KATEHe returned a few minutes later, still shirtless, with a giant box with many files inside, which he placed on the table. Inside the box was also a bottle of wine and two glasses. “I need to take a shower, so feel free.”“Okay. Thank you.” My subconscious was shouting and almost begging me to go along. But I held a gun pointed at his head threatening him. He leaves me alone, with the image of him naked in the shower. Which is more than enough to drive me crazy. Imagining the water hitting his muscular body. Desire was exploding between my legs. Concentrate, Kate. You have to do your work. I stare at the box, realizing that I was wrong when I thought that the files were just an excuse to bring me to his house. This makes me a little sad, also because there were so many files. I kneel near the coffee table and pour myself a glass of wine, I begin to think about the various options I have to organize the archives. NATHANWhen I return to the living room, I have a vision of her on

KATEMy hands went automatically to my zipper. I couldn't deny it, my body needed it. "Come on," I said, taking off my shirt and hooking my hands on the waist of my pants, sliding them down my legs, and taking off my shoes with them. His eyes didn't leave my body for a second. As I stood up, I took a step toward him before he made me stop. "No. Naked. I want you naked," he said. I took off my bra and threw it anywhere. Holding the sides of the delicate white panties, I leaned forward to take them off. I felt the warmth of the fireplace hit my skin before finally reaching him. With my heart pounding in my ears, I mounted him on the couch, eliciting a moan from his throat.I longed for his touch, and felt his hot breath on my breasts, making me release a low moan. Holding my hips, he lay me down on some cushions and kissed me urgently. It was so good to feel his hot body on mine, his lips and tongue enveloping mine, arousing me with a wet, hot kiss.We kissed until we were forced to st

KATE Nathan lays me down on the bed, leaning over me. He wasn't proposing anything different. Just to keep having sex with the condition of not maintaining any relationship with another person. He wasn't asking me to be his girlfriend like Kent. Maybe I expected him to ask that after I told him about Kent. How pathetic. It's just sex. He's not in love with you. That's why I should stay away from him. I can't lie to myself anymore. I'm starting to feel something for him, something beyond sex. This is wrong, worse, it's impossible."Let me go, Ryan," I try to push him away."Say yes. No one will know, except for us.""This is ridiculous.""Why?""I'm not a fucking whore, Ryan!""I never said that.""But you want me to act like one. Having sex with you, my boss, in secret.""Why do you always insist on putting things that way?""Because that's how they are.""We're adults and even though I'm your boss, we know it doesn't affect anything at work. That's how things are. That's how you hav

KATE"Where were you?" I stare at Lisa on the sofa after closing the door."I was at a co-worker's house, I told you," lying and hiding things from Lisa had become frequent lately."Don't try to fool me, Kate. You can't lie.""I'm not lying. And I'm so tired now." I pout."You're not getting away that easily. I'm not going anywhere.""Fine. I'll tell you all about my wonderful night at Megan's after I rest a bit.""Rest while you can." She narrows her eyes."Love you." I head towards my bedroom."Me too, especially when you don't lie."Oh, Lisa, if I could tell you, I really needed some good advice. To start with, I just accepted Ryan's absurd proposal that involves some sort of relationship where sex is the primary element. And even though I know how wrong it is, I don't regret it. I'm happy somehow.Heavens! John! I had forgotten about him. What am I going to say to him? He hasn't messaged me. Maybe he's not so concerned about it, or maybe it's not so important to him. Or is he wait

KATE"Better from your headache?" Lisa comes out of the room after sleeping for a good while."Better." She sits next to me on the couch."And John? Did I ruin his night?""Of course not. We're just friends.""Why?""Just because.""I honestly don't understand you. He's ridiculously good-looking, hot, and cute. I thought he was exactly what you wanted. Is it because of your virginity issue?""Lisa, no!" God! She still thinks I'm a virgin. I couldn't even tell her how good it was. When will I be able to talk to her about everything again?"I really don't understand you. Oh, what was that noise earlier today?""My car finally arrived!""That's awesome! I thought it was supposed to arrive yesterday.""Yes, but I think there was a problem.""But back to the virginity issue. Don't you think it's time, Kate?""Stop it, Lisa." She laughs."I'm serious, Collins! You're getting old!""Are you kidding me? Take that back, Dickens! Now!" I jump on her and start tickling her."No, Kate! Stop!" We
