My Emotionless Goddess

” That’s moaning my love and it is a bedroom voice, you shouldn’t do that in the open.” Justin said but his ears turned red from embarrassment. Miranda immediately realised what she just did. She was innocent and new to matters between men and women but not completely clueless. Her two friends Ava and Lucia shamelessly discuss those things so of course she picked one or two things from listening to their blatant talk. From what she learnt, she knew that a woman produces those sounds if sexually aroused or to indicate sexual satisfaction. She couldn’t believe she just did that. But hers wasn’t a sexual thing, it was more of a tease to her taste buds. The cake was perfectly baked so that she could just sit all day and savour its taste.

” We are eating and we are alone, nobody will hear or misunderstand.” Miranda brushed him off but the truth was she was embarrassed herself and didn’t want to continue with that topic. The sooner they dropped it, the better.

” But Miranda, even I get affected when you produce those sounds, they are kinda inviting.” Justin countered with a glint of mischief.

” Affected? How can that affect you?” The ever clueless Miranda sought clarification.

” You are a woman, a beautiful and attractive woman at that and I am a man, a mature Man with feelings. What do you think will happen when I hear you make such alluring sounds?” Justin asked, controlling the laughter that threatened to erupt from him from seeing how Miranda’s face turned from bewilderment, to realisation then how she scrunched it up and looked at him with disdain.

” Can’t you control your thoughts, sex is nothing but a mentality. If you can’t control yourself, will you always react whenever you hear a woman moaning?” Miranda asked, her voice cold and threatening. Justin wondered how it turned out to be about him getting turned on by moans anytime he heard them. He was clearly talking about how her moans could affect him but he didn’t remember saying each moan could turn him on. He figured out that Miranda had a way of twisting logic to fit her imagination.

” Baby, when did I say that moans turn me on?” He asked.

” You said it just now, how would you react if I made those sounds!” Miranda retorted, her voice was accusatory.

” That’s it baby, your moans! Not Just any other woman. We were talking about you.” He played with words and justified himself rendering Miranda speechless. Miranda couldn’t recognize herself anymore. She was not one to lose composure over trivial matters but lately, it’s becoming very hard to control herself when it comes to Justin. Is this what they call love? That raging desire to conquer and own? She couldn’t tell. Maybe her relationship gurus, Ava and Lucia could advise her on this. Thinking about those two, she wondered when they’ll see each other. It’s been close to three months now without getting together.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

The weekend was spent peacefully between the two couples. They had fun together watching movies, gardening and planting flowers. Justin even taught Miranda how to cook which proved to be a More hard task than he thought. She will either mistake salt for sugar or add more spices. He finally gave up but consoled her that he will always cook for her so there’s no need to tire her pretty little hands.

The following week started peacefully. Justin continued in his modelling career as usual. He was planning to quit but that would be after he was done with the current projects. He didn’t want to leave companies hanging or looking for cover models. He always completed what he started. He had given his manager the information that she didn’t have to accept more contracts because he was planning on quitting the entertainment industry. He has however instructed that this news be kept a secret in the meantime.

Miranda on the other hand worked as usual in her company. The Lambert group had taken a one hundred and eighty degree turn like a month and so ago. The ever serious and terrifying devil started to be soft and Cool. She was feared most for being ruthless when dealing with anybody irrespective of their personal relationship which of course, nobody had in the company. She never gave anybody second chances, if you messed up, you are screwed. The employees were surprised when one day a child strolling in the company ran into the devil. Everybody expected hell to break loose but the awaited drama did not unfold. Instead, the devil crouched down and spoke to the child gently Patting her Head lovingly. Those who Saw that scene were thunderstruck, not wanting to believe what they were seeing. The child was then invited to the CEOs office and rumour has it that the CEO paid a Nanny for one year and the mother was allowed to clock out one hour before the official closing hours. The CEO who never tolerated children in the company by saying they would ‘ inconvenience’ the working structure and environment actually treated a child so nicely. The gossip mongers started speculating about the reason behind the sudden change. You wouldn’t blame them for their curiosity. They were used to a cold and ruthless Miranda but still appreciated the change. It brought a relaxed and harmonious relationship in the company.

Friday came soon. Today was the day Miranda was taking Justin to Lambert’s ancestral home to pay respects to her parents as requested by him. They arrived at the house and Justin was surprised to see the similarities between the house and the palace. He could confidently say that the architect who designed the houses was One and the same person. But What caught Justin’s attention was not the house but the pillar at the entrance of the house. It was engraved with a big dragon. Dragons in the state and Asian culture translated to protector. He wondered if this was just a pleasant coincidence or there’s More to the mark.
