Alyssa opened her eyes feeling Nicholas’s warm mouth on hers. Was she dreaming or was it Nicholas really kissing her? Unconsciously, her arms went round his neck and she pulled him closer, opening her mouth to him, to take as much as she could. After dreaming of him the whole night, it was only normal that she needed this to keep thoughts of him out of her head throughout the day. His lips were on fire as he plunged his warm tongue into her mouth, tasting her, devouring her, branding her with his touch. Despite being intensely passionate, there was a sensual quality as if he too had been longing to kiss her for a long time. Their mouths battled with each other for dominance, not getting enough of one another. After weeks of lusting after her, Nicholas didn’t want the kiss to end. Her soft moans and the way her fingers played with his hair, were enough to drive him crazy. The kiss wasn’t enough, he needed more. His hands wandered to her stomach, touching the smooth skin under her top
“Why are you frowning at my mobile phone?” asked Nicholas as he emerged from the bedroom, looking hot and dashing as always in a crisp black business suit. “Why didn’t you tell me that Alexander has been threatening you?” she demanded. Nicholas gave her a look of disbelief as if she was asking the dumbest question ever. “When did he do otherwise? I won’t take his shit seriously and stop working, nor will I hide in my house out of fear. It’s best to ignore him and get on with my life. I’ll deal with whatever he throws my way. I’m not doing anything wrong then why should I have to accept his threats?” demanded Nicholas, annoyed by the topic. Alyssa nodded, knowing he was right. She followed him to the door and soon they were marching towards the conference room. Nicholas didn’t attempt to talk or tease her and Alyssa somehow had the feeling that he was upset about something. Maybe she could ask him after the meeting. They reached the conference room fifteen minutes early and their cl
Alyssa gasped at his candid declaration. How did her words always backfire? She hadn’t foreseen this turn of events at all. Her breath hitched when his hands bunched at her hips and pulled her body flush against his. “Nicholas..” she started but he placed a finger to her lips to quieten her, his face dipping dangerously close “Shh! You can’t stop me from enjoying my candy now,” he said in a hoarse whisper. Alyssa could feel the spark between them, ready to burn them both. It was too intense to be ignored and before she could say another word, his thumb parted her lips expertly and he crashed his lips to hers. This time there wasn’t any tenderness in the kiss. It was a brutal and punishing one intended to do what he just admitted. Enjoy his candy which was her mouth! He ravished her, devoured her, his tongue tasting every recess hungrily yet it wasn’t enough. He needed more. Grinding his hard arousal into her, he tangled his fingers into her hair to dominate the kiss further. His int
Nicholas pulled on a pair of gray chinos and paired them with a black dress shirt. He was acutely aware of Alyssa’s hungry gaze fixed upon him all the time. He had wanted her to see him, to desire him, to long for him, just the way he longed for her. He deliberately did not strip completely as he had initially intended to. He wanted to build up the heat knowing that she was as eager as him. He noted the look of disappointment on her face as she looked away and concentrated on her phone. Did his plan work? Did she feel the desperation? Would he get what he wanted from her? Would he finally be able to make love to her tonight, the way he wanted to? Ready, he emerged from the bedroom, his eyes connecting to hers when she looked up. “Let’s go. Sorry to keep you waiting,” he teased and she rolled her eyes knowing exactly what he meant. “No problem. I enjoyed the wait,” she smiled, playing along. A shot of excitement coursed up his body hearing her candid admission.“I’m glad that I could
Alyssa ran towards the elevator not wanting to create a scene at the pool. No, she could heal her broken heart all alone. She didn’t need to disturb Nicholas with her unwanted feelings. Quickly getting into the elevator, she made her escape in the blink of an eye. She had no wish to go to their bedroom and spend another night with him. Wandering off to the ground floor, she walked out of the hotel towards the Marina Bay Promenade a few minutes away. It was a clear evening and the sun had just set, a perfect time to enjoy the sights around the place. Nicholas wore his clothes and rushed after her down the elevator to his room. After having a few pegs of whiskey, he had completely forgotten that he had asked her to accompany him tonight. He unlocked the door of their suite room but surprisingly she wasn’t there anywhere. “Are you sure that she has come here?” asked Seth, his school buddy who lived here in Singapore with his wife Everly, who was also a close friend to Nicholas. They ha
“I’ve cleared the room and food bills, and now you’re moving back with me.” With that, he walked out of the room with all her stuff. Alyssa stood there in disbelief. Instead of wooing her with a million excuses and explanations, how could he just dictate to her around? She shook her head, chiding herself for falling in love with such a weirdo. The housekeeping staff came inside to clean up and she rushed out after Nicholas. She would maintain her distance till he explained his last night's behavior to her. She stormed into Nicholas’s room, but the wonderful aroma of food hit her nose and she realized how hungry she was. “We aren’t here on a vacation. Just eat up and let’s get ready for the press conference,” he said gruffly, pouring himself some coffee. Alyssa rolled her eyes, noting his foul mood. Shouldn’t she be the one to be upset? Sulking, she sat down and munched a sandwich disinterestedly, without bothering to even look at him.“Did your cat die last night? What’s the matter
“Now the entire world will know that we’re in a relationship. Alexander and dad will know that I’m in Singapore with you and they’ll now be after your blood. I’ll be grounded like a teenager for no fault of mine! What have you done, Nicholas?” demanded Alyssa as she slumped onto the couch opposite him. Already at her wit's end, Alyssa covered her face with her hands, not wanting to face the reality. “I’ve already told Alexander that we are in a relationship, remember? So this shouldn’t shock him at all!” Nicholas defended himself. “That was different. He took it as a joke!” she pointed out. “I didn’t mean it as a joke.” “It wasn’t real anyway, Nicholas. That’s the reason Alexander didn’t react much, but this time, the entire world will know about it,” she explained as a feeling of dread clutched at her heart. “I’m sure Anthony won’t tell a soul. He’ll try to find out the truth.” Alyssa sighed, knowing that Nicholas was equally worried that Anthony would publish it in the celebrit
Nicholas gazed at her angelic face, her soft pink lips that unknowingly confessed her deepest feelings for him. It was the last thing he had expected to hear, and it made his heart skip a beat with anticipation that maybe she would give their relationship a chance. After getting a taste of her, he was so drunk in her sweetness that the prospect of having a relationship with her pleased him a lot. He knew he needed to make love to her again or he would die! Being in a relationship with her would give him ample chance to do what his heart desired! “Now that I know, I’ll never let you go. You’re mine for life, Alyssa,” he murmured, planting a peck on her sweet lips. A euphoric smile spread across his face after having admitted that to her. He didn’t know what he felt for her, but whatever it was, it couldn’t be easily erased. He needed her every day, every minute, every second near him to survive. She had become his elemental need! Nicholas pulled on his clothes and closed his eyes, t
