Alessandro's POV

“Good afternoon, Mr Da Silva,” One of the shareholders in my company, Jeffrey Coleman uttered as my MacBook screen gradually displayed the faces of the other shareholders.

Today was saturday which meant that I was currently at home with the intention of spending blissful time with my family. However, that was not to be as an emergency suddenly came up and I had to quickly schedule a zoom meeting.

“Good afternoon, Mr Coleman,” I said. “The stocks have now been stabilized, so there's no cause for alarm. I know you all were probably worried for your stocks but I'm here to reassure you that nothing is going to happen to them.”

    Catherine's POVEyes glimmering with barely-concealed lust, Alessandro pulled me up from the floor, cupped my face with his big hands then captured my lips in a torrid, lust-crazed kiss.Moaning into the kiss, I reached downward to cup his still hard cock and jacked him off. I giggled into his warm mouth as he cupped and kneaded my ass like bread dough.“Fuck, you are driving me crazy, my love,” Alessandro gritted out, grabbing me by my ass to lift me up onto the desk.Pulling away from the kiss, his hands came to hook around my waist, as his lips touched my cheeks and he carelessly tossed all the documents on the desk away, to make space for our shenanigans.“I love you,” He said. “You are perfect, baby. And so fucking unreal.”“I know, so just fuck me please,” I replied, without an iota of shame, causing Alessandro to chuckle before pressing a kiss to the crook of my neck, then my shoulder, then clavicle as he rolled my sundress upward, seemingly to gain access into my dripping puss
