DANIELLE'S P.O.V.The first rays of the morning sunlight shined through the windows. I pulled away my blankets and rubbed at my eyes, removing the sleep from them. I stretched as I planted my feet into my bathroom slippers and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth.After clearing away the bitter taste on my tongue, I stepped out of my bed room and made for the kitchen to get a glass of water. On getting to the building, my steps were haltered by the image that I saw.Adrian stood in the kitchen, naked from the head to waist, and the only item of clothing that kept him from being completely nude was the white towel which hung around his waist. Water dripped down his back, making it obvious that he had just taken a bath. His blond locks, hung limply on his scalp from the water and glistened in the light. His muscles were taut and flexed as he reached for a glass in the cabinet above him. A swell of desire pulsed through my entire body, and as much as I hated it, I delighted in watchi
DANIELLE'S P.O.V.The rest of my lunch outing with Alvida was very eventful; I thoroughly enjoyed my time with my mother-in-law which was filled with gisting, eating, and laughing. Unlike Alfredo, who looked and acted like a strick disciplinarian, Alvida looked like a sweetheart and very much acted like one. Her personality was both cheerful and down-to-earth, and she had such an aura that told people there would never be a dull moment while with her; this made it sometimes hard to believe that she was the mistress of the Valentino empire.She reassured and comforted me with her warm smile, and made me forget my worries with her playful jokes. I realized, after spending time with her, that there was no reason to fear or fret about being her daughter-in-law. She treated me like a mother would her child, and I appreciated her efforts at trying to make me feel welcome to the family.On my return from lunch, I spent the rest of my evening lazing around the house, alternating between watch
DANIELLE'S P.O.V.Adrian stared at me like I had suddenly grown horns."What are you talking about?" he asked, suspicion heavily lacing his tone."This." I said while pulling out the brown paper bag from my purse. "I need answers to these."Adrian stood from his office chair and walked over to one of the couches. I sat on a sofa across from him and crossed my legs, ensuring that the skirt of my dress rode up my knees, exposing a sufficient amount of skin. I saw Adrian's eyes dart towards my exposed laps for a brief second and look away. He cleared his throat and adjusted his neck tie."What do you want?" he asked.I gently poured out the contents of the bag onto the centre table."I don't really understand any of this." I said."What's there not to understand?" he asked."Look, Adrian. I would not be seated here, listening to and watching you act like crap if I could make sense of it by myself."He stared at me for a few seconds, saying nothing. Then he picked up the papers I had drop
DANIELLE'S P.O.V.Adrian's eyes glazed over with an emotion that I recognized and knew all too well; lust. He stared at me, his light blue orbs burning with an intense fire that made my insides squeeze and burn. After sending Mr Gates away, Adrian had pushed back his office chair and pulled me towards him, expelling me from the confines of his large mahogany office table and exposing me to the gentle glare of the office light bulbs.He held my chin roughly in his fingers, "You naughty girl." he drawled, his Italian accent enunciating and causing the feiry pit that had being ignited in my belly to burn further."You're bolder than I've ever given you credit for, principessa" he said, smirking."It's great to see your eyes of enlightenment have been opened. You know now not to underestimate me." I retorted with a smirk of my own."Now ,where were we?" he asked, his voice dropping an octave lower, making my heart beat faster from the sensuality of it."I was in the process of teaching yo
DANIELLE'S P.O.V.My legs hung in the air with my knees bent, my thighs were spread far apart from each other to reveal the treasure that lay in between them; a wet and soft cocoa, ripe and ready for the plucking; and my hands rested on my breasts. I looked up at Adrian, daring him, with my eyes, to take up the challenge I was throwing at him.Adrian's eyes narrowed impossibly further into slits at my action. His hand, which had been gripping his hair tightly a while ago, dropped limply to his side; possibly from the surprise that watching me had given him."Punish me, Mr Valentino." I said invitingly, "I did a very bad thing this morning. I deserve to be severely punished."Adrian stood at the threshold of the living room, staring down at my figure on the couch. He looked hesitant, like he was suspicious that my ready submission to capital sexual punishment from him was a trap of sorts.I decided that if I was going to get any of the action I desperately needed that night, I would ha
DANIELLE'S P.O.V.The sunlight tickled my thighs as its rays escaped through the curtains; while the morning licked itself over the sky. My curtains made riffs of the sky's chilly warmth sip through, filling my bedroom with gleams of light.The world was eerily silent.Opening my eyes, the silence broke as my heart began it's steady rhythm and my nose and lungs worked hand in hand, providing my body with whiffs of the fresh morning air.Two weeks had passed in a blur of very boring and lonely days spent binge watching tv shows and movies alone in the house, and less lonely days spent visiting my dearest mother-in-law, Alvida, and being visited by my friends and my sister-in-law, Alisia.And now, the day that I had both dreaded and looked forward to had finally arrived. It was the first week of August; summer had finally come and today would be my first day at the business school. I was, of course, very excited to start out the day, but also extremely nervous about what the day had in
DANIELLE'S P.O.V.Fearing the unknown was so immensely common and completely normal, however, for some reason, I could never find the courage or strength to get past it, unlike every one else around me. Whether it was driving alone towards and around a location I had never been to, finding my way around unfamiliar buildings and places, or, as was the case at that particular moment, walking around a new college campus; getting lost was one of my greatest fears.It was a sunny day in August. Sweat had started to coat my brows from my seemingly endless walking, back and forth the campus, in my attempts to locate the building I was to be in at that very moment. The time on my wristwatch read 10:30am. I was late by half an hour and I feared that apart from getting lost on my first day, I would be subjected to humiliation in front of my new colleagues.I stomped my foot on the ground in frustration, and released a sigh, air escaping my partly opened lips. I had no idea what to do. I was in
DANIELLE'S P.O.V.A woman walked up to the podium. She was immaculately dressed in black suit pants and a navy blue wrap around blouse. Her short black hair was packed into a low ponytail at the back of her head and the sound her black heels, clicking and clacking, resonated in the now silent hall."Good morning everyone." she greeted.Her voice carried loudly in the large room, indicating that she had on a microphone."Good morning, ma'am." I greeted alongside the entire class; our voices blended into one and caused a powerful and loud riffle in the room."I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. There were some urgent matters that had to be dealt with." she said, "Now, let us start the day with introductions. I am Doris Covington, the Dean of Students."A loud applause was started by one of the students, I and the others following suit in the ovation."Thank you." she said, ending the ovation. "I welcome you all to New York University, and most especially, I welcome you to Leonard Stern'
