DANIELLE'S P.O.V. The first rays of the morning sunlight shined through the windows. I pulled away my blankets and rubbed at my eyes, removing the sleep from them. I stretched as I planted my feet into my bathroom slippers and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth. After clearing away the bitter taste on my tongue, I stepped out of my bed room and made for the kitchen to get a glass of water. On getting to the building, my steps were haltered by the image that I saw. Adrian stood in the kitchen, naked from the head to waist, and the only item of clothing that kept him from being completely nude was the white towel which hung around his waist. Water dripped down his back, making it obvious that he had just taken a bath. His blond locks, hung limply on his scalp from the water and glistened in the light. His muscles were taut and flexed as he reached for a glass in the cabinet above him. A swell of desire pulsed through my entire body, and as much as I hated it, I deligh

DANIELLE'S P.O.V. Adrian stared at me like I had suddenly grown horns. "What are you talking about?" he asked, suspicion heavily lacing his tone. "This." I said while pulling out the brown paper bag from my purse. "I need answers to these." Adrian stood from his office chair and walked over to one of the couches. I sat on a sofa across from him and crossed my legs, ensuring that the skirt of my dress rode up my knees, exposing a sufficient amount of skin. I saw Adrian's eyes dart towards my exposed laps for a brief second and look away. He cleared his throat and adjusted his neck tie. "What do you want?" he asked. I gently poured out the contents of the bag onto the centre table. "I don't really understand any of this." I said. "What's there not to understand?" he asked. "Look, Adrian. I would not be seated here, listening to and watching you act like crap if I could make sense of it by myself." He stared at me for a few seconds, saying nothing. Then he

DANIELLE'S P.O.V. My legs hung in the air with my knees bent, my thighs were spread far apart from each other to reveal the treasure that lay in between them; a wet and soft cocoa, ripe and ready for the plucking; and my hands rested on my breasts. I looked up at Adrian, daring him, with my eyes, to take up the challenge I was throwing at him. Adrian's eyes narrowed impossibly further into slits at my action. His hand, which had been gripping his hair tightly a while ago, dropped limply to his side; possibly from the surprise that watching me had given him. "Punish me, Mr Valentino." I said invitingly, "I did a very bad thing this morning. I deserve to be severely punished." Adrian stood at the threshold of the living room, staring down at my figure on the couch. He looked hesitant, like he was suspicious that my ready submission to capital sexual punishment from him was a trap of sorts. I decided that if I was going to get any of the action I desperately needed th

\DANIELLE'S P.O.V. Fearing the unknown was so immensely common and completely normal, however, for some reason, I could never find the courage or strength to get past it, unlike every one else around me. Whether it was driving alone towards and around a location I had never been to, finding my way around unfamiliar buildings and places, or, as was the case at that particular moment, walking around a new college campus; getting lost was one of my greatest fears. It was a sunny day in August. Sweat had started to coat my brows from my seemingly endless walking, back and forth the campus, in my attempts to locate the building I was to be in at that very moment. The time on my wristwatch read 10:30am. I was late by half an hour and I feared that apart from getting lost on my first day, I would be subjected to humiliation in front of my new colleagues. I stomped my foot on the ground in frustration, and released a sigh, air escaping my partly opened lips. I had no idea what t

DANIELLE'S P.O.V. "How was your first day, business schooler?" Sofia asked later that evening. "It was okay, I guess." I replied. "Our dearest business schooler here, got lost on her first day on campus." Layla said teasingly. "Why do you guys keep calling me ' business schooler?" I asked. Layla and Sofia shrugged. Janelle's arms were busy but I was sure she would have equally shrugged alongside them. "I'm not surprised you got lost. No offense Danielle, but you have no sense of direction. You're really lucky to be born in an era with advanced technology, or else you'd probably end up getting lost and having to start your life afresh in some distant land." Sofia said. "No offense taken." "You cried, didn't you. We all know how terrified you are of getting lost." Janelle said. "I didn't cry." I denied. "Oh, yes she did." Layla teased, causing the rest of them to laugh. "I did not!" I said adamantly. "She definitely did." Janelle said, jo
