Read at your own discretion.] "What about that no fucking colleagues policy, huh? The one you so haughtily rubbed in my face?" The way to wound my heart is through my pride. The bastard knew that. But the look in Hans' eyes told me this wasn't a game to get me all riled up. "If your office ethics involve you getting into Tim's pants, then why don't I get to play too?" His hands flew down to my legs, tickling the bare skin on my legs and shocking me into stillness when I felt him pull up the corners of my dress till they were bunched up at my waist. "You can't," I breathlessly whispered as he forced my legs apart. One hand sauntered up to my neck, resting at my collarbone while the other snaked between my legs, parting my thighs until he had all of me resting at the tip of his fingers. "Is this cause of him," he growled, his finger dipping into my heat just slightly, circling the entrance, "or me?" He sounded so needing, so deprived. It turned me on knowing that I was the one making him feel this way, that despite being the one thrown up against a wall, I had the ultimate power over this man. "It's...It's you." I gulped and met his eyes. "It's all you." ● What happens when an unstoppable, hard-hitting business woman meets an unmovable, chauvinist, and utterly exhausting heir to a multi-million empire?

"Pardon?" I almost choked on a piece of rice. An amused expression played across his face and even that turned me on. "When I asked you for coffee and then dinner," he clarified. "What made you say yes?" The fact that you're so hot and I want you to take me to your bed right now. "I... well..." I cleared my throat, starting to feel flushed and took a long sip of wine. "You seemed nice." Really? That's all I could come up with? "Nice?" he smirked with a chuckle, tapping his fingers on the table. "You must have me mistaken, sweetheart."

He came home sad, depressed, outraged and annoyed. So he picked up the Pen and started writing. Update(2019) The ideas represented in this book, the feelings and the emotions are no longer relevent. I don't feel the same way I used to. It still amazes me that people actually are still reading this book since I haven't updated in years. It's no longer relatable but it has surely a very strong place in my heart. Good luck reading. Wahab.
