Phoebe’s POV
I stare restlessly at the golden-edged ceiling design while listening to ‘Fire for you’. I scoff at the irony of the song as the lyrics register in my head.
It was half-past 2 am and yet I still did not manage to get a wink of sleep.
The dinner at the hall still kept playing in my head like a bloody broken record on repeat as I remember the way Blaze looked at me. Thinking about him was a massive crime and I wasn’t being dramatic for no reason.
First off he was Noah’s elder cousin which I still found odd since, over the last few years of me hanging out at their house, I never met him. Ever.
Then there’s the fact of him being the freaking CEO of the industry who hired me. I mean isn’t there any non-fraternization policy for this sort of thing?
What irked me the most was the fact of how much he affected me. Or more like how much his mere presence made me feel.
It was like a deadly fever I couldn’t shake off. I still remember the hot stares he gave me during the dinner. While everyone was busy chattering their ass off, nobody noticed all the hot glances he was giving me now and then. Honestly, I don’t even know if he desired me at all.
I mean he was the epitome of a Greek god. His muscles were practically ripping from the suit he wore like a second skin. It was obvious that every woman adored him and threw him lusty stares all the time judging from the fact that as soon as he entered the hall, all heads were turned on his way. Even Ava looked at him in awe which made me feel slightly jealous.
He was like a walking wet dream and for the first time in my life, I wanted to be pinned under a man. I wasn’t a virgin but sex was never on my list of priorities. However, after seeing Blaze, I felt like dry tinder ignited on fire. Which sounded pretty funny given that his name was Blaze, well I had to say that he did stick to his name and aroused passion within me.
God! Just the mere thought of him left me tingling in desirous sensation everywhere.
Pushing his thoughts aside, I decide to abandon sleeping and hop up from the bed to get some fresh air outside. I check my appearance in the enormous Venetian mirror. I was wearing a black quarter sleeved crop top paired with white shorts. I looked fine, to be honest. On my way out, I grab my ballet flats and open the bedroom door.
I release a breath of relief when I don’t see Gerard. I really didn’t like him much and it also didn’t help the fact that he was the one who showed me around the giant castle. That idiot was the most boring guide of the century.
I decide to go to the kitchen to fetch water before heading towards the balcony. As soon as I reach the ginormous kitchen that was on my floor. I open the fridge and take out a bottle of fresh water which was still sealed. As I almost passed the big kitchen counter, I stopped to admire the moonlight shining through the vast windows.
Sensing a presence beside me, I turn and come face to face with no one other than Blaze. He was standing a small distance away from him wearing a dark V-neck t-shirt and grey sweatpants. The way the shirt clung to his biceps almost made me drool. But my reverie gets broken when he asks “Thirsty?”
Not getting what he’s talking about, I stare at him in confusion until he points the long finger towards the water bottle in my hand.
Flushing for no reason, I nod vigorously and try to take a step behind.
Suddenly he lets out a chuckle and I stare at him skeptically.
“Do I really intimidate you that much, Phoebe?” He asks smiling. I smile inwardly when I hear him say my name for the first time.
I quickly flush again in embarrassment and stutter “W-what no! Of course not!” I let out a nervous laugh and turn at the kitchen counter not wanting to face him.
All of a sudden he comes behind me; his fingers curl around my waist in a feather-light grip and as he presses my back to his chest.
This prompt action causes my heart to accelerate as adrenaline and desire surge through my veins in a tidal wave.
“What are you d-doing?” I gasp as I feel his breath close to my ears.
My chest heaves as I struggle to take deep breaths as I feel his other hand caressing its way down from my ear lobe to my neck. He wraps his hand on my ponytail and tugs sharply to angle my neck to his lips. As soon as his lips touch the top side of my neck, my mouth opens widely in shock as I release a soft moan.
“I really don’t like listening to lies Phoebe. Especially coming from someone as innocent as you” He says whilst kissing my neck. The vibration of his voice on my neck travels all the way down to my groin as his grip tightens around me. If the situation was different I would’ve laughed about him calling me innocent but all my thoughts went haywire as he bit down on my neck putting exactly the right amount of pressure to make me clutch his shirt tightly.
“This is so wrong Blaze,” I say as my eyes roll back on my head due to this intense pleasure. I was literally trapped between him and the steel kitchen counter.
He lets out a groan and says “Fuck! My name feels so good on your lips”
Swiftly angling my face towards his, he captures my mouth his frenzy kiss. It was undoubtedly obvious that he was a really good kisser with probably a lot of experience. My belly clenched deliciously as he explored each contour of my mouth. I could feel myself grow wet with need.
Jesus! He wasn’t even naked and here I am all wet and hot for him.
As if reading my mind, his fingers travel south and push inside my shorts to find me bare underneath.
I grab a fistful of his hair and arch my back as soon as his thumb applies pressure to my clitoris.
“You really are an exquisite creature aren’t you?” He asks teasingly and before I can respond, all idea of speech abandons me as he pushes one long finger inside me.
I quickly grab the edges of the counter for support to avoid falling as my body is hit with pleasure.
“Christ Phoebe! You’re dripping wet” He rasps out as he bites on my shoulder.
As he keeps on pumping his fingers inside me, I feel myself build towards an orgasm.
“C’mon amore, let go!” I immediately come on his command and take drag precious air into my lungs. Vaguely I feel his hand coming out of my shorts and hear him suck on it, making me feel mortified.
“Oh lord, I can’t believe this happened” I shake my head not turning. Because I really had no courage to face him after this. Yes, he sure did give me one of the most intense orgasms of my life but it was wrong on so many levels.
I couldn’t believe that I allowed a stranger's hand down my pants whom I just met today. It was so humiliating. In the heat of the moment, I totally lost it.
Oh c’mon bitch, stop acting like you did not enjoy it!
Feeling him behind me once again, he whispers beside my ear in warning “Oh Ciccino, this is just the start”
Just like that, he leaves the kitchen like nothing happened, with me still stuck on the counter frozen with shock.

Phoebe’s POV“So, what do you think of this one?” Savita says as she shows me pictures of a mint green theme.“Oh hell no!” I shake my head with disdain. The theme indeed looked hideous. I would’ve said yes to any other occasions but this was a royal event. Everything had to look upscale and over the top. Noah specifically mentioned that ‘Go all out, no expense should be spared’ and I totally understood him. This was his first time handling a family project and from what I heard, his cousin was really hard to please.’Odd, he seemed to really enjoy you the other night’ my subconscious sniggered at me.I shake my head and instantly blush feeling mortified. After last night, I called myself a whore while facing the mirror at least a billion times.Yeah, like it would remove what you did last night.This morning after putting on a full-sleeved blue sh
Phoebe’s POVThe phone keeps on ringing on the bedside table yet I ignore it for the 37th time. I was literally boiling with rage. My hands were itching to turn the whole place upside down. I wanted to hurl the phone towards the wall as it started ringing again. I let out a huge groan of annoyance and immediately search my bag for medications that Alana prescribed me.I really wanted to call her right now but I knew that now would not be the best time.Begrudgingly, I check my phone and notice hundreds of texts from Noah and Ava. There were threads of apologies. But I couldn’t care less. Apparently, those idiots forgot to mention that theLordly“Woodwards” family will be joining us in Monaco. It was almost like avoiding cockroaches. No matter where you go, they will always be there, in some way or the other.It was a huge shock for me to see Emily and Nate in the lob
Phoebe’s POVI gasped as I felt tremors of horror ripple through me as I heard Noah on the other side of the door. Blaze on the other hand looked annoyed. I quickly slipped off his desk and looked at him for help. He quickly pointed towards another door on the left side of the study passing the large bay windows, overlooking the lake.I swiftly sprinted towards the door and once inside, I pushed the lock button on the doorknob and locked it close. I released a quick breath of relief and realized that I was inside a spacious washroom.I leaned on the door and sank on the floor as I heard Noah’s voice once again.“Was itreallythat much of an emergency for you to come here at this time?” Blaze said with clear contempt.“I k-know I’m sorry-y but this i-is really important” Noah stammered. It was a real shocker to hear Noah stammer because, over the last 5 years of me knowin
Phoebe’s POVI was braiding my hair in a fishtail when someone knocked on my door. I shouted a ‘come in’ from where I was standing, probably thinking it was the maids.However, the door opened, revealing Ava. She had a cautious expression on her face as I stared at her impassively not knowing what to say. After she comes to stand in front of me, she raises her hands which held a plastic box of chocolate pastry.She passes me an apologetic smile and I immediately burst into a laughing fit at her hilarious reaction.She looks at me like I’m crazy then she herself joins me in laughter. “It’s ok I forgive you. You know I can’t stay mad at you for long especially when you bring chocolate cake” I say.She passes me a soft smile and envelops me in a hug which I return. After a while, she lets go and I see her getting angry.“Jeez, I feel so mad right now at Nate. That bastard ha
Phoebe’s POVSoon it was evening and I was on my way to my room returning fromIrisfield.My crew already started doing their work after I instructed them accordingly.My whole time was spent inside the palace shouting people instructions to move things and talked with laborers and architects about the safety precautions since the place was really old and I did not want to take any chances of bricks or cement falling off.So I made sure that the majority of the dents were covered, floors checked twice to see if there was any creaking, modern equipment was installed, all rooms air-conditioned and especially all the dirt dusted to perfection. I studied the blue-print by heart so that I don’t get lost the next time around and noticed a couple of queer things.For instance, there were a few blank spaces here and there in the blueprints as if someone knowingly erased the maps to those certain areas and there were
Phoebe’s POVI didn’t go.Yeah, you all heard me right.Like the fucking coward I was, I didn’t go.Sometimes I wonder if something is wrong with me,Oh wait! There is!I know I was fucked up mentally in more ways than one but now I’m starting to doubt if there is anything wrong with my sexuality too.I mean I can bet my life on the fact that any girl would literally kill to get a fine specimen of a man like Blaze for themselves. Yet here I was, even after having several heated encounters with him, I still refused to give myself to him completely.I really did not understand my initial reaction to him. I don’t know why I cared so much about us working out like it’s going to go on for the long run. I knew very well that once this event was over, he would forget me and move on to his next ‘conquest’.Heck, he might as well be with someone else right no
Phoebe’s POVHe gets up from the bed and I pull the sheets to cover up my naked body and watch him in sadness.“Are you going to leave?” I voice out my thoughts and suddenly I feel vulnerable thinking about his departure.Damn it! I legit sounded like a whiny kid right now like someone snatched her candy away. For me that candy way Blaze.He looks at me for a long time and starts unbuttoning his shirt while keeping his eyes on me. I start feeling excited again thinking that maybe we will take the night further even though my body feels like a sagging sack of rice after all the exertions of today.I think to myself sadly, Blaze literally made me come at least, I honestly don’t know. I think I lost count after four. No man ever made me feel so much and sure ashellnever made me come this quick and somanytimes. Which makes it all even harder to go, I have no clu
Phoebe’s POVI woke up the next morning with a splitting headache and rolled around the Egyptian cotton. I breathed fresh air and suddenly become fully aware of my naked self and look on the other side to find the sheets rumpled.I jolt into a sitting position on the bed and massage my temples with my hands to relieve some pain away.It wasn’t like I was drunk last night but I had enough alcohol in my system to earn myself a pounding headache.I slump down on the padded headboard and look up at the ceiling.Instantaneously it all comes back to me and hits me like a freight train.Blaze fucking Hunter was in my room last night!It all comes back to me.Everysingledetail.I turn to look on the other side of the bed and disappointment washed over me like a tidal wave when I finally registered his absence. I wasn’t really expecting him to be bringing me breakfa
