Charles's POVAt the precise moment my mouth hits hers, I feel as if I lose control of myself, and put my composure aside.Her lips feel like velvet between mine, her breath is extremely delicious and refreshing and the touch of his hands on my chest still with my shirt on, just makes me want to get rid of it, to feel her touch directly on my skin.I can't help myself, and in consequence of the fierceness of our kiss, I grab her hips, urging her to wrap her legs around me.As I pull away for only a few seconds, it is impossible for me not to notice how her dress has ridden up almost to her waist, leaving her underwear on display. I have to command myself not to go any further, thanks to the image which has inevitably given me an erection.I continue our contact, thrusting my tongue into her mouth, and she manages to keep up with me perfectly. I immediately tug on her lower lip, causing her to grip strands of my hair tightly."Why?" I hear her ask in between gasps, taking advantage of
"You didn't bring someone into the room, did you?" Eva says, making me widen my eyes with exaggeration."What?" I exclaim, feigning indignation at her words. "Of course I didn't! Surely the smell came from someone outside and since I left the window open, it got in here.""I know, doll, I'm just kidding," she replies with a laugh. "But just so you know I have no problem with you wanting to, you know, have fun in the apartment. As long as you know damn well who you're doing it with.""Oh, okay?" I stammer looking for the sensible response to this. "Let's change the subject.""Okay." She lets out a chuckle."You know, I think I'm going to need to go shopping, I don't have a lot of formal clothes and starting tomorrow, I'll need them.""We can go out now, and while we're at it we can go eat.""Sounds perfect," I replied."Then I'll wait for you outside," she says, leaving the room.Once I make sure Eva is no longer nearby, I run to where I have my perfumes, and start spraying one of them
"My parents are coming today," Anna says as she tends to the baby.It wasn't easy being a father, but I think I was adjusting well to it.Vittoria is worth it."I don't mind them doing it, as long as it's only to see my daughter, and not fuck with me by saying whatever bullshit they can come up with.""I told them to keep their comments, so you don't need to repeat that to me," she says reluctantly."I hope you stress it to them when they come over, especially your father, because I'm sick of hearing them talk shit in my house."Anna in response rolls her eyes, however, I play it down by leaning back next to her to grab my cell phone."A few days ago you asked me a question," she says suddenly, regaining my attention."What question?" I say, confused, because I honestly don't remember."Why she was in the hospital," she replies, making my body tense up."I don't care.""But you wanted to know.""I told you I don't care about the reason anymore, Anna. And you should be glad about that.
I bend down to pick up all the sheets to put them inside the folder, feeling fucking embarrassed, and as I'm about to take the last document, someone else's hand meets mine in the act of wanting to grab the same document.I don't even have to look at his face to recognize him. It is Sebastien, who has approached to help me, placing the remaining sheet in the folder."Are you all right?" he questions."Yes," I affirm, standing up before leaving, observing once again Alessandro, who has hardened his expression upon noticing the presence of Sebastien."Excuse me," I murmur.As I pass by that red-haired girl, I find it impossible to miss the look of displeasure she gives me, however, I try not to determine it and continue on my way.When I finally enter the elevator and the doors close, I feel I can expel all the contained air. I lean against the wall and close my eyes to calm my breathing.I feel my whole body weaken, especially my hands, which are shaking uncontrollably.Once again he i
Luckily, Sean and Paul keep me from moving forward, preventing me from nearly having a heart attack from the shock.But it is only a fleeting relief, as anger seems to have taken hold of that man, and he manages to break free from the two guys, to immediately go around the table and go to hit Sebastien as if he had gone crazy."Ale!" I emit a resounding shout as I land a punch on Sebastien's cheek.Everything seems to happen in slow motion from there on, my mind is clouded and all I think is that a catastrophe will happen, when I see his feint to hit him again, until Sebastien manages to recompose himself, returning the impact that ends up on Alessandro's lips, causing a large amount of blood to spurt from them and splatter on his white shirt.I am about to try to do something to intervene, but Isabella grabs my arm preventing me from moving. On top of that, Charles enters the room and Alessandro, upon seeing him, is livid, his face flushed with anger."Why am I not surprised that you
A new day at the company, not knowing what awaits me today.Yesterday I was lost after what I heard and although I had calls from my boss and Eva, my mind was too agitated and conflicted to give a coherent answer.Thank goodness I am now determined to cut off any kind of non-working relationship with Charles, because the conversation I overheard had made my hair stand on end.This time I did arrive with Eva after arranging everything with her, and now I am already in my workspace. Everything has gone excellent with the Prasad drinks and that technically has been a ray of light in the midst of everything that has happened here."Claudia," they say and as I turn up, my eyes catch Isabella.I immediately tense up at the sight of her. I don't feel at all the same way about her since what I heard yesterday, and it makes me uncomfortable with her presence, coupled with the fact that she has no reason to be here after she was promoted."Good morning," I greet her with the mere intention of n
I don't look up and all the time I keep my eyes fixed on the plate, even if I don't taste anything. I feel too uncomfortable and nervous.Even though I try to ignore the situation, I find it impossible not to pay attention to what they say."Alessandro, how are your lips still?" asks Isabella."Fine," he replies, curtly."They seem to hurt a lot.""I've endured more painful things," he replies, paralyzing me for an instant at his words."Claudia," I hear Paul name me, so I have no choice but to raise my face to them all. "Are you all right?""Of course," I reply with a smile that doesn't come out at all genuine."I see you haven't tasted anything else from your plate.""I just feel full," I say dodging her gaze."You're lying," I hear suddenly from the person I've tried my best to avoid, despite having him in front of me, feeling his intense stare every second."I'm not," I say with my eyes on dessert."Do you really want to fool me?," he questions, hardening his voice and leaving eve
"Claudia Rodriguez," I hear someone call, capturing my attention.As I look up from the computer, I am surprised to see a man carrying a huge bouquet of flowers."It's me," I reply somewhat hesitantly and the guy, who I assume is a delivery man, approaches me."A present for you," he says, holding out the giant flower arrangement to me.Somewhat hesitantly, I take the bouquet that covers me almost completely, and I couldn't be more amazed to see and feel the scent emanating from all these flowers up close.I look around me and my companions in the area do not hide the expression of impression and bewilderment on their faces."Sign here, please," asks the gentleman, placing the heavy bouquet on my desk.I take the pen to sign for the delivery."Have a nice day, miss," he says goodbye and then leaves the room.Before everyone's eyes, I detail the beautiful arrangement in wonder, and noticing the card in the middle of the flowers, I take it immediately.I suppose it is too much to descri
