All Chapters of Tempting Hot Neighbor: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Nicole had come to be known as one of the most powerful forces in the corporate world, and as an assistant of Harrison Corp.'s CEO, she had proved to be a very valuable asset to the enterprise. That was how Nicole got to be known—reliable, intelligent, industrious—with the highest perception that clients in the industry had of who should work for them as an assistant through such adjectives like "exceptional organizational skills," "excellent attention to detail," "taking initiative," and "ability to think on feet."It seems that Nicole's boss, who was Edwin Harrison, the CEO at Harrison Cop., was very impressed with Nicole as an assistant. She was very thorough with her tasks, anticipating his needs and making sure everything runs smoothly. However, they have been able to maintain a high degree of communication, and he had shown trust in her all the time, seeking her help in handling sensitive and confidential information.She had everything about her that one would call accomplishme

Nicole's eyes went wide as she turned to Ashley, her face pale with worry. "If you have seen, then it means he must have seen too," she whispered, her voice trembling.Ashley's grin faltered for a moment before she asked, "Who?"Nicole closed her eyes, as if trying to block out the memory. "Our new neighbor. When I was giving him the key, it fell, and I had to pick it up. Maybe that's why he was smiling so much."Ashley burst out laughing, her eyes shining with mirth. "You have welcomed him well, with your twin," she teased, chuckling at her own joke.Nicole's face flushed with embarrassment, and she playfully hit Ashley on the arm. "Shut up!"Just then, Nicole's mobile phone rang, shrill and insistent. Ashley's eyes went wide with worry as Nicole picked up the call."Mom's calling," Nicole mouthed to Ashley, who got nervous and whispered, "Don't tell Mom I'm here!"Nicole nodded and answered the call. "Oh, Mom!"Her mom's voice came through the phone, stern and commanding. "Nicole, t

Nicole trudged into the apartment, her feet heavy with the weight of her emotions. She flopped down onto the sofa, letting out a deep sigh as she buried her face in her hands. Gage, sensing her distress, walked towards her with the pizza in hand. He sat down beside her, his expression concerned."Hey, what's wrong?" he asked, setting the pizza box on the coffee table.Nicole lifted her head, her eyes welling up with tears. "Fuck relationships; I hate it," she muttered, her voice trembling with emotion. "It's all Mom's fault."Gage's expression softened, and he reached out to put a comforting arm around her shoulders. "Tell me what happened," he coaxed, his voice gentle.Nicole took a deep breath and launched into her story, telling Gage about her mom's relentless pressure to settle down, her own fears about losing her independence, and her frustration with the whole dating scene. Gage listened attentively, his eyes never leaving hers as he absorbed every word.When Nicole finally fini

It was a cozy Saturday night, and Nicole was looking forward to a relaxing evening with her sister Ashley. They had planned to watch a horror movie together, but as they settled into the couch with their snacks, Ashley had other ideas.Ashley picked up the remote control and started browsing through the movie options. Nicole assumed she was searching for a scary movie, but instead, Ashley clicked on a rom-com."Which movie is it?" Nicole asked, eyeing the screen suspiciously.Ashley grinned mischievously. "Friends with Benefits!"Nicole's eyes widened in surprise. "What! Why did you play it?"Ashley shrugged, munching on her popcorn. "Because I want to see it!"Nicole frowned, feeling a bit disappointed. "But we had planned to watch a horror movie."Ashley waved her hand dismissively. "I know, I know. But I'm not in the mood for horror tonight. I want something light and fun."Nicole raised an eyebrow, teasing her sister. "You just want to watch Justin Timberlake, don't you?"Ashley g

She walked; Nicole's mind replayed the conversation over and over again. She couldn't believe her friends had actually suggested she might be a lesbian. It was hurtful and insulting, and Nicole couldn't help but wonder if her friends had ever really been friends at all.Nicole stumbled down the street, the cool night air did little to calm her down. She was drunk, having consumed a significant amount of vodka in a short span of time. Her words were slurring, and her steps were unsteady."Who do they think they are?" Nicole muttered to herself, her voice barely audible. "I'm not going to die a virgin... I'll prove it to them... I'm interested in boys... and I can sleep with them..."Nicole's thoughts were jumbled, and her sentences were fragmented. She was having trouble keeping her balance, and she stumbled several times as she walked."I want to lose my virginity... and I'll do it... I swear by... vodka..." Nicole slurred, holding up the bottle in a toast to herself.As she walked, N
