I Fell For The Boy His Daddy Was A Bonus

Chapter 15: Carnal Desires 

“Mmmm,” Scarlett moaned. She took a whiff of that spicy scent, resembling that of a man’s aftershave. Her head nestled on a more solid pillow and her arm stretched to embrace … what it felt like to her… was a man’s body

Panic struck her. She abruptly opened her eyes, only to find Kaleb’s godly face inching closer to her,

The thuds against her ribcage grew louder in her head, all while feeling her throat become paper dry of embarrassment. She gulped, screaming in her head, ‘Oh, my god! So much for a little while!’

“If you wanted to sleep with me so badly, you should have just said so,” Kaleb said in a raspy yet sexy voice. “I knew you wanted my body, but I didn‘t think you‘d act so fast on your carnal desires.”

Scarlett’s mouth fell open, repeating his words silently, ‘Carnal desires? 

She frantically slid out of bed, her eyes searching for Liam and after seeing the boy was still fast asleep, she claimed, “I–1.” She gulped and resumed, “I sometimes sleepwalk.” 

Kaleb’s eyes narrowed, and a sly grin formed on his face. He meant to tease her that morning, but Liam awoke, saying, “What is sleepwalking?” 

Kaleb, Scarlett, and Liam had breakfast at the penthouse. The hotel brought up several choices of delectable dishes for their meal and it was at the dining area where Kaleb swiftly covered his plans for Scarlett. “Let‘s make it clear, Scarlett. I need your help and you need mine, too. There is no shame in accepting my help, considering you are also helping me with Liam.” 

“I hope you will accept whatever it is I have to offer,” he added before taking a sip of his coffee.

“I‘m all ears,” she said. She was done refusing his support. Besides, she was out of options. 

“I can connect you with the Longhills and Hogans Associates if you want to work while studying for the board exams,” Kaleb began. “If you want to simply.” 

“I want to work. It‘s faster to relearn everything while applying it as well, but.” She paused before resuming, “I already tried applying for that Law Firm. Luca, he.” 

“Luca is nothing compared to me. Longhills and Hogans Associates have been our legal representation for a decade. We are their number one client. They will give you the job, trust me,“ Kaleb said. His hand could not help but clenched against his fork, seeing how scared Scarlett was about Luca James finding out.

Scarlett nodded. “Thank you, Kaleb.”
