The young brunette was heavily panting while being trapped against the hotel wall, unable to escape from her boss's enclosure. Her bosom heaving as the older man's right forearm rests against the wall above her head. His left hand, also placed on the freshly painted surface, was just inches away from her hips. He had successfully trapped her against the wall and that was ultimately his goal. He didn’t plan on moving away one bit. His only motivation was to move closer so he could continue to smell the nice, floral scent coming off from her body.

While towering over her five-foot-four-inch frame, his lips lean in towards her neck, yearning to suck those pale delicate skin that he had longed to touch.

"S... Sir," Ari finally manages to utter, unable to face him. Her voice was weak and breaking. She was still in total shock to be in such a predicament. "We shouldn't be doing this."

Ren freezes. He didn't dare to go any further. He wasn't willing to back away either. How would the world see him now if she was to report him to HR? It’ll even be worse if she reported it to the media. However, his feelings for her that had been bottled up inside him were reaching its limit. She was like an irresistible drug to him. He has been hooked and didn’t want to lose the opportunity to devour it.

"Please," he begs softly in the rich, deep voice that Ari had grown to love. "Don't stop me."

The twenty-four year old's heart palpitates to his desperate yet gentle plea. She felt her face heating up while her legs slightly quiver when his warm breath tickled against her skin. Oh, how she longed to hear him whisper softly to her ears like this. If this scenario were to happen a few months ago, she would have easily jumped right into his arms and allowed him to violate her completely. However, the situation has changed. She is no longer a stranger to him. They are colleagues. And most importantly, he is her boss.

"I've seen the way you've looked at me," the forty-four year old continues while leaning in closer towards her ear. A hint of conviction is present in his statement, "I know you want this just as much as I do too."

Ari's cheeks blush bright red as those words seep through her conscience. His observations were so damn true but she wouldn’t dare to admit it. No way. She quickly shot a look at him, forcing herself to deny his accusation. "Mr. Hawk! What are you talking about—"

Without warning, his large hands capture her cheeks and passionately kiss those luscious lips that he had craved for so long. Ari's eyes widens at the unexpected surprise but quickly flutters shut as the kiss melted her to her very core. He tilts his head slightly, kissing the top then bottom of her lips. The captivated woman exhales a soft moan, appreciating the gentleness of his technique. While still enraptured by the sweet osculation, she secretly wanted his lips to wander across her entire body, nibbling gently at her every crevice.

It felt like the world was slowing down. The few seconds of the present moment felt like eternity and she wanted it to last forever. The current scenario was exactly what she wanted ever since she first laid eyes on him.

Ren finally releases the flustered girl after another hot minute. The confident boss smiles when he sees her rosy cheeks. He was well aware that she was impressed with his tender lip service.

"Tell me to stop, and I'll leave this instant," he states firmly. Although he told her that, he didn’t actually want to leave right then and there. Unfortunately, there were too many obstacles in his way. He is a married man with a son almost the same age as her. With his current reputation and status, he had to be careful at all times. However, Ari was just too tempting. He couldn’t hold back his lust for her. 

Ari on the other hand was silent, still unable to fully process what had just happened. The city of Pearl Bay’s hottest and richest business tycoon had just kissed her. Initially, one would feel disgusted for attempting to wreck a marriage of twenty plus years. However, deep down, that issue didn’t really bother her as much as it should because she knew that his marriage has been broken for a long time now. The power couple is only still together to maintain their good image in public. Who knows if they are even still active in bed together.

Ren slowly backs away, feeling rejected. He feels horrible for forcing her to do something so immoral. Once his mind reverts back to take control of his emotions, he knows that he messed up and needs to leave the room. But before he could take one step further, he was suddenly stopped when a hand grabbed onto his wrist. The surprised man turns around and looks at his assistant deep in her dark brown eyes, making her cheeks redden even more.

"How dare you say that when you've already made your move," she replies coyly before pulling him in closer. Although Ari barely reaches his shoulder, she makes sure to stay close enough so their bodies are only centimeters apart.

Ren smiles with a sigh of relief while glancing into her eyes to acknowledge her feelings. He was glad that she felt the same about him too.

It was her turn now to reciprocate her feelings. Ari reaches for his cheeks with her small hands. She tiptoes and pulls the six-foot man down to match her height and passionately brushes her lips against his. Her tongue licks his lips before entering inside his mouth.

He chuckles, surprised at the daring young lady but loving every bit of this deliciously pleasant sensation.

Once their tongues met, they quickly clashed and coiled as if they'd both been deprived of each other for centuries. He tasted as delicious as he looked, making Ari's sexual tension grow even wilder. Just the thought of fucking him made her body tremble. She held onto him tightly, unwilling to release him just yet. She was eager to explore a new forbidden adventure.

He was right, she admits to herself while still entangled in the fiery tongue-tied war. I had once dreamt of this moment. I've tried to fight these feelings away by occupying my mind with work and other things that’ll keep me busy. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to erase him out of my mind no matter how hard I tried to deny these increasing feelings. And now, I've dug my own grave.

It all started three months ago.
