"Mmhh..." Rosie woke early the next morning with an uncomfortable sense of heat. Her face was pressed against something warm—far too warm—and there was a distinctly musky, masculine scent surrounding her.She blinked herself awake.The first thing she realised was that her face was buried against Sebastian's broad, muscular chest.Rosie startled and instinctively tried to pull away, only to find herself trapped in the cocoon of his arms. His large hands were wrapped securely around her waist, holding her close."Hrrm..."Sebastian grunted in displeasure when he felt his beloved woman attempting to escape."V-Very funny, Sebastian. Please let me go..." Rosie murmured.He said nothing.Instead, still half asleep, Sebastian simply pulled her back against his chest.Rosie wriggled again."Sebastian, you're sweating. It's absolutely stifling.""We're both sweaty, Rosie," he muttered. "Don't you remember what we did last night?"Rosie's eyes widened."W-What? What did we do last night?"Seb

Sebastian opened the door, fresh from the shower, his hair still damp. He was shirtless, though thankfully wearing a pair of sweatpants.Rosie breathed a small sigh of relief."Y-You can have breakfast with Izzie at the dining table..." she said quietly.She instinctively lowered her head, still mortified by everything that had happened between them the night before—and again that morning.Sebastian studied her for a moment. She was still wearing the pyjamas she'd slept in, and her hair was slightly damp from perspiration. The unmistakable signs of their passionate night had left her looking thoroughly flustered."Shouldn’t you have a bath?" he teased. "Or perhaps you simply want to preserve the evidence of last night?""D-Don’t say things like that. Izzie might hear you," Rosie whispered urgently.Unfortunately, it was already too late.Izzie had noticed her Mummy and Uncle whispering together. She turned in her chair and immediately spotted Sebastian's wicked grin, while Rosie stood

Sebastian headed down to the lobby of his apartment building and immediately spotted Desiree leaning against his car, which was parked directly outside the entrance.She was absorbed in her phone, but the moment she noticed the tall figure approaching, she lifted her head. One eyebrow arched, her expression brimming with amusement."Morning, Mr Edward Sterling. Have a good night's sleep?"Sebastian's cheeks reddened almost instantly."Shut up, Desiree." He opened the driver's door. "Go round to the other side. I’m driving.""You sure about that?" Desiree asked, pushing herself away from the car. "You were absolutely hammered last night.""I wasn’t that drunk." Sebastian slid into the driver's seat. "I’ve built up a bit of a tolerance since the first incident."Desiree knew exactly what he meant.She still remembered having to practically carry him out of that bar."Oh, well, if you say so."With a shrug, she walked around the car and climbed into the passenger seat beside him.Sebasti

Once the coffee matter had been settled, Rosie relaxed slightly and got straight to the point."Now, can we discuss Charles's slander against me?"Maria nodded. She leaned forwards, folding her hands neatly on the table before beginning."First, I'd like you to tell me why you ran away from home with your daughter, Mrs Sterling. What you've done was rather rash and irrational, you know.""Rash and irrational?" Rosie repeated coldly. Her heart burned whenever she had to speak about Charles. "I think we both know that Charles is the most irrational man alive."She clenched her jaw."He cheats constantly. He even slept with another woman right in front of you, Secretary Maria. And he did it before Izzie was even born."Maria remained silent.Of course she knew.Everyone within Charles Sterling's inner circle knew that he was a serial cheater.In fact, Maria had always expected him to stray once he was married. It seemed almost hereditary.Robert Sterling had been exactly the same. He had

Desiree waited outside the meeting room, anxiety twisting in her stomach. She had no idea what had happened between her boss and Charles Sterling inside.She trusted Sebastian to handle the bastard with a cool head, but there was one thing that worried her.Charles had a talent for pushing Sebastian's buttons whenever Rosie was involved.Please don't let him lose his temper.Click.The meeting-room door opened from the inside.Charles emerged wearing a thin, almost pleasant smile.Desiree's eyes met his, and she instinctively took a step backwards.There was something unsettling about his gaze.Like staring into the eyes of a viper.One wrong movement, one careless word, and it would strike."Mr Sterling—"Desiree bowed respectfully.Charles stopped.For the first time, he looked at her properly.She was not as striking as Rosie had been in her prime, but she was certainly an attractive woman. Attractive enough to catch his attention.His former secretary, Miranda, was gone, after all
