AMARIS POVThe last of the board members and external consultants filtered out of the conference room, their footsteps echoing softly against the polished floor. Some paused to offer their congratulations, their smiles genuine. Others made their way over to Theron, quiet disappointment etched across their features, veiling their words in strained politeness.I stood in a daze, half-anchored to the present, half-suspended in disbelief. The project had always been more than just ambition it was my vision brought to life through the grit and brilliance of my team. Yet, even with that certainty, I knew the room wasn’t filled with only allies. Today, we had gained approval, but we had also gained enemies powerful ones."I'm excited to download your app," Manny said with a wide grin, clasping my hand warmly. "Theron would’ve been out of his mind not to vote in favor."I returned his smile. “Thank you… and thanks for casting your vote with us.”“Anytime,” he said, arms opening slightly as if

THERON POVI had never endured a boardroom presentation with my cock this hard. Not once. But the moment Ami stepped into the room, I was ruined. Eyes locked on her from the second she crossed the threshold, I knew then that was my first mistake.I wasn’t just imagining her naked I was mentally peeling away every inch of her clothing, piece by piece. No, I’d leave the black stilettos. Those would stay. Everything else? Gone.I couldn’t help it. Every subtle movement she made, I tracked. The tilt of her head, the way she smiled at the board members, the flicker of her eyes every time they accidentally no, deliberately met mine. She’d licked her lips fifteen times. Yes, I was counting. And each time, I pictured those lips wrapped around my cock.She was nervous I could see that. But the shallow inhales weren’t about her pitch. No. They were about anticipation. Her eyes gave her away. She already knew what would happen after this meeting.I tried to redirect my attention to the slides on

"The entire testing group successfully downloaded the app to their phones."Dariel stood in front of the whiteboard in our office, reading aloud from the report. I probably should’ve been paying attention, but my focus had long drifted. Instead, I stared out the floor-to-ceiling window, silently wondering if Theron was as distracted as I was.Technically, I was doing what he’d told me to working but it had nothing to do with obedience. Forgetting him? That was the real impossibility. Every memory of his mouth, his tongue, his fingers on me sent a shiver straight down my spine. My lower belly coiled with longing each time his filthy promises echoed in my head. I hated him for leaving me this way... and yet, I wanted him even more for it.“Each participant created an account using the instructions we provided,” Dariel continued. “We should receive their first completed surveys in about an hour.” His voice filled the room. “They’ve been divided into three teams: the first will follow all

AMARIS POV“So… everything’s fine between you two now?” Romilly’s voice giggled through the phone, teasing and light.“I’d say it’s better than fine,” I replied, unable to stop the ridiculous grin tugging at my lips.“Oh my God, Ami. You’re falling for him!” Her laughter burst through the line, and heat surged to my cheeks.“I wouldn’t go that far,” I mumbled, though even to my own ears, I sounded unconvincing.“Mhm. Things are definitely moving in a certain direction…”“Yeah. That direction being a straight line to his bedroom,” she snorted.“Speaking of which how do you manage to be around him and not… you know?”I cleared my throat, embarrassed but honest. “Truth is, I was completely knocked out last night. I don’t even remember falling asleep. But when I woke up this morning... let’s just say I’m not sure how many more nights I can survive without throwing myself at him.”Romilly’s laughter rang out louder. “Go for it, Ami. No more secrets, no more games. He’s asking for your forg

Mother’s chest rose sharply, her lips curling into a cold, amused smirk. “Open threats? That’s new.” “Then you’d better get used to it, Mother,” I shot back, my voice low and sharp. The curve of her smile stretched wider, its chill seeping into the room. “I didn’t expect you to defend her. I must admit it makes whatever you have with her seem more... authentic.” A bitter laugh escaped me. “Do you even care whether it’s real?” She frowned, lifting her teacup with careful grace. “Of course I care. I want you to have a wife, someone capable of bearing your children. If this is all for show, it’s just a waste of your time and resources.” I huffed. “You never cease to astound me, Mother. How your stone heart manages to circulate blood is beyond me.” She narrowed her eyes. “Being pragmatic doesn’t make me unfeeling.” “You’re right,” I said, a smirk creeping up despite the tension. “You’re full of hatred and disdain.” “Is that what you think?” Her brows arched in m

THERON POV Ami's eyes were the color of summer skies, soft and stormy all at once. I watched the blush creep over her cheeks, her lips parted ever so slightly, her breathing quickening with every passing second. Her fingers trembled where they tangled behind my neck want clashed with hesitation. She wanted me. I could feel it in the way her body leaned into mine, yet I also saw the fear that hadn’t entirely left her. And I couldn’t risk her bolting again. I was halfway to abandoning restraint, ready to peel off her clothes and kiss her into oblivion, when the shrill ring of my office phone sliced through the moment. Just like that, the spell broke. A familiar frustration settled over me. This wasn’t the first time something at the company had dragged me away from her, and I was starting to believe I was cursed. I even had a suspect in mind. But this time, I kept her close. Her presence calmed me more than anything else. Just having her within reach made the weight on my should
