“WHY??? Why am I so affected by him? It's just a shower, just a deal. But it’s... it's intoxicating," Kourtney pondered, her breath catching in her throat as heat coursed through her veins. But then she needed to stick to the plan and not get carried away by the man’s drop-dead gorgeous body and charms.Sebastian was a master of seduction, a man who knew how to play her like a finely tuned instrument, but she wasn't going to let herself fall under his spell this time.She knew she couldn't let him have her so easily tonight. Despite the overwhelming desire that pulsed through her veins, she needed to stay focused. FOCUS!Meanwhile, Sebastian licked his lips slowly as he let his sly gaze roam over her naked body, taking in every curve and contour with a hunger that bordered on obsession.The sight of her body before him, all wet, vulnerable, and alluring, sent a rush of blood straight to his member, causing it to twitch and throb with an urgency that demanded attention. **"Sh
After shuddering for a fleeting moment, Kourtney met Sebastian's intense gaze, her eyes searching his for understanding. “Nnnn… Uhmm… Actually, I have a condition of my own. And you must agree to it before we go any further!”Sebastian's expression darkened even more before he chuckled, a low sound that sent shivers down her spine. He couldn't believe her audacity.“What makes you think you have the right to condition me, Woman?”“Well… you did condition me into this in the first place. So, I am just giving you a taste of your own medicine. And if I remember correctly, your condition only stated for us to have a shower together… naked. Touching me wasn't part of the deal. Was it?” Kourtney said, putting on a brave face.She wasn’t about to let Sebastian’s frightening eyes and demeanor scare her off from her already perfectly-crafted scheme.They say a man is at his weakest when he is aroused beyond control. Sebastian was no exception, and she was determined to use that to her advantag
He started to pump his cock hard and fast in her wet folds.“Oh, God!” he groaned, feeling the lubricious, amazing, warm tightness surrounding HIM.It surrounded not just the length and breadth of his cock, but all of Sebastian, as though his entire physical and mental being was fully enveloped within the incredible, sweet sheath of Kourtney.His movements became even fiercer, more erratic, and unrelenting, driving her to the brink of madness with each powerful thrust. Kourtney clung to him, her nails digging into his back as she gave herself over to the pleasure that consumed her.She heard him growl in her ear, and she knew that was him trying to keep control of himself- he didn't want the fun to end too soon, and neither did she.She looked at his face as he power-thrusted hard into her, his eyes nearly crossed as he bit his bottom lip with pleasure.The sensations are only getting hotter, setting off more fireworks in her head. “Ummhmmm, she moaned out loud, feeling the intense pl
Skyline Events.Kourtney dragged her sore and tired body to work, feeling the lingering effects of the intense and vigorous exercise Sebastian had put her through the previous night. They had gone from the bathroom to the dressing room mirror and then, to the bedroom, exploring different positions like two hungry lions lost in passion. She didn't get a wink of sleep all night.And even though every fiber of her being longed to stay in bed till God knows when, Kourtney knew she couldn't risk missing work, especially with the Silverstone Gala she was in charge of planning just two weeks away. As she tried to focus on her tasks, the news about Allen Corporation stocks and shares surging within minutes caught her attention. A wave of relief washed over her, knowing that the Man had indeed fulfilled his end of the deal.But at what cost?Despite the reassurance, Kourtney couldn't shake off the emotional turmoil brewing within her. Not even a single person from her family had reached ou
"You have some nerve. You're shameless!” Kourtney yelled.But Brandon didn't stop there.His next words only fueled Kourtney's fury. With heavy regrets etched in his voice, he revealed how Kathlyn had been the one to seduce him, painting himself as the saint caught in a web of deceit. He also blamed Kourtney for being too focused on her job, neglecting their relationship in the process which made him fall too easily for Kathlyn’s temptation. He claimed she was always too preoccupied with her career to give him the attention he craved.Kourtney chuckled. But her laughter was sharp and cold.Unbelievable!So now he was blaming her for his mistakes? Now, he was trying to gaslight her into believing he was also a victim.She could only conclude that he came here drunk. After all, his mouth mildly smelled of vodka. ‘That had to be the reasonable explanation for this charade,’ she thought."I…. I can't believe you," Kourtney seethed, her hands clenched at her sides. "Why are you telling me
Woods Corporation.The CEO’s office exuded an aura of power and luxury, with sleek modern furniture and expansive windows offering a breathtaking view of the Melbourne city skyline.Sebastian Woods sat leisurely in the mahogany desk, glancing through the daily business newspapers. He was lost in the world of numbers and reports, his mind focused on the latest financial news while his piercing gaze drifted lazily over the bold headlines, scanning the words with a sharp focus.He barely registered the presence of anyone else in his office until a familiar “annoying” voice broke through his concentration."Hey! HEY! I'm still here, remember?" The voice belonged to none other than Edwin Woods, Sebastian's cousin and most trusted confidant, a man he tasked with his most delicate affairs. Matter of fact, Edwin was the one who always helped him to do his most dirty business - the most recent one being taking down the Allen family Corporation.Among the entire Woods family, Edwin was probabl
Falling in love again had always been one of his biggest fears.He had always hated the feeling of being vulnerably in love with someone, and truthfully, he’d been so thankful for that jarring accident years ago - the one that tainted and somewhat “mutilated” him. The one that caused him a psychological disorder, rendering him unable to get too close to the opposite gender.The incident had left him scarred, both physically and emotionally, but had also gifted him a life of solitude and peace. A life devoid of love yet strangely fulfilling in its own way.YES!His life had been boring and uneventful back then, but it was PEACEFUL.He never had to worry about the thought of anyone’s betrayal. Never!He had avoided women like the plague, and that had always acted as a shield against the dangers of falling in love again.He had built walls around his heart, believing he was protecting himself from further pain.But now…. those walls lay shattered at his feet.Now, he had completely screw
Kourtney's eyes widened in surprise and confusion, her mind racing to make sense of his accusation. "Betray you? What are you talking about? I-I don’t get it..."Sebastian's gaze bore into hers. His hoarse voice was thick with restrained emotion.”Are you playing dumb with me, Woman?”“I… I really don’t understand,” Kourtney stammered with furrowed eyebrows and without any trace of guilt, unaware of the crime she had committed.Her heart was pounding like bass drums in her chest.Sebastian's jaw tensed, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly as confusion clouded his sturdy features.How could she not know?It was impossible for her not to have known or heard about the scandal by now since she was in the starring role of it all - so he believed.The thought that she was trying to play innocent and pretending not to know anything angered him even more, to extreme heights he never knew existed within him.His breaths came in jagged gasps now as he tried hard to control himself.He
Kourtney glanced around the room, eyeing the other women. They were all looking at her with suspicion as if she were a suspect in a crime she didn’t commit. Indeed, she was the target.“Oh wow! This has never happened in our history before.” “Who could be the thief?”“We've never encountered such cases at any of our gatherings in the past!”Kourtney sneered on hearing their annoying remarks.It was painfully obvious they were trying to make it look like the thief was someone new in their circle. It all seemed like a slow-motion scene from a bad movie that made her bored, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes in disgust.Did they really think they could frame her like this?She didn’t need a prophet to know she had been set up. The irritation bubbled within her. These women were more petty than she had ever imagined.“That's true! Why don’t we start by checking the purse of our beloved new young mistress?”Before Kourtney could say, Jack, Sheila had moved swiftly, snatching her purs
The next day came quicker than expected for Kourtney. It was Saturday afternoon, and the Woods ladies always hosted a tea party. It was like a compulsory family-friendly tradition, they said.“Who still holds tea parties in the 21st century?” she muttered to herself, shaking her head in disbelief.The Woods family, apparently.Over here, everything felt ceremonious with a touch of rigid formality.Just the thought of it made her want to laugh and cry, at the same time.The ladies were dressed in elegant gowns, their hats adorned with flowers while holding dainty china teacups and sitting beneath a grand oak tree at the center of the Woods estate garden. Kourtney felt like she had stepped into a time capsule that took her to the past.Oh lord!It’s giving the 19th century.It was the Victorian era once again!What would they have next?A masquerade ball?She chuckled lightly as she placed her own flowery hat on her head, feeling as though she was part of some kind of regency novel.Li
“We can leave now if you want,” Sebastian said as he took her reddened hand, massaging it softly.She didn't have to put up with this nonsense.Kourtney looked up at him, her heart swelling with gratitude.“No, I don’t want to. I can handle them,” she replied, determination flooding her veins.You can call her so many things. But a “quitter” isn't one of them.“Very well then. They will either accept you or face my wrath. I assure you this,” Sebastian spoke with ruthless precision as he pulled her closer.As a child, he had watched helplessly as his late mother was bullied continuously by members of the Woods family.Because of her poor background, they had never liked her.Back then, he couldn't do anything about it except clench his fists in frustration. However, one day, he vowed never to feel powerless like that ever again—a promise that fueled his fierce determination to succeed and made him become the man he is today.And now, he couldn't help his protectiveness over Kourtney a
That fear!It was that fear that somehow protected her like a shield, making them comply with whatever Sebastian commanded, even if it meant accepting her as his wife.They hated her presence here but could do little to nothing about it.Great!Just great!As they moved deeper into the grand living room, ornate chandeliers hung from the ceilings, casting a warm glow that seemed almost mocking in contrast to the chilly reception she was currently receiving.Apart from Grandpa Woods, other family members began to step forward to greet her. But their attempts felt empty and void, mere formalities arranged with forced smiles, making her feel small and insignificant.“Welcome to the family, Young Lady,” a middle-aged woman with perfectly styled blonde hair said. “We’ve heard so much about you.” The words dripped with sarcasm, and Kourtney could see the flicker of contempt behind her bright blue eyes.Oh!They knew!It was clear they already knew her entire history.Her identity and recent
The drive to the Woods’s ancestral villa was filled with an electric tension that made Kourtney feel alive yet utterly terrified. She perched on the plush leather passenger seat of Sebastian’s Bentley while he drove, gliding through the streets with great skill and charisma.Her heart was thumping loudly in her chest, and she placed a hand on it as if to calm her raging storm of emotions.Sebastian, effortlessly handsome behind the wheel, glanced over at her with an eyebrow raised. “Can you stop being so nervous?” He asked, a hint of irritation seeping into his voice while his dark eyes narrowed slightly. He saw no reason for her to feel that way. She was making him feel like they were heading to a live-or-die boxing match instead of just his family villa.The woman simply had nothing to worry about. If only she knew....... Meanwhile, Kourtney rolled her eyes at him, a small gesture of defiance, but she said nothing.He still didn’t understand. He still didn’t get it.And she gue
After a moment of silence, when she didn’t hear any response, she shrugged it off as if nothing had happened.Edwin Woods's heart was hammering in his chest.That was a close call!He peeped, watching her from the small hole by the door.He realized she was still wrapped in that delicate white towel, her hair cascading down her back in damp waves. His mind raced, imagining how soft her skin would be if he could touch her. But he had to stay hidden.He observed every little movement, from the way she brushed her damp hair back to the way her towel hugged her curves. She was so beautiful, so enchanting, and he couldn’t tear his eyes away from her.He felt like a thief, stealing moments of her life, but in his mind, he was merely a guardian waiting for the right time to make his presence known.He watched as she rummaged through her closet, pulling out clothes.She resumed her whistling, a carefree tune that made him smile. The way she moved, so blissfully unaware of his presence, sent a
Sebastian stepped out of the car, holding the door open for her. “Come on, let’s go inside,” he urged gently as he extended a hand to her.Kourtney hesitated for a second but then took his hand, feeling the warmth of his grip. As she stepped out of the limousine, she was greeted by the bright lights of the boutique and the luxurious aura that surrounded it. Inside was a treasure trove of elegance. Silks, satins, and shimmering fabrics adorned the racks, each piece gorgeous and unique. She felt a flicker of excitement as she walked through the aisles while Sebastian watched her, admiration filling his eyes.She looked like a delicate flower in a garden of riches, and he wanted to shower her with the best of the best.“Pick whatever you like,” he ordered.Her heart fluttered at his words. “Really? You don’t mind?” “Not at all,” Sebastian rasped.The way her emerald eyes lit up—it was mesmerizing. Just like that, they spent the next few hours shopping.The shop attendants treated Kour
The men walked straight to her, ignoring Liam completely. “Mrs. Woods, Mr. Woods wants you to come join him in his car right away,” one of them said.Kourtney’s heart dropped. “He—he’s here?” she stammered, glancing nervously out the window. Sure enough, her husband’s white limousine was parked outside, surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers. It felt like a scene straight out of a movie!‘Oh no! What now?’ she winced inwardly.How did he even find out she was here?Would he accuse her of being promiscuous again?Surely, he might confuse this little luncheon with Liam for a romantic date. Right?The man was quick to jump to conclusions, and she feared facing the wrath of his anger again.What would he do to her this time? Drive her to Coolaroo again?Kourtney shivered with that thought in mind. Her heart started racing with fear and confusion.She stood up, her hands trembling as she shot Liam an apologetic look. “I... I have to go.”“Go? Go where?” Liam demanded, his expression
However, Sebastian sat behind his mahogany desk, barely acknowledging her presence. Instead, he was buried in a stack of papers on his desk, his dark brows furrowed in concentration.Rachael felt a pang of disappointment as he didn’t even glance up to greet her.She could feel the embarrassing mix of frustration and sadness swelling in her chest.As usual, he was acting as if she were just another piece of furniture in the room.What would it take for this man to notice her?She swallowed hard, the presence of his two hulking bodyguards hovering in the corner of the room making her feel even more small and vulnerable. She knew they were there to prevent her from getting too close, a reminder of the boundaries he had drawn after their last encounter in his office space.He had made it clear that he didn’t want anything personal between them, and that hurt more than she cared to admit.But why is she still...here?“Bastian,” she started, her voice smooth and confident as she prepared to
