~Agathe~"What the hell was that all about, Agathe? Care to fucking enlighten me?" With unwavering rage in his voice, Gunther asked. He was breathing heavily, clenching his fists, and closing his eyes for a second to contain his anger. I had a hard time understanding his actions since I was confident that what I did was the best thing to do. He dragged me out of the conference room just a moment ago and ruthlessly shoved me inside a storage area.I suddenly found myself surrounded by filing cabinets and office furniture filled with a variety of papers, supplies, and copy materials. My mind was in a daze because I was still processing what happened after I had initiated a kiss with him in front of those scary people wearing sparkling suits and corporate dresses. [Flashback]When I gazed into Gunther's mesmerizing dark-amber eyes, it was like I was seeing deep inside his soul.My heart was beating so quickly and when I closed my eyes and leaned in to claim his lips, everything felt
~Gunther~"Should we become friends instead?" Out of the blue, Agathe asked as though I had not just told her how I felt. Hold on. What the fuck is she talking about? "Forgive me but I don't feel the same way about you." I blinked in confusion, my body was getting numbed by the second, unable to believe what I had just heard from her mouth.She had just told me that I could have at least tried, so why is she saying that now? I could see how badly she wanted me as well from the look in her eyes. So, why on earth is she uttering such rubbish? I have never had to deal with rejection before in my life. It was something I do to other people, not the other way around. I had turned down a ton of business deals, women who almost threw themselves at me, and those people who begged me not to kill them whenever I was bored.Agathe kept shedding tears, but I won't be fooled by that for much longer. "Are you indeed rejecting me?" "I'm sorry. I just can't-" I bit my lower lip in annoyance, cu
~Agathe~I never realized how much I had fallen for Gunther until I watched him stand close to the woman who was arranged to marry him before. My heart suddenly weighed so heavily that I could barely make myself move, much less feel anything. She was the oldest De Luca, the one Yesenia had told me about. "You cannot just walk into my office and act as though you have every right to do so, Geraldine." Gunther was clenching his jaw tightly as he spoke, his voice sounded so furious. The woman smiled seductively, and compared to me, she appeared incredibly sophisticated and elegant. All of a sudden, I feel very small and unconfident.Yesenia claimed that the woman was over forty by the time she and Gunther were about to get married four years ago. But at that moment, all I could make out was that she almost appeared to be Gunther's age. She looked absolutely fine compared to her age. "My father, as far as I can remember, is one of the biggest shareholders in this company, Percival. T
~Gunther~Agathe was about to close her eyes and lie down on the table but I laughed out of nowhere. My eyes were blazing with desire, but I had to fight the urge to taste her. I was so angry right now that I wanted to fucking punish her."Funny how even though you rejected me, you still believed I could give you the kind of pleasure that every woman in this city would give anything to have." She immediately reddened in shame, and I suddenly thought of the night I had drenched her face in a bucket of icy water.The reaction I received from her that evening was the same as her reaction right now. Smirking, I stood up and collected my things while she struggled to cover herself. "Let's go back to my office. I still have plenty of work to accomplish." I didn't wait for her reaction, I just turned around and marched straight for the door, leaving her astounded and fuming. Serves her right for breaking my heart. Before reaching for the knob, I looked back at her again and menacingly
~Agathe~I never imagined I needed to see Gunther knead pasta dough with his bare hands while only wearing his pants. Goodness gracious. His physique is beyond anything I have ever seen. Even his six-pack appeared to have been meticulously carved like a Greek deity.Even if I didn't want to, my cheeks flushed in embarrassment and something else. All of a sudden, I felt hot and out of breath. I then noticed that the pasta dough he was kneading had become overly dry. I knew because I had occasionally helped in the kitchen when I was still working at that teensy restaurant in Snowflake Village. Hence, to make it cohesive and smooth again, Gunther sprinkled some water on his fingers and continued kneading the dough. I found myself gasping as I watched him in silence. Out of nowhere, my nipples tingled when I imagined that he was kneading my breasts instead of the dough. God. I suddenly hate my mind. Why am I feeling this right now? I glanced at the sweatshirt I was wearing that I
~Agathe~My heart was pounding as I realized I could no longer keep my feelings hidden.I poured all of what I was feeling into our kiss, with my eyes shut close, not giving a damn about the world. Gunther's lips were warm and soft against mine. Time stood still and I felt butterflies dancing in my stomach.It was so excruciatingly magical that I felt a tear fall from my eye.And, because I was so small compared to Gunther's height, I had to tiptoe and he instinctively placed his hand behind me for support.He sucked my lower lip, compelling me to open my mouth. He used that opportunity to invade my mouth ferociously. Before I knew it, our tongues were battling for dominance. Gunther groaned loudly and it was music to my ears. Just as I was starting to savor the way he was making me feel, he quickly drew away from our kiss and took his sweatshirt off of me in one swift motion. Now, I am topless! He can freely see my bare tits! "Gunther. ."He placed his finger on my lips to silenc
~Agathe~When morning came, I woke up brimming with such joy that I momentarily forgot all the troubles burdening my heart. All I could think of was Gunther and how we cuddled on the carpeted floor of the library after what we did last night. My face heated up as I began kicking the air and tossing and turning on the bed, trying not to scream too loudly. "Damn, I couldn't believe I made love to Gunther so many times." I whispered in the air. I felt like I was dreaming. It felt weird but somehow familiar. As if I had done this with him before, even though I knew it couldn't be possible.I then sat up, realizing that I was on Gunther's bed, dressed in his clothes. I recalled him cleaning me up last night before I blacked out.He took care of me and just thinking about it made my heart skip a beat again. I looked around his room, perhaps to thank him, but he was not there. I was about to get up when I noticed Carlyle entering the room with a big smile on her face. "Good morning, Mo
~Agathe~Carlyle was gasping for air, drowning, while those other little girls simply laughed at her. The class had barely started ten minutes ago and things were already taking a turn for the worse.Tears streamed down my face as I sprinted down the bleachers as quickly as I could. My only thought was to save Carlyle and get her out of the water.However, before I could even reach the edge of the pool, Calixto had beaten me to it, diving fearlessly into the water. In a matter of seconds, Calixto had swum over to Carlyle, scooping her petite frame into his arms. Carlyle was sobbing and trembling uncontrollably as she clung tightly to Calixto.I was so stunned that I couldn't move for a few moments. My heart was racing, pounding against my chest, and I could still feel the tears streaming down my face.I only came back to my senses when I saw Calixto swimming back toward us. As he approached the pool's edge, Yesenia and I rushed to help him lift Carlyle out of the water.I took off my
