“You guys can continue to settle in appropriately. We will have a brief meeting at 03pm, so until then, study up on the project and make your own considerations, write down any ideas you have — I want to hear from each of you.” I say, receiving only a few quiet confirmations and nods.Going to my desk, I take a deep breath, wanting to disappear behind the partition. But my new workstation forces me to face all the team members.Taking a deep breath, I try to ignore the hostile stares that I know are on me, burning my skin. Especially Laura’s.I glance at Sarah, the woman with medium-brown hair, so elegant, that seems to be a natural part of the corporate world. Behind the lenses of her glasses are sharp brown eyes, so severe that they appear to judge every inch of me. Sarah has been with the company for at least four years, and her commitment is simply enviable. There are even rumors that she will be promoted, and there's no doubt that she belongs in the management position. It's as i

Indeed, I wish this was some kind of nightmare… I even pinch myself to make sure I'm not asleep and, to my complete dismay, it's nothing but reality.That damn bouquet of white roses is so big that there are easily hundreds of flowers squeezed into the arrangement, practically overflowing; there are even some petals loose at the table.Julian stops, noticing my reaction… and his eyes follow the same path as mine, finding the bouquet that draws his attention too. Honestly, I feel my heart stopping right now. I can't believe that, once again, Eric has sent flowers to my office…When he sent it that first time, I simply ignored his messages. I saw no reason to answer, especially since I made it clear that there's absolutely nothing between us anymore.And if that's not reason enough, Laura is pregnant with his child! This should be more than enough for him to stop this pathetic and empty expression of affection. Because if he really had loved me, he wouldn't have done what he did. I kno

I consider myself a controlled person… someone who doesn't get carried away by emotions… But all this is shattered when it comes to Angelee.And now… right now… I'm about to destroy this kid's face.“What?” I hear Eric’s voice sound sharper, and I move my gaze that had been following Angelee's back over my shoulder to look at him, right into his eyes.I straighten my posture, putting one of my hands in my pockets because otherwise I really will go to jail for assault. Gritting my teeth, I try to control this intense desire to give in to the beast in me, blinded by feelings that even I cannot understand.Honestly, from the day I first laid eyes on him… I didn't like him. His eyes sparkled when saw her, and always had a stupid smile on his face, trying to win her over little by little. Yes, he seemed like a nice guy, but I just couldn't like him, and I never understood why…When Angel suddenly agreed to date him, I avoided them at all costs… I simply knew that something was wrong, but p

Lying in Julian's bed, in the silence of the night, with him beside me, is… arousing. My heart is beating so fast, and the thought that he might hear it's making me even more shy. Still, I'm with my back to him, listening to the sound of my breathing and his, heavy and rhythmic. “Julian?” I call him softly, without moving a muscle.“Hum?” He mumbles, and I seal my lips tightly, feeling my heart beat even faster.I turn to him and, when I open my eyes, I see that his are open too, in a darker shade than normal, so deep and intense that it certainly baffles me.“Can't sleep?” He asks hoarsely, keeping his gaze on my face, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was completely red. Fortunately, it's too dark for him to notice the effect he has on me.“No.” My voice comes out weak and faltering. I struggle to look away from his lips, away from his face. I'll surely die if this continues.“Come here.” He puts his hand on my hip and pulls me tight, bringing our bodies together so easily that I

“Staying inside you feels so good…” I hear him murmur, running the tip of his cock over my entrance, and I notice that there's a little blood amidst my arousal. “You're so hot, so tight…”I bite my lips, looking straight into his eyes.“Hah, I can't resist this naughty face…” He grunts, closing his eyes and leaning over me, “It's dangerous… Let me get a condom.”Suddenly, I feel a painful twinge in my chest as I watch him open the nightstand drawer and take a condom from inside. I know that Julian is… a single man who should naturally have condoms in his home. Especially when it comes to Julian — someone who is used to having flings. And isn't that exactly why I wanted to lose my virginity with him? Because he never gave his heart to anyone? Because it would be easier?I crunch my lips together, feeling my heart being seized by an intense cold that brings shivers to my body… “I'm sorry, I…” My voice falters, and I'm too embarrassed to look at him.I've messed everything up.“Hey… Ang
