"Her nearly bare shoulders from her slipping gown were hunched upwards, while her hands buried themselves in the roots of the man between her legs. A man recognized to be none other than Charles. Hands gripped onto the outer of both Emilia's thighs to support her, he knelt before her, steadying her weight on the windowsill and his shoulders to allow his head to nuzzle. The sound of her constant panting - a desperate attempt to keep the loud moans at bay - quickly warmed the peeping chef's cheeks as he looked on in utter shock. Emilia's toes curled and pointed as Charles' head shamelessly nuzzled closer, the sound of his technique ringing in their ears. Throwing her torso over him, Emilia clawed at his shoulders as his tongue tortured her in the most desirable of ways. "Ch-Charles," she gasped, clutching onto the fabric of his blouse as her legs twitched with the arrival of a second orgasm. "Be still," was his only breathy response as he continued the assault.

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?
