There was no better memory for Moreau to retrieve when she woke up and found herself in bed. The dizziness in her head was excruciating, even as Moreau tried to adjust her sitting position. She winced. The atmosphere around the room tended to be different. Stupidly, it didn't immediately make her look around, so she was immediately surprised to find Abihirt there, sleeping on the sofa-still so soundly.
What happened last night? Moreau wondered almost without a clue. she could never remember a time when the man was willing to stay away from her bed. Abihirt could choose to sleep amongst the remaining space on the next bed, as he often did, and when he didn't this time... it was quite something in Moreau's mind. She searched for answers, but didn't want to overstep her bounds. There was no privilege in her to end up at such a point of bravery. AbihiMoreau didn't want to believe it, but she found no hint of a lie revealed there. Her stepfather continued to tell the truth, and didn't even seem to care if Moreau found herself doubting it. There seemed to be no intention of adding anything other than asking questions. "What were you doing at the nightclub?" Moreau had already guessed. However, she had yet to find an appropriate expression, other than actually wanting to vent something that had become a weight on her shoulders. "Just going to have fun. Why?" She asked back. As usual to test Abihirt's patience. "You went alone?" Moreau's eyebrows raised almost faintly. The pure instinct in her seemed to understand where Abihirt's curiosity was headed. She hoped the man did not meet Juan, if and when... indeed, Abihirt brought her home. "Who I go with is none of your business, Abi." Instead of answering, Moreau tried to mask reality. It would be too bad if she involved Juan after receiving no news at all. It was her fault
"Mr. Lincoln will be back in a few minutes after the meeting." Moreau understood that her stepfather was involved in important business, just never thought that she was coming at an inopportune time, especially... it would make Juan wait at the training center for longer than expected, even though she had made sure it would not be long. Yes. However, there was no telling how far off 'a few minutes' the woman in front of her was referring to as she led Moreau through a brilliantly glass-lined hallway. "You can wait here, Miss Riveri." Moreau stared nervously, almost tracing the spot she had been directed to. The dark-haired woman, covered in neat coils at the crown of her head smiled immediately, then said goodbye. Only ushering then left Moreau alone with the one person there, to be slightly surprised after trying hard to recall the rest of
There was nothing to tell. Moreau didn't think this would be a problem. It was not something wrong to do. "I still don't understand what you mean." Moreau almost smiled, but she restrained herself. Roki should be smart enough to understand the situation. "Last night you said you saw me at the wedding. I was supposed to be there. It was my mother who got married." There was a pause between them. Moreau was preparing herself when she found Roki's jaw involuntarily drop so faintly. The man gawked for a few moments, probably gathering the remnants of knowledge that had been lost. "You mean, Abi married your mother and you are family?" Moreau nodded careful
Moreau's bright blue irises traced every detail on Roki's face with determination. She wanted to see if the man had any guilt after saying that or anything else. However, there was none. There was nothing left that she could find. Moreau took a breath, intending to say something-but was stopped by someone's firm steps. "What are you both talking about?" Abihirt was already towering over her with the appearance of never failing. Moreau almost froze, but then she quickly realized she had Roki talking, approaching the man who seemed reluctant to respond. Perhaps he should just... say something. "I don't remember inviting you to my office today." Abihirt made a statement, but the odd grin on Roki's face was like the demeanor of a sycophant, which Moreau knew the man had just recently, vigorously talked about her stepfather, even if it wasn't too bad news. "You know what I want to do when I come to your office." Moreau almost took a deep breath digesting Roki's statement there.
Moreau stared at Roki's body that had stepped away in the distance. That man was quite strange, suddenly appearing with a facial expression of pleasure, then making the situation feel very surprising when unexpectedly pulling her up, then making sure that she stood in front of the door, transfixed, while the man had completely disappeared from sight. All that remained was the need to make a bold decision. Moreau took a quick breath. The first consideration began with the tightening grip of her hand on the doorframe. Slowly she pressed there, leaning slightly into the room to find Abihirt looking thoughtfully at the paperwork in front of the man. Moreau was sure her every step would feel heavy when, after all... there was no reason to stay silent for too long, but she felt so hesitant to move past any tension between them. Hardly able to end the fingers of the hand tightening on the
Moreau had expected that there would be a moment where she faced her stepfather's question after Roki's statement, which made the man stare with a smart glint in his eyes. Something that really did not need to be considered odd. Everyone would know their true relationship; bound into a family relationship, and should not be involved with illicit agreements. "What is there that I don't need to say?" Moreau asked back. She knew exactly the man's intentions, choosing not to show them in Abihirt's presence. The thing was, this should not have been brought up. Moreau only intended to correct Roki's train of thought, so as not to keep thinking things with bad connotations between them, and also to avoid the conversation getting too steep. "You spoke to Roki about the relationship between you and your mother?" "That's the case, isn't it, in fact?" Moreau
There was no smile, no particular expression, perhaps other things Moreau could think of. Abihirt brought his face carefully closer, paralyzing like a grenade had just exploded in her chest. Moreau's body froze, and when Abihirt dropped his mouth on her lips, the kiss was fierce, passionate, expressing an array of pent-up desires. Moreau gasped as sturdy arms pulled one her leg up to wrap around the man's sexy waist. She opened her mouth, letting her stepfather's number cram into a cavity that felt familiar. It's enough to despair, to give in, as rough, clay hands creep between loose strands of her hair, pressing their faces closer for a searing hot sensation, suffocating her until she can barely breathe. Moreau's leg muscles suddenly went weak as Abihirt's hand slid down there. The man's deft fingers found their way under the thin pants. She gasped, immediately gripping onto Abihirt's shou
The touch of Moreau's hand finally ended up being an arm around her stepfather's neck. Returning every brush of lips, though every now and then... a vestige of sanity tried to betray. Taking the time to let Moreau's logic and body language battle it out. She was battered to serve the man before her, slowly forced to open her legs wider as Abihirt had stripped off the cloth pants, which then pooled under the man's legs. "This is your office, Abi." Moreau pressed her stepfather's chest, hoping this would remind them of their overwhelming desire. The passion in the man's eyes had been unconditional. This was where they would end their wild love-making. Moreau's lips parted to find the man had entered her. Abihirt's sexy hips moved, as if infiltrating between Moreau's pulses to make her crumble, mistaken, helpless, then clung tightly to the man's shoulders. "Abi ...." Moreau let out a stifled groan. Every sensation was moving toward her center. So much so that she wasn't sure she
