SHAWN DONNELLY~~All through the meeting, his attention was divided. Sunny’s successful quest of locating Calista’s parents was weighing on him as he feared the aftermath.Would Calista’s parents be willing to talk to him?He might take another route. Sunny might just locate Calista somehow without involving her parents which left the inevitable question remaining.When he finds Calista, how does he face her?.The Chief Operating Officer (COO) whom Shawn was aware of his ambition to outmaneuver him in the corporation’s politics and steal his place but maintain a positive and affable demeanor called him out after noticing his faltering concentration.“Mr. Donnelly, I think you are too worn out today. Why? Is the project too hard for you to handle?” The sly bastard cornered him with his stupid unwavering smile.Shawn felt like sending him a punch in the face. He could fool the others with his good outward pretense but Shawn had seen him for who he really was.He knew Shawn knew his mot

Warning; Mature Content—Not explicit.Shawn had kissed a lot of girls but only a few tasted as good as Serenity did right now. He could tell she used an herbal-flavored mouth wash which made her mouth taste like he was feeding from nature. Her tongue was in his mouth and he didn't hesitate to suck sweetness out of it.She had been stiff at first but right now, desire seemed to have Lord over her. None of them could resist the temptation. The lust was a mutual burden.Shawn could tell but he knew she would deny it. After the kiss was done, she would rather choose to act smug about it or act like it didn't happen at all. But it did. Right now, they were both in each other’s mouths—the expression.He had been slowly kissing her at first but when she parted her lips and held his cheek in return, returning to him as much as he was giving, he increased with an intensity that made her hand circle around his neck.Yes, she was losing it. He was too. When the sensation sent wild tremors around

I took a sip of my cocktail to swallow down whatever anxiety was welling inside of me. The alcohol would help tame it down too.“Why are you so intent on getting me, Shawn?” I asked him, trying to be smug.He was almost halfway down his soup. “It’s obvious. I like you.” He shrugged.“Like me as in want to have sex with me?”“Trust me, Serenity, if I like you enough to want to have sex with you, then I like you a bunch. I am very selective when it comes to my women.” The bastard was just overly confident. This soup would do well if I spilled it on his face. “Why? What's so special about me? For one, I'm boring.”He chuckled amusingly. “You are feisty and smart. That's my type of woman. Not to mention your originality. You keep it natural. From your looks to your outfits.” Originality?He’d know not to accord originality with me by the time I was done with him. “You mentioned something about your women. How many do you have?” I stirred my soup.Soft soul music had begun to softly hum

Warning; Mature Content Ahead.Shawn turned me over, safeguarding my chin with his hand. “I think I told you before, Serenity—there are other ways that I can flatter you with. Would you like to find out?” “You promised to let me find out.” I smiled at him, battling to keep my irritation at bay.Shawn’s face was grim now— the kind I hated. The type where you’d not be able to read his expressions. “And I, love, keep my promises.” He flipped a part of my hair that was on my front shoulder backward. “All you have to do is just relax.” He placed his hand on my left breast. “I can tell your heart is racing. I can find your fear in a stash away in your eyes. You, Serenity, are brave. You never show it. You always look so confident.” He halted and stared at my face.It was as though he was imprinting every detail on my face, screening and saving them in a memory disk in his head. By now, Shawn should be able to tell if it was me even if his eyes were closed by caressing my face.“You don't t

I knew I’d find it. All I needed to do was dig enough. “A foe?” I feigned concern. “How dare the COO rival with the CEO?”“This is corporation politics, Serenity. I'm sure you know it too. I wouldn't have been fucked had I not made that mistake of being caught by Sinclair, that bastard!” I could feel that his teeth were gritted now. “One could never be too careful though. It's politics and we both have been on each other’s trail. I found him out and he found me out too. We’ll see who wins in the end. At least, unlike him, I didn't embezzle the company’s funds. But I bet you, Serenity, I do not have a record of fighting a battle I never won. I am notorious for it— my status is proof too. How many twenty-four-year-old CEOs do you see around? I fought my way to the top and there, I shall remain.” He boasted.Perhaps, plucking off all of Shawn’s teeth would be a good idea right now. He even dared to boast. He just was more or less like the High School Shawn. His extraordinary qualities had
