I made sure to wake up extra early today for work. I was proud of myself; I could now pay off my student loan and take care of my momma, my one and only inspiration along with God.

I was surprised to see breakfast placed on the kitchen counter for me to eat. Normally, it would be the other way around, with me making breakfast for my momma.

"You didn't have to, you know, Mom," I told her, taking a bite out of my scrumptious food.

"It's my duty from now on since you won't have any time anymore to prepare breakfast," she explained.

"I could've prepared it," I mumbled, downing my food.

"Just be grateful," she said, slapping me on the shoulder.

After finishing my breakfast, I immediately got ready and left for my first day of work.

"Here goes nothing," I said walking into the building.

I had on a grey skirt down to my knees, a red long-sleeve shirt, and my hair loose.

Approaching the front desk receptionist, her smile lifted the moment she saw me but faltered the moment I told her who I was. She passed me a pass and told me to take the elevator to level ten.

This would be the highest part of the building where the CEOs resided. I was twenty minutes early, which should give me a good impression.

Hopefully, I could focus on my work today and not be flustered by the two CEOs, especially Hunter. I thanked God he didn't remember anything about me; otherwise, they might have thought I was a gold digger and not bothered to hire me.

What a coincidence that I lost my virginity to Hunter only to be interviewed by him the next day.

I was still dampened about how I lost my virginity. Nothing could make up for the loss of what was something special to me. I was going to church Sunday to ask God for forgiveness, but it still would never make me feel any better about myself.

"It's good that you're here early. Let me direct you to your new office," Tessa, the Human Resources lady from yesterday, said the moment I got off the elevator. She led me into a big bright room with only a desk.

"This is your office room. You could always readjust it to your liking. Also, there are a few documents on your desk I want you to go ahead and read them, then sign in agreement. Your bosses are next door from this room; once you're finished, they'll tell you about your next task for the day. Now if there's anything you need to ask, I'll be in my office; my email is stored on your computer, you can always email me," she said.

With that being said, she left. I took a while to bask in the beauty of the entire room. I got to see outside the building's sky view. Magnificent.

Turning towards the documents, I read the agreement before signing. My payment was everything I didn't expect. It was huge. My student loan was nothing compared to it, and to top it all off, I got housing, health, medical, dental, vacation, retirement, and much more.

God had finally answered my prayers.

Thank you!

I signed my contract with the thought of bringing it back to Tessa soon. In the meantime, I buckled myself to face the two CEOs, Hunter and Hayden.

I got up from my desk the moment I heard Hayden ushering me to his office. I smoothed out my skirt not to look too disheveled by my attire.

Entering the office, I was met by Hayden and Hunter. I came to notice that Hayden's office was adjoining to Hunter's, so that's why he would be in Hunter's office most of the time he summoned me.

"Yes, sir?" I addressed Hunter in particular since he was the one who called me in.

Their presence would have seemed dominant to others, but I wasn't one to cower away. Although remembering I had lost my virginity to Hunter made me feel a bit uneasy at his gaze towards me.

"As today is your first day at work, your tasks for today will be getting to know your everyday routine here. I and Hunter will be showing you how it's done. With the housing facility, you'll be expected to move in by this weekend. You'll be living in our apartment building; that way, you'll be closer for us to reach out to you regarding work. Any questions?" Hayden fully explained to me.

"No, not at the moment," I told him.

"Good. Now here's a list of things you are expected to do as my personal assistant," he handed me a paper.

Just then, a lady I had not seen before entered the room. She was sporting a very short black skirt, almost a mini-dress, matched with a black top that showed quite a lot. Her brunette hair was long and straight down to her back. A very red lip gloss; she looked like a model.

I guess this was the type of woman they wanted. I was strictly here for work and nothing else.

"Hayden, I have completed all the paperwork you gave me from last week and faxed it off to our new clients," she proudly said, handing Hayden the files.

I didn't miss how she seductively pushed her boobs together as she handed them to him, smiling. I also noticed how she addressed a multi-billion-year CEO casually, without any title.

"I was beginning to think you were slacking off on the job. Good work," Hayden praised her.

"Lily, this is Olivia Wilson. She's my assistant. During your first month here, Olivia will be your guide as she's more experienced. Her room's just across from yours," Hayden stated.

"Nice to meet you," I smiled, but I was given a tight smile in return.

"Okay."

"I've emailed two files for both of you to complete by the end of the day. Don't disappoint. You're both dismissed," Hunter addressed us.

Exiting the room, I went straight to my office to begin my work. But before I could start, Olivia entered my office. I thought this could be the start of something new, but her words proved this wasn't to be the case.

"I'm impressed at how you landed this job. I've never seen them go for your type, so what did you do to convince the twins of hiring you?" She asked, nearing my desk.

"Excuse me?"

"Don't play dumb. I can tell by the looks of you, you're not qualified for this job. So tell me?" She rudely questioned again.

"For your information, I graduated from the University of Michigan," I told her. I didn't need to, but I just felt like justifying myself.

"Hmm, well, at least I know I won't be getting any trouble from you. You're certainly not their type. But I'd just like to warn you, don't try to make yourself seem more than what you are, and don't you dare try to seduce those men out there; they're mine," she warned, nearing my face.

"I had no intentions of doing such a thing. I'm merely here to work," I replied. My first day of work, and I was hated by someone I did nothing to.

"Good, and don't think you can double-cross me. I've managed to get quite a number of persons fired who were in your position. Just keep away, and we'll get along quite fine," she smiled at me.

"You don't have anything to worry about," I reassured her. I was definitely not one to mix office romance with work.

"Perfect!"

"Then nice to meet you, Lily," she extended her hand. She was a witch in disguise. I only hoped I didn't find myself in an altercation with her, or my job would be gone like dust in the wind.

    The sun had long dipped beneath the horizon by the time they returned to the villa. Lily walked barefoot up the stone path, her skin still tingling from the waterfall, her lips bruised from too many kisses to count. Her sundress clung to her damp curves, and every time one of the men brushed behind her, her breath stopped.The door clicked shut behind them.Hunter's hands were on her hips first. He pulled her gently backward, so her spine met his chest, and let his lips graze her neck."Have I ever told you how beautiful you looked?" he murmured, to Lily for about the hundred time since they woke up together. "Every smile. Every wet inch of you under that waterfall."Hayden appeared in front of her, shirtless now, towel slung low on his hips. He reached out, fingers brushing her collarbone. "Do you know what it did to us? Watching you like that? Free."Hunter's hands slid around her waist, down, until he was palming her thighs. "Take it off," he said, voice low. "Slowly."Lily's hands

    The first thing Lily noticed was warmth, wrapped around her like sunlight itself. Sheets tangled around her legs, the faint scent of vanilla and cedarwood clinging to the linen, and Hayden's chest rising beneath her cheek in a slow, steady rhythm.Hunter's hand was at her waist, fingers splayed possessively, his body curved against her back like a second blanket. She didn't want to move. Didn't need to."Is she awake yet?" Hunter murmured, voice still heavy with sleep, lips brushing the curve of her neck."Hmm," Lily mumbled, eyes still closed. "Barely."Hayden's hand slid into her hair, gentle. "You look wrecked. In the best way.""I wonder why," she said dryly, earning a low chuckle from both men."You're blaming us?" Hunter's teeth grazed her shoulder. "You begged for more. Twice.""Once," she corrected.Hayden kissed the top of her head. "No, love. That second time counted. You said 'don't stop,' and we took it seriously."A groan escaped her lips, more flustered than annoyed. She

  • Forbidden Thirst   88. Bonus chapter- The wedding.

    Lily's Wedding DayThe wedding wasn't in a grand cathedral or some fancy garden estate. No. It was better.It was a private beach along the coast that Hunter found months ago, quiet, peaceful, with the softest sand and the bluest sky you could ever imagine.Where Hayden and Hunter proposed to me. And now, it would become the place where I said yes to forever.The setup was intimate and breathtaking. Rows of white wooden chairs lined the beach, filled with close family and friends, everyone who mattered.White roses and eucalyptus framed the path that led to a driftwood arch draped in flowing ivory fabric. The air was light with salt and sea breeze, the waves behind the altar dancing in perfect rhythm.I stood just behind the little changing tent, the wind teasing my veil. My heart thudded beneath the silk bodice of my dress. It was fitted and elegant, not too grand, but enough to make me feel like the most beautiful woman alive.My mother stood beside me, misty-eyed and proud. She tuc

    "Hello my baby Daniel," I cooed using my nose to play with his little one."And who's Nathaniel's favorite parent in the whole wide world?" I gushed at both my baby boys.Since having my twins I thought it would be hectic from now compared to what I've read and been told but having my parents around made it a breeze. I didn't have to call to get help with my children but this wasn't the case with my husband's.I was taking my sweet little munchkins to go on a little road trip since there father's have been dicks lately and I wanted them to see that I was passed playing games with them.It's been seven months since I've had the twins, yet both men thought that I was only meant to stay at home and be a parent. Nothing was wrong with it but they were taking it to a whole nother level.Plus there was hardly anything to do at home with my parents around, if my twins cried they'd be the first ones there, they'd be the last ones to rock them to sleep, whenever my babies woke up in the morning

    …That same day…“Here,” Mom said, handing me a plate stacked high with food.“Thanks, but I already ate,” I replied, barely glancing up from my laptop as I continued working on a report.“It’s been two hours since we got here, and not once have I seen you put a single thing in that mouth besides words. Are you trying to starve my grandbabies?” Mom scolded dramatically, placing a hand on her hip.I let out a sigh and gave her an eye roll. “Hayden made me a buffet-sized breakfast this morning, Mom. Eggs, pancakes, avocado toast, fruits, you name it. If I eat any more, it won’t be nurturing, it’ll be overfeeding. You don’t want me to hurt your precious grandbabies with too much food, do you?”Mom scoffed, clearly unconvinced but also unwilling to argue. “Fine,” she said with a dramatic toss of her head. “But in exactly one hour, you’re eating something again whether you like it or not.”She stalked off with the plate, muttering under her breath about stubborn pregnant women.Just when I

    I was placed lovingly down on our bed, the soft sheets welcoming me as if they too knew I needed rest. My husbands continued fussing with the lighting in the room, adjusting the curtains and fluffing pillows, all for the perfect shot of me, and more specifically, my growing stomach. The slight curve was becoming more pronounced, a gentle swell that reminded me with every glance that I was carrying two little lives.Click. Click."Do you have to take a picture every single day?" I groaned, covering my face with a throw pillow. “I swear, you two are worse than paparazzi.”"We’re documenting the miracle," Hunter said smoothly, crouching near the bed to get a better angle."Yeah," Hayden added with a grin. "And let’s be honest, you look hot pregnant."I rolled my eyes at them both. Every day it was like this: photos, videos, little love notes tucked between my vitamins. I knew they meant well, but sometimes I missed the normalcy of the office, the light banter between meetings, even Emily
