Don't tempt me

Morgan's point of view 

“What the fuck just happened?” My eyes turned red with fury. 

“You are a fool who doesn't know how to respect women. How dare you try to molest me?” She yelled. 

What! I just saved her... But that still didn't excuse her behavior; how dare she?

“I just saved you from those men, and I'm rewarded with a slap.” I huffed. 

Just when I thought my day couldn't get any worse. First, my father threatened me because of one lousy employee and now I got hit by a drunken woman I had just saved. I blamed everything on the employee. She had ruined my day from the very beginning. I hissed loudly as I thought of that. 

“She will definitely pay for all this, I swear.”

 “You know I caught my boyfriend cheating on me with a broad, handsome man." The drunken woman's voice jolted me out of my murderous thoughts. 

I turned to walk away. I wasn't keen on hanging around her, not after she slapped me. I heard her wobbling behind me, but I couldn't care less. 

We walked out early when the moonlight cast a small glow on our faces.

“Wait up, Arghh!” The woman yelled and grabbed the hem of my shirt. 

I visibly shook with rage. I turned to give her a piece of my mind when I caught a glimpse of her face. Her eyes were dim, a proof that she wore medicated glasses. 

“Where are your glasses?” I asked, not that it was any of my business or that I cared. 

“I…I misplaced it, I guess,” she replied.

“That's your business, woman, I said, turning towards my car.

“Wait… Why would you leave a drunk woman all alone in a dark alley? Something bad could have happened to me. I can't really see clearly, you know.” She slurped her words. 

“Not my business. You have the energy to slap me; sure, you can make your way out of here,” I yelled at her. The anger is resonating through me.

“Please,” she pleaded. “My car is just over there,” she pointed. 

I sucked in a breath and followed her directions.

She hopped into the driver's seat, and as soon as she got in, she dozed off, her head lolling to the side. I wanted to leave her, but guilt gnawed at the back of my mind.

Leaving her to drive alone in this condition could be worse than hell; I guess I shouldn't do that. I breathed a sigh of frustration as I carried her to the back seat. I hopped into the driver's seat and drove off. It then dawned on me that I didn't even know her place.

 Holy hell!

"What's your address?"

I asked, but she was already fast asleep, a soft snore escaping her lips. I slammed my hand hard on the wheel. How worse could today go?

I couldn't believe I was stuck with this drunk secretary who single-handed ruined my day. I had no choice but to take her somewhere safe, and since I had no idea where she was staying, a hotel seemed like the best option.

I pulled up into the hotel parking lot and carried her into the lobby, ignoring the curious glances of the staff. \

“Stop looking at me, like I stole your clothes," I replied to a staff member who kept staring at me. I had gotten to the room already as I laid her on the bed. 

"Where..where am I?"

She slurred, glancing at me with a curious expression.

"You're safe; just go to sleep."

I sighed and turned to leave, but she held onto my clothes.

"What now?"

I groaned inwardly.

"Please stay."

She was pleased, tears stinging at the corners of her eyes. I scoffed, but as I looked at her, something in me softened. Maybe it was the way she looked so vulnerable and lost.

“Men need to learn how to stick to one gender. Just because they're handsome doesn't mean they should get both.”

She sucked, and I remembered her statement from earlier. Something about her boyfriend cheating on her.

“You're heartbroken,” I muttered. She shifted her gaze at me, and a smile curled up on her lips.

“You're so cute.” She pouted her lips and shifted on the bed. . 

“And I got fired again. My life is so miserable." She laughed with sobs. 

She tried standing up, stumbled, and ended up falling on my lap. 

"Fuckk,” I groaned. My instincts screamed at me to push her off, but surprisingly, I didn't. Instead, I just let her there, but what she did next caught me off guard. 

“You smell so nice.”

She tugged on my collar and started sniffing me. “I wonder if you taste the same,” she slurred. 

“Stop it” 

I yelled, but she didn't. I felt her lips on my neck, and my groin throbbed. I grabbed her hair, pushing her back as I stared into her eyes. 

“Don't tempt me,” I breathed, and she smiled—the seductive kind of smile—and that was all it took. I slammed my lips on hers and devoured her hungrily. 

Guilt weighed on me instantly. This isn't right. She is drunk. I broke the kiss and jerked off immediately. A frown crept onto her face. 

“Why? I need more.”

“You're drunk; you'll hate me when you wake up tomorrow.” I was about to stand up from bed when she grabbed my arm.

“None of this will matter in the morning.”

She replied as she kissed me again, this time more deeply.

“Fuck”

I groaned, kissing her with a ravaging hunger. I broke the kiss, hiking her dress up as I tore her pants. 

So fucking tight

A soft moan escaped her lips. 

How much would I pay to hear that sound again?

I pushed her back on the bed, and I hovered above her, pulling up my shorts.

Her eyes widened at the sight of me. 

“I won't hurt you.” 

My voice came out in a huff as I thrust into her.

    Marissa's point of view I fluttered my eyes open immediately as I sat up on the bed. Where was I? My head throbbed as the memories of last night resurfaced—the bar, the whiskey, a group of men trying to assault me. I didn’t remember any other thing; I held my breasts while taking away the strand of hair that covered my face. "Yes! " Then the stranger who came to my rescue. Oh God, the stranger. I tried to remember what had happened—every single moment; however, it felt like nothing brushed through my mind. "Damn!" 'I sighed in frustration, simultaneously massaging my temples. How come I couldn’t remember anything that had happened? I soliloquized. My eyes roamed around the room, but he was nowhere to be found. The bed was empty, and the sheets rumpled and tangled from our encounter.“Wait, it wasn’t like I didn’t remember; I did remember, but there was something about his face that I couldn’t catch. I tried my best to remember what he actually looked like. My phone rang again, i

    Morgan's point of view“Who the hell is she? She was wrong and still had the guts to spit on my face before walking away.’ “To think she was the sweet angel that occupied my dream throughout the night, the stranger I had a one-night stand with that I didn't want to end.”“How dare she think that because we shared one steamy night together she was invincible, or did she think I would excuse her behavior just because we had sex?”“She couldn't even acknowledge me. How rude?”“Or didn't she recognize me? That's not possible. I guess she wants to play dumb about last night, that I can forgive, but insulting and even spitting on me is unforgivable. I'll definitely find her and when I do, I'll make her pay.”“I hit the steering wheel in annoyance, I was just too frustrated, this lady had pinched my pride and I really hate it.”“I shouldn't have gotten involved with her from the beginning, I knew she was big trouble.”I increased my speed and drove into a clothes store. “Shit!

    Marrissa's point of view After a knock, I went towards Mr. Thornhill, an elderly, affluent man. Good morning sir, I greeted you with a warm smile.“Morning Marrissa, have a seat,” Mr Thornhill said, gesturing with his hands.“I'm sure my son gave you a big scare yesterday," he started.“I'm sorry I couldn't pick him up on time…”“That's okay Marrissa, I know my son very well, he is a very impatient man.I'm sure he didn't wait for long.”“I know you are very competent and that's why I hired you back…” Mr Thornhill was saying before he stopped momentarily, looking towards the door. “And here he comes, all you need to do is to apologize and everything will be fine," he whispered with a smile.“Thank you sir,” I whispered back.I braced myself, rehearsing the words in my head.“Marrissa, meet my son, your new boss.” Mr Thornhill said.I stood up with so much confidence and immediately started pouring out my rehearsed speech without looking up.“It's a pleasure to meet you sir.

    Marrissa's point of view I tried my best to avoid Morgan all through the day. I only went into his office when I knew he wasn't alone and left immediately. I was done.And funny, he maintained his lane too. Maybe he got the memo; I wasn't one to be intimidated or messed with.“Who are you kidding, Marissa?” my inner mind said, but truth be told, I was grateful he didn't bother me, maybe he is a gentleman after all.By closing hours, I was super excited, I still had my job, and my boss didn't murder me as I expected.I danced as I got ready to go home. Putting my things together, I began to sing my favorite song. After making sure everything was in order, I walked out of my office, ready to go home.“Where do you think you are going?” a voice stopped me.I turned around, and it was Morgan, my boss, he was leaning on a table, looking at me with cold eyes.“I guess the rich don't forgive after all," I whispered to myself.“Should I be worried you are going deaf?” Morgan asked.“No…..not

    Morgan's point of view I stood up in frustration as soon as Marrissa left my office.My plan had failed again.I really thought she would mess up the presentation.I had prepared a lengthy speech filled with insults to bombard her with.But no, she did extremely well, better than the others.Damn! She is good, no wonder dad insisted I rehire her.But her silence is killing me.I actually thought by now she should have acknowledged our night together, said something about it.Or is she too shy to talk about it?Nah, she doesn't look like the shy type.Didn't she enjoy it as much as I did? How could she just pretend like it had never happened?The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.To think I almost spilled it out myself, and yet she feigned innocence, like she didn't know what I was talking about.Damn you Marrissa, for making a fool out of me, I'll make you pay, I swear.A delicate knock on my door took me out of my thoughts.“Come in,” I said, taking my seat.Someone I d

    Marissa's point of view.It's been two hell of a week, my relationship with Morgan has gotten worse with each passing day.I thought my e-mail to him would set matters straight, but it only aggravated the issue.I really don't know why he hates me so much. Anyway, the feeling is mutual now. I feel sorry for whoever ends up as his wife, he is so unbearable.I laid on my bed, exhausted.This week has been crazy. Apart from Morgan's evil ways, I have been feeling under the weather of late."Huff," I exclaimed, recalling the event of the day.Flashback I was sitting in my office, arranging some files on my table, when the office phone rang.Marrissa, get me a cup of coffee, Morgan's voice thundered through the phone."What!

I feel nothing but hatred and anger towards her."Not only has she defiled me on many occasions, she has proven that not all women will fall for me, something I never thought was possible.Every day, I wake up thinking of ways to break her defense, to bend her and to make her realize that there is only one boss, and it is I, Morgan Thornhill."No one crosses me, no one defiles me, no one troubles me….""Except Marrissa Cooper," my inner mind ended the sentence for me.I picked up my phone and dialed a number.Funny, I didn't need to search for her number, I seemed to have it in my head.Yeah, yeah, I know what you are thinking, and I swear it can never be. She is the last person I would fall in love with, even if my life depended on it.My mind was convinced, but my manhood felt different.

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    Confused

    Morgan's point of view I looked around the bar, the place was dimly lit, the sound of low conversation and clinking glasses filling the air. I slid onto a stool at the bar and gestured to the bartender. “Whiskey,” I said. The bartender nodded and poured me a drink without a word. I grabbed the glass, downing half of it in one gulp, allowing the hot taste of the alcohol to burn my throat.I set the glass down and stared at the amber liquid, my mind replaying the doctor’s words over and over again. The conversation hadn’t lasted long, but every detail was burned into my memory.FLASHBACK I got a call from my doctor one Monday morning.Morgan, your test results are out, we need to talk about it immediately, he said."Is there a problem?" I asked, worried at his tone."See me as soon as possible," he said, handing the call.Doctor Allen has always been a man of few words.I'm sure all he wants to do is to complain about my busy schedule and give me a lengthy lecture about how impor

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    Holding on to her

    Morgan's point of view I barely remember the drive back to my father’s mansion. My hands gripped the steering wheel tighter than necessary and my foot pressed harder on the gas pedal than was safe. My mind was a mess, tangled between fear and hop Marrissa had to be there. “It's possible she went back to Dad's mansion to rest. She could have gotten tired of the serene at the hotel and wanted a change of environment.” That thought was the only thing that kept me sane.As soon as I pulled up, I didn’t even bother parking properly. I flung the car door open and ran into the house. My heart pounded against my ribs as I took the stairs two at a time, my only thought being, “please let her be here.” I reached her door and pushed it open without knocking. And the emptiness inside her room hit me hard.The sight of the neatly made bed and untouched belongings sent a sharp wave of panic through me. I called her again, pressing the phone to my ear, my pulse hammering. Still no reply. I

    Morgan’s point of view I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the half-empty bottle of whiskey in my hand. The ice had long since melted, watering down the alcohol, but the burn did nothing to dull the ache in my chest. I took another sip, letting the bitter taste coat my tongue as my mind circled back to the only thing I could not escape—Marrissa.Her face. Her voice. The way she looked at me on the terrace.There had been something in her eyes. Could it be pity, understanding or pure resentment? At this point, I can not really tell what she feels for me. I shut my eyes, trying to push the image away, but another face surfaced in my mind—one I had not allowed myself to think about in years.My mother.I could still hear her laughter, warm and soft as it filled the halls of our home. She was everything good in my world—the glue that held our family together, the only person who could soften my father’s sharp edges. She had that effect on people. Especially me.I remembered how sh

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    Creamy Bliss

    Molly's point of view I saw the confusion in Marrissa’s eyes, and my anger increased like wildfire. I could not tell who I was more angry with. Was it Morgan, Andre, Farrow, or Marrissa herself? How could she be so blind? How could she be so shameless, forcing herself on Morgan as if he were the last man on earth? Her marriage to him had been a mistake from the beginning. When she first told me about the divorce, I knew it was inevitable. It was only a matter of time before Morgan Thornhill discarded her as he did everything else that no longer served his purpose. And now, the fact that she is actually considering going back to him makes my blood boil. I had always known Marrissa to be strong and wise, yet here she was, acting foolish and weak. I refused to believe that she had become one of those women—those pitiful creatures who stayed and suffered under the illusion of love. No, Marrissa was better than that. Or at least, she used to be. Maybe it was the influence of bei

    Marrissa's point of view I stared at her, ready to hear whatever she had to say.Molly exhaled loudly, as if this burden was too much for her to bear. “I didn’t want to tell you before, because I knew how much you cared about him. But… Marrissa, Morgan hasn’t exactly been faithful to you.” I frowned. “Okay, what exactly do you know?” She nodded quickly. “I found out a while ago." I just—I didn’t know how to bring it up. But you need to know. He’s been seeing someone else.” A cold chill ran down my spine, but something about the way she said it made me pause. “Who?” Molly blinked. “What?” I leaned in. “Who is he supposedly seeing?” She looked away for a brief second, and that hesitation told me everything I needed to know. “Molly…” I whispered, suddenly feeling on edge. She cleared her throat. “I—her name is Lisa.” Lisa? The name meant nothing to me. “Lisa who?” Molly shifted in her seat. “Just… Lisa. I don’t know her last name. But I’ve seen them together, Marriss

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    A breaking point

    Marrissa's point of view I watched Morgan walk away and sighed in frustration.At this point, my mind was more of a battlefield than an organ. My memories keep clashing with fears, love wrestling with pain. Morgan's words kept ringing in my ears, wrapping around me like a chain I was not sure that I wanted to break. "I need a distraction before I run mad," I whispered, dialing Molly's number. I wanted to be sure she was at home.After confirming she was I booked a ride to her apartment. I closed my eyes all through the journey, forcing back the tears threatening to fall.By the time I arrived at Molly’s apartment, my hands were trembling, my chest tight with everything I had been holding in. I knocked weakly, barely able to stand upright anymore. The door opened almost instantly, and the moment I saw Molly’s familiar face, the last bit of control I had crumbled. “Marrissa?” Her voice was soft, filled with concern. I could not answer. Tears spilled down my cheeks as my body sh

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    Mixed Emotions

    Marrissa's point of view The sound of cheers, laughter, and clinking of glasses filled the grand hall, a symphony of celebration that echoed through the luxurious hotel. The air was thick with joy, and at the center of it all stood Morgan and his father, radiating happiness. Mr. Thornhill, the newly elected governor, was the man of the hour, and rightfully so.I watched them, my heart swelling with joy. Morgan, a man who had spent years under the weight of his father's expectations, now stood beside him, as a silent pillar of strength and pride. He wasn’t smiling, not in the way others were, but I knew him well enough to see the quiet joy in his eyes. This was a victory not just for his father, but for him too.I was happy for them. If any of the candidates deserved to win, it was Mr Thornhill. He had the people’s best interests at heart, and I knew he would bring the kind of change the city needed. He was a powerful force, one I had admired from afar before I ever became entangled i

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    The campaign begins

    Mr Thornhill's point of view My governor's campaign was brutal from day one. My two main opponents, Étienne Moreau and Mathieu Lacroix, took politics to a different level.The televised debates were some of the most stressful moments of my life. Moreau spoke with calmness, deflecting criticisms with political finesse. Lacroix was blunt, attacking me for my radical policies and dismissing climate concerns as idealistic. But I fought back. When Moreau insisted Paris needed continuity, I countered, “Stability for whom? "The working class struggling to make rent or the elite profiting from their struggles?” When Lacroix preached economic growth through deregulation, I reminded him that unchecked greed had already made the city too hard for most people. As the election drew closer, the polls showed a tight race between me and Moreau, with Lacroix slightly trailing behind us. The media called it one of the most unpredictable elections in recent history. I knew I had a chance—but I also

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    The path to victory

    Mr Thornhill's point of view The weight of leadership is a heavy one, but I have carried it for decades. From building my business empire to navigating the treacherous waters of politics, I have learned that true power requires patience, resilience, and the right people by my side.My bid for governor was no different. It requires careful planning and strategy. That was why I called Morgan back to Paris. And, much to his surprise, I made sure Marrissa was involved as well.My son had always been brilliant, but he was arrogant, emotional, and stubborn. I had raised him to be a leader, yet he had a tendency to act before thinking, especially when it came to Marrissa. She was his greatest weakness and, ironically, his greatest strength. I knew that if I wanted him to focus, I had to bring her back.From the moment we announced my candidacy, the game had changed. The media swarmed around us, my opponents sharpened their knives, and every detail of my life was suddenly under scrutiny. I ha

    Morgan's point of view I watched as Marrissa walked away, her figure growing smaller with each step along the shoreline. The waves washed over the sand, erasing her footprints, much like she was trying to erase me from her life.The finality of her words rang in my ears."Let's just stick to the divorce plan."I should have expected it. Marrissa had every reason to walk away from me. But hearing those words come from her still hit harder than I wanted to admit.The wind blew violently, carrying the scent of salt and something bitter, my regret. My hands clenched at my sides as I watched her disappear over the dunes, heading back to the estate. I could chase after her. Tell her that she was making a mistake. That I was not ready to let her go.But I didn’t.Because I knew her.Marrissa wasn’t the type to make empty threats. When she made a decision, she stuck to it. And tonight, she had made hers.With a sharp sigh, I turned my eyes back to the ocean, staring at the endless stretch of
