KATEI found Lisa on the couch, dressed to go out, and she gave me an investigative look. I tried to pretend that I hadn't just run out after my first day of work."Hi!"I took big steps toward the kitchen."Hi! Is something wrong?""No. Why?""Because it looks like something happened.""I'm just tired... that's all."I sat at the table to make a sandwich after grabbing some stuff from the fridge."How was your first day?""Normal."Normal was the one thing it hadn't been."And your boss? What's he like? Besides being incredibly sexy and hot, is he... nice?""He... He's... He's professional!""Professional?" She laughed. "Seriously, Kate? Professional? A guy like him—professional isn't the right word to describe him. He looked incredibly sexy in the photos."At least someone was smarter than me and researched Ryan's face."He's my boss, Lisa." I rolled my eyes at her. You didn't consider that when you let him make you come, a few minutes ago. Damn."I'd love to have a boss like him,"
KATEHer words aroused desire between my legs; I was pulsing with longing. His hands lifted my nightgown by the sides of my body. I wanted to feel him, deep down, consuming me, but I opened my eyes, realizing it was happening again. Once again, he managed to take away my reason."I can't, Nathan," I said, pushing him away and stepping back. Then he started to take off his shirt. Damn! "What are you doing?" He approached, making me step back and pressing me against the wall. Grabbing my wrists, he pinned my hands above my head and kissed me roughly. Damn it. I tried to turn away. "No... stop." He didn't let me speak. His lips were insistent."Shhhh..." He slid his finger over my lip. "How I want to feel that little mouth..." He bit his lower lip. "But not today."With swift movements, he used one hand to remove my nightgown, and then he used his shirt to bind my hands."No, Nathan..." He covered my mouth with one hand."Shhh. I know you want this. Be a good girl."His eyes focused o
KATELisa was in her pajamas on the couch, drinking coffee. Thanks to the pharmacy pregnancy tests I did the night before, I managed to sleep, and now I was feeling more at ease. It didn't even seem like I had almost freaked out before finding the courage to check the results."Good morning," she said lazily."Good morning; did you arrive today?" I asked."Yeah, in the early morning.""Did everything go well?""Yes.""That's great! And when do you start?""Next week. Say hello to the new assistant to Carter's CEO.""Wow!""It's not just you who's super important now," she laughed. I hoped she wouldn't have the same luck as me, I thought as I poured myself a coffee."Kate?""Yes?""Are you okay?""Yes. Congratulations!" Lisa always knew when I wasn't okay, but she didn't press further."Okay. Are you doing anything tonight?""No.""Then, can you accompany me to Emy's birthday party?""Emy?""The one you met at the mall.""Emily Miles?""Yeah! Please, Kate.""I'm sure you can find a mu
KATEIt was almost six o'clock when I woke up. I took a shower and sat in front of my vanity mirror. I needed to do something with my hair. I wasn't as excited about the party as I would have liked to be. All thanks to that damn Ryan.I wish I could forget about him for a while. Or maybe forever. No. I couldn't forget about the best moments I ever experienced. I couldn't understand what I was feeling. Was it just because of the amazing sex? Why was I so obsessed with him? Maybe because he made me feel desired. Or because of the pleasure he could give me. Maybe it's just because this is new to me. The sex.All I wanted was to have him all to myself, for an indefinite time. Where I could do whatever I wanted. Just to satisfy the crazy urge to feel him inside me, touching me, kissing me. Even though I felt like it was insatiable.*'I still haven't done everything I want to do with you.'*I would love to find out what he wanted to do. Oh, my God. What was happening to me? Once again, I wa
KATEWe walked until we found a corridor where the music almost ceased. Why the hell was I being dragged along by a stranger? I didn't want to be rude, but the situation demanded it."Wait..." I made him stop."What?""Where are you taking me?"He smiled."Don't worry.""Seriously, Mr. Miles? I'm being dragged along by a stranger." I forced a smile. "And I shouldn't worry?""Don't worry. We're almost there.""You want me not to worry about you being a stranger or about you taking me to a strange place?""I'm not a stranger; I'm your friend's brother."Fine, he's Emily's brother, so it can't be that bad. I nodded and continued to follow him. Strangely, there was something familiar about him. We walked down the corridor until we entered a huge and elegant room. The place was furnished, with two large sofas in the center, bookshelves, paintings on the walls, vases, and a piano next to one wall."What would you like to drink, Katherine?""I'll let you choose this time.""Have a seat. Do
KATE"Kate?" Emy called me.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before turning to them with a smile. He looked impeccable, as always. I could see the surprise in his expression, even if only for a split second."I'm sorry. I was distracted.""This is our cousin Nathan. Nathan, this is Kate. A friend."Heaven! If she only knew."Mr. Ryan." I offered a nod."Miss Collins.""Wait, you already know each other?" Bryan asked, perplexed. Emily had the same expression."Your cousin is my boss." I forced a smile."You work for Nathan?" Bryan seemed incredulous.Even I was, with this damn coincidence."Miss Collins is my new assistant. Started this week."We exchanged looks the whole time."Emily!" Britney shouted, coming down the hallway. "Your Aunt Loren wants to talk to you.""Let's go, Bryan!""I'm coming." He turned his attention back to me. "I'll be back in a little while. Nathan can keep you company for now."I forced another smile. This was the worst idea I've heard in a long time.
KATEAfter returning from lunch, I set up the meeting room on the twenty-eighth floor. When I finished, I went upstairs and knocked on his door."Is there a problem?" I opened the door slightly. He looked at me with noticeable annoyance. God! What was his problem?"The meeting room is ready.""Let me know when they arrive.""Yes, sir."As soon as I returned to my desk, the phone rang."Yes?""Kate, there's a woman downstairs. She insists on speaking to Mr. Ryan.""Courtney, we don't have any scheduled appointments. And we have a meeting shortly.""Yes. I understand. But she said she's a friend.""Courtney…" I was about to ask her to send the woman away, but it could be important. I didn't want to irritate him even more. "Wait a minute." I called him."Have they arrived, Collins?""No.""Then what's the problem?" He sighed heavily."There's a woman downstairs. She said she is your friend and insists on speaking to you.""You know I have a meeting shortly. I'm not receiving anyone.""Y
KATEThe night was terrible. I could barely sleep. I spent the whole night thinking about him and torturing myself, imagining he was with that blonde. There was also the damn weekend trip. He still hadn't arrived. His schedule for the day showed nothing important, just a lunch appointment with some Japanese executives. That meant he would have plenty of time to annoy me.How will I be able to keep working here? It was so hard to hold back from saying everything he needed to hear. But it was even harder to restrain myself from jumping on him. How was it possible that just looking at him got me excited? I think I was going crazy. I missed him at night. And the fact that he had been in my bed didn't help either. I keep replaying that scene. Tied up, blindfolded, and fucked by him. I wish I could do the same to him and get back at him, even though it was my fault for letting it happen."Miss Collins?" I blinked; he was standing right in front of my desk with an arched eyebrow. "Here, we
