The words hadn’t really registered with me. I sat there, blinking at him dumbly as a silence fell over the opulent room. The only sound was the faint noise of the Sunday morning traffic.
He wasn’t looking at me, instead staring out towards the window.I wanted to ask him if I’d heard correctly, but I knew I had. He had said it as clear as he could. I didn’t pretend to know a lot about suicide, but you didn’t have to be an expert to know how devastating it could be for the people left behind. It made me look at the man before me in a new light. Not only had he lost his father in this way, but he’d then had to step up and take over the company. Had he even had time to grieve?
“Ezra…” I managed. “I am so sorry.”
He sniffed and took a breath. “It is what it is.”
“Can I ask why?”
He shrugged, as if I’d asked him what the weather was like. I know this w

“Are you sure you don’t want to stay tonight?”I was tempted. I couldn’t deny it. But I also knew I needed to face the real world again. Ezra had saved me without a doubt, but it was time to go back to university. It was time to go back to my shoe-box of a room.“Yeah. I have a ton of work to catch up on, and I know you will too.”I raised an eyebrow at him. I knew full well how much work must have backed up for him since he got me on Thursday.Sighing, he nodded. “Yeah. And then some after this board meeting tomorrow…” he trailed off, his fingers gripping on a little tighter to the steering wheel.“Let me know how it goes will you? I’d like to know.”He smiled. “Sure. I’ll call you tomorrow evening.”I bit down on my lip. Now the time had come to get out of his car and leave him, my body suddenly felt like it was stuck to his passenger side sea

I couldn’t believe he’d done it. On one hand, I wanted to be angry with him for getting involved when I’d asked him not to, but I also was unbelievably grateful I wouldn’t have to see Matt again. After all, he was lucky he’d only lost his job. If I’d gone to the police, I could have pressed charges.I didn’t know how to reply to Ezra, so I left it alone. I messaged him telling him I needed to get on with some work, and good luck for the following day with the meeting.I quickly sent a message to Vanessa too and arranged to meet up with her the following afternoon. She’d been going crazy at me via text for the past week. She knew something was going on, and I had been intentionally vague. Considering everything that had happened, I needed to tell her in person.I spent the rest of the day making my way through the work I had to catch up on, although I had to battle my head many times to stop thinking about him and t

My Tuesday passed with agonizing slowness. Thankfully, no one pressed me about my absence. I was surprised that Emma didn’t throw some snide remark my way, but she practically ignored me. Maybe she had moved onto terrorizing someone else.I almost skipped out of my halls to his car when the time came. My stomach began doing flips when I saw him waiting for me. As soon as I was close enough, I was pulled into him, his mouth eager against my own.“Mmm,” he murmured. “It’s good to see you.”I smiled into his lips, letting myself sink into his scent. He was still wearing his shirt from work, and I pressed my palms against the fabric that highlighted the muscles underneath. I still felt like I had to pinch myself every time he touched me.When we got back to his apartment, he took my things from me quickly, pushing me in the direction of his bedroom.“Wait…are we working in your room then?” I cast a

I pulled open the buckle on his trousers, the clip clinking against its metal frame as it fell open. My fingers slipped while trying to pull down the zip, and I realised how eager I was to get to him. He raised himself up a little so I could drag his clothes down, the wonderful member springing free.Without being asked, I ran my hand up and down the length. He had teased me plenty, now it was my turn. He watched me hungrily as I stroked him, each movement exposing the tip of his cock which was beginning to glisten.“Put the condom on me.”I looked up, a little taken aback. “But I don’t know…”“I’ll show you.”He handed me the foil packet, and I looked at it as if it was Rubik’s cube.“Tear it open, and hold it firmly by the tip.”I tried to the follow the instructions as best I could, but straddling him naked was hardly conducive to a good learning environment.

I never ever bit my nails, but for some reason, I was doing it tonight. I kept checking the time, wondering when he would be home. As soon as it had turned 5pm I’d given up on work and put on the TV. Not that I was really watching it.As soon as I heard the front door open, I leapt out of my seat and skidded towards the front door. He gave me a bemused look as I crashed into him.“Hello to you too…what’s the emergency?”I rolled my eyes. “I just want to know how it went!”He laughed a little. “Alright. Can I take my jacket off and put my bag down first?”“I suppose.”We went into the kitchen, and I attempted to wait patiently while he settled down next to me.He took a deep breath. “It went well as could be expected. They tried to trip me up a couple of times with questions. Some twat with a with a top knot tried to insinuate I was lying to get some free publicit

The vibrator was lying on the bed next to us. He picked it up, his thumb flicking the switch on to the first setting. It hummed in his hands, and I stilled, as if I expected it to give me an electric shock when it touched my skin. He brought it closer and closer to my breast, hesitating just before it came into contact with my nipple. When it finally buzzed against me, I gasped. The sensation of the cool coating vibrating made my pussy get even wetter. It also reminded me how good the last time had been. He traced it from my breast, down my stomach, all the way to the slit between my legs. I let my head rest against his chest, closing my eyes to enjoy the moment.“You take over now.”I took a deep breath and allowed him to place the item between my shaking fingers. I almost dropped it, the adrenaline was pumping through my veins so hard. He returned his hands to my breasts, the action making me realise how much I actually wanted to touch myself. Witho

I was shaking so much that I dropped the paper. It fluttered to the floor, the harmless inanimate sheet flying through the air as if it didn’t have the disturbing message written upon it. Not wanting anyone to see, I bent down to retrieve it before shutting my front door and locking it.For fear of fainting, I sat down on my bed, doing my best to regulate my breathing. I wasn’t sure how long I sat there, but the next thing I knew my phone was ringing. I answered it, finding his soothing voice travelling down the other end.“I’m outside. Are you ready?”“S-someone, someone has left a note for me.” I stuttered.“I’m coming up.”I knew by the tone in my voice he could tell I was upset. Five minutes later he was knocking on my door.“It’s me Rosie, open up.”I went to the door to find him standing on the other side with a concerned look on his face.&ldqu

When we finally sat down to breakfast, I couldn’t help but let my mind wander back to the note. I ate the omelette he had made us in thoughtful silence.Noticing, he asked what I was thinking about.“The message…do you think we should contact the police?”Ezra shook his head. “No. Let me handle it for now. If we tell the police they won’t allow me to investigate myself.”I frowned at him. “But how are you going to do that?”“Rosie, don’t you remember I’m a billionaire?” He raised his eyebrow at me, before placing his knife and fork down on the empty plate. “I can hire people to look into it.”“…legally?”He began to laugh. “Yes Rosie. I’ll hire a PI that I know. I’m a CEO, not a gang lord.”I narrowed my eyes at him. “I just wanted to check.”He leaned back in his chair, his ex
