Matthias’s POV

It was around 8pm at night that particular day and I was alone in the lab because I still had a lot of work to complete before I could call it a day from my own end. After two long hours of work and work, I was finally done with what I had to do for the day. I stood up from the chair I was sitting on and packed my things ready to leave the lab and spend the rest of the night in my room and on my bed.

“Hmmmm”, I moaned dramatically at the thought of that. On my way out of the la

  • Stranded: My Step Uncle’s Secret Obsession   Chapter seven

    Matthias’s POV Banggg! Bangggg!The cup made a loud noise as it hit the marbled floor and the warm coffee wasted away. The loud sound of the coffee still didn’t make me jerk back to my senses— instead, my gaze was fixed tightly on the doorway. The shift in the room was immediate and undeniable like something in the room had just shifted. Ivy was standing in the doorway like she knew what she was doing at the moment. Of course she did. She was putting on extremely short skirts and a crop top that exposed her navel. She let her hair down and the long hair that is still slightly damp fell freely on her waist. The top and the skirt she wore clung to her body just enough to reveal her perfect and beautiful shape. She finally moved away from the doorway and I jerked back. My gaze shifted from her in embarrassment and I realized I have been staring for two long minutes. It was now everyone’s turn in the lab to stare at me. “Sorry”, I muttered as I moved away from my spot to get the floor

I stood up from the chair I was sitting on and packed my things ready to leave the lab and spend the rest of the night in my room and on my bed. “Hmmmm”, I moaned dramatically at the thought of that. On my way out of the lab, I sighted the door to the storage room where Ivy had worked earlier and as much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t resist the urge to go in and check what she had done. I opened the door to the storage room slowly and it was empty. “Thanks goodness”, I muttered as I entered the room fully. The logbooks and the label containers were placed neatly on the shelves and table when I entered. “She must have done that. Impressive”, I muttered that I could hardly hear myself. I checked the dates on

    Ivy’s POV Even after Matthias left the room, I didn’t leave my spot for about two minutes, still replaying the scene in my head over and over again. The way he stopped on his tracks and the way his eyes hovered over my body for five long minutes. He might not approve of it, but I know that scene made him feel something deep. I moved to the closet in the room— I had already arranged my clothes there the day before— and I picked a simple denim skirt and shorts for the day. I walked out of the room after getting dressed and found my way to the lab immediately. The lab went quiet the moment I walked in. It wasn’t really obvious and dramatic, just a subtle shift. The conversations going on didn’t stop but they dipped, like someone lowered the volume on the room the moment I walked through the door. Sofia glanced up from her station with a neutral and sharp expression and Caleb gave me a quick and amusing smile like whatever was about to happen in the lab this morning was about to be en

    Seven o'clock in the morning, and the main lab already had three people in it, the coffee was made, and every single member of my team who was supposed to be present was present.Every single one except Ivy Laurent.I checked my watch, looked at the empty doorway, and checked it again. I had been explicit yesterday evening. Seven o'clock. Those were the words I had used. Not seven-thirty, not whenever she felt like it—seven. I had even had Caleb relay the message a second time because I had not trusted her to retain information she found inconvenient.I set my coffee down."Has anyone seen her this morning?" I asked the room.Sofia looked up from her workstation with the careful expression of someone who had already correctly assessed the situation and wanted no part of what was about to happen. "I haven't seen her come down."Of course she hadn't come down. She was twenty years old and had spent the last two years treating the entire world as a stage arranged for her personal enterta

    Nobody had warned me about the silence.I pressed my face closer to the car window as the vehicle wound deeper into the island's interior, watching the landscape roll past in shades of green so vivid they looked almost artificial—dense jungle pressing against both sides of the narrow road, interrupted occasionally by flashes of blue ocean between the trees. It was beautiful in the way that places completely indifferent to human presence tend to be beautiful. Untouched. Unbothered. Utterly, oppressively quiet.I had expected remote. I had not expected this specific brand of stillness that made the inside of my own head feel loud.I leaned back against the seat and crossed my arms. This was fine. Six months in paradise with the man I intended to completely dismantle. There were worse assignments.The car pulled up in front of a structure that was less what I'd imagined as a research facility and more a sprawling, low-built complex of connected buildings that managed to look both functio

    The first thing I registered was warmth.The second was the soft press of lips against my jaw, my neck, the corner of my mouth—slow and deliberate, the kind of waking up that was designed to make a man forget he had anywhere to be.I opened my eyes.Morning light was cutting through the bedroom window at an angle that made me squint, and Violet was propped up on one elbow beside me, grinning with the particular satisfaction of a woman who knew exactly what she looked like and was entirely comfortable with the knowledge. The sheet had pooled at her waist. She made no move to adjust it."Good morning," she said."Morning." I pushed myself upright and dragged a hand through my hair, taking a moment to orient myself—the familiar ceiling of my penthouse, the city noise twenty floors below, the dull ache in my shoulders from the late hours I'd spent hunched over project files before she'd arrived last night.Violet had been in my life for six months, which was longer than any other woman in
