KatarinaThree days had passed without any signs of Jerome. It was the first time he had stayed away for this long and I wasn't sure if I should be worried or happy. It was three days of no harassment from him, I didn't have to work extra because of him, but at the same time everything felt slow without his presence. It felt as though life was boring when he was gone, and looking back now, I had come to realize he was the only person who had made things a bit interesting in my life ever since I decided to run away from my wedding."Are you missing him?" Ella teased after she noticed I had been staring at the table Jerome used to sit for too long."Why would I miss him? He's nothing but trouble." I answered quickly before walking away to attend to a customer. I knew Ella would tease me if I continued to hang around, and I really wasn't in the mood to be mocked at the moment. I took the customer's orders, and as soon as I returned, Ella picked up from where she stopped. "I really tho
KylanWork kept piling in one after the other. No matter how hard I tried to finish up, something else always popped up from the sidelines, and this had continued for a week straight now. I haven't seen Lisa in seven days, and I genuinely had no idea how she was doing. I had intended to send someone to spy on her, but had decided against that. I wanted to be the only one who does the spying, and clearly didn't want anybody else to take my job.After finishing up with the work on my system, I strolled out of my office and headed towards the conference where presumably the others were already settled. It was definitely going to be one of the most awkward meetings I was going to attend. Though the company in attendance was in a partnership with ours now, my brother, Christopher, was going to be in the meeting. His presence made no sense, it wasn't as if he was the owner of the company, and most importantly it was for staff only. But Christopher couldn't care less about that.Ignoring a
Katarina I thought I was hallucinating until I bumped into him. But even then, I still refused to believe that he was the one standing in front of me. It was only after he smiled at me did I finally accept the reality that Jerome was really the man standing before me.It had been eight days since I last saw him, and those eight days had not been very nice for me. I had missed his presence, and was at the verge of driving myself insane with the thoughts of him."Did you suddenly lose your vision while I was gone, or did you do that intentionally to spite me for leaving for so long?" His deep baritone voice washed through my body like a gentle breeze. My heartbeat escalated, and for a straight minute I continued to stare at him in utter disbelief."Y.. you're here?" I stammered in shock just before Ella's cold hand rested on my shoulder, jolting me back to reality. "You've made a mess, Lisa." Ella chastised me as she bent low to pick up the pieces of the shattered glass. "I'm so sorry
KatarinaJerome stared at me with a hint of shock in his eyes. He hadn't expected such a request from me, and I had no idea I could make such a request either. "Are you sure?" He asked for clarification purposes, and I nodded shyly. Before I had the chance to breathe, Jerome's lips crashed into mine.Even though I had expected it, the kiss had been unexpected. There was eagerness in his eyes, but it was gentle, as if he was testing the waters. I closed my eyes, savoring the warmth and the softness of his lips against mine. Time seemed to pause, and the feel of his tongue in my mouth had my body quaking in manners I could not explain. After what felt like both an eternity and just a fleeting second, he pulled away, his eyes searching mine for any sign of regret or hesitation. I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks as I struggled to find the right words."I..I...thank you." I stammered before turning away in embarrassment. I hadn't expected it to be this good, I could still feel th
KylanI returned to the hotel I was staying in thirty minutes after departing from Lisa's place. My plan was moving smoothly, and things were going a lot better than I had planned. I could tell she had missed me, she was falling slowly, and that was exactly what I wanted. I would crush her once I was certain that her heart belonged to me. But for now, it was crucial for me to take things slowly, the last thing I wanted was for her to grow suspicious of me and decide to pull away. "Room service is here." A feminine voice announced, and I quickly unlocked the door to let her in. "So how are we going to do this—""Don't talk, just take off your clothes and wait for me." I interjected before locking the door behind me. Playing with Lisa had gotten me more excited than I had anticipated. I needed to relieve myself quickly, else I would end up with blue balls the next day. The lady obeyed without words. Her body was perfect, silky smooth skin with moderately sized breasts. However, I f
Kylan My night was brief, and morning came faster than I had anticipated. I didn't have much to do besides eating breakfast and staring at the television before me. I had left Cole and my assistant in charge before I left, and I was confident that the two of them could handle things in my absence.After spending a whole hour watching a TV series, I finally got bored enough to leave the hotel. I usually didn't like bothering Lisa during the early hours of the day, but it felt as though I would lose myself if I didn't speak to someone I knew. And unfortunately, she was the only person I was familiar with around these parts. I knew she worked at a breakfast cafe during the early hours of the day, and I wasted no time in showing up to the said cafe. I needed it to feel like a coincidence, so I had skipped having breakfast at the hotel. With a held up head, I walked into the restaurant and immediately caught a glimpse of Lisa while she was serving another customer. She had a bright smil
KatarinaThe last thing I expected was for Jerome to sit and wait for me while I worked. We had taken an hour to tour around the city, and had spent the remaining time in a coffee shop, chatting and learning more about each other. As I had expected, Jerome was a businessman, a successful man at that. I had wanted to ask him if he knew about Kylan Anderson, but decided against it. There was no need to bring up my past now, I was doing my best to run away from it, so bringing it up would do me more harm than good."Are you sure you can wait, my shift doesn't end until four." I reminded Jerome for the umpteenth time, but he didn't seem like he was going to change his mind anytime soon. "I said not to worry, didn't I? I'm off work today, I really have nothing better to do other than this. So don't worry about me, just focus on doing your work, and I'll sit here and wait for you." He replied with a bright smile. It was easy for him to say, but concentrating on work while he was sitting
KylanLisa remained wrapped in my arms, however the moment was taken away when my phone began ringing. I wasn't expecting any calls tonight, but Cole always knew how to disturb me, especially during good moments. At first, I wanted to ignore him, but decided against it. His voice was tense, and every word he spoke was accompanied by a sense of urgency, one that I couldn't ignore. The office was supposed to be closed at this time. It was already a few hours to midnight, but from what Cole said so far, it seemed he was still at the office.From his description, it seemed like we had been robbed, but I really couldn't be sure. Cole hadn't mentioned anything yet, all he said was there were signs of breaking and entering, and Cole wouldn't be the type to joke about something this serious.Gently, I pulled away from our warm embrace, "I have to go," I said, regret lacing my words. "It's an emergency at the office.""What happened, what's going on?" Lisa asked, her eyes filled with concern
