Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: You own all of this?

(Zane POV)

"Welcome to my humble home." Orville said as we finally arrived in his penthouse and can I just say, I was extremely bowled over by how spacious and fancy it is. This is far beyond from what I imagined it to be.

Orville sneakily wandered his hands around my waist and began nuzzling my neck which caused me to stiffen because of its ticklish sensation.

"Stay with me!" He whispered.

"Orville, before we do it again, would you at least let me see the place first?"

"Sure."

He toured me around his place and it left me speechless. The unit probably spans a grand 5,200 square feet. The apartment is composed of four bathrooms and five bedrooms and a pool area with plenty of open living space to emphasize the grandeur of the unit. The living room features a central open fire place with a ginormous round couch, a flat screen television as well as huge paintings displayed on the wall. The living room area is also adjacent to a sliding door that opens out onto an outdoor balcony area.

The chef's kitchen and pub area are divided by a large center island. The side of the kitchen features a high tech gas stove and oven, a refrigerator with a technology advanced ice maker, and a remote controlled cupboard. The side of the pub features built in glass shelves containing some of the finest wines and beers one can buy. I saw that he has numerous collections of Chianti, Champagne, Chardonnay, Chivas Regal and so much more.

As for the bedrooms, they are complete showstoppers but the master's has the spotlight because it features a Steinway & Sons grand piano, a space for a writing desk, and also a floor-to-ceiling window that overlooks the entire city. Furthermore, the master bath consists of a deep tub, steam shower that you can also consider as a sauna and a walk in closet that is almost twice the size of my own bedroom.

"You own all of this?"

"Not to toot my own horn but yeah, I do and it didn't cost me that much." Orville said.

"Wow! I guess it's nice to be rich, huh."

Orville then went right in front of me and cupped my cheeks to plant a kiss on my lips. "Sometimes, it's not. Money can't buy you happiness, you know." He replied.

"Orville?"

"Hmm?"

"Can I tell you something?"

"What is it, Zane?"

"I'm not really comfortable with us being together." I said which caused him to frown.

"Why is that?"

"You still have a wife and I am….well…your mistress or whatever. I don't want to feel like I am the reason why your family is falling apart."

"Zane, it already fell apart a long time ago."

"But I feel guilty about it. I feel like I am causing more damage to your relationship with Eloise. When I had sex with you the first time, I knew it was not right but I wanted it because you are so likeable and I felt this connection with you but one of the reasons why I did it is because I thought it was only a one-time thing but for us to basically start an affair is a whole different story already."

Orville sighed before caressing my face.

"Zane, there's no way you can cause further damage to it because it's already damaged. Eloise and I are basically staying with each other because of our kids but I don't think our feelings are still there anymore. She knows that. I already told her that I cannot stand her and I knew that she got impregnated by another man."

"What? You told her that?"

"Uh-huh!" Orville looked proud.

"Well…what did she say?"

"She looked down, too embarrassed to make eye contact with me. We didn't talk for a couple of days. The only time we talked is during Sofia's birthday and I actually made the decision to divorce her already"

The moment Orville said that, there's this part of me that got so delighted and overjoyed because I know deep inside that I want Orville to be mine but at the same time, I was also feeling a little bit ashamed because I am going to benefit from someone else's loss.

"Are you sure with your decision already?"

"I am sure. Don't you realize what I just said? I chose you over her. I want us to be together. I think I love you, Zane!"

As a reply to his heart warming statement, I tiptoed and grabbed his face for our lips to touch since I am shorter than him. We stumbled all the way to living room during the kiss and before I know it, we are already discarding every piece of clothing that are on us to do you-know-what.

(Orville POV)

"That was amazing!"

"Tell me about it." Zane said as he has his face nestled on my chest while I have him in my loving embrace. We are currently lying on the floor because Zane decided to go wild with his lascivious acts again. I snickered at him. As I have said before, this guy is a freak…the most beautiful freak I have ever seen.

"Orville, let's go get dinner." He suggested.

"Sure, and they also have a theater room here. Do you want to go see a movie or something?" I asked.

"What? Really? They have a movie theater here?"

"Zane, this is a world renowned penthouse building so of course, they have that here. They have a 24/7 concierge, spa, yoga room, gym, rooftop pool, catering kitchen and even a private dining area. You name it and they have it."

"Alright, Mr. Sass pants." Zane said as he playfully pulled my bottom lip.

"Zane?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you!"
