LOGINChapter 65: ReckoningAs they slept in their cocoon of love, morning light swept through the beach house windows. Sunlight glistening over Olivia's sensual waistline and bulging breasts as Olivia wakes up in the bed. Guilt suddenly hits her, as she has broken the bounds of her marriage. James notices her guilt and tells her that they will keep their affair hidden from everyone. Olivia reminds him that this was it, and they were never meeting in private again. James stays silent, and says ," Liv, i am open to anything, we can always meet whenever you want". Olivia dresses herself and says, "I don't want to complicate things more than they have to, i still have to deal with Jake, as he is suspicious of our affair." James drops Olivia off to her house, as she prepares for "the lighting consultation" with Jake. She dresses in green simple clothing. It wasn't transparent like yesterday's white, but it draped low at the front, hinting at the curve of her breasts without fully revealing
Chapter 64: Lines CrossedOlivia stood quickly, smoothing her shirt, her breath shallow. She calls James to pick her up from her house."Yes. Soon" James replies. She avoided James's eyes as they left.The drive back was thick with unspoken tension. James gripped the steering wheel, knuckles white. Olivia stared out the passenger window, the image of Jake's arm pressed against her breast replaying in her mind. The touch had ignited a confusing mix of hollowness and a reckless, defiant heat.Silence stretched. Then, tentatively, Olivia said, “just this one last time”, and reached across the console. Her fingers, cool and soft, brushed the back of James's hand on the gearshift. He flinched. Slowly, deliberately, her hand slid onto his thigh. He inhaled sharply. Her touch was light at first, then her palm pressed flat against the growing tightness in his jeans. Her fingers traced the outline of his erection through the fabric."Olivia..." James breathed, a warning and a plea tangled to
Chapter 63: The TextThe silence in James’s car was a physical thing, thick and suffocating, broken only by the angry hum of the engine and the rhythmic thump of the tires on the pavement. Olivia stared straight ahead, the neon lights of the passing city painting fleeting patterns on her face, unable to look at James. The phantom pressure of Jake’s hand trapping hers, the deliberate scrape of his knuckles across her breast – it all replayed in her mind, a loop of thrilling transgression and chilling consequence. She could still feel the imprint of his possessive grip on her thigh.James drove with rigid control, his knuckles white on the steering wheel. The fury radiating from him was palpable, a contained inferno that filled the small space. He hadn’t spoken since slamming the trailer door. Every muscle in his body seemed locked in combat with the urge to… do what? Turn the car around? Confront Jake? Demand answers from her?Olivia risked a glance. His profile was sharp in the dashb
Chapter 62: Dangerous GamesThe construction site was a maze of half-built walls and scaffolding, the scent of fresh concrete and sawdust thick in the air. Olivia walked ahead of James and Jake, her hips swaying subtly in her tight jeans, the sheer white shirt still clinging to her curves. She could feel both men’s eyes on her—James’s gaze burning with restrained desire, Jake’s lingering with something darker, more possessive.“So, the main lobby’s going to be here,” Jake said, his voice smooth as he gestured toward the open space. “Marble floors, floor-to-ceiling windows—luxury all the way.”James nodded, forcing himself to focus on the blueprints rather than the way Olivia’s breasts rose with each breath, the outline of her lace bra still teasingly visible. “Right. And the appliances we just ordered should fit perfectly in the kitchen layout.”Olivia turned, brushing past Jake deliberately, letting her arm graze his. “What about the lighting? Soft or industrial?”Jake smirked, step
Chapter 61: Temptation in AislesMeanwhile, at construction site, as discussed Olivia and James go fishing for appliances. The midday sun glared through the windshield as James gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles whitening. Olivia sat beside him, her skin-tight white shirt translucent under the light, the lace of her black bra peeking through like a forbidden secret. Her jeans hugged her curves with every shift in her seat, and James’s gaze kept darting toward her, drawn like a moth to flame.The delicate fabric clung to her skin, the outline of her black lace bra teasing him with every breath she took.James couldn’t help but steal glances at her. The way her full breasts pressed against the thin material, the dusky peaks of her nipples just visible through the fabric—it was driving him mad. His fingers tightened around the steering wheel, his mind replaying their forbidden encounter from days ago.“You’re quiet today,” Olivia remarked, her voice casual, though the hint of a smi
Chapter 60: The Price of PowerRachel adjusted the cups of her blouse, willing her hands to stop trembling. The elevator ride to Mr. Chris’s office felt suffocating, each passing floor tightening the noose around her. Her phone buzzed in her palm—another text from Dominic. She didn’t look at it. She already knew what it would say.The doors slid open with a quiet chime. The receptionist barely glanced at her before gesturing toward the frosted glass doors at the end of the hall.“Go right in. He’s expecting you.”Of course he was.Rachel squared her shoulders, pushing through the doors. Mr. Chris sat behind an expansive oak desk, expression unreadable. The city skyline stretched behind him, the morning sun painting the glass with gold and steel. Mr. Chris’s shirt sleeves rolled to his elbows, a glass of bourbon in hand. The room behind him was all low lighting and leather, the air thick with cigar smoke and ambition. “Rachel,” he said, stepping aside. “I wondered how long you’d resis
