As Anna closed the door that led to Drake’s office, she replayed the earlier moment in her head and something inside her wondered if the man was doing fine.
“Ugh, I’m sure he is,” she spoke out instantly , shaking her head to get rid of that thing that was trying to act like she cared about the man.
Soon, she was downstairs, her bag slung over her shoulder, her feet tapping the ground gently as she walked slowly so as not to worsen her injury.
After a quick and satisfactory look around the space, Anna made for the elevator and soon, she was on the streets, waiting to flag down a taxi.
Once she got one, she resumed her journey to her house, thoughts about lying in bed for the rest of the day raiding her mind and delighting her.
And, she really needed the rest.
For some reasons, her sleep always got interrupted by some unknown force ever since she came back from the hospital. The lack of adequate sleep sucked, but what sucked more w
Her right breast was squished by something and Anna jumped out of her hasty reaction. While furiously questioning her action, Anna successfully pushed the drunk man off her, hoping that he was already on the path of becoming sober.With the nasty situation that just happened, she needed him out of her house before something crazier happens. And, she can only kick him out when he is sober.But, first, she had to stand upright, stay a few metres away from the man who was still sprawled on the floor. That thought was cut short before she could enact it.Drake pulled her into his chest with a force that she could not resist. With a frown, as Anna fell onto his chest and looked into his eyes, she tried to get off Drake whose lips were now wearing a smirk of victory.She tried once more, it didn’t budge.Then, all of a sudden, something lifted her from Drake’s hold, as gently as possible. But, when she landed on her feet and turned to see who
Anna was so concentrated on what she was typing, she did not sense Drake’s entry. Even as he stood right above her and stared at her, she didn’t suspect his existence.“Hi,” was all he said and she jolted out of the trance she was thanks to the document she was furiously working on.“Oh.” Anna sat up, correcting her slouched figure. “Good morning, Mr. Blunt.””Hmm,” he hummed and she wondered what his deal was.“Is there something I can help you with?” She was hoping he wouldn’t mention how he showed up at her door. It must be really embarrassing for him.Drake pocketed his hands into his brown shorts and…Anna frowned for a second as she realized that the man wore shorts to office. He is the boss, of course, he can wear a bikini if he wants to but Drake never struck her as the type of CEO to dress to office like he had fishing plans at dawn.&ldq
"What were you thinking, Anna? Were you trying to prove a point by going down there?" Drake was visibly trying to hide his anger as his gaze fell heavily upon Anna who was still trying to recover from the little heart toggle she had just experienced. "I know you hate me. I know you are constantly trying to show me that I should be suffering for my sins, but do you have to harm yourself to do so? Why are you so stubborn? Huh!" Anna said nothing still. Her eyes darted across the room which was part of a small building behind the main one. That small structure was where their running led them to and it didn't seem like they would be leaving anytime soon. Drake Blunt held her by her shoulders with a firm grip, Anna looked to the side. "Anna, speak to me. Say something." "I've been so unfair," came Anna's tiny voice. "How?" Drake was ready to forget the chaos in front of his company for a second. He was willing to hear words from the depth
"Are they still outside?" Drake asked Alex who closed the door after he had gone out to have a look at how disastrous it was out there."They have entered the building. Their noise has filled the entire lobby. How would we work if they keep this up?" Alex placed his hands on his waist, tiredness on his face."And why does it have to be when we have something very important to do?"Anna watched Drake keenly. She could tell how distressed he was even though he wasn't showing it. Something within her wanted to hug him again and assure him that everything would be over before he knew it.Anna frowned instantly. While she wondered why she kept thinking of hugging him, she wondered who the person that claimed to have evidence was.She wanted to know that person desperately. Of course, because it is related to her sister. But, also because it complicated matters.This claim easily contradicted Drake's claims that someone else was
"We should go upstairs so you can change your clothes," Drake calmly said from where he was. His buttocks were halfway seated on the edge of his desk, his arms folded as he watched Anna dab her wet body with the small towel he left in his office even though it had no use in the past.Well, it seemed like it finally found a use."Upstairs?" Anna asked, her distressed eyes wearing a different look that didn't make her seem entirely gloomy."Yeah," he grabbed his phone and keys, "there is a little penthouse on the last floor. I don't really use it. But there are days I don't wish to go home if you know what I mean."Anna nodded as she contemplated his suggestion. She looked down at her shirt which was now showing the outline of her bra. She definitely needed a hot bath and a change of clothes."So," she didn't sense him walk towards her, "are we going or not?""Uh..." She swallowed hard. "We can go there, I really need to change."
It was really crazy.It was as though she had some hidden need for Drake Blunt’s touch.Anna felt some flutteringin her stomach as Drake’s hands sneaked past the t-shirt she had on. His palms traveled slowly as he deepened the kiss they were sharing.He had her lay down on the couch, his chest slightly brushing the tip of her rising nipples, he caged his lower body between her legs and the intense moment went on for a while.Touching each other, Drake breaking their kiss occasionallyto pepper the sides of her neck with his lips and tongue, his hands slowly caressing the parts of her skin that made her release a moan, within all these, Anna just knewshe wanted more.And she was going to do it her way.Playfully, she pushed him off her. Drake had a look ofsurprise as he landed on the sofa suddenly, that too, in a seated position.Soon, Anna was straddling him and taking her t-shirt off at the same tim
The lady called Amelia must have expected a startled reaction from the occupant of the room. Anna’s stern look had her extremely unstable and her footsteps kept falling backwards as Anna moved closer with her arms folded.“I have so much to ask you,” Anna said.“Yeah?” Amelia cleared her throat, looking towards Drake who was still sleeping. “Is that why you are acting like a freak? Are you trying to beat me up to get your answers?”“I wish I could tie you up, you look like you have a foul mouth and it would be wise to tie you up before your legs act foully as well.””Are you threatening me?” the burnette asked, her pupils dilated with slight fear.“It depends. My first question,” Anna toned down her mean appearance, “how do you know Darcy Hendrick?””Who is asking?” Amelia eyed the woman in front of her Her question tested Anna&rsquo
After the incident at his father’s place, Drake felt it would be a while before he would find the will to go back there. But, after finding out that the man wasn’t his father, the thoughts of walking into that house were instantly erased.But, there he was.With an envelope tucked between his armpit, he ended his call with Alex who expressed concerns over the discovery of Damon, his quick journey to his father’s place, andthe contents in the envelope.Soon, he was walking towards the entrance, his hands feeling rather sweaty as he turned the knob.His father’s wife was the first person he met.“Drake, hi,” she greeted excitedly.“Hmm,” he hummed with no intention of engaging her in a conversation. He was walking past her when his steps were halted.“Drake, wait,” Agnes called.“What do you want?” Drake asked without turning. He also made sure he expre
