A STRESSFUL MONDAY

Auteur: Rachi
last update Date de publication: 2026-04-24 19:03:20

Monday mornings always came too soon. The weekend had been a nightmare she couldn't escape no matter how hard she tried. The sleepless night, the memory of her mom lying weakly on the hospital bed, and how she had masked her pain just to keep Avery from worrying. They all weighed on her.

Every time she closed her eyes to sleep, her mother's face appeared, pale and drained of colour.

By the time she reached the office, the building simmered with the usual Monday energy, the air carrying the fai

  • ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS    NEVER SEEN ANYONE LOOK THIS HOT WHILE SLEEPING.

    Nathaniel: "Wish I could get you over here with me."Avery stared at the message for a moment, a small, helpless smile tugging at her lips.Her fingers hovered over the screen before she finally typed back, "You sound like you actually miss me."She paused, reading it over, then hit send, her smile lingering as she slipped her phone back into her bag and stepped out of the building. The cool evening air slapped her skin, and before she could know it, she was stepping out of the cab.The entire ride had felt too quick, like her mind was somewhere else.Avery stepped into her apartment, kicking the door shut behind her before dropping her bag by the couch. She didn’t bother with the lights at first, just stood there for a second, letting out a long breath of exhaustion.Then she exhaled, grabbed her phone from her bag, and padded into her room.She collapsed onto the bed, clutching her phone to her chest while her eyes traced the patterns on the ceiling.She didn’t even fight it this t

  • ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS    TROUBLE AGAIN.

    Avery’s gaze drifted toward Nathaniel’s office as she walked down the corridor, slowing her steps as she passed the closed door.She paused, her chest tightening as memories of him slipped into her mind. The way he would sit behind his desk, that teasing smile playing on his lips while he watched her.He had texted her earlier that morning, just before heading to the airport.She had stared at the message longer than she should have, reading it over and over again.Avery let out a quiet breath and tore her gaze away from the door, forcing herself to keep walking.Thinking about Nathaniel wouldn’t help, not here, not while she had work waiting.By the time she reached her desk, she dropped into her chair, her bag thumping softly against the floor. She opened her laptop, squinting at the screen while her fingers hovered over the keyboard. Work was the only thing that could distract her at this moment, and she wouldn’t let herself dwell on Nathaniel.She straightened in her chair, openi

  • ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS    DON’T MISS ME TOO MUCH.

    The rest of the day went on, but Avery couldn’t shake the tight knot in her chest. Every glance at her screen reminded her that tomorrow he would be gone, not for a day, but for a whole week.Somehow, Nathaniel had consumed her world, and she couldn’t imagine spending a moment without him.She leaned back in her chair, letting out a soft sigh, trying to push the thought aside."A week isn’t that long… I can handle a week," she told herself, though her chest tightened at the thought of mornings without his texts, afternoons without his smirk, and evenings without his voice.By the time 5 o'clock rolled around, Avery had gone through half her emails twice and still felt restless.She stood, stretching just enough to shake off the tight ache in her shoulders.Avery tugged her bag over one arm as she picked up her phone, glancing at the screen for what God knows.She slipped her phone into her bag, smoothing her palm over the desk one last time before turning toward the door. She didn’t e

  • ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS    YOU WON'T ESCAPE ME THAT EASILY.

    Avery sat at her desk, sorting through a stack of files. Monday had arrived so quickly, and she hadn’t expected her weekend with Nathaniel to feel so fleeting.He had driven her home last night, and his eyes had lingered on her like she was the most precious thing in the world throughout the whole ride.Avery could still feel the warmth of his gaze lingering in her mind, the brush of his hand against hers, and the way her heart had thrummed uncontrollably every time he’d whispered her name.Somehow, the version of Nathaniel she had seen last night had refused to leave her memory. All she could see and hear were Nathaniel’s half-lidded eyes, parted lips, and low groan.An involuntary smile ghosted across her face, and she had to press her lips together to suppress it.Her phone buzzed on the desk, and she glanced down to see his name lighting up the screen.Nathaniel: Hey, babe… can you come to the office for a minute?Her heart skipped, and a flutter of anticipation trickled up her ch

  • ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS    DON'T HOLD BACK, I CAN TAKE IT.

    Avery smiled faintly at his words, and before she could stop herself, her hand slid slowly down to his thigh."Fuck." Nathaniel groaned, his jaw tightening as her palm moved up.Avery swallowed, tracing the length of his hardened cock through the fabric of his trousers.“Avery…” he murmured, his voice dropping lower. “If you keep doing that, I’m not going to stay calm.”Somehow, it sounded less like a warning and more like a dare, and she took the bait. She increased the pace, her palm moving more deliberately now."Mmmh…" Nathaniel threw his head back, shutting his eyes.The sound sent a shiver down her spine, and that made her want to go further, to feel every reaction, every tremble beneath her palm.Her fingers found his belt, fumbling with the clasp as her heart raced. She glanced up at him, searching his eyes for a cue, even though the heat and hunger in his gaze already told her he was at the edge.With a soft breath, she finally freed him, letting her hand find him.An appreci

  • ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS    I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO STOP

    Avery stood frozen as Nathaniel stepped closer, closing the distance between them.“Uhm… I was just—” Her breath caught when his warmth brushed against her skin, the rest of the words dying in her throat.“Just what, hm?” Nathaniel murmured softly, lifting her chin so she had no choice but to meet his eyes.Avery swallowed, her pulse suddenly too loud in her ears as she tried to steady herself. She cleared her throat quietly, but the words still refused to come.Nathaniel didn’t rush her.His thumb traced her chin as if he was waiting for her to decide whether to step closer or pull away.“You make it very hard to think,” she admitted quietly, her fingers curling at her sides.A faint smile touched his lips. “I don’t think you’re trying very hard tonight.”Her eyes widened a little, and the heat in her cheeks only deepened. “Maybe I was doing fine until you followed me in here.”“Followed you?” he repeated softly, leaning just a little closer. “You looked like you were running away fr

  • ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS    I WAS STARTING TO WORRY YOU'D RUN OFF WITHOUT ME.

    Avery felt her heart lurch at Nathaniel’s words and even more at the way he said them.She let her eyes wander to the table for a moment, a small, amused smile tugging at her lips.The waiter returned, placing the plates carefully in front of them as the cutlery clicked softly against the porcelain

  • ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS    I LIKE SEEING YOU LIKE THIS

    The car came to a smooth stop in front of a modern tower with the name Aurora written boldly above the entrance. It was a rooftop restaurant perched atop the tallest building in the city.Of course, Nathaniel wouldn’t settle for something ordinary. He was a man of class, and the bare minimum simply

  • ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS    YOU'RE MINE

    By 7PM, Avery had already dressed up, standing in front of the mirror with her hands lightly resting on the edge of the dressing table. She wore a burgundy, off-shoulder midi dress that elegantly accentuated her curves. Her hair fell in gentle waves, and a delicate pendant rested at her collarbone

    He swallowed, his grin faltering for just a second before covering it with a shrug. “It’s… not easy to say. But I think you should know.”Avery leaned forward slightly, sensing the tension behind his words. “Okay… I’m listening.”Marcus opened his mouth, then paused, a conflicted expression crossin
