ROCK MY HEART CHAPTER 23
Bright rays of light slanting on the bedroom wall pulled Navy awake. ‘Why didn’t I close the curtains before turning in? This is Vegas, not Seattle… Way too much sun in the morning…’ She stretched and breathed deep, then squinted her eyes against the sunlight to look past the window, which was somehow larger than she remembered. It was a sliding glass door… ‘How weird… My room doesn’t have a balcony… Am I still asleep?’ Blinking her eyes open, Navy shot a glance around the room, her fuzzy mind trying to figure out where she was as her joints groaned in protest. She shifted, and when muscles that she hadn’t used in far too long, ached in the most delightful ways, she bolted upright and shot a worried glance from left to right.“Oh, my God!” she said slowly when she found Victor sprawled out beside her, sound asleep, his gorgeous body completely uncovered, totally naked, and calling out to her in the most sinful ways. She clutc

That night, when Navy entered her apartment in Seattle, Paige was in the kitchen cooking a late dinner.“Navy! Sweetie! Welcome home!” she squealed, running to the door and enveloping Navy in a strong hug. “I’ve missed you so! How was your trip? Tell me all about it!”“It was really great,” Navy replied, biting back a yawn. Navy was exhausted from the flight back home and from spending the previous night with Victor. She yawned, longing for her own bed. But she knew that Paige would surely keep her up for at least long enough to catch up.“We did so many things… We met with a bunch of very important people, and I sat in on some pretty interesting workshops and conferences… And I also…”“All right, Miss Next Big Shot… What I would like to know is how was Victor?” Feeling the color fill her cheeks, Navy stopped.“How was… I’m sorry, but what do you mean by that?” Paige stared at her carefully, her piercing eyes narrowed.“I meant ‘how was Victor’

A knock came on the door a short time later. Both Victor and Navy were still at their desks, working, and Dustin walked in holding the pizza that had been dropped off downstairs.“I should have assumed that you were both still up here,” he remarked, putting the pizza down on a coffee table. He held up a six-pack of beer, a German beer that Navy had grown to love.“And I brought this up from downstairs. I figured after all of the hours you’ve both punched this week, you guys would need to unwind a little,” he finished with a wink. Navy watched as a strange look passed between Victor and Dustin. She had trouble determining if the good-natured look was full of meaning, or just a friendly way to sign off as Dustin left the room. Does he know what happened in Vegas? Did Victor tell him? She was almost offended, but then she realized that she had told Paige immediately when she’d arrived home. Navy tried to put what had happened be

Navy prayed that she remembered to tidy up before she left for work that morning. Her small bedroom, while never actually dirty or too messy, was generally quite chaotic. She’d spent so much of her childhood trying to be perfect for her parents that not cleaning her room every single day was her small form of rebellion. When she opened the door, Navy said a silent prayer in thanks that her room was mostly clean. She turned to Victor.“It’s… Ehm… small. Probably smaller than you’re used to…” Victor cast an appraising look around and smiled.“It’s perfect, sweetheart… It’s absolutely great.” Suddenly her space seemed way too small. Victor’s huge frame appeared to take up the entire room and Navy noticed the temperature had risen at least twelve hundred degrees since they’d entered. She could smell his cologne and wondered if, hoped that, the intoxicating scent would seep into everything she owned. He interacted with the things in her most

Victor heard the incessant buzz of Navy’s cell phone alarm clock. He took a look, then rolled over and buried his face in her hair.“What time is it?”“It’s 6 am, baby.” She yawned, turning and curling into his side. He felt her warmth and pulled her closer. They had only been asleep for a few hours, yet he’d slept better than he had in a long time. They slept close, which was the only way her smallish bed would allow them. Victor groaned and kissed the back of her neck“This feels so good… I want to stay like this forever…” he whispered.“Me too,” Navy replied smiling.“You know what, baby? We can! Why don’t you call in sick?”“Oh, I would,” she told Victor and turned in his arms to face him. “But you see&hellip

With the press gathered, Victor took his spot behind the podium in front of the reporters to announce the opening of the Mirage Hotel.“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome! I was born, raised, and educated here, in Seattle. I’ve opened my first nightclub here. I’ve since expanded my business and opened successful clubs all over the country.” ‘This is it!’ Victor smiled broadly as he savored the moment of his career. He gestured to Navy as she started the slide show presentation behind him.“I’m pleased to officially announce the opening here, in Seattle, of the first of what I hope to be many ‘Mirage Hotels’!” The audience applauded appreciatively. He brought Navy forward.

After a week of crying day and night over Victor, over losing the man of her dreams, Navy decided it was time to pick up her life and start fresh. She stayed in her apartment, since what happened that one time, she’d gone out for a walk. In a few minutes, Navy found herself surrounded by paparazzi who were questioning her relationship with Victor, what she did to earn her promotion, and her hasty departure from the company. Since the day she’d left ‘VH Holdings’, Navy hadn’t spoken to Victor. If she did, she was afraid that she would fall back under his spell. She would go back to work for him, and always live under the shadow of the scandal. And she didn’t need that. What she needed was a fresh start… Away from hi

Navy took her seat on the airplane, economy this time. This trip to Las Vegas wasn’t on the dime of ‘VH Holdings’. And she was alone… without him. That was the difference. Well, that and the fact that she had only purchased a one-way ticket. Once again, she was sitting on a plane… She looked outside the window and tried to stay calm since flying was still terrifying. She fastened her seatbelt and closed her eyes. Navy recalled her first trip to Vegas, she recalled Victor and the way he helped her, his voice so soothing… Tears started stinging her eyes, so she shook her head.“Stop it…” Navy whispered to herself. “He’s gone… He’s not coming back. And you’re leaving Seattle, so… stop torturing yourself. Focus on your n

Navy was in her kitchen when her phone rang. She ran to it and saw Victor’s number displayed on the screen. She frowned, debating whether or not to answer it. She had stubbornly refused to take any of his calls in the month that had passed since she had spoken to him, although it felt like an eternity, and thinking about Victor still hurt her. That was a sure sign that they shouldn’t be together. Victor had too much power to cause her pain. She couldn’t risk her heart with him, because he would surely break it. Sure, Paige had said so many times she was being stupid. ‘Not being able to live without him is the surest sign that you should be together,’ she’d advised her. Paige had told her that this was just another way she pushed away her happiness. Navy had sabotaged her own relationship, and Keera had given her the perfect excuse to do it. Navy didn’t see it that way, and she had done well to avoid him at all costs in the pas
ROCK MY HEART CHAPTER 37
Victor let himself into Navy’s apartment with the key she had given him. He was already booked in a suite on the Strip, for convenience of his scheduled meetings, but he knew that he would be spending every night in Navy’s bed. Speaking to her on the phone the past few days was quite strange. She was… distant, and cold. Not her real usual self. When he asked her if anything was wrong, she gave him an ‘everything’s just fine’ that he didn’t quite trust. He shook it off, telling himself that the awkwardness came from the distance, the stress, and working too much and that things would be fine when they were actually together in the same city. Shutting the door behind him, Victor inhaled. He could smell her everywhere and smiled satisfied. Now that he was back with Navy, every day was a relief. He felt lighter and stayed positive, even when work became too much, he knew that he had Navy. Yes, there was distance between them but she was only just a
ROCK MY HEART CHAPTER 36
When Navy heard the announcement of the arrival of Paige’s flight, she couldn’t contain her excitement. It had been so long since she’d seen her best friend, and Navy had worked hard to make the next five days spectacular. She looked around at all of the other people, waiting quietly for their loved ones. Navy, however, was bouncing slightly, trying to expend some energy while she waited for Paige. Sure, she missed Victor, as she hadn’t seen him since the weekend that they reconciled, but she missed Paige in a way she couldn’t imagine. In missing Victor, she missed their intimacy, his loving words, his touches, his body. But with Paige, it was completely different. Paige was the closest thing she got to a sister. She missed having Paige around to share late-night chats, chick flicks, and the occasional bottle (or two) of wine. Well, they talked on the phone and so on, but it wasn’t the same. She saw Paige’s blond pixie cut before she sa
ROCK MY HEART CHAPTER 35
When Monday morning rolled around, Navy had a definite skip in her step. Early that morning, Victor had returned to Seattle, but not before spending two amazing days and nights with her at her apartment. She had been happy in Vegas before she and Victor had rekindled their relationship. But now, everything felt right, perfect… All the planets were perfectly aligned and everything in her life was starting to fall into place. Victor had already texted her before the plane took off, and Navy eagerly awaited his arrival at home, when he would call her. She missed his voice, the way he roughly cleared his throat when he wanted her, his breath on her ear, the way he was ‘punishing’ her for being such a bad girl in bed... The way he made love to her the past couple of days was so rough, passionate, erotic… Victor was the same as before, outside the bed… Kind, thoughtful, attentive, romantic, sweet… But when they were in bed, well… he was someone differe

Her flavor played along his taste buds and a moan crawled out of his throat as ripples of pleasure raced through his veins. Her whimper lingered in the air as she quivered beneath his mouth and the headboard banged as she pulled on it.“More…” Navy whispered, and Victor heard the need, the impatience in her voice.“I like tasting you… I love when you come in my mouth…” he said, not nearly ready to take her. “I want more… Tell me you want it too…” He didn’t want to stop… He wasn’t ready to end their encounter. Victor wanted to play with her for a little while, and take command of her body. Navy whimpered her response and began panting as he stretched her lips wider, opening her up to him even more. Damn! The view was breathtaking... The taste of her, divine… Giving her more of what she wanted, he ran his tongue over her, licking from bottom to top before pushing it in deep. She squirmed in response, and with that, he buried his face between her l
ROCK MY HEART CHAPTER 33
Emotions and sensations ripped through him, like a tornado. Navy abandoned his neck, her mouth going to his chest. Her lips felt like fire on his skin, teasing over his flesh, her tongue circling his nipples, coming perilously close with each swirl. Victor ran his hands through her hair, holding Navy to him, but they fell to his sides when she broke free and stepped back. Her gaze never left his as she shed her jeans and her panties, moving with a sensuality that damn near killed him. Deep desire slammed into him as Navy tossed the rest of her clothes away and stood before him fully naked, his for the taking. He stared at her, finding it most difficult to take his gaze off her beautiful body and how she offered it up to him.“Baby,” Victor whispered, the love he felt for her coming over him, blindsiding him and leaving him feeling like he’d been sucker punched. His heart squeezed as he watched her, not daring to move… to speak… to breathe… He st
ROCK MY HEART CHAPTER 32
Victor stewed in his hotel room. He was pacing the room like a caged animal. Keera had just left and he was feeling restless. He was also still agitated from his run-in with Navy earlier that day. “Fuck!” Victor exclaimed and stopped pacing. A short time ago, Navy had meant the world to him. He had seen every side of her… Kissed her… Made love to her… Now the woman of his life acted like he was just a stranger to her… As if they never met.“Fuck!” he exclaimed again and restarted pacing. Her cold indifference at lunch infuriated him so much that after his meeting with Keera, he had to take the rest of the day off. He just couldn’t concentrate. Keera would have been a surefire way to release some tension. Finally, some good sex after all those weeks since he had a woman… since he had Navy in his arms… And Victor knew it would have been great. Maybe that was part of the reason why he was so agitated. His member didn’t seem to understan
ROCK MY HEART CHAPTER 31
Las Vegas was quite different from Seattle. ‘This is the understatement of the century,’ Navy thought as she stepped out of her apartment and into the blazing heat. She’d found it hard to adjust to all of the changes at first. She missed Paige. Her best friend still called and they chatted online whenever they could, but it wasn’t the same. The pace of Las Vegas was also different from that of Seattle. Sure, Seattle was a big, important city but Las Vegas had far more hustle and bustle. There were always people everywhere, at all hours, coming and going. Tourists stopping for pictures. People drinking and acting out. Navy was more of a quiet person and she didn’t care for the rowdiness that came with working on the Strip. But the first adjustment Navy had to make was the heat. ‘Sweet Mother of God, the heat was… unbelievable!’ She’d always liked warm weather, but when the hot desert sun blazed on her dail
