Lahat ng Kabanata ng Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch: Kabanata 721 - Kabanata 730

Patrick's POVMaybe my question caught my friends off guard, or maybe I was just an idiot who couldn't tell the difference between love and attraction. But I needed to know how to be sure, how I would know she was the right woman, the one I'd want to spend the rest of my life with, the one who would make my stomach flip and leave me anxious, the one who would own my eyes and my heart."I don't think I understand!" Rick looked at me as if I were speaking another language."Why the question, Patrick? What happened?" Alexander asked me."Everything happened and nothing happened." If I was confused, imagine how they felt. "I feel like I want to be with her, and when she's away, I miss her terribly. I'm completely enchanted by her, but it's totally different from what I felt for Virginia. Even sex with her is different, makes me feel different things.""Easy, Patrick! Get your thoughts together, brother!" Alexander had a little smile on his face. "I discovered Catherine was the woman of my

Lexie's POVThe elevator door opened and Melissa and Henry stepped out. She'd come with Henry but wouldn't be joining the meeting - as she'd said herself, she was just here for the gossip, just to find out how things had gone with Flavian. Melissa joined Manu and me."Mel, you've got some nerve!" Henry protested after Melissa sat down. "My assistant accompanies me to a business partner's office, but instead of attending the meeting - her actual job - no, she joins her friends to file her nails and chat.""Oh, Henry, don't even try that with me!" Melissa scolded him. "As if you didn't come here just for the gossip too. It was the first thing he asked me this morning - if I already knew how Flavian reacted when he found out about you and Patrick, Lexie!"I started laughing. Melissa had Henry completely under her thumb; it seemed like she was the boss."Ah, Mel, I won't deny it, we're all curious about this! But so, Lexie, how did it go?" Henry leaned down to ask me."Henry, get to your m

Patrick's POVAfter my clandestine encounter with my assistant on my desk, I didn't see her for the rest of the afternoon. After all, we needed to work. And I worked with a huge smile on my face.At the end of the day, I left my office and didn't see her sitting at her desk. She wasn't with Manu either."Manu, have you seen Lexie?" Manu looked at me, seeming very pleased with my curiosity."Your assistant, Pat?" Manu was teasing me."No, little Manu! My girlfriend. That beautiful woman with long black hair and two bright eyes, she also has gorgeous legs and a way about her that wins everyone over. Have you seen her?" Manu had an even bigger smile, amused by my good mood."She really does win everyone over, she's even won you over, hasn't she?" Manu laughed."She has!" I answered without thinking, and only after speaking did I realize what I'd said. "Yeah, she won me over!" Strangely, this admission was like releasing air after holding my breath for a while."Oh, there she is!" Lexie st

Patrick's POVWhen my mother decided for us that Lexie would stay, I felt strangely comfortable. I still didn't know what I was feeling. I knew I was letting myself be seduced, but I still didn't know exactly what I was experiencing. But having her stay there in my house felt so right. However, Lexie knew how I felt, and she wasn't comfortable staying before I had fallen in love with her. While I found my mother's idea comforting, the thought of Lexie leaving bothered me.Of course, feeling uncomfortable, she went to take refuge in the kitchen. I knew that little head of hers would be spinning, searching for a solution, but as far as I was concerned, the matter was already more than settled. Then I remembered the ice cream and caramel sauce that I'd asked Wanda to add to the shopping list after she'd been at my house the first time. They were her favorites - pistachio ice cream and caramel sauce - but even that didn't help her relax. So I kissed her, and she surrendered completely. She

Lexie's POVI wasn't planning to sleep at Patrick's house, but I ended up dozing off. Strangely, he was more than willing to convince me to stay there, and I didn't understand why, since he still didn't love me and also didn't usually do things just to please his mother.But Lucinda gave me no choice, and I didn't know what to do. Then Patrick appeared, all affectionate, with my favorite ice cream, saying he wanted me to stay. He knew how to handle me very well, was so irresistible that I relaxed too much and even fell asleep.But now I was wide awake and needed to go home soon. I was chatting with my mother and Lucinda when I noticed Patrick standing near the stairs looking at me. He was gazing at me in a way, as if I were the most beautiful and precious thing he'd ever seen, his eyes were shining and he had a half-smile of someone lost in contemplation. On an impulse, I blew him a kiss through the air. It was impulsive, but the smile I received in return was devastating, simply spect
