I rested my head against the back of the sofa while panting, watching him take off all his clothes and then grab my body again. He lifted my body and turned it around, positioning me on his lap while he was already sitting on the sofa. My heart raced as I felt River's hard thighs pressing against my soaked groin, his hands guiding mine to his erection. I gasped, my eyes widening as he gently guided my hand, showing me what to do. I tentatively wrapped my fingers around him, my cheeks flushing at the sensation of his hardness in my hand. He smiled, his eyes never leaving mine as he pushed my hand further, guiding me to stroke him. I moved my hand up and down, slowly at first, then picking up the pace as I felt his breath quicken and his eyes fill with desire. "You have no idea how much I've wanted this," River groaned. I couldn't help but smile. I wasn't sure I could ever be enough for him, but if this was what he wanted, I would do everything in my power to give it to him. I squeez
My eyes opened when I feel River's body pressed against mine. The first sight I saw was River's broad chest, and I felt his arm wrap tightly around my waist. Several spots on my body were sore, and my cheeks were instantly flushed when I remembered our steamy activities last night. "Wake up, sleepyhead," he whispered, his lips brushing against my ear. I yawned and stretched, feeling his arm tighten around me as my body reacted to his touch. "What time is it?" I mumbled, snuggling closer to him. River chuckled softly and nuzzled my neck. “It’s you-will-late o’clock,” he replied. “What?” Realization hit me instantly. With quick movements, I got up and looked around for any object that could tell time. And my gaze stopped on the square clock on the small bedside table. "Why didn't you wake me up from earlier?" My gaze languished on the 8.42 numbers that flickered futuristically in the box's black color. “I'm kidding. It's Saturday, you're not awake yet?” he said with a soft chuckled.
I had no idea about the status of the agreement I had with River. Would it be void now that our relationship was no longer an act? Wait, I'm even more confused about the actual status of our relationship. Was our relationship still based on symbiotic mutualism? Were we a real couple like any other normal person? A relationship based on feelings? Well, what were my feelings for him? River never mentioned his feelings for me either. He just said he wanted me, moments before we started having sex. Maybe River was just referring to his biological desire to fuck me. "Hey!" A hand shaking in front of my face suddenly made me realize where I was. I was in River's car, which was parked in the basement of Pamela Magazine's building. Back at breakfast, River had asked to take me to go to work again. He said it was fun: going to work together and going home together. "What are you thinking about that much, hmm?" I shook my head with a smile, feeling his poke on my nose. "It's nothing." River
Since neither I, Cody, nor Sasha—the chosen ones from the Advertising Department—had brought a car to the office, Lukas generously borrowed us his red Volvo to drive to River Lynch's office."Where is your car anyway?" Cody, who was driving, asked."It's being repaired," I lied, silently signaling Cody not to talk about it further because there was someone else who could hear.Shasa sat in the back seat. She was focused on studying Cody's notes while opening her tablet. She had represented the advertising division twice at the Sèduisant brand anniversary project team meeting. Cody chose the right person. Or maybe it wasn't Cody who chose her? Either she volunteered or the Head of the Advertising Department assigned her.Cody nodded at my perfunctory answer, though even from the side of his face I could tell he was smiling meaningfully. "What's broken?" he asked again, testing. God, I wanted to crack his head!"I don't really know," I replied irritably, then an idea popped into my head
Richard opened a door that was slightly different from the others and motioned for me to enter. And the first thing I see was River sitting behind his desk. He was no longer wearing his suit, which I later saw was hanging on a standing hanger by the large window behind his desk."What would you like to discuss, Mr. Lynch?" I asked politely, anticipating that there was someone else in the room.With a smooth motion, River rose from his chair. "A lot," he replied as he walked towards me. I'm lost in how time seems to slow down as he steps closer to me. "There's a lot I want to discuss," he said again, his voice soft in my ear. He pulled me close, his hand cupping my cheek, and I felt like I was hypnotized by the warmth of that touch.My knees suddenly felt like jelly when his lips pressed against mine, and I would have collapsed backwards if his hands hadn't been wrapped tightly around my waist. "What if someone—""No one will know," he cut in and grabbed my lips again."But Richard?" I
"So, Richard does know about us?" I asked as I fiddled with the buttons on his pajamas. We were on River's bed, lying down with his big arm under my head."Something like that," he replied simply, his hand playing with my brown hair."You could have just sent me a text message to see you. Why did you have to get Richard to lie?""It's you who doesn't want people to know about us, isn't it?" he retorted calmly. I recalled where I had said to River about people in my office not needing to know about my relationship with River—which at the time referred to an on-agreement relationship. However, even though Cody (only Cody) knew about my relationship with River back then, he still didn't know that our relationship was different now. "It would make more sense to your colleagues if I brought up the work thing.""You have a point...," I muttered, looking at his face which was displaying a smug look, as if to say "of course I have". Although a little annoyed, but I didn't mind it, after all i
Reminder!December 10, 20xxArt Exhibition at Urban Visions Art Gallery at 8pm. NB: Addy will murder you if you don't show up.I stare at the screen of my phone lying on the makeup table. That's right. This was Addy's special day. I then searched for Addy's contact, intending to send her a text message.(This is a big day for you! Stay upbeat and confident, I hope everything goes smoothly and successfully. I know you can do it! I love you!)Right after I put the phone back on the table, River came out of the walk in closet. He had put on a dark gray suit in which he wore a navy blue shirt and a striped tie. Oh my God, why is he so hot? I then shook my head, trying to come back to reality.River grinned when he caught my expression. "You know, don't you, that you can kiss me anytime if you want?"I hurriedly shifted my gaze to the vanity mirror, pretending to fix my hair with a small grunt. It wasn't until later that I remembered what my brain had wanted me to do since a few seconds ag
"Are you okay if I go now?" I asked Addy, feeling bad. "Hey, it's fine, really, the event will be over soon too." Addy rubbed my arm comfortingly. "You should go. River needs you.” Addy said her last sentence while deliberately glancing at Evan.I sighed, knowing she was right. "Alright, thanks.” As if remembering something, I reached into my bag quickly, took out the car keys and handed them to Addy. "Here, drive my car. I'll text you when I get there." I gave her a quick hug and turned to leave after glancing at Cailin who had not only been silent since earlier, as if she was not part of us, as if she was trying to make herself invisible.I made my way out of the gallery and towards Evan's car, feeling conflicted about our sudden reunion. Wait, I didn't know he had a car. Arrgh.Trying to get out of the awkward situation, I started to ask, "What exactly happened? Is she okay?”"Sharon's condition is stable," Evan replied, his voice tense. "But she needs constant care, and River's
