Enora:My blood ran cold and I froze. My eyes were staring into empty space. I looked like I had been punched in the gut. That bastard! What did he tell her?“Bridget, I can explain. Don’t believe a word he says.”“Yeah, you better have a good explanantion for leaving me out of the planning for your housewarmi g party this weekend.”My jaw dropped and my heart took a deep plummet.“What?”“Yeah,” she said, breaking out into a fit of laughter like she had pulled the greatest prank in existence. “Eliot told me that he came over for his wallet and that he saw you making plans for your housewarming party. That’s so unfair! I told you that I wanted to plan it!”I felt air rush into my lungs and felt my blood rush to my face. That was what she was talking about.“Oh! He… He told you that?”“Yes! I am very disappointed in you. Thank god Eliot told me in time so that I could stop you from making the biggest mistake of your life and subjecting all of us to the most boring housewarming party e
EnoraMy fingers fumbled at my desk as I grabbed my laptop and my copy of the agreement to be discussed.My ears were pricked, my head kept moving at the slightest sound that came from the door.As soon as I got to my office, I checked my phone. Twelve missed calls from Anthony. I expected him to come storming through my door any second, demanding why I didn't pick up calls or come for lunch.God! My mind felt like a factory, thoughts flying in and out like it was a damn delivery service.Mr. Wright wanted to find out about Eliot, Anthony was certainly mad at me and in the midst of all this, Bridget was planning a freaking housewarming party.My gut clenched and my heart skipped several beats.I had a meeting to get to, and here I was, shivering like a leaf."Breath, Enora. Breath. One thing at a time. Meeting first, then you can deal with Mr. Wright later."It was little comfort but it was something.I hugged my laptop to my chest and hurried to the conference room. My breath caught
Nathan:I looked blankly at Mr. Kane, who smiled knowingly.I drew a deep breath and exhaled through my mouth. I couldn't lie–I was impressed that he did his research.My company has been at the forefront of success and profit for years, and it masked our weakness in technological advancements.It has been that way for years and I was certain that we could build our strength in the shadows of our millions and front cover success."You did some deep digging, Mr. Kane," I said casually, returning his smile and burning a glare into him. "But I assure you, my company isn't that weak. We might not be at the front in that aspect but I believe that we will steadily climb."Mr. Kane chuckled and gestured his head to the side. One of his associates opened a briefcase and I watched suspiciously as he handed the document to Mr. Kane, who handed it to me."I believe that it isn't too early to move a company forward. Why wait when there is is clear, faster route?"I glossed over the paper and my c
Enora:He left, and I was left alone in the conference room. Finally, I could take a breath of fresh air. Those eyes lingering on me made me break into a sweat in the air-conditioned room.My breath caught in my throat as an image of Mr. Kane’s green eyes and piercing stare flashed through my mind.I could see the way Mr. Wright looked at him with disdain, the way both of them fought for control and dominance in the room as they negotiated.I had watched Mr. Wright negotiate many business deals, but they were nothing like what I had just witnessed. It was like watching Mr. Wright haggle with himself—a younger, green-eyed version of himself. My fingers ran across the keyboard as I put the finishing touches to the minute that I would print and send out to the Legal department alongside the new contract that Mr. Kane and his team had provided.Today was the most stressful day of my entire life. Thank god the workday was almost over. I could go home and…A shiver ran down my spine and my
Enora:My fingers trembled and my breathing caught in my throat. I looked back at Mr. Wright and he was glaring hard at me. My stimach wanted to fip itself inside out.Nothing happened between Mr. Kane and I. I could swear on it.“You–”He snatched the card from my fingers and in a few swift movements, it was in shreds on the floor. My heart rate elevated and my vision blurred as oxygen failed to reach my brain.“–are going to go home with me. I will drive you back to your condo. We really need to talk.”I couldn’t say anything and simply watched him walk away. My laptop was pressed even tighter to my chest and my ribs suffered under the pressure. All I wanted was a normal day at work. Was that really too hard to ask?I hurried to my office, my lips parted as I struggled to take a breath and think straight.The look in Mr. Wright’s eyes were terrifying but I was certain that I didn’t do anything with Mr. Kane. I mean… I didn’t even take his complimentary card. That must count for…“Ou
NathanI waited in the car, my phone beeping as I called her number. Why wasn’t she answering? I expected her to meet me here.As I called her line for the third time, I could feel my patience running thin. What was taking her so long?A few more seconds passed by and I could take it no more. I opened the door and got out. As I reached the office door, it flung open, missing my nose by a few inches.She dashed past me and I grabbed her hand, pulling her back as she yelped in surprise.“What took you so long?” I growled, pulling her close to my body and looking into her deep blue eyes.“I-I had something extra to take care of. I’m really sorry. I also went to your office and didn’t see you there?”I scoffed. Why did I feel she was hiding something?“Why didn’t you answer your phone? I’ve called you three times already.”“It was on silent. I was trying to focus on something.”Her lips trembled and her eyes looked shifty. There was something that she wasn’t telling me. Regardless, I gest
Enora:I felt my gut wrench violently and a salty taste filled my mouth. Mr. Kane was Eliot’s dad?!Urghh! Saying it out loud made it even worse and the salty taste increased. At this rate, I was going to throw up. That and all the tension in the room was unsettling.Mr. Wright stood there glaring at Eliot who stared back, unfazed, as Bridegt clung to his arm, sweating and struggling to keep her breathing under control.This had to be more weird for her than it was for me.“Nice to meet you, Mr. Wright,” Eliot said firmly, walking up to Mr. Wright with his hand outstretched for a handshake.I stood next to Mr. Wright watching Bridget jitter and gasp. She looked terribly pale and her eyes turned to me with a plead in them. What did she want me to do?Eliot’s hand hung there for a while, under Mr. Wright’s glare. His eyes darted from Bridget to Eliot and back to Bridget with disapproval building every second.His lips were turned down slightly and his eyes had darkened. It was no secret
Enora:Dinner was awkward. The table was silent except for the clatter of cutlery on the china.Bridget was feeling the heat as she sat between her father and Eliot, who couldn’t help but cast each other death glares.I sat alone, forcing myself to eat, even though my gut was still clenching from the knowledge of who Eliot and Mr. Kane were to each other as well as the fact that Mr. Wright wanted to kiss me and Bridget nearly caught us.“So, Bridget,” Mr. Wright started, breaking the silence and sending shudders down Bridget’s spine. “When did you and Eliot meet? How long have you both been dating?”Bridget looked at me and I blinked twice. I was clueless about how she was going to answer this one. I hoped she wasn’t going to tell him about the drunk party thing.Fuck! I couldn’t bear any more.“Uhmm… Well,” Bridget began, slowly putting her cutlery down and taking a deep breath, “we met in my second year. Cornell University and University of Washington had a meet and we met, exchange
Enora:I rolled to the side and stopped. Why did the bed…“It’s morning! I missed my alarm!”I jumped out of bed and tripped over the bedding, crashing to the floor. Yeah, this was the perfect way to start the morning.I grabbed my sweater that was lying on the floor. Where the hell were my trousers? Urghh!My eyes caught my panties instead and I pulled them on. They would have to do. I was almost late and I still hadn’t had breakfast. How dare Mr. Wright not wake me? He pulled himself out of bed but didn’t even care to drag me up to?As I stormed downstairs in my sweater and panties, I looked around angrily for him. He had better not have dashed off! After last night! Fuck! I felt so used! He used…“Looking for something. kitten?” a deep voice said behind me and I spun around. He stood at the doorway to the kitchen in nother but a pair of grey sweat panst that showed his…“Ermm…”A knot formed in my throat and I tore my gaze away from the big temptation that lived in his grey sweats
Enora:My body trembled. I tried to take a breath but my lungs felt weak. My entire body was wrecked but I could still feel my urge burning inside of me. I was shattered in the best way possible and I didn’t want him to stop. I wanted more.His lips kissed my shoulders and a shiver ran down my spine. It felt so good. A moan escaped my lips and I felt my arms collapse under me again.“Beautiful,” he whispered, his hands sliding around my waist and pulling my knees up under me. A deep sigh escaped his lips, warming my skin as he planted a soft wet kiss on my butt.“You look beautiful this way, Kitten.–”He leaned close to my ear and kissed my lobe.“–Are you ready to take me?”I wished I could say something but the words came out as a mumble that he nummed in pleasure at hearing.His fingers glided to my folds and he grunted in approval as he tested my wetness.“Barely strong enough but you are soaking already for me. Lovely.”He slammed into me and I screamed again as he filled me up,
Enora:My juices warmed my fingers and a deep moan escpaed my lips. I felt my legs squeeze tight around my hand but I also willed them apart to allow my fingers explore deeper while he watched.I couldn’t see him but I could hear him breathing: deeply, lustfully, through his teeth as he watched me test my soaked body.A chill shivered my spine. This was pleasureable– scandalous– knowing that he was watching me do this to myself and that he was loving every second of it.“Good girl,” he purred deeply. “Keep going.”I felt a smile crack my lips.“You like watching me?” I asked breathlessly, sliding my two fingers in deeper and drawing a sharp gasp.“You are such a tease, Kitten… Come here.”I slid my fingers out of my warm body and walked towards him, my knees trembling and my heart beat racing a little faster with each step I took towards him.My skin was sensitive all over as I anticipated his touch. Fuck! The stakes felt so high. Everything changed so fast when one couldn’t see.I d
Enora:He turned to me, his jaw clenched and his eye full of questions. The text message stared back at me from my phone.How many times was I going to block his number?I was just about to delete it from my phone when he snatched it from me."Hey!"But he ignored me and scrolled furiously.His eyes darted back and forth on the screen and I watched him."You have his number, Enora...""I don't."“Then how...""I don't know," I cut in. "He's been calling me and sending me texts but I keep blocking him and deleting his number."His jaw tightened and he glared at me. I stared back, lost in his angry brown eyes that flashed a deep crimson."I'm not lying," I whimpered. "You can check it for..."He grabbed my face and kissed me full on the lips, claiming me, searching my mouth and relishing my taste.I could feel my body humming as it fell in tune with his, my knees weakening and my breath being sucked out of me."You... are... Mine," he growled, pulling away from me and glaring at me with
Nathan:Her eyes shone as she peeked out of the window with so much glee and delight. I couldn’t help but smirk at myself. For a lady who said that she didn’t want jewellery, she seemed very eager. Either way, I was going to return this trash that Kane gave her and get her something that was actually worth her. No way was I going to allow Kane to sneak in and take her.“Are we going to go out or are you just content with looking out of the window and looking star-struck?”He looked at me, her face red with embarrassment as she shrunk slightly.“Sorry. I was just…”The door opened on my end and I asked her to stay put while I got out, came to her side and opened it for her.“Miss Lopez.”She looked taken aback by my outstretched hand but took it nonethe less. She stepped out into the evening and clutched her coat tighter. It was very cold, colder than I expected. A cold draft blasted my face and I frowned. I shpuld have considered bringing a coat along instead of settling for a turtle
Enora:“I sent her home for the day. I actually thought that it was going to be possible to come and see you.”He raised his eyebrows at me and I shrunk back. I was really worried. I also didn’t want her to get hurt in case something actually did happen.“So, might I ask what spurred all this anxiety from you?” he asked, putting one hand in his pocket as he took me in.I led him to the living room and on the table was the box: unopened and still very much intact and the letter next to it.His eyes darted across the paper and once he was done, he put it aside, grabbed the box and tore open the wrapping paper.A small jewellery box was under it. My heart was racing and my breath caught in my throat as the box was opened.“Oh my God!”Mr. Wright glared at me angrily. I tried my best not to be surprised but I have never seen a necklace like that. It was encrusted with diamonds that sparkled in the light.“Pathetic. His grand ploy to get your attention was to buy you jewellery?”He shut th
Enora: I was in my officxe packing my stuff packing my stuff for the dasy. My head still throbbed and I was tsill try to get over the fact that we had been called by ther board. The office was quiet and Gina sn Emily were mess. They already made plan to use their paid time off and stay awya froim work tomorrow and we all agredd that it was for the best. I took a depe breath. Everything was set/ All I wanted to do was get home and pretend that all this never happened. I wasn’t resady for any inquires or… There was a knock at the door and it oponed slowly. Mr. Wright came in and I felt my heart skip a beat and I glared at him. “Are you here to gloat or to ask me questions about what happened?” He was silent for a while and I continued packing my stuff, not ready to give him a second of my time. I have been through more than enough for today. In fact, I had been through enough for a lifetime and all I wanted to do was flop on the bed and wish that I could turn back the hands of time
Nathan:They all left and I was left alone with the board.“Why didn't you tell us that your daughter was dating Mr Kane's son?” One of the directors asked accusingly. Do you know how much of an advantage this could have been for us?I glared at the director, and he shrunk immediately, but he still had a sour expression on his face.“You are the CEO of this company, Mr Right. I expect you to not be so short-sighted. This was an opportunity. Your daughter was the perfect person on the inside to get information about Mr Rights, but you chose to keep this from us, and now come up, we're only just finding out.”I shook my head slowly and tried my best to keep my anger under control. These men were old fools, and the only thing they cared about was fattening their pockets. Then knew nothing about how a company should be run, and I wasn't sure if I could blame them or not.“What you are insinuating, is sending my daughter as a spy to KKC just because she is dating the CEO’s son?”There was
Enora:I felt my knees buckle as soon as they walked in and I knew I wasn't the only one. Emily was shivering to her bones and the only thing that Gina could do was stand there and stare at them like she was a deer.We were all asked to sit. The CEO and the directors were all in the room, watching us with eagle eyes.My heart did a flip in my chest. He knew and there was no point in lying about it anymore.The oldest man who looked around sixty five stood up and addressed the room.“I am sure that you all know that our business proposal with KKC has been terminated. We no longer are doing business with them of any kind.”There was a large mumble around the room and after a few seconds, the room was back to being quiet and calm. Poor Gina was as white as a ghost, but she still kept a straight face.“It has reached our attention that all of you were reported to be seen having lunch with Mr Cain at his privately owned restaurants and we have every reason to believe that during that time
