Heather's kisses were a torrent, cascading down Prisley's body in a relentless stream, igniting a subtle current that coursed through her veins, leaving her breathless with desire.With one swift thrust, he was fully inside her. He leaned into her, his voice a mere whisper against her ear, "Did you miss me?" His voice was a rich baritone, a seductive melody that seemed to vibrate through her, making her shiver in anticipation.All she could manage was a vague sound, a soft whimper that was lost in the heated atmos

She quickly wiped them away with a tissue, pulling herself together in seconds. She put on a facade of confidence as she followed, though inside she felt shattered.Her lips were slightly swollen, the taste of blood lingering. Prisley blinked hard, forcing back the hint of redness in her eyes.In the conference room sat the company's top brass.

"Are you crying?" Heather asked. He turned on the light and saw Prisley's sad face."What happened? Did Steve do something to you?" Heather's voice rose."No, he's been good to me. I just... ran into Filla at the party." Prisley replied.She never wanted to show her vulnerability outside. After saying goodbye to Steve, she had let her guard down and slowly made her way back, tears streaming down her face the whole way.Heather immediately dialed Steve's number."Got it, thanks, Steve."

Prisley couldn't help but shiver.He was used to being on a pedestal, adored by all - when had he ever been subjected to such ridicule?For four years, Prisley had been completely subservient to him. No matter how angry he became or how unreasonable his demands, she had always complied without question. And now she dared to defy him?His face darkened like a storm cloud.

Prisley couldn't bear to think any more."Stop it, Heather, please," she begged tearfully, but Heather's icy demeanor remained as he continued unbuttoning her.Desperation and humiliation washed over Prisley.
