KENDRICK'S POV"My perfect woman." I smirked, staring right at the screen, watching Rebecca as she ate the breakfast I made before I left.Stupid board of directors.If I hadn’t been skipping meetings to accompany Becca, I wouldn’t have left so early."Kendrick…"My father’s voice bored inside my ears, and I lifted my eyes from my phone.The entire board of directors were staring right back at me. The smile on my face drained as I realized I was still in the meeting."KENDRICK! You have been on your phone since you got here. Is this how you are going to lead the Reyes Corporation?"I scoffed, pressing my hand against the side button so the screen would go off as I placed my phone on the table."Dad, what’s the matter? Weren’t you the one that wanted me to get you a daughter-in-law?"The board of directors roared with faint chuckles, some of them already nudging themselves."This boy…" my dad gritted his teeth.I rubbed my temple lazily as I leaned against the table. "I already read al
REBECCA'S POVWas this what desire felt? It was intoxicating and overwhelming.What was worse was that I had no idea what to do with all of these emotions.It was like everything I felt shattered right before my eyes and now I didn't know how to keep them back, or even if I wanted to.Kendrick's lips found mine again and slowly he slid to the side. My gaze followed, confusion clouding my senses as he took me inside his arms."Sleep," he whispered.I stiffened, feeling my core still throbbing from the heat. I almost couldn't believe my ears."Sleep?" I repeated after him. He snuggled, locking his arms around my waist."If I didn't know better, I'd say that you sound disappointed. Were you expecting me to take things even further?"My ears burned as I turned my face away from him, flashes of what we did already boring deep inside my mind.How did he expect me to just sleep after all of that, and why was I so disappointed?"I hate you," I grumbled under my breath, snatching my robe upwar
REBECCA'S POVShallow breaths hissed out as I crashed my lips against his, locking tightly as though my very existence depended on it.He tasted even better than I remembered—warm, intoxicating, familiar yet entirely new.Both my palms cupped his cheeks, fingers trembling as I slid my tongue past his moan, drawing a deeper sound from Kendrick’s throat. His groan vibrated against my lips, making my chest tighten with a dizzying rush.He dragged his teeth lightly over my bottom lip, sending sparks racing through my nerves. His head tilted from side to side, guiding the kiss with a hunger that matched my own.Each movement grew rougher, more desperate, as though neither of us could get close enough, as if one kiss would never be enough.Slowly, I felt his hand move gently from my back, twisting inside my hair until he forced me away from his mouth.His mouth showered kisses from my chin, crawling lightly while I closed my eyes, feeling the ghost of his movements hovering.His nose start
REBECCA'S POVThe answer was a little bit of both. I was a little bit scared of height and God forbid Felix to hold a woman like this... or at least maybe it was just me.Even as Kendrick had me pinned against his body, his palm firmly locked around my thigh, Felix's response hammered through my head through the heat of the moment."God, you're so heavy. Lose some weight and maybe I would consider." He would say whenever I tried to get him to even try to lift me. My hands tightened around Kendrick’s neck, fingers brushing through the softness of his hair. The overwhelming urge to dig my nails into the thick strands nearly consumed me.“Am I… heavy?” I asked, shame prickling my skin at the ridiculousness of the question. Yet I wanted to know. I needed to hear it from him.Kendrick’s brow arched slowly, his gaze dragging over me before one corner of his mouth lifted. His hands slid lower from my thigh, locking together firmly under my ass and pulling me closer until my body melted int
REBECCA'S POVThe sound of my voice shuffled back inside my mouth, forcing it harshly down my throat as my legs wiggled."Why do you always have to be so loud, every goddamn time, Becca… It makes me wonder when you're ever going to be a good girl." The deep voice brushed through the tip of my ears.My eyes moved to the side but I couldn't see his face because he was leaning over me, but I knew it was him… Kendrick Reyes. But there was something off about him today.He was in all black—not his usual nightrobe. If I was not overthinking, he was just stepping inside.I could feel my nose tickle from the morning dew that still clung to his sensational cologne.Slowly, his body brushed my arm as he moved back, his palm still placed against my mouth while I panted."I am going to take my hands off, don't scream and wake everyone. Do you understand?"My breath gushed out, lashes flickering from his face and then to his palm. His fingers were somehow damp, and that would mean he was the one
FELIX'S POV"That bitch, how dare she treat me like this?" I hissed, pacing through the balcony. My fingers pressed coldly against the glass like my life depended on it.From where I stood, I could hear water gushing from the bathroom. I exhaled sharply, realizing that Anna was inside.My head cocked backward as I chugged down a gulp."What do I do? My grandfather is furious and my father is about to go crazy because his wife and his precious daughter are missing. What do I do?" My fingers seized the glass harder and I groaned.Should I just accept the deal? What if she really does something bad to them? Ever since the issue with William, I noticed she is even angrier and aggressive.Could what she said about Anna be true? The woman I know would never hurt a child."Babe…" Anna's soft tiny voice slipped through my ears as her hands curved over my waist. Her scent mingled with the alcohol that dulled my senses."Come over to the bed, it's been a while since we slept together. Our baby
