EMMAI couldn’t keep up with how many times and rounds we had gone in that room, I had waken up a ravenous beast that had no intention of stopping till he had me. Rowan was a beast, he took me up against the table, the wall, and back to the bed. Till I was well spent, so was he. I woke up with a sore but sated body and looked around the dimly lit room, illuminated by the sunlight filtering in. I glanced to my side and felt relieved to see Rowan fast asleep.A part of me felt nervous as I bit my lip in worry, with doubts clouding my mind. What if Rowan wakes up and acts as if nothing happened, like that day in the living room? What would I do then? I stepped out of bed and almost fell to my feet, my legs weak from last night. It caused a blush to spread across my face.I walked to the bathroom, washing off my face and brushing my teeth, when I heard the door of the room open and then close. My heart sank immediately, thinking he had left. The first time we met, he did that. He left
EMMAI have never felt so much happiness before, seriously. Could the world seem brighter? I don’t think it could! Everything felt like a dream I had conjured up.After I and Rowan had returned to the apartment that morning, we didn’t leave each other's side. He stayed wrapped around me even when I called up the hospital for my mom’s update; even though he didn’t say a thing, he was there.I woke up in my room in the penthouse apartment to see Rowan by my side and in my room. I couldn't help but lay and admire him as his chest rose and fell. God, he was so handsome, and he was mine. He told me he was going to try."Do you like what you see?" Rowan’s voice called, breaking my thoughts off as I realized with a gasp that he was awake and had the nerve to smirk."God, Rowan!" I called as I hit his hand and rolled out of bed, only for him to stage me back and turn me until he was on top of me.Rowan smiled, a genuine one that made my heart flutter, before he bent down to kiss me as his hand
EMMA•I stared at Rowan, who stood with his phone by the entrance of the office. I was shocked to see him and everyone else here too, since he hardly came to this part of the company, unless of course for official duites.“Mr. King, do you need something, sir?!” Mrs. Grace, my supervisor, said this to him, but he didn’t turn his attention to her. His eyes were dead set on me with a smile that had my heart beating.“Don’t worry, I’ve seen what I came for,” he replied to her as he walked into the department and headed right for the desk. I tried to look anywhere else; maybe he would pass by me, but he stopped directly in front of my desk. Shit.He stretched his hands out to take mine in his and dragged me up from my seat. “I just need to borrow one of your staff,” he called, showing our hands to everyone in the department who just gaped as if they had just been given the biggest shock of their life.I looked to Jamie, who looked amused and yet happy for me as he mouthed, ‘You go, girl!’
EMMA•“What the heck did you just say?” Rowan raged as he looked at me, and my body becomes alarmed and shaken with fear. No, no, I didn’t want Rowan to see this and see me with Paxton! This was all a mess. “Rowan, I can explain,” but I was cut off by Paxton’s laughter.“So, you are the big bad billionaire who wants my girl. News flash, she is having my baby,” Paxton added as his hands were still on my wrist. God, I felt so humiliated. “Rowan, it’s not true. Let me just explain.”Rowan noticed my struggle as his eyes glared at Paxton’s hands, which were held tight around my wrist. “Let her go,” Rowan called, looking at Paxton for the first time, his eyes filled with so much rage about to burst out.“And why would I do that?”“You are on private property, and I will have you arrested right now for forced harassment,” Rowan called, and that scared Paxton enough to loosen his grip.Rowan marched forward, took my hand in his, gave no words to Paxton, and took me to the car. “I’m not going
ROWANI never thought I would feel this happy or this possible. I never thought that happiness like this could exist.. And damn, did I fall hard for Emma? I thought it was a fleeting feeling, and all I felt for her was annoyance. I thought all my anger toward her was valid. but it was jealousy.I was jealous that she might find a better partner in the man who texted her that day. I just wanted to rip the band-aid off and be let off easy before I fell deeper for Emma. I couldn’t help but feel anxious every time I looked at her.The biggest part of me hoped that child was mine. Yes, a selfish part of me had given her an ultimatum to help her mom and that she was going to do a paternity test for the child. I avoided her so often because I knew I'd feel different any time I was near her. There was this invisible force that pulled me closer to her, always wanting more. I knew she had grown on me the moment I had come back from my trip in Singapore, and I didn’t think twice about it before
Rowan spent his time at work, and everyone could notice how tense he was as he immersed himself in work and during meetings, making everyone tense. Emma wasn’t supposed to come to work today since she had school, so he had no chance to see her. Rowan was hurt and frustrated. He knew staring at his phone wouldn’t call or bring Emma to him.She still hadn’t called or given him a clear explanation. Any other woman would grovel at his feet for a second chance or would have made up a lie on the spot, but Emma wasn’t like that. He knew that, but still wondered what she was really up to.His door opened, and Keith came into the office, immediately noticing that something was off with his friend. "What is going on?" Keith asked as he sat down, facing Rowan."You seem...""Angry? No shit, I am very frustrated and just lost..fuck" Rowan said as he sighed, pushing himself back on his chair in defeat. People would be surprised to see the Great Rowan King sighing in defeat because of a woman. "Wha
Emma•I couldn't go to school after what happened on Monday, as my thoughts were still all over the place. I'm sure I looked like a crying mess when I stepped into Amy’s house and cried on her shoulder, telling her how much I loved Rowan. I never dared to say it out loud, but I did. I didn’t want to lose him, but I wanted to give him his own space.That’s why I didn’t go back home. And here I was, sitting down on Amy’s couch as I munched on a bag of cookies and chocolate ice cream, feeling like crap as my phone rang.“Hello, Amy? Did you forget something?” I asked as I put the phone between my ear and shoulder to hoist it up while continuing my attack on my ice cream. My laptop was playing sad movies since that was the only thing I was left with from work before the whole incident happened.“Yes, I need it urgently, please. My purse is at the house,” she explained, making me roll my eyes before I stood up to get dressed. I searched around the room, seeing it covered by the books and n
They both stood in silence as Rowan was still leaning up against Emma’s back, and his lips moved to her neck, dropping a slow, light kiss on it that made Emma shudder with relief.. Emma wiggled out of his grip to face him; her hands rose to hold up his face in her small hands as she looked at him. She really looked at him. She could see he was serious. "I am sorry," Emma muttered as she looked into his gray eyes, which had cleared up from drunkenness. "Ahh, don’t cry, darling," he said, caressing her waist as Emma pushed herself against him. "I’m sorry about the alcohol. I hope I’m sure the smell is not disturbing you and the baby," he added.. But Emma just hugged him tighter. "I don’t care; I just want to be here with you," she sniffled on his chest before she rose to give him a light peck. "I’m going to take a shower. Don’t leave again. I don’t want you to," he added quietly, releasing his grip on her, but Emma held on. "I won’t," she called as Rowan stepped up and kissed her foreh
