Eric closed the door behind him and fell into the leather chair. He stared at the drawing board and curled his hands into fists to fight the restlessness. He wants to be creative. He envisioned materials like limestone and brick, combined with undulating glass and sparkling smooth curves. Those images danced behind his closed eyelids at night, and here he is, the owner of the Dreamscape company, and stuck most of the day in board meetings. treat.He cursed under his breath. Okay, so the board members pissed him off, with the crappy tactics of the desk people and the ideas of the diggers. Most of them were against the contract for the waterfront project, believing that the company would go bankrupt if he took the job and couldn't meet it. And the board was right. You only have a simple solution.Don't let failure.Conte's party will take place this Saturday night and he still has nothing to secure a business meeting between them. Hyoshi Komo also did not call back. Trapped in a block,
Panicked, she threw the knitted bedspread over the chair and closed the door behind her. Then she darted up to the front room and stopped right in front of him. "Greet."He looked immediately suspicious. A lock of blond hair fell on his forehead and his eyes narrowed, as if he couldn't believe she could be so kind. Guilt writhed inside her, but she ignored it."Greet". He looked around the house and she held her breath. "What's up?""Nothing. I'm going to cook dinner. Unless you're tired and want to go to bed right now."One of his eyebrows shot up at her hopeful tone. "It's already six o'clock.""Yes. So, I suppose you have a lot of work to do, don't you? I'll bring you food upstairs to the office if you want."Now, he looked completely exasperated. "I've worked enough for today. Now I just want to relax with a glass of wine and watch the football game.""Is there a Mets team playing?""Don't know. They're not eligible to play in the playoffs anyway. But the Yanks still have a chance
Eric stood on the dock and watched a row of boats bobbing in the water. Irritated waves kept rising and crashing against the shore as a harbinger of winter. The orange sunset crept through the menacing darkness and splashed brightly into the light arch of the Beacon Newburgh bridge. He reached into his Armani jacket and inhaled the clean, fresh air. Calmness seeped through his body as he stared at the mountain he loved so much, and once again, he knew this was where he belonged.Ten years ago, this riverside area was plagued with drug dealers and addicts. The beautiful waterfront was littered with trash, the elegant brick buildings stood in the wilderness, their windows broken like a scream for help. Finally, investors also saw the potential of this area and began to throw money into a recovery dream.Eric and his uncle took the time to carefully monitor the project. Somehow, they suspected that a profitable opportunity would eventually come to Dreamscape. First a daredevil opened a b
She shoved him in the chest and turned, wanting to swing the knife at more than just the vegetables. A typical, arrogant Yankee fan. "I'll call when dinner's ready. Until then, I hope you'll be upstairs."His laughter echoed throughout the kitchen. Chills returned to her when he was gone. Carina reorganized his breathing as he began to walk up the stairs, and the dog remained still.She ran into the living room, turned on the baseball game, turned the volume up, and went into the back room to check on the dogs.The knitted bed sheet was torn to pieces.She removed it from the black labrador's teeth and tucked it into the bottom desk drawer. The sheets were dirty, so she cleaned them up, spread out fresh papers, and stacked a few more on the couch and chair just in case. She refilled the water bowls and figured they all had to go out for another hour before bed.She closed the door, rushed into the kitchen, and finished dinner while shouting commentary to her players.Eric went down to
He pulled his mouth away from hers to bite lightly at the delicate curve of her neck. A shiver ravaged her body, and he let out a satisfied whisper as he moved lower to be treated on her breasts, his tongue licking the sharp tip, biting lightly. while she writhed against the wall and urged him. His mouth opened to cover her and he savored, sucking hard on her strawberry-colored nipples as his hands slid from her back to cup the curves of her ass, pressing her hips against the bulging length. Up hard, pounding throbbing begging to be let in."Eric, I-""Don't tell me to stop."He looked up. Her breasts slid out of his mouth, her nipples hard and aroused by his interest. Her stomach quivered. Her puffy lips parted, allowing her ragged, broken breaths to escape.Her eyes were dark and deep, drowning out the blue as she stared locked in his eyes. A second passed as he waited. One moment. A century."Do not stop."She pulled his head down and kissed him. He had ravaged the flesh of her lip
Eric struggled to stay calm with his wife's speech. The itch just between his shoulder blades warned him that she was hiding more than she pretended to be. He knew this moment could open up a new direction and that it wouldn't be cheap if he took just one step away from the rationality of his scheme.He pushed the nagging thought away and looked at her. Over the past few days, he realized that she was becoming more and more beautiful to him. From the shimmer in her eyes, from her smile to her warm soul. Their conversation opened doors he thought were locked, but the result was a strange flurry of emotions that made him feel uncomfortable—and never will be. She is a woman who needs a solid relationship. Damn it, she's the woman who deserves it too. But he can only give her sex and friendship. Not love.He decided that many years ago. The price to pay is too great.So Eric stood watching the thin line between them splinter again with so many mixed emotions and so many damn regrets.He f
Carina closed her eyes and fought with despair, fatigue to the bone.She sat in an old yellow Volkswagon with the windows rolled up and Prince's music blasting on her radio. The bank parking lot was now empty as five minutes turned into an hour and was still ticking. She stared out of her windshield and fought back the bitter taste of defeat and disappointment that corroded her stomach like acid.No loan.Once again.Yes, BookCrazy is doing well and she has just turned a profit. But the bank was not thrilled with the idea of pouring money into her business, now that she was almost broke, with no collateral and no savings and no money. whatever supports her. She thought about her favorite Sex & the City episode and wondered how many pairs of shoes she'd gotten. Then realized she didn't even have much.Of course, Mr. Her big is a real husband and with just a little tweak on the loan agreement she will succeed. She wondered what if she hadn't become stupid and too self-respecting to us
His complete change made her hesitate, but she ignored it. Now the empty bowl was mocking her. Damn, what did she do?"I'm glad you mentioned the contract," he said. "There was a small problem that arose but it has now been resolved."Maybe she'll do a few more exercises on the treadmill. Lift a little more gravity. Maybe she'll even go back to yoga classes."I'm not going to say anything but I want to be honest. You probably won't even care."She wanted to call Anna tomorrow and ask him to boxing. This sport will burn more calories and is good for self-defense."Gabriella kissed me."Her head jerked up. "What did you say?"He shrugs. "She called and wanted to see me. She said she was moving to California. I wasn't the starter, so I guess that was the idea for her goodbye kiss. End of story. ."Her eyes narrowed. His outward indifference seemed to be covering up a truth that lay deep within. But she also knew how to figure it out and make the whole thing clear."A goodbye kiss, huh? S
