Tamara's POV Just then Jesse received a call for the company and he had to attend to it. I left the office and headed home, my mind still buzzing with the events of the day. The secrecy, the stolen glances, the whispered words it was exhilarating. By the time I got to my apartment, I was ready to unwind and focus on my schoolwork. I changed into something comfortable and settled at my desk, trying to concentrate on the notes from today's lecture. Just as I was getting into the flow, there was a knock on the door. I glanced at the clock, puzzled. It was late, and I wasn’t expecting anyone. Still wondering, I got up and walked to the door, peeking through the peephole. My heart skipped a beat when I saw who it was. Christina. Jesse’s ex-girlfriend. I hesitated for a moment, my mind racing. What was she doing here? How did she even know where I lived? Taking a deep breath, I opened the door. For a moment, we just stared at each other. Christina looked as stunning as ever, her blon
Jesse's POV I couldn’t take it anymore. It was late at night, and I hadn’t heard from Tamara. My calls had gone unanswered, my texts unread. I felt a gnawing worry in the pit of my stomach that only grew as the hours ticked by. What if she was sick again? What if something had happened to her? Without thinking, I grabbed my keys and headed out the door, driving in a rush to her place. The streets were eerily quiet, the city seemingly holding its breath. I barely noticed the passing buildings and traffic lights; my mind was solely focused on Tamara. When I finally pulled up to her apartment, I parked haphazardly and ran to her door, knocking with urgency. The wait felt eternal, but finally, the door creaked open, and there she was. “Why have you been ignoring my calls all day? I was so damn sick with worry!” I burst out, my voice louder than I intended. Tamara stood there, her expression calm and unreadable. “I’m fine,” she said slowly. “Are you sick?” I asked, scanning her
Jesse's POVI woke up to the soft, rhythmic breathing of Tamara, still fast asleep beside me. Her hair was spread out over the pillow, a few strands gently brushing her closed eyes. I watched her for a moment, savoring the peace and gentleness that seemed to envelop her in sleep. She looked so beautiful, it pained me to leave her. I needed to attend something at the office before heading to the university for my lecture.Leaning in, I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. “Sleep tight, my latest badass,” I whispered, I just couldn't get over last night's moves, how did she learn about that? I really have no idea but I love this side of her, even though she was still lost in her dreams. I couldn't help but smile as I pulled away. “I'll be back soon.”Quietly, I slipped out of bed and got dressed, trying not to make any noise that might wake her. After a quick glance back at her peaceful form, I headed out, the memory of her soft, warm skin lingering on my lips.The drive to the office
Tamara's POV I woke up to the soft light streaming through my curtains, casting a warm glow across my room. Stretching out, I reached for Jesse, but my fingers touched cool, empty sheets instead. He was already gone. A pang of disappointment hit me, but I couldn’t help but smile as memories of last night flooded back. It was the best night yet, filled with passion and connection. I longed for him to be here with me again. Christina’s words echoed in my mind: “you can never have Jesse you lowlife” it almost got to me again but I shrugged it off. I was going to enjoy every moment I had with Jesse.Even if tomorrow he became someone else’s man, today he was mine. I got out of bed and went through my morning routine, my mind drifting back to Jesse’s touch, his whispered words, and the way he made me feel. My heart raced at the thought of seeing him again. I picked out my favorite dress, something that would make him notice me even more.I got to school, as classes began my mind won't st
Jesse's POVI stood there still in shock, my mind replaying the moment Kevon caught Tamara and me together. If this goes out to the school authority it would be a huge problem for Tamara. I had to handle this to keep Kevon from saying a word. I wonder where Tamara had gone. I couldn't stop her. I wonder how she might be feeling now. Everything all felt like a bad dream. But there was no time to dwell on it. I had to go and lecture my students, and even though my mind was clouded with what might happen next after we have been caught by . My mind was a mess, but I had to push through.I walked into the class as I was teaching the lecture felt like an eternity. I was doing my best to cover up the topic I was teaching, but I couldn’t focus, my thoughts constantly drifting back to Tamara and the stunned look on her face. She must be really scared. As soon as the lecture ended, my phone buzzed with a call from Trevor.“Jesse, you need to be in the boardroom now,” Trevor said, his voice ten
Tamara's POV I stood there, frozen in place as I watched Kevon's image disappear in the distance. My heart was beating so hard in my chest, my whole mind was running weird. How on earth did I end up having sex with Jesse in his office? What just happened? How had everything spiraled out of control so quickly? The embarrassment, the shock, it all clung to me like a second skin. I really don't want my parents finding out about this. It was only going to break them. I signed in frustration, running my hands through my hair. I knew I had to pull myself together, but it felt like the floor had been yanked out from under me. Just as I gathered the strength to move, I heard footsteps approaching. I looked up to see Isabella coming toward me, with her usual bright smile, though we had had a disagreement but I love the fact we were cool again. “Tamara! There you are,” she called out, her voice cutting through the fog of my thoughts. I tried to force a smile, but it felt weak and so
Tamara's POVI woke up with my head throbbing as I slowly came back to reality, the sharp pain pulling me from the hazy edges of consciousness. My eyelids fluttered open, and I blinked several times, trying to make sense of my surroundings. But all I could see was darkness. Panic began to well up inside me as I realized I couldn’t move. My hands and legs were tied, the rough rope digging into my skin. Where was I? How had I ended up here?The last thing I remembered was Christina walking into Isabella house with Some huge men following behind her a white handkerchief passed over my nose. I tried struggling but that was all I could remember. What was she doing there? And then nothing. My memory was blank after that, just a void of darkness and confusion.I struggled against my restraints, but it was no use. The ropes were too tight, biting into my wrists and ankles with every movement. I tried to listen, to hear anything that might give me a clue about where I was, but the only sound w
Jesse's POVI stared at my phone, my thumb hovering over Tamara’s name on the screen as the call failed to connect again. The screen blinked, notifying me that her phone was switched off. A heavy feeling settled in my chest, gnawing at me with each passing minute. I tossed the phone onto the passenger seat, frustration mounting as my thoughts spiraled. This wasn’t like her. “This doesn’t make any sense,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair in frustration. Tamara wasn’t the type to ignore my calls, especially not after the way we left things. Something was wrong. I could feel it.I immediately turned the car and headed towards her apartment my patience were gradually running out I couldn't help the speed I was driving is she sick again I thought inwardly on getting to her house “I need to check on her,” I decided, unbuckling my seatbelt and stepping out of the car. I took a deep breath trying to calm the anxiety bubbling up inside me. I immediately took the elevator. I reache
