You forgot they are your brothers, Ali. Obviously!My mind chastised.I felt something strange.It felt like every fiber of my body was on fire. He was also staring back at me or maybe it was just a figment of my imagination.Even his gaze was powerful, intimidating, and domineering. It made you cower.I saw him walk away to the corner.The employees, who were waiting for the elevator to come, parted like the red sea.He strode like he owned the room, a head taller among the people around him, at the very end of the elevator.Lucy nudged me on the elbow and whispered."Did you see how he looked at you? He scanned you up and down. He's so hot. I'm wondering who is he?" She whispered dreamily.Her longing tone snapped me out of my trance.I let out a deep breath, I didn't realize I was holding the entire second or minute we locked eyes.Did we?"He is Mr. Stavros Demakis." We heard Bree explain briefly.I'm not sure if she heard what Lucy commented, causing us to snap our heads at her.
Just at the mere sight of her, all my muscles tightened with a throbbing need.I felt the urge to see her face, and as if on cue, she turned her head and our eyes locked.I sucked in my breath as I met her eyes. I was stunned. My breathing caught up in the air for a second. I felt a lump stuck in my throat, with my heart beating rapidly and loudly against my ribcage. I could hear it in my ears. I felt stupefied. She was staring back at me with a tilt on her slightly dimpled chin, and I know that kind of look.A satisfied grin briefly broke on my lips.Bloody hell, she's gorgeous! I mentally groaned.Those alluring vivid green eyes that stared at me so innocently, caught me off guard.Does she work here?I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket, snapping me out of my haywire thoughts.I acquiescently tore my eyes away and strode off to my private elevator.I pulled out my phone from the breast pocket of my suit and check the caller mindlessly. My head was still lingering on the brunette w
"This is going to sound crazy, but... from the moment I first set eyes on you, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you." - Leigh Fallon------------------------Alessandra's POVMy work begins with filing reports and reorganizing the system.I was on the last file when I noticed Mr. Hernandez's head peeking through his office door."Ms. De La Vega," he called in his nasal tone, causing my whole attention to drift to him. "Will you please prepare the Account Summary reports for the last quarter? Mr. Demakis will see me in an hour." He asked politely."And please, bring it in when he's here. I may need you to stay with me and take notes too, will you?" He added on as he smiled."Yes, sir," I replied with a small tight smile, nodding my head.Mr. Demakis?I remember those ladies at the front desk saying he's the CEO. Of course, that hot guy. And I'm going to meet him on my first day?I hope, I don't make any mistakes. I don't want to look stupid in front of him. He doesn't look ap
I pulled my hand in a brisk move. The warmth of his palm seeped through my mine and slithered through my body like fire, startling me.I felt like an electric bolt had rushed through my veins and unto my heart, making my heart beat faster than ever.I looked at him, frowning, holding his eyes, wondering if there was any telltale that he felt the same, But he just looked at me as if I am some peculiar thing.I had no idea if he felt it too. Or was it just me?Before it became awkward, Mr. Hernadez's office door opened up, and he saw Mr. Demakis.Triple crap!He gave me specific instructions.When the CEO arrives, I will send him into my boss' office. With the papers.And here I am, thirsting dumbly over the CEO.What a great start to my first day."Mr. Demakis, you're here!" Mr. Hernandez exclaimed warily as he quickly walked closer to us, looking apprehensive."I'm sorry if you waited long. I see you met my new secretary?" Mr. Hernandez apologized anxiously, though he made an effort to
"Thank you, sir," I replied with the most impassive tone I could muster.I could feel my legs starting to feel like jelly.Then, he disappeared through the door, to my relief.I let out a loud, relieved sigh, forgetting about Mr. Hernandez's existence. He looked at me with curiosity.I just shrugged my shoulders and headed to the door."Looks like Mr. Demakis had an eye on you, Ms. De La Vega?" My boss playfully remarked before I could reach the door lever handle.He is smiling thought-provokingly.I just smiled back in silence, reached out for the door handle, and pulled it open.I walked out the door with my whole body burning with embarrassment.Mr. Hernandez aparently witnessed all that.But before I could close the door behind me, he spoke again. "Thank you for today, Alessandra!" I nodded my head, forcing down the flush settling on my cheeks. "Mr. Demakis seems so pleasant today. I have never seen him act so cooly since I started working with him."I looked at him quizzically. "O
I was watching her as she spoke with someone over the phone. I heard her mention Sheena, one of the girls from the Accounting Department."Oh, sure. Perfect since we're not doing anything tonight. It's nice to loosen up a bit. Ali wouldn't mind." Then she stopped and listened while eating the rest of her noodles."Yes.""Okay, we'll see you shortly, then." She hung up."Looks like we've got something to do tonight!" She singed out, giggling as she made some funny dance moves."That was Sheena. She's inviting us to join them, clubbing with Railey, Shannon, Nico, Nazi, and Rizza.""Who's Shannon and Nico?" I asked. I don't remember meeting them."Oh, those lovers from the Financing Department. They're Rizza's best friends. They're both cool. You'll like them." Lucy explained, smiling reassuringly."So, would you like to go?" Lucy asked hopefully, throwing me puppy dog eyes. She knew I couldn't resist."Please, since we don't have anything to do," she added."Those guys seem pretty cool,
"A kiss that is never tasted, is forever, and ever wasted." â Billie Holiday---Alessandra's POVLucy looked stunning in her green dress, which brought out her creamy skin, and dark hair.The color complimented her truly.With scoop-asymmetric neckline and lace-up details at the back of her dress, it hugged her body beautifully. A zipper on the side concealed, and the dress reached just above her knees. She completed her outfit with black pumps and just a few accessories.I, on the other hand, wore a blue, sleeveless, heavyweight, luxe bandage dress featuring a sexy cut-out back. I completed it with a towering black heel and a contrasting clutch.I worked my hair up and let a few hair locks fall on my face to give it shape and flaunt my slender back.I wore silver dangling earrings and a silver watch.Lucy made a poor whistling sound that made me giggle."You look hot," Lucy praised, skimming me up and down.I grinned coyly. "You don't look bad yourself, Lucy!" I said, a teasing open
They looked at each other with adoration."Wow, I would love my friend to be my boyfriend, too, but unfortunately, Ali can't be my boyfriend," Lucy joked, causing everyone to burst out laughing."But, seriously, you guys are lucky. You found each other," she sincerely added as she took her first sip."I agree," I said, nodding my head. "I believe that friendship is one of the main recipes of a good relationship," I added.Shannon bobbed her golden head in agreement. "Trust and respect," she supplied, and we agreed."Damn!" Sheena giggled, staring at Lucy with mischief. My attention drew to her."There are a bunch of hot millionaires and billionaires here, Lucy," she winked at her. "This is the bar where most hot shots come to hang out and let loose," she added, grinning mischievously.Lucy just smiled, but obviously, of little interest.Perhaps for them, a place to get laid."So, Alessandra, are you dating anyone?" Railey asked.Tearing my eyes away from Sheena, I gave her my attention
I suggested, âLetâs step outside,â so she could dress in peace, without feeling rushed or observed. And I walked out the door with mixed feelings. Mortified and angry.I heard my sonâs sharp voice command the girl to leave immediately, promising a call when he was free.âIs dad here too?â Alexander
Despite the tumultuous journey of our marriage, filled with laughter and tears, our love has proven resilient, weathering every storm.I was happy. Overwhelmingly blissful.And until now, we still love each other. We respected each other. In every major life decision, weâve always had an equal voice
Although, when he turns twenty-eight, my husband will give him the Demakis Corp, as promised.âHoney, Iâve been thinking about a trip to Greece to see Alexander.â I randomly blurted out as I popped a piece of asparagus in my mouth.We were having dinner.Stavros sat in the middle of the long dining
Yes, he still makes me giggle like a giddy teenager.âStop wriggling,â Stav chuckled, his breath warm on my ear, âor Iâm gonna drop you,â and I frowned.âDo you understand that Iâm pregnant? Of course, Iâm heavy. Iâm fat!âI hissed, a little stung by the truth, the words like a bitter taste in my mou
âDone, Mommy,â he proudly exclaimed, a grin splitting his saucy face as he held up his empty plate. âCan I leave now?â he asked in his sweet little voice, melting every ounce of resistance I had to put up with them.âDaddy will clean you up first,â I smiled as I put the plate of spaghetti in front o
âHand it to me,â I demanded, my gaze sharp on Alex, a sweet smile playing on my lips that belied the warning in my eyes.My son shook his head vigorously, the familiar scene a blur of frustrated sighs and clenched fists.âI promise I will eat my dinner, Mommy. Just let me taste it,â he begged, smili

âAre you okay?â I asked.âSorry, I woke you up,â she murmured hoarsely.She looked like she had just vomited everything she had eaten the previous night, and her face was devoid of color.âShould I call a physician?â I asked, worried eyes sweeping her pale face. My heart pounded as unpleasant though
Her legs clamped down around my neck, and I held them apart as I devoured her as if I had been starved for years. Her resistance only fueled my desire to please her more, as her cries of ecstasy spurred me on.My skillful tongue fucked her, sucked her hard, then lapped it up and down. Sucking, lappi
