Apollo “You’re attracted to her!!” Genesis’s voice echoed off the walls of my office, loud enough to make the windows rattle. I pressed my fingers to my temple and leaned forward in my chair, already regretting not kicking her out the moment Grace walked away. “You’re loud,” I muttered, rubbing my head. “You’re really attracted to that girl,” she said again, slower this time, like her brain couldn’t process the data. “You, Apollo Reed, the man who acts allergic to women.” She plopped into the seat across from me, eyes still wide. “The last time I heard anything about you being with a woman, it was from the woman herself. Remember her? That blonde who cried to her high-society friends, bragging about how lucky she was to share your bed, until you walked out without a word. Real scumbag move.” I raised my head slowly, tilting it in thought. That story sounded vaguely familiar. Ah. Right. “The clingy one,” I said flatly. “I told her my rules before we started. She ignored them
Grace “Let’s have sex, Miss Grace.” I choked on my spit. My hand flew up to my mouth as I coughed, trying to understand what I just heard. Sex? Like, actual sex? Was this some kind of test? A hallucination? I already thought my life was over five minutes ago when I ran my mouth like a damn fool, and especially when he confirmed that I was the woman from that night. I thought I’d hit rock bottom. But apparently, there was still a floor to crash through. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” I whispered under my breath. I stared up at him, wide-eyed. “I-I think you must’ve made a mistake…” One brow lifted. Oh no. It's that look again. “Is that what you really think?” he asked, causally. “Do you honestly believe I make mistakes?” I didn’t respond, because I seriously doubted he ever made mistakes. Especially not the kind where he accidentally asked someone to have sex with him. I swallowed hard. “Then… w-why?” He tilted his head slightly, speaking as if we were discussing the weathe
GraceI looked away from him.I had to.His gaze was too much. My chest tightened with everything flooding through me all at once, lust, pleasure, confusion, but above it all was one emotion I couldn’t ignore.Shame.I hated myself. Hated the way I allowed this to happen again.I had no idea why I kept walking back into these situations, why I kept letting myself get tangled up with this man. Maybe some sick part of me wanted it. Even now, with the warmth of his touch still lingering on my skin, all I wanted was to rewind time, and let him go down on me all over again.I refused to look at him. I didn’t want to see that expression, the same one from that night. The way he looked at me like I was nothing more than a woman trying to trade her body for money.That night, I didn't have a choice. I was drunk, desperate, and broken.But now? What was my excuse? Lust? What we just did, if anyone found out, it would look exactly like what he once accused me of. No, it would look even worse.
GraceThe moment the words left my mouth, something seemed to snap in him.His jaw flexed. His grip on my thigh tightened. And without a word, his finger pulled out of me completely and slammed back in.I gasped, the sound almost a cry. My back arched off the table, hips jerking in response, eyes flying open as I tried to process the shock of it.I looked at him, lips parted, breath coming fast. He was still staring at me, eyes locked on mine, but something had shifted. His expression had changed. It was like he was here with me, and yet somewhere else entirely. His gaze had darkened, like something inside him had finally snapped free, no longer holding back.I whispered, breathless, “S-sir…”It was as if that word alone lit a fuse in my belly, I felt my walls clench around his finger, pulsing, holding him in tight like my body refused to let him go.He moved over me. His body towered above mine. He gripped my thigh and lifted it higher, resting it over his shoulder. The shift opened
Grace I didn’t know what was happening anymore.My mind just stopped functioning. His touches, his caresses, his voice… god, his words. They crawled all the way down my spine.“You’re soaked, served to me like the perfect course. It’d be rude not to indulge. Now be still, and let me eat.”What—what even was that? Who says something like that?Never in my twenty-three years of life had I heard anything so brazen, so brutally honest, so arrogant, and somehow still hot enough to make my thighs shake.The desk was long, and cold. I was in the middle, spread open like some damn offering, legs parted wide, and him between them like I was his personal feast. The look in his eyes, fuck, he looked like a predator savoring the scent before the first bite. And I was the meal. Plated and prepared for him.I almost laughed, if I wasn’t burning up from the inside out. How did I go from ignoring him, hiding from him, running in the opposite direction of this man, to laying on his damn desk, heart r
Apollo I stared down at her, my face void of expression.Another nightmare.I knew myself well enough to understand the aftermath, if I didn’t redirect the chaos in my head, it would consume me. And now, this woman……this strange, chaotic woman lying beneath me, pinned against my desk, she was the perfect distraction.Her wide eyes searched mine, looking for any hint of a joke. She even gave a small, awkward smile, clinging to denial. But when she realized I wasn’t joking, her smile faded completely.“W-What?” she whispered, voice trembling. “Mr. Apollo, I…”I leaned in slightly, voice low. “I ate you like it was my last meal on earth.”She blinked, confused. Her brows lifted until I added, “What else? Ah, my finger is bigger than his dick.”Her eyes blew wide with recognition, and she gasped. I studied her face carefully, then leaned back just enough to meet her eyes fully. “You said it. At the end of your little call, I believe your words were, ‘who the hell calls their CEO their l
