Mag-log inHe said it against my skin while he was still buried inside me.I froze. My hips stopped moving. My fingers were still locked on his shoulders and I just stared down at him like the words had punched the air out of my chest.“What?”Adam didn’t look up. He pressed his face harder into the curve of my neck and kept rocking into me, slower now, deeper, like he hadn’t just said the most insane thing I had ever heard. I dug my nails into his shoulders hard enough to leave marks. He hissed but didn’t stop. His hands gripped my hips and guided me back into the rhythm until I was moving with him again, still reeling.“Adam.”He only groaned and bit down lightly on my shoulder. I could feel every inch of him and it was almost too much on top of the words still ringing in my head. My thighs started shaking. He felt it. His hand slid between us and found my clit, rubbing in tight circles while he thrust up into me.“Come,” he said, voice rough against my neck, “now, give it to me.”The order
He pulled away from me after a while. I sat on the bed watching Adam stand there like he was still deciding what to do with me. My wet clothes were stuck to my skin and the ice pack on my ankle was leaking cold water down my leg but I didn’t move it. He ran his hand through his hair again and his jaw stayed tight the whole time. I raked my fingers through my own tangled hair and pushed it off my face.He walked over slowly. When he got to the bed he crouched down in front of me and lifted the ice pack off my ankle. His fingers brushed the swollen skin and I sucked in a breath but it wasn’t from pain this time.He pressed around it once then looked up at me.“You could’ve died out there,” he said. His voice was low and flat. “I had the whole team running through the rain because you decided to wander off with a map you couldn’t even read right.”I twisted the blanket in my hands. “I already said I was sorry.”He stood up and stepped between my knees. His hands landed on my thighs,
Branches snapped above me, footsteps pounded against the wet ground, getting closer until Adam appeared at the edge of the ditch.He looked completely different. His hair was soaked and pushed back from his face. Mud covered the bottom of his trousers, and his shirt clung to his chest. His eyes swept over me so quickly that I could barely follow them.“Are you hurt?”“My ankle.”He crouched immediately.“Did you hit your head? your back? Did you lose consciousness?“No, Adam.”His jaw flexed as he looked around the ditch, searching for a safe way down.“Stay still.”“I wasn’t exactly planning to go anywhere.”His eyes snapped back to mine and I shut my mouth.He lowered himself carefully, using a thick root to control his weight. The second his shoes touched the bottom, he was in front of me.His hands moved over my shoulders and arms before he cupped my face. He stared into my eyes for another second before pulling me against him.My breath caught.His arms locked around my body so t
I tried to climb out again and made it halfway before my foot slipped against the wet ground.My hands scraped down the side of the ditch as I fell back, landing hard on my hip. Pain shot through my ankle so sharply that I had to bite down on my sleeve to stop myself from screaming.“Oh my God.”I leaned back against the dirt wall and pulled my injured leg closer, staring at my ankle through the rain. It had swollen so much that the top of my trainer was starting to press against my skin.I reached for the loose branch beside me and pushed myself up again.The second my foot touched the ground, my leg gave out.“No, no, no.”I dropped the branch and pressed both hands over my face. My fingers were shaking so badly that I could barely feel them anymore.Rain fell through the trees and soaked straight through my clothes. My hair stuck to my cheeks, water running down the back of my neck as I wrapped my arms around myself.“Help!”My voice came out rough.I tilted my head back and shoute
Adam povI barely heard a word they were saying.Someone from Legal was explaining next quarter’s projections while another executive pointed at something on the laminated trail map. They kept looking at me, waiting for answers.I nodded once, ”makes sense.”It probably didn’t.My attention drifted again.Across the clearing, Eve stood beside one of the checkpoint tables with her tongue caught between her teeth. She was frowning at a tiny safety pin attached to one of the activity cards, twisting it back and forth. Her fingers slipped and she frowned harder and then she looked around to make sure nobody had seen.I looked away before she caught me watching but a smile tugged at the corner of my mouth anyway.Cute.“You think we should split Finance into two groups?”“Hm?”“The teams.”I looked back at the man speaking, “do whatever.”He blinked. “…Right.”Another executive laughed awkwardly before carrying on with the discussion.I rubbed the back of my neck and looked over again. Eve
I slipped the room card into the reader and pushed the door open.The suite was bigger than I’d expected. "Oh my God."I wheeled my suitcase inside, slowly turning in a circle.Floor to ceiling windows stretched across one wall, looking straight over miles of forest. The afternoon sun bounced off the trees, making everything look ridiculously green. A huge bed sat in the middle of the room. There was a sitting area beside the windows and a balcony outside.I dropped my suitcase beside the bed and rubbed both hands over my face."This is insane."The door clicked behind me.I turned around and Adam stood there, one hand still on the handle.He looked at me for a second before setting his own bag down. He reached into his pocket and tossed another key card onto the table.I picked it up and of course it was the same as mine.I looked back at him, "you booked us the same room?"He glanced at me face blank as always. "Why would I book anything different? Like last time.""We're at a work
“Excuse you?” I said, eyes wide, phone pressed to my ear like I didn’t just hear what I thought I heard. Alan’s voice didn’t even flinch. “You heard me.” “Why the fuck would I do that?” I snapped, sitting up straight on my bed, heart racing. “You said you wanted your life back,” he said, vo
I headed downstairs, arms folded tight across my chest. My mouth was dry, my heart still thumping from what I saw. Or thought I saw. Frank’s disaster from earlier was thankfully gone from the living room. Couch was empty. Lights were dimmed. I let out a slow breath, half-expecting to find Alan
My first instinct was to push him off but he grabbed my wrist before I could slip away, dragging me down so fast I landed on top of him, my tits pressed against his chest. “What the fuck is wrong with you?!” I snapped, struggling to pull back. He stared at me like I just committed a crime. Hi
Hazel pov My first thought was to run the fuck away but I knew this man, he'd go after me, peel my damned mask off even if it was against the contract and my life as I knew it would be over. My body froze, but I forced my shoulders straight. The mask hid half my face. He couldn’t know unles
