JOANNA.

The documents in front of me blurred together. I was trying so hard to concentrate in the office. Nothing seemed to making sense. I tapped my pen against the desk, desperate to focus, but it was pointless.

All I could think about was him, Luther. I'm afraid he might have done something because I'm trying to focus on my work but I just couldn't! That kiss, the way he kissed my earlobes, my neck.

The way Luther's hands had cupped my face, how his lips had moved against mine like he owned them. Like he owned me. The scene kept replaying in my head over and over again.

I shook my head, cheeks burning.

God, Joanna, focus. Focus!

But no matter how many times I tried to dive back into work, my mind kept replaying it — the pressure of his mouth, the taste of him, the way he whispered he was on a mission to seduce me and I guess he must have done something!

I groaned softly, burying my face in my hands.

What the hell was happening to me?

Just then, movement at the door caught my eye

    CASSIE. ---"You’re useless!" I spat at the man I hired that couldn't get the most basic job done! We were in the same coffee shop I met him previously. Joanna is still roaming about, sound and healthy. I lowered my voice slightly, but the venom stayed. "I paid you double. Double! And she’s still alive, walking around like nothing happened! What exactly did you do!” The man shrugged, an infuriatingly casual gesture."It wasn’t my fault," he muttered. "I did everything right. It was supposed to look like an accident — her own mistake. But someone showed up. Someone important showed up and saved her. That was out of control” He responded. I can't believe he thinks he has the right! I narrowed my eyes. "I don't give a fuck, Mr man. Who the heck saved her by the way!” He leaned in, voice dropping to a rough whisper."Luther Martins. The almighty Luther of Mars Group himself. I heard they were getting married…” Luther? Wasn't that a stunt to make Asher jealous in the past or wait, it

    JOANNA. Luther continued kissing me, and I couldn’t pull away. I wanted to but I couldn'tI melted into him, lost in the sensation, forgetting entirely why I had come here or that we shouldn’t be doing this.The sound of our lips colliding filled the room, raw and unfiltered, while Luther’s hands cupped my cheeks, anchoring me to him.He deepened the kiss, sucking gently on my tongue, then planting soft, hungry nibbles across my lips, stealing every last shred of resistance I had.Finally, he pulled away, his forehead resting against mine as we both struggled to catch our breath."Luther…" I whispered, my voice trembling."You shouldn’t be kissing me..." I finished, barely managing the words.His hands stayed on my face, his thumb brushing tenderly across my cheek as he spoke, his voice low, rough with emotion."I know. But I couldn't stop. I can't."I closed my eyes tightly, feeling the weight of everything pressing down on me. “Luther… this is…” "Joanna, I can't..." he said, his vo

    JOANNA.I nodded at Gina, who kept her undying gaze fixed on me."Wow! This is amazing news, ma'am!" Gina squealed, her excitement bubbling over. I furrowed my brows, confused by her reaction."I knew it! I knew it had to be someone big sending you all those gifts. And it turns out to be the almighty Luther Martins of Mars Group. How romantic!" She threw her hands in the air, practically dancing in place. I stared at her, stunned. Was I the problem here?"Gina, we’ve been friends since childhood," I told her carefully."Exactly! That makes it even more romantic!" she chirped."Gina, he’s Asher’s best friend. Doesn’t that strike you as… weird?""Ma'am, are you from the 80s or something?" she asked bluntly, folding her arms. "I’m sorry, but your ex husband doesn’t deserve that kind of loyalty from either of you. If his best friend wants you, that's his loss, not yours."I swallowed hard, feeling the weight of my fears. "Gina, I’m scared. I don’t know if I can bring myself to love him...

    JOANNA. I watched Luther leave with the woman he came with as my heart stung. I had no idea what to feel at the moment. I left Luther for space to think.. It just felt like nature was messing with my head. Everything was super weird to me and I'm trying to give myself time. But I felt extremely guilty for leaving Luther in that condition after he did everything he did to save me. I felt shitty. At the same time I had no idea what to do. Go home to Luther? I wasn't sure yet.. The confession, everything came as a shock or maybe I'm the one assuring myself that because Luther gave hints countless times, I wasn't just paying attention. I was occupied with the thoughts that I saw him as a brother and friend to the extent that no matter how my heart skipped, I didn't want to give in. I wanted a break from love. It was scary.. I haven't recovered fully from what went on with Asher, the pain of it all still lingered and Luther had been a great friend. Would it be okay letting myself lov

    JOANNA I forced a smile as I sat down across from him, smoothing my skirt over trembling knees. For a moment, Luther just stared at me. Then, with a calmness that didn’t reach his eyes, he said, “Ms. Wright.” Professional. Cold. It stung more than I expected. Luther had never been that distant with me no matter what. I swallowed hard, trying to ignore the way my chest tightened. “Mr. Martins” I answered, keeping my voice steady, even though my heart was hammering against my ribs. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her — the woman he brought. She leaned forward, smiling sweetly as she poured water into Luther’s glass. Her hand brushed his, careful and tender, as she set the cup down in front of him. I looked away quickly, heat rushing to my face. It shouldn’t bother me. Why the fuck was I so bothered? It was nothing. it meant nothing. But every small, careful touch felt like a dagger twisting deeper into my gut. Luther shifted in his seat, wincing slightly

    JOANNA . The decision I made, I wasn't so sure if it was the best decision to make but I really needed space. Everything was too much, too overwhelming, I needed space to breathe,to think. What would I do now? This is entirely the turning point of our relationship and every decision I take right now will have a huge impact. I was trying to be careful.. I left very early in morning and decided to lodge in a hotel for a few days until I make a decision. But whenever I remembered how everything happened, how my heart pounded fast when I saw his bare body. There was slow tension between us when I was pulling off his shirts, his abs, his muscles , his dick. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I wanted to convince myself that it was purely nothing but lust. I don't any feelings for Luther, I don't. I need time to process myself before giving love another chance. For the past few years, i wasn't loved properly. I was forcing a man to love me. Now I don't know what to thi

    LUTHER. I woke up, blinking my eyes.. I sat up and for a second, I stayed still, letting the memories of last night settle over me. The way the words had slipped out — raw, honest, unplanned. Joanna never returned to the bathroom yesterday. The way everything happened was quite unplanned and I couldn't hold myself together. I let out all my emotions last night without thinking of consequences. I bet it was too much for Joanna to handle. I wanted to control my thoughts of her but I couldn't, not when she was bare.. I made that ridiculous request last night, it just came out naturally. I didn't even think Joanna would agree to it but it just happened and we found ourselves in the bathroom. I couldn't keep my eyes off her perky round breasts. I couldn't keep my eyes off her sexy curves, not to talk of her features. Joanna might eventually be the end of me. I wasn't in my right senses when I made that confession but I had to keep it going because I couldn't keep that secret forever,

    Joanna’s POV Luther’s voice was steady, even as something raw trembled beneath it. "So, what did I do?" he said quietly. "I stayed close. I helped you when you needed it. I guided you when you felt lost. I protected you — even when you didn’t realize you needed protecting." He stepped closer, the distance between us disappearing until I could feel the heat of his skin against mine. "I had to be there for you," he said, softer now. "Every time. Always." I stared up at him, my chest tightening painfully, my heart hammering so loudly I could barely hear anything else. "And now you’re here," he whispered. "With me." He gave a small, broken laugh. "I know I’m not even courageous, saying all this now. I should've said it sooner. But I needed you to know. I couldn't hide it forever. I couldn't place myself as just a friend and a brother when I'm not. I just couldn't keep letting it go that way." His hand brushed lightly against my jaw, a touch so tender it almost undid me. "
