One Wild Night

Wanting to see if his body would react the same way this time, she moved an inch away from him and undid the belt of the bathrobe which she was still wearing, and without taking off the gown she leaned forward so that her bare breast was rubbing against one of his hands.

She watched as Bryan stirred in his sleep, but didn't wake up. So she leaned forward as if to kiss him, but just as her lip connected with his, her phone started ringing and Bryan's eyes fluttered open.

Sonia cursed under her breath and tried to pull away, but Bryan's hand which was still on her waist automatically held her in place as he looked into her eyes and bit her lower lip.

"Ouch! What was that for?" Sonia glared at him as she raised a finger to touch her lip.

"Who said you are allowed to do that?" Bryan asked, repeating what she had told him the previous night.

"Do what?" Sonia asked innocently.

"Kiss me?" Bryan asked with a slightly raised brow even though he was very glad that Sonia was back to her usual self.

"And who said I was going to kiss you?" Sonia retorted.

"I guess you wanted to give me a Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) then?" Bryan asked sarcastically making Sonia roll her eyes.

"Whatever."

"And why are you always naked around me now?" Bryan asked when he felt her warm mound pressing into his arm.

"Do you have a problem with me being naked around you?" Sonia asked, wondering what sort of ridiculous conversation they were both having at the moment.

"This is ridiculous," Bryan thought out loud echoing her thought as he withdrew his hand from her back, "Let's start afresh, okay? Good morning baby, did you sleep well?" He asked with a bright smile, not wanting to go on with the ridiculous argument they were having.

Sonia narrowed her eyes at him, but before she could say anything her phone started ringing again so she turned to pick it up from the other side of the bed while Bryan got out of the bed and got into his wheelchair, and left the bedroom.

She glanced at the phone with a scowl when she picked it up and saw that it was a call from her Editor-cum-manager. The man always seemed to know just the right worst moment to call her, Sonia thought with a weary sigh as she received the call.

"I'm surprised you haven't called me in days," Sonia said without bothering with pleasantries.

"Well, like everyone else I'm aware that you traveled to be with your fiance, so I didn't want to intrude on your personal time," he said politely.

"How nice of you," Sonia muttered under her breath with an eye roll. If he really didn't want to intrude on her personal time, then he wouldn't have been calling so early in the morning when she could have easily been sleeping in with her fiance or having sex with him.

"Thanks. So, how is the new story coming up?" He asked, jumping straight to the reason he had called her.

"I'm still on it..."

"The last time we talked, you promised you were going to send me the first couple of chapters," he reminded her with disapproval.

"Well, I'm still working on it. I need this story to be a bestselling masterpiece... So if you want something good, you will have to give me time," Sonia said flatly.

"Well, your other books are already selling out so quickly that the publishers are having a hard time making new copies on a daily basis... Not that they are complaining though. So I think you should hurry up with this new one as well," he suggested.

He wanted to make the best use of Sonia's relationship with Bryan since he didn't know what was going to be the outcome of their engagement. He was very well aware that like other celebrities, Bryan could easily wake up one morning and decide to call off his engagement with Sonia at any time, especially as he was known to be a very irresponsible playboy. He wanted Sonia to get as much as she could from the relationship for both their sakes before Bryan calls things off.

"Yes, sir!" Sonia said in a salute style like she was speaking to a military personnel.

"Also..." The editor started, and then cleared his throat as if he was trying to find a way to get the words to come out, "Could you ask your fiance to appear with you at your next book signing event?" He asked hopefully.

"Another book signing event?" Sonia asked in confusion since no book signing event was scheduled for the remainder of the year as it was something she usually did once a year, and she had already done it for the year.

"I know we already did one this year. I was just thinking that maybe we should hold another one in Sogal since we have only been hosting the event in Heden," the editor suggested, making Sonia narrow her eyes.

"Are you trying to use my fiance?" Sonia asked suspiciously.

"Why would I do something like that? I just think it would be a good idea for the both of you to be seen together by your fans," her editor rushed to explain.

"That would mean more books to sign as a lot of people would want to be there just to see Bryan," Sonia thought with displeasure.

"The idea is for the both of you to do the signing as a couple. What is most important is that everyone there buys a copy of your book. I'm sure your fiance would love to support your career," he suggested, and Sonia sighed.

"Although I don't like the idea, I will see what I can do about it. How is the deal coming with the movie producer?" Sonia asked curiously.

"I'm handling it. I will let you know when you need to come down to sign the contract," he assured her.

"I will leave everything in your capable hands then. Thank you," Sonia said before hanging up and throwing the phone on the bed.

She rolled off the bed and walked straight to the bathroom to freshen up. Once she was done she changed into a red short and a pink crop top that showed off her belly button ring before walking out of the bedroom.

"So, where were we?" Sonia asked as she walked into Bryan's bedroom, letting him know that she was ready to continue their argument from where she stopped.
