Rihanna’s POVI blinked a couple of times, straightening up and brushing off the invisible dust on my clothes while pretending as if I couldn't notice Nicholas’ glare at me. "Don't make me repeat myself, Ms. Garcia," he warned with a stern voice."Um," I paused, desperately trying to come up with a quick excuse. "I, uh, saw... there was something... inside my office," I stumbled over my words, awkwardly pointing back and forth between my office and his."Ms. Garcia?" he called, narrowing his eyes slightly."Yes, sir?" I looked down at my feet, then back at his face. "There was a... fly that I was trying to catch, but it...""Ms. Garcia," he cut me off."Yes, sir." I met his gaze briefly, feeling a chill run down my spine under his icy stare. He didn't say anything else, just continued to glare at me as if he wanted me to freeze and disappear."Oh, come on, leave the poor girl alone," Alicia chimed in, pushing Nicholas back and standing between us, shielding me from his gaze. "You're E
"Thank you for coming," Alicia said as I walked into Nicholas’s mansion. "Let's go in through the back so you can get dressed," she suggested.Still in my work clothes, I hadn't had the chance to change at David's house because I never went there. Ben, my usual ride home, had been surprised when I told him I wouldn't be joining him that day. I could see the fear in his eyes, knowing that David wouldn't take it lightly when he found out I had made other plans. I felt a twinge of guilt for Ben, but not enough to cancel my plans.We soon arrived at a spacious bedroom, but I barely had time to appreciate the room before Alicia whisked me into the closet. The sheer number of dresses left me in awe, and I couldn't help but wonder if Alicia lived here with Nicholas.Alicia must have sensed my dilemma in choosing a dress because the next thing she said was, "Why don't you go take a shower while I pick out the perfect dress for you?"She directed me to the en-suite bathroom, and as I stepped i
Rihanna’s POVMy usual reaction to something like that, after the initial shock, would be to push him away and connect my fist with his jaw. I probably would have reacted that way if I hadn't seen him in a different light earlier that night. If I still thought of Nicholas as nothing more than my stone-faced boss, I would have punched him in the face for kissing me.But, I didn't do any of that. Not because I suddenly developed feelings for him, because, trust me, handsome or not, it was easier to fall in love with a statue than Nicholas. I let Nicholas kiss me because it felt so good, and well, it had been almost two years since anyone had kissed me.And no, I didn't kiss back. I just stood there with both hands limp by my side, letting him assault my lips however he wanted. I didn't even close my eyes.He pulled away after a short while, his eyes searching mine. His jaw tightened as he took a step back, and I tried to figure out what had suddenly made him so irritated.“Um…so you don
David’s POVI barely slept the previous night. Since Rihanna told me she kissed that son of a gun, my mind went into overdrive. I couldn’t help but wonder how it all went down. I wanted to barge into her room the minute I processed what she’d said. But she looked exhausted and in dire need of sleep. So, I decided to give her some space and wait until morning. Little did I know, her revelation would keep me tossing and turning all night long. That's why, the moment the clock struck 7 am, I dashed to her room.As I stood there, glaring down at her, she looked at me as if I had no right to be standing in front of her door. It was like she forgot that the house belonged to me. "What do you want?" she asked, with a scowl plastered on her face. I brushed past her and walked into her room, and she shot me a look as if I needed her permission to enter."Close the door," I snapped. My voice came out crankier than I intended, but I was just so frustrated that I had hardly gotten any rest all n
Rihanna’s POVI was mortified. I wanted nothing more than to dig a hole in the ground and bury myself in it forever. “What the fuck!” I exclaimed, disgusted with myself by my reaction. Why did I react that way? Why was my body so…attentive to his touch? Why was I aroused by his scent, his whispers, everything he did? How could I let myself forget who he was and what he’d put me through? How could I forget that he was the reason my parents would never walk me down the altar? I didn’t want him. I couldn’t want him regardless of how sexually frustrated I was and how much I yearned to feel the same feeling I felt two years ago. David was the reason for my misery and if anything I should be making him pay for all he did to me and not gravitating towards him. I groggily stared at my reflection in the mirror, trying to fix my disheveled appearance and any traces of the blush that tinted my cheeks. With a heavy heart, I stepped out of my room, opting to skip breakfast altogether. The mere
Rihanna’s POVMy face was in complete shock. I kept looking back and forth between David and Dave, hoping one of them would just burst out laughing and say it was a joke. I was hoping Dave would be the one to say that because I knew David wouldn't crack a smile even if his life depended on it. But neither of them reacted the way I expected. They both had this serious, stoic look on their faces, and Dave's shocked expression only confirmed that it was real.I shot David a questioning look and subtly took a few steps away from Dave. So many thoughts were racing through my mind. What was David thinking? Did he know about Dave and me? Did David know we used to date? Was that why he approached me at the club that night?Then, David's mom walked up to me, breaking the silence in the room. She had this warm, friendly smile on her face, and it caught me off guard. I didn't know how to react because it was so unexpected. I had imagined David's mom to be just like him, but she was the total opp
David’s POVMy teeth were clenched together as I struggled to keep my emotions in check, especially with my mother sitting right across me. The tightness of my pants grew increasingly uncomfortable, making it harder to focus on the conversation. I couldn't comprehend Rihanna's audacity in crossing that boundary and touching my dick, especially with my mother present. I never expected her to be so daring.Just as my grandfather asked about the progress with the merger, pulling my attention towards him, I placed a firm hand on the one she had on my crotch. I squeezed it tightly, forcefully pulling it away. I paused mid-sentence, my throat suddenly feeling dry, when I felt her hand on me again. My teeth ground together as my grandfather gave me a questioning look for the interruption. "We're still waiting for Montoya to finalize the documents for..." My voice trailed off, my concentration shattered. In an attempt to regain composure, I reached for the wine glass on the table and emptie
David’s POVI’d always thought I had a good idea of what Rihanna tasted like. I’d always thought her scent and taste which had been embedded in my head since that night, two years ago would be exactly as I remembered it if I were to cross paths with her again, but I was wrong. And I’d never been so glad to be wrong in my life as she tasted nothing as I remembered but rather, better. Her lips were as soft as the clouds and her mouth tasted so sweet that I couldn’t find the words to describe it. I could taste the champagne she had earlier as well as a unique taste that pertained to her, the unique taste that was about to make me lose my shit. I nudged her mouth open with my tongue, to invade her mouth and have more of her because I was insatiable. I wanted all of her, I wanted to taste every inch of her. She obliged and the soft whimper she made when my tongue roughly invaded her mouth made my pants grow tighter than ever. Why the fuck did I wait so long to do this? Why the fuck did I
