KATEAfter returning from lunch, I set up the meeting room on the twenty-eighth floor. When I finished, I went upstairs and knocked on his door."Is there a problem?" I opened the door slightly. He looked at me with noticeable annoyance. God! What was his problem?"The meeting room is ready.""Let me know when they arrive.""Yes, sir."As soon as I returned to my desk, the phone rang."Yes?""Kate, there's a woman downstairs. She insists on speaking to Mr. Ryan.""Courtney, we don't have any scheduled appointments. And we have a meeting shortly.""Yes. I understand. But she said she's a friend.""Courtney…" I was about to ask her to send the woman away, but it could be important. I didn't want to irritate him even more. "Wait a minute." I called him."Have they arrived, Collins?""No.""Then what's the problem?" He sighed heavily."There's a woman downstairs. She said she is your friend and insists on speaking to you.""You know I have a meeting shortly. I'm not receiving anyone.""Y

KATEI'm sitting on Mr. Ryan's desk, wearing only a tiny black lingerie. He's leaning against the door, wearing only pants. Then he starts moving toward me. His dark and hungry gaze is connected to mine. He stops in front of me, and his hands slide down my thighs, reaching my breasts. His warm breath hits my neck, sending shivers down my entire body, then his lips close around my skin, sucking and biting until he reaches my chin and then my lips.I feel like he wants to devour me as he kisses me fervently. His skillful hands open my bra at my back, ripping it abruptly off my body. He reaches my breasts, squeezing them firmly, making me moan in his mouth, and making my desire grow stronger and stronger. His lips and tongue descend, sucking my nipples. Oh my God. I arch my back, placing my hands on the table.I feel his hand slide under the fabric of my panties, finding my clitoris and pressing it slowly. I could easily climax like this. One of his fingers slides lower, circling my entr

KATEI woke up to the landing announcement. Nathan stared at me with a calmer expression. What an unstable man!"Did you rest enough, Collins?""Yes.""Good."What was he thinking?After landing, we disembarked. I found John in the arrival area while Ryan spoke to his men. I approached him."I thought I'd have the pleasure of enjoying your company throughout the entire trip," he said."Work matters.""It's a shame I can't see you during our stay in the city.""Yes…" I felt a hand on my back. Nathan stopped by my side."Ryan?" John looked confused before extending his hand to Nathan. Did they know each other?"Kent." Nathan greeted him with a serious expression."How are business matters going?" John's smile disappeared completely."Fine." Nathan didn't seem happy either. "Miss Collins, shall we?"Didn't he notice I was talking?"So, you work with Ryan?" John turned his attention to me. "Now I understand." He winked, and I almost laughed."She's my assistant, Kent." Since when was he s

KATEI got up and went to the bathroom, facing my reflection in the large mirror. What was I doing? God! I closed my eyes, mentally reproving myself for what I had just done. When I opened them again, his blue eyes were staring at me through the mirror. He came up to me, wrapping his arms around my waist."Any problem?" he asked."It's just that... we shouldn't be doing this," I replied."Why?" he questioned."Because I work for you.""Enough." He let go of me.I turned to face him, covering my breasts with my arms."Do you think I usually sleep with my staff? I've never done that, Kate. I have a policy of not having that kind of relationship with my personnel.""Then what are we doing now?""I... couldn't help it."It genuinely seemed to torment him, judging by his expression."What do you think they'll think if they find out I slept with you? With my boss?""No one will know about this."Hearing that felt like a punch in the stomach. No one will know because you're his dirty little

NATHANI rang the doorbell, and my cousin Elena answered the door. She must have been in her mid-twenties by now. It had been a few years since I'd seen her, but she hadn't changed much, with her dark hair and honey-colored eyes. She had always been very discreet, just like Aunt Louise. Elena was the younger of two children. Derick, my other cousin, was older than me."Nathan!" She hugged me. "God! How long has it been since we last saw each other?" she said with a big smile on her lips."Quite a while, I guess.""Come in! My mom will be so happy to know you're here." I entered, following her. "Are Aunt Loren and Uncle Robert back in New York?""No, they're still sorting some things out in Paris.""I heard Mom saying they were about to come back to New York.""Yes, I think they'll be back in the next few weeks.""Ah, great. Please have a seat. I'll let them know you're here." I nodded and stood while she walked down the hallway.The house was a bit different from the last time I was t
