Vivi’s POVI couldn’t help myself. I stood there, laughing under my breath, almost mocking at how ridiculous it was that Aaron was standing on my doorstep, holding a bouquet of flowers. He had ignored my calls for days, shut his phone off like some moody teenager. And yet here he was, on the other side of the door, his face stiff with something between regret and impatience, holding out those damn flowers like he was some romantic hero in a cheesy movie.“Really?” I muttered under my breath, staring at him in disbelief. “Now you come around?”I leaned casually against the doorframe of his car, arms crossed, and gave him my best ‘you didn’t see this coming’ look.“Aaron,” I started, letting the word slide off my tongue, “So after you finally decided to show up, you're just going to be spewing too much nonsense, is that it?”He was tense—too tense. There was something about his energy, his aura, that told me something was off. Not that it mattered. I wasn’t the one playing for anyt
Kaelon’s POVI sat in the grand dining room, a quiet morning stretching in front of me. The soft hum of the city outside was muffled by the heavy curtains that lined the windows. It was rare that I could sit still, let alone have a peaceful breakfast, but this morning was different. There was no rush and for once, I could actually enjoy my coffee.The rich taste of it filled my senses, and I let the steam from the cup warm my face. The silence was broken only by the soft clinking of silverware and the occasional shuffle of the kitchen staff moving behind the scenes. I was just beginning to enjoy the calm when the sound of hurried footsteps echoed down the hallway, followed by the creak of the dining room door swinging open.I looked up from my coffee, and there he was. Aaron.The guy was a mess. His hair was rumpled, his shirt slightly crooked, and in his hand, he was holding a bouquet of flowers like some kind of desperate teenager. I raised an eyebrow and set my cup down, watch
Liv’s POVI stood there for a few seconds, my heart pounding in my chest. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. There I was, standing in the VIP entrance of the Blackwood Corporation building, having a near confrontation with Kaelon. But of course there was nothing I could really do other than to just stand there and take it.I wanted to scream, to yell at him for being so condescending, but I caught myself just in time. He was my boss, after all. His words echoed in my head, as sharp and cruel as a whip. “Time is money, Liv. And you’re working in my company now. You might want to act like it.” I swallowed, the bitterness rising in my throat. The nerve of him. He had no right to talk to me like that, to belittle me in front of God knows how many people who had probably witnessed the entire exchange. I had every right to talk back, to remind him that I wasn’t some employee to be treated like a child.But I knew better.I knew better than to engage with him. Kaelon was too
Kaelon’s POVI leaned back in my chair, the mahogany surface of the conference table cold against my palms.The boardroom buzzed with the usual chatter, the hum of voices blending into a background noise I had long grown accustomed to.I had a meeting with the board members concerning the new fashion line we were venturing into. Nothing out of the ordinary.Discussions about the fashion line were the usual agenda, but there was an undercurrent of something else today.I could feel it.“We had sent in a notice to the intern, Liv Benett. We trust that she is going to be able to come up with something very beautiful, sellable and unique.” Misa Linda, the project manager for the new fashion line spoke.The designs she’d been working on were now a topic of conversation in this room, and it was clear that the board had high expectations.“I have just sent word to invite Liv to this meeting so she can present whatever she comes up with. I hope that sounds perfect, President Kaelon.”” Mr. Dav
Liv’s POVBack at my office, the sound of the clock ticking echoed through the otherwise silent office, reminding me that time was slipping away. My fingers ached from the long hours of using my pencil. But I couldn’t afford to mess this up.Kaelon’s expectations hung over me like a dark cloud, and no matter how much I hated to admit it, the pressure felt like a heavy weight on my shoulders.I had promised to deliver, and deliver I would.The sketch pads on my desk seemed endless, spread out like a labyrinth of paperwork and design plans. I shuffled through them, scanning for errors and double-checking every little detail. The clock on the wall moved faster than I wanted it to, but I refused to let that stop me. The designs had to be perfect.I glanced at the calendar on my screen, the date flashing in front of me. The end of the week was quickly approaching, and I still had so much to do. So many sketches to perfect, so many decisions to make.A soft knock on my office door snapped
Aaron’s POVThe dim light of the room didn’t do much to help my mood, but then again, I wasn’t here for comfort. I was here for answers, and I wasn’t leaving without them.I slammed the door shut behind me, the sound reverberating through the apartment. My hands gripped the edges of the counter, knuckles white, as I tried to force my thoughts into some semblance of order.Liv had disappeared. Disappeared.Chris, who had been lounging on the couch, glanced up at me with a raised eyebrow. “You’re pacing again, man.”I shot him a glance, trying to mask the fury that was bubbling beneath the surface. "I don't get it, Chris," I muttered, turning back to stare out the window. The city sprawled before me, cold and indifferent. "Why the hell would she leave her mom’s place like that? Just up and vanish without a word?"Chris sighed, rubbing his hand through his messy hair, clearly not as affected by the whole thing as I was. "She’s a grown woman, Aaron. Maybe she needed space. You can't keep
Aaron’s POVI had been waiting close to an hour in the garage, hoping to catch Liv on her way back and trail to see where she lives.Suddenly my phone pinged. I glanced at the screen and it was a message from Chris.Hey man,I got an address to the Rose's place. Apparently, she's on a parliament that publishes the address of their correspondence…..I skipped to where the address was written.You should find Liv there. Goodluck man.Chris.“Good thing you keep proving yourself as useful." I chuckled and made my way out of the parking lot.In no time I pulled up in front of Rose’s place, and immediately, I felt a sense of unease settle in my chest. What if she wasn't here? What if she'd throw me out without casting me a single glance?I sighed. “There's only one way to find out." True to Chris's words, her flowers littered everywhere.There were blooms I didn’t recognize, colors I couldn’t name, and the whole place felt almost... alien to me. My fingers tightened on the steering wheel
Kaelon’s POVThe office was dead silent, save for the soft hum of my computer and the occasional click of keys from Evelyn, my ever-efficient personal assistant. I’d been here for hours—too many hours—but that was nothing new. In the business world, time didn’t care about boundaries, and neither did I. It was all about getting the job done, and right now, there were a lot of things that demanded my attention.“I’m heading out now Sir,” Evelyn called, her voice cutting through the quiet. She always had that energetic, upbeat tone, even at this late hour.I glanced at the clock on my desk and it was already forty-five minutes past nine PM. It was late enough that I figured I could give her a pass for leaving. Most people would have gone home an hour ago, but I wasn’t most people. Evelyn knew that.“Alright, go ahead. I’ll be here for a bit longer.” I didn’t even look up from my work. I could feel her eyes on me, though. She always had that way about her, like she was weighing whether
LIV’S POVIt had been a week since everything had shifted in my life. The hum of normalcy had returned, but I knew deep down it was only an illusion. My relationship with Kaelon had intensified.I woke up early this morning, a mixture of anticipation and nerves swirling in my stomach. The office had become a haven of sorts for me—a place where I could lose myself in design and creativity, even if the underlying tension of my personal life lingered like a shadow.As I entered the office, I was greeted by the usual buzz of activity. The lights overhead flickered on, casting their cold, sterile glow on the polished floors. It was early, but the office was already awake, full of people hustling and bustling around. I settled into my desk, the familiar sound of my heels clicking softly as I made my way to my workstation. I had a few new designs to work on, some concepts that had been brewing in my mind for days.But as I began sketching out my ideas, trying to put my thoughts onto paper,
VIVI’S POVI sat in my room, frustration was pressing down on my shoulders as I stared at the glowing screen of my phone. The call had ended an hour ago, but I couldn’t shake the image of Aaron’s name flashing across my caller ID without an answer. The tightness in my chest only deepened as I replayed the rejection, the unanswered attempts, and the gnawing emptiness that had settled in my stomach.The backlight of my phone came on in a flash and disappeared. Excitement coursed through me, FULLY expecting a text back from Aaron.The most foolish expectations of my life. Sighs.“You were right! There's something fishy going on between Mr. Blackwood and Miss Bennett. Once I am able to put together the evidence, I will send them across to you." AzI had hired a private investigator, yes. I smiled at the possibility of Liv’s downfall. Aaron would finally see her for who she is and will come back to me.I stared at the words sprawled out on my screen again.I wanted answers. But I was
Liv’s POVIt was a chilly Sunday evening when Kaelon pulled up to my house, the soft hum of his car engine slowly coming to a stop in front of the curb. I turned to him, my fingers lingering on the handle of the door. "Thanks for the ride," I said, my voice softer than I intended. It was strange, feeling this warm tug in my chest every time I looked at him, especially after everything we had shared this weekend. It had been one of those weekends that made me forget the world outside, but now, it was time to face the reality of the coming workweek.Kaelon gave me a small smile, his dark eyes unreadable as usual. "Of course," he replied, though his voice had a warmth to it that made my heart skip. He leaned over the console, a familiar gesture, his lips brushing my cheek in a quick, almost imperceptible kiss. It wasn’t just a goodbye.It felt like something more, something that stirred inside me, begging me to say what had been lingering on the tip of my tongue all weekend.I love y
Vivi’s POVI sat across the polished dining table, the familiar scent of rosemary chicken and roasted vegetables filling the air. The crystal chandelier above us gleamed, casting a soft glow across the room, but none of it could make the tension dissipate. Not when my father’s piercing eyes were fixed on me, assessing, questioning."You still haven’t started your internship, Vivi." His voice, deep and commanding, broke the quiet hum of the room. I could feel the pressure building in my chest. "I’ve arranged a fantastic opportunity for you at the firm. Why haven’t you started yet?"The question hung in the air, as much a command as it was an inquiry. I could feel the weight of his expectations, the kind that always made my stomach churn. I knew where this was going. My father, James Prescott, always thought he had everything planned for me, from the internships to the career, the house, the friends, the life I should lead. But the idea of following his path—the one he meticulously lai
KAELON’S POV I froze. My chest tightened as her words settled into me, reverberating through my bones.Because I want you. It was the answer I hadn’t expected. And yet, it was the answer I had been longing for.I turned to her, my heart pounding in my chest. Her eyes met mine, and there was something in her gaze—something raw, something vulnerable, that made everything else fade into the background.“Liv...” I started, my voice barely a whisper, thick with emotion.She wasn’t done though. She stood up from the bed, taking a few steps toward me. Her eyes never left mine, her steps slow, measured, as if she were deciding something with every movement. She stopped just in front of me, close enough that I could feel the warmth of her body against mine, but not close enough for me to reach out and pull her into me.I could see the uncertainty in her eyes, but there was something else there too. Something strong. And I could feel it in myself too—the same hunger, the same desire that had
Liv’s POVIt had been so easy to fall for him because he was everything I never thought I’d need. Strong, steady, protective. But there was a whole lot of drama I wasn’t prepared for if we came out to the public.I looked down at my hands, fiddling with the edge of the blanket again, trying to find the right words. “You don’t understand,” I whispered. “My family... they’re complicated. You think it’s just a matter of meeting them, but it’s not that easy.”Kaelon’s eyes softened, but his expression didn’t change. He leaned back, his arms crossed over his chest as if weighing my words. “What’s so complicated about it?”I inhaled deeply, gathering the courage to say what I had been avoiding for so long. “My parents don’t get along. My mom and dad... they divorced when I was younger, and there’s still so much bitterness there. And don’t even get me started on my extended family. My father is the only one I really talk to.” I paused, my chest tightening as I remembered the tension that al
LIV’S POVJust as I was settling back against the pillows, Kaelon's phone buzzed on the nightstand, snapping me out of my thoughts. I grabbed it, seeing Evelyn’s name flash across the screen.He returned about then and took the call. He placed the call on speaker and left the phone on the lampstand so he could feed me to the glass of cool water. “Hello, Evelyn. What’s up?"There was a brief silence before she responded in her usual crisp, efficient tone. “Sir, there’s an urgent matter that requires your attention. The financials for the merger need reviewing, and we’re on a tight deadline.”I could hear her flipping through papers in the background, the sound clear through the phone. "Liv’s not feeling well," Kaelon muttered, turning my attention back to the bed. “She has a fever, Evelyn.”There was a soft sigh on the other end, and Evelyn’s voice softened, just for a moment. “Of course. But you’ll need to make a decision soon, and this can’t wait.”I closed my eyes and felt my stom
Liv’s POVI had sex a couple of times with Kaelon, but tonight, he seemed to have been prepared to make me addicted to him.He lifted me from the windowsill and took me out to the pool. He laid down on one if the beds and smiled at me.I was captivated by the way his hard cock bounced up, as it broke free from his hands. The shaft was hard as steel, with thick throbbing veins running down the entire length and the big pink head was oozing drops of precum, making it nice and slippery. Underneath this were his big round balls, pulled up tightly against his body, filled with cum and all set to quench the raging fire inside me.Before I could do anything his voice came out low and seductive. “Don't worry Kitten, I’m all yours.” I smiled as I sat down on Kaelon's thighs and held his cock. I closed my mouth over his cap and sucked him like my life depended on how far his cock could go into my throat.Getting up again, I firmly grasped his cock and held it against my pussy. The tip easily
Kaelon's POV As we walked towards the room, I could not help but notice how flushed she looked.I don't know how we managed to keep our hands off each other for this long, but I wasn't going to deny myself and her the pleasure of being together this weekend.I wasn't going to think of Aaron or work.I want her to feel how much I care about her.“Are you okay?” I asked, my voice breaking the silence.She glanced at me, her gaze lingering for a moment before she answered with a simple, “Yeah. I’m good.”But I knew she wasn’t. It was in the way her eyes shifted slightly away from mine, how she avoided meeting my gaze. She was holding back something. I was starting to realize that Liv had layers, things she wasn’t ready to share with me yet. But I couldn’t rush her, I knew that. Whatever we were building between us, it had to come in its own time.I reached over, brushing my hand against hers. “The spa should help you relax. It’s what you need. Just take the night slow, Liv.”She met m
