— Make me forget the night, Arthur.
And he didn't wait a second longer.
His lips captured mine with fierce intensity, a perfect blend of tenderness and brutality. Every kiss he gave me consumed me a little more, plunging me into that state of surrender I often sought. My fingers slowly glided along his neck, tracing his burning skin, feeling the powerful beat of his pulse beneath my caresses. Arthur responded by pressing his hand against my nape, holding me against him as he deepened our kiss.
A delicious shiver ran down my spine. I loved it. I loved the way he knew exactly where to touch, how to graze my skin to make me tremble.
He groaned against my lips, his warm breath mingling with mine.
— Still so responsive… he murmured with an amused smile.
I bit his lip in response, my hips pressed against his body, a burning warmth building between us.
— And you, still so impatient… I breathed, brushing my tongue against his ear.
He let out a deep laugh, his hands caressing the curve of my bare thighs. Each touch made me shiver, consuming me with an impatient desire. I didn’t need words with Arthur. Just that feeling. That shiver. That fire. And tonight again, I intended to lose myself in his arms.
Arthur's kisses became more insistent, more heated. His mouth pressed against mine, demanding, and my fingers clung to his neck as if I wanted to surrender completely.
The heat between us was electric, unbearable.
In an impatient gesture, he slid my dress down my body, and I helped him get rid of his shirt. His warm, firm chest pressed against mine, sending an uncontrollable shiver through my skin.
His lips left my mouth to slowly descend along my neck, then lower, savoring every inch of my skin. His skilled hands caressed my curves, my thigh, my breasts, triggering waves of pleasure that made me feverish.
— You’re addictive, Isa… he murmured against my skin, his hoarse voice making me shiver.
I didn’t have time to respond before he grabbed me firmly and lifted me off the ground. A laugh escaped me, but he was already guiding me to his bed, where he tossed me down with controlled brutality. Lying before him, breathless, I looked at him with a provocative smile.
— Go on, show me what you can do… I breathed, challenging.
Arthur didn’t need to be told twice. He leaned over me, his lips capturing mine with fierce intensity, while our bodies tangled in a burning dance. He removed my thong with a finger and hooked it to the bedside, and I openly spread my legs for him to brutally take me as I liked.
He quickly removed his pants to join me, and once his body pressed against my chilly skin, I shuddered with pleasure once again and could feel his hard erection against my hips. The silence of the room was soon broken by the whisper of our intertwined breaths, a secret language that belonged only to us. I was already at his mercy, wet, soaking my thighs. I felt the liquid running down my legs.
Then he plunged into me just the way I loved.
Every brush, every thrust, every penetration, every caress ignited uncontrollable shivers in me, a wave of heat spreading under my skin like a fire he stoked with disconcerting mastery.
— Arthur… I breathed, almost sighing, as his lips slowly glided over my body, tracing burning paths on my feverish skin.
His hands roamed my curves with exquisite slowness, alternating softness and firmness, igniting my impatience. My nipples hardened as he moved in and out of me.
A hoarse moan escaped his throat as I arched beneath him, seeking more, always more.
— You’re perfect… he murmured against my skin, his deep voice vibrating against my belly.
I shivered at his words, at this voice that consumed me. The shivers soon transformed into waves of pleasure that overwhelmed me. Our breaths quickened, our bodies synchronized in a silent and fiery dance. Every movement, every contact was a blend of softness and fervor. Our moans echoed in the room, an intimate melody of shared pleasure.
I was losing myself in this sensation, in this warmth that ignited my body and mind.
And when our breaths united in a final shiver of ecstasy, there was nothing else but this night, this moment suspended between dream and reality. Our burning bodies moved in unison, carried away by an uncontrollable, feverish rhythm. The heat between us was suffocating, intoxicating, each tremor amplifying the pleasure, each sigh weighing the air with exquisite tension.
Arthur whispered my name between ragged breaths, his hoarse and trembling voice mingling with my own moans. His hands, feverish, clung to my hips, guiding me with devastating precision toward that thin boundary between reason and total surrender.
— Isa… he breathed, his forehead pressed against mine, his lips parted against my burning skin.
The pleasure mounted, intense, relentless, consuming us in an uncontrollable fever. And then… the explosion. A violent shiver coursed through me, pinning me in a state of pure surrender. A moan escaped my lips, long, trembling, uncontrollable.
Arthur let out a deep growl, his fingers sinking into my skin as he too was swept away by the same crashing wave. Our short and irregular breaths filled the room, echoing absolute pleasure.
I let my head fall back onto the pillow, still trembling, still captive to the intensity of the moment. Arthur, panting, traced his fingers along my arm, a satisfied smile floating on his lips.
— Still so delicious… he whispered with a playful sparkle in his voice.
I let out a light laugh, still caught in that cottony state where only pleasure existed. And as our bodies entwined beneath the rumpled sheets, I savored this comforting warmth, this ephemeral fullness that left me exquisite and satiated.
Chapter 40Élodie's point of view -I should never have come in without hitting. When I pushed the door of Clara's office, I expected everything ... except that. Victor and Clara. Together. His tone threatening. Clara's frozen expression. And then ... his words. "Between you and me, it's over. There will never be anything between us." My heart tightens suddenly. I have the breath. A thrill travels my spine. I surprised something I should never have heard. Victor's gaze crosses mine. He panic. He stutter my first name:- Élodie ... I'm not waiting for the rest. - Sorry. I immediately close the door and move away. My throat is knotted. My legs suddenly seem heavier. Why ... why did he keep that for him? Why did he never tell me that Clara was her ex? I pass the scene in a loop in my head. Victor said it clearly: "There will never be anything between us.""Never again" ... Which means there has already been something. A bitter taste invades my mouth. No matter how much I try to
Chapter 39Victor's point of viewThe phone still in hand, I close my eyes for a moment. - It's confirmed, sir. The cameras were tampered with. My jaw is tense. I inspire slowly. -Thank you, I said to him before hanging up. My gaze is going to the door of Clara's office. If it's not Elodie ... she is her. I clench my fists. Everything in her shouts guilt. I cross the corridor with a heavy step. Each step is accompanied by a climb of anger. Did she dared? When I arrive in front of her desk, I find her plunged into her screen, concentrated. His fingers hit the keyboard with ease, as if none of that was real. As if she had not just played with the work, reputation and dignity of Elodie. My hand trembles. I want to catch her, shake her, force her to admit. But suddenly, an image arises. My mother. The dry noise of a slap resonates in my skull. The cries. My standing, imposing father, the burning look of rage. And my mother, fragile, curled up on the ground. One evening when he had
Chapter 38From Elodie's point of viewI sit at my office, focused on a backrest, when the door opens suddenly. Victor enters without hitting. His face is closed, his eyes dark and cold. I frowns. What takes him? -Where were you at noon yesterday? He asks dry. I raise my head, surprise. - On lunch break, why? He doesn't answer right away. He advances towards me, places his laptop on my desktop and pivots the screen to me. - Look at. On the screen, a document appears. A quote, a signature ... mine. I feel my heart contracting. - What is that? Victor meets his arms. - A document that you signed. A document that could harm the business. I blink, stunned. - What ?! But ... I never signed that! I get upset, taking the computer in my hands. My gaze scans each line, and there I feel panic to go up. - Victor, I swear that I have never seen this paper. He says nothing. His silence ice. - Victor ... I assure you. I would know if I had signed that. Still nothing. He fixes me, im
Chapter 37Clara's point of viewI observe it, this Élodie. Still there, always smiling, as if she had won the jackpot of the year by putting her hand on Victor. It is to vomit. She doesn't deserve it. Before she landed in this company, Victor and I were inteparable. He came to my office, we shared late dinners, we often finished our nights together, in crumpled sheets and muffled sighs. But all that was before she appeared from nowhere with her innocent little air. She stole me what belonged to me. I clench my fists while watching her pass in front of my office. She is arrogant, she believes she has won. But she does not know who she is dealing with. RumorsI started with the first step: the whispers in the corridors. It only takes a few words well placed to good people. - "You knew that Elodie had this position thanks to a relationship with a framework?"- "She makes management errors, but Victor covers her because they go to bed together."- "She does not have the level for thi
36Isa's point of viewThe night was soft, the slightly fresh air caressed my skin while I was waiting for Élodie near the car with Victor. The restaurant lights projected a sifted light on the sidewalk, creating a calm and almost intimate atmosphere. Victor was by my side, his gaze lost in the void, his hands in the pockets of his elegant coat. He gave off a presence that I had never really noticed before. I had known him for a long time, before he became this influential and sure man of him. Before he was the one that my sister loved today. I turned my head towards him and broke the silence with a posed voice:- You really changed, Victor. He seemed to get out of his thoughts and looked at me with a slight smile. - Well, I hope? I let out a little laugh. - Yes, in good. You have become a powerful man, thoughtful ... You are no longer the carefree young boy whom I once knew. He haussed an eyebrow, amused. - Did you see me carefree, at the time? I shrugged, crossing my arms
Chapter 35Elodie's pointThis dinner was an idea of Victor. A way to "spend time with my family", as he said. He wanted to know Isabelle better, and I found it adorable. But at this precise moment, I almost regretted having accepted. Sitting in front of him, I watched him laugh with my sister, a wine cup in hand. And then, he dropped this sentence, which immediately made me raise an eyebrow. - Isabelle, you grew up in a strange way ... But I must admit that you have become really beautiful. Pardon ? I slowly turned my head towards him, slightly tightening my fork. Isabelle, she laughed, a little embarrassed but amused. - Oh thank you, Victor. It's nice, even if "in a strange way" sounds weird. Victor shrugged with a smirk. - It's not negative, it's just that ... I knew you a teenager, and now you are a woman. It's funny. I may know that there was no ulterior motive, a wave of jealousy rose in me like an uncontrollable reflex. I put my wine cutting on the table a little too a
