Gabby's POV

I kissed him. Hungrily. Yes. I am the one who kissed him. But I don't care. This moment is driving me crazy. He's driving me crazy. I don't care anymore, even if I was the one who kissed him. I just can't help it when he teases me like that.

I'm clinging to him like I'm going to fall any minute. And he holds me like he's afraid I'll fall.

Rei stopped kissing me. He stared me straight in the eyes and I met his gaze. His eyes are full of passion. It's burning with the flames of desire. He's breathing heavily and I can smell his hot breath lingering around me.

"You should know...that we're in a different relationship now," he whispered hoarsely, still looking at me. I'm aware of his hands moving behind me. His hands are caressing my back and I feel so much pleasure just from that.

Who cares? All I want is this moment. This moment only.

He playfully bit my lower lip and licked it. He kissed my face all over again, but not my lips which left me frustrated. I could feel my lips trembling as I waited for his lips to touch mine again, but it didn't happen. I was longing for his kiss, but he refuse to. I'm breathing heavily, then I groaned.

“J-just kiss me, Rei.” I said unconsciously. He smiled then, and in an instant, he claimed my lips and kissed me gently yet the hunger was there. I clung to him, returning his kisses.

I don’t know what this guy do to me. I think I'm getting addicted to his kisses. Like I can't breathe without his kisses. My heart was beating so fast, I thought it will jump out of my chest. It feels like there's a concert going on inside me.

We've almost knocked all the things around,  but we still kept going. He managed to pin me against the glass wall, our lips never parting.

He grabbed on my hips and pulled me up, my legs instinctively wrapping around his torso. My butt felt the cold wood of his desk and I moaned when he bite my lower lip.

I'm sitting at the table now while he's standing in front of me. He's bending his head to reach my lips, proving how tall he is. I gasped when I felt his hand on my breast. He is caressing it while his other hand is on my legs, massaging them. I moaned with pleasure.

Fuck. He's bringing me to the highest cloud just with his touch and kisses. And I couldn’t get enough.

He unbuttoned my shirt. I could feel the cold air brushed against my chest as he undid the buttons halfway. My hands began to move too. I touched his chest and heard him moan softly. I started to unbutton his suit, reaching the third button when his desk phone rang.

My fingers froze, and I stopped returning his kisses. God! I don’t know if I could call it saved by the ring! Rei didn’t seem to care about the phone, ignoring it completely.

“Rei…” I whispered his name, almost breathless, but he was still busy undoing my buttons.

“Hmmm…” he murmured, kissing me again on the lips.

But this couldn’t go on! The phone was ringing — it might be Mavy or someone important. I was reminded of where we were. We’re at our workplace and yet we’re making out. We had to stop. I pushed him away, though every fiber of my being protested.

“What?” he said, confused.

“The phone…” I stammered. Why did he have to sound so annoyed?

He leaned in closer until our bodies were almost pressed together. I thought he was going to continue, so I automatically shut my eyes. But when no kiss landed on my lips, I opened them—only to see him reaching for the telephone behind me.

Damn! My face burned red. I hoped it wasn’t that obvious. It wasn’t… right?

“Hello?” pause. “Yes. I’ll be there. Yes, she’s still here but we’re done… talking.” Then he looked at me and winked teasingly. My cheeks grew even hotter. Did he really have to wink? As if being that handsome wasn’t enough!

“Okay,” he said finally, hanging up the phone.

I felt his eyes on me again, and it made me blush even more. I swear, my entire body must be red by now.

He stepped back and sat down in his swivel chair while I straightened myself up, still sitting on his desk. I didn’t even have the strength to stand.

He rubbed the back of his neck and closed his eyes. I just stared at him. We were both silent. Tsk. Who knew silence could be this deafening?

“I... I have a meeting,” Rei finally said, breaking the silence. I looked at him and nodded. Then he stepped closer to me again.

Damn it! Why does this man always leave me hanging like this? Tsk! That could’ve gone somewhere! Get a grip, Gabrielle Lane. You’re such a flirt!

“C’mon, don’t give me that look, or else I’ll cancel that important meeting,” he said. I immediately lowered my gaze when I realized what he meant. I unconsciously bit my lower lip, and I heard him groan.

“Sh*t,” he muttered under his breath.

I tilted my head up at him. Why was he cussing? Then I saw it—he was blushing, his hand covering his mouth like he was trying to hide something. He was even looking away, and was avoiding my eyes.

“Can... can you fix yourself before I get even more tempted? The meeting is really important,” he said.

My jaw dropped. I thought he was the only one who affects me, but it seems he was also affected, huh? My lips formed a smirk.

“What, I’m not stopping you,” I said.

He groaned and bit his lower lip. “Fuck, Gabby. Please get dress, I’m not kidding. You look so tempting, I’m barely stopping myself.”

The moment he said that, I instinctively looked down at myself.

My breasts were practically out in the open and my cheeks burned. Oh, so this is what he meant! I quickly turned my back to him and fixed my clothes. I even retouched my lipstick since it was smudged.

“God, I’m a mess. This is your fault.” I hissed, just to release some of my embarrassment. God, this is mortifying!

“Nah. You kissed me first,” he said, now sounding calm again—way too calm and teasing.

“Because you tempted me!” I snapped back. He was so annoyingly composed while I was the one completely flustered. I groaned and shook my head.

“You should go back to your ground, Gabby,” he said coolly. “We’ll talk again. Later.”

Then he gave me that damn teasing smile.

Right! Go on, Gabby! Fall for that “we’ll talk again” nonsense and see how that ends up. Probably worse than your “talk” earlier. Damn it! I feel like I made myself look so easy. How humiliating! I swear, I’m never letting myself get carried away by the man again! Never! Ever again!

Fuck, who am I kidding?

“Talk to yourself, Sir,” I said sarcastically, emphasizing the “Sir.” I stormed out of his office, but I heard him laugh behind me. I shake my head.

Rei is such a tease! So annoying! It’s like I completely lost myself for a moment! The man affect me so much, I’d probably erase the word ‘control’ on my vocabulary!

When I got inside the elevator, I leaned on the wall and covered my face with both hands.

Shit. That was close.

That was really... really close.
