3 One Night

Stephen grabbed Keira closer to him, while Keira carefully placed her hands at the back of Stephen's neck as if she's inviting him closer. Keira can feel the heat coming off their body like steam she can't contain.

His kiss was passionate, seeking, exploring Keira, something that nobody dared explore before. He tried parting Keira's lips with his tongue; she did not know what to do. Despite that, she let him teach her.

Stephen's hands seemed like they had a journey of their own, firmly holding and exploring Keira's body. One of his hands was supporting Keira's head while they were kissing; the other hand entered her clothes, trying to discover more of Keira's body.

Everything that's happening was new for Keira. She was nervous and excited at the same time;

"Am I really doing this tonight with this stranger?"

These were the minor battles inside her mind that were not hard to fight at all, considering how she raked her fingers thru his hair like a mad woman pulling him closer to her.

It filled her thoughts with questions. She wanted to feel loved tonight; she wants this man in front of her. Is it just because of alcohol? Is it the same for him?

Her desire to explore the feelings that grew on her right at this moment is what she wants. Instead of opposing, she let out groans that only made the man in front of her more excited.

Slowly Stephen laid Keira down on the sofa, still kissing her as he was on top of her. He kissed her neck, down to her chest, while one by one both their clothes are already on the floor.

Keira was sent back to earth when she felt Stephen's readiness. She pushed him off her… her action surprised him, but he respected her decision.

He moved away from Keira.

She sat and hugged both her knees to cover up herself; she looked like she was in a daze.

"I'm sorry if I took it too far." Stephen was apologetic, but his warrior was still standing proud as if he did not hear his master has already retreated from war.

"It's not your fault; I wanted this too, I'm just a little scared because this is my first time," Keira admitted in a whisper.

"I understand, I did not mean to scare you." Stephen was looking down while fixing his hair, which Keira messed up pretty badly earlier.

Keira found his actions so seductive that she went up to him and kissed him again, Stephen was so confused by her actions, but was too weak not to respond to her kisses. He tried to restrain himself from touching her now bare body. This act frustrated Keira, her body longs for the touch he gave him earlier.

She took the initiative, straddled him, placed his hands on her back and kissed his neck and teased his ears.

"I want you, but please let me take the lead."

Her words made Stephen more fired up. She carefully united their bodies as far as her body can tolerate until the pain turned into pleasure. The kind of unique pleasure she felt for the first time.

Stephen was going crazy with the satisfaction he is feeling from the unexpected scene unfolding before him. They went for it like two people yearning dearly for it, Keira dropped her head on his shoulders, they were both sweaty, but Stephen kissed her shoulders not minding the sweat at all. Both of them were dead tired that they did not have enough time to put their clothes back on; they fell asleep on the couch holding each other.

Keira woke up with the bright sunray hitting her eyes; her body was so sore it hurts when she tried to move. She was taken aback, realizing she was covered in a blanket, but Stephen was no longer there.

She sat up thinking of the passionate night they shared,

"Why did he leave me without a word? Is he disgusted of me? I should call him, but I don't have his number... the heck, I don't even know his full name... and how do I tell him that I am not Tara? Shoot, how do I explain this to my friend? I had a one-night stand while I was pretending to be her."

Keira's mind was about to burst from thinking and the hangover from the alcohol and her sore body from doing the deed; it was all too much to handle…

She got up and took a shower to straighten her mind. The cold shower hit her skin; she noticed the marks left by Stephen all over her body.

"Gosh, I'm going crazy!"

"ring… ring.."

Keira went outside the shower to answer her phone.

"It's Mr. Watson… why is he calling me?" Mr. Watson is her father's executive secretary.

"Ms. Keira, you have to go back to the mansion today this is urgent."

"Okay, I will be there."

Keira's worried voice resonated in the phone call.

"A car will be waiting for you to take you to the mansion."

Keira hurriedly fixed herself and went out, boarded the car that was sent to her. When she arrived at their mansion, she saw her grandmother crying.

"What happened, Nana?" Keira held her grandmother to console her.

"Your mom and dad… they are gone."

Keira was speechless. She felt like it was just a dream, a nightmare rather; how can they possibly leave her at the same time?

"The plane that they boarded crashed in the sea, I'm sorry Ms. Keira"

In an instant, Keira's world turned upside down.

She spent a week grieving, mourning the loss of her parents, but she's no ordinary woman, she has responsibilities now that are bigger than she had imagined.

"My child, you need to step up, we can't let them take over our company, I am too old to handle this work, I will be only regaining my CEO status for three months, after that, I will resign and I want you to handle the company"

"Nana, I don't think I am capable."

"You are more than capable, my dear, you are the only heir of the Greene family, don't let your father down."

Keira was somehow forced to grow up overnight, but this is the way it is supposed to be done; her grandma believed in her, and she couldn't afford to disappoint the only family she has left.

Mr. Watson stayed with them. He taught Keira everything that she should know about running the company. He also introduced her allies and enemies in ways only her father would know. She will be entering the company as a regular employee, for three months she will learn about the company from the ground up.

Her makeover and training will begin; Keira is looking forward to transforming herself into a capable heiress.
