MY SECOND CHANCE HUSBAND 65
"What are you reading?" she decided to ask.The beautiful woman walked into the office. Aaron made space between the chair and table so she could sit on his lap. He closed the leather book and placed it on the wood, ending his reading.Granger's office was modern, but it had personal details that the rest of the house did not have. The pictures on the wall had color and life. The portraits on the table recalled happy moments with his mother. It was as if, unlike any other room, this one was special.Elena approached the man and sat across his legs, putting one of her arms around his shoulders."Gustave Flaubert" he replied."French romance" the incredulity in the woman's tone was clear. She couldn't believe someone like Aaron was interested in romance."All French works have a romantic content," he explained, shrugging.Elena smiled, and then Aaron was sure that smile could light up the whole city. The closeness between them was frightening for both of them, and they were afraid of wh

They reached the end of the long hallway, where double doors were located. Aaron opened the doors to the master bedroom; a suite of questionable size with a direct view of the sea. And just like the living room, the bedroom had three glass walls. The rounded bed was perfectly lined with white sheets. The balcony doors were open and the wind that entered the suite was pleasant, with the smell and feeling of the ocean. The floor was light wood, polished and reflected. The furniture was dark, spaced apart and very tasteful. "This bed makes me want to sleep for days" Elena commented. "It's a shame because we have plans for the whole weekend" "We have?" The woman turned to Aaron and saw him confirm with a subtle nod. She furrowed her eyebrows, as she thought the weekend would be so they could rest, enjoy each other's company and strengthen the intimacy they had. "Starting with today". ** The first shoe outside the Range Rover was Elena's Saint Laurent. She descended so elegantly tha

"Can you get the shampoo for me?" Granger asks, suddenly.I look at the holder, where the shampoo is even open, as he has just used it. I furrow my eyebrows. “It’s in front of you.”"It is?" he asks, and then I know he's not making a request of me, he's calling me to come there.I take a deep breath. I used to be a girl who attended church religiously, almost every day. I barely recognize the libertine I have become.I reach for the zipper on the back of the dress, sliding it down. I take off my dress, keeping the diamond necklace on, since I'm not wearing panties. I walk up to Granger, and the splashes of water hit my body.I hug him from behind, scratching his abdomen just to get the feel of his firm muscles and warm skin against my nails. Our bodies come together under the waterfall of water from the ceiling shower, and I rest my forehead against his back.I feel Granger's body tremble, and I realize that the reason is my nails running down his stomach. I press a little more, to le

He walked over to the drinks table, his movements tense and deliberate. Pouring himself a shot, he seemed lost in thought, his mind undoubtedly racing with the implications of the news.Helena's name hung in the air like a heavy weight, suffocating the room with its significance. Damon's next words cut through the silence like a knife. "Now Helena is free from me."The bitterness in his tone was unmistakable, tinged with a hint of resignation. Kesha couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for him, despite everything. "But why do you need her? You have me," she murmured softly.Damon's laugh was sharp and humorless. "You?" he scoffed, his disbelief evident. "You're not useful for my plans."As he downed the tequila in one swift motion, Kesha felt a chill run down her spine. His gaze bore into her, intense and calculating, sending shivers down her spine. "Or maybe..." he trailed off, his voice taking on a dangerous edge.The sudden change in tone made Kesha's heart race, her pulse q

She didn't even understand her own body's reactions. Because even though she was used to Aaron's hands, they always made touch feel new. "Where, principessa? Here?" Aaron's especially deep voice boomed as his palms squeezed Elena's breasts. "No" The fit between the reactions was perfect, so much so that they could barely understand how much they complemented each other. But they didn't need to understand, because understanding was the groans of satisfaction that made the brain stop thinking. She closed her fingers around his strands of hair as Aaron lowered his lips to her throat, licking and kissing the entire expanse of heated skin. "Here?" The man asked, and Elena was only able to shake her head. Aaron continued moving down her body with wet kisses. His hands also went down towards the middle of her legs. The man absorbed the low moans into himself, all combined with the symphony that the ocean played. "Here?" He questioned again. The woman moaned at his proximity to where s

It had been a few days since she visited that police station, thanks for Damon. It was true that he was curious about her visit, trying to decipher something relevant in her face.“Damon and I are no longer together,” she said at once.To say the man's eyes were glassy would be an understatement. Spencer even stopped breathing to hear better. He leaned forward as Elena sat down in one of the chairs. “Damon told me he had… lost control of you. I didn’t think you got divorced.”“It wasn’t a marriage as it seemed. Damon was more of my dictator than my husband” she said angrily. “But I didn’t just come to say that. I came to tell you that this investigation is over. I'm cleaning up the mess Damon made me do, and the first part is this... getting away from everything that threatens Aaron."Elena opened her bag and took out some papers, placing them on the wooden table. Spencer's eyes followed her movements, cautious but very anxious."I did some reporting on my time with Damon. All the tim

'What am I doing?' 'Why am I doing this?' With each passing floor, the tension mounted, until finally, the elevator came to a stop, and the doors slid open to reveal Aaron Granger's office suite. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Kesha stepped out into the corridor, her pulse racing as she approached the imposing double doors that led to Granger's inner sanctum. As the heavy doors swung open, Kesha's breath caught in her throat as she came face to face with Aaron Granger himself. His presence filled the room, exuding an aura of power and authority that made her heart race. She managed a nod of acknowledgment as he greeted her with a subtle nod. "Mr. Granger," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, extending her hand tentatively. He accepted it with a firm shake, his grip strong and commanding. "Please, come in," he gestured, holding the doors open as she stepped into his expansive office space. The opulence of the room was overwhelming, with plush furnishings

The tension in the room escalated as Damon and Elena locked eyes in a silent battle of wills. The weight of their shared history, filled with betrayal and manipulation, hung heavy in the air.Damon's jaw clenched as he struggled to maintain his composure under Elena's unwavering gaze. He knew she was right about the project, but he refused to concede defeat so easily. After all, losing control was not in his nature.Elena, on the other hand, remained composed, her demeanor unwavering despite the turmoil brewing beneath the surface. She had spent years under Damon's thumb, and now that she was finally free, she refused to back down.The lawyer, sensing the mounting tension, cleared his throat nervously. "Well, if there are no further objections, I believe we have reached an agreement," he interjected, attempting to diffuse the palpable animosity in the room. "Proceeds from the project will go to Miss RoseFord."But Damon and Elena remained locked in a silent standoff, each refusing to
