When My Body Learned Your Name Chapter Thirty Nine
ANNAI froze, my hand hovering over the mouse, the phone still clutched loosely in my fingers. My stomach had turned somersaults the moment Carson had called. I hadn’t expected it—not today, not like this. And yet, here I was, sitting in the office, heart hammering in my chest, trying to act normal while my brain screamed every possible scenario that could go wrong.When I finally stood, my legs felt like lead. I straightened my blouse, smoothed down my hair, and reminded myself that I was a professional. I could do this. I had done it before.I had *worked* before.I took a deep breath and approached the conference room where Carson was waiting, papers strewn across the table, his back to the door as if he hadn’t noticed me arrive. My hand hesitated on the door handle.I stepped inside.“Anna.” His voice was calm, precise, professional. But it had that edge that made me flush instantly. My throat went dry.“Sir,” I said, the word sticking in my mouth like glue. I tried to stand tall,
When My Body Learned Your Name Chapter Thirty Eight
CARSONThe office smelled like stale coffee and printer toner, but I barely noticed. My attention was elsewhere, focused entirely on the spreadsheets, projections, and reports spread across my desk. Everything had been fine yesterday. Everything should have been fine. And yet, there was a gnawing sensation in the pit of my stomach that told me otherwise.That’s when I saw her.Anna.She was sitting at her desk like she belonged there—which, of course, she did—but it was the way she moved, the sharp precision with which she reviewed documents, the slight furrow of concentration on her brow. I felt it before I even consciously registered it: a tension that was hers, but somehow it radiated, drew me in.Grace’s voice cut across the room.“Anna, study this file. Not just your department’s, but Carson’s,” she said, tone clipped and reluctant. She didn’t even look at me, as if I didn’t exist, which I knew she wished she could have pulled off. But her hands shook slightly, betraying the fact

ANNAI couldn’t focus.Not on the bus, not on the elevator, not even as I fumbled through my morning emails like a zombie trying to appear human. My mind kept circling back to that kiss—the way Carson had pressed me against the wall, the heat of him, the feel of his lips tracing my neck.I shook my head hard. No. No, I could not let this invade me like this. Not here. Not at work. Not after everything.But the memory kept coming anyway. The way his teeth had grazed my skin ever so lightly. The faint pressure of his hands on my waist. The quiet murmur of my name against my skin.I pressed my palms to my face and sighed, trying to will it away. Professionalism was key. I would survive this, I told myself. I had to.When I stepped into the office, I tried to anchor myself in normalcy: hair combed, blouse buttoned, posture impeccable. I greeted Grace with a courteous nod, smiled at my coworkers, and went straight to my desk, opening my laptop and pretending that spreadsheets were more com

ANNAThe shock didn’t come gently.It slammed into me all at once, hard enough to steal the air from my lungs.Not when his mouth claimed mine.Not even when my body responded like it had been waiting for permission.It came when my mind finally caught up.My hands flattened against his chest, fingers splayed, palms warm against solid muscle. I pushed—not hard, but enough to signal intent.“Carson,” I breathed, breaking the kiss just barely. “We can’t—”The rest of the sentence never made it out.He didn’t step back. He didn’t hesitate. He simply tightened his arm around my waist and pulled me closer, closing the distance I’d tried to create like it had never existed.My breath hitched sharply.“Stop,” I said, but the word came out weak, unraveling as soon as it touched the air.His mouth found mine again instantly, swallowing the protest, turning it into something softer, slower. The kiss changed—not less intense, but deeper, more deliberate, like he was trying to make me forget why

ANNACarson didn’t slow down until the music behind us dissolved into nothing more than a distant pulse, like a heartbeat I was no longer synced to.The club lights spilled weakly onto the sidewalk, neon washing the pavement in fractured color. Somewhere nearby, someone laughed too loudly. A car drove past, bass rattling its windows. The city kept moving, oblivious to the way my pulse was still racing, my skin buzzing like I’d been struck by static.He finally stopped and turned.The suddenness of it nearly sent me crashing into him.He dropped my wrist.I pulled my hand back immediately, curling my fingers into my palm like they’d been burned.“What the hell was that?” I demanded, my voice sharp enough to surprise even me.Carson stared at me for a long moment, chest rising and falling, eyes dark and unreadable. There was a vein standing out at his temple, a tell I’d learned to recognize.“You tell me,” he said.I let out a short, incredulous laugh. “You punched someone. In the middl
When My Body Learned Your Name Chapter Thirty Four
ANNAEverything was going well.Suspiciously well.The music was loud enough to drown out my thoughts, the lights low enough that I didn’t feel watched, and my body had finally stopped holding itself like it was bracing for impact. Eva was dancing with abandon, Solange had somehow acquired shots I didn’t remember ordering, and Arian was deep in conversation with a woman who looked like she’d stepped out of a magazine.I was laughing. Actually laughing.Which was probably why I didn’t notice him at first.“Hey,” a voice said close to my ear.I turned, already smiling—then paused.He was tall, attractive in a polished way, wearing a blazer that probably cost more than my monthly grocery bill. His smile was easy, confident.“Hi,” I said cautiously.“I’ve been trying to get your attention for like five minutes,” he said. “I was starting to think you were ignoring me on purpose.”I glanced behind him, half-expecting Eva to be pulling faces or Solange to be giving me an exaggerated thumbs-u
