Chapter 15 : The Growing Tension

Scarlett

Working with Alexander was becoming increasingly difficult. Not because of his ruthlessness, but because of the way he teased me. His touches, his whispers, his intense gazes - all of it was driving me to distraction.

One day, while we were in a meeting, Alexander's leg brushed against mine under the table. The touch was electric, sending shivers up my spine. I glanced at him, but he was focused on the presentation, a small, knowing smile playing on his lips.

After the meeting, he cornered me in the hallway. "Scarlett," he whispered, his breath warm against my ear, "I can't stop thinking about you."

My heart raced as his hand brushed against my hip. "Alexander, we can't... not here."

He smirked, his eyes dark with desire. "Why not? I love watching you try to stay composed."

His words ignited a fire within me, but I knew we had to be careful. "We need to be professional, Alexander. People are already talking."

He nodded, but his gaze never wavered. "Just know that when we're alone, all bets are off."

Alexander

Scarlett's resolve was admirable, but it only made me want her more. I loved pushing her boundaries, seeing the desire in her eyes even as she tried to maintain her professionalism.

One evening, I found her working late in the office. The building was quiet, most of the employees already gone. I approached her desk, my intentions clear.

"Scarlett," I said, my voice low and husky, "why are you still here?"

She looked up, surprised but pleased to see me. "Just finishing up some reports. What about you?"

"I was hoping to find you here," I replied, leaning closer. "I can't stop thinking about our kiss."

Her breath hitched, and I could see the conflict in her eyes. "Alexander, we shouldn't..."

I cut her off with a kiss, my hands sliding down her back. She melted into me, her resistance crumbling. "No more talking," I murmured against her lips. "Just let go."

We made love right there in the office, the thrill of getting caught adding to the intensity. It was passionate, raw, and completely exhilarating. As we lay together afterwards, I knew there was no going back. Scarlett was mine, and I would do whatever it took to keep her.
