Chapter 3 (Rachel's POV)
I am sure you are wondering what Mason did to deserve my hatred.Well honestly, he did nothing. At least not to me.But he was a well known playboy that used girls for his entertainment and threw them away once he got tired of them.And that kind of behaviour was simply unacceptable in my book.Yes he was hot. But he knew it and used it to his advantage.He had black hair that was a bit curly at the end and always looked like he just crawled out of his bed.His eyes were green, but not just any green. It was this forest green mixed with something bright.I have no idea how to describe it, but if you looked at him at the right angle it was like his eyes were little shiny emeralds.About his body…I know next to nothing.Sure I knew he was tall but that's it.He always wore baggy clothes and since he was always behind his laptop developing and programming shit, he was probably skinny under all those clothes.Once upon a time I had a crush on him.But that was back in high school before he turned into a man whore.So now you know all there is to the story about me and Mason.But now I had to live with him.It's not like I minded him, but considering his reputation he will be gone for half a day and the other half I would have to witness all his one night stands leaving the house.Hopefully he won't find a clingy one that would cause us problems.I really didn't have time or patience for drama right now.But back to business.I had to unpack and get started on my job hunting spree.So I did just that.Once done with unpacking I took my laptop and went to the living room, but surprise, surprise Mason was already there.Guess we had the same idea.I stood there frozen because I wasn't sure if it was ok for me to join him.After a moment he startled me when he spoke."You know, I don't bite. We should get used to seeing each other a few times a day since we would be living under the same roof. And I hope we can be grown up and get along for the time being ok?"He had a point. Even if we tried, we couldn't avoid each other all the time.So I just nodded my head and sat down on the couch that was opposite his.We were silent for some time, each of us absorbed in our task.But he surprised me for a second time."So what was the reason for you to lose your job?"It was weird that he tried having a normal conversation with me. But even weirder was the fact that I could only hear curiosity in his words.So I gave him an honest answer."My boss that was sexually harrasing me, turned the story around when I complained to the HR. And because I bruised his ego he fired me."He was just looking at me for a few moments before he spoke."Your ex boss is a huge chauvinistic pig. Don't mind him. I am sure you will be a great employee wherever you go. You are smart, young and beautiful. You also have the drive that is needed in your line of work, so I am sure you won't have any problems finding a new job."He left me speechless.What I wanted to ask him was if he really thought I was beautiful but I didn't want to come across like I'm fishing for compliments. So instead I just thanked him and we both returned our attention to laptops.Maybe this next few weeks won't be so awful after all.We were deep in our work for a few hours already when my stomach informed me it didn't get any food today.I looked up to see Mason fighting a smile.A blush crept on my cheeks."I am sorry. I forgot about food today."At my words he stopped fighting his smile and I must admit it was a really nice view. And guess what. He had dimples.On both cheeks.Now I realized it was no surprise girls fell for his charm that easily."Don't worry. It's understandable after a day like yours. Are you in for us to order some take out?"I was relieved that I wouldn't have to cook today."Sounds amazing. I can order so you can continue with your work if you want.""Nah don't worry, I am a few days ahead on my assignment anyways."He pulled out his phone before I could object and we were discussing what to order.In the end we realized the best option was pizza.And to my surprise we had the same preferences for it. We even agreed that pineapple is definitely a no go on our pizza.Now we wait.I was expecting a weird suffocating silence to settle upon us but once again Mason proved me wrong.He asked about my job as the secretary if I liked it and what I hated about it. He shared some things about his job, the parts that weren't classified.It was generally a relaxed atmosphere between us.He was a good listener as well.After a short time our pizza was delivered and we didn't even bother with plates or anything we decided to eat it right out of the box.We were halfway through the whole pizza when he asked his next question."I get why you got fired even though I still think that your ex-boss is an idiot, but why did your landlord throw you out?"I took a moment to think about my answer but realized there was no way around it so I told him the honest truth."Well my dearest ex boss decided to give a call to my landlord and tell him I was sexualy harrasing him anr my landlord decided to believe him and he couldn't have such a tenant in his building. So here I am."I could see disbelief written clearly all over his face."Are you fucking kidding me right now?"I chuckled but there was no humor behind it."I wish I was but I am not. I guess he wanted revenge and he got it."He just shook his head and after a few moments he said:"I guess in that case you need this house more than I do at this moment. But about your boss I only have 2 words. Good riddance."See? I told you. It might not be so bad.Chapter 4 (Mason's POV)So, here we are.A week has passed already, and surprisingly we managed to not kill each other.But I will be honest with you.Each night since our first night like roomies I had weird dreams.Ok they were not so weird.But they were sure hot as hell and gave me a massive hard on each morning.Thank God Rachel wasn't an early riser as it seems, since I never saw her in the morning.This morning was no different.I woke up from another erotic dreams and I was as hard as a steal.The main star of my dreams was - drum roll please- Rachel.I know, weird right?We couldn't stand each other outside these walls, but still I lusted after her.Fine, it wasn't only in my dreams.But give me a break.It's not my fault she was going around the house in some really short shorts and tank tops that hide close to nothing.She was gorgeous in her casual clothes to be honest.She had naturally red hair-which is much hotter than dyed hair-blue eyes that turned to a nice aqua mari
Chapter 5 (Rachel's POV)I hate him!I hate his words!Hate his body!I! Hate!Him!But damn.That body of his sure is a masterpiece.It must be some kind of sin to hide such a body.Remember how I told you he was probably skinny?Wrong!Who would have thought a geek like Mason could have a body like that?Because watch it, he didn't have a 6 pack, THERE WAS A FREAKING 8 PACK!And those words.Never in my life would I expect a guy like him to have such a dirty mind.And I am ashamed to tell you but he managed to turn me on.Even before he said anything.There sure was a lot of chemistry and passion between us.But there was no chance in hell I would admit it to him.He was still a man whore.Even though when I looked back at our conversation from moments ago he seemed hurt by my words.It's not like I made that up.It was well known knowledge all over the campus when we were in high school and later in college.And that description just stuck with him.Not my fault.But still I could
Chapter 6 (Mason's POV) It was the middle of the night and I woke up because it was too hot for this time of the year especially in London.Once I opened my eyes I realized I wasn't even in my bedroom.What the hell is going on right now?Then it suddenly clicked.I was in Rachel's bedroom.The soft pillows under me should be an obvious sign of that but whatever.Let's blame it on the fact I just woke up.And nke to answer myself and you guys why I was so hot?Because she was wrapped around my body like a little koala bear.Even though we hated each other, I must admit she looked really adorable.But enough with this nonsense.If I stay in her bed until morning she would lose her mind when she finds me next to her.So I had a new mission on the horizon.The mission was: extraction.No judging people!It was a mission and it was a hard one no pun intended.I moved away from her and as soon as I was out of her reach, she started searching for me to cuddle back.Huston! We have a proble
Chapter 7 (Rachel's POV)I woke up with a massive headache and a huge hole in my memory.I had no idea how I got to the bed.Or when.It was all a huge blur.All I could remember was that I had an interview yesterday in the afternoon and that it was a disaster.I had no idea how they knew about what happened in my former company, but it was obvious they knew it all.Well they knew what Mr. Dickson told them at least. But they didn't want to hear even a word of my side of the story.But right now it was too early to think about those things.And my head protested as it was, without me trying to understand some assholes.I moved to the kitchen to get myself a cup of coffee and prayed it would help me with my headache.Once I finally sat down with coffee in front of me, it didn't even smell right to me anymore.I was just thinking where I'd put my painkillers when I heard a door being opened down the hall."Long night roomie?"Well of course it was Mason who else could it be since we li
Chapter 8 (Mason's POV)Yeah ok I was being a dick.But I don't care.It was better this way.I needed to make it clear we were still enemies.Well not really enemies but we did still hate each other.Also I needed to make sure she wouldn't suspect me of doing anything considering her job.First of all it was clear as day that what I was doing was illegal and I could go to prison for hacking into their documents.Especially since her boss was an asshole for smaller things.And if he ever finds out what I did he would make sure I pay for everything.And I had a suspicion my consequences would be far worse than they were for Rachel and every woman that was in that company before her.So back to the topic at hand.It was really important that no one knew about what I was doing.Also I didn't want her to think I developed any feelings towards her and that it was the reason behind my secret operation.Damn it,. That sounds so lame.Let's find a better name for my operation as I call it.Op
Chapter 9 (Rachel's POV)Expression on Mason's face when I told him I got an interview in his company was priceless.I wish I had my phone with me so I could take a picture.Anytime I would feel bad or had a bad day I would just look at that picture and my day would be brighter.But either way. I won't forget that expression any time soon.But what bugged me was the fact I couldn't remember sending an email to a company with that name.Ah who cares.I probably wasn't paying enough attention.But what matters is the fact I got the interview.Now I only have to do good tomorrow and cross my fingers that they give me a chance.As long as they didn't ask about my previous work experiences I was safe.But first things first.I had to find something suitable to wear to my interview.I was halfway through everything I had in the closet when I suddenly came across the perfect combination.It was my best pair of jeans that fit my body like a glove.It was plain jeans, but when you take a close
Chapter 10 (Mason's POV) I was on my way home from work. It's been a day full of surprises for sure. First, some asshole tried to hack into our system so we had to block his attempts, the coffee machine broke down, so we had to make it the old fashioned way. But surprise, surprise. There was no coffee in the whole building because no one made it anymore. It's been years since someone last used the kitchen we had in our company. But the good thing is I survived and was done for today. Now my head was full of thoughts about Rachel. How did her interview go? I wasn't sure if I wanted it to go good or bad. On one hand, I really wanted her to get a job. Not just because she would move out but because she deserved it. Her last boss was a total asshole that only saw her outside but didn't care about her smartness or drive. But on the other hand I wanted her to fail. After all she had an interview in my company, and if she got the job, that would mean, when she moves out, I woul
Chapter 11 (Rachel's POV)When I came home earlier I was so full of positive energy that I had to do something with it.So I cleaned the house, cooked dinner, and made dessert.I did it all in a blink of an eye.Now that I was waiting for Mason to emerge from the shower I had nothing to do, somI thought to myself, why not.Let's get a bit dolled up.I hurried into my room and for the second time in a span of 24 hours started digging in my closet for something nice.For a change, today's evening was pretty warm.So I decided on a nice blue summer dress with green stripes.It reached my mid thighs, was strapless and allowed almost no cleavage to be displayed. But the back was another story. It had a low cut that reached almost all the way down to my ass.Now this I call fancy but still casually.I paired my outfit with nice blue flats and fixed my make up a little.Now I guess I was ready.I came out of my room and spotted Mason right away.He was bent over the kitchen counter trying
