LAURA'S POV"Ahhhn," my head hurts so bad. I rolled on the bed and landed butt first on the floor."Shit," I cursed under my breath as I rubbed my arms.I stood up from the bed, and my eyes widened as I stared at it, then at my dress. How did I get to the bed? I wondered, staring at the bed in confusion.I rubbed my head as my mind went back to last night, remembering how I felt him carry me in his strong arms.This is so embarrassing. How am I going to face him now? First, I raised that skimpy nightwear in front of him, and now I let him carry me.You were asleep. It's not your fault, my mind reminded, and I sighed in relief.I quickly freshened up and changed into a pair of jeans and a formal shirt, paired with shoes."Good morning," I greeted, and he glanced at me, then back at his phone."Good morning. Everyone has gathered for breakfast already; we should go down," he replied, and I nodded.I was already in front of the door when he called my name. "Laura..." I stopped and turned
LAURA'S POVWhy is he staring at me like that? I wondered. Was it just my thoughts, or has Bryan been staring at me ever since he entered this house?I hope he hasn't found another reason to start a fight with me. I've done nothing wrong. I pulled my dress down a bit but stopped myself immediately. What's the use of pulling my dress down?It's not like I'm dressed in an indecent manner, I thought with a frown on my face. As I tried to leave the room, he cleared his throat, which made me halt my steps immediately."Come over here," his voice called out to me. Ever since I hurt him, he's distanced himself, even his emotions."Huh?" I replied immediately as I got to where he was seated."How was your first day? What did you encounter at the mansion?" He inquired professionally."Nothing much everything was pretty normal. Even the head maid was pretty nice. According to her, the boss doesn't come over that much, but he comes by whenever he wants to," I explained, and he pinched the bridge
BRYAN'S POV"How was work?" Jacob inquired as he blew out the smoke from his cigarette in his room."I met Viktor, and trust me, the guy knows I can be used to his advantage. He mentioned something about me gaining his trust," I responded, and he smirked."Good one. I feel we are playing our cards right, but even at that, we need to make sure he trusts you soon. That's the easiest way we can get the information we need," he remarked and drank from his glass of wine."Is it really necessary for her to work at his mansion?" I questioned, and Jacob turned in my direction."Is there something you're not telling me? I see the way you look at her, Bryan. I thought you had a fiancée," Jacob teased."It's complicated. Laura and I used to have something in the past, and... she broke up with me," I confessed, trying to control my emotions."That's sad," Jacob muttered as he poured wine into his glass."She doesn't feel the same way for me, I guess. It's my fault that, after all these years, my
LAURA'S POV"Rest," his words echoed in my ears as I glared at the door where he had just exited.How could he be so arrogant?And his shirt... I frowned as I raised it, staring at it and then back at the door he had just left through.My mind wandered to the way he peeled the shirt from his body... his biceps and abs."Fuck," I cursed under my breath, rubbing my face in frustration. I managed to take a shower, and when I walked out of the bathroom in my robe, he was sitting on the bed, drinking coffee."You haven’t left for work?" I inquired, folding my arms."I'm making sure you arrive safely before I leave," he responded, and I scoffed immediately."That's not necessary, Mr. Finch. We are only business partners, and I can take care of myself," I remarked, and he smirked."I can see that," he commented mockingly, and I knew he was referring to the bathroom incident. I ignored him as I strolled toward the wardrobe and picked out my outfit for the day."I made you breakfast," he infor
LAURA'S POV"I had fun... thanks a lot, ma'am," I remarked with a smile on my face as we strolled into the house with the things we bought from the market."Welcome, Mom. Hey, Nuella, Elroy arrived a little while ago and he inquired about your whereabouts," she mentioned, and I acknowledged with a slight tilt of my head."Oh, okay. I'll just check what he wants," I replied and walked toward the direction of our room.It was already dark when I walked into the room. My jaw nearly dropped in surprise when my eyes met Bryan's. He looked way too calm for my liking. And there was this dark aura of arrogance and sexiness surrounding him."We need to talk," he muttered, and I stared at him.What did he want us to talk about? After he nearly ruined my game with Viktor this afternoon."About what?" I inquired and tried walking past him, but he held my wrist and pulled me into his arms."What are you...?" I trailed off in shock as he gently ran his fingers through my hair. My heart pounded agai
BRYAN'S POVLast night was too much for me. I didn't talk to her when I returned to bed. She tried to touch me twice, but I rolled to the edge of the bed.When I woke up the next morning, our eyes met. She looked away and muttered a quick good morning."Good morning," I replied as I tried to walk past her. She rubbed her face."We are supposed to join Jacob's mom at the farm," she murmured softly."I know," I answered and walked out of the room."Bryan," she called as we stepped outside together, and I turned with an eyebrow raised."Huh... the thing is... about last night..." She hesitated nervously."Forget it happened. I probably had too much alcohol in my system," I muttered, and her eyes flashed with hurt."I understand," she replied and walked past me.Is she going to the farm dressed like that? I wondered as I stared at the dress she wore.It was a black floral dress that ended just before her knees and a black cute yellow sandals that complimented her skin. We walked out to th
LAURA'S POVHot, sweaty, and pleasure, that's how I felt when he touched me in places that drove me crazy.His name left my lips like a prayer, I was high ...so high it scared the wits out of me."Bry..." I cried out as I felt his thick long fingers slide through my folds.I was burning, the sensation was something I couldn't fathom; it felt like the world stopped, time froze, and all I could feel was the naughtiness of his fingers as they drove in and out of me with reckless abandon.He sent them in slowly then a bit fast, I got the tempo, and I raised my butt a bit immediately he added another finger.I sighed in pleasure as I moved my body to the rhythm. I winced in painful pleasure as he added another, stretching me out."Bryan," I shouted his name as his hot lips trailed my neck back to my lips and devoured them.Making my brain mushy. I felt drunk...all I wanted was him.Just him."I want to be inside you," his husky voice whispered out in hunger, and my eyes snapped open.Fuck
LAURA'S POV"Let's cuddle, it's a weather for lovers..." he uttered teasingly, and I blushed red.This man is acting weird. I mean, he just changed all of a sudden. He has been so cold toward me that I actually forgot there was a playful side to him.What did you expect after all the things you put him through? My mind mocked.I shook my head as I got to the bed. He smirked and decided to excuse me for a while.Immediately he left, my phone rang, and I smiled when I saw the caller ID."Cris," I said immediately I picked up the call."Laura, I thought something bad happened to you. I've been trying to reach you for days," he stated worriedly."I'm fine, Cris. I told you not to worry about me... it's work," I murmured the last part softly."I know I'm not supposed to be so worried about you, but I can't help it. My heart wouldn't listen to me," he stated, and I fell quiet."Cris," I called his name in distress."But it's okay. Just don't tell me to move on, please," he uttered, and I ra
