“Rebecca, I'm looking for my sweater. Did you see where it is?” Sean called out, raising the covers of the chairs and bed not certain where he kept it.There was no response from Rebecca, which was quite odd so he matched towards where she was, raising his voice a little louder. “Rebecca, did you hear me? I'm looking for*“This?” She completed, holding the exact sweater he was looking for. “I found it on the banister.”“Oh, what would I do without you?” He groaned, pulling the sweater over his head. “Thank you, I was looking all over for it.”“You’re welcome, and in response to your question…nothing. You'd probably do nothing, seeing as you toss things around.” She giggled. “Are you all set? Do you have everything you need?”Sean did a mental checklist of every item he could need and everything checked out. “Yeah, I think so.”“You think so?” She arched a brow. Settling into what Sean would call the ‘Mom phase’ she went around the house, ticking things off with her fingers. “Do you ha
With less than two hours to his departure, Sean ran around making some calls until he was able to buy a ticket for Rebecca, at an extremely high price.He races back to her, holding the ticket triumphantly. “I got it!”Rebecca jumped up from the seat. “How did you even find one of these?”He just smiled. “Got lucky, I guess.” The truth was he saw a man who decided to cancel his flight but persuaded him to buy the ticket instead of getting refunded. It was risky but worth it.“What about clothes?” She reminded him. “I don't have any luggage with me, nothing.”He easily waved off her concerns. “We can easily get you some things when we land, it's too late to go back home and grab some things anyway but in the meantime, you can use mine.”“That’s sweet, thanks.” Her face turned red, and she tucked a stray strand of hair away from her face staring intently at the floor. “Sean excused himself to get some snacks and when he came back, Rebecca was fast asleep.Cradling her against his chest
The shrill ring of her alarm joked Moriah up from her deep slumber with a gasp. Thankfully, she was alone in bed so she didn't have to worry about waking her husband.Pushing away strands of hair from her face, Moriah tried to control her breathing reaching out to her bedside table to stop the beeping.Her heartbeat slowed to normal but she sensed that sleep was far away.Flinging back the bedsheets, Moriah swung her leg over on the bed shuffling her feet into slippers.Glancing at the digital clock propped up on the table, she noticed it was just 6:15.She shrugged the robe over her nightgown, tightening the sash over her midriff.After slashing cold water on her face to properly wake her brain up, Moriah made her way to the kitchen.Her house, just like any of the Lamberts was massive. Eight bedrooms, two master bedrooms, a lounge, a heated pool, and state of the art cinema and game room. It even had a ballroom, not that it saw much action.Except for the few times she had to host
A quick shower made Moriah feel good again and in less than an hour, she was dressed up and ready to go to the company.Caesar wasn't picking up her calls, so she was clueless about what was going on. The only reason why he would schedule such an impromptu meeting is if he had something important to share but if he did, shouldn't it have been run through by her?It was a bit confusing.As she rushed out the door to where her driver was waiting, Adriana called out to her. “Mrs Lambert! You forgot your coat!”Pressing a hand to her chest, she stopped to take it from her. “Oh, thank you! It is freezing out here.”“Do you have any idea what the meeting is about?” She asked.Moriah shook her head. “Not a clue. I have to go now or I'll be late.”“Stay safe!” Adriana called out, hanging back as Moriah rushed into the safety of the bulletproof car, standing by the curb as she watched them go.Fortunately, Moriah didn't have much time to dwell on the mystic nature of the meeting because as soo
Clement didn't look surprised he was positively brimming with excitement as he strolled forward to receive a handshake from Caesar.Caesar's face was unreadable, so Moriah couldn't tell if he was pleased or unhappy with his decision.Clement with a bright smile on his face, puffed his chest out and cleared his throat. “On behalf of Lambert Inc., I must say that you made a very wise decision and I will bring your expectations and hopes to pass.” He said to Caesar, pumping his hand vigorously before turning to face us. His gaze skimmed over Moriah’s latching on to the girl he was sitting next to.She had stars in her eyes as she looked at Clement, leaning forward as though she wanted to touch him.Hmmm, that was interesting.Moriah made a mental note to find out who she was and why Clement was suddenly attached to her.Clement's booming voice intruded into her thoughts and she focused on him once more.“Being the CEO of a company such as this is a huge task, one that many of you doubt
Rebecca's eyes bulged when Sean kissed her and she froze in place, not sure how to act or what to do. Sean senses the resistance and immediately backpedaled, thinking he read the room wrong and made a mistake. Groaning, he slapped a hand over a face briefly closing his eyes in shame. “Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me. I shouldn't have done that.” His hands were raised, his eyes filled with apologies. “Believe me when I say, I had no intentions of doing that when I invited you over. I-”Rebecca's cool touch on his skin calmed him down, stopping him from rambling. “It's fine, Sean.” She bit her lip, not sure if she should say anything more. Should she tell him that her heart sang for joy when their lips touched and all she wanted was more?Should she tell him that the only reason why she froze up wasn't because she was disgusted or repulsed but due to surprise?Unfortunately, the pause went on for too long making things awkward so Sean decided to retreat.“Um,
Sean stiffened for a moment when he felt Rebecca's lips on his. He was taken by surprise at her forward reaction but then he was tired of always feeling alone, betrayed by everybody he met.For once in his life, he wanted to be selfish and capitulate on his emotions.Seizing her upper arms, Sean slanted his lips over hers kissing her deeply. Conscious of the mirrors, he tried to keep it PG but Rebecca wasn't having it, practically devouring his lips.Biting down on her plump lips, he gripped her chin in a firm hold roaming his hands up and down his body.She moaned, sneaking her hand underneath his shirt. The skin-on-skin contact drove him wild and all his restrictions flew out the window.Shoving her up against the nearest flat surface roughly, he seized both hands in one moving his mouth to her neck.Hesitating, he drew back to look at her. “Are you sure that you want this?”Rebecca's eyes were filled with hunger and she snaked a hand around his neck. “You having second thoughts?”
Standing the freezing cold, Chloe looked left and right for any sign of Luke.His car wasn't here yet. Rolling her palms together to ward off the cold, she took a quick glance at her watch biting her lower lip.Twenty minutes late.“Chloe!” she heard him yell from down the street, waving his hands like a madman. He had on a leather jacket and a longer coat that reached his legs and a fitted jean that molded the shape of his thighs. To finish off the look, loafers donned his feet. Jumping out of his car midway, he raced to get to her wrapping his hands around her.“I'm so sorry I'm late, the car broke down on my way here.” He apologized, rubbing his arms over hers. “Hope you aren't pissed off?”Actually, she was but Luke looked so torn up over it that she decided to let it go. “It's fine. I would like to get out of the cold though.”He practically carried her into his car, cranking the heat up to the highest.Chloe slowly felt the cold ebb away and she could slowly feel that she was re
