The bright light in the lounge woke me up earlier than I was used to. I rolled on the couch for about fifteen minutes, trying to find a position where the piercing rays wouldn't disturb me but failed. Giving up, I rose to a sitting position and rubbed my eyes.
The first thing that came to my mind after gathering my senses was the kiss. A part of me was still suspicious if it really happened or not. Maybe it was a figment of my imagination. But then again, that wouldn't explain how fast my heart was pounding right now. It had happened, no matter how much I denied it.
I stretched my arms and found my mother entering through the glass door that connected the lounge to the lawn outside. She was in her workout clothes and had a yoga mat in her hands.
"Good morning, sweetie. Come, I'll make breakfast for you," she said when she found me awake. "And wake up Alice."
"Okay, Mom." I yawned. It was nice to have someone cook for you once in a while. Kylie and Isaiah
We spent the whole day exploring the city with Norman and Jean. They both were quite cool and funny, and kept me entertained with stories of Alice's teenage years. Apparently, my uptight boss used to be a rebel in high school and loved to break rules.We went to a theme park first and then to a museum and now finally, we were in a restaurant slash bar to have dinner and drinks. This place had seating on a rooftop of a tall building from where you could see half the city."Let's order a pizza, some fries and vodka," Norman suggested and called the waiter to dictate her our order."I have a phone call to make." Alice excused herself and went to the side. From the look of it, she was scolding someone; her nostrils were flaring and there was a huge frown etched on her forehead.I forced my eyes back to the table and found both Norman and Jean staring at me. "What?""You like her, man?" Norman asked."Um..." I gulped. "Yeah, what's not to like? S
The first thing I noticed when my brain started to wake up was something heavy crushing me. I tried to move but the "thing" kept me in place and suffocated. Gasping for breath, I opened my eyes and when my eyes fell on the "thing" crushing me, my jaw hung low in surprise.It was Stav, shirtless, with his head cradled between my breasts and a bit of drool on the corner of his mouth. But that wasn't the thing that worried me the most; it was the fact that I was just in my bra and I was pretty sure there was just underwear separating me from his crotch down there.One by one, memories of last night came rushing back. Our conversation here on this very couch, me asking him to kiss me and all the things that followed that. Goosebumps appeared on my skin as I remembered his lips on my body, kissing every inch of my skin like his life depended on it.Shit.I pushed Stav with all my power and slid from beneath him while he once again snuggled into the couch witho
It was 8 in the evening and I was driving my car, with Sunshine in the passenger seat. We had a lot to talk about and the office building wasn't exactly the right place for that discussion so I invited her over for dinner.I still couldn't believe Alice didn't remember anything about that night. It was so real, so unforgettable; but apparently, not for her. What did I think? She would wake up and blush and pick up where we had left the night before."What are you thinking?" Sunshine asked, breaking my chain of thoughts."Nothing much," I said, passing her a smile.Once we reached my apartment, I unlocked the door with the spare keys and led her inside. "Don't mind these two weird creatures who just cuddle all day and eat snacks." I motioned towards Isaiah and Kylie busy watching another one of their chick flicks."Hello to you too, my dear friend," Isaiah said."Don't mind us, we will be in my bedroom," I said and led Sunshine through the lo
About fifteen minutes after witnessing the chaos in the coffee room, I was sitting at my desk, with an employee of mine named Ralp David sitting in front of me. His face was smeared with some blood and a whole lot of guilt.Outside my office, Stav was waiting for his turn while his girlfriend, Sunshine, nursed his injuries.As far as my mood was concerned, I was enraged. Never in the past four years had I witnessed a physical fight in my office. It was out of line and needed to be addressed properly otherwise it wouldn't be good for my reputation.With that thought in mind, I shut the file in my hand and focused all my attention on the bearded man sitting in front of me. "Care to explain?""We were talking casually and he started punching me out of nowhere, Miss Montelebalo," he responded."Stop lying, Mr. David. It won't get you anywhere. Why did my assistant punch you?" I asked, using my deadliest glare."I. . .""Don't bother lying
After procrastinating for not one, not two, but whole three hours after waking up, I finally left my mobile and hopped out of my bed. After brushing my teeth, I made my way out of my room to the lounge where Isaiah was busy doing some work."It's 4pm. Did you just wake up?" he asked. "Don't you have any work to do?""You're forgetting, I'm suspended for a week," I said and yawned loudly, stretching my limbs."What's this smell?" Isaiah contorted his nose and tried to identify the source of whatever smell that disturbed him. At the end, his eyes landed on me. "When did you shower last?""The day I went to office, maybe?" Shrugging, I picked up the bowl of dry fruits from in front of him and put a handful in my mouth."That was four days ago," he said in a disgusted voice."So? What's your point?" I asked."My point is that you stink. Go take a shower and do something productive. Maybe that's why Sunshine hasn't visited you for the last
Stav and I, we both were sitting across each other in one of the nicest restaurants of the city, waiting for Antonio Guerrero to arrive. It was Stav's first day back to office after his suspension and on his first day, I received the news that we were being sued for fraud by a local company we had a contract with. Right now, we were waiting to meet a lawyer that Patty had suggested to deal with this issue."Why couldn't we meet him in the office?" Stav asked impatiently."Because apparently, he is a very successful lawyer. We have to impress him if we want him to take our case. That explains the dinner," I said.He leaned back in his seat and ran his fingers through his messy hair. His stubble had grown a bit, giving him a more rugged look. The suit that he was wearing hugged him perfectly, bringing attention to his muscular arms and wide shoulders."Why? Is Sunshine waiting for you at home?" I asked and although I didn't intend to, my voice came out a li
I was trapped between my soft bed and a heavy chest, while a certain pair of lips were busy elevating me to bliss. It was dark in the room and I couldn't figure out what was happening or how we reached there, but even without the light, I knew to whom this scent belonged to.The soft lips formed a trail from my neck to my cleavage, making sure to leave a burning wherever they went. The knot in my stomach tightened until I was panting with need and desire. The throbbing in my nether regions was making my thoughts jumble."Fuck," I groaned when Stav's lips nibbled on my breast."Patience, boss." His deep voice reverberated through my body and sent a delicious shiver down my spine while his calloused hands teased the inside of my thighs and each little touch edged me closer to exploding."Oh," I stifled my moan as I tried to grind my pelvis against him to relieve the aching."Not so fast." He stilled me by placing his leg in between mine while his ton
Butterflies. Some really angry butterflies.That was the only way to describe the situation in my stomach right now.I was doing everything in my power to not rip apart her clothes and take her right there. But Alice wasn't making it any easier with her hands skimming over my back and the urgency in her kiss. Our mouths were literally sucking the soul out of each other, because nothing else would describe the hunger and desire with which we were kissing each other.I knew my reasons. As much as I hated to admit it, I had wanted her for quite some time and now that she was trapped between my chest and the cold mirror, I couldn't control myself. But why was Alice, of all people, discovering my mouth so eagerly and tightening her legs around my torso?My curiosity could wait but my hunger couldn't.Leaving her mouth, I traced a path down to her neck and she sucked a sharp breath. She smelled like a tempting seductress and she certainly moaned like one
