Prologue
“The S.O publishing industry; in New York., Six months ago, if someone told me that my dream to work here will come to pass I would probably stone them to death.” Grace mutter.
“How I wish mom and dad were here to see this.” Crying “seriously Grace, not right now, get a hold of yourself, no thinking of the past, you need to move forward.” She encourages herself.
But the fact that the boss asked her to wait behind was weird and now it’s 8:pm apart from the boss, she is the only one in the office., as if that was not enough, he sent for her, “jazz I don’t want to lose this job, I wonder what he wants.”
She stood up from her desk and went to the boss's office standing outside the heavy gold metal door with a name boldly written in silver “Noah Creed” she mutters to herself then all of a sudden the voice that always shook her to the core spoke.
“You don’t need to stand there Grace, come in.”
Oh god! That voice. With one deep breath; she pushes the metal door open. “Good day sir.” she said calmly she could never get tired of that amazing figure, clearing her throat “you sent for me sir.”
“yes.” He said looking that the pure gold wristwatch on his arm, Damn it must be good to be rich, he open that manly but adorable mouth to speak again, “it’s almost 8:30; I was wondering, why you still haven’t left.” He said calmly.
What the hell “sir, you ask me to wait behind.” Is he joking with me, this handsome bastard?
“Ah! I did, didn’t I,” with that simple yet annoying statement, she lost it
“What? Are you fucking kidding me right now?” oh shit, did I just say that “I mean sir….”
“No, Grace.” He said cutting me off with the wave of his hand; then said as he stood up “am not ‘fucking kidding you, I just didn’t think, you would listen to me, you never do, despite me being your boss.”
“Huh.” She said awkwardly looking at her hands, seriously Grace, you, just die, and she cursed herself.
“But you know the funniest thing…..” he said, now standing in front of her, since when, she wonders. As he traces the line of her ears causing her to shiver in excitement;
Boy! Who would have thought she was sensitive in that area, he forced her head up “I am going to ‘fuck you here and now Grace, and it won’t be a joke.”
What did he just say? While she was trying to figure out what was going on; he plunges his mouth on hers and as she gasps; he dives in exploring the deepest part of her mouth, with his tongue and all oh my god! He was French kissing her and because it was her first time Grace forgot to breathe and choked.
“Are you alright?” he asked puzzled.
“Are you trying to kill me?” Grace asked lost and confused, was that a kiss or a death sentence?
“What are you talking about Grace? How can you die with just a kiss?” he said as he places his hand on her shoulder and added “it’s not like, it’s your first time to be kissed?” she went stiff in his arms and a great silence followed after his question.
Noah Creed looked at Grace puzzled, come on! There’s no way, that’s her first kiss. With the look on her face right now, yeah! It totally was
Relationship with co-staffs in all his establish are forbidden and the staffs that were found in a relationship will be fired, that how it has always been and there were a lot of people who fell victim and was fired by him but since this wild, crazy girl Grace Bush came in, he minds, heart and body have been in chaos and the fact that she has always stolen a glance at him, thinking he was not aware, that was a signer; Now he just wanted to satisfied his desire and send her packing by morning but this; if that was her first kiss, it also means, she has never had sex, great! He hates virgins with passion, there are too clinging and with his past experience, he was not looking for anything serious.
He was always quick to tell things like this but why couldn’t he this time; what change? He should apologize and sends her away but for some reason, he could not, and as someone possess by a demon, he did something he had never done in his life. He kissed her yet again.
Maybe time stopped when his lips met hers again, but the flutter only intensified. Grace’s heart pounded in her chest as her knees got weaker. She could only focus on how soft he felt against her mouth, how addictively he invaded all her senses.
It still wasn’t clear if she dreamed this moment to live, but there was raw emotion in the way his fingers curled around hers. Noah kept his eyes half-open, sneaking a guilty peek at her every time he came back for air, just to make sure this wasn’t a product of his imagination. Heat rose from Grace’s stomach to her chest.
The smell of him hypnotic beyond reason; She parted her lips and felt him washing over her like a wave of warmth, curling her toes, unfurling all her senses as the taste of him nearly silenced all thoughts.
Her whole body tingled, the feel of his frame leaning on hers as his arms wrapped around her felt nearly forbidden and was. He pulled her in, claiming her mouth again, hungry and intense, until her knees gave in. By the time Grace became aware of her fingers, they had already slipped under his shirt, his skin smooth and radiating heat.
As if time had stopped right there, as they stood propped against his office desk, glued to one another. As if no one else existed and there was no risk of her job or company policies at sake and for Noah, as if he’d never been with a woman before, what was this new feeling; he has never felt it before not with the women has been with.
Grace what are you doing, if this continues you know what going to happen before her strength weakens, she pushed him away “sorry sir, but I don’t think we should do this.”
“What are you talking about Grace?” he asked confused “you want me right now, just as much as I want you.”
Yes she couldn’t deny it but her wanting is totally different from his and there so many things at stake “am sorry sir but I can’t.” she said and with one last glance at him she ran off.
“We can’t?” Noah murmur puzzled “She said, like hell! He defiantly saw the desire in her eyes and for someone who had no experience, she was daring and wild.” Though he still can’t put a name to this new feeling; he already misses her lips and not until he gets what he wants, she is not going anywhere. “Sorry Grace,” he said laughing to himself in the empty office “you can’t escape me for long; am Noah creed, when I want something; am gonna get no matter how long it takes.”
Grace kept on running not until she got out of the building she didn’t stop but the moment she saw the security guard, she slowed down so there doesn’t suspect anything.
“What just happened?” She said still shriving, “OMG! Grace you are crazy, how could saw come so easily, even if you wanted it.” In all my weirdest dream; I would not have imagined my first kiss to be in an office and a crazy one at that and by a rich and powerful man such Noah Creed no less; I would argue it.
Just how did this happen?
