Skyler looked down feeling a little ashamed. He doesn't know what made him admit what he just did. His childhood has not been a normal one and diving into the horrors that shaped his childhood was not the way he wanted to start this date. He braced himself and looked up at Adriana who was gawking at him as if he has several heads. Guess it is a foreign notion to have someone who has never tasted ice cream before in his life. Ice cream was one of the sinful pleasures of childhood that every kid had indulged in, every kid except him. His mother had been a healthy diet fanatic who couldn't stand her only child eating anything that wasn't healthy. Ice cream was one of the little things she denied him growing up. " Can you pretend you didn't just hear that? " he requested. His tone was part pleading and part serious. He wasn't ready to answer the questions that he was sure to follow. Adriana started to shake her head at Skyler's request. He can't just dump such a huge bomb on her and
A smile appeared on Adriana's face as she hit the enter button on her laptop." Finally, " she groaned tiredly moving her neck from side to side to remove the kinks and aches from so much bending to work on her laptop.She just completed the numerous reports she needed for the next managerial meeting coming up next week.As the new CEO of her father's company, she has a lot on her desk to do. Their company, Starprize Winery was performing below par because her father had been lax with his employees giving them room to do as they please.Adriana loves her father and respects him a lot, but the man was kind to a fault.When she took over as the new CEO a few years ago after graduating top of her class from Havard business school, she found their accounts to be in red, and most of all other departments with a lot of mess that had the company in so much dept that she is still fighting till this day to pull them out.She has managed to pull them out from red but they were barely floating a
Skyler stared seriously over the report he was going through. Their company Rivers empire just acquired a new chain of hotels. Cate and Castle.The hotel was one of the best hotels in the city just before things started to go wrong and they found themselves on the verge of liquidation.Their company had moved in to buy the hotel from the owners at a very cheap price.The owners had been reluctant to sell at such a ridiculously low price but just as Skyler was able to convince him otherwise.Before he was made the CEO of his father's company, he had been the marketing director.His co-workers then had accused him of coating his tongue with honey, because there has never been anyone he couldn't sweet-talk into a deal that brought about his nickname. Sweet talker.Skyler had been the one to talk his father into the deal because he had been reluctant to invest in a business that was sinking, but Skyler believes the company still has potential and he was going to make sure he achieves it.
If looks could kill, Skyler's friends will be dead on the floor.Skyler glared at them as they head off to the other side of the room abandoning him to the vixen that was heading towards him like a tigress on a prowl.Skyler's glare turns to one of fright as he realized he was going to have to deal with the woman whether he likes it or not.He looked towards the exit, his sharp mind calculating the distance between him and the door and if he can make a break for it before the vixen reaches him." Hello, " a feminine voice poured over him causing his whole body to break out in bumps, as the voice strokes his flesh like a soft evening breeze.He turned around to face the voice and swallowed his tongue.The woman was even more gorgeous up close.A smug grin played across Adriana's lips when she saw the shock and appreciation in the guy's stunning green. She must say she was a little bit stunned to find his eyes this green. Rarely has she seen that color in men. From across the room she
Skyler just found out that moving with the full body of a woman plastered across your full body length like a koala bear was the most difficult thing on earth. No make that the second most difficult thing. The first was invading the snaky hands of the said woman. If Skyler didn't know better he will swear with his life that the woman in his arms was an octopus. Her hands seem to be everywhere and all over him. God, please save me, Skyler moaned in distress as he tried to evade yet another sneaky caress from the woman. Adriana couldn't get over how good the man she was plastered over smelled. His cologne wasn't obviously masculine nor suffocating like most men who smell like they took a shower with their cologne. Rather he has this delicate spicy smell almost bothering on feminine tinkling her senses and sparking her system with an intense desire to touch. She wanted this man desperately and the need was driving her insane. Adriana didn't know whether the insane desire to touch
Adriana let her tired body relax more atoning itself to the smooth rhythm of the car as it purred over the road.The interior of the car was amazing and smelled like the man beside her.She couldn't help stealing glances at him.His face was stunning under the moon reflection, almost ethereal.He hasn't said anything since they set out, but she wasn't surprised by that. The man beside her was a man of few words. Adriana almost expected the silence between them to be uncomfortable but it wasn't.This is the first time in a long while she is in such close space with a man and nothing is going on. No talking, or make out session just complet silence.The silence was so comfortable that she didn't see the need to fill it with empty chatter. Neither did the guy.Skyler could feel the blonde's stare on his face even though she was being subtle. " Take a picture it might last longer, " Skyler teased not taking his eyes from the road.He has always been a careful driver and having a passen
" Ahh!!! " A painful scream tore horrifyingly through Adriana's throat once she rose from the car and stood on her injured leg. " Fuck! " She jumped hopping off her feet and nearly nosedived to the ground. " Easy, " Skyler wrapped his strong arm around the blonde's slim waist to stop her fall which pushed her body against his chest, causing them both to freeze. For a brief moment, they stood in that position sucked in by the intense emotions swirling between them. Skyler's heart raced where the blonde head rested and his hand shook with the tenacity it took to restrain himself from leaning down to take the blonde's lips with his. The shock of his thoughts snapped him back to reality and he withdrew his body from the blonde, holding her at arm's length while still supporting her. " I am sorry, " he apologized softly not knowing why he was apologizing but needed to say something to break the silence between them. Adriana sighed silently in her mind. It felt so good to be in
It felt like in a dream, the excruciating pain Adriana was feeling. She tried to get comfortable but the pain wouldn't let her and the problem is, she can't even pinpoint the source of the pain.Her sleep was restless as she tried to sleep amidst the discomfort.Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and her eyes opened.The first thing that hit her was the throbbing pain in her left foot." Fuck! " This hurts she exclaimed loud into the room sitting up.A glance at her foot revealed some swelling around her ankle.What a lousy Friday night. Didn't get laid but got injured instead.Adriana was about to get out of bed but paused mid-way as she recalled the face of the gentleman she met last night.He is so dreamy, she gushed to herself. Wonder if I will see him again if I go back to the club.Worth a try, Adriana gave herself a secret smile as she hopped down from the bed making sure to keep her weight off her injured foot.Her thoughts still on the man and how to entice him into a date
