Save Him 78|Team Building-Part 2
When the time for the three-legged race rolled around, Levi was anxious as fuck, convinced Natalie had ditched him, and they'd be disqualified from the race.She'd played far away from him after Jen's opening speech, choosing instead to spend all her time with the guys from her department when she wasn't participating in any activities.Of course, he'd spent the whole morning following her around with his eyes like a lovesick puppy until Mark took it upon himself to intervene and coax him into taking part in a 5-A-Side soccer tournament.Now, as Levi looked around him anxiously, he wished he hadn't given in to Mark's enthusiasm. He was sweaty and grimy, not at all the look he was going for, especially when he had to be up close and personal with Natalie in just a few minutes and woo the shit out of her.Where was she, he wondered as he roamed his eyes over the crowd.Hard as he tried to hide his smile when he saw Natalie stalk her way across the field, he couldn't. His lips seemed to

"If you don't stop making those sounds—" Levi murmured as he pulled her even closer. "I won't be held responsible for what I'll do next.""No!" Natalie suddenly cried as she pushed away from him. "We can't.""We can't what?" Levi asked, a puzzled look in his eyes."This!" she said, waving her hands at the two of them."What's wrong with this?" he asked again, trying to reach for her, but she darted away and held herself away from him, firmly putting her walls back in place."Look, Natalie, we have to talk, and you have to tell me what's wrong.""Why would anything be wrong?" Natalie smiled even though there was a lot wrong, starting with how he broke her heart in his office and how she'd bled for him for thirty days and sent him text messages like a crazy person.She got angry all over again when she remembered how he'd ignored every one of her messages, and now he was smiling at her, like nothing ever happened, like he didn't leave her wounded and almost out of her mind with sorrow.S

As much as Levi wanted to go after Natalie and never let her go until she agreed to give him another chance, he knew he couldn't. Her hurt was still too raw and her anger too fresh. Allowing her time and space to cool off was the best thing he could do for her. For the moment, at least.But giving up on her stopped being an option when he thought he'd go out of his mind from missing her.Sighing, he watched her walk away, taking huge chunks of his heart with her, her back growing smaller until she eventually merged with the throngs of their colleagues.His phone rang, momentarily snatching his thoughts away from all his regrets.He frowned at the caller ID as his heart rate quickened, convinced the PI had terrible news to share about his twin. They weren't due for their weekly check-in till Sunday."Seth," he said as he picked up the call. "What's going on?""Where are you? Can we meet up?"Levi explained he was at Chassis' team building at Zoo Lake."Any chance you can cut it short?
Save Him 81|My World
Weary and worried out of his mind, Levi closed the front door behind him and slumped on the couch, where he spent a long time deliberating.He hated asking his folks for anything, and after his bitter fight with his father five years ago over the company succession, he swore he'd never use his family's resources. But finding a reputable security team, one he could trust with the life of the person most precious to him, would take time. And it was becoming more apparent each day that time was something he no longer had.Gritting his teeth, Levi swallowed his pride and called his mother. He'd try her first, and if she refused, he'd have to go to Leviticus and throw himself at his feet. Something he seriously dreaded and despised with a passion."Levi, is everything okay?" his mom asked as soon as she picked up on the third ring. "Is it Colleen? Do we have any news? She's gone, isn't she?""Mom, it's not Colleen." Levi spent a few minutes assuring her he was okay, and there was nothing n

Levi spent the whole weekend restless as fuck. He'd lost count of the number of times he was tempted to call Natalie but had somehow managed to resist the urge.He was a mess of note by Monday, more so since he was flying out to Ghana in the afternoon and would likely be gone for a week.He was at the office bright and early and spent a large part of his morning in back to back meetings, leaving instructions with the heads of the R&D area and the Game development team, the two departments that reported directly to him.Around lunchtime, he buzzed Angela in."Yes, Mr Van Holt?" she said as she waltzed through the door with his lunch and coffee. "You still have forty minutes before we have to head to the airport. You can have something to eat quickly."Levi wasn't hungry—not for food, at least.So he asked his assistant to bring Natalie in."I don't think that's a good idea, sir. The last few times Ms Taylor was here, you weren't too happy with her, and I saw how hurt she was.""Angela!
Save Him 83|A Little Motivation
Natalie didn't need a mirror to tell her she looked like someone who'd just been properly fucked. Or, at the very least, thoroughly kissed. After all, the latter was true, and the former could have easily happened if Levi didn't have to rush off to catch his flight.And she didn't understand how a fifteen-minute chat—in which she was meant to tell Levi to stop summoning her to his office like she was his lackey or something—had turned into a heavy makeout session with her almost begging him to ravish her there and then on his couch.Bathroom break, Smart Natalie suggested, and she was all for that plan. The last thing she wanted was to get tongues wagging again in the chat.Stopping at the ladies to fix herself up before returning to her desk sounded like an excellent idea. So she did just that after she left Levi's office and spent a few minutes in front of the mirror, fixing her hair and clothes before she splashed cold water on her face to cool down her horny self.By the time she

The following morning, Natalie couldn't get to work fast enough, and as soon as Emily came in, they raced to the staff canteen and found a quiet corner."What's going on? I haven't seen you this rattled since Levi found out you're an escort."Natalie played with the Styrofoam cup in her hands. "Aunty Viv's blocked my Dreams profile.""What? What did you do? How's that even possible? Can she do that?"Natalie had questions of her own. "I thought you said we can choose our own assignments, and she doesn't interfere? Why would she block my profile?""Nat, honestly, I've never heard of that happening before. You've clearly pissed off someone, and I'm guessing it's Andrei and the only way to fix this is to take him on as a client again.""I can't do that," Natalie said and cast a wary look around them before she carried on in a hushed tone. "I promised Levi I won't see him.""Talk to Aunty Viv," Emily suggested. "Explain to her why you can't see Andrei. Maybe she'll reconsider.""I've trie

So this was the motivation Aunty Viv was talking about, Natalie thought, her mind galloping wildly like a herd of feral horses.She closed her eyes, praying the next time she opened them again, she'd be in her bed, and this would all be a terrible nightmare that she could easily shake off with a strong cup of coffee.But when she opened them again, she was still in the middle of her living room, and Amber was outraged."My goodness, Nat! How could you? Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep this from me? Didn't you think I'd want to know?"Lightheaded, out of breath and weak-kneed, Natalie sank on the couch, convinced if she remained on her feet, they'd give out on her anyway at any moment.She took quick, shallow breaths, unable to understand how her life could go up in flames so quickly and so soon.The very thing that had kept her awake most nights was finally playing out in front of her eyes. The one thing she'd feared—her siblings finding out about her secret life—had finally h
