Dean's POV:
Whithout even knocking at her office door, I storm right into it, slamming the door shut behind me."What the fuck is wrong with you?""I could ask you the same." And I see heat rising to her face."I told you yesterday that parking lot is mine and yet you have the audicity to park there again? Who the hell do you think you are?" My breathing is comming chopped due to the amount of anger I am feeling right now."And I told you yesterday, as long as there is no sign up there I don't give a fuck. You want your own parking lot? Then do something about it, put a damn sign up until then it's who comes first gets it."She stands up, giving me a death glare, moves around the desk and starts shoving my chest, wanting to push me direction door. I can only laugh at her attempt. She's only something like maybe 5'6 or 5'7 feet and petite. While I am 6'4 feet and probably have three times as broad shoulders than she has, I don't budge a single step, no matter how hard she tries.Instead I move her backwards until her ass hits the desk, both of my hands going down on her desk on both sides of her body, cornering her so she can't move, I lower my head to her."I don't accept people disobeying me. Is that clear?" I declare only inches away from her face.Her breath is coming heavy, just as mine. Instead of the expected fear in her face, there's this always stubborn look, but something else is taking over, too. The colour of her eyes has darkened, and her breath is going heavier. Her hands are still pushed against my chest, which is rising and falling rapidly. The look on her face lets me feel those tiny hands on me even stronger, while adrenaline is flushing my body.There's no denying what I see in her eyes is lust, and my body has already reacted with a twitching dick in my pants. Fuck! My gaze falls to her rapidly rising and falling chest.The dress she is wearing today, has a slight rectangular cleavage with a tiny V in the middle. It shows the top line of her chest, and even only seeing this top line is sexy as hell. Her hot breath is tingling on my skin, while my face is still only inches away from hers.Her phone ringing with my dad's name on the display makes me break away. "Don't dare park there again tomorrow." I demand before rushing out of her office.Slamming the door shut to my own office, I pace through the room for a couple of minutes, images of me pressing her against the desk, flash through my mind. Damn that has never happend to me and I badly need to get a grip on it. This is not happening.Besides I know nothing about her, she might have a boyfriend. By the looks of her, it's nearly impossible she doesn't have one. If it wasn't for her impressive work it would be best to fire her right away. But I know she is what I need for this company. Damn!Ok, what I can do is at least put a bit of distance between the two of us. This week my schedule is full of meetings anyway. I could simply send her mails, tell her what needs to be done and stay as far away from her as possible. This way we can't piss each other off either.My next video conference starts in about twenty minutes, I have everything prepared on my table, so I decide to send her a quick formal mail.Dear Ms Summers, as my week will be very busy I will get Gina to provide you with all the material you need to work on this week. I will send you short informations about what I have in mind to the subjects. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a mail and I will try to reply as soon as possible. I expect feedbacks per mail by the latest at the end of your working day.Dean ArlingtonHer reply comes within secondsDear Mr Arlington, will be done.Kiara SummersWill be done she writes. That easy without any protest? And I can't deny the short answer disappoints me a little. Somehow, I had expected something feisty to come back.The day croaches by, as the different kinds of meetings seem to drag along. In some we had to discuss some issues about productions, in others I was talking about possible new product lines which weren't impressing me much though. Between the meetings I would work through my mails and be a bit disappointed when I didn't see any from Kiara.She better be working. Just because she isn't sitting right next to me and knows I'm distracted, doesn't mean she doesn't have to work.At 7pm, I finally recieve a mail from her, just before I was about to walk across.Dear Mr Arlington, I have worked through three of the campaigns you asked me to. You'll find all the layouts and details attached. Please let me know how to proceed.Kiara SummersIs she kidding me? She did three today? They sure must be trash if she has worked through them so fast. Before looking at them, I quickly reply, so she can leave for today. At the moment it might be a bad idea only the two of us left here in the building, there will only be conflicts.Thank you, Miss Summers, I will look through them and let you know by tomorrow.Dean ArlingtonI wait for a few minutes to see if she will reply, but she doesn't. What was I expecting? Something like a goodbye, Mr. Arlington? Ridiculous, I didn't even write goodbye in the first place. No one says goodbye in the evening to me anyway, besides Gina sometimes. Why should this be different? Our heated moment only resulted out of anger anyway, and as I don't intend to repeat it, there's no reason to say goodbye.Instead, I open the files she sent me, page by page, I am more and more stunned about the talent of this girl. Where I expected trash by the amount she managed to work through, it's so detailed and perfect, I already take my time to pick out what I want and send it to her in reply. There isn't even a single thing I want changed about it, which is new to me as I am not easy to please.It's gone 10pm when I finally reach home. No gym for me today, but I do decide to take a swim in my pool. Seeing as I am sat at the desk most of the time I need the work out in the little time I do have left. I might just hit the gym in the early morning instead.******This feisty little bitch, she's really asking for it. No matter what I say, that fucking Mustang is standing in my parking lot. This time I even see a sign she has put on to her back window, stating:STILL NO SIGN UPFor some reason I can't help but laugh about this today. Instead of storming into her office like I did yesterday, I head straight towards mine, not risking anything. After a short talk with Gina and asking Trish to bring me some coffee, I check my mails and a small smirk appears on my face with the mail just coming in.Dear Mr Arlington, no storming my office today for parking incorrect? You seem to be learning.Kiara SummersMy hands run through my hair and before I know what I am doing my fingers are typing.Don't push it girl. You are really asking for it, aren't you?Mr ArlingtonWhile Trish brings in the coffee, I don't even look up. Instead, I keep staring at my monitor, waiting for her reply."Is there anything else I can do for you, Dean?" Trish asks, and I know what she's aiming at."No, Trish, that's it. You can go to pick up the phones or whatever you do all day. "I wave her off and open the new mail instead.Oh, I'm in trouble now, aren't I? You even signed with Mr, instead of your first name. But trouble is my first name, so you aren't intimidating me with that.Ms SummersInstead of getting down to work as I should, I decide to reply again.Ms Summers, I knew you were trouble from the first moment. And at the moment, I feel like reminding you who's the boss. You better get down to your work now. Otherwise, I will really need to storm into your office.Mr ArlingtonFor a moment, I wish for one of her feisty replies to make me storm the office.Yes Sir, as you please.Your obeying Ms SummersFuck that mail has my jaw dropped and my pants buldging. I have never done or thought of this, but right now I feel like going across to her office, make her repeat those words before I shove my dick down her throat to shut her up for once. I'd take a fistful of her ponytail and remind her who's the boss, while I thrust hard into that dirty little mouth of hers.Fuck I better get a grip on my thoughts, before I ask her to join me to an important meeting on the weekend.Kiara's POV:Staring at my monitor, I can't help but smirk. Yes, Sir.... Your obeying Ms Summers. I don't know what the hell has gotten into me, but I can feel a slight heat rising from my body.For a moment, a part of me did hope he was going to barge into this office again today. Although it's probably for the best he didn't, this is my god damn work, and I am sure not one of these girls to jump her boss's neck. I work damn hard to achieve what I want. Being the best on whatever I do is what drives me. The second best isn't good enough for me. This is my only way out of the shit hole of my life.Besides, I was kinda taught to be the best. Anything else wasn't worth anything. Not in my world.This Trish might not care about her reputation, but I do. Gosh, it's only my third day here, and I've seen her with three different guys, and it was very obvious what they were up to. Right now I can even hear her fucking around with the guy in the office next to me, causing me to cringe at the
Kiara's POV:"I thought you wrote you are obeying me." The words leave his lips in a very deep, huskily, and hot voice.Damn I knew it was a dumb idea to write that. Instead of letting him know I already regret writing those words in the first place, I bob my head up in a cocky manner and retort. "That only obliges to my work, to nothing else. And I don't see what my eating has to do with my work.""Dammit, you drive me fucking insane. Why can't you simply do what I want you to do?""Because...," my words get stuck in my throat as Dean moves closer, breathing heavier and heavier. I'm caught between him and the wall, which is even intenser than the desk yesterday."Because?" He questions in a slightly husky voice.All the words in my mind have disappeared into nothing. He moves even closer, his head dips down lower and his mouth right next to my ear. I can hear and feel his heavy breathing, sending sweet sensations through my body. After a few seconds, he whispers in my ear? "I'm still
Dean's POV: Entering the park deck, I see my parking lot free for a change. For a second, I feel a little triumphant to have beaten her to be here first until I see her Mustang parking in a different parking lot a few feet further away.That's all I wanted all week. She had me going insane with annoying the shit out of me because of a damn parking lot. So why do I feel disappointed about this right now? Is she finally listening and realizing who the boss is? What frightens me a little is the thought it might have to do with last night. Did I push her too much? This wouldn't be my normal behaviour, but with her, everything is different. She pushes me so much, and the more she fights against me, the more I want to make her do what I want.I've always been a control freak for sure, and things have to be done my way. And until now, there has never been an issue with it. People would do what I tell them and expect them to do. Kiara doesn't, not one single time. Admitted, yes, when it com
Dean's POV:Both of us let out a heavy breath once stepping off the elevator on the ground floor.We walk in awkward silence to the restaurant, which is only five minutes away, but five minutes can stretch awfully long if things feel so awkward. Reaching the restaurant, I don't need to mention my name. We are being directly guided to the booked table."How's your father, Dean?" Mrs Russo inquiries with a soft smile while handing us the menu."He's fine, busy as always," although I don't smile sincerely very often, I give her one of those smiles back. We've been coming here for years. She basicly knows our whole family story and has always been ever so kind. She's one of the few people I have never bossed around.As Kiara eyes me with a questioning look on her face, I introduce them quickly. "Mrs Russo, this is my new creative director, Ms Summers. Ms Summers, this is Mrs Russo, an old family friend.""Pleased to meet you, Mrs Russo. Nice restaurant you have here," Kiara chimes while l
Kiara's POV:For once, I'm not cursing when the alarm clock sets off. For a matter of fact, I was so excited I hardly slept in the first place. Even if it got damn late last night. At least I earned quite a bit of cash, which might come handy in Dubai.Damn I have hardly ever left London, despite the country, and now I will be flying to Dubai. Luckily, I had a passport made last year, as I originally had planned to work abroad. Now I have this amazing opportunity, which I still can't quite believe.I've been tossing and turning wide awake in bed since 4am. Meaning, my phone is safe for one more day. Jumping underneath the shower, I wonder what the showers will be like in the place we will be staying. No matter what, it can't be any worse than here.Everything said at the lunch break yesterday, still seems like a dream to me, and I'm waiting to wake up out of it any second. One thing I can't get off my mind was the look on Dean's face at the beginning, like total remorse. Did he honest
Kiara's POV:"Well, it's not like I would mind joining it, but until now, there hasn't really been the opportunity." His words make me flush bright red like a tomatoe. "You shouldn't believe everything the tabloids write. As soon as I am seen with some female, they make a fling out of it. To be precise, you are only the second woman to be flying with me. So no mile high club," he chuckles."So, it's only for business flights?""Well mostly, but sometimes I do use it privately, it's only that I don't really have much free time, you know."Once seated, I can't quite figure out how to put the belt on. You'd think driving a sports car like mine would give you practice, well somehow this doesn't apply to me. Or I'm simply too excited. Dean loosens his seatbelt again and walks around the table, which is between us and comes over to me."May I?" He points to the belt, which is already getting tangled. Defeated, I shrug and let go of the seatbelt. Dean sits down next to me and reaches for it.
Dean's POV:Writing the small card for Kiara, I hope she isn't going to hate me. As her boss, I probably shouldn't be sending her dresses as a gift. At least I have the excuse of putting it down as a thank you for her amazing work. It didn't take me long to find the right dress. As soon as I entered the boutique and saw it drapped on one of these mannequins, I knew this was it. There are another two dresses I chose for tomorrow, which will be sent directly to her room while we are out for dinner. Perhaps that will give her some time to relax after the first surprise.Knowing her, she is going to pop as soon as she sees it, although she really deserves it. And after all, I was the one to take her here. The least I can do is dress her right for a place like this. There is no need for her to waste money on it.As soon as I'm back in the hotel, I hurry to get myself ready, while someone else brings her the box with the dress for tonight. Although it's a business trip and I should see thi
Dean's POV:Kiara snorts, shakes her head, and bursts out laughing before I can see the pain take over her face. "Nope, not anymore. Caught that cheating piece of shit, fucking my beeeessst friend on my kitchen table five weeks ago. We were together for two years and eight weeks ago he asked me to marry him. Yeah, that fucking asshole, was probably having it off with Nora, that little bitch, already at that time." Chugging down the whole glass of her sex on the beach in one go, I can tell how much this is nagging at her and I push my glass of whiskey on the rocks over to her. A small pained smile appears on her face before she chugs the glass down in one go too."More?" I ask carefully, as I don't know how much she can take and we already have had quite a bit."Yeah, one more should be fine." With that, I order another two glasses.Moving a little closer to her, as I see she is fighting tears, I whisper: "He doesn't deserve you. And honestly, he must be very dumb to let an amazing, s
****12 years later****Dean's POV:"Dad, why the fuck am I not allowed to go to the party?" Phoebe whines and there's no doubt where she's got her language from."Because I said no. You're seventeen. You're not going to some party where the guys are just waiting to get you drunk and do things with you." "Damn dad, I'm seventeen and a half, so in half a year, I'm legal and can do whatever I want. Besides, you know exactly I can't do shit. You'll know exactly what I'm doing anyway.""Yes, the last time I had to see you kiss some guy as newest tweet from some stupid tabloid. And I'm sure not having that again." For years, I hated the media showing so much interest in our kids. Now, for the first time, I can see the perks of it as our kids can't do shit without us not knowing. Or them at least being afraid of getting caught."Damn, it was just a kiss. I didn't fuck him or anything. He didn't even touch me.""If he had, he'd be a dead man by now." I grit out, not even wanting to think abou
**** 3,5 years later****Kiara's POV:From my shaded place at the pool, I take a glance over to my husband. The way his muscles flex along his broad worked out shoulders is ever so delicious. God, how can someone look so incredibly good and mouth-watering? He turns around, and his toned chest and abs are right on view for me. The way his wet shorts cling to his body showing every well-built leg muscle, too. It definitely has my heat rising.His hands run through his wet hair while he clears his throat once he's standing in front of me. Damn, the way the water is drizzling down every perfect shaped and toned muscle on his body. And those wet, full, soft lips which are now twisting into a crooked smirk."Honey, if you keep on looking at me like that, I'll never finish preparing for Wyatt's birthday party in two hours. Jeez, just the look on your face turns me on like hell.""It's not my fault you had to jump into the pool and look so incredible delicious," I defend myself."Sorry, I nee
Kiara's POV: ****nearly 1,5 years later****My dreamy eyes linger on my two toddlers in front of the Christmas tree, while Dean is trying to convince them to play with the toys he so proudly chose but now aren't of interest to any of them. Instead, they are having hell of a fun playing with the wrapping paper. "Why the hell did I spend so much money on toys if all they want is some stupid wrapping paper?" Dean complains while walking up to me. Dean is such an adorable dad, and my heart swells every time I see my three loved ones playing together."I told you they don't need all of this fancy stuff and the amount of toys you bought. You went a little crazy again, didn't you?""I just want them to be happy and have everything they wish for." The expression on his face is a little sulky while looking across the floor to Phoebe and Leo. Phoebe, in the meantime, finds it awfully funny to put the sticky ends on to her brother and hiding his face under the wrapping paper."They're not even
Hi dear reader, if you have come this far, I want to thank you from the bottom of my soul for reading and supporting me with this book. As a new writer, it means the world to me.I do know that I have put you on hell of a roller coaster with this book. Due to my brain tumour, I also know there are still errors in grammar and spelling. But I hope you can look past them and enjoy the story.If you've enjoyed the book (including hating it at times), it would mean an awful lot to me if you could vote for this book. And of course, every gem you give is like a gem to my heart.At this point, it's only the epilogue left to come. As it's turned out freaky long (nearly 6,5k words), it will be divided into 3 parts.THANK YOU!!!!I hope to see you on future books perhaps, too.Lots of love Jackie♥️♥️
Kiara's POV:Once I've made sure to show my appearance nearly everywhere once, I take my time to fully take in everything here. This place is a huge mansion, and the garden is amazing. I've never seen anything like it. It's like a huge sculptured park with all kinds of flowers everywhere. The air is filled with a sweet scent of the roses and lavender. I love lavender. There are secret hideouts, fountains, a lake, and huge old trees, giving this place a romantic look as if it were from another century. Nancy obviously went all out on the decorations, too. I can see fairy lights everywhere, which are probably meant to light up the garden in the evening. Flower bouquets are spread throughout the area, torches put up for the night, huge ribbons, and other kinds of decorations wherever you look. We're so lucky with the summer weather, making it perfect. It's warm, but the many old trees give us enough space for people being able to stand and sit in the shade.This looks like a fairy tale
Kiara's POV:,"You're so god damn beautiful, Mrs Arlington." Dean whispers full of awe against my lips before drawing fully back. I love the way that sounds.People around us start laughing and cheering even more at Dean's eager kiss. Neither of us wanted to break out of it. He noticed right away when my legs had reached their limit, and now I'm in his amazing, strong arms. Arms, which make me feel treasured and protected in every single way.Sean was the only one who knew about me wanting to walk down the aisle. He rushes down the other end, where I have left my wheelchair behind, and he gets it for me. Tyler uses his chance to squeeze us first, and I literally mean squeeze because what he's doing right now isn't hugging. He's squeezing the living shit out of us."Air, Tyler. I need air." I manage to get out totally breathless while being squashed between Dean and him. "We're not a hamburger, and I'm not the piece of meat in between.""Oh, beautiful, but I wouldn't mind you being the
Dean's POV:And then she appears with Sean at her side. My heart stops for a second, as I don't just see my absolutely stunning bride, but also see how she gets up out of her wheelchair. Oh my god, she starts walking towards me, secured by Sean's arm. Step by step, she comes closer.Everyone around us is gasping at her sight."Holy fuck!" Tyler exclaims.I feel the urge to rush up to her and carry her the rest of the way here. I can clearly see she is struggling, but also how determined she is to walk her way up to me. She must have trained more than I knew. I had no idea she was able to walk again at all. Tears start rolling down my cheeks at my incredible bride.She's so strong, and seeing her walk totally knocks the breath out of me. Besides, she is absolutely stunning. Beautiful, sexy all in all beyond imagination. The dress she is wearing is beautiful too. As soon as she's in front of me, I can't hold back and wrap my arms around her and cry. I don't care what the people think,
Dean's POV:The last couple of hours have been torture. No scratch that ever since she left the house yesterday at lunchtime has been a torture. Damn, it's only been a little over 24 hours, and I'm missing her like hell. At least I had Phoebe and Leo during the daytime yesterday, while Gale took Kiara for a spa. But since Gale picked up my babies last night, I missed them all so incredible much.Tyler and Chris wanted to go for a strip club. No way was I up for that. I don't want to see any other woman naked in front of me, other than my own girl. To my surprise, Tyler even wasn't too pushy about it and quickly understood. Of course, he had a remark about it."Honestly, man, if I had Kiara at home, I wouldn't want to see any other chick naked again either. She's the jackpot, and no sexy stripper could keep up to that. Fuck, I'd never let her out of the bed again and fuck her until she couldn't walk and keep it going." Yes, he did get a smack for that from me.The thing with Tyler is,
Kiara's POV:Only minutes later, I hear the knock at the door Nancy and Gale have arrived. Apparently, Nancy has already been to our location where we're marrying, making sure everything is being prepared as it should be. She scares the shit out of me when she yells through the phone because the wedding cake hasn't been delivered yet. And there was me thinking I could be a badass and impatient.Gale gives me a huge smile and hug. "How are you feeling, darling?""Excited and nervous," I lower my voice for only her to hear. "And a little scarred of Nancy, to be honest." Gale looks across to Nancy, who is still yelling orders through the phone and laughs."You should have heard her ramble away beforehand. She was beyond pissed because the table clothes apparently now are an off-white instead of an eggshell white like she had ordered. Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference, but for her, it was a huge disaster, and she's saying the whole colour scheme has been messed up through it. She's
