MORGAN'S POV Well, seeing that our precious moments was gone, I went for the next best thing, her bed.Walking past her, I threw my body onto her bed, resting my back against the headboard. I lifted my legs onto the mattress and took one pillow in my hands. This way, her sweet fragrance surrounded me."Wh...what are you doing?" She stuttered,turning to regard me. The embarrassment on her face was still evident, her ears red from how hard she was flushing. I enjoyed how flustered she appeared, but I wasn't going to mention it."Tell me what happened. What was so good that you had to scream?”, I said instead of answering her question. "I can tell you in the living room," she said, her attention still on the fact that I was still lying on her bed as if I belonged there. EVE'S POV Was I the only one who thought he was crossing a boundary?."I'm okay here", he said, cradling my pillow in my arms.I couldn't exactly physically eject him from the bed, so I gave up and took a seat on my

EVE'S POV When the assistant took back the shirt, I turned and headed towards where the two were standing. They stopped talking when they saw me approaching, but unfortunately for them, I had already heard everything."Excuse me, can you please stop mocking us? We came here to shop and it's quite unpleasant when you two are standing here making insulting remarks”, I said.The two exchanged a look, and then faced me. One of them frowned. "I'm sorry, what are you talking about?" She asked that with a confused expression, as if she truly had no idea what I was talking about.“l could hear you two clearly. So don't bother acting like you don't know what I'm talking about. Is this how you treat customers here?" I told them,"Customers are people who buy clothes here.You two are obviously just here to waste everybody's time. Look around and ask yourself if this looks like a store you should be in”, the other one said, not interested in playing pretend like her co-worker.I clenched my han

MORGAN'S POV "It's not in your place to tell us how to do our jobs," the manager snapped at Eve, taking a step towards her. "I'm telling you now, if you and your husband don't leave right away, we'll detain you and call the police to take you away”,Seeing that the argument was getting heated, and that Eve seemed ready to lash out at the manager, I grabbed her arm and pulled her back to my side. "It's okay. Just let him be", I whispered to her,She looked up at me, her face troubled, her nostrils flared, betraying the fact that she was truly worked up and barely holding on to her civility by a thread. "You heard what he said;' she told me, as if she couldn't understand why I was asking her to back off. "He is making false accusations to humiliate us. We cannot let him treat us like that","Why don't you listen to your husband? He seems to understand what's going on," the manager butted into our conversation, sounding smug.Immediately, Eve tried to break from my grasp to confront

EVE'S POV Since the owner of the shop had appeared, I had been stuck in a stupor. When he showed up, I had expected him to inquire what was going on, and I was curious as to how Morgan was going to engage with him. But Instead, when the man appeared, he immediately took our side before listening to his staff's explanations. What followed, was him asking the staff to apologise to us, and firing them even shocked me further. Not to mention him saying that we could shop whatever clothes we wanted for free. It was all so unexpected.It wasn't until he left, after being curiously respectful towards Morgan, that I was able to snap out of my astonishment."What just happened?" I asked Morgan, looking up at him with wide eyes.He shrugged and shoved his hands into his trouser's pockets, looking relaxed. "I suppose he's really concerned about the store's reputation, so he solved the issue as quickly as he could",I nodded, but couldn't help frowning too. It's true that the owner was concern

MORGAN'S POV As I kissed her deeper, I dropped my hand to her neck, caressing her soft skin, annoying its feel beneath my fingers. My hand moved lower to her shoulder, which was bare but for the straps of her camisole.I went past the straps to her bare arms, stroking her skin lightly. She shivered in my arms, and I wondered whether it was a reaction to me or the cold.Her hands, which were now clutching to my shoulders tightly, pushed me back as she tried to disengage our lips. But I only pulled her closer, now teasing her lips with my tongue. She gasped and drew in a breath through her mouth, and it was only then that it occurred to me that she was out of breath and wanted a break.Before I could give her a little space, with full intention of resuming the kiss right after, the both of us jerked apart as the car suddenly skidded to a halt.I quickly wrapped my arms around Eve to keep her from falling off the seat and quickly glared at Henry."I'm sorry, sir. I almost ran into a ca

MORGAN'S POV My brain caught up with my body a second too late, and I froze, my hands going still around her and my lips freezing against her neck. No matter how much I wanted her, I couldn't do this, not when she was drunk and asleep...Cursing softly, I with drew my hands from her body and rolled away, creating distance between us. Lying on my back, I covered my eyes with my arm and took deep calming breaths. No matter what she did in her current state, there was no excuse to act on my desire. I would be taking advantage of her, and that's not how we wanted things to happen between us.Sighing, I turned to my side to watch her. My eyes were drawn to her face, and her beauty stole my breath. Everything about her seemed to be stealing my breath of lately, and I wondered how I had thought, even for a moment, that I could ignore her while we lived under the same roof.If I had taken time to pay attention to her from the moment I first saw her, I would have realised sooner that I wou

EVE'S POV That morning, my department had a meeting, but my mind was barely in the room as various teams presented their reports. I was busy trying to untangle the puzzle that the previous night had left in my mind. No matter how hard I tried to urge myself to not think about it, it didn't take long before my thoughts slides back to that territory.What must I have been thinking? I have asked myself this question about a hundred times since I left the house in the morning, but I still had no answer. So I settled on the only one reason that made sense, the alcohol. It was the alcohol that was to blame for my behaviour. Otherwise, I never would have dreamed of clinging to Morgan the way I had, let alone kiss him.Its true that he is a handsome man, and I thought him to be attractive, and maybe he was totally my type, but I was in no position to be lusting after him. Or acting on that lust. The alcohol had done away with not only my sense of propriety, but also my sanity, and that was

It was a big relief, because I had no idea how I would have reacted had he brought it up again.At this point, I think the man I needed to avoid at all costs was unfortunately one who was around me all day long, my department director, Mr Gray.

He showed me way too much attention in the disguise of work, but he never passed up a chance to make hints about what his true intentions were.I took every precaution I could to avoid running into him, but there was no so much hiding I could do when I worked under him.If only there was a way to put his advances to an end once and for all, I would not hesitate to do it.One day, while I was making use of the restroo
