The Faceless Billionaire Celebrity Wife-Chapter 261: Sex Drive.

While waiting for the picture from Mignon, Shikera turned to Alan.

"Why were you two talking like strangers? Especially you," she asked.

Alan shrugged, sighing out loud.

"What else did you expect? Even if I had mustered the courage to speak, it would have been deflated right from the moment she spoke. She said she regained her memory, along with that her family, her daughter and...her husband or boyfriend, if she had one," he chuckled.

Shikera hadn’t expected that kind of answer from him, and she obviously wasn’t prepared to discourage him from his line of thoughts. She knew nothing about Mignon’s private life, as Mignon DeLoach. All she knew was limited to the MD scandal and nothing else apart from that.

"Still..." she tried to disagree with Alan, but stopped herself as soon as she started.

"Let that go, Kera. I know very well how to cut my coat according to my garment, and not my size," Alan stated. "By the way, did you hear the news circulating about a stalker on the island?"

"Stalker?" Shikera frowned. "I didn’t hear anything about it. Why would a stalker be on the island?"

"What kind of a question is that? It’s just like asking why a thief would be on the island. Because they are everywhere, of course. Anyways, most of the girls and ladies from the neighboring communities have been complaining about it and since you are the most beautiful girl in our community here, I think you should be very careful."

Shikera smiled sheepishly, "Is that an obscure way of complimenting me?"

"Of course not! Don’t take this as a joke too and make sure you call me if there’s any place you need to go."

"Got it!" Shikera saluted jokingly. A ping from her phone sent her rushing to view Mignon’s message.

"Oh my effing g!" Shikera gushed.

"What’s that?" Alan raised his brows, leaning in to see whatever it was that made Shikera surprised, but the latter eyed him as he got closer.

"Get back, Pervert. What are you trying to see?"

"Pervert?! Isn’t that title more befitting for a person like you and Leah instead of me? I’ll just leave. Take care of yourself and call me when—"

"Forget the long talks, Alan. Lend me your bike," Shikera requested. "I need to visit somewhere real quick when I’m done here."

"Where?" Alan asked.

"None, of your business."

Alan shook his head, "Why bother asking me when you’ll take it if you want?"

Straightening his shirt, he walked away from the beach, leaving Shikera by herself.

She studied the picture like a scientist studying a specimen, while zooming in as if to see if there was a speck of hair on Ethan’s skin.

A thought popping in her mind, Shikera texted Mignon.

[How were you able to take a close up pic? He wouldn’t have allowed you and even though I asked you to, you shouldn’t have seen that with your bare eyes.]

[Read your text again, Kera, and check if there’s any sense in it. I risked my dignity to do that for you and... Anyways, how are those? Don’t you want to run your hands on them and—]

Shikera had to stop herself from reading. The texts that Mignon sent her after that were all dirty and making her begin to imagine lewd stuffs.

"I’ll just sleep and wake up, then everything would be alright," she murmured, closing her eyes as she lulled herself to sleep.

Without looking, Shikera knew it was Ethan who was touching her. His familiar hands trailing up her back incited passionate emotions within her, causing desire to pool at her lower belly. She felt his lips place kisses down her neck, past her collarbone, and down to her breasts...

Her toes curled in excitement as she moaned out his name, "Ethan..."

"Kera?"

Shikera’s eyes fluttered open to see the faces of three ladies of her age, whom she had been seeing around the island these past few days. She blinked, remembering that she had closed her eyes to sleep when—

She sat up with a start, looking up at one of the girls, "Was that a dream?"

"Dream...Did I wake you from a wonderful dream? Sorry but it’s past 4pm already and you are still here by the beach so I thought to wake you up," the one replied.

Shikera nodded.

"Thanks very much for waking me," she appreciated from her heart. What would she have done if her dream had advanced and she embarrassed herself in front of the whole community.

After exchanging pleasantries with the girls, she watched them walk away before standing up. She packed up everything she brought with her and started on her way to the house.

Shikera had just walked past Alan’s house when she felt eyes on her from behind. She turned abruptly to see who it was but found no one behind her.

"Creepy," she whispered.

Few minutes later, she was walking down the street when she felt eyes on her again. Turning, she raised her brows in confusion when she saw no one again.

"The stalker can’t be after me like Alan said, right?"

Shrugging, she continued on her way to the convenience store where Grandma Cooper sent her on an errand to.

"Hey Jodi!" she smiled, waving at the cashier of the store, one of the teenage girls who had especially kept her company the previous day. "You’re working today?"

"Yeah, unfortunately. Dad said he won’t give me the money for a cellphone if I do not work for it here," Jodi replied dejectedly. The girl had followed Shikera on a picnic the previous day which ended with the both of them binge watching romantic dramas on Shikera’s phone.

Jodi had been highly elated and sworn to Shikera that she found her dream job, which was to be an actress and kiss as many hot men as this particular one they were watching, had done.

"That’s sad," Shikera lamented, even though she had a smile on her face. "But you agreed to work just cause you want a cellphone? I’ll say your dad got one great card against you there."

"No, he doesn’t," Jodi disagreed, "I’m the one who wants to become an actress." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Just because you want to kiss countless hot men? That’s not the job of an actress though. They only kiss when the script directs them to."

"I don’t care about that!"

Laughing, Shikera knew she had no chance of winning against this strong headed teenager so she went on to pick the items she came for, paid for them and went back home.

Grandma Cooper was waiting for her in the living room.

"You took a while," she commented.

"Yeah, was talking to dreamer Jodi for some minutes. How have you been?"

"Fine, as you can see," Grandma Cooper replied.

"Great! I have to get to somewhere as fast as I can. Will take about an hour or two," Shikera informed, as she walked to her room, a spring in her footsteps.

"Be careful, and come back as early as you can. You heard about that stalker following young girls around, right?"

"I did!" Shikera yelled from her room. "I’ll be taking Alan’s bike so I’ll be fast and what kind of stalker can follow me with a bike and I won’t notice?"

"Just stay safe!" Grandma Cooper yelled back, "A bike isn’t ideal for a pregnant woman."

"I’ll only use it just for today!"

"You’re busy?" Shikera asked, as soon as the call she placed to Krystal connected.

"Not at all. I actually wanted to call you now but you beat me to it. You okay?"

"I am...Nope, I’m not. I have a question," Shikera stated.

"What’s wrong? The pain again?"

"No, not that. This one is kind of... it’s a simple question though," Shikera muttered, unsure of the perfect way to present the question.

"I’m listening," Krystal replied.

"Okay so...is it normal to have weird dreams and uhm, you know? Feel weird things, having extra sensitive body..." Shikera trailed off, twiddling with her dress as she waited nervously.

"Dreams? What kind of dreams?"

"Jeez...they are kind of good but when you wake up, you remember how lonely you are so."

"I didn’t really get that but how about your body? What part is extra sensitive?" Krystal asked again.

"Ah... that’s private," Shikera replied immediately. "Just forget about it, Krystal. I’ll deal with this myself."

Before Shikera could hang up, Krystal spoke up suddenly, "Omg, Kera! Don’t tell me you had a wet dream."

"Uh?" Shikera asked curiously.

"Listen Kera, pregnant women do have varied sex drive. Some very low while some are very high. With my observations from what you just told me, I’ll say you are on the high side. Congratulations baby!"

"Sex drive?!" Shikera facepalmed herself even though she was alone. "Why would—Are pregnant women allowed to uhm..."

Krystal’s laughter resounded through the line, "You aren’t supposed to be the shy person here, Kera. Nevertheless, I’ll explain. Pregnant women are very much allowed to have sex but you guys must be very careful and gentle so as not to hurt the baby..."

She continued, "Are you listening to me, Kera?"
