AUDREY“So, you bought all our properties? The vineyard? The land? How about my mother’s house, Gabriel? Is acquiring it a part of your plan, too?”“At first. I won’t lie to you about that, but that’s when I didn’t know it was your mother’s, and it now belongs to you. I’m just going to help you take it back.”I bit my bottom lip nervously. “You really wanted him to go bankrupt, didn’t you?”“Don’t worry. None was taken by force. You should know now that your father pretty much liked gambling. He gambled but lost everything to some people I sent myself. I’m sorry if it had to be that way.”I felt my body weaken in every revelation he just proclaimed. For some reason, I didn’t know how to take it. I wasn’t there when all of it happened because I ran away, but Samuel and Anton suffered along with the fall of the family businesses. I wouldn’t know what to say to Anton if he found out.He’d be angry with me, and I would lose him forever. He may not be the best brother or be as sympathetic
AUDREYGabriel brought me to the bed, but I sprang instantly and pulled him with me, then I rolled over him, so I was on top of him. “I will do it this time,” I said. “At least, a little of what I can do.”He chuckled in amusement. “Alright, let’s see what you’ve got.”Hastily, I started unbuttoning his white dress shirt, but then he caught my hand.“Are you really sure about this, Audrey? We don’t have to.” There was a frown across his eyebrows.“I’m sure.” I lowered my head on the curve of his neck, and I began kissing him, running my tongue on his skin, just like he did it on me. He breathed heavily, groaning, and his hands moved all over me, and I couldn’t get enough. Gabriel then tried to slip his hand on my jeans and started unzipping me, so I sat on the top of his crotch, feeling his already hard nine-inch cock, then stripped myself. He held my gaze with his enigmatic gray eyes. I couldn’t read his expression either. I let my brassiere fall off, exposing my bare torso in fro
GABRIELI had imagined these particular scenarios with Audrey in the past months when she started working for me – a very much willing and spread-out Audrey on my bed when I would finally claim her body. Her sapphire eyes pleading with me, her hair falling on my face when she rides me, and those fantasies could never compare to reality. My gorgeous angel was staring wide-eyed at me in wonder in the morning. I rolled over the bed.“Good morning, beautiful,” I murmured and brushed my lips on her forehead. “How many times have I wished to wake up next to you.”She giggled. “Good morning. Technically, I woke up next to you once.”I moved my mouth to her rosy cheek before I slid my hand to her jaw. “You weren’t naked before,” I teased, and she laughed once more. The noises she made last night were fucking sexy, and the sound alone made my cock swell and harder than it ever was, and I was hard again now.I took her soft, sweet lips in a lingering kiss, and my tongue feverishly tangled with
GABRIELExclusive still had a reputation for interviewing well-known individuals, so I still had to make a positive appearance for my brand.“Exclusive is lucky to have the pleasure of having you here, Mr. Stark. First of all, thank you very much for inviting us here,” Carla began.I nodded. “You’re welcome. It’s my pleasure,” I answered.“As much as possible, we aim to build a good relationship here between Exclusive and Stark Apparel, so we are going to make this a fun day for everyone. Are you ready, Mr. Stark?”The only fun I will have today is when this is finally over. “Sure, Carla, Whenever you are ready.”“Okay. So…” She shifted her leg to the other side. “Everyone already knows that the Stark family is one of the elites of Manhattan, but we never really saw the real face of Gabriel Stark, and this is a great opportunity to see a side of you that we have not yet seen. You play tennis, too, Mr. Stark. Is this another of your dreams that have yet to come true? Becoming a tennis
GABRIELCEO OF STARK APPAREL INC., GABRIEL STARK, OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES HIS GIRLFRIEND, AUDREY HOPKINS, IN A MAGAZINE INTERVIEW. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT HER?GABRIEL STARK DATING HIS EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT.STARK APPAREL’S CEO AND PLAYBOY, GABRIEL STARK, FINALLY FOUND LOVE IN THE OFFICE!Those were the most searched titles on several news sites one week later when this month’s Exclusive issue was released. I picked up the magazine with the bold letter E and my picture on the cover. But Carla couldn’t be more outrageous. She deliberately wrote about the non-fraternization in the magazine, questioned an ethical workplace at the end of her article, and mentioned NSFW. I couldn’t believe she would go that low, but I couldn’t care less about myself. I didn’t want to offend Audrey this way. It was partially my fault.But I guess that’s for the better. People would talk about what they want nonetheless. They would forget eventually. I just couldn’t bear any secret affairs anymore. Coulson and Du
AUDREYI untied the lacy ribbon but halted when I saw Gabriel cocked his head and tense up. His gaze instantly drove me crazy. I had spent a fantastic night and made love with a man already, but his stares could still make me edgy. Or perhaps, of course, I never stripped in front of a woman with my lover in the same room. I let the robe fall on the floor anyway, with my eyes still locked on Gabriel’s. My heart pounded in my chest, and his gaze did not waver enough to make my knees weak.Francesca instructed me to sit on the white sheets. She asked me to pose where my back was still visible and with my chest forward. She told me to let my arms loose so I wouldn’t block my torso and then oriented me to have one of my legs spread forward. I watched her set up her camera, asked her to stay still, and snapped a picture.I made a few different positions where some photos had my breasts exposed but made sure my private part downward wasn’t visible, and in some shots, she asked me to lie on m
AUDREYI phoned Charles’s number immediately as I meant to speak to him anyway about the house—to tell him I would finally pay the debt. However, I couldn’t believe the most ludicrous scenario I couldn’t quite imagine.“Listen, Audrey. I didn’t know what to do.” He sighed in frustration and spoke as if he was hissing. “He came to my uncle’s office in person. I didn’t know they were that close. He found out I was going to New York, and my uncle told your father we met recently, so…”“So you brought him here. God, Charles!” I shoved my hands in my hair. “You know I ran away from him.”“I know, but he just won’t leave me alone,” he said tightly and exhaled again. “Come on, Audrey. You’ve just got to talk to him, okay?”“What does he want from me?”“He didn’t say.”“Look. Tell him I don’t give a damn about what he wants from me because the last time I came home, he called my mother a whore,” I ranted angrily, and the pain he caused me I was trying to heal was fresh again. “Don’t you want
AUDREY“I’m sorry, Audrey,” Charles apologized, his eyes concerned. “I’ll deal with you later, Charles,” I dismissed, and he excused himself, giving us a space to talk. I set my eyes on my annoyingly fine-looking father—or so I thought. He wasn’t my real dad, after all.And so much for a dying man. He didn’t look sick at all. Maybe Anton was lying to me back then, too. “So now tell me what you want to tell me because I won’t be staying here to mingle with you,” I went on.I couldn’t let Gabriel wait for me for long anyway, and I had to go back before he’d suspect anything. It’d be much better to tell him about Charles and Dad when I get back.“My darling girl, Audrey. You grew up into a fine young woman,” he praised, staring at my face and matching it with a fake smile. “You look very much like your mother!”“Quit the chit-chat and get to the point. Tell me about my mother because it’s the only reason I’m here anyway. Just so you know, I don’t care why you are here.”The father I’d
