It was thirty minutes past closing time and Joyce hadn't reported to Martin’s office as promised. Crestfallen, he makes his way to her office to confirm if she had left when he bumps into Anderson.“Where is Joyce?” Anderson asked worriedly, knowing that Joyce would be with Avery. “She’s not here and Avery?” Martin asked in return, perceiving a pending predicament.“Not here too. She’s not answering her phone as well,” Anderson’s brows creased as he said. He thought Avery was with Joyce in Martin's office but met the opposite.“I thought Joyce had refused to come and see me but now, let’s go and check.” The two men walked hastily to the accounts office while Anderson asked,“What about Trent?” He hoped that Trent hadn’t tried anything stupid again.“He left after the embarrassment you caused him,” Martin explained. Trent took the rest of the day off and since he was working as a contractor, no one could penalize him for as long as his job wasn’t neglected.The two men arrive at the ac
Scarlet could already feel that this wasn’t going to be good but she waited nervously to hear the options. “One, you will work on those files and submit them first thing tomorrow.” Her eyes lit. Her boss would cover up for her. Mr. Nox was very understanding and kind. But Anderson’s next sentence took away every drop of hope she had left.“Not to your boss but to my desk.” She froze instantly. How could she finish that load of work by tomorrow morning? That was impossible.“Option two?” She asked hopefully.“You leave and never come back. The choice is yours,” Anderson said coldly and walked out.When he reached the main office, Martin was waiting for him beside the two ladies. “How did it go?” He asked Anderson.“You’ll see,” Anderson responded, just as Scarlet rushed over and collected the files on the desk, hurrying back to her office. “But we haven’t finished,” Avery yelled innocently behind her. She turned around and smiled. It didn’t reach her eyes but her response was polite
Anderson was amazed that they were having this discussion. This was what he was waiting for and it seemed to have come earlier than he presumed. “I just want to give you the time to sort out your emotions,” he said honestly. After all, he promised to return her untouched to Trent if she doesn’t fall in love with him within two months. Avery was happy that he hadn’t gotten over her. She expected him to make the move but he didn’t, just holding her in his arms.“But my emotions are clear. I showed you the signs,” she tried to convince him but Anderson still had his reservations.“No love, it’s not done that way. Your heart is divided and every man is possessive of their women. I can’t make love to you when you are thinking of another man,” he said forthrightly. Avery hid her head in his chest in embarrassment. He made it seem as if she was cheating on him.Suddenly, she recalled something and looked him in the eyes. “But what about before? You wanted to but I was the one creating excu
For a man as disciplined as Anderson who had starved himself of sexual pleasures all his life, he was like a ravenous wolf, leaving hickeys everywhere his lips touched.He sucked her soft delicate skin as if he wanted to eat her. Avery didn’t try to hold back her moan, wrapping her arms around him and pulling him closer. Her slender arms on his skin aroused every sensuality he had controlled all this while living with her.When his lips left her neck, they settled on her nipple while hands cupped her medium breast, massaging it slowly.His fingers glided down her thigh, gently brushing it for access and she opened it to welcome him. His fingers flickered her clits, she whimpered at the sensation while his tongue moved to seal her entrance. Ohh, Avery was a mess. The pleasure was too much and she couldn’t understand the strange fire built up in her, making her body vibrate from the splendors bubbling through it all at once.Her breath was heavy and she couldn’t hold it when her first
Anderson felt like he was seeing a whole new person. Avery was bubbling and glowing. She was wearing a white towel robe, her hair held in a messy bun, her smile was like heaven, and he wondered how she was able to wake up so early.Oh, the massage worked so she felt more relaxed and energetic. He was still in a daze when Avery brought the food on a tray toward him. “Eat up and get ready or we’ll be late to work.”Where from the bossy attitude? Well, it was sexy. Anderson glanced at the oatmeal with sweet berries on the tray and his stomach rumbled. He wanted to wake up earlier to surprise her but who knew that she was rather going to make up the surprise? “You asked Nancy to make oatmeal?”Avery chuckled. She wasn't so much of a princess in her parents' home. They had no maids so she knew how to do everything. “No, I made it myself. It’s healthy and will give you more energy,” her cheeks pinked out at the last part, as Anderson gazed at her with admiration.Seeing how surprised Anders
Trent’s eyes squinted and his heart was pierced when he caught sight of a hickey on Avery’s neck. Her hair had covered a large amount but he still caught it due to the position he stood. Her bubbly look from earlier had turned sour upon seeing him and his heart ached even more.“Avery,” Trent said painfully. Anderson wanted to pull her away but didn’t want to do anything for Trent to look pitiful in her eyes. Therefore, he restricted himself from intervening, watching them keenly. Avery felt guilty. She had let him down by doing the very things she promised him she wouldn’t do and couldn’t face him. She knew she had to tell him to move on but at the moment, she lacked the courage upon seeing so much pain in his eyes. “Trent, I’m late,” she said and began to walk away. Trent wanted to stop her but seeing Anderson there, he knew it would be useless. Avery had changed and Trent wanted to know why. Perhaps she was just afraid of Anderson or he might have forced those kisses on her like
Trent removed his hand slowly from Avery's mouth and when he got the assurance that she wasn’t going to scream, he led her to one of the empty offices. Unfortunately, Scarlet was going to ease herself after dropping the files on her table, stopped, and hid a few meters away.Seeing Avery entering an empty office with another male staff member, she got the right weapon to make the CEO know that his wife wasn’t as pure as he thought, instantly putting a call through to the front desk.Anderson was in the middle of an important meeting when the intercom rang. He excused himself and answered it. “Sir, Scarlet wants to speak with you. She said it’s very important,” the receptionist said.Anderson guessed it was related to what she was working on and said, “okay.”“Mr. Crown, I saw your wife and Mr. Baker entering one of the empty offices,” a tired but eager soft voice rang from the end of the line. She knew that from today, the CEO was going to give her special attention or even increase
Old pals knew each other better than anyone else. Did Anderson want to fight with him? Trent could think of the worst and the fact that he was no longer a match for Anderson made matters worse and he feared.“Are you going to beat me because I had a chat with Avery?” Trent stood up from his swivel chair and asked sinisterly. It would be good if Anderson got violent. Avery would know the kind of man she was married to because Trent would make sure to show her proof.Fortunately, Anderson’s intentions were far from that. He wasn’t going to do anything that would put Trent in a despicable position.“I have more important things to do than that so why waste it on whacking you? What is there to gain?” Anderson frowned and asked, not bothering to sit. His statement sent confusion to Trent’s mind.He was crestfallen. It wasn’t just Avery but Anderson had also changed. This wasn't his usual style. “So why did you lock the door?” Trent asked curiously.“That’s because issues about my marriage
