Savagely, recklessly, he disposed of her blouse and tore away her bra. And he covered her hot, fevered flesh with his mouth and his hands, cupping her breasts, teasing and leaving her trembling in need. She could feel him everywhere, and the pleasure was exquisite. His fingers and his lips stroked and caressed her, they licked her, they flickered sparks over her shoulders, along the column over her throat, across the top of her breasts. She was restless, impatient, anxious and melting inside but Kingsley set the rhythm and wouldn't give in….not so fast.Finally, at the exact moment she thought she would shatter to pieces, his hands braced her hips and with one thrust, he slipped inside. Sleek, golden, liquid, he felt impossibly devastatingly good.She met each stroke, wanting more of him, taking all he had to give. Swifter, farther, higher, deeper.And together, they found their bliss. They touched the sky. ******************************That marked the be
Undoing the fancy iron belt and reaching for the zipper of his pants, Cordelia made for his briefs and grabbed his cock, massaging it sensually from top to bottom, back and forth.Alan let out a low groan, obviously enjoying the attention his now erect cock is getting. He grabbed a handful of Cordelia's hair, nudging her head towards him. With a sly smile, she opens her mouth and takes in the full length of his cock, licking and teasing with her tongue while squatting.Alan moaned and groaned, relishing the moment. After a while, he roughly pulls her up and flips her around so that she is backing him. He bends her over and pulls up her short skirt, ravaging her from behind while she whimpers and whines holding the floor railing before her for support.Alan soon reaches his peak and immediately ends their little moment of pleasure, not caring whether or not his partner is satisfied.“ You should clean up.” He said, more in a commanding tone than suggesting one.Disappointed as usual,
Luckily, only Kingsley and Hardy were present in the conference room. They both raised their eyebrows.Kingsley, wondering if Louisa is up to one of her deceitful trick again.Hardy, wondering why his boss and this woman he seems to loath, have an intimate personal photo together.Kingsley's expression becomes unreadable while Louisa trembles slightly at her mistake. She quickly apologizes and move on, more carefully.Despite the awkwardness, Louisa is able to focus on her pitch afterward, highlighting the key features of Mist,it's market potential and return in investment.Kingsley leaned back in his chair at the end of the pitch, steeping his fingers.“Well, not a bad one,” he said, his tone measured. “You can go ahead with your schedule while I review the financials once more. Hardy will be in touch with you.” He concluded, standing and walking out of the room in confident steps.“I'll see you out.” Hardy offered with a polite smile, extending his right hand towards the door, motio
At the close of work, Evelyn walks out to the parking lot in a light mood. Aside from the fiasco with Louisa, she had quite a pleasant day.Reaching her car, she opens her purse and reaches for the keys, humming a familiar tune. She remembers the way Louisa is overburdening herself in order to escape her own personal troubles and she stops humming immediately, feeling worried about her friend.“Life can be really exhausting,” She soliloquies, “but at least, the traffic is light this evening.” she concludes, smiling at her own little joke as she hits the road, on her way home.“Oh Louisa dear, what am I supposed to do with you?” She continues soliloquising as she cruise along the highway.Suddenly, an heavy jolt shook her vehicle, startling her. Her head swirls around to see a sleek, white, sports car, it's bumper dented, just an inch away from her rearview mirror.A young athletic man with his face laced with worry peers out from behind the wheel. His gaze meets Evelyn's and he raise
Louisa freezes by the door, momentarily paralyzed by what she is seeing right in front of her.Her eyes widen as she tries to process the situation. Swallowing hard, she collects herself and forces a thin smile after a few seconds.“Honey, how are you?” She starts moving to her son, hugging him nervously. “Fine mommy. But I was bored, Uncle has been busy.” Liam replies, hugging his mom but contouring his face in a manner that shows his displeasure with being by himself.“Am sorry about that honey. But I can see you have company now, isn't it?” Louisa teases Liam while looking in the direction of Kingsley and Hardy in a bid to acknowledge them.“Hello Mr Wills, what a surprise to see you here.” Louisa salutes Kingsley, who looks like someone who has been a heavy punch in the gut.It takes quite a bit of nudging by Hardy to make Kingsley close his slightly opened mouth and bring himself back to the sent.“Eh, ehm, yeah. It's a surprise to see you too,” Kingsley returns, still trying to
“CEO Alan is here sir. It's time for your meeting with him.” Hardy informs Kingsley. He is seated in his office sofa, in a reclining position trying to rest his aching head after the rigorous brainstorming he had put it through.“Let him in,” Kingsley replies, getting up and walking to sit in his executive chair behind the office table.“Mr Wills, how do you do? It's been a while.” CEO Alan greets, extending his hand for a handshake immediately he is ushered into the office by Hardy.“I am well, Mr. Alan; welcome,” Kingsley replies courteously, taking CEO Alan's hand.“This is my secretary, Cordelia.” Alan introduces Cordelia, who had been standing beside him and smiling politely all along.“You're both welcome, please sit.” “Thank you.” Alan and Cordelia chorus, taking the double seat in front of Kingsley's table.“Thank you for honoring my invitation the other night, and I am sorry the evening didn't go as planned,” Alan states slightly raising an eyebrow and starting the conversat
Evelyn slouches on her living room sofa, a bowl of popcorn and a glass of orange juice by her side while she sees her favorite weekend TV series.After a challenging week of running around with other team members, making sure the Mist project is on track, and then getting involved in a minor accident, a quiet evening alone seems like a good way to rejuvenate her energy before another crazy work week sets in.Her mind would occasionally wander, and she'd find herself imagining the tall, athletic body she'd seen the previous day.She wonders why he hasn't reached out to her. She had been tempted to call him like a thousand times but her ego wouldn't let her make the first move. “Oh boy,” she soliloquies, adjusting her position on the sofa and smiling to herself. “That guy knows how to put a good look together. Such a hottie!” She concludes, shaking her head vigorously as if that will make the image of John fall off her brain.At the end of the series, she heaves and decides to take a
“Hello Rachel, I need your help.” Cordelia speaks into her cell phone immediately her call is connected, her tone firm.“No pleasantries? This is unlike you Cordelia. Is all well? Rachel asks, curiosity etched in her tone.“I am in a tight spot, and I don't know what to do.” “What happened?” Cordelia stands, running her hand through her hair, roughly in frustration. “I told you about the new project we pitched to Wills Corporation for investment, didn't I?” “Yeah, you did. Did the investment fall through?” “Yeah, almost and it's my fault. Alan is out for me because of it. You know how he can get. I just need suggestions on how to go about the whole thing. I really can't think of anything to salvage the situation.” Cordelia explains to her friend and confidant.“Babe, you need to tell me what happened in order for me to help you, okay?” Rachel states, genuinely ready to help her friend.“I'll give you the whole gist when we meet. But the summary is Kingsley Wills decided to invest
John becomes more and more uneasy as he goes back and forth in his living room. His phone's call log, which shows innumerable outgoing calls and unanswered texts to Evelyn over the previous few days, reveals his growing despair. She doesn't reply to any of his messages, which is a startling concern given her custom of responding promptly. He had visited her home twice and knocked repeatedly, but each time there had been no answer. The fact that a neighbor had casually said that he had seen her leave early in the morning did little to calm him. Seeing no other recourse, he decides to go see her at her office. He needs answers, but it seemed invasive. After a few hours, John arrives at Palmer Tech building, bubbling with a hive of activity, with staff and guests mingling in its modern lobby area. John tries to hide his anxiety as he walks up to the receptionist. He declares, "I'm here to see Evelyn Mayers." The receptionist gives him a quick look. “Do you have an ap
Except for the little hum of activity coming from down the hall, Liam's waiting room is silent. With his arms crossed over his chest, he paces close to the window. Evelyn taps lightly on the armrest while sitting with her legs crossed. Fred leans against the wall, looking at the door and then at his phone. As they all wait for Louisa, tension pervades the air. A sense of relief fills the room as Louisa eventually enters, appearing worn out but neat. She brushes a hand through her hair and greets, "Morning," with a slight smile. "Mom!" Liam rushes over to her, his anxiety obvious. "What happened? Are you alright? We've been quite anxious.” "I’m fine, Liam," Louisa reassures him while putting a hand on his shoulder. She looks up at Evelyn and Fred saying, "I apologize for worrying you all. I was so worn out after leaving the hospital yesterday that I just dozed off and didn't wake up until this morning. I swear, nothing is wrong.” Evelyn looks at her for a ti
As Louisa enters her front door, the home feels colder than usual. The slight click of her heels on the wood floor is muffled by the weight of the pain in her chest. She throws her clutch on the couch and sinks down next to it, holding her face in her shaking hands. Sharp and unrelenting, Kingsley's words replays in her head. "You were nothing short of garbage!" "Queen of Deceit." Every word cut through her poise, exposing her vulnerability and rawness. Even though she had expected him to be hostile, the poison in his charges nonetheless, managed to pierce her more deeply than she had thought. She struggles to hold back her emotions, but before she could stop them, the dam bursts. She let out a sob, then another, and before she knows it, the stress of years was leaking out of her in fits of tears. Her thoughts strays to that fateful day that everything changed, the day Martha died, five years ago. She wishes Martha is here today, by her side to comfort her, tell her
Kingsley leans forward, his fingers drumming on the glass table before him, his eyes flickering with something incomprehensible. "Miss Emerson?” He repeats, more of a statement than a question, “send her in." He drops the call, a hint of relief evident on his face. It is true he has been feeling jittery since his visit to the hospital. He knows for a fact that she is hard hearted and stubborn. So, he wasn't sure she would be shaken by his threat and come find him, just because he said so. But the major cause of his anxiety is that he doesn't want to fight her. He had been hoping like hell that he wouldn't have to. Despite her faults, he knows she must have been through a lot, caring for a child who was born sick, alone. Hardy, still standing and awaiting his order raises his eyebrows, just enough to be noticeable but remains silent. He leaves swiftly at the gesture of Kingsley, giving him time to gather himself. Moments later, Louisa Emerson enters the office, her movemen
Cordelia's mouth clenches when she takes a look at the charge card Lyon slid over the table. She knows his fee is going to be high but her jaw drops at the ridiculous numbers written on it. She draws a tiny line with her lips and throws it back across the table.Her voice is low but piercing as she hisses, "This is crazy, Ryder. I refuse to pay that. And for your other request,—" she says in a tone subtly laced with contempt, "—you can forget it."Lyon laughs quietly and reclines in his chair, seemingly taking pleasure in her annoyance. "You should understand that negotiating is an art, Cordelia. Additionally, I believe we both understand that you are not here to go empty-handed.”Cordelia glares at him while folding her arms. "Avoid putting me to the test, Ryder. Over a dozen other investigators are present in this city.But none is like me,” Lyon responds with a smooth grin that never wavers. "I possess the contacts, expertise, and dirt you require.You're here because I delive
Cordelia types away on her office system, her mind focused on the memo she is preparing, which would be needed the following day for a presentation.Given the importance of that presentation, CEO Alan had explicitly stated that she should get it done herself, rather than passing it on to junior secretaries.Alan had effortlessly switched to professional mode the following week he insulted and humiliated her. It is very characteristic of him to switch like that, like the ashole that he is, until the next time his sexual urge beckons on him for a prey.Then, he'd remember he has a little sex toy nearby who can give him the ride of his life and massage his damned dick.Her phone chimes on the table, indicating an incoming text.Irritated with the interruption, she hisses, but her face brightens up when she glances at the screen and she sees that it is a message from Ryder Lyon.“Cafe Blaire, 3pm. Come with your charm.”She mentally rolls her eyes while putting the phone away.Thankfully
Evelyn takes out her phone to dial John’s line but an incoming call buzzes through. Glancing at the screen, she realizes it is Louisa. Answering the call, she says, “Hey girl, xup? How's Liam holding up?” “Eve, there's trouble. Can you come here now?” comes Louisa's low response. Evelyn comes to with a start, “is Liam alright? What happened?” “It's not Liam, it's Kingsley. Can you come over?” Louisa continues speaking in a low, unsteady voice. “Am on my way,” Evelyn replies at once, dropping the call and hurrying into her car. Her fingers tightens around the steering wheel as she speeds toward the hospital, her mind racing with different thoughts. And here, she thought she was the only one having a bad day. Why has the day been so hectic? Louisa sounded so afraid on the phone. Her voice had been so shaky, nearly breaking under the weight of her fear. "Kingsley," she says the name quietly to herself and she feels a surge of frustration go through her. She doesn't know
“Let's settle this now Louisa,” Kingsley starts, his voice bitter and colder than she'd ever heard it. He hesitates, just outside the threshold of the hallway, facing her squarely. His intent gaze seems to bore into her soul and Louisa wonders what the hell is going on. “I'll ask you again, who is your son's father?” Louisa's palms become clammy and her breath hitch as she realizes that Kingsley still has doubts about her son's paternity. She knew the moment he found out that Liam is her son that things would become hectic, because, for a fact, the odds are actually high. Knowing he is four years old and also has his generic disease is too big for a coincidence. But she didn't expect him to be so invested in the matter despite her refusal to open up. What exactly is it with this man? Does he want to see her shriveled up and dead from anxiety? She blinks and opens her mouth to speak but no sound comes out. Her mind races for something, anything, that would suffice as an a
The germless, clean fragrance of the hospital room remains in the air as Louisa drapes a thick duvet around Liam, who sits propped up in his bed. He has just been moved from the ICU to his private room, for further monitoring before being discharged finally. His cheeky grin belays the ordeal he's been through. Louisa can't help but return his smile although her tired eyes betray the exhaustion of sleepless nights. Her son is finally awake, stable and being his usual mischievous self again. It is a relief she isn't sure she deserves but she clings to it regardless. “You're doing too much again, mommy,” Liam swoons, his eyes twinkling. “I'm not a baby doll.” Louisa gives a low chuckle, genuinely amused by her son's folly. She brushes a strand of hair off his face. “ironic, coming from a four year old,” She teases him. “Come on, I'm just trying to make sure you're comfortable. Let me mother you a bit before resuming office.” “Don't jest mom,” Liam says, reaching for his favo
