MasukWhat do you think? Is Luke a player?
"What are we doing?" she asks with a curious smile."Well, I would've loved to actually take you out on a date, but you are still sick, so we are watching a movie at home," I state, a little embarrassed. But my heart pounds in my chest when she shines that bright smile on me."Sounds fun!" she giggles.I pull her to the couch. I thought about having her sit by me but gave into my need to be closer to her and ended up having her sit on my lap. This is so much better. I can hold her in my arms and feel every dip and curve.She didn't even protest! She just cuddled right up to me.I have no idea what to put on, so I give her the remote. I have a feeling I'll be too distracted by her to pay attention anyway.To my utmost shock, she put on Star Trek! "I didn't take you for a Trekkie," I chuckled. "Since when are you the sci-fi type?""Well, it's a good story! Plus, it's Chris Pine, so win-win," she teases.Now I'm jealous! And I have the urge to take her attention away from the cocky man o
Hunter's POVAfter we finally took out the trash, this week has actually been really amazing! I don't remember a time that I've felt so... carefree and happy. It's like starting a new life all over again.I haven't been able to stop smiling, and people are starting to notice. Justin asked me if I'd sleeping with my new girlfriend. I know I mentioned Chelsea a time or two, but I haven't officially called her my girlfriend yet. Maybe I should change that.I also have not been sleeping with her. Not that I haven't been dreaming about it every damn night and waking up with a fucking boner I need to take care of in the shower.No, the reason I've been smiling so much at work (even though Chels might be a big part of it) is for a completely different reason entirely.No Mark screwing me over at work, and no bimbo daughter trying to get her claws in me any chance I get. Each day I don't have to see their faces I take as a victory. And the whole damn crew is celebrating!And Justin has been g
There are a couple smaller cars there. They must belong to his staff... That's good. I could never be expected to do something as lowly as housework! Daddy said I was born for better things. And of course I was!I wait for a few minutes, adjusting my lingerie and my hair. Putting on my lipstick and spraying on my perfume. There is simply no way he can reject me now!I take a deep breath.Confidence! That is what he needs! He needs to see me asserting my prowess as a female. It will turn him on for sure. I'll seduce him into falling in love with me. He'll think he can't live without me. He'll realize what a mistake he's made and invite me to live with him right away.I close my door and sashay my way up his steps, opening up my coat to show up my sexy garments I'd got just for him, then ring the doorbell. I wonder if he has a butler? Or will he answer the door himself? It doesn't matter...I'm impatient to get this done with. Why the hell is he taking so long? He just came home!Just t
Portia's POVHOW THE FUCK DARE HE? Doesn't he know we were meant to be together? Didn't he know that merger he was supposed to sign was about him marrying me? Didn't he know we were supposed to rule his kingdom together? And if we got a divorce, I'd still get half of everything he owns.I'm gorgeous and he's rich! That's how it works! I can be his eye candy and boss around his lowly little worms! I don't care how many times I have to break his damn restraining order. I'm going to win him over. Besides, what can a piece of paper do when fate is on the line?And he fucking called the cops and hauled me away! I was naked! He didn't even give me the dignity of getting my clothes back this time! He just shoved me about like a piece of shit! I'm worth so much more than that!I'm not stupid. I'm more than aware he has a restraining order out on me. But that doesn't mean I'm not trying to change his mind! All he can do is call the police and have them haul me away over and over again. I'm goi
It seems like I'm not the only one spoiling for a fight. I can feel him drilling holes into me, but he doesn't know what he's just done.I stop in my tracks and finally look him in the eyes. "Since when the fuck do I answer to you? Last time I checked, I was the fucking boss, and I'm allowed to take the day off. Justin was here-""THAT'S THE FUCKING PROBLEM! HE WAS TRYING TO DO MY JOB! I'M THE DAMN FOREMAN! NOT HIM!" he rants.Just then, because some version of hell apparently loves to watch me suffer, Portia saunters up to me, and coos. "Hunter! I missed you yesterday! I've been looking for you everywhere! No one would listen to me!" she pouted.And that was it! I fucking lost it."YOU KNOW WHAT?" I stepped out of Portia's grasp and get right in Mark's face. "YOU ARE FIRED! JUSTIN?" I shout.And just like he'd been waiting in the shadows until I called him, he jogs up to me. "Yeah?" he smirks looking between me and Mark. Then he glares at Portia. "You need something boss?""SEE?! I'M
Hunter's POVLast night I spent two hours just sitting with Chelsea. Just talking about our families. She grew up in an average household. Nothing extraordinary. Her dad, Blake Nicholson, was a financial advisor, and her mother, Trisha, was a secretary.She also told me her mom had discovered she had ovarian cancer when she was two, so she didn't have any siblings. It had been a really hard time for her family. She hadn't gone into remission until Chelsea was in school. She was so proud of her mother for fighting so hard... I wonder if that's where Cheslea gets if from?She told me she was lonely as a child and always wanted a big family because of it. Not that she blames Trisha. She loves her mom and is so happy to have her in her life. She counts every day as a blessing.We talked about her schooling and how far she's come to achieving her goal. I'm not surprised when she told me she wanted to work with Kindergarteners. She has the patience and that special energy for it."I've alwa
I watch her retreating back, wanting nothing more than to pull her back into my arms. I want to pick up where we left off before that damn text showed up. I was so ready just to take her right then up against the wall, but that damn buzzing wouldn't stop.I don't know whether I'm glad I stopped and
“Sammy, you have no idea how long I’ve wanted you... How long I’ve been obsessing over your lips. Why the hell do you think I pushed you away from me all those years ago?" He'd murmured against my skin.Is that the truth? He pushed me away because he wanted me? Does that even make any sense?I'm so
Sam's POVI can't stop thinking about Ares. His arms wrapped around me. Hips lips hungry for mine. His words claiming me as his. His scent engulfing me, making me so dizzy. His completely dominant presence anchoring me to him. His fire burning through my veins... All of him inside my mind, playing
The elevator dings at the top floor and I hurry to Ares office and almost trip over myself when I find myself facing a tall blond with sparkling blue eyes, and he happens to be smiling at me. Wow! He's hot!"Miss Samantha," he coos, reaching a hand out to me. "I'm James, I work in finance. When Ares
