. Talking to Loney felt like losing her image and she didn't like it. Therefore, her words were prideful and harsh. "I know that already."

Loney didn't care about her attitude. Being able to speak to her, gave him satisfaction."Can we have a drink together later in the day or maybe tomorrow?" 

Daniella couldn't take it anymore. She felt disgusted talking to him and yet, he wanted to take her out. She wanted to hide from the embarrassment. "Are you in your right mind? Like are you seriously asking me out on a date? That is an insult. You should get someone at your level. Your appearance and everything about you is just disturbing and trust me, your presence is so irritating."

Daniella walked away after uttering those words, not knowing that Loney was never able to get out of the web of those words. They covered him and kept ringing in his head, anytime he saw her in college. Therefore he dropped out of school.

End of flashback.

Loney sauntered to his room to take a shower and put on his pajamas. As soon as he stepped out of his door, he met Mabel.

"What are you doing awake?" Loney said in a whisper.

"I felt movements so I came out to see."

Loney took a deep breath. "You can go back to sleep then." 

"I still have some food. Please make yourself comfortable in the dining room while I will warm it up for you," Mabel offered. 

Loney did not refuse her. It wasn't frequently that he ate a home-cooked meal. Besides, he treated Mabel as a mother. "Thank you."

When Loney tasted the food, he knew it was different. He had eaten Mabel's food twice and this didn't seem like her cooking. It tasted like a meal he had in a restaurant. "Who prepared this?"

Mabel understood his reason and abruptly responded, "me of course, I've been polishing my skills." She was afraid of getting fired if Loney found out that Danica had been cooking.

"It's delicious. How is she?"

Mabel didn't ask. She could tell that Loney was asking about his surrogate. "She's always asking about you."

Loney nodded quietly. His lips curled into a smile. "And what do you tell her?"

"That you would tell her everything when she sees you."

"Good."

"How long has she been asleep?"

"About an hour."

"Okay. Thank you for the food," Loney wiped the corners of his mouth and stood away from the dining table.

"Will you need anything else?"

"No, please have some rest."

Mabel was already tired so she didn't ask any more questions. "Goodnight."

Loney strode to Danica's room and gently pushed the door open. The room was dark but he didn't turn on any light. He waited for a few minutes for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. He saw the figure sleeping on his stomach on the bed, and was enthralled.

He strode closer and memories began to flood in. The times when he thought that Daniella would be his to the time he realized that their path will never cross again. Then the news of her death and her resurfacing as Danica. He wondered if Danica was pretending. Why did she fake her death, he couldn't understand and neither could he ask her. He couldn't even let her know who he was. Indeed, he has physically changed so much but his heart hadn't. 

He thought he had forgotten her and let go but the more he stared at the figure, the more he realized just how much he was drawn to her. He removed the blanket covering her and Danica turned to the side. Her dreamy movement was graceful. Loney traced his fingers on her silky nightdress. It was one of the favorite items he picked up himself. Everything Danica wore in the mansion, unknowingly, was picked by him. Danica did not move. He could tell that she was deep in sleep. He took off his pajamas and removed her silky nightdress. 

Her white skin shone under the darkness. He laid beside her and traced his hands around her smooth hairless skin. He felt her move slightly and knew she was awake but her eyes were still closed. His fingers found her erect breast and hard nipple. "mmmmmmmm," a moan escaped Danica. She was responding to his touch but her eyes were closed. 

His lips found hers and instinctively, she wrapped her arms around him, deepening the kiss. Loney broke from the kiss and nibbled on her ears. He couldn't recall much about the first time they had sex because he was drunk so this seemed like a first time to him. His skin felt warm around Danica's as he parted her thighs open. His hand found its way down her entrance. He caught her nipple in his mouth and sucked slowly, his finger pushed through her core. He felt her wetness, and slowly lowered himself into her. A growl escaped him as her tightness pulled him in. Danica could feel a weight on her but it was a pleasant one, with a calming scent of expensive cologne. Her moan increased, as Loney's length filled her. She pulled him tighter, as a slandering pleasure emanated through her. She felt her body vibrate from the climax. 

Loney didn't want it to end and took his time but his body couldn't hold it in anymore. He tried to hold back but came all together, releasing his seed inside her. A satisfactory smile crept onto his face, as he looked admiringly at Danica, who had drifted back to sleep. He covered her naked form with the blanket and put on his pajamas. Slowly, he ambled out of her room and went back to his, dressed up, and left the mansion before the break of dawn.

Danica slept longer than expected. However, when she woke up naked, she knew that the intended parent had come. His expensive cologne still lingered in the room. The only problem was, she couldn't remember clearly. From her state, wetness and all, she knew that the seed had been planted and only had to wait patiently for it to germinate. The whole experience seemed to her like a dream and she couldn't remember his face. 

Nevertheless, she couldn't stop herself from thinking of the reason why the intended parent came when she was sleeping. She felt that it wasn't a coincidence but rather planned. Therefore, she feared, as the thought of his reason for being so secretive about his identity crept to her mind. 

She decided to get to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. At least, that would take her mind off the strange experience.

When she stepped out of her room and descended the stairs, she was surprised to see that James was already eating. She searched and met Mabel's eyes. "Why didn't you wake me?"

"Master told me to let you rest. Now you can't keep stressing yourself. You need to rest and be nourished to take the first test in two weeks. Danica's cheeks began to blush red in embarrassment. Everyone knew something happened last night, which made her uncomfortable. Still, she didn't give up cooking.

"Cooking is my only exercise now. A pregnant woman would need it too."

At Loney's office, he became increasingly panicked and began to call Paul to find out how Danica was doing. He hoped that the seed he planted would begin to germinate. However, when it was night, he sought solace in a hotel. According to the agreement, they could only meet once a month. Therefore, he couldn't get close to Danica till then. Still, she lingered in his mind and he was just captivated. He felt a connection. They didn't just have sex as he did with other girls. He was passionate about it and he wanted more of it yet, he had to keep to the contract. 

He made his bodyguards arrange for girls for him as usual, to take his mind off Danica but strangely, he felt repulsed by their presence and couldn't bring himself to touch them. He wondered what was happening to him. He no longer felt like himself. Something seemed to have changed about him.
