Satisfied

Nathan I stretch my arms, ready to pull Giselle close, to wrap them around her waist and breathe in that intoxicating scent she carries. Maybe even get lucky enough to make love to her again.But the cold sheets tell a different story. They’re a clear sign she’s been up for a while now. My eyes fly open, and I immediately start looking for her.“Giselle?” I call out, suppressing a yawn.No answer.I get out of bed and head for the bathroom, thinking she might be in the shower. I crack open the door, hoping to catch her by surprise. But disappointment hits hard—she’s not there either.I try the closet, guessing she might be choosing what to wear… Nothing. She’s gone. A little disheartened that she left without me, I resign myself to taking a shower.When I come down to the dining room, I find only Iris. I roll my eyes at the horrifying thought of having breakfast with her, and I turn back the way I came—only to run into Kalet. He’s wearing sunglasses, probably to hide the bruises he g

Just one Friday night

A few days later“Everything’s almost ready for tomorrow’s event,” Scarlett reminds me, handing over the first bottle of the Giselle perfume we’re launching. I take it in my hands, examining it carefully before smiling.“You all did an amazing job,” I compliment the two men standing in front of me.“Glad you think so, sir. Your wife’s been asking to see how the final product turned out, but just like you asked, we told her it would take longer than expected because of the special packaging. We think she bought it.”“Don’t worry. Once the launch goes public Friday night, you won’t have to lie to her anymore. You’re dismissed.”They nod and leave me alone with my assistant.“Scarlett, please go get my wife. I need to talk to both of you.”“I’ll be back in a moment, boss.”I store Giselle’s perfume safely, and a few minutes later, my wife walks into the office, Scarlett right behind her.“You wanted to see me?”“Yes, sweetheart. There’s a business event Friday night, and we’re invited. Y

Les Murmures d´Amour

"Why didn’t you tell me they belonged to your mother?" Giselle asks the moment we climb into the SUV."Because if I had, you’d have refused to wear them," I reply quickly, stopping her hand before she can remove the bracelet. "I want them to be yours, sweetheart. And honestly, I’m sure that if my mother had met you, she would’ve gifted them to you herself. So please, wear them. Just for me, okay?" I lift her chin gently and press a soft kiss to her cheek.She hesitates for a few seconds, then nods."Okay."Silence stretches between us for a while, both of us sneaking glances at Kalet, who’s been unusually quiet lately. I slide my hand over Giselle’s bare thigh, and just as I’m about to move it higher, she smacks it away with a playful slap."What was that for, sweetheart?" I protest, rubbing my hand."I know exactly what you're thinking," she shoots back, setting her purse on her lap like a shield."I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. That dress is sinfully gorgeous on you," I whisper in

Ambush

Days later“Are you sure this is a good idea?” I ask Giselle, clearly not convinced about what we’re about to do.“No,” she admits without hesitation, “but it’s the only thing I could come up with.”“Great. If Kalet ends up hurt, you’ll owe me big time,” I warn her.“Why would I owe you?” she retorts, clicking her tongue in annoyance.“Because I’m his boss. It’s going to affect me if he’s not around.”She crosses her arms and gives me that stern look I know all too well.“I’m calling Scarlett,” I mumble, picking up my phone before she starts another argument.“Need something, boss?” comes Scarlett’s voice on the other end.“Yeah. I need you in my office. It’s kind of urgent.” I hang up before she can ask anything else.“I really hope I don’t lose two employees today,” I sigh.“Nathan! Stop being so dramatic. They need to talk, and I’m sure that once they’re alone, they’ll calm down and actually do it.”When Scarlett arrives, Giselle goes quiet, slipping into the role we agreed on. I f

Disaster

Nathan Days laterAs usual, I arrive at my floor, and oddly enough, my assistant isn’t at her desk. But when I see a massive arrangement of roses and lilies sitting there, I throw a quick glance at Kalet. He, on the other hand, looks hopeful—clearly proud of the beautiful gesture he left for her.“You know where all those flowers have ended up these past few days, right?” I ask, not trying to make him feel bad.“I know. The trash. But I’m not giving up. At least she doesn’t look at me with hatred anymore.”“You mean not as much hatred,” I correct him.“Whatever. She’s not giving me the evil eye anymore, and that’s progress. Now that she knows the whole truth, I just hope, with a little patience, she can forgive me.”“So that’s why you were paying so much attention to that lecture on ‘how to win over Giselle,’” I remark as I head into my office, grabbing the stack of documents waiting for me and checking the long list of meetings I have lined up.“She gave me some ideas I’m definitely

Opportunity

As soon as I reach the house, I rush inside and run straight into my nanny, who's standing in the hallway with her arms crossed and a stern expression, ready to scold me.“What’s going on, Nathan? Why—?”“Not now, Nana. We’ll talk later,” I cut her off, bolting up the stairs two steps at a time until I reach my room. I burst in. "Giselle?" I call out, trying to keep my voice calm despite the storm inside me. "Are you here, sweetheart?"I close the door behind me, and though a selfish part of me had pictured her lying on the bed crying, nothing could have prepared me for the sight before me—she’s standing in the closet with a suitcase at her side, packing a few clothes into a carry-on."W-what are you doing?" I ask, swallowing the knot in my throat.Without looking at me, she continues folding clothes. She walks past me, silent, heading to the vanity where she grabs a few more things and tosses them into her bag.“Where are you going?” I press, unable to handle the silence.“Isn’t it o

Dying of pleasure

“Enough, Nathan!” she asks me, pretending to hold my hands. “You won't convince me this way,” she affirms after a few seconds, moving her face in an attempt to reject my kisses, however, when my hand goes up to her breasts and lightly squeezes one of them, a subtle moan escapes her mouth, completely disproving her denial.“I know that even if you ask me to stop, you actually want me to continue.” I reply, ignoring her request and tearing her dress, causing the elegant buttons that adorned it to roll in all directions and exposing the sensual lingerie covering her body. “I'll let you go if you ask me without moaning,” I promise her before burying my face in her large breasts and delicately biting her nipples over the fine lace of her bra, something she loves me to do and cannot resist.“Y-you're playing dirty,” she accuses me, resisting my touch.“I'll play as dirty as I can, I'm even capable of locking us up for days and making love to you without rest, all so you won't leave, Darling

Culprit

It’s like watching a scene in slow motion—my friend approaches us and, without a word, opens his laptop. He begins playing a series of videos. In them, we see Iris entering the building, riding the elevator to my floor, and sneaking into one of the meeting rooms. She hides there, eavesdropping on what seems to be a private conversation between Giselle and Scarlett. That must’ve been when she found out Giselle was postponing the reveal of the new perfume formula—planning to step out for a while.Rubbing my eyes, I curse myself for ever suspecting Giselle. Shaking my head, I keep watching the footage, which clearly shows who the real traitor is.“Mr. Dubois, I’m sorry,” one of Iris’s lawyers finally says when the video ends, “but all this shows is that our client went up to your floor. There’s nothing here proving she sold that formula to a competitor. If you continue making baseless accusations, we’ll be forced to take legal action for defamation.”“They’re right, Nathan. My aunt—”“Sh

Stalker

“W-what are you doing?” she questions me as I slowly kneel at her feet, and in the process, my hand slides along her sides until it reaches her thighs.“Something that will make you lose your mind.” Say that, I force her to lean back against the dresser before lifting one of her legs and placing it on my shoulder.“W-what are you doing, Nathan?” she whimpers. “You promised me you wouldn't try to seduce me.” she accuses me with bated breath, but without moving away from me.“I know I promised, and until a moment ago. I kept my word, but my resistance has a limit, and I can't hold back anymore, darling. Seeing you this sexy, wearing my shirt, makes me desire you once more, and I know you feel the same way.” I assert, trailing kisses from her calf almost to the inside of her thigh. “You desire me as much as I desire you, besides, have you noticed? For having taken a shower, you're soaked.”“Shut up, don't say that!! I-I'm not wet.” she murmurs, embarrassed, trying to lower her leg.“Why

First Love

Giselle While we ride the elevator down, I glance discreetly at Nathan, who’s frowning at his assistant. I lower my head to hide a smile and wait patiently for us to reach the parking garage.Ever since I agreed to go to the theater with the blonde this morning, my husband has been sulking every time we run into each other, latching onto any excuse to keep me from going out with his assistant. But I’ve ignored him. And now here I am, next to a cheerful Scarlett who keeps talking about how beautiful it is to experience the ballet—especially something so iconic during the holiday season. On the other hand, there’s Nathan, brooding as usual, and Kalet, somewhere between gloomy and hopeful after the small kiss he got a couple of hours ago.As soon as the elevator doors slide open, Scarlett grabs my hand—right as Nathan is about to say goodbye. He’s left mid-sentence, lips parted like a startled duckling—except that the blue-eyed man glaring daggers at the blonde looks more like a raging
