Elara and Ezra finally pulled away; he held her head in his hand and brushed back the hair on her face. "Do you know how long I have been waiting to do that?" he asked, gently rubbing his hand across her face."Me too," she murmured, bending her head out of embarrassment. She knew she was coming there to bear out her heart to him; she did not know that she was going to be the one to kiss him first. "Don't bend your head; I want to look at your face," he said. She wanted to jump back and call him out on his cheesiness but she liked the way it made her feel. She blushed, feeling blood soak up her cheeks as butterflies filled her stomach. "Why did it take you this long to come if this is what you wanted as well?" he asked."I told you, I was afraid," she murmured. Her tone was low and it was obvious she was trying to pick a side; she was not sure if she was embarrassed by what had happened between them or if she was happy it happened. There were mixed feelings and she was still trying t

Elara got into the house after a few minutes of driving. She thought since it was late she would sneak into her room and just call it a night. Her phone vibrated with a message on the screen and she smiled, knowing who it was. Her smile deepened as she stood by the door, her bag in one hand and her phone in the other. She replied to his message before putting her phone back into the bag."Why are you smiling so much?" She looked up to the voice of her sister and both her mom and sister were standing side by side."I was not smiling," she replied, trying to wipe the smile off her face but she knew it was not working because her cheeks hurt. Since she poured out her mind at Ezra's place, she had been smiling a lot, and her heart felt light as a feather."Yeah, tell that to your curved lips and rosy cheekbones," Isla replied, taking gentle steps towards her with a smile on her face. It was not the kind of smile that showed one was happy; rather, it was a sarcastic, mocking smile. "I have

"Let us sit for breakfast," Clara said as the staff finished setting up the table. Elara and Isla sat while Clara went to get Ronan and Elliot. She was halfway up when she saw her son come down. "Good morning, Mom." "Good morning, son." She passed by him and stopped to look at him. He looked worried and she knew that asking him was going to be an effort in futility. If he was not telling them without asking, then no matter how much they pressed, he would not say a word. She wondered if things were getting tough for him to handle. She knew that asking was futile but she was still going to ask because she cared. She went to the room to get her husband. "You are running late for breakfast this morning." "You left the bed before I could see your face." Clara was an early bird and instead of laying in bed, she always wanted to be up on her feet doing something so she would leave the bed to ensure that everyone had good meals in the morning. "I have told you time and time again that I

Ronan watched her take out her phone and contemplate whether to take it or not. He would not usually call her at this time an expert; it was an emergency because it was stated in their contract. He watched her press her eyes shut and then take up the phone. She cleared her throat, using her hand in a fist to cover her mouth before she slid her hand across the phone and placed it on her ears."Good morning, Mr Quinn," she began. Her voice and the expression on her face did not match at all."Morning, Ms Richards, look up," he said. He watched her look up straight and then his head began to go from side to side slowly until she spotted the car. "Aren't you going to come?" he asked when she remained rooted to the place she stood."Why should I, sir?" It was obvious she was adding in the last part to create an illusion of space between them and her tone told him that it was not going to be an easy thing to convince her to come. "I do not begin work until an hour from now," she replied. Sh

'PULL AWAY! YOU SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS, THIS IS WRONG ON ALL LEVELS' She screamed to herself in her mind but she could not bring herself to pull away; instead, she was leaning in more to the kiss and responding as if she had been starved for such a long time. She had wanted to kiss him to know what it was like; it had been one of the thoughts that plagued her so much. now that she had it, she wondered how she was supposed to survive not doing it again. It was more than what she had imagined it to be.Ronan pulled away and sat still looking at her. "You did not pull away; you kissed back," he said with a chuckle."Is this a joke to you?" she asked, hearing the chuckle. She already felt bad for what she was doing and now she felt even worse that he laughed. She should have saved her dignity and pulled away, slapped him across the face while asking him to act like her boss. Instead, she gave in to her desires and kissed him and now he was laughing in her face."You have gotten it all w
