A smile appeared on Adriana's face as she hit the enter button on her laptop." Finally, " she groaned tiredly moving her neck from side to side to remove the kinks and aches from so much bending to work on her laptop.She just completed the numerous reports she needed for the next managerial meeting coming up next week.As the new CEO of her father's company, she has a lot on her desk to do. Their company, Starprize Winery was performing below par because her father had been lax with his employees giving them room to do as they please.Adriana loves her father and respects him a lot, but the man was kind to a fault.When she took over as the new CEO a few years ago after graduating top of her class from Havard business school, she found their accounts to be in red, and most of all other departments with a lot of mess that had the company in so much dept that she is still fighting till this day to pull them out.She has managed to pull them out from red but they were barely floating a

If looks could kill, Skyler's friends will be dead on the floor.Skyler glared at them as they head off to the other side of the room abandoning him to the vixen that was heading towards him like a tigress on a prowl.Skyler's glare turns to one of fright as he realized he was going to have to deal with the woman whether he likes it or not.He looked towards the exit, his sharp mind calculating the distance between him and the door and if he can make a break for it before the vixen reaches him." Hello, " a feminine voice poured over him causing his whole body to break out in bumps, as the voice strokes his flesh like a soft evening breeze.He turned around to face the voice and swallowed his tongue.The woman was even more gorgeous up close.A smug grin played across Adriana's lips when she saw the shock and appreciation in the guy's stunning green. She must say she was a little bit stunned to find his eyes this green. Rarely has she seen that color in men. From across the room she

Adriana let her tired body relax more atoning itself to the smooth rhythm of the car as it purred over the road.The interior of the car was amazing and smelled like the man beside her.She couldn't help stealing glances at him.His face was stunning under the moon reflection, almost ethereal.He hasn't said anything since they set out, but she wasn't surprised by that. The man beside her was a man of few words. Adriana almost expected the silence between them to be uncomfortable but it wasn't.This is the first time in a long while she is in such close space with a man and nothing is going on. No talking, or make out session just complet silence.The silence was so comfortable that she didn't see the need to fill it with empty chatter. Neither did the guy.Skyler could feel the blonde's stare on his face even though she was being subtle. " Take a picture it might last longer, " Skyler teased not taking his eyes from the road.He has always been a careful driver and having a passen

It felt like in a dream, the excruciating pain Adriana was feeling. She tried to get comfortable but the pain wouldn't let her and the problem is, she can't even pinpoint the source of the pain.Her sleep was restless as she tried to sleep amidst the discomfort.Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and her eyes opened.The first thing that hit her was the throbbing pain in her left foot." Fuck! " This hurts she exclaimed loud into the room sitting up.A glance at her foot revealed some swelling around her ankle.What a lousy Friday night. Didn't get laid but got injured instead.Adriana was about to get out of bed but paused mid-way as she recalled the face of the gentleman she met last night.He is so dreamy, she gushed to herself. Wonder if I will see him again if I go back to the club.Worth a try, Adriana gave herself a secret smile as she hopped down from the bed making sure to keep her weight off her injured foot.Her thoughts still on the man and how to entice him into a date

Skyler's shoes struck heavily on the expensive beautiful linoleum floor of his parent's home as he stomped towards the door, his body vibrating with restrained fury. Of all the stunts his parents have ever pulled this takes the cake.The sound of his shoe could be heard all through the walls of the empty hallway as they echoed his fury.As soon as he was clear of the dining room Skyler took out his phone to call the valet to bring around his car. He couldn't wait to get out of this place.He was almost to the door when a voice spoke behind him. It was his father's butler. An Irish gentleman in his sixties, with the kindest grey eyes Skyler has ever seen in his life. A man that was more of a father to him than he his real father. A man that treated him like he was somebody instead of something to be feared, frowned upon, or studied.Darragh is a second-generation Irish American.
