Lunch hour came, and Izzy was just shutting down her computer when the front desk buzzed.“Miss Hart, there’s someone here to see you.”She frowned slightly. “Who?”Before the receptionist could answer, a familiar voice cut in behind her.“Hello, Iz..”She turned…and froze.Adrian.He stood there like he owned the place, tall, relaxed, dressed too well for a casual lunch stop. A crooked smile curved his lips when he saw her, eyes lighting up like he’d found exactly what he was looking for.“Adrian?” she said, surprised. “What are you doing here?”“Picking you up for lunch,” he said easily. “Thought I’d surprise you.”Before she could react, he stepped closer, pulled her into a warm hug, and kissed her lightly on the cheek.“Oh, my God! Isn’t that Adrian Cross?” one of her colleagues squealed from across the room.“Is she dating Adrian Cross?!” another whispered loudly.Izzy stiffened for half a second… then relaxed.She didn’t pull away.From the glass walls of the corner office, Domi

Four days later . . Thursday.Izzy stood outside the meeting room with her tablet pressed to her chest. Her palms were slightly sweaty, but her face was calm. Professional. Her feelings didn’t matter here. This was work. And she wasn’t about to mess this up.Inside, the executives were already seated. Dominic stood at the head of the table, sleeves rolled up, eyes serious. He didn’t look at her when she walked in.“Alright,” Dominic said, voice firm. “We’re here to hear individual pitches for the new franchise. Our first luxury perfume line.”One by one, groups presented. Clean ideas. Amazing ideas. Names that sounded expensive but forgettable.Then it was Izzy’s turn.She stood up, walked to the screen, and took a breath.“My concept is called NOIRÉ,” she began.A few heads lifted.“It’s a unisex luxury perfume,” she continued steadily. “Dark, warm, addictive. Inspired by late nights, skin-to-skin closeness, and confidence. The kind of scent that lingers after someone leaves the room

The weekend passed quietly.Izzy hadn’t heard from Maya at all, and that made her feel a little sad. She missed her friend’s teasing, her presence, and the way she could always make her laugh. At the same time, a flutter of excitement kept her heart warm.. she and Dominic were officially together now. That thought alone made her smile, despite the empty feeling left by Maya’s silence.Sunday evening, Izzy sat on her bed, getting ready for the new workweek. She carefully picked her outfit, smoothing down her skirt and brushing her hair until it felt just right. She caught her reflection in the mirror and couldn’t help but smile softly at herself.Her chest tightened a little with nervous excitement. Work was just work, but now, knowing Dominic was her boyfriend, even the thought of seeing him made her stomach flutter.She packed her bag, double-checking her planner and phone, making sure everything was ready. There was a quiet energy in her apartment… her own anticipation mixing with t

He kissed her.deep and hungry, like he’d run out of patience and restraint all at once. His mouth claimed hers, lips moving with urgency, devouring every breath, every soft sound she made. It wasn’t gentle, it was needed. Weeks of hunger poured into one kiss.Izzy gasped into his mouth, fingers tightening in his shirt as he pulled her closer, like he was afraid of any space between them. His kiss was demanding, relentless, stealing her breath and giving it back in uneven bursts. She could feel it… how much he wanted her, how much he’d missed her.He kissed her like he was trying to say everything he’d failed to put into words.Sorry for nothing knowing better. I want you.When he finally broke the kiss, it was only to rest his forehead against hers, both of them breathing hard. His thumb brushed her cheek, slower now, groundingTell me what you want, my pumpkin,” he whispered, his warm breath brushing against her face. His fingers trailed slowly down her thigh, teasing closer and clo

It had been a month since Dominic and Izzy officially started dating, leaving behind their casual, just-for-fun arrangement.In that time, Dominic had been nothing but a sweetheart. They had shared countless moments… wild, passionate nights in his apartment, at her place, even sneaking kisses and touches in quiet corners at work, in his car, and once on a rooftop under the stars. They’d gone on multiple dates… dinner at fancy restaurants, picnics in the park, late-night walks along the city streets. Izzy couldn’t remember the last time she had been this happy; she loved it all. She’d stayed over at his place, he’d stayed over at hers, and each time, it felt intimate and exciting, like their own little world.Amid all this, she hadn’t had a chance to see Maya. She’d called and texted, but Maya hadn’t responded to her since their fight. Between work and Dominic, there simply hadn’t been time to visit. Still, Izzy thought about her friend often, hoping she wasn’t too upset with her.Frid
