Valerie hung up the call immediately, her heart pounding with fury and shock. Rick had come to her home and was preparing to leave without a word. It's not like it was mandatory that he sees the owner of the car he was working on, but still...

She grabbed her keys and headed for the elevator, she didn't even stop to consider that she wasn't wearing any shoes. Rick wasn't leaving until she understands why he affects her this way.

Within seconds, the elevator doors opened into the private garage, revealing Valerie, with fists clenched at her sides, her face set in a hardened expression. She stepped out marching barefooted, her body exuding fury and rage.

Her dress flowed around her ankle, and she knew how she must look right now - the Duchess of New York, barefoot and chasing after a man.

She strode towards the group of security men surrounding Rick's truck near the exit.

Rick was inside the truck, one hand on the steering wheel, the other gesturing angrily at the security guards who

    Valerie stared at him, completely dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that question at all - not after the perfect morning they'd shared, not after the way he'd held her through the night.The question hung in the air, and she didn't think she was ready to provide an answer.Rick was waiting patiently, studying her face with an unnerving intensity that always made her feel like he could see straight through her soul.But instead of replying, she reached for another pancake, forcing a smile she didn't feel."I don't have to answer that question," she said lightly. Because she couldn't. She couldn't very well confess to the fact that she enjoyed the way he touched her more than anyone ever had. That she'd never felt that way with other men - like her skin was on fire, like every nerve ending was alive and singing. That his hands were electric, that his mouth could make her forget her own name.She couldn't tell him that from the very first day they'd crossed paths, he had ruined her for an

    Immediately Valerie drew Rick in for a kiss, he grabbed her, lifting her up the floor and started walking towards the bedroom.She held on to him, her hands coming round to encircle his neck, her legs hooked around his waist tightly.He carried her blindly to his bed, kissing her ferociously and she kissed him right back.Immediately her back hit his bed, she went to work with removing his pants. Rick quickly pulled off the his pants and flung it across the room. Then he busied himself with removing her outfit.When they were completely naked, he slid his dick inside her immediately. The feeling emitted a deep groan from his throat, while Valerie moaned aloud, her back coming off the bed.He went deeper, burying himself deep inside her, then he remained there, not moving, or saying a word. Valerie stared up at him, too lost for word. Even now, she still couldn't tell what was going through his mind anytime he looked at her that way. He was very complicated - she'll give him that - do

    The Jessica lady was smoothing down her hair, adjusting her clothes in a way that left no doubt about what she'd been doing inside.Valerie felt something cold and vicious unleash in her chest. Jealousy. Pure, burning jealousy that took her completely by surprise with its intensity.She watched Jessica get into a small red car and drive away, her taillights disappearing into the night. Only then did she allow herself to breathe.Her hands were shaking as she got out of her car and walked up the stairs towards Rick's front door. She didn't knock - she pounded, her fist releasing some of the fury building inside her.Rick opened the door, wearing nothing but jeans, his hair disheveled, his lips slightly swollen. The sight of him - obviously fresh from Jessica's bed - made Valerie's vision blur with rage."Valerie?" He looked genuinely surprised to see her. "What are you doing here?""What am I doing here?" she repeated, her voice dangerously quiet. "What do you think I'm doing here?"Ri

    Three days later, Valerie sat in the office of her private physician, Dr. Liliana, feeling oddly nervous despite knowing exactly what the results would show."Everything looks perfect, as expected," Dr. Liliana said, sliding the sealed envelope across the desk. "Your test results are completely clean. No concerns whatsoever."Valerie nodded, picking up the envelope with hands that trembled slightly. She'd known this would be the outcome - her conquests always submitted their medical records to Melissa before anything happened. But having the official documentation in her hands made everything feel more real."Thank you, Dr. Liliana," she said, shoving the envelope into her bag."Of course. And Valerie?" The older woman called "If you ever need to talk about anything - relationships, intimacy, whatever - I'm here. Sometimes physical health and emotional health are more connected than we realize."Valerie forced a smile. "I'm fine. Really."But as she left the medical building, her mind

    Valerie opened her mouth, but no words came out. She was drowning in his eyes, lost in the intensity of his gaze, and for a moment she forgot what she wanted to say. The air between them crackled with tension, and she felt her mouth going dry with lack of words. Rick had to clear his throat before she caught herself, blinking rapidly as reality crashed back in."How... how are you doing?" she asked weakly, immediately cringing at how pathetic she sounded."I'm fine," he replied curtly, his voice giving nothing away.She nodded, fidgeting with her hands. "And work? How's work going?"Rick's jaw tightened, and something dangerous flashed in his green eyes. "Is that why you came here, Valerie? To make small talk about my job?"His voice was sharp enough to cut glass, and she flinched. He wasn't going to make this easier for her, she realized. Not even a little bit."No," she said quickly, taking a shaky breath. "I came to apologize. About that morning, I mean. I shouldn't have spoken to

    *One Week Later*Valerie sat stiffly behind her desk, her fingers drumming against it's surface as Melissa read out the day's itinerary. Her day was packed with streams of meetings, conference calls, and business decisions - events that should've kept her so focused and preoccupied.Yet, every spare moment between appointments was filled with memories of Rick and the way he had looked at her that final morning."Your 2 PM with the Benjamin Group has been moved to 3:30," Melissa continued, her voice a distant hum in Valerie's ears. "And the staff meeting is scheduled for...""Fine, whatever," Valerie cut her off, waving a dismissive hand. "Just... handle it."Melissa paused, her eyebrows raising slightly in concern."Ma'am, are you feeling alright? You seem stressed...""I'm fine," Valerie snapped, then immediately softened her tone. "I'm sorry, Melissa. I'm just tired. That's all."But she wasn't tired. She was tormented. Every night for the past week, she'd lain awake replaying that
