Just a Little Taste

"You- you don't want me?" I ask, feeling stupid again. I'd fallen for his sweet nothings again.

Fallen for his insistent touch, for the electricity between us, again.

For the moments I thought we'd shared, moments that meant something to me.

"No." and I felt like he'd just slapped me, my face falls as I retreat into myself. What the hell was I doing? Rejection? I didn't do rejection, I didn't want this in the first place. He wanted me, not the other way around.

"I don't believe you" I state, reining in my emotions, he was lying. He had to be lying and I was going to find out.

I step forward and place my hands on his taut chest, allowing my nails to press firmly into the fabric of his
shirt. He shifts and I press my lips up to the side of his throat, placing a tender bite before darting my tongue over the spot and he grunts low at the contact and I smirk to myself. He wanted me, it was undeniable. No matter what he said-his body would betray him, and I knew exactly how to proceed to prove him wrong.

She was inexperienced but she was determined to succeed. And when an intern position opens up she takes the opportunity to work from the bottom to the top.

But what happens when she finds out her boss is a notorious tight-ass and also the most attractive man she's ever met.

Antonio Riviera was one of the most successful young men in the country, a co-owner of ELS Investment firm, and an emotionally unavailable asshole. When a beautiful young woman begins working for him he thinks nothing of it, beautiful women were a dime a dozen. But his interest is peaked when he sees her out one night, he only needed too taste her, just once.

A love story about two slightly fucked up people falling in love? Can you call it that if one's in denial and the other is grieving, nah I think that's it's just a hot mess.
