JADE.

IVAN WAS ON A CALL, which I was glad for. I quickly dialed Spencer's number, and he answered the phone almost immediately.

"Jade, where have you been? I've been waiting for you." I could hear the worry in his voice.

Spencer was such a worrywart sometimes.

"I'm sorry. The event lasted long and I was trying not to be rude to Mr Schwartz by leaving early."

I shut my eyes, not pleased that I was lying to him.

"I'm also very busy, so I guess it works for both of us. I have to compile those receipts for my boss. Have you had anything to eat?"

I stiffened when I felt Ivan's arms wrap around my waist from behind and his face nuzzle into my neck.

"Jade?" I heard Spencer say.

"Ye-yeah? Yeah, I mean, yes."

"Are you alright?"

"Yes. I..."

Ivan's busy hands stopped below my breasts and his lips started teasing my neck.

"I am."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. At the office today...."

Spencer went on and on about something his boss did; I wasn't so sure. At this point, I was trying not to make any suspicious sounds through the phone as Ivan hugged me close to himself. Chipping in fake laughter here and there became difficult when his hands slipped inside the huge shirt. I shut my eyes in anticipation before his big warm hands fondled my breasts.

"Jade?"

My eyes snapped open. "Yes, yes, yes. I can hear you. I just got distracted. So what happened after that?"

Ivan turned me around. His lips were on mine as he removed the phone from my grip and held it far away.

Resist him. Why are you letting him touch you? You just met.

I wanted to scold myself, but the truth was that I was loving every second of it.

"Honey, I think you must be very tired right now. Get some rest. I'll call you first thing in the morning, okay?

"O-o..."

I slapped my hand over my mouth when I realized that I was moaning. Ivan was circling and pinching my hardened nubs and I just wanted to toss my phone far away, so I could pay attention to the man in front of me.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I heard Spencer ask.

"Yes...just really tired."

Ivan stepped back with a satisfied smile and left the balcony.

"Okay then. Get some rest. Goodnight, I love you."

"I love you too," I whispered, guilt taking over me.

"Bye."

The call disconnected and I sank to the floor in shame. You fucking whore.

After a much needed lecture to myself, I went back into the room, and found Ivan laying on the bed with his back to me. I quietly tiptoed to the couch at the side of the room.

"What are you doing?"

I stiffened and turned to look behind me only to find him staring at me. I pointed to the couch and said, "Going to sleep?"

"You're sleeping here," he tapped the space beside him.

"Nah, I'm good. I actually love sleeping on couches," I replied, laying down and getting comfortable.
