At a bonfire camp."Urgh!"Melissa woke up with a pounding headache. Cautiously, she got up. Her head was throbbing, as well as her body aching as if she had been rammed by a truck.Looking at her scattered underwear and dress, she couldn't help but recall the intense sex last night.Last night, after the grand bonfire event organised by the charming hunk, Bryan Scott, Melissa finally crossed the line into intimacy.Bryan had been planning to confess his feelings to her, and her older sister, Mandy, had congratulated them both with a knowing grin.Melissa had downed a drink Mandy handed her and then blissfully drifted into slumber.But in her dreams, she had taken the initiative with Bryan.The transformation of an innocent girl to a passionate woman had been a rollercoaster of sensations.He was an absolute beast in bed, in the best way possible.Suddenly, she heard Mandy's voice with panic outside."I don't know, Bryan. I honestly didn't mean for this to happen.""Shh! lower your vo

Damien stood with his head slightly bowed, observing the woman whose eyes kept darting around, obviously plotting her escape.Standing this close, he could tell this woman wore no perfume or makeup.Bathed in soft moonlight streaming through the window, she wasn't bad-looking.In fact, she could even be described as pretty— petite frame, fair skin, lovely oval-shaped face, dainty lips and small nose.But her best feature were her eyes— big, round, liquid eyes that required no help from mascara.People often said that eyes were the window to the soul, and in this woman's case, it was actually true.Just one glance at her, Damien could tell what she was thinking—make a run for it, or try to reason with him?Leaning forward slightly, he could smell her shampoo— something cheap and citrusy, unlike the thousand dollars limited edition Chanel No. 5 Eau dande Olivia Hamilton wore.But strangely, he didn't feel the same nausea he experienced when Olivia get close to him.To confirm, he stepp

Damn it!WHAT A MESS!Melissa, sensing the weight of Olivia's emotion rushed to explain, desperation lacing her words."No, Miss Hamilton. it's a misunderstanding! I'm in no way involved in with Ashford. We are just—"But before Melissa could finish speaking, Damien's restraining arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer to him.The sudden closeness sent a shiver down Melissa's spine. A flush of embarrassment coloured her cheeks as she realized the physical evidence of Damien's desire pressing against her backside.They stood together, facing Olivia, their bodies almost melding into one.Damien shit a cold look at Olivia. "Have you seen enough?" Olivia pursed her lips. "Well, aren't you touchy? Fine, I won't disturb you any longer. Carry on. Although, I suggest you take this party to a hotel room. Too many prying eyes here."Olivia shot Melissa a look of jealousy before she turned and walked away.The car closed once again."Urgh!" Melissa fumed, her anger mounting.She elbo

The chief editor's office, the largest one on the entire floor, was adorned with sleek furniture and framed accolades lining the walls.Melissa knocked and waited for a reply before walking in.Robert Chavez's displeased expression confirmed her suspicions.She was on thin ice, her probation period nearing its end, and her lack of ‘BuzzWorthy’ articles hung heavily in the air Robert wasted no time in reminding her shortcomings, his voice laced with frustration. "Miss Walker, your probation period is almost up, and we haven't seen the impact we expected. Where are the headlines that will make waves?"Melissa's eyes darted around the room, searching for a lifeline.She pleaded, her voice tinged with desperation. "Please, Mr Chavez, just give me one more chance. I know I can deliver a headline that will captivate outlet readers."Robert gestured towards BuzzFeed's website, where Zara Watson's article on the A-list actress and the city's wealthiest billionaire CEO dominated the page, gar

The bodyguard obeyed without question, taking up his position alongside three others.The narrow hallway now stood as a blockade, with Melissa trapped within its confines.Melissa heart pounded in her chest.Her escape route has been cut off, leaving her feeling vulnerable and cornered.She couldn't deny the flicker of trepidation that danced in her eyes as she faced Damien scowl.Her breath hitched in her throat as Damien forcefully closed the distance between them, his hands holding her in place.The aggression in his action sent shivers down her spine, her body responding with a mix of fear and a raw, undeniable attraction.Melissa's eyes widened as his lips crashed against hers once more, this time with an intensity that left no room for escape.Her mind raced, her thoughts tangled in a chaotic web of desire and confusion.Damien's eyes closed as he deepened the kiss, his tongue exploring her mouth with an almost possessive hunger.Melissa's eyes remained wide and open capturing e
