DAWN
I twist and turn against the mattress, rubbing sleep off my eyes and realise that my skin is brushing against a hard chest. Almost instantly, the night I ended up spending with Kyle comes back to the front of my mind. His muscular arm hugs me over the stomach, and I pivot under his arms to glance at him. His face is gorgeous when he's sleeping.I have never seen such an attractive man before in my life.Remembering how he made love to me last night, I can't help but blush. He was at it till the early hours of this morning, trying to please me and help me orgasm. And he achieved his goals because I did cum so many times. After all, he does know how to pleasure a woman.Where did he learn all of his magic tricks?Yawning at the lack of sleep, I stare in the direction of the wall clock and realise that if we don't get going now, we will be late.It's almost 6:30 in the morning, and it's good that my daily habit of rising with the sun has managed to waKYLEWhen Ms Burton shows her face to my office again, I look at her with a confused glance. It's shocking because she had asked me if she could apply for a leave application, but she has still shown up to work today. Wondering why she hasn't left for a holiday, I cross my arms against my chest."Mr Waugh, the planning team wants clarification on a few clauses for a press release that is supposed to go out for our public event. Can you look over this?" She presents a file that she has been holding in her hands. "Ms Jenkins wants you to green signal the project." She clears her throat. "Fiona is anticipating an update in the next few hours."Picking up the file to flip through the pages inside it, I realise that I have yet to decide on the last project, and last night was hectic for an entirely different reason. I wipe the smile off my face at the realisation.Looking up, I stare at Ms Burton squarely."Where are the meeting minutes from yesterday? I need the
DAWNWalking out of his office, I smile softly as the past few moments play over in my head.He's so cute when he's surprised to see me.For some reason, I couldn't gather the courage to ask Kyle the question that's been eating away at me. Maybe I could do that when he comes home tonight.Should I cook him dinner too?I haven't cooked for anyone before, but I want to cook for him.It's another way to show him my appreciation and love.I wonder how surprised he will be to see me cook dinner for once. For all the days we have been together, he's the one who does all the chores. And some part of me wants to see his curious smile that plays on his lips when I do something for him. Like on that day when I cooked him my favourite sandwich for lunch. He had smiled so big. I want to see that smile again.Then that's what I'll do.Exhaling another breath as I take the elevator to my office floor, I wonder how he'll react to my cooking. If it's a g
DAWNI smile as I open my eyes and watch Kyle sleeping next to me. My eyes find the wall clock, and I realise it's two in the morning. After making love, we ended up falling asleep. My stomach growls with a loud vengeance as I pat the side of Kyle's head. His eyes blink, and he lifts his eyes and wakes up because of my small gesture."Did I wake you?" I ask him while yawning into the back of my hand. "I didn't mean to do that."He shakes his head, stirring in his sleeping position to face me. He stretches his neck from side to side."No, you didn't." He stretches his arms. "It's all right even if you did." A hint of a smile touches his lips. "Are you hungry?""A little bit." I put my palm around his face, and he doesn't even blink an eye when I reach for him. "We didn't eat at all. Would you like to eat something?"He brushes his face against my palm like a kitten."We can get a snack." He sits up against the headboard and then stares at me. "Shoul
DAWNMorning comes faster than I'm ready for it. I rub the sleep from my eyes as I feel Kyle move away, and the pressure on my side of the mattress shifts. I run my hands at his vacant spot while my eyes adjust to the incoming light through the long windows in our bedroom.I feel him lean in as I close my eyes again. His fingers run through my hair as I yawn."We are going to get late, Dawn. I'm heading off to shower. You can shower after me."Without opening my eyes, I nod and toss under the duvet."Would you like to shower before I do?" Then I can feel him smiling. "Or join me?"I grab a pillow from his side of the bed and shove it lightly against his bare abs."Just go and shower.""All right, babe." He chuckles. "I'll be out in no time.""Maybe I'll cook breakfast while you shower."Shaking his head, he opposes the idea."You already cooked dinner last night." He smiles before he leaves for the bathroom. "Catch up on your sl
DAWN"I think it's all done. I've finished this mind-numbing part of the marketing strategy." I edge my work chair closer to Julie's, who is scratching the back of her neck, lost in her thoughts. "What are you working on?"Julie has a faraway look in her eyes, but when she hears me talking, she pivots her head around to take a look at me."Uh, did you say something to me?"I nod my head."What are you thinking about?" Then I assess her face for clues. "It looks like something is going on. Isn't it?"She licks her lower lip, hiding her face from me. She doesn't say anything for a long minute then her eyes flick to her computer monitor. I eventually glimpse an open email as her cursor blinks near the subject line, but Julie hasn't gotten around to sending an answer yet.When I stare closely at the contents of the email, my jaw hits the floor.Is this for real?"What the hell is that about?"Julie takes a second to realise I have read her personal email, but she doesn't seem mad. From he
DAWNDuring the lunch break, I slip out of the cafeteria unnoticed by anyone and make my way to the elevators. I punch the buttons to take me to Kyle's office floor, and I suck in a deep breath because it's slightly a risk I'm taking. Knowing I have no business to go and see him right now, and that only makes me want to see him more.We've been texting back and forth the entire day, and he's been sending me sweet messages. My heart thumps against its walls, and adrenaline rises in my veins.Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I type a text message to him.Have you eaten lunch?I'm coming to see you.Then I kill the screen and put it back in my skirt's pocket, hoping he sees my text messages and responds. Within a moment, he replies swiftly.I unlock the screen to read his messages.Uh, if you want to come to see me, come quick.I have to leave soon for another meeting after lunch.A weird sensation flips my stomach as I stare at my ph
DAWNWhat was that about?Why was he so distant?Somehow, I find myself walking towards the extended lobby and then stumbling inside the elevator car, my eyes on the floor.Did he really leave without saying anything?Why was he in such a hurry?Did something happen at work?What is he hiding from me?Does he not trust me enough to open up to me?Scary thoughts swirl through my head as I swallow and sigh inadvertently. Wringing my fingers, I bite my lower lip.I wanted to surprise him.Instead, I was surprised by how formal he was when he kissed me.Is this how it will always be when we are at the office?Feeling embarrassed at the whole encounter, I bite the insides of my cheek. Not knowing where I'm going, I press the call buttons on the keypad to take me to the cafeteria floor.If I have to be an emotional wreck about what my husband feels about me, I will not do all the thinking on an empty stomach.Fuck
DAWNLater in the afternoon, when I'm on my fifth cup of coffee, I watch my phone buzz, sitting next to my computer. Fidgeting with the stylus on my work tablet, I unlock the screen. My eyes zero in on a message sent from an unknown number.Do you really think I won't be able to find you?Sucking in a deep breath, I stare at the sender's number of the suspicious message I just received on my phone. No matter how hard I think, I still can't put the number to a name in my head. I think long and hard about this.Who is this?Is it him?Could it be him?I thought he must have forgotten all about me.Is he still keeping tabs on me?Another message pops up on my screen.I know you're hiding in plain sight, but I can't really tell how long you'll keep hiding from me, Dawn. ;)As I'm reading the insidious text of the current message on my phone screen, two more messages pop up from the same number. Biting the inside of my lips, I open t
KYLECrossing my hands across my chest, I wait for Neil to bring the car in front of the official building establishment. I am wondering when he's going to get around to pulling the car in front of me. Running a hand across my temple, I massage the sides of my head to massage the nerves throbbing in the right part of my skull.Knowing that I have to deal with my dad tonight is getting on my nerves, and I don't know what to do with it. I have to inform Neil that he's coming with me tonight. I don't know if he'll agree to accompany me.As I'm lost in my thoughts, I see a car pulling in front of the company's parking area and then making its way towards me as I pull on my shirt's wrist. There's a nip in the air, and I somehow feel the cold settling within my skin. I have a lot on my mind, but I also know that I have to just get through tonight.What will my dad think about Dawn?How will he react to this marriage that he doesn't even know about?It's not that I didn't want to tell him, b
DAWN My phone buzzes in my pocket and my hand mindlessly reaches for it. I watch Julie talk to one of our planning team coworkers and she laughs loudly while she playfully nudges the guy on his chest with the back of her hand. She's awfully flirtatious with him today. Is he set out to be her next crush? Julie exchanges a look with me when she sees me staring at them with a confused face. Her eyes offer me a blank look as they tell me to get off her case, so I shake my head and focus on the phone in my hands and the screen gleams before dying down. It looks like I have received texts from someone. When I tap on the power button again, my glowing screen tells me that I have received some texts from Kyle. An instant smile breaks out on my face as I take a step away from our colleagues to read his text in the corner of their office room. Tapping on the messenger chat, my eyes grow wide and my lips part. The smile fades off my features and its place, I reckon fear takes its place. H
KYLE As I flip through the meeting notes Ms Burton left on my table some time ago, a message buzzes on my phone screen. When I pick up the phone to glance at it, I rub my index finger and thumb across the bridge of my nose. What does he want from me? Sighing, I pick up my phone and slide my thumb on the screen, stretching the sides of my neck. Oh, god. Was I supposed to meet him today? Tapping my finger reluctantly on the chat box to access his text, I make a face blow out a series of short breaths when his message pops up on the screen.
DAWNAfter our late afternoon lunch, Julie and I walk in tow to get back to our office room. Fiona has been coming in and going out of our office all this morning as she pleases, trying her best to intimidate us and breathing down our backs. She wants updates about every tiny thing with our new marketing materials, and Julie and I have been whispering about how insufferable she has been about this whole thing. After another discreet meeting with Mr Waugh, about whose details we got to know more from Sophia, yes, she's the person who was talking about my back, told us that Fiona was red-faced walking out of Kyle's office. Fiona's nostrils flared when Sophia tried to ask and more like inquire why Fiona needed a second and clearly a more private meeting with our CEO.Now, Sophia thinks Fiona is the person who is trying to lure Kyle into h
KYLEChewing on my lower lip, I read the email on my computer screen with a raised eyebrow. Fiona has sent mass emails to all the heads of departments, and I have been forwarded that email by Neil. Her email reads like this.Dear Respected Teammates and Colleagues,I think the CEO is trying to make an example of me since I stood up to him, and I need to do better to stay at this company. Can you support me in this process since you were a part of the negotiation he started for me to get a demotion in front of the respected members of this reputed company at the conference meeting earlier?I will cherish your support forever!
DAWN"Good, you're back," Julie declares her words to me as I step into the office room. "You were not kidding when you said you'll be gone for a bit.""I wasn't." I give her a small smile, getting into my desk chair as I suck in a deep breath and release it. "There were things I needed to take care of, so I took care of them." Shrugging my shoulders, I exchange glances with her. "That's it.""Sounds good, Dawn." Julie picks up a stack of files and passes them over to me. "I forgot to give them to you earlier. When Fiona came in to check on you, she brought them with her, and she wanted you to go through all of them by the end of the workday." Stretching her limbs above her head, she yawns. "I have to help you out in sorting the data out too. It's our team lead's orders."
DAWNAs I walk towards the stairway, my stomach flips upside down. A warm need makes itself known as last night's images flash in front of my eyes.I can't stop thinking about him moving between my legs, can I?Just asking myself that question makes my face flush and my eyes warm.I'm glad Kyle is not here.If Kyle was here, I know he would notice I'm blushing.I wonder if he could see right through me.It's not that hard to read me, either.Is it?My pussy walls flutter as my heart throbs against its walls.Why am I feeling like this?It's just Kyle.God, I need to stop feeling this way around him all the time when he's with me.But why do I need him so much?I have no answer to this question either.As I take quick steps towards the stairwell, I finally come face to face with the slightly cracked open door in front of it on my office floor. Opening it slowly further, I peer inside. No one seems to be in the
DAWNWhen I return to the office room, I sit down on my work chair with a plop, exhaling a harsh breath.I have just gotten to work, but it already seems like a long day has passed.Julie looks at me curiously when I turn my desktop computer on, wanting to get a headstart on work, open the attached files on our work messenger and log into my email on my screen. But when I don't say anything for a minute, she bows her head down and focuses on her work."What's going on now, Julie?" I ask her without looking up. "Is there something you want to tell me or ask me?""Not really." Julie shakes her head. "No, unless you want to tell me what happened with Fiona." She wets her lower lip. "Did you run into her or something?""Yeah." Jutting out my lower lip, I nod. "Well, she came into the women's washroom to confront me. Thanks for looking out for me even though you find me cold, rude, and indifferent to your hardships. I got there just in time because of you. A
DAWN"Dawn," the person says in a stern voice. "Are you in there?" The person talks much more loudly this time. "Are you okay in there? It's me, Fiona." Then she pauses. "You can come out right now. I need to talk to you."When I don't say anything, she proceeds to talk into the silence as I sense my tolerance for her behaviour evaporating into thin air when she addresses me again."Dawn. I know you're in there. It's all right. You can come out." She pauses. "You're sick, so I don't want to stretch this longer than it has to be here." When I don't respond in any way to her words, she starts talking again. "Oh, please, for the love of God, you can come out now. I won't bite you." Another pause. "Scratch that. I am worried about you since you are my teammate."My heart beats loudly against my chest.What does she want to talk to me about?Is she for real?Is she acting sympathetic towards me after all this time that has passed where she has done noth
