CLINT’s POVMy eyes cracked open as I felt the sun's warmth on my skin. My eyes registered the ceiling first until I slowly turned to my side and saw Keira sleeping soundly beside me. Her hair was sprawled on the pillow, and her face looked peaceful. I could not help but stare at her momentarily, admiring her beauty.Keira was stunningly beautiful, with a face that could launch a thousand ships. Her lips were plump and pink, and I loved the way they looked when she smiled. But what really caught my attention was her body. She was curvy in all the right places, and her skin looked smooth and soft.Since it was the weekend, I planned to take Keira to the park on a surprise date. After a long week of unending problems, I wanted Keira to relax and let loose.I slowly reached out to trace the outline of her face, feeling the warmth of her skin against my fingertips. She stirred a little, her eyes sliding slowly."Mmm, Clint?" She mumbled."Good morning, sleepy head," I said gently, a smile
KEIRA’s POVI slammed the door shut behind me, feeling a sense of regret wash over me. Clint's invitation was tempting, and I would have jumped at it before he even asked, but my promise to Natasha kept ringing in my head.I was barely at home most of the time, and she had asked that we eat dinner together, seeing as it had been a long time since we had done that. I let out a sigh and removed my bag from my shoulder.As I approached the living room, I heard Natasha's voice booming from the living room."Oh yeah! Do not forget to take some pictures and bring some souvenirs back with you," she giggled.She sounded rather giddy. Who on earth was she talking to? Had she gotten a boyfriend or something?"Alright, I will talk to you later, Brendon."My heart skipped a beat. Brendon? Was she talking to Brendon?I walked into the living room, and Natasha paused. She had been roaming in front of the couch with a phone to her ear. The bright smile on her face died down, and the phone slid down
KEIRA’s POV"Hey, are you asleep already? I really miss you right now."I read the text repeatedly, my cheeks flaming hot as I flushed. It was a text from Clint that sparked a fire in my heart. Absent-mindedly, I took off my apron and gloves.Picking up my phone and headed up to my room. I shut the door behind me immediately and flopped down on the bed. My fingers began clicking away as I texted back."What a coincidence; I miss you too." I texted back.A few seconds later, Clint texted back."I am glad. I wish you could have followed me back to my place, though.""Hmm, why?""Is that not obvious? I wanted to ravish your body. You are the only thought that has occupied my mind."I bit my lips as a surge of desire ran through me."Do you...still feel that way right now?" I texted.The chat went dead for a few minutes until Clint's message popped up on my screen."Definitely, I crave you right now,"I swallowed hard and began to type. "Me too."Clint did not text back for minutes, and i
KEIRA’s POV As I walked into Clint's office, I felt excitement creeping up my spine. I could not shake off the atrocious things we had said and did yesterday. My eyes found Clint, who was nose deep in paperwork as he sat behind his desk. His eyes moved to me, and I felt my heart skip a million beats.I took a seat on the couch. Today just felt noticeably different, and I knew why."Hey Keira, how is it going?" Clint asked with a warm smile.He looked so comfortable sitting there. Was I the only one reliving the memories of last night? Did it affect only me? The thought made me a little sad. I had expected him to fret about it, just like I did. "I am alright, I guess," I replied and blushed."So, how has life been treating you lately?" he asked, getting straight to the point.I let out a sigh and decided to push those thoughts aside. It was time for therapy."I don't know. It's just been stressful. I still feel anxious about taking over my father's company. It is a huge responsibil
KEIRA’s POVFear. I could feel the utter fear consume my entire being. Face to face with me was a man I had never expected to see. I was frozen, petrified, unable to speak or move. I still remembered the outline of his face like it was yesterday. His jet-black was slicked back, complimenting his golden brown eyes. He looked older now, from the last time I had seen him. He had an overgrown, scruffy beard on his chin now. As I kept my gaze on him, my heart pounded in my chest, and my palms were sweaty. I felt sick to my stomach, and I could barely breathe. I wished the earth would open up and swallow me this instant.What was Calvin doing here? It felt like I was dreaming as I stared at my stepbrother. "How do you do, Keira?" he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.How could he ask me that question when he knew very well how I have been doing?I could feel the anger and fear rising inside me, but I tried my best to remain calm. "What do you want, Calvin?" I asked, my voice shakin
CLINT’s POVI walked into the meeting room, the sound of my footsteps echoing against the polished floor. The room was spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows on one side that offered a breathtaking view of the city skyline. The walls were painted a muted shade of blue, and the large oval table in the centre of the room was surrounded by plush leather chairs.Kane was already seated at the head of the table, along with several other investors. I took my seat next to Kane and waited for the meeting to begin. After a few minutes of small talk, Kane cleared his throat and called the meeting to order."I have called you all here today because I have an important announcement to make," Kane began, his voice commanding attention. "As you all know, I am not getting any younger, and it is time for me to start thinking about my successor."The room fell silent as everyone leaned forward, eager to hear who Kane had chosen to take over his empire."I am proud to announce that my daughter, Keira,
KEIRA’s POVI walked down the hallway of my department building, Natasha walking right beside me. There was this feeling etched at the back of my neck, running down my spine. Was it fear? I could not help but feel like someone was watching me and following me every step. My mind slipped deep in thought, replaying the encounter I had with my stepbrother, Calvin, over and over again.Calvin had appeared before me after years of being absent and had threatened me to hand over my father's company to him on a platter. The worst part was the dirt he had on me. Thinking about it made me sick to my stomach. I was shaken up by the encounter, and my anxiety was only growing with each step I took.What was I going to do? According to him, I had one week to give him an answer. I was stuck in a dilemma, unable to do anything. Should I hand over the company? Or do I let him share the picture of Clint and I to the media?The thought of that made all the blood drain from my face. That was not an op
KEIRA’s POVI lay on my bed, staring up at the ceiling as my mind raced with anxious thoughts. The room was so dark that I could barely see my own hand in front of me. The curtains were drawn tightly over the window, blocking out any sliver of sunlight that dared to enter. It was daytime, but it might as well have been the middle of the night.Calvin's sudden appearance had shaken me to my core. When he disappeared from our lives, I was glad. I thought I was finally safe, but his appearance had shattered that illusion. I was too scared to leave my room, too scared to face him again.What if he was right outside the house, waiting for me? Now, I was hyper-aware of my surroundings.My anxiety was at an all-time high, and every little sound made me jump. I could not focus on anything, and my mind was constantly racing with worst-case scenarios. I felt trapped, like a prisoner in my own room.Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door and Natasha's voice calling out to me. "Keira, are you okay?
