Crystal stretched her back as dropped the pen in her hands, she stared out of the window absentmindedly, she still had mixed feelings about her relationship with Kayden. It made her uncomfortable that he was trying to make a pass at her, and she couldn’t help but be curious about how long he had felt that way towards her.Did he keep those feelings while he was being mean to her? Or did he fall for her along the way, she felt heat rise in her cheeks as she thought about it and she shifted uncomfortably in her seat.She popped open the first two buttons on her shirt, she was getting hot, she picked up some of the overused design paper and fanned herself with it softly, just as she was doing that, she felt the cool air that came from the air conditioner and her questioning blue eyes glance up to Kayden whose eyes were fixed on the report sheet in his hands. She had been wondering why he didn’t turn on the AC today, his office and his bedroom are usually very cold because he always

Crystal glanced up in surprise when she heard two light knocks on the table, she exchanged looks with Kayden before they both turned their attention towards the door. “Come in.” He commanded in a gruff voice almost immediately the door swung open, and Deborah waltzed in, she was holding a bouquet of blood-red roses in her hands. “Deborah, what is it?” Kayden inquired when he noticed the flowers she was holding, he tilted the glasses toward his nose and peered at her from beneath the rim. “Is there an event going on?” The curiosity was evident in his voice as he spoke.“What?” Deborah asked and her gaze shifted to the flowers in her hands, and a small smile graced her lips before she turned towards Crystal, who was also watching her suspiciously. “This is for Mrs. Smith.” Kayden found himself closing his laptop, and his eyebrow arched curiously. “The flowers are from who?” He spoke and Deborah searched through the bouquet and she found a small note attached to it.“Hum… there is

Sunlight creeps into the bedroom from the slightly opened blinds in the room, warming up Crystal’s face, she stirred being disturbed by the light. She felt something heavy on her waist and she glanced up to be met by a pair of silver eyes staring intently at her.“Hic…” she gasped softly when she realized she had been sleeping against Kayden’s chest, she could hear his heart beating in slow steady rhythms, he pulled her closer with a smug satisfaction on his face, his heavy arms on her back.“Good morning,” He murmured his voice still husky with sleep, Crystal flushed red from his seductive bedroom voice, and unable to form words, she nodded at him. “Did you sleep well?”“Y-yes,” she answered with a slight tremble in her voice, it was unbelievable, who would have thought that one day she and Kayden; would be lying down in her bed, naked and tangled underneath the sheets? “How long have you been awake?”“For a while now,” He confessed and he reached to feel the soft skin of her fac

Crystal’s eyes fluttered open when she heard a pained growl that came from Jake, when her eyes opened, he was on the ground, with Sebastian’s heavy boots placed against Jake’s head.“Crystal!” She turned in the other direction, and she saw Kayden heading toward her in fast strides, he pulled her as he got down on one knee and his silver eyes narrowed when he noticed her busted lips and swollen eyes. He reached for her face and caressed her in his palms, she felt fresh tears well up in her eyes, and his frown deepened when he noticed the narrow cut on her neck, it was terrible, even though shallow.Kayden didn’t want to imagine what would have happened to her if they got there any second later, the bastard had a knife to her delicate throat, as though she was a piece of vegetable, why would someone be so evil?“I-I’m sorry,” she whispered and his frown deepened, for what reason is she apologizing? “Kayden…” She reached for him and pulled him into a hug, he noticed that she was tre

The sounds of birds chirping filled Crystal’s ears, she turned to the other side of the bed, her hands instinctively reaching for the pillows to block her ears; she turned away again, and this time it was the sunlight that was in her sight, she picked the other pillow to shield her eyes.Suddenly, she was pulled against a sturdy chest, the skin of which was smooth and enticing. She snuggled closer to him, relishing in the comfort from the heat his body radiated.It felt like she was floating on a cloud, she opened one of her eyes to observe his beautiful face, Kayden’s eyes were closed as he slept peacefully, and for a moment she wished time stopped so she could remain like this forever.It was peaceful.“I can’t sleep properly if you keep fiddling about the bed.” He murmured against her ears, smoldering her cheeks with kisses even though he was still half asleep.“I think it's morning though.” She noticed returning the small kisses to him as well, placing her head against his chest a
