A Secretary's Vendetta I want to Kiss You
Aurora POV;My sudden intake of breath made him hesitate, but only for a second. His other hand came up to my softly rounded chin and he tilted it up, just a fraction. ” he whispered as his mouth hovered “I want to kiss you as much as you want me to.”“Re…really?” I choked.He smiled gently. “Really.”His lips teased over my full mouth, nibbling my upper lip while he tasted it with a lazy stroke of his tongue. I jumped and shivered. The contact was completely out of my experience. I’d dated a few boys, but I didn’t seem to appeal to any of them physically. This was different. I wished I knew what to do so that he wouldn’t stop.He lifted his head and looked into my rapt, expectant eyes. I was breathing like a distance runner. My breasts were shaking under the whip of my pulse. " I thought you were experienced with the way you responded at your place, but it seemed I was wrong"His thumb moved to my lower lip and tugged it down gently as his head bent again.“We have to start somewhe

Michael POV:She looked so pretty. I stopped what i was doing and just stared at her. Why hadn't I realized how pretty she was? Iwondered.She saw the look and was mesmerized by it. She stood staring back at me, while time stood still around us.Aurora folded her hands in front of her, self-consciously. “I really like your house, it's big and beautiful,” she said, for something to break the silence.I smiled. “I’m glad you""Perhaps too big, does it get lonely here?""That's why I have two cats to keep me company""True, do you get scared" "Scared?" I asked surprised "Like somewhere in the big corner of your house, a clown is there lurking, hiding around in the shadows, waiting around to get ya" she said jerking forward for a jump scare. I stare at her, not flinching the slightest bit."Mrs Hardy, did you just tried to scare,?" "Oh' no sir. No sir, I wouldn't dare" She chuckled "But seriously, the dark seems darker in houses like this, it takes an heart of steel not to get spooked

Michael POV:The kiss became passionate, demanding. She moaned again. Vaguely, i felt her tugging at my arm, wanting to be pulled up. I bent and lifted her, my mouth still enclosing her yielded, hungry lips. I carried her into the house, kicking the door shut behind me. I started toward the bedroom, but my body was in agony. Too many years of abstinence had left me powerless with Aurora's mouth promising heaven. I made it to the living room and slid her onto the sofa, but there wasn’t really room for both of us on it. She was as hungry as i was, and the restless movements landed us both on the carpet between the sofa and the coffee table.I started to lift ny head, but she pulled my mouth back over hers. The sensations were like waves of pleasure that rocked her in my hard arms, and she didn’t want us to stop. She didn’t want me to stop. She’d never felt such physical delight in all her life, and she wasn’t willing to give it up just yet.I was feeling something similar. It had been

Aurora POV:I reached up and touched his mouth. I felt his body shivering in the aftermath, as mine was too. He looked…shattered. It scared me a bitHe collapsed on me, his forearms catching most of his formidable weight. His face pulsed at my throat, damp and sucking at breath. He shuddered. My arms slid around him, cradling him. I felt him against every inch of me. I felt him, still inside me, still pulsing softly.“Gosh,” I whispered, awed. My legs curved around the back of his and my body lifted in soft entreaty.“Optimist,” he murmured.I laughed softly. I knew what he meant. Men spent themselves, and then it took a long time before they were capable again. I'd never indulged, but I have heard other women talk.“When I felt you stiffen, I could have shot myself,” he said at myear. “I lost it. I knew you were a virgin, and I still couldn’t stop.”My hands smoothed his dark, wavy hair. I looked up at the ceiling, vaguely aware of the cats moving around the room, of a breeze flutte

Aurora POV:I raised my head from his body nervously. What did he want to tell me, did he want to tell me the whole moment was a mistake, did he wish to cast aside what we just had like it was nothing, just like he did the kiss. I gaze into his eyes nervously, wondering what the answer could be. "How much do you trust Leo Jordan?" He asked"A lot, I guess" I replied with a raised eyebrow. Was this about Mr. Jordan again."What would you do if you find out he is a liar and a fraud and has been lying g to you the whole time"I sighed"I know you hate him - ""This isn't about hating him" he interrupted "Wait let me finish" I replied sternly"I know you hate him, but let me tell you something you don't know about him.""Blow my mind" I remarked mockingly I ignored the mockery in his voice."You both seem to have misunderstood one another a lot, you'd be surprised to find out you are somewhat Similar""I have nothing in common with that twat." "Let me finish" I said sternly "He has

Michael POV:When she said ' I love you' The words bit into me. It made me feel guilty. I wanted her, but i didn’t feel that emotion for her. Not yet. When I smiled and replied. “Drive carefully. Call me when you get home.”I saw her face fell, I knew what she wanted to hear but I didn’t say it. I didn't feel it, it felt so hard saying it, it weighted heavily like my tongue was tied to the weight of the world. I simply gave up without trying to say it. I tried to analyse my feelings, I had to feel something powerful for her, Iwas certain of it. She took me in a sensational way even Lucy couldn't, she was like a devil in my blood, that I couldn't get enough. I watched her drove away with feelings of utter self-contempt. I'd taken advantage of what she felt for me, lost control and put her at risk. Now I had to stand by and wait to find out if she became pregnant, knowing that if she did, I’d be forced to marry her to save her reputation. But I knew I wouldn't, I had only promised h
