Ethan sat in the board room and stared absentmindedly out of the window while the others argued about which projects were currently a priority. “We should focus more resources on this project because it’s expected to make us a ton of money next year,” one of his vice presidents argued passionately while pointing at the screen where several charts and graphs were displayed. “If we put a lot more effort into developing this technology now, we’ll be able to sell it later for an insane amount of profits.” “I agree,” another VP chimed in. “It makes perfect business sense to invest our money and time into developing something that’s going to pay off big in the future. That’s exactly what investors want us to do anyway.” “But we have to look at the bigger picture here too,” a third VP countered. “Sure, investing in something like this may bring in huge profits later but it won’t necessarily make our shareholders happy right now because most of them prefer short-term returns over long-term
For the next few days, Vinnie heard nothing from Mr Doyle.Strange, as she had expected to see him more often, now that they had…done a little bit of those intimate things. They had kissed. They had touched. And he had made her feel so much more than she could have imagined.Honestly, that man was absolutely good with things that he could do with his mouth alone. Vinnie had no regrets. No shame. And no reluctance to admit that she wanted for it to happen again. She wanted him close, close enough to make her forget about the process called breathing. She wanted his large and warm hands on her body, his lips on her skin and his rugged, hard-as-marble body flushed with her own.Shit. Was she getting ahead of herself? Had she become obsessed with that man somehow? But how could she? He had only spent one night with her. Just one night. And even then they hadn’t gone all the way. She was still a virgin. She knew because she had seen more than enough porns to know what to expect when things
“Are you sure this is the address?” The man asked, glancing out the tinted window of the hired car and up the tall building complex towering over them in the distance. “Positive,” Little Jo responded, typing away on his smartphone and only stopping once or twice to stare intently at the screen before resuming his task. “This is where she lives.” “Hmm,” rings of smoke billowed out of the man’s mouth as he took a long drag from his cigarette before stubbing it out in the ashtray attached to the dashboard of the car. “It’s been a while since I last saw her. I wonder if she’s still as beautiful as I remember her to be.” “Man, seriously?” Little Jo’s brows rose in mild disbelief. “Are you seriously calling that bitch beautiful? That woman stood against you in court and sent you to prison for five years, brother! Are you even thinking straight?” The man shrugged in response, unbothered by his brother’s reaction. “What can I say? I’ve always had a thing for those sexy librarian types. Bes
By the time, Jade dropped Vinnie back to the apartment, Vinnie was exhausted like hell. Her feet hurt from walking all over town with Jade for the entire afternoon, and her shoulders and back ached from carrying the heavy shopping bags. Well, if truth be told, it was her fault for not letting Jade call the driver to pick them up after they left the mall. Vinnie refused because she didn’t want to bother the driver arranged by Alex so she could go wherever she wanted. The driver seemed old enough to remind her of her father and Vinnie felt embarrassed asking him to haul so many bags around town with them. And it wasn’t like she couldn’t handle carrying a few shopping bags anyway. Sure, Jade had bought an absurd amount of clothes, shoes, and accessories for her, but it wasn’t that heavy, was it? Well, ask her throbbing feet and aching arms. She rolled her eyes. Nope. Not at all. Jade was good company though and Vinnie thoroughly enjoyed being with her, despite her slightly over-enthus
“Did I wake you?” He asked. She shook her head, signing that he didn’t wake her up. She signed that she woke up on her own and was about to ask him whether he wanted something to eat or drink when he interrupted her midway. “Good,” he nodded his head slowly, the lines on his forehead still too tight and tense for Vinnie to relax. “That’s good.” She tilted her head to the side curiously, wondering what was bothering him so much. Was it something that happened at work? Vinnie wanted to ask but she didn’t want to come off as nosy or annoying either. So instead, she waited patiently for him to continue talking. “I see you have been busy,” he stated casually, eyeing the pile of shopping bags scattered all over the floor near the couch. Vinnie blushed slightly when she realized that he might think she went overboard with her spending but then reminded herself that Mr Doyle himself had arranged for Alex to give her a credit card to use however she liked. But still, a part of her felt g
The hot water hit her skin almost instantly, making her gasp in surprise. It was exactly when Mr Doyle felt her presence behind him and turned. Vinnie held her breath when he glanced over his shoulder, before his body turned completely towards her. Their eyes locked together and the realization of what she had done slowly began to sink in. “Vinnie…?” He breathed out quietly and she swore her heart skipped a beat at the way he said her name. It was soft and gentle and for a brief second, she thought she saw a hint of surprise flash across his face. But then again, she did something unexpected. She had taken the kind of initiative that he probably didn’t expect from someone like her. She swallowed, feeling her throat move. Mr Doyle stayed where he was, unmoving, as if waiting for her to make a move, but she couldn’t. She couldn’t think straight, let alone move. She might have been impulsive when she decided to take such a huge step, but now that she had done it, she was suddenly un
She bit the inside of her cheek hard as he pumped his fingers in and out of her at a steady pace. Her toes curled involuntarily, the sensation of being stretched and filled was almost too much for her to handle.A groan escaped past her lips and Mr Doyle responded by slipping his fingers in deeper, hitting spots that no one had ever touched before. The pleasure was almost blinding. She didn’t know what to do or how to respond to this kind of feeling, to this kind of ecstasy that was flowing through her veins like wildfire.“Fuck, I could do this forever,” he growled under his breath, and Vinnie shivered at the way he said it, his voice dripping with so much lust that it left her trembling with want.She gripped his shoulders tightly as he continued thrusting his fingers inside of her at an almost punishing pace, driving her absolutely insane with his movements. But then, as if he suddenly decided that he wanted to punish her a little more, he lifted her other leg and wrapped it around
Vinnie had never been the one to eavesdrop on anyone’s conversation. She understood the need for privacy. She respected it. But damn! The conversation between the two men sitting in the booth behind her was way too intriguing and amusing to turn a deaf ear. She couldn’t help it. The more she tried to look away to distract herself or focus on the cup of coffee in front of her, the more inquisitive she became. Their words tickled her ear and pushed an amused grin to her naturally pink lips. “I’m so fucking fed up with this!” One of them snapped in a low voice. “If I have to deal with such big-headed, melodramatic and materialistic witches one more time, I might just lose it.” “Just like you aren’t already?” The other man quipped, probably with an eye-roll, not that Vinnie could see to make sure. But she liked the image in her head. It was funny. She tried not to snicker too loudly. “You think it’s funny, don’t you?” The snappy one bit out, his voice deep and dark with unbridled irr
