-Eve-Monday morning came faster than I had anticipated, and I still hadn’t gotten over Friday evening, so I called in sick. There was no way in hell I could face Dominic Kingston after that kiss.It was past 8am when Sally strolled into my room, disbelief etched on her face.“You’re still in bed? What happened to work, E?”I let out an exasperated sigh, “I’m not going, and I already called in sick.”She let out a loud laugh, as if there was anything funny about it. “You’re calling in sick after your boss kissed you? That’s either trauma or rom-com.” She said inbetween laughs.I glared at her, still flustered.I had told her about the kiss with Dominic, but had meticulously left the part of him being the voice from the audios.“You said he was drunk, he probably won’t even remember—”“And if he does?” I cut in. I mean, there was two sides to a coin.She shrugged, “If you ever reach that bridge, you’ll figure out a way to cross it.”“Wow.” I said sarcastically. “Nice wise advice, Sal.
-Eve-I told myself that I’d avoid him by all means, and pretend that Tuesday morning didn’t exist, but it was almost immpossible when he kept appearing everywhere. His presence only made things worse, physically and emotionally. I had promised Sal, I would drop my suspicions, but I couldn’t. Not when he had said those words to my face. Now, I had a face to the voice I couldn’t stop listening to.The week had flown by so fast, and in it a blink, it was Friday evening. I had survived an entire week at Kings Corp, until I didn’t. Alex had to go out of town that morning, so work had doubled on us, especially with the launch of the new perfume fast approaching. With Alex out of the way, I was literally left to fend for myself. And by 4:30pm, Dominic Kingston suddenly decided that the previously submitted taglines weren’t up to par. Then demanded that we came up a new one before the end of the day. At first, we all worked on them together, but by 5:30pm, I was assigned to send revision
-Dominic-Tonight, the neon lights pinched on my nerves, and the bass felt too loud, or maybe I was just tired of the noise.My best friend, Theo was saying something beside me, laughing and gesturing at a woman who had been dancing in front of us for the past ten minutes, waiting for me to look at her.I didn’t. I just didn’t feel like it.“Not even a glance?” he said, slouching back with his drink. “You’re off your game tonight.”I lifted the glass to my lips, the bourbon biting against my tongue. “Maybe I’m just not in the mood to play.”He snorted. “You? Not in the mood? That’s a first.”Maybe it was, because all I could see was her.Eve.The way her eyes had widened when I stepped closer, not in fear, but something else. Something dangerous.I should have let her walk away the moment she started fumbling through that presentation. Instead, I had pushed, harder than necessary. Because I wanted to see how far she would go before she broke.And she didn’t.She stood there, flushed,
-Eve-Dominic Kingston, COO of Kings Corp and heir to the Kingston Conglomerate, is known for his cold, unfazed expression and spotless public image. Little is known about his personal life, which only adds to the mystery around him.Beneath the article sat a photo of him at an event, perfect tux, drawn lips, and eyes like he'd rather be anywhere else. Even in pixels, he looked untouchable.I dropped the phone with a small groan.“So let me get this straight,” Sally began as she made dinner. “You got on your boss’s bad side on your first day, and now you think he’s the voice behind the audio instructions you listen to every night?”I sighed. “Not every night, Sal. But yes. Can’t you see, Dom is short for Dominic—”“And Dominant,” Sal said flatly, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “Isn’t that why you listen to those audios, E?” She paused, stirring the pan of veggies like her life depended on it.“Why would he, the heir to the Kingston Conglomerate be out here making ero
-Eve-Today was my first day at Kings Corp as a marketing assistant, and I should have taken a taxi, or the subway.I had imagined today all weekend, how I’d walk in with grace, glowing skin, and an iced latte in hand. Instead, I was sweaty, five minutes late, and halfway through a silent panic attack in my brand new heels.And it was all because of Sal.She had insisted on driving me, but honestly, an old turtle could have beaten her hand-me-down sedan.“We’re here.” She chirped. “Good luck on your first day. Oh and try to get yourself a boyfriend so you won’t have to DIY every cold night, you know what I’m saying?” She winked.I rolled my eyes, letting out an exasperated sigh as I got out. “Thanks for the ride Sal. Please never talk again.” I hurried off.She yelled. “The rainy season is long, E! Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”Sometimes, I swore she was the bane of my existence.Straightening my blouse, I marched into the towering headquarters, clutching my bag too tightly. King Corp
-Eve-Tonight was one of those nights when I couldn’t stop thinking. When every nerve in my body screamed for touch and silence felt louder than usual. So, I leaned back on my bed, pressed against the headboard, and tucked my headphones in.“Hey, princess.” Dom Daddy's deep, smooth, commanding voice spilled into my ears making my pulse spike. “I know why you’re here. If you haven’t settled in yet, I want you to do that now.”I trembled, fingers hovering over my dress. Slowly, I pulled it off and let it fall to the ground.“Lie back, take a breath and get ready to do everything I tell you.”I obeyed, trembling, heart racing like every night was the first time.“Now…lightly touch your right thigh. Run your fingers from your inner thigh down to the edge of your panties, slowly tracing along the edges.”A shiver shot through me, and a small moan escaped before I could stop it.“Good girl,” he murmured. “Now drift your hands to your belly…so soft. Perfect.”I moved to the left thigh as ins
