Steve and Emily returned to the office after their beach getaway, but things had undeniably changed between them. Steve, always a strategist, knew he had to be careful. His focus remained sharp, not on Emily but on his broader mission—his quest for power, control, and dominance over everyone who had ever crossed him. He viewed his growing connection with Emily not as love, but as a calculated move. To him, Emily was a piece on his chessboard, someone he could use to climb higher.Steve had made it clear to Emily before they returned to work: Act as if nothing has changed. His tone was firm, leaving no room for her to question his authority. Emily nodded obediently, but internally, she was filled with a new excitement. For her, the weekend on the beach had been transformative. The intense and raw experience with Steve had awakened something deep within her. She hadn't just fallen for him—she craved him. Every glance from him sent electricity through her, every accidental touch left her wanting more.
Emily wasn't just infatuated with Steve. She felt addicted to him. His primal energy, his dominance over her, made her feel alive in a way she never had before. The memories of the beach echoed in her mind, and she could hardly control herself around him. She wanted more—more of his intensity, more of his raw masculinity. But she also knew she couldn't let that show. Not in the office. Not unless Steve allowed it.
It was Friday morning when Steve and Emily found themselves in the same elevator. Steve stood composed, wearing his usual mask of control. He didn't look at Emily as they rode together in silence, but Emily couldn't help but steal glances at him. Her body was still humming with the aftereffects of their time together. Her mind raced, anticipating what could happen next.
As they passed the fourth floor, the last passenger exited, leaving them alone. The air felt thick with tension, and before Emily could process what was happening, Steve's demeanor shifted. Without a word, he reached out and pressed the emergency stop button. The elevator came to a sudden halt, and the atmosphere changed entirely. He knew this elevator was old. Once the stop button was pressed, it would take at least fifteen minutes to restart. So, he pressed the button, and the elevator stopped. Emily was surprised. She had no idea what was going on.
Emily blinked in surprise as the elevator jerked to a halt. Steve turned to her, his eyes filled with affection and something darker—an intensity that made Emily's heart race. Before she could ask why he stopped the elevator, he pulled her into him with a rough, commanding force. His lips crashed against hers, and the kiss was rough, His tongue was nearly reaching directly to her throat. Emily felt herself getting lost in the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and held him tight. Steve's hands reached on her full and ample breasts. He pressed them with his full strength. Emily felt tears spring to her eyes from the sheer force, but she clung to him, not wanting him to let go.
When the elevator finally started again, Steve gave her a hard smack on her ass. Emily gasped in surprise, the sting making her jump slightly. It indeed hurt, she turned to him with a smoldering look, her voice low but seductive, "This is not enough. You owe me more than that."
