LOGIN[Zevyn]My fingers gradually slowed before coming to a complete stop on the keyboard.I let out a quiet breath, my jaw shifting as I fought the urge to keep pretending I was busy. Then, slowly, I lifted my eyes from the screen and looked at the woman standing just in front of the door. My throat bobbed the instant our eyes met.Her hair was gathered into a messy bun, with a few loose strands framing her face. She was dressed in that pink robe, its collar loosely folded around her neck, and her lower lip was caught between her teeth. Her fingers seemed to be holding the robe together as she stood there, looking almost as though she wasn't entirely sure what to do with herself. I stared at her green eyes.Those fucking eyes she'd denied me the pleasure of looking into for far too long."Hi," Alma said, her voice barely above a whisper.My brows knitted together. I tilted my head slightly, studying her face.Hi?Was she being fucking serious right now?After days of avoiding me, taking
[Zevyn]I shouldn't be caring about her this much.I shouldn't be worried about the fact that she'd suddenly felt the need to stay away from me over the past week. And it certainly shouldn't be the reason I was sitting right in front of my laptop, staring at a pile of emails I was supposed to attend to, without having the slightest interest in reading a single one.She is just bait.A woman who had somehow, almost magically, become the reason I could close my eyes and get some fucking sleep. And, most importantly, the woman I needed to get Henry out of hiding.That was all she should ever be to me.Nothing more.But no matter how many times I reminded myself of that, I couldn't seem to push the growing irritation aside. The way she'd been avoiding me over the past week had become fucking alarming, and I was beginning to lose my patience trying to figure out what had suddenly changed.I'd tried to think back over every conversation we'd had, every interaction, every little thing I migh
[Alma]"How is he supposed to stay if I leave for two whole days?" I mumbled under my breath.I stared at myself for what felt like forever, trying to gather enough courage to walk out of the room. Eventually, I smoothed the robe over my body, running my palms down the fabric and brushing away an invisible crease. I adjusted the knot around my waist, took another breath, and finally turned towards the door.My fingers closed around the handle.For a moment, I hesitated.Then I pulled it open and stepped into the hallway.The moment I started walking, each step suddenly felt heavier than the last. I knew exactly where I was going, and I knew exactly what I needed to tell him. I'd repeated the words in my head so many times that I could practically hear myself saying them."I'll be gone for two days. I hope that's not a problem.""Can you stay by yourself? How will you be able to sleep?""If there's no way out, maybe I would cancel with Sienna."I shook my head as the last thought crept
[Alma]Two days later...I bit down on the inside of my cheek as I stood by the window, staring outside without really seeing anything. My eyes followed the movement of a few leaves swaying in the breeze, but my mind was somewhere else entirely. I had been standing there for several minutes, and I still hadn't found the courage to do the one thing I'd been thinking about since morning.Sienna's birthday.This camping trip should have been exactly what I'd been looking forward to over the past few weeks. A chance to get away from Zevyn, even if only for a day or two. A chance to spend some time with my friends without having to constantly remind myself that the man I was desperately trying to get over was somewhere in the same house.I wasn't talking about leaving permanently. I wasn't planning to disappear or never come back. I just wanted a few days away from him, away from his voice, his scent, his ridiculously handsome face, and those little things he kept doing that made forgettin
[Alma]"I don't mind if you have it all, Princess."Goodness.My fingers curled tightly around the files as I lowered my lashes, trying to find somewhere else to look besides his face.Why did he have to say things like that?Why did he have to make it so damn difficult for me to keep my distance?I bit the inside of my cheek, fighting the ridiculous urge to close the distance between us and slam my lips against his. My eyes flickered towards his mouth for the briefest second before I forced them away.I wanted him so bad.I wanted him so bad that it fucking hurt.It had been over a week, maybe even longer, since I'd felt those lips against mine. Since I'd had his hand wrapped around my waist, pulling me close enough to feel the warmth of his body. And all because I'd been so determined to avoid him. All because I wanted every single feeling I was beginning to develop for this man to disappear before it consumed me completely.But, of course, with every passing day, he made that so fu
[Alma]"What?" Sienna yelled. "Alma, what did you do?""I said I already have the papers signed, and I'll be resuming work on Monday as the new CEO.""You..." Sienna gasped.Whatever else she'd intended to say seemed to catch in her throat. I waited, holding the phone firmly against my ear, but nothing came. The silence stretched for several seconds, so long that I eventually pulled the phone away and glanced at the screen to make sure the call hadn't disconnected.It hadn't.I brought it back to my ear just as her voice came through."Oh, okay," she finally said.My brows creased.That was it? Wasn't she practically yelling at me just a moment ago? I stared at the phone, almost expecting her to continue arguing or remind me again why accepting the company was a terrible idea. Instead, her tone had suddenly changed, and I couldn't quite understand what to make of it."Since that's what you want, then that's okay. Remember, my birthday is in three days... We have to celebrate this new
[Zevyn]My jaw clenched so hard I knew my teeth would crack if I didn't let go."Urghh." The woman on her knees moaned, her head bumping harder against my cock to impress me— or perhaps make me increase her pay, I couldn't care less.I was getting bored, but I needed her to keep going, I needed to
[Alma] "It happens on my terms." I blinked. Hard. My heartbeat thudded loudly in my chest as I stared at the man in front of me, struggling to focus on what he just said. My breath came out thinner than I wanted as I held it together, forcing my shoulders to stay relaxed even when everything in
[Alma]"Be there in an hour." That was all I heard before the line went dead. My heart thumped so loudly in my chest, I'm sure the cab driver could hear it.My hand trembled as I gripped my phone like a lifeline, my eyes fixed directly on the screen.If he said he'll send an address, then he will..
[Alma]Wrong.Wrong.Wrong.The words echoed in my head relentlessly as I knelt there—shameless—staring up at a stranger’s cock like I wasn’t fucking married.I should leave.Stand up and run as far as I could.This was wrong.I can’t be doing this—But my body wouldn’t listen.It felt like my mind
