Phoenix

I felt the fresh air on my face when I stepped out of the car. It was quite cold and carried the scent of salt in it.

Elysium Ridge was located directly at the end of a lofty cliff. From the dark cliffs, the rocks plunged into the mighty sea below.

Victor got out of the car, he put a hard helmet on top of his dark hair, and in a stylish way he dressed in black coat, the boots were so thick, it looked like they can even survive the fall of an airplane from 30,000 feet. He didn't

  • Taste Me Like It's Our Last Day On Earth    The Boardroom Surprise

    Phoenix My knees were still a little shaky under the glass table. At one end of the long conference room, I was sitting, cradling the mug of tea in my hand. That tea was already cold and it felt warm because I had been holding it the whole time. After the incident on the cliff yesterday, my jacket still had a hint of that kind of wetness. Victor touching me in that area, pinning me against the wall in that room, that memory still lingered. We did the short, silent trip without saying much more. "We must first deal with what happened at Elysium Ridge and, after that, look at the quarterly budget, " Octavia's voice broke through the silence clearly. Victor sat at the far end, his dark suit crisp, his face completely blank. He didn't even look at me. "Miss Veyl's irresponsibility brought close to forty thousand in the loss of specialized surveying equipment, " Octavia continued, fixing me with her stare that was both piercing yet threateningly icy. "The moment the storm a

    VICTOR The staging cabin smelled like wet wool, hot diesel, and stale coffee. I stood near the door, wiping rain off my face with the back of my hand. Outside, the storm was tearing the trees apart, throwing sheets of water against the thin glass windows. "Is everyone inside?" Marcel called out, counting heads near the door. Looking around the tiny space, there were six guys from the contractor team, and I noticed a couple of survey men, as well as Octavia. She was sitting on the wooden bench and had been wiping her leather boots with a roll of paper. Her expression was annoyed but there is no sign of Phoenix at all. Instantly, my heart was heavy with dread and taking no time to think, I walked straight over to Octavia and grabbed the back of her chair. "Where is Phoenix?” Octavia did not look up right away. She took her time, smoothing her pants before looking at me. "She went with the second truck, Victor. I told her to get in." "No, she did not," Marcel said, w

    Phoenix I felt the fresh air on my face when I stepped out of the car. It was quite cold and carried the scent of salt in it. Elysium Ridge was located directly at the end of a lofty cliff. From the dark cliffs, the rocks plunged into the mighty sea below. Victor got out of the car, he put a hard helmet on top of his dark hair, and in a stylish way he dressed in black coat, the boots were so thick, it looked like they can even survive the fall of an airplane from 30,000 feet. He didn't belong to that landscape, and yet he somehow seemed to have it all to himself. He hadn't given me even a single glance since we had left his place about two hours ago. Octavia came out from the back seat, her face was so angry it almost looked ridiculous as she ran her hand on the surface of her light jacket, and her high heels got completely stuck in the ground that was just soft enough not to damage her shoes. "I really don't see why we got here so early, " Octavia said, and raised her han

  • Taste Me Like It's Our Last Day On Earth    The Silence Between Us

    VICTOR I was pretty much the quiet one on the way back to my apartment. I didn't let go of the steering wheel even at the red light and just sat there looking at the black road. Next to me, Phoenix sat wrapped in her big coat. She only looked at the lights beyond the window. We didn't even try to start talking with each other. Actually, we weren't even supposed to talk with each other. All that had happened in that underground room was still between us and it didn't let us breathe. My cheek is still warm from the moment when Daniel's name on my phone reminded me that life was going on. My hands felt stiff from holding the wheel so hard. Daniel's name on my phone screen, that was the only reason I did not lose my mind tonight! Upon entering the apartment, I immediately headed towards the kitchen. In fact, I was in need of something hard to get my head to calm down. "Um... would you like to have a drink?" I said, as my throat felt parched. While I was waiting for her answer

  • Taste Me Like It's Our Last Day On Earth    Trying to Focus

    Victor It was nine at night and the big office was still dark except for the light from my computer. But still something felt off.I had three financial reports open, but my eyes just kept reading the same line over and over again.It was useless as I battled with only my thoughts about Phoenix.Every time I closed my eyes, I could feel her skin. I heard her voice from earlier today, whispering against my face, telling me to let her burn.She is twenty, I told myself, rubbing my face with both hands. She is Daniel’s daughter. Just stop it.I picked up the glass of water nearby and glanced at the second screen on the corner of my desk. Before the day is over, I usually take a minute to glance over the security footageMost floors had been showing as dark blue, which would mean that no one else was here after work hours and that they had turned their lights off. But then I looked at the basement tab in sub-level four.The security camera feed was pitch black and a red light was blinki

    Phoenix When he pulled away, immediately the heat from his breath was still warm on my skin. It was real the one second his body was right there beside mine on the glass wall, caging me against the glass with his hand nearly touching my face. He doesn't know what he is really doing to me right now. Then, the next thing I know, he was rolling up his sleeves and looked exactly as before like nothing just happened between us; chill and composed. "Return to... to the suite, Miss Veyl," he said as he stumbled on his words just a little bit, but I heard it. "We have a presentation to prepare for the board on Friday," he reminded me with a soft tone but a determined one. He turned around and walked away without even turning to look at me. I stood there for a long time with my back against the cold glass. I touched my bottom lip with my finger. It was shaking. He could pretend to be the big boss all he wanted. He could act like I was just an intern and treat me as an employee, but the
