"I just thought..." I begin, flustered, not really sure where my words are headed.

He shakes his head.

"We can't," he states, removing my hand from his. "There are a million reasons why we can't."

He runs a hand through his hair, seemingly frustrated, and then looks back at me with those haunting, green eyes. 

I know he's right. I'm married, I have a family, and he's also my boss. 

***

Vanessa Harrison has acquired everything she's ever wanted in life: a creative lead position at an advertising agency, a perfect two-story house in the suburbs, and a Pinterest-worthy family life.

Until she meets Christopher, the new CEO.

Chris shows her that it's okay to dream bigger, and suddenly, the foundation that Vanessa has based her entire life on, begins to crumble. With her family life at risk, and fate balancing in the air, Vanessa must ultimately choose between the life that she's always wanted, and the life that she never knew she needed.

"You know what your name means?" He asked her, staring into her piercing dark brown eyes as he traced his fingers up and down her smooth rich chocolate brown skin. "No. Do you know what my name means?" She asked, intrigued as she studied his face, unable to read his expression for once. "Mhm." He hummed, his eyes dropping down to her plump glossy lips before meeting her eyes again. "It means the experience of awakening." "Really?" She tilted her head, not missing how his eyes never left hers. He nodded, licking his lips before saying, "And that's exactly what you are for me."

She's Mine [COMPLETE] by MayenWrites

*12/13/ 21- Rewrite in the works :)* In a corporate world, being career driven is a quality commendable by many. Yet, when you're a woman- that only wants to focus on that aspect of her life- the validity of your gender always comes into question. Eliza Kelly is one of those hardworking people who fought hard to get to where she is as a CIO of Bluestar Technologies. She never felt like less of a person because she hardly let her thoughts linger around marriage or children. She was a respected individual, but there was something about her not wanting to fulfill her "womanly duties" that mildly suppressed the micro-aggressions of her predominantly male environment. According to them, she was secretly strange, too uptight, or not a "normal" woman. However, when Eliza experiences an accidental pregnancy, from a short lived-tryst, she's faced with decisions she never planned to make. The difficult situation is not something Eliza can hide, and she can't deny the pressure surrounding what is expected of her the moment she was unwillingly reminded that she is a woman.

"Get the fuck away from me, Leo." I lean down a little, so we're barely eye level. "You followed me to New York. Are you really that desperate?" "If you believe that my life revolves around your immature self, then your life must be sad. I fucking hate you," she responds.

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏

Slow Poison by Jannysweet487

[A SWEET MAFIA ROMANCE] Nicole thought that her life would be easy now after she left behind all the memories of an awful night, which led to an unexpected tribulation in her life. She moved into a new city trying to forget the inexplicable incident that happened with her. Little did she know that she can never escape from it because the devil will always find her. No matter how hard she tries to get away from him. He was meant to be her medicine but he turned out to be a Slow Poison. ------------------------------------- I hear his hoarse voice bringing me back from the daze as he growls in between the kisses. "You have no idea how dangerous it can be..." He says with his lips going down to the area just above my breast, he sucks in desperately, squeezing my ass gently, making me whimper in bliss. I clutch to his shirt, trying to hold my body from collapsing. "Careful...You are messing with the devil, Cole." He doesn't let me breathe for a minute as he starts attacking me with his open-mouthed kisses all the way back. Rapture succumbs me as I feel his lips again on my neck, traveling higher. I breathe heavily, unable to maintain my composure while being acquainted with this unfamiliar sensation. His lips reach my ear as he gently nibbles my earlobe. "You know why people call me the devil?" His breath fanning over my ear. "It's not because I am a sinner." His harsh breath comes out in pants, showing me how equally he is affected as he continues. "It's because I am capable of making innocent people commit sins."

Temporary Fix | 18+ by FurtiveFantasies

"Every bone in my body is begging me to devour you." He was just too close, clouding my senses and making my head foggy. "Every bone?" My voice was breathless, barley above a whisper as his calloused fingers lowered to drag across the inner flesh of my thighs. "There's one in particular just dying to know how it feels to be buried between your legs." His hands slid back down before hooking behind my knees to drag my ass to the edge of the table and press himself against me. An involuntary moan slipped past my lips. "Maybe you should find out." What are you saying, Quinn? He moved closer, pressing his face into my neck to kiss and nip at the skin some more. His lips moved up across my jaw, "I should, shouldn't I?" My mouth opened to reply but only a silent moan escaped me because his hand was beneath my skirt and his thumb was pressing deliciously between my folds. . . .
