Enora:“Lie on your back, kitten.”He gently rolled me on my back. I couldn’t see him but his voice was dripping with seduction and a carnal hunger that made me crave him all over again.“Are you catching a breather?” he asked, kissing my stomach, making me flinch and groan with how sensitive my skin was.“Yes,” I said breathlessly, my breathing hitching again as he nibbled at my waistline.“You should see how soaked you are. You're glistening and the bed is a mess. You look ravishing, kitten.”His tongue found my nipples and I arched closer to meet him as his lips wrapped around them. The fact that I couldn’t see him made everything even more sensual. His voice, his touch; my other senses had never felt so alive.“Are you ready kitten?”“Yes,” I nodded, unsure of what plan he had for me. This was exhilarating. I had never felt this way before.“I was thinking I was going to use the lube but you’ve made everything so wet already.–”His fingers made small circles on my clit and I gaspe
Nathan: She sat up and glared at me and I sat up in alarm too. “So, you mean to tell me that despite all that we have gone through, it… it all means nothing. It means nothing to you?” she asked in horror, her eyes were wide with disbelief. I continued to stare at her, looking for a way to soften the expression, a way to make it better. “It did mean something to me.” I reached out my hand and she slapped it away. A fiery sting shot through my palm and I rubbed it painfully, looking at her. “Enora, you just have to understand…” “Understand what?!–” She grabbed a pillow and hurled it at me but I caught it and placed it down beside me. “–I understand everything. You can fuck me. We have been through so much together but at the end of the day, it was just a fluke to you. It meant nothing to you.” A tear ran down her face and my stomach churned. “You know what? It’s fine. It’s alright,” she said, getting off the bed, and gathering her dress and things from the floor and the dressin
Enora:As I locked the door, I could feel all my bottled-up emotions threatening to explode out of my chest.No. I had to stay cool. I had to keep myself under control. He didn’t deserve my tears. He wasn’t worth it.I walked over to the mirror and looked at my face. I was a mess. My eyes looked like they were carrying droopy sacks of apples and the whites of my eyes…well they weren’t white anymore.I took myself to the bathroom and washed my face with some cold water, careful not to spill any on my dress.My reflection stared back at my dripping-wet face. I… I looked slightly better, I think, and grabbed one of the hand towels.I drew a deep breath and smoothed my skirt. A paper crinkled in my pocket and my heart skipped a beat.I had written it to him last night. I had made up my mind that I was going to give it to him when we landed. I wasn’t going to back on this decision, I hoped.My purse called to me from the dressing table and left the room with it. I wasn’t surprised to see M
Enora:We wheeled our luggage to the arrival terminal. I never thought that I would hate a luxury flight so much. Mr. Wright was right in front of me. I knew he was angry because he was walking twice as fast as he would normally walk. I guess the need to get away from each other was mutual now.“Dad!!!!”I heard a high and shrill voice and soon the sound of running footsteps. I might have been leagues behind Mr. Wright but I saw him jerk a little and some arms wrapped around his back. I peered through the sea of heads and soon the face revealed itself.“Enny?”“Bridget?”She shrieked as she ran towards me, slamming into me with a hug that nearly made me lose my footing. Her arms wrapped around me so tightly that I thought my lungs were going to get squeezed out of my mouth and nostrils.“Bridg… can’t… breathe…”She let go of me and air rushed back into my lungs, making me feel heady. She had gotten a lot stronger while I was away. She looked stronger too. Someone had been hitting the
Enora: Bridget and her dad were already waiting for me by the time I got down for dinner. My face was a bright pink as I took my seat at the table. “I hope I didn’t keep everyone waiting. I got a little confused in the shower. There are so many dials.” Bridget and her father smiled at me and I shrunk into my seat. I was still a newbie to this wealthy life thing but for something as simple as a shower, why did they need so many dials? It looked…unnecessary. The table was set and filled with exotic meals. Every breath was heavenly. Bridget really outdid herself. “I asked the cook for some famous Italian dishes for you and then she made a few of my dad’s favorites. I can’t imagine how much he must miss a home-cooked meal after eating restaurant food for almost four weeks.” We both laughed and Mr. Wright gave a silent chuckle. I stole a glance at him and felt my heart do a flip. He looked…miserable but hid it behind his fake chuckle and his glances on his phone. He looked even
Nathan:“Fuck! My head!”I sat up and looked around. The lights were off, and the evening breeze tickled my toes. Everything was fuzzy for a moment, but soon, the images began to sharpen. The light from the window illuminated the room faintly, and I could see my shoes neatly arranged on the edge of the bed.Where was I? I was certain that this wasn’t my room. How did I even get here?Fuck! I stank!Slowly, it all began to become clearer. I had told Bridget that I was going to get some work done at the office but in truth, I went to a bar. I couldn’t stop thinking about her.After what she said when I came to talk to her in her room, I felt her words hit me deeply. They… moved something inside. I just couldn’t control it and decided to go down the path of whiskey.I groaned as I got out of the bed. I had been down that route before when Bridget’s mother died. I didn’t want to go down there again.The light flicked on and for a second, my irises were bleached and I could see nothing. I
Enora:My face filled with blood and it hurt trying to keep up this faux smile. Why the hell was he looking at me like that? Why was he being creepy?I tried to pull my hand away politely but his grip was strong. It was hard not to crinkle my nose or cough. His cologne smelt so strong and not in the most alluring way, and his veneers… not to be rude but why were they so white? They could reflect light. He should be in a toothpaste commercial.“Anthony, I will need you to run some numbers for me,” Mr. Wright interjected, finally causing Anthony to let go of my hands and turn his attention elsewhere. Urghhh… Why the hell were my palms wet? I wiped them subtly on my skirt and listened to the conversation, It was my first day here and despite everything that had happened last night, I was hell-bent on not letting today be another downhill spiral.“...She will be acting Secretary for the moment. She is on a probationary period. If she performs well, she will be given the job permanently, a
Enora:“Anthony?!”He flashed another smile from me and I involuntarily squinted. Fuck! Why did he have to be here? No, no, no, no.He slipped into the empty seat in front of me and I felt all alarms go off in my head. Why was he even here? Did he follow me because I was very sure that he wasn’t in the restaurant when I first walked in?I smiled warmly at him, praying that this was just a brief greeting and that he was going to leave me alone to eat in peace.“I never knew that you also knew this place,” he said casually, looking around, seemingly lost in its small wonder.“Yeah. My parents used to bring me here when I was little,” I answered, twisting my fingers nervously, praying that he was going to leave any second from now.“That’s sweet. I am sure that they are so proud that you scored such a well-paying job. The hiring process here is very tedious. It took me months of applying before I got my job.”My faux smile faded and I distracted myself with my glass of water. An uncomfor
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
Enora:He slammed the door behind him and I was left alone to pick up my stuff from the floor.What pushed him to come search my office? I knew that I lied about the letter but I did not give him any right to come and sniffing through my stuff looking for it. Besides, it was long gone by now. I threw it out of the window on my way back from work. I didn't want to have any memory of the lunch that I had with Mr Kane and Eliot. It was a nightmare that I wished would never happen to me again.I wiped my face with the back of my hands, and after a few minutes, my drawer was back in order.My chicken from the restaurant sat on my desk, the aroma filling the air and cheering me up slightly.I never thought that good food would be such a saviour in a time like this.I sat at my desk, opened my laptop and quietly ate my chicken as I looked through emails. In the short time that I was gone, I received a lot and it was likely that I was going to stay back late again today to get it all done.As
Nathan:I sat down in my office, filling out paperwork that I had to submit to the board of directors in a few days, alongside the presentation that Enora was supposed to give.The lunch break was almost over and I had refused to order anything. Ever since the argument between Enora and me in her office, my appetite had eluded me, and all I could do to keep my mind from thinking about her was to bury myself in work.I picked up my phone; every fibre of my body was urging me to call her,, but it was still just like every other time: I picked it up, stared at the screen and then put it down and continued doing what I was doing.If she wanted to talk to me, she knew where my office was but something told me that she wasn't going to make the first move.I saw how angry she was, how mad she was about me coming over to her place unannounced, how she made a fuss over Bridget. I knew she cared about her, but couldn't she see that she was putting herself in danger?Bridget's boyfriend couldn't
Enora:Why could the ground just open up and swallow me? Why did I have to put up with stuff like this? All I wanted was a normal workday and a normal lunch without the hassle and the fear that something was going to go wrong every minute.“I just need a few minutes; I really choked hard and I need some time to recover.”Bridget left and I could finally. Lunch today was a bad idea and there was no way I wad going to be able to sneak out of this place.I guess I was going to have to just pull through this. With a deep breath, I puffed out my chest and walked out of the bathroom. As I walked close to the table my heart beat faste ran faster. Mr. Kane turned to look at me and a smirk stretched his lips. I had to think of something fast. I was determined to not spend an extra minute here.“Hey, I’m really sorry for the wait. I choked but I’m fine.”“Well, that is good to hear,” Mr. Kane purred, “I thought that you were asthmatic and I asked Bridget to give you my spare inhaler. It used to
Enora:I finished up work for the afternoon and I packed up my stuff. My phone was in my hand and I searched the map for the restaurant that I had been sent by Anthony.It was somewhere in town. But it didn't show up on the map."Does this place even exist?" I grumbled, grabbing my handbag and walking to the door. "Maybe a taxi would... Ouch!"I rubbed my forehead and looked up angrily to see Mr. Wright standing right in front of me, blocking the door with his tall and muscular frame."How did you get in here? How come I didn't hear you?""Maybe you should keep your nose out of your phone a little and you might be able to know what goes on around you."I scoffed. Was that supposed to make me angry?"Thank you for the information. I'll be sure to keep it in mind next time."I tried to go around him but he stopped me with an outstretched hand and a vicious glance."I have somewhere I need to be, Mr. Wright. It's my break.""I am well aware, he growled, glaring at me and exhaling deeply,
