"A deal is a deal, Nat, our one week ends tomorrow noon," Mercedes trembled and said, as Nathan glared at her with desire, she could feel her walls wet, her panties greased with feminine moisture. Her eyes couldn't meet with Nathan's, her body melting to his touch around her waist, as he closed the gap between them. Irrespective of her response, Nathan didn't intend to make it easy on her. "You still didn't answer my question. Is that what you want," his voice was carried a sensual tone, as his closeness increased the heat around her. His hands cupped her breast, as he massaged it gently moving to her stomach till it found its resting place, patting her thighs gently. His fingers rubbed her clitoris over the thin bikini she wore. Mercedes moaned loudly, spreading her legs wider and arching her waist. Her body had a language it obeyed, which was Nathan's touch. His hands smoothed her skin through the transparent shirt she wore. "Tell me Merce, what do you want?" His voice car

Mercedes got to her office earlier than usual. Thankfully, her penthouse was just thirty minutes drive from her office. In all aspects, it was better than where she lived before. She still missed Griffin but hadn't given him a call since she arrived. She felt it was better that way. Nathan's choice of clothes in her penthouse had given her a new look, earning stares from employees, when she made her way to her office. It was a Monday, which meant managers meeting and she had to be there with Nathan. Once in six months, a board meeting will be held.When she got to her office, she realized that everything was just as it was. Her heart panged when she thought about seeing Nathan again. Was it going to be like before they chose to bury thr memory of their one-night stand? She saw his car at the underground car pack and knew he had gotten to the office before her. With her gift box in hand, a deep breath inhaled, she strolled to his office. It whiffed of

Mercedes jumped out of bed, unlocking the door. As soon as she opened it, she collided with Griffin with a force so strong, they almost fell. She still missed him even though he hurt her feelings but she would take Nathan's advice, and not poke her nose into his relationship matters anymore.  The hug lasted for over a minute before Griffin whispered, "She left me Merce, I should have believed you. Can you forgive me?" It wasn't what Mercedes expected to hear and she was saddened. Why wasn't she happy? She always wanted Griffin to herself and now, without Penelope, who she also wanted out of the picture, it was a perfect opportunity but she didn't see it that way. Her best friend was hurting so she was hurting too. "I forgave you a long time ago," she comforted him while pulling him to her bedroom. "Nice place," Griffin remarked. Mercedes thought to not say a word since it's Nathan's gift and Griffin didn't like him. As silence descended for a while, Grif

His eyes bored into hers pleadingly, as he held her close in his arms. He wanted her and she wanted him but if another woman had the ring, and she had his heart, what happens in the future? Why couldn't he take back his ring and end things with Jane? The more Mercedes thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Seeing she hadn't given him a response, Nathan asked again. "You ain't gonna leave me are you?" He was nervous. Nathan Legend was nervous and scared of rejection. Well, every man had a breaking point.  Mercedes was going to let him off so easily. She wasn't ready to be a Thanksgiving turkey. "That depends. I can't be with you in secret while another woman carries herself as your fiance. You have to choose." Nathan's grip tightened around her waist. "No, I only have one woman and that is you but I can't leave Jane because.." Mercedes felt too weak to hold it in. Why was it so easy when Griffin introduced Penelope but with Nathan, she was be

Well, Nathan wasn't surprised. His father had access to his office but Nathan hated intrusion. His father might have connections somewhat dishonest but Nathan could still bring them down if he wanted. There was just one thing stopping him from fighting back. Respect.  "Dad, I demand you request my permission before showing up in my office," Nathan tried to be polite while Mercedes looked for ways to escape the awkward atmosphere. Jane was roasting with Mercedes' presence and if she had her way, she would cover her with fuel and strike a matches to set her ablaze.  Mercedes realized that Nathan only had his fathers' hair therefore, his other handsome features might have come from his mum. His dad was also good looking but Nathan stood out. Nathan's father's hot gaze burned her even as he addressed Nathan. "I would have if you had answered your phone." For as long as he was concerned, Mercedes was the one turning his son against him and he hated her f
