---- Book 1 Chapter 13 realized I hadn't eaten all day. Ignoring the noise, I rummaged through my bag, looking for my pajamas before sticking my head out. The house was dark besides the bedroom I had been waiting in. I plugged my phone into the charger after nearly running the battery dead, reading off the many apps on my phone. Walking down the hall toward the stairs, I ran my hands over the wall, trying to feel for a light switch but came up empty. I felt the door to the bathroom. Twisting the handle, I opened it and flicked on the lights before stepping inside the room. The tiles felt cold underneath my bare feet. I noticed some fresh towels rolled up in a basket next to the sink, and I sighed with relief because I had no idea where the linen closet was. Stripping my clothes off, I turned on the shower and twisted the taps to adjust the heat repeatedly before getting it right. They were touchy and fiddly. I was about to give up when suddenly the water reached a bearable temperature, and I stepped inside the shower. The exhaust fan was the only noise besides the running water. The room filled up with steam and fogged the glass as I washed myself. I didnt notice someone sitting on the sink basin until I turned toward the door. I jumped, a shriek leaving my lips at the fright as my heart palpitated in my chest. 3/5 ---- Book 1 Chapter 13 Woah, geez, Cyrus! I squealed, turning away from his wandering eyes. Heard of knocking? I asked, embarrassed but thankful that the glass was also fogged up, so I knew he couldn't have seen much. Now, why would I knock in my own house? he asked, and I deadpanned. He knew I was in here and yet walked on in, not even worried that it might upset me that he was crossing a line. I waited for him to leave, but he didnt; he just remained sitting on the sink basin. I could feel his eyes roaming over me, making goosebumps rise on my skin, that weird sensation rolling over me when you could feel eyes watching you. Cutting the water off, I stayed with my back to him. If you're not going to get out, can you at least pass me a towel? I asked, not even bothering to hide the anger from my voice. He seriously crossed a line. This went beyond a professional work-related relationship; this was highly inappropriate. I heard the door screen open and held my hand out when I felt him wrap the towel around me, making me jump. His nose ran across my shoulder to the crook of my neck before he pulled back. You smell divine, mouth-watering, he said, and I shook his words off, gripping the towel and 4/5 ---- Book 1 Chapter 13 tightening it around me before turning around to face him. Bending down, I picked up my shower gel. Coconut shower gel. Here, you can use it, I told him, wanting him to move out of the way. He didnt move but stepped aside, allowing me to pass him. Eli isnt very happy with you. Really? I hadn't noticed, I told him, grabbing my clothes off the ground when I suddenly felt hands grip my waist before being shoved onto the sink basin. 5/5 ---- Book 1 Chapter 14 Book 1 Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Cyrus pushed between my legs, standing between them, his hands on either side of my waist, trapping me. He leaned in, his lips almost touching mine, and I gulped, dread filling me when I saw his lips turn up slightly. That attitude is going to get you in some serious trouble, he said. I could feel his lips brush mine as he spoke. He was that close. His hand went to the back of my head before he grabbed a handful of my hair, making me shriek when he ripped my head back. I didnt get any time to process what the fuck was going on when I felt his tongue move between my lips, his tongue tasting every inch of my mouth, and I gasped when he bit down on my lip. I could taste the coppery metallic liquid of my blood filling my mouth. He sucked on my lip, and I moaned softly, heat flooding my cheeks at my reaction to him. Sparks moved over my skin as his hands moved under the towel, his thumbs brushing the insides of my thigh near the apex of my legs as he pushed them W/5 Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
