Chapter 40Lexi I gazed at the beautiful woman whose name was Hanna as she rubbed up against Richard like he was a stripper pole.I couldn't help but feel a little disgusted by her blatant display of desperation.“What are you doing here, Hannah?” Richard asked. His voice sounded different, clipped and flat, almost tired even.“What's the matter? Aren't you happy to see me?” she pouted like a toddler trying not to throw a tantrum. I was doing everything in my power not to roll my eyes.“I'm glad you're alright.” Richard said curtly.He looked so uncomfortable, it was amusing. I had seen the man act flirty and cold but never uncomfortable. If anything he was the one making people uncomfortable.“Thank you, baby,” she said,.kissing his cheeks.Richard pushed her back gently, creating space between them. Of course it didn't actually work because she was back invading his space again.“Right. Well, I have to now. I am swamped today.”“Nonsense, I can help you out. I don't have anything
LexiRichard opened the car door and gestured for me to enter.I stared at the car seat like it was filled with nails and thorns, racking my head for an excuse to tell him.My eyes lit up when I thought of one.“I have to go pick up your laundry and I just called an Uber,” I said, sounding as naturally as I possibly could.“Lilian will get the laundry and cancel the Uber,” he countered, giving me a knowing look.I licked my lips. There was no getting out of this one with him.“I don't have all day Lexi,” he said, his voice firm, turning boss mode instantly.I groaned, feeling my heart beat against my chest.I nodded and stepped forward.I paused in front of him, his very masculine scent wafting into my nostrils as if trying to remind me of what we'd done last night.With a sigh, I slipped into the car.Richard slipped in beside me, forcing me to scoot to the other side of the window.“Take us to Cravats enterprise.” He said to his driver. The man nodded and drove into traffic.The si
Lexi My heart pounded against my chest like the drums of a rock band as I ran out the elevator.I kissed him…I fucking kissed him! The man I was supposed to hate.“Oh, Lexi you dumbass!” I yelled at myself, facepalming myself as I moved through the empty and quiet lobby.My voice echoed back to me in the very empty space. I almost felt like a crazy person.I didn't want to think. I just wanted to get home and forget what I had just done.But as I rode home in a cab, that was all I could think about and… feel.His lips, his tongue, his hard dick that pressed against my stomach as he tongue fucked my mouth.I blushed crimson, feeling ashamed of myself.What was I thinking?Why had I let him seduce me so easily?I couldn't blame it on the alcohol now because I was definitely not drunk.“Thank you,” I said to the driver as soon as I got down from the car.I paid the man and I went up to my apartment, replaying the kiss over hand over again like a broken record.He definitely thought h
Chapter 37Richard.It happened so fast, one minute she was walking away from me, the next she was grabbing my face and crashing her luscious lips against mine like a starved woman.I didn't waste any time— didn't even think, I pulled her flushed against my body, savoring the heat of her sensual body that fit into mine like glue–—as she kissed me like her next breath depended on it. I could taste her desire. She tasted like soda, spice and her.I was breathless, intoxicated by her need and desire for me. Not to mention overcome by my desire for her.Her lips were softer than I remembered.I was drowning but I fought to be in control. “Fuck,” I moaned as I picked her up. She straddled me, pressing her body against mine as she tilted her head to get a better angle.Her body melted into mine like pudding.I was on cloud nine. Both our breaths became shallow as we kissed. She grinded up against my body.My dick hardened in my pants and all I could think about was being inside her“Lex
LexiFor the next three days I was swamped with work.Nobody told me being an assistant meant constantly assisting and managing. At some point, I felt like I should have asked for a raise before agreeing to this plan.Not only had I gone to every single meeting with Richard, I had been responsible for calling about his laundry, his doctor's appointment. Everything.I also had to cancel appointments he was either no longer interested or couldn't make.It all sounded easy on paper but in reality, I was barely able to catch my breath. In fact, I was of the opinion that I needed my own assistant because I was drowning.Or course I didn't let it show. I wasn't going to give Richard any form of satisfaction.It was 7pm and we were both still in the office. I was helping him with the final touches in a presentation he had to deliver tomorrow. My eyes ached from staring at spreadsheets all day, and my fingers were cramping from nonstop typing. Richard sat beside me, sleeves rolled up, tie loo
Lexi I flinched as my mug of coffee crashed on the ground, breaking into two pieces. “Ugh!” I groaned as I pulled up a mop. “Careful sis,” Jason said through FaceTime. “It's fine. How is mom?” I asked Jason as I tried to clean up the coffee I had spilled on my kitchen floor. “She is doing great actually. She is asleep now but she misses you.” That warmed my heart. The fact that my mother was recovering well made me feel less anxious. She was all I had…if you didn't count my bozo of a brother. I sighed, holding the mop against my chin. “I know. I miss her too. I wish I could come over but I have to work.” “That's right. You actually working for Richie now?” I glared at my brother with narrowed eyes. “Richie?” I asked in obvious contempt. “That's what I call him.” He shrugged. “What. you. call. him… are you still in contact with him?” I asked in disbelief. “Uh…” He scratched his head guiltily. “Look he's my friend, okay. He's helped a lot.” I wanted to be
