Ethan surfed his computer feeling restless, he had finally found Iris yet he didn't feel as satisfied as he expected to.He felt no spark. Instead, he found himself thinking about someone else. “She is your son’s girlfriend,” he reminded himself, as he stared at Emily's table.There was something about her that made his heart flutter, from the moment he set his eyes on her. he wished she was Iris. A Knock on the door interrupted his train of thought, he raised his head to find Irene by the door with a wide grin.“Are we still on for dinner?” she asked.He looked at the time. he had spent the whole day thinking about Emily, “sure” he replied, grabbing his coat and getting to his feet. “Instead of Dinner” Irene said walking towards him.“I was thinking we could go to your place” she suggested closing the gap between them and leaning in for a kiss.“No” Ethan replied bluntly, he was starting to get irritated by Irene. Irene was taken aback by his bluntness her eyes widened in shock. “
I raised my head to find Ethan smiling at me, " What are you doing Emily!" He smirked standing by the door. My heart sank."Ah!" I screamed with eyes wide open, searching for a way to cover myself, I put my hands over my body scanning the room for anything to cover myself up but there were none. "Close your eyes, look away" I yelled at Ethan who was gawking at me, "Sorry" he chuckled turning his face and allowing me the chance to run upstairs. As soon as I got to my room, I slammed the door burying my face in my hands.How embarrassing. I wished the floor could swallow me. I am just going to sit here until he goes back to New York. "Babe" I heard a gentle knock on the door, I moved away from the door, burying myself in piles of clothing. "It's me babe, can I come in" Jake asked, Ethan must have told him what happened. You fool I berated myself. who sits naked in front of a door. I felt like a fool."I am coming in" Jake said, pushing the door open, foolish me forgot to lock the d
What. My heart fluttered. Tongue-tied, I blushed like a fool, "I have this desire to make you extremely happy Emily, not because you and my son are dating, but because you deserve all the happiness you could get".As Ethan declared, my mind was in a state of turmoil, what was he saying? Is this a love confession? "I am having dinner, with some clients at The Ballroom, I think you should get a new dress," He said changing the topic, like he didn't just say the sweetest thing I had ever heard. I nodded not saying another word, I wished I had courage, I would have persisted. I sat quietly smiling to myself, 'Don't get the get the wrong idea, he is just being nice' I warned myself.I bit my lower lip trying to contain my thoughts as we got to "Pink" a boutique in the centre of town. "Here you go," Ethan said, handing me his palladium card as he settled into his seat. I paused staring at the card, I had never seen one up close before. "Get whatever you want" He said pushing the card
"If she is your new Assistant, what happened to Alfred" Mr. Coltmen asked staring at me with a warm smile, he looked exactly like his brother. "Emily is just temporary, while I am at Castle Tech" Ethan explained. "That God-forsaken company, I wonder why you bought it" Mr Coltmen frowned"What I wonder, is how you got Maxwell to sell his darling company to you" Pyria laughed I guess it was an inside joke.I sat quietly watching them discuss while enjoying the feel of Ethan's hands in mine. 'he is just being nice' I kept having to remind myself as I found my mind wandering. "I offered him something better" Ethan said caressing my hands under the table, it felt euphoric, and my heart fluttered at each stroke. I glanced at Ethan whose eyes were focused on Mr Coltmen, his touch was so delicate, it could make a person fall in love. "Don't tell me! You gave him Alpha, didn't you" Pyria said, I had no idea what they were talking about and they sounded more like friends than clients. "Ye
Without saying another word to me, Ethan walked downstairs and out of The ballroom, I followed quietly as he led us to the limo waiting outside. 'what about the dinner? I wondered following him into the limo. As we got in, he picked up his phone focusing on the screen, I sat quietly by the side, stealing glances and feeling ashamed of my behaviour. "I am sorry" I finally mastered the courage to say, I was the reason he had to scold his son and the reason he couldn't continue dinner with his friends. He raised his eyes above his phone with a smirk on his face, "Did you really hit him" he asked.My shoulders slumped as I nodded shamefully. a burst of laughter rumbled from deep within him as his face curved into a smile. "I guess he deserved it" he chuckled, putting a part of my mind at ease, yes he did. "huh" I exclaimed, this wasn't the response I was expecting."I didn't think you had it in you though," Ethan continued opening the mini fridge and pulling out a bottle of whiskey
Is this what you want?" Ethan said, placing a gentle kiss on my neck as I let out a light moan, "And here," he said moving lower to my neckline, his beard tickling me as each kiss left a desire for more."Lower," I whispered out of breath as he gently placed me on the leather seats of the limo."Are you sure," his eyes darkened with desire as I nodded desperately. He took me into a kiss and his hands wrapped tightly around my waist. "This is wrong!' Jake yelled out of nowhere startling me and waking me up from my slumber. "It was a dream" I sighed, sitting up and taking a deep breath as sweat beads began to fall from my face. Why was I dreaming about Ethan I wondered running my hands through my hair, I didn't need to remind myself how inappropriate it was to be dreaming about my ex-boyfriend's father.My mind drifted to the idea of making love to Ethan. 'Stop it!" I scolded myself shaking off the naughty thought, I raised my head to realize I was in a strange room.The memory of l
"Hello Mama" I picked up my phone ringing by my bedside, as I rubbed my eyes."Did I wake you?" my mother's soft voice asked. "No" I shook my head like she could see me, "I am up" I said adjusting my balance on the bed."I am sorry I left without saying goodbye, I followed my boss back to New York" I explained, feeling terrible for not telling her goodbye before leaving Asheville. "Your boss? Is he the reason you and Jake had a fight" my mother asked randomly,"What?" I exclaimed, wondering where she got the idea that Jake and I fought."Jake has been worrying sick about you, he said you two had a fight and you are not picking up his calls," my mother said and I rolled my eyes, that manipulative bastard was at it again. "My boss is his Father, and he has nothing to do with my fight with Jake, Jake knows why we fought," I said dismissing the conversation, even though I was certain Jake and I were never getting back together, I still wanted to preserve his image in my mother's eyes.
The impact of my punch landed squarely on Irene's jaw, sending her staggering backwards in shock. The room fell silent as everyone turned to me.My heart pounded in my chest and my hand still trembling from the force of my blow.I was never one to resort to violence, but Irene crossed a line.Irene recoiled, her eyes wide with disbelief. She placed her hands on her cheeks staring at me in shock, I instantly felt terrible, I surveyed the room filled with eyes pointing in my direction and it made it worse. "Ms. Sanders" Jennifer yelled getting to her feet, "We do not tolerate violence in this office" Jennifer said with crinkles around her eyes. My breath shortened, as my gaze circled back to Irene who just stood in shock. "HR would have to hear about this" Irene said out of breath as tears threatened to fall from her eyes. I bit my lip trying so hard not to smile, she deserved it. "No, I would handle this" Jennifer offered staring at me and beckoning for me to follow her, I follow
