DAWN

Morning 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.

    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

    KYLEFeeling the anticipation as I head home after the long day I have just had feels soothing. The drive back home puts me in a mood of excitement and merriment. I feel like a child on Christmas morning waiting to open the gifts my nanny has planned and picked out for me because I had been such a good boy the entire year. Even hearing Neil whistling while he drives me back home doesn't sullen my mood even a little bit."Are you done texting your wife, Mr Waugh?" Neil asks. "Can I have my phone back? I need to text a friend."Picking up the phone from my side of the seat, I hand it back to him with a warning."Don't text and drive, Neil. It is not safe." I shake my head. "It's not a good habit unless you want to get us killed."Neil laughs."I wanted to text my friend after I dropped you off." He licks his lips. "I have a church meeting I want to attend tonight, and I am also running a bake sale over the weekend. That's why I needed my phone for updates

    KYLE"Do you want me to get rid of your shirt?" I smile as I bring my nose to inhale her scent as I caress my nose against her neck. I lick her chin slowly, gently moving to her ear, and then take a moment to kiss her neck. "I want to get access to your beautiful chest." Sighing, I step a step back as I hold her shoulders. "Or you can go upstairs and clean up. God, I need to stop trying to be inside you the moment you come home."Dawn finally talks, licking her lower lip as she stares at my hands."I want you to get access to my chest." She laughs nervously. "And I like how you're trying to get inside me the moment I came home." She bites her lower lip and makes a show of it. "I guess we both missed each other, huh?""I sure did miss you."Stepping closer to her, I open the top few buttons of her shirt. The silk fabric beneath it reveals a black bra with intricately embroidered red and pink poppies on the cups. It's the one I picked out for her alongside her

    DAWNWaking up in Kyle's arms, I raise my head a little to look at the surroundings. Bright light pops in from the curtains as I shove a hand in my hair to remove it from my face. As I blink my sleepy eyes slowly a few times to clear my vision, my eyes fall onto the wall clock, and I sigh into the back of my hand to see that it's close to five-thirty a.m. The sun outside feels hot, and I stretch my limbs drowsily, wondering if I have a lot of work today on my hands. I remove Kyle's warm hand from my torso and sit up as I straighten my back to lean against the headrest.Yawning, I watch Kyle's bare chest rise and thud as he inhales comfortably in his sleep. Immediately, a blush colours my lips as I replay the events from last night. I reckon we moved from his den eventually to eat the dinner he cooked for me before I came home, and then he stayed up with me in bed as we stared at the ceiling and talked. I remember him caressing my hair to comfort me when sleep became heavy

    KYLEWhen I wake up in the morning to get ready for work, I feel Dawn's warm hand resting on my bare chest. I twist and turn against the sheets to face her. Her fingers lay outstretched, and her chest rises and thuds gradually as she breathes while sleeping. Her mouth makes a pout, and her eyes move beneath her lids. I reach her face with my long fingers to fix her hair behind her ear.I reckon it's a blessing to watch her fall asleep next to me and wake up next to her.My fingers fix more of her hair as I kiss her on her cheeks. Her eyes flutter beneath her lids for a second, but then she hides her face as she moves to sleep on her side. Begrudgingly, I rip the duvet off me, take a moment to properly spread it over her body and get out of bed. I wish I could spend another fifteen minutes with her, staring at her sleepy face and caressing her, but I have to get to work early for a meeting.The planning team is almost in the final stages with the most significant

    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
