When Did You Get Hot Chapter 11: Too Risky to Stop
The office felt different after that.Too quiet.Too warm.Too dangerous.I sat back at my desk, pretending to organize the remaining files, but my hands weren’t steady. Every small movement reminded me of what had just happened. My heartbeat still hadn’t returned to normal, and I could feel his presence behind me even though he had already moved away.Lucien adjusted his tie in the reflection of the glass cabinet, his expression composed again, like nothing had happened.Like he always did.“How long was I asleep?” I asked, trying to sound normal.“Not long,” he replied calmly. “But long enough for me to miss you.”My breath caught.He walked back toward me, slower this time, deliberate. His gaze softened slightly, but the intensity remained. It always did.“You should go home early today,” he added.I frowned. “Why?”“You look tired.”“I’m not.”He tilted his head slightly. “You fell asleep at my desk.”“I was waiting for you.”The words slipped out without thinking.Something chang
When Did You Get Hot Chapter 10: His control
I didn’t realize when I fell asleep.The soft hum of the air conditioning, the quiet stillness of the office, and the exhaustion from everything that had happened earlier must have pulled me under without warning.The last thing I remembered was sitting at his desk.Waiting.Thinking.Overthinking.Then—Warmth.Soft.Unexpected.My eyes fluttered open slowly.Lucien.His lips had just brushed against mine.A kiss.Gentle enough to wake me, but deliberate enough to make my heart race.I blinked, still half-asleep, trying to gather my thoughts.“Lucien…?”He was standing close.Too close.His presence immediately filled the space around me.I glanced at the clock on the wall.6:03 PM.My eyes widened slightly.“I fell asleep…”“You did,” he said quietly.There was something different in his voice.Lower.Heavier.I pushed myself up from the chair, but I didn’t get far.Because I noticed him.The way he loosened his tie slowly, his eyes never leaving mine.Intent.Focused.Hungry.My br
When Did You Get Hot Chapter 9: The Woman Who Was Supposed to Be Fragile
The moment I saw her— Everything inside me froze. Maricel Alexier. She was sitting at my desk as if she belonged there, her posture elegant, her fingers resting lightly against the surface. Her presence alone shifted the atmosphere of the entire floor. Lucien’s wife. The fragile woman. The one who was supposedly too weak to even attend events without assistance. Yet here she was. Perfectly composed. Perfectly fine. Watching us. My heart started pounding. Did she see? Did she see what just happened inside the elevator? I slowly stepped away from Lucien, creating distance between us. Lucien, on the other hand, didn’t move immediately. “Maricel,” he said calmly. His voice held no surprise. No tension. As if this was just another ordinary encounter. Maricel smiled. Soft. Gentle. Convincing. “Lucien,” she replied sweetly. Her eyes then shifted toward me. And for a brief moment— Something dark flickered behind that smile. Gone as quickly as it appeared. “So thi
When Did You Get Hot Chapter 8: Morning Consequences
I woke up slowly, wrapped in a warmth that felt unfamiliar yet strangely comforting. For a moment, I didn’t open my eyes. The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, touching my skin gently as if the day itself had decided to be kind to me. Then I felt it. Strong arms wrapped around my waist. Lucien. His chest pressed against my back, his breathing calm and steady behind me as he slept. His arm rested possessively around my body as if it belonged there. Unlike any other morning, this one felt peaceful. Too peaceful. I almost forgot where I was. Then reality struck. My eyes shot open. Lucien’s house. My heart jumped into my throat as panic rushed through me. I quickly remembered everything that happened last night—the rain, the confession, the kisses… and everything that followed. I turned my head slightly, staring at Lucien’s sleeping face behind me. His expression looked softer than usual, the sharp, calculating businessman completely gone while he slept. But t
When Did You Get Hot Chapter 7: Breaking The Pace
The car rolled slowly into the long driveway of Lucien’s mansion. The large gates closed behind us with a quiet mechanical sound, sealing the outside world away. The house stood tall in the darkness, its glass windows reflecting faint lights from inside. For a moment neither of us moved. The engine was still running, but the air inside the car felt strangely heavy. Lucien finally spoke. “My wife’s name is Maricel Alexier.” I turned my head toward him. “Alexier… as in Alexier Corporation?” “Yes.” My eyebrows lifted slightly. That explained more than I expected. “She owns the company,” he continued calmly. I leaned back against the seat, processing everything he had said earlier tonight. “So the marriage… was business?” Lucien didn’t immediately answer. Then he exhaled slowly. “Partly.” I watched his profile carefully. “Partly?” I repeated. His gaze shifted toward me. “The other reason… was you.” My heart skipped. “Me?” Lucien nodded. “I was trying to find you.”
When Did You Get Hot Chapter 6: After Party
The soft hum of the engine filled the silence inside the car as Lucien drove through the quiet city streets.U was sitting beside him in the passenger seat, my hands neatly folded on my lap. The red dress I wore shimmered faintly whenever the passing streetlights slipped through the window.For several minutes, neither of us spoke.The tension inside the car felt strangely thick.I glanced at Lucien from the corner of my eye.His focus was on the road, one hand resting casually on the steering wheel, his posture relaxed yet composed. The dim light highlighted the sharp lines of his jaw and the quiet confidence in his expression.I quickly looked away.Why am I suddenly nervous? I thought.We had been alone together many times before.Yet tonight felt different.Lucien suddenly spoke.“You’re quieter than usual.”His voice was calm, but there was amusement hidden in it.I cleared my throat slightly.“I was just thinking.”“Oh?” Lucien’s lips curved faintly. “That’s dangerous.”I frowne
