Chapter 18-INDIGO-"There'll be no need for that, Uncle." Rowan's sharp voice cuts through the air and everyone freezes. Well, everyone except for Frederick."Rowan!" The man cheers in excitement as he shoves me from his way and heads straight for Rowan.He widens his arms, reaching for a hug and the look Rowan throws his way makes the man halt on his tracks and rethink the gesture."Why are you here?" Rowan asks Frederick, going straight to the point.Matilda throws a look my way and I understand what it means immediately, 'it's time for us to go,' it says. I nod my head and we both take steps backwards till we get to our cubicles.We pretend to continue working as we eavesdrop in on their conversation. I mean, it's not like we can help it. They're right there."I came here to check on my nephew and his new wife," he casually glances at me and I pretend to be fascinated by my keyboard."Oh well, I'm standing here. You've seen Indigo, if that's all, you can leave." Rowan says in urge
Chapter 19-INDIGO-"You can do this. You can do this. You can this." I reaffirm myself as I look at my reflection from the mirror.I am indeed wearing the 'hot blue dress.' It has spaghetti sized straps with a free neckline, the curve of my breasts are accentuated down to my hips, then there's a flay from my lower thighs where the dress stops. I wear my blonde hair down to reduce the attention brought on my chest and open back. Then I couple the look with white wedge heels, three inches at best. My makeup is light with drippy lips. Lord knows why I went for that option since it's dinner and I'll be sure to wipe my mouth in between. Well, that'll be a problem for later Indigo. I grab a white small purse which is totally empty safe for my phone, my card, a pen and ten dollars. Not really sure what that ten dollars would be worth when I step into a restaurant, holding The Rowan Grey's arm. "I can do this." I say to myself one more time before I walk out of my room and head downstai
Chapter 20-INDIGO-"Stop." I place a hand on Rowan's chest.He looks at me weirdly like he can't believe the words I just said. I withdraw my legs from him and wear back the straps of my gown that unconsciously fell below my shoulders. "What is it? What's wrong?" Rowan asks me as I take a sitting position on the chair."I'm sorry but I can't," my voice breaks as I speak."You can't what? Indigo talk to me!" He demands and I fly up from my sitting position."I can't do this. I'm not your wife. I'm nothing to you. We can't just have such intimate relations whenever we feel like!""It's going to complicate so many things when we get a divorce five months from now." I tell him and he turns his head away from me."That's still months away, we'll be able to sort everything in due time." He tries to reason with me but I'm not listening anymore."I know the kind of women you employ yourself with. And I'm not them. I won't be able to do all of these things with you without wanting more." And
Chapter 21-INDIGO-I'm an idiot. Infact, I'm the biggest idiot alive.Why, oh, why did I let Rowan kiss me with his wicked tongue?His kisses are exactly like him. Wicked, precise, amazing. I can't even describe last night. I've kissed a few times before in my life but none. Absolutely none hold a candle to Rowan's kisses.He knows how to do everything.But he didn't come back home last night. I don't blame him, I rejected him for the second time. I bet he's pissed out of his mind. But I did the right thing.I'm not in the right frame of mind to be kissed by Rowan Grey. The man is a legend in all these things and I'm his inexperienced employee. I don't want to overstep my boundaries.I stop by the cafe before the office to get myself and Rowan coffee. Thankfully, when I get to his office to deliver, he isn't in.I take on the opportunity to survey his office. Its always spotless, everything is arranged in such an odd manner. Unlike his habits at home where he couldn't care less where
Chapter 22-INDIGO-"My dear wife, its like you've forgotten who you belong to. I'm going to have to remind you." Rowan's voice is rough and husky.I don't know why but a shiver runs down my spine afterwards. I try to pull myself together as I clear my throat and puff out my chest."Rowan, I thought we agreed that we would stop doing things like this." I say in a desperate tone but the look in his eyes is primal, carnal, hungry.He takes predictory steps towards me and I take steps backwards."You agreed. I said nothing." His voice is sharp and the realization that I've hit his desk and that I have nowhere to run to is sharper."But—""But nothing." He cuts me off and I swallow."Who are you married to?" He asks me and my brows crease as I search for the right word. "Don't let me repeat my question again." He drags as his hands clamp down on the desk on either side of me, caging me."Y-you, s-sir," I stutter as I speak."Who do you work under?" He asks as his right hand finds its way
Chapter 23-INDIGO-I face my shame as I escape from Rowan's office. Not exactly. The person my shame is being bared to looks shamed as well.Both Matty and I look disheveled from our illicit endeavors. Hers a bit toned down than mine. She throws a look my way and I mirror her expression."You tell me and I tell you," she offers as I settle down on my seat and I shake my head."How about we both shut up and focus on our work?" I propose and she huffs."Full disclosure, the whole floor heard you screaming." Matty drops the bomb and my jaw drops as well.I swivel my chair and she does the same so we're sitting opposite one another with a few feet in between us."What did you just say?" I ask her slowly."You! You, sir!" She cries and pants in an attempt to mock me and I frown at the same time embarrassment floods me.If I was red as a tomato before now I'm a pepper. I can't believe everyone heard that. And I'm once again trapped in the memory of being debauched by Rowan.God, I hate mys
Chapter 24"You're bent on forcing my hand to punish you, aren't you?"To say I'm confused after Rowan makes that statement is an understatement. "W-What?" I ask in a shell shocked tone and grips my right forearm tightly, pulling me close to him."How dare you? Do you think I wouldn't know that you were having a wet dream?" I redden at his crude words. "I come back from work to see you writhing and moaning over the place with this flimsy material you call clothing," he uses his free hand to undo the knot of my robe and like my dream, I am wearing a skimpy lingerie underneath."I don't know what you're talking about." I choke out, feigning cluelessness but Rowan isn't having any of it this night."Don't lie to me, wife. Who were you dreaming about?" I'm about to lie when he shushes me."If you lie, I'll know. I know every thing." He says and I believe him. He's crazy like that."I wasn't dreaming at all." I lie and he thrusts two fingers inside me at once all of a sudden and I cry ou
Chapter 25-ROWAN-Jax is a better man than I am, so getting him to talk after a subtle threat is not hard. He let's out a deep sigh before he bares his naked truths to me."To be honest, there's nothing going on between the both of us." He admits and I frown as I raise a questioning brow at him."It's not that I don't want anything to happen between the two of us, it's actually her choice. She specifically said that she's a casual no strings attached kind of girl. I am a no strings attached person too, so you think it would work out between us, right?" He pauses and I shrug."She turned me down, said she wanted nothing to do with me but friendship. I was confused because she's been giving me signs for weeks," he slouches his shoulders."Turns out she just has a talent for leading people on. But no harm done, it's not like I love her or anything. I wanted her, she didn't want me. End of story." Jax demonstrates with his hands.He and I both know that's not the end of the story. The tw
