ELVISThe kiss deepened.For those moments, nothing else seemed to matter. My body wanted more than a kiss.Hazel suddenly broke away. She turned her face to the side, breathing heavily.That was my cue to leave.A sensible man would have stood up, walked back to his car and used the short drive to Doris's apartment to get his head together.Apparently, I wasn't a sensible man tonight.I stayed exactly where I was.The place we'd chosen to sit was quiet and a little dark. People passed occasionally in the distance, but with the seat positioned where it was, they would hardly notice anyone sitting there unless they deliberately looked.I looked at Hazel. Her eyes were still turned away from me.She was intoxicating me without even trying, her scent wasn't helping either. I'd forgotten how much I loved it.My body was reacting badly to having her this close again. I could feel my boner threatening to rip through my zip. I was losing my mind.Tomorrow, I can think clearly. I can remembe

HAZELI had been beating myself up throughout the drive from the supermarket to my house.Now, I was sitting inside my car, staring through the windscreen and replaying everything that happened.What the hell did I just do? It was only meant to be a talk.That was all.I went to Elvis because his car was blocking mine. Then I realised something was wrong with him, and somehow that turned into us taking a walk.That should have been the end of it. I smacked my forehead with my palm.“Shit!”I messed up. Big time.My body betrayed me. Actually, blaming my body was ridiculous because I had a brain, a functioning one. At least I thought it was functioning until Elvis Laurent kissed me.“Hazel, where the hell is your self-control?”Apparently, nowhere to be found.Just one kiss from that man and I melted in his hands like wax.The moment I broke away from the first kiss, I should have gotten up.I should have walked straight back to my car, driven home and forgotten the whole thing happene

EMILYThe colour drained from my face.I wanted to dig my nails into someone's eyes.Hazel had audacity. So much of it that a tiny part of me had to give her credit.Are you scared you've lost your touch on him, and just maybe he still wants some of my sugar?The words rang in my head. I hated her.This morning was supposed to be a good one.I woke up in a wonderful mood and decided to surprise my son at work. Jarvis had been so excited about getting this job, and I wanted him to know how proud I was of him.So, I got breakfast for him, nothing complicated.Drop by his workplace, spend a little time with him and leave.My morning had been perfect until I saw Hazel walking through those doors on six-inch heels, wearing a fitted dress that fell below her knees.What the hell was she doing here?Out of every company in thiscity, she had to work in the same one as Jarvis?I hated the coincidence.Even more, I hated the way I felt whenever I saw her.I needed to constantly remind myself th

ELVISI decided to work from my study today.Going into the office would require a level of concentration I clearly didn't possess.Last night was terrible.Every time I managed to sleep, Hazel found her way into my dreams. My brain kept dragging me back to what happened between us, replaying pieces of it until I woke up frustrated with myself.Twice, I got out of bed for water. The third time, I gave up trying to sleep altogether.Forty-eight hours without proper rest, an emotional confrontation with Doris, and what happened with Hazel should have been enough to knock me out for twelve hours; apparently not.I stared at the figures on my laptop.I'd been reading the same financial report for several minutes and couldn't remember a single number.I scrolled back to the top.I need to focus, there is work to do.A company in Melbourne needed my approval on a revised acquisition proposal, I had reports from two subsidiaries waiting, and Peter had already sent three messages asking when

HAZEL“If you ever try this shit again, I will report you for sexual assault.”Jarvis's hand was still pressed against his cheek.I pointed at him.“Scratch that. I will wait for you after work and beat you blue-black. You do realise the kind of strength I possess, right? Going to prison made me tougher too, so don't test me.”The fear on his face was glaring.For his own sake, he'd better take this last warning seriously.This wasn't our first rodeo.Years ago, I had fought a man who intended to rip him off. Jarvis had seen me in action. He knew I wasn't one of those women who threatened people and went home to practise what she should have done in the mirror.I could fight, and I had very little patience left for him.When he finally removed his hand from his cheek, the side of his face where my palm landed had turned reddish.I scoffed.“Just one slap and you're blushing this much. Imagine if I punch you.”His mouth opened but he was too startled to say a word“Out.”He turned an
