One-Chapter Stories (MILD)

My Sweet Secretary

Night time passed and we both were preparing to go to sleep.

There was only one bed and a couch.

"I-I think I should just sleep on the couch. It's way comfier too," she said, stuttering her words.

"Why take the couch when there's a huge bed in the middle of the room? Come on, we could just put a pillow in between us," I said honestly. I wanted her to sleep beside me, to feel her warmth and her soft skin.

"I don't think Ms. Pierce is going to be delighted about the two of us sleeping on the same bed. It's fine, sir. I don't mind sleeping on the couch. Bwaiswsa, you're my boss. It would be very inappropriate and unprofessional of us to sleep beside each other."

I chuckled beneath my breath and looked up at her, "If you say so."

Still, I couldn't fall asleep. I sit up to go through my phone when I look at where she is sleeping.

The poor little angel was shivering from the coldness of the AC. I forgot to give her a blanket.

I then grabbed the large comforter from my bed and used it to cover her body from the coldness. She looks so peaceful when she's asleep.

I tucked a fallen strand of hair behind her ear and just stayed there for a moment, admiring her beauty.

She gave into my touch and I lined the back of my palm from her forehead to her nose, and then to her lips and up her rosy cheeks. I was surprised she wasn't waking up, Flint told me she was a light sleeper and was easily startled.

Standing up and then laying down beside her, I made myself comfortable with the space on the couch I had to work with.

Feeling her shiver, I snuggled up behind her and wrapped my arm around her, engaging her in my hold like it would somehow protect her... like I would somehow protect her.

Her head nuzzles on my chest and I couldn't help but smile to myself.

It's been so long since I've had physical contact with a woman--not even Irene could make me feel this way.

It's like a school boy seeing his first crush and that feeling inside you makes you feel so alive, like fireworks on the 4th of July.

I shared my warmth with her as I rested my chin on top of her head and closed my eyes, still smiling to myself, and relishing this moment that I had with her.
