All Chapters of Dark Love: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Inara climbed off the bed and stepped forward. Then she paused as he set the newspaper aside and threw his legs onto the floor. She remained frozen in place, overwhelmed by fear but he beckoned her forward, urging her towards the seat.Inara took nervous steps forward and sat down, casting her gaze onto the floor. Her eyes alternated between the floor and her lap. Lemuel just sat back and watched her without saying anything. He kept watching her as her eyes remained glued to her lap, her body, a bundle of nerves. Still, he watched her, letting his gaze burn her tense body. As he continued his silent unnerving perusal, Inara started to q

Lemuel stared at Inara, unable to believe what he was seeing. What was she doing stealing money? Christ! He had told her that if anything was bothering her, she should tell him. Yet here she was stealing money.At first, his temper was stirred up and he wanted to discipline her immediately, thinking that she probably didn’t get enough from last night and was looking for something to cry about but he controlled himself.To the best of his knowledge, she was a liar but he didn’t think that stealing was in her nature. His mind could not just fathom any possible explanation as he stared at her. There had to be a reason. There had

Lemuel wasn’t too surprised about what the Lawyer had just told him. Thanks to being up to speed about what was happening.“I appreciate your consideration Mr. Sam. I’m sorry to hear that. I believe we can work something out. I will need to speak with my Lawyer first. You will hear from him as soon as possible. Hopefully, we can all come to an understanding.”“Noted. Have a good day Mr. Lemuel.”“You too. Thank you for your time.”

Lemuel shut the door behind him and headed for his home office even though, in all honesty, what he really wanted to do was go back into the bedroom and comfort her by retracting the punishment. The agony with which she had thrown herself onto the bed had touched him but he had to force himself not to change his mind. He needed her to have ample time alone and think. He himself had some thinking to do.This whole thing had started with revenge where all he wanted after her accusation, was to make her life a living hell. But along the line somewhere, he had been searching for that vengeful feeling and it seemed to be fading.

Inara had no idea that she had dozed off on the bed after tidying up the bedroom. She had put on the television, switched the channels to an action movie station just to keep her boredom off and mitigate the discomfort of her lock down. Then she had curled herself onto the bed where she watched the TV for a while and didn’t know when sleep overtook her.When the bedroom door swung open, the sound promptly stirred her to consciousness and she found Lemuel stepping inside. She turned onto her left side and hastily crawled off the bed, moving herself over to the wall with her back against it and watching nervously as he gave the room a once over, inspecting her work.

Feedwell opened the door, allowing Nana to enter with a tray containing Inara’s lunch.Lemuel arranged one of the bedside table at the foot of the bed to allow her place the tray on it. Then they both thanked Feedwell and Nana who acknowledged their appreciation and left, giving them privacy.Lemuel leaned into Inara and deeply inhaled her scent deliberately, making her catch her breath. It always made her entire body hot with sexual excitement when he inhaled her like that and her cheeks flushed crimson.Her me

Having reached home, Inara was back to being grounded in the bedroom. For the rest of the day, all she did was sleep, wake up and watch movies. Then later, her dinner was brought up to her by Feedwell.She wondered if the other people in the house knew why she was spending all her time in the bedroom. It was so humiliating. Seated at the dressing table, she looked at the dinner Feedwell was placing before her and thought well, it could have been worse.Her dinner consisted of two hot dogs, with no bun. The

In the morning, Inara woke up to Lemuel’s absence. She was used to waking up and not finding him. Her mind went back to last night and she recalled with pleasure how he had taken care of her. She was aware that he had left the music playing on her phone. But now, the room was silent.She sat up and saw her phone by the bedside table beside the bed lamp. She was sure that he had stopped the music and placed it there.Inara took a moment to appreciate the fact that she was feeling better and that he had found her when he did or she would have come down with cold. Another thing that lifted her spirits was that her punishment would be

Lemuel was seated beside Inara, holding her close as she leaned into him at the deck of his Princess 72 Motor Yacht. They were both staring out into the large expanse of the lake with nothing but a meandering forest on each side of the water for miles.As the driver from the control room far at the front of the yacht, cruised the engine skillfully through the waters, they sat there on the seats at the tail of the yacht, enjoying the cool breeze and the sight of nature.Inara was feeling genuinely happy at the heightened sense of freedom especially after going through the grounding. This was serious relief and she planned not to get herse

Lemuel led her through the yacht’s living room, which was fitted with two long sets of white settees. The settees had several cushions in white and different shades of grey strewn across them and there was a matching white center table with a medium length wooden strip wrapped over the middle of it like a ribbon.They moved passed the dining table decorated with a bow of beautiful green and white flower neatly arranged atop the center. The dining table stood surrounded with four white chairs forming an L shape around one end while a white settee formed an L shape, surrounding the other end with about three embroidered grey cushions strewn over the settee.
