VIVIANMy eyes fluttered awake, there was a weight pressed behind my back and I loved the feel of it.I gave a small moan as I pressed myself into the weight, a sensation crawled up on my stomach and I loved the feel.The warmness.I placed my hand on my stomach and my breath froze, making me jump out of the bed in fright.I blinked twice as hard as I started to realize that it wasn’t a dream that I was pressed against a weight but instead, it was none other than Nate in my fucking bed.The spot I occupied was now been felt up, his huge hands tapping the bed and slowly his eyes opened, the cutest set of eyes and normally in the past,I would be fawn over it but not today and certainly, not right now.“What the absolute hell! Are you doing here and in bed with me? “ I asked, my hands immediately crossed.Instead of Nate to respond to what I was asking, he took his sweet time to sit up and then proceeded to rub his eyes and the very image of it, irritated me.“Is this what you want to be
Chapter 51Vivian's POVThe elevator doors slid open and a man walked in.His chiseled features and strong jawline left me breathless. His dark hair was perfectly messy like he had just gotten out of bed and ran his fingers through it. He was dressed in a tailored suit, his broad shoulders filling out the fabric perfectly. His fragrance seemed familiar, a subtle blend of spice and leather that made my heart skip a beat.Nate's style was quite similar to his. For some reason, his cold smile reminded me of Nate. Wait, why was I thinking about that man? I caught myself allowing thoughts of him to intrude my head.I was staring too much at him. ‘Stop looking!’ my mind screamed at me but I was too stunned to move. He seemed to sense my gaze on him and turned to me, his eyes locking onto mine. I could feel my cheeks flushing at the sight of him as my mind raced thinking of where I had seen him before. “Good morning”, he greeted. His low and husky voice sent shivers down my spine. My mind
Vivian I glanced at my watch and realized it was almost past lunchtime. I had been so caught up with settling into the new job and meeting the boss that I had forgotten to eat. My stomach growled, reminding me of the need to be refuelled. I started packing up my stuff intending to head to the cafeteria. I looked forward to some quiet lunchtime alone, it would give me the space to think about the surprise encounter I just had with my boss. It was a series of events that left me dazzled. As I stood up from my desk, the interviewer sauntered in and stood in front of my desk. “Vivian, the board would like you to join them for lunch,” she said with a smile. I stared at her, my eyes widened in surprise. “Me? Why? What's happening?” Her smile widened. “They are interested in getting to know you better.” Getting to know me better? That sounds off for some reason. She seemed to have seen the questioning look I had on and grinned, “Please follow me.” I hesitated briefly, unsure of what
Vivian Nate's face inched closer to mine, his breath whispering against my skin. I could feel my heart racing, my body reacting to how close he was. Despite myself, I closed my eyes, my lips parted, anticipating the kiss. There was a silent tension when instead of the pressure on my lips, I felt him touching my hair. He was teasing me. My skin tingled as his fingers gently brushed against my hair, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. Nate's fingers were still in my hair. What was he waiting for goddamit? His hands seemed to closed around something, and he gently pulled it out of my hair. I looked up at him in confusion, but he smiled down at me, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "A piece of paper" he said, holding up the offending object. "You must have picked it up on your walk." I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as Nate straightened up, his eyes never leaving mine. For a moment, we just stared at each other, the tension between us palpable. Then, without another word, Nate t
Vivian's POV I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. My head was pounding, and my mouth felt dry. I must have had too much wine last night, I thought. I sat up, rubbing my temple. As I looked around the room, trying to figure out where I was, I tried to remember what had happened last night but my memories were hazy and unclear. I tried to piece together the events of the previous night, but everything was fuzzy. I remembered dinner, and then he brought me to his room. My mind stopped as I recalled the touching. Nate's hands on my skin, his fingers tracing my face. It felt so intimate, so sensual. But after that, everything was a blur. How did I end up in his bed? Did we...did we do something? I gasped. I glanced at the clock on Nate's nightstand and my heart sank. He wasn't here, thank goodness! I was already running late for work. I threw off the covers and got out of bed, my head spinning. I quickly rushed off to my room and took a hurried bath. Quickly cha
Vivian My heart raced in my chest as he approached me. My mind reeled as I tried to make sense of whatever was happening. I could feel the tension in the air as he closed the distance between us. My palms were beginning to get sweaty from how nervous I felt. I tipped my head back and peered into his stormy gray eyes, which stared back at me smilingly. This man was dangerous. His smile seemed to draw me in. I knew I shouldn't be curious since it might be my end, but I couldn't help myself. The spark in his eyes intrigued me and ensnared me without my knowing. I was caught in a whirlpool of confusion and anticipation as I waited. I caught myself in my thoughts. A sudden chill ran down my spine and Nate's face flashed before my eyes. A wave of alarm washed over me leaving me disoriented. What am I doing? My boss was now standing in front of me, with almost no space between us. He paused, his eyes still locked on mine. Then he gently reached out, his fingers brushing against my cheek a
Vivian's POVNate's face morphed slowly from shock to anger, his voice rising. "Why are you laughing, Vivian? Does this sound like a joke to you?”I wiped tears from my eyes, still chuckling. "Oh, Nate. You really think you have control over me, don't you? You think you can threaten me with my mother's care and I'll just cower?"He clenched his jaw and spat out. "I'm not threatening you, Vivian. I'm telling you the way it is."I laughed again, a cold, mirthless sound. "You're not telling me anything, Nate. You're trying to control me, but it won't work. There's nothing you can do to stop me from leaving, from quitting my job, from living my life the way I want to."He gritted his teeth, trying hard to control himself. "Is that so? Well, we'll see about that."I smiled, a fierce glint in my eye. "Yes, we will. But for now, I'm done with this conversation.”“We're only done when I say we are done.” He bellowed in anger.I gave him a scanty look, my eyes scanning his furious face with a
Vivian's POVI stood frozen, my mind reeling with confusion, as the abrupt command hung in the air.I looked at him, trying to read his expression, but it was unreadable. I glanced around the room, wondering if I had done something wrong, but everyone else seemed just as shocked as I was.For what felt like an eternity, I stood there, unsure of what to do next. But then, just as suddenly as he had stopped me, the CEO spoke up again."Please, continue, Vivian. I apologize for the interruption. I had to rectify an issue and didn't want to miss your presentation."I let out a sigh of relief, my shoulders sagging in gratitude. I nodded, still a bit shaken, and took a deep breath to compose myself.I felt a mix of emotions from what he had said. It was an honor for someone like him to want to earnestly listen to what I want to say, I felt a bit of pressure, and nervousness knowing he expected so much from me.“Thank you, sir," I said, trying to sound confident. "As I was saying..."I pause
