Wesley POV

I woke up with a smile on my face.

The morning light was already coming in through the blinds.

I just laid there, blinking at the brightness, letting yesterday settle back into my bones.

The memories of the carnival and the Photo Booth filled my head again.

I replayed every moment in my head before I even moved.

Then I became aware of the hardness pressing against my stomach, and I let out a low groan.

I was rock hard, thanks to Bowie. She found a way to bleed into my sleep

  • Love or Lust   Chapter 8: Consequences

    Ava groaned as she buried her face into the pillow as soon as she plopped onto her bed.She couldn’t believe she actually thought Adrian Blackwood was interested in her. But what was more embarrassing was the wetness between her legs. Even after he sent her out of his office like that, her body still reacted to him.She shook her head and forced herself out of bed to get rid of her work clothes.Her roommate- Rosa wasn’t home. The apartment was so cold and quiet, the heater in the room barely worked. Ava stripped out of her clothes and walked into the shower, she stood under it for approximately four minutes to warm up before she eventually gave up and stepped out, wrapping a towel around herself and sitting on the edge of her bed.Her thighs were still shaking a little, not from the cold, but from the thought of Adrian.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw his face, that rawness in his gaze when he had called her name.She replayed his low voice, telling her she was be

  • Love or Lust   Chapter 7: Art of Temptation

    “My office, Ms. Bennett.” The intercom clicked off.Ava stared at the phone for a moment before looking through the glass. Adrian was already watching her.He sat behind his desk with one hand resting beside his laptop.Ava hated that she noticed things like that now. She hated even more that she noticed them without trying.She picked up her tablet and walked into his office.“Close the door.” Adrian said quietly.She did. The soft click was louder than it should have been.“Sit.”Ava took the chair opposite him. He pushed a thick folder across the desk.“I need you to review these before five.”She stared at it.“That’s almost three hundred pages.”“I’m aware.”“And you want them reviewed today?”“Yes.”She looked up at him. There was a challenge in his expression, subtle but unmistakable.She opened the folder.“What exactly am I looking for?”“Anything inconsistent. Financial projections, contractual obligations, missing signatures, revised figures. Harrington sent an upd

  • Love or Lust   Chapter 6: Tease and Tension

    Tuesday morning arrived with a cruel, sudden brightness.Ava woke up and the first thing she felt wasn't the softness of her sheets or the lingering haze of sleep. It was the memory of Adrian Blackwood. Specifically, the way his voice had sounded in the office yesterday evening- that deep, authoritative rasp that seemed to vibrate right through her skin.She stared at the ceiling, her chest tightening. Then she yanked the blanket over her head, trying to smother the thought.“No.”Two days. She had known the man for forty-eight hours, and he had already managed to own her subconscious. It was ridiculous and yet it seemed completely out of her control.Especially after the way he had looked at her last night, like she was a puzzle he wasn’t supposed to solve, yet he couldn't stop trying.She groaned into the fabric, the scent of her own laundry doing nothing to erase the phantom smell of his expensive cologne.“Get a grip, Ava.”> By 7:50, Ava was already steppin

    He shoved the glass door of the walk-in shower open and twisted the handle all the way to hot. Steam covered the glass due to the hot water and he stepped directly under the shower, letting the warm water crash over his head and down his spine.He planted both palms flat against the cold black tile, leaning his full weight into his arms. He waited for his pulse to slow and for his mind to clear the way it had every night for fifteen years.But it didn't clear, his every single thought was still focused on Ava Bennett.He closed his eyes and all he could see was her in that silk blouse and tight skirt that snug over the round curve of her ass.Why couldn't he stop thinking about her?He had dealt with attraction before.He wasn't inexperienced.He knew how to handle himself.But this felt different.Maybe because she didn't act like everyone else around him.Or maybe because she challenged him.She wasn't afraid to argue with him.She wasn't trying to impress him.She didn

  • Love or Lust   Chapter 4: Wild Thoughts

    The silence in Adrian’s penthouse was usually the one thing he could count on.Seventy-two floors above the city, behind a door that had cost more than most people’s houses.Nothing ever bothered him here.He locked the door behind him, tossed his keys into the small bowl on the console table, and stood there in the foyer for a moment, letting the cold, conditioned air settle over him.Then he took off his jacket and threw it over the back of the chair before walking toward the bar.The apartment was exactly the way he liked it- clean, dark and completely his.There were no photographs on the walls. No lingering scent of another human being.It was like an impenetrable vault designed for a man who could not afford to be caught off guard.Usually, the space helped him clear his head after a long day.But tonight, it wasn’t working. Adrian poured himself a glass of neat bourbon and watched the amber liquor coat the glass, and drank half of it in one burning gulp, but

  • Love or Lust   Chapter 3: Through the glass

    By ten, the floor was already full and Ava understood that the executive floor at Blackwood Group operated at a different frequency that she had seen nowhere. Everyone hurried, barely walking. There was a low constant sound of keyboards over voices and the distant chime of an elevator arriving with another person who had somewhere to be. Twice she looked up and caught Adrian looking at her through the glass with that same puzzled look.She shook her head and diverted her eyes, ignoring the constant tingles between her thighs. At around noon, a man walked out of the elevator and stopped right in front of her desk.He was as tall as Adrian- 6’4 at least, a neatly cut buzz-cut and trimmed beards. His shoulders were as broad as Adrian’s, but without the familiar stiffness. This man seemed more relaxed and the smile he wore on his face screamed mischievous. "You are the new one," he pointed at her with the smile still on his face."Ava Bennett." She introduced."Vict
