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." — 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
Stavros' POVIt was crazy busy inside once I got in. My eyes automatically scanned the area looking for my friend particularly. He is usually sitting in our favorite spot, but I didn't see him there or anywhere.I strolled aimlessly across the crowded room with my eyes scanning each guest until I spotted someone familiar.A certain green-eyed I've been trying to get out of my mind.My heart suddenly beats like a goddamn drum, too loud I could hear it in my ears so loud, it felt deafening. Feeling the butterflies were set off inside my stomach. I find it weird. I've never felt it before.For some reason, I felt giddy. Excitement filled me overwhelmingly, and the possessive part of me, which I realized I had in me, nagged at me persistently.She's sitting alone on one of the lounges, animatedly watching people dancing, all smiling while sipping her drink. She looks like she's enjoying herself.I was about to walk in her direction when someone patted my shoulder from behind. I grunted in
We both don't believe in love."Planning to tie the knot soon?" I teased.He scowled at me. "Yeah right!" he snorted sarcastically."She's back to Russia, dude. I didn't hear anything from her ever since I told her I can't be what she wants," he burst out into laughters.We were talking about our past relationships, and we just laughed at every experience we had during our Harvard days.Then, I suddenly felt the need to go to the washroom. I excused myself and made my way at the very back, behind the long bar.My eyes unconsciously ran through the crowd in the bar. The girl with a slender back caught my full attention. I stared at her smooth, glowing skin exposed from the backless dress, I knew instantly it's her.I couldn't take my eyes off her back.The need to empty my bladder was all but forgotten.When she turned her head to look at the man beside her, I stiffened, and I could feel my blood rushing through my veins.I suddenly felt the irritation growing within me. My hands uncons
I gave Jayson a grateful nod when he slid on the counter my drink towards me. Grabbing my drink, I took a tentative sip, my eyes trained on her."Can I meet them, if you don't mind?"I'm persistent. She gave me an anxious stare."Sure," she agreed eventually.I almost jumped on my feet as I felt like I won over that prick, who didn't seem to get that his existence wasn't needed anymore.She turned to the other guy, much to my annoyance, and said goodbye politely.I heard the guy asking for her number, and I suddenly felt overwhelmingly possessive over Alessandra.Curling my hand around her slim waist possessively, I grunted. "Let's go, Alessandra!" I scowled unconsciously.My possessive beast within me howling like a mad bull, unstoppable. Her sweet scent wafted through the stifling air and filled my nostril.It was intoxicating. I badly wanted to bury my nose into the crook of her neck, and lost in her smell.God, she's a goddamn temptress. An innocent one.She looked up at me, and g
I suggested, “Let’s step outside,” 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 son’s sharp voice command the girl to leave immediately, promising a call when he was free.“Is dad here too?“ Alexander

Although, when he turns twenty-eight, my husband will give him the Demakis Corp, as promised.“Honey, I’ve been thinking about a trip to Greece to see Alexander.” 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.“Stop wriggling,” Stav chuckled, his breath warm on my ear, “or I’m gonna drop you,” and I frowned.“Do you understand that I’m pregnant? Of course, I’m heavy. I’m fat!“I hissed, a little stung by the truth, the words like a bitter taste in my mou
“Done, Mommy,” he proudly exclaimed, a grin splitting his saucy face as he held up his empty plate. “Can I leave now?” he asked in his sweet little voice, melting every ounce of resistance I had to put up with them.“Daddy will clean you up first,” I smiled as I put the plate of spaghetti in front o
“Hand it to me,” 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.“I promise I will eat my dinner, Mommy. Just let me taste it,” he begged, smili

“Are you okay?” I asked.“Sorry, I woke you up,” she murmured hoarsely.She looked like she had just vomited everything she had eaten the previous night, and her face was devoid of color.“Should I call a physician?” 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
