NATHANMinutes later, she gets up."Damn... it's almost eleven.""Do you have any plans?""Yes.""Yes?" I shrug. She's not going to tell me what? Or with whom?"I thought you had kicked me out and hated me and thought I was a bitch.""That's in the past, we made up.""Idiot." She smiles. So beautiful."Come here." I pull her back to me, laying her head on my chest. "Why did you drink so much?" She looks at me and rolls her eyes. "It's a simple question.""Ryan... I wasn't keeping track of how much I drank. I was happy to see my old friends and relieved that we sorted things out.""It was hard to restrain myself; you were teasing me the whole time. Making jokes about me being difficult and bathing you." She laughs."Me?""You also said things I liked. Maybe they'll come in handy later.""What things?""I'm not giving you that satisfaction.""That's not fair. You can't take anything I said into account.""Drunk people always tell the truth, Collins.""Of course. Because it suits you now

NATHANI rise, taking her hands and forcing her to stand up. I lead her to the small room where there's a bed. I close the door behind us before pouncing on her, unable to control myself any longer. I lay her down on the bed and position myself over her, hastily removing her skirt and panties."Fuck," she moans. "You always drive me crazy," she says with a husky voice."Don't try to turn things around," I say before parting her legs and lowering my head between them. Hurriedly, I slide my tongue along her sex, moaning as I feel the wetness in my mouth. I wonder how long she's been like this, desiring the same thing as me.Her moans create vibrations that reverberate through my entire body, reaching my cock. I can't decide whether I should continue, enjoying the softness of her skin and the delicious taste in my mouth, or if the idea of feeling her warm, tight, and delicious against me would be better. But I know I would climax just by imagining that delightful sensation of having her

KATE"Miss McCartney?" A tall man, dressed in a well-tailored gray suit, approaches the table where Meg and I are having lunch."Mr. Coleman!" Meg stands up, and I do the same. "It's good to have you back.""I returned last night. I have a meeting with Ryan shortly.""Alright." Meg looks at me. "Oh! Kate, this is Mr. Niels Coleman. Mr. Coleman, this is Katherine, Mr. Ryan's new assistant." His gaze meets mine."Katherine Collins. It's a pleasure, Mr. Coleman." I offer a handshake, still amazed at how young he is, among other things. The square jaw, the stubble, and the blue, almost gray, eyes were a combination that made his face perfect."Just Niels, please. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Collins. I am the Chief Marketing Officer, and I believe we'll be meeting frequently from today onwards.""You're the CMO of Ryan? Excuse my surprise... it's just that I expected someone less young.""I'm not that young. Well, I have to go now. Goodbye, ladies. It was a pleasure meeting you." He

KATEAbandoning the ice, he follows the same path, licking the wet skin, focusing on my breasts. It stirs an urgent desire between my legs, almost making me beg."Fuck," I gasp. The wave of pleasure overwhelms me to the point where I can barely breathe. I tilt my head back, gripping his neck and parting my lips."Are you okay?" I meet his eyes; he's studying my face. I nod."You're making me wait too long," I manage to say. A mischievous smile spreads across his face. "Are you teasing me?" I pull at the collar of his shirt, pulling him closer, wrapping my legs around his waist."No.""Good. You wouldn't want to play with me.""Strange. It's always you who ends up begging in the end." I feign indignation and push his chest. I step down from the countertop, letting the dress fall to the floor. "Damn it. Come back here, I didn't mean to hurt you," he whispers, triggering an exaggerated laugh from my throat. I turn to face him, finding a smile on his lips. I approach him."You already los

NATHANI must have managed to fall asleep an hour after she left. It was still seven in the morning, and after a grueling workout and a shower, I got dressed for work. I'm still mad at her, and it won't help me in the team meeting today. My phone rings on the bedside table.Great! Stephan!"Yes?""In a good mood as always, Ryan?""Do you have something important to tell me? Or are you just going to annoy me as usual?""You owe me some information. You didn't tell me about the pursuit trip with poor Kate.""Everything's fine.""Just that? Does it mean you managed to convince her to come back?""Let's just say yes.""I want you to tell me that in person. How about grabbing a coffee?""I don't know.""I'll meet you at the office. I really wanted to see Kate anyway." I roll my eyes before hearing his laughter. "See you soon, Nat."Stephan is leaning over the reception counter. He's shamelessly flirting with Ana. When I approach, I see her silly smile vanish."Little brother!" He turns aro
