DESPERATE THIRST FOR LOVE Chapter 16- What the...
The next morning, Zander found himself in his office with a throbbing headache, a direct result of the sleepless night he had endured. Thea had fallen sick and had repeatedly called out for him, her feverish pleas tugging at his heartstrings. As he rubbed his temples, he couldn't shake off the worry that had nestled itself deep within him."Good morning, Mr. Stanton! Here is your coffee, daily schedule, and the news bulletins for today. You have a ten o’clock meeting with the SVP’s in the meeting room, and your dry cleaner left a message that your grey Prada pea coat is missing. They sent their apologies and offered a twenty-percent discount off your next visit. What would you like me to do with this information, sir?"Bunch a lawsuit into a ball and shove it down their throats. He thought to himself.Overall, his PA, Bella Shemerson, was an okay girl. An accountant grad who Zander was pretty sure still thought being a One Direction fan was lit, she did make an effort—something that co
DESPERATE THIRST FOR LOVE Chapter 17- Waiting is nothing.
Elvie bit her lips as she stood there in the executive hallway, frozen and holding a yellow cardboard box to her chest, refusing to look scared. With her sun-kissed hair and a dusting of freckles covering her button-like nose, she was the type of beauty that suddenly sneaked up on everyone. Though she wore a matching Gucci dark pencil skirt and a white satin shirt, paired with t-strap dark shoes, she thought it was the most simple and uncatching getup. But the more they looked at her, the more they realised how striking she was. She looked like she belonged on a runway. Even in her simple attire, she looked like freedom and tasted like a piece of the sky. Why hadn't she noticed that part of her before? Yeah, she dressed beautifully ever since he saw her when he was still in university, but still, he hadn't thought of her like that—like a woman. Zander wanted to grab her and slam her over the desk, fucking her three ways to Sunday in front of his entire executive crew. The problem w
DESPERATE THIRST FOR LOVE Chapter 18- Two can play
Zander frowned and almost broke into a smile—not fake, not calculated, and also not constructive to his twitching dick. "So, how's the first day, dear? Exhausted?" If nothing else, her face was kind of funny. He thought to himself. Elvie glared at him and took her purse from the floor. His words were like a slap in the face, and Elvie's frustration erupted. "This isn't a game, Zander. I deserve respect, and your intentional cruelty is crossing a line. Ignoring me all day and trying to hurt my feelings? What's the matter with you?" Their confrontation crackled with tension, a couple locked in a battle of emotions amidst the hum of ringing phones. "Seriously? Are you this childish?" she almost growled before adding, too annoyed to even look at his smirking lips, "You transferred me here? For what? As fucking decoration? Do I look like a bloody vase to you?" "No! You look like an eye sore to me!" He rolled his eyes. "Why the hell didn't you look for a table? Or do something then?" "Do
DESPERATE THIRST FOR LOVE Chapter 19- Office War
Things got progressively and methodically worse in the week following Elvie’s move from High Fashion to the executive department. The place was a zoo made out of rich perfume, stupid brains, and expensive oak desks glued together in a wave pattern. The newsroom was round, with glass walls. There was a stairway to the next floor that led to a door with a plaque plastered on it: FOR ZEUS ONLY This referred to the actual studio-type room with a glass wall, where the jerky god himself could see everything. But Elvie couldn’t feel the fairy dust on her skin because she was too busy trying to survive her life as she knew it. Her secret husband was the first to kill her mood, every fucking day. Zeus had decided to play a trick on her. First came the carnation flowers, chocolate with insects inside, and text messages that told her to watch her back. When those were ignored or given to the lonely, attractive receptionist, Zander started making pranks that ranged from a dead rat to bloody
DESPERATE THIRST FOR LOVE Chapter 20- RATED PG
Inwardly, Elvie could hear the god of all gods and goddesses rumbling, "Yup. She’s throwing me under the bus again." She made a mental note to put some chilli on Zander’s boxers later just to appease the real god of Olympus. "Oh, wifey dear, I’m not in the business of repeating myself," he seethed, ignoring her jab, and if she knew one thing about Zander, it was that he never passed up an opportunity to outwit her once she threw a jab at him. "And I don’t want you near him. Matheo’s intentions aren’t pure. Trust me, I know." "Oh, really, and yours are?" she huffed. "Look, I can’t—and won’t—ignore the SVP. He is also my boss, remember?" Zander bent down to bite her ear and groaned, "Oh, silly, little girl. I am the boss. The one and only. I’m the man who fucked you senseless before and I know you can’t stop thinking about. I’m the asshole you masturbate to in order to get off. I’m the guy who will destroy my competition, especially when it comes to that old cow. So, do yourself a fav
DESPERATE THIRST FOR LOVE Chapter 21- How dare you!
To say that Elvie was annoyed is an understatement. It had taken her almost an hour to sort her dress and clear her head before she called Bella for help. She told her that she got locked up inside the closet and had a panic attack. Luckily, Bella didn't ask her anything.She knew involving herself with Zander Asshole Stanton was a mistake, and what happened between them was beyond stupidity.Falling in love with Zander would be asking for the sort of trouble she helps other women extricate themselves from on a daily basis. Love does weird things to women. They got blindsided, hoodwinked, and charmed into looking at their men through rose-tinted glasses that failed to show up their faults until it was too late.Elvie wasn’t going to be one of those women—a victim of some man’s power game, leaving her as vulnerable as a rain-soaked kitten. "Listen, I appreciate your concern about my cubicle and my very important job to look at the monitors, such as they are, but I’m busy. Now, if you’l
DESPERATE THIRST FOR LOVE Chapter 22- It seems I don’t have any choice
Jesus, Elvie, what on earth are you doing? Stop responding to that man! You know better than that! Stop! The alarm bell of her conscience shattered the moment she pushed against his chest and stepped back to create some distance between them. "Stop! Don’t even think about it, Zander!" His mouth tilted in a knowing smile. "It's not like we haven't done it earlier. But okay, I’m a patient man. The longer I wait, the better the satisfaction." Wait for what? She pondered. Elvie had a feeling there would be a heck of a lot of satisfaction going on if she were to submit to his passion again. The sort of satisfaction that had mostly eluded her in her previous encounters. She wasn’t an expert at sex, or at least not with a partner. She could get things working fairly well on her own, but at least she had been able to fudge her way through it. So far. What happened to them earlier was stupid and damn her for thinking about it again.But she suspected Zander wouldn’t be fooled. Not for a m
DESPERATE THIRST FOR LOVE Chapter 23- Assistant's assistant.
Zander brought her chin up, so her gaze meshed with his. "Stay right by my side; you won’t regret it. I can guarantee it."You think? Huh! Stay right by his side and be naive every time he looked at her like he was about to devour her? Yeah right. Her hormones were on edge.However, Elvie brushed his hand away from her chin and took a step backward. "I’m not agreeing to this for any other reason than to save my friends. Are you absolutely clear on that?"Yeah, right. Whatever she was saying, she sure as hell didn't understand any of it while his hands felt so warm on her skin. Screw hormones; right now, all she ever wanted was his lips on hers.Zander’s eyes shone with a triumphant gleam that made the backs of her knees tingle. "But of course, wife."Elvie disguised a swallow, trying not to notice the way his eyes kept glancing at her lips. "When are you thinking of doing it? I mean, officially making me your assistant’s assistant?"Whatever the hell it was, her brain isn't working. H
