Hello. Just one update today. Sorry. xoxo Lisa Salman-author
She closed her eyes and tried to swallow her tears. His nearness was again making it all hard to…He pulled back and eyed her carefully.“Have you been crying?” he held her chin between his thumb and forefinger, “What is it?” She was in no position to speak so she just shook her head.“Bella?” he called her, but she just smiled.Somehow it was embarrassing for her that he was always there to witness her weak moment.“You can keep your guard down. Remember? It's me. Marwick!” he tried to assure her. And then pulled her back to him.“Let’s get you out of here,” River instantly shook her head and spoke for the first time.“My make-up. I must be looking…”“You look beautiful. If you want to go to your room for a touch-up, then that’s fine. But trust me. You are the most beautiful woman in that goddamn room, little lamb!”For some reason that made her chuckle. She sniffed her nose and tilted her head up to look at him, “thank you… for making me feel better.”“Pleasure!” he offered her his
He kept walking around attending to his guests and didn’t leave her hand for even a single second. Though she couldn’t understand a single word of the business language they were using, but still she felt happy. She didn’t care if the language was alien. She could only feel his hand holding her. Every now and then his thumb used to make circles on her palm unconsciously and she found it intimate. All she wanted to do was lean into his touch. As Marwick smoothly guided her through the crowd, she kept studying people around her. But the man beside her was the main subject. She couldn't help but steal glances at the man who seemed to effortlessly command the room. “Mr. Garner.” A woman approached them with a plate of hors d'oeuvres, “I’m planning to visit sycamore city soon. Would love to meet you there. Can I…” The young woman seemed energetic and ambitious. River had seen her somewhere. She looked at River with a smile, “How are you? I saw you when you made your way to the confere
River’s heart was drumming in her ears when she started getting ready for him. She hadn’t got enough lingerie in her luggage, but she decided to keep it simple. She took a shower and then shaved her legs. While slathering vanilla-scented body butter on her body she could almost imagine his hands roaming on her body. With a soft exhale, she reached for a deep maroon bra that was both elegant and pretty. The matching underwear was adorned with the same lace pattern. She carefully slipped into the lingerie, the sensation of the lace against her skin sending a tingling shiver down her spine. The deep maroon was complimenting her complexion, highlighting the subtle curves and contours of her body. She blow-dried her hair and left it cascading in loose waves around her shoulders, framing her face in a cascade of raven silk. As she admired herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but imagine his reaction when he would finally lay eyes on her. Now all she had to do was wear a light chiff
She wanted to tie her legs around his waist. But she waited until he went down and started sliding down his panties.She gulped down her own spit and lifted her legs. After tossing it away on the floor he looked straight at her.Only his gaze was enough to melt her.They both were not wearing anything and by now River wasn’t feeling embarrassed at her nakedness.She was burning. Her whole body was in flames. The place between her legs seemed to be blazing. There was a raw need in every fiber of her body. When she could not take it anymore, she closed her eyes and shook her head, “what’s happening to me?”She opened her eyes and looked at him nervously yet excitedly and licked her dry lips.The little action caught his attention. Holding her by her legs, he almost dragged her on the mattress to pull her to his hot body. Only to find hers was hotter.“Wait a minute,” he quickly got up from the bed and wrapped a towel around his waist. She frowned when he left the room.What was the matt
“I hope I didn’t hurt you,” he asked her, gently shifting her hair back, “I’ve never made love to a virgin and …” “You what?” she got up momentarily forgetting the sheets to cover herself. His eyes immediately dropped to her boo*bs. “Eyes here, Marwick.” She snapped the fingers of her good hand, “Who told you that I am a virgin?” Marwick who was slowly descending his head to kiss her bud, stopped right there. His eyes shot up in surprise, “You … I thought…” Now he rested his palms on the bed and sat up, “Last time when we were kissing during that hashbrown issue…” She nodded with a smile at the memory. “You said you are not much experienced in that department. So, I assumed…” “No! Oh!” she laughed, “I meant, I wasn’t experienced in the kissing department. Never got a chance with a good kisser who could train me.” She murmured and lifted her hand to touch the skin of his taut abs. “But no. I am not a virgin. Do you have any problem with that, Mr. Garner?” she was looking for any
Ashton Garner threw away the phone. It landed on the floor and crashed. Chad was looking at it open-mouthed.Today Ashton Garner called him to his place for telling him the good news that his job was almost ninety-nine percent confirmed.“Hell!” he balled his hands into fists, “how dare he?” Ashton Garner spat in anger.“That fu*cker! How dare he?” Ashton walked to the glass cupboard that had all the marble and glass decorations, collected from around the world.He looked around when his gaze fell on the paperweight. Without giving it much thought he picked it up and threw it on the glass showcase with full force.“Mr. Garner!” Chad went to him and tied his arms around his waist, “Please control yourself!” Chad tried to console him, but Ashton’s face was turning crimson in rage with each passing minute.“My friend is very close to Marwick and Marwick takes him as his mentor. This man promised me that he will not only talk to Marwick but will also make sure that you are hired. He had a
Her hand was searching for him beside her. It was the coldness that made her open her eyes and sit up in bed. He must have left quite early.She found it rude and that made her furious. How dare he?He seemed to like her. For God's sake, they made love last night and here he had…Couldn’t he wait for her? Or was he out, bringing breakfast or something? She jumped out of bed, with her sheet still wrapped around her.After the shower, she didn’t call for Greta and got ready without her help. It did take time, but she was angry and a little hurt too.She wore a cream-colored, off-shoulder top with black skin-fitting jeans.When Greta saw her coming out of the room, she panicked, “You are awake. You should have called me, ma’am.” River just nodded her head politely and walked to the small kitchen of the cottage.“I can order food for you from cottage service,” Greta offered looking at her face carefully, but she kept doing her work.The conference room was just across the living room, and
When she kept standing there drumming her fingers on her other arm, Marwick released a sigh and closed his eyes.“Ok. Sit down.” River nodded in appreciation and took a seat around the large table. Marwick sat beside her and picked up the intercom.“Greta. Please send breakfast for three people inside the conference room,” he barked and placed the receiver.“Now spill. What it is?” River demanded.Gerald raised his hand to ask for Marwick’s permission. When Marwick nodded, Gerald cleared his throat.“Marwick came here on my insistence so that we can get the bidding. And we succeeded. It was necessary for our international market. This bidding is signed and now we are again number one on the international market.”“Ok, that’s good.” River was aware of it because last night’s party was the celebration for securing the position back to number one.“The problem is these small biddings from local vendors. We are failing in it. Yesterday when we got this bidding, we also failed to grab a sm
