“Let it happen, Olivia,” he murmured into our kiss, his voice commanding. “I want to see you unravel for me.”
A surge of exhilaration washed over me as I surrendered myself to his command, my body trembling on the precipice of ecstasy. The anticipation built within me, a coil winding tighter and tighter until I could barely breathe.
“Please, Alexander,” I begged, my words muffled by our kisses. “I need it… now.”
That’s all it took. With one final, powerful thrust, Alexander pushed us both over the edge. My vision blurred as waves of pleasure crashed over me, drowning out everything but the overwhelming sensation coursing through my body.
“Olivia!” Alexander gasped, his own climax overtaking him. Our bodies trembled in unison, each shudder sending ripples of pleasure coursing through us.
As the aftershocks faded, Alexander released my wrists, our sweat-slicked bodies collapsing onto the bed in a tangled embrace. I buried my face in the crook of his neck, inhaling his scent mixed with the musk of our passion.
“God, Olivia,” he whispered, his breath hot against my ear. “You have no idea what you did to me.”
“Alexander,” I murmured, my body still humming with the remnants of our passion, “you make me feel alive.”
We lay there, limbs entwined, pulses still pounding, reveling in the aftermath of our desire. The world beyond our embrace faded away, leaving only the connection between us—raw, powerful, and utterly consuming.
Chapter Fifteen
Olivia
I jolted upright in the hotel bed, gasping for air. I was naked, and the cold sweat covering my body made me shudder. I glanced beside me—Alexander, his toned body on display under the white sheets, still fast asleep. I cursed myself for letting this happen again. My resolve crumbled around him like sand slipping through my fingers.
“Stupid… weak…” I muttered, forcing myself out of the soft bed, desperate to put distance between us. The cool hardwood floor greeted my feet as I stumbled towards the bathroom, pulling a blanket up and around my body.
“Olivia?” Alexander’s sleep-roughened voice cut through the air like a knife. His hand wrapped around my arm. “Where are you going?”
“Let go,” I snapped, yanking my arm away from his grip. But he only tightened it, his eyes darkening with concern and confusion. “I need to get dressed.”
“Stop,” he commanded. “Tell me what’s wrong.”
“God, I am so stupid,” I whispered, tears stinging the corners of my eyes. Despite his best efforts, I managed to break free from his grasp, putting a few precious feet between us.
But Alexander wasn’t giving up that easily. He leapt out of bed, crossing the space between us in an instant, pinning me against the wall. His powerful chest pressed against mine, our breaths mingling in the air. I tried to ignore the fact that he was naked, but I could feel his arousal pressed against my hip. It only made my thoughts more scrambled.
“Is it because of our age difference?” he asked. His voice was hard, but I swore I saw a flash of insecurity in his eyes. “Do you think I’m some ancient relic taking advantage of you?”
A bitter laugh escaped my lips, the sound echoing through the room. “You think I care about our age difference? Is the powerful CEO actually insecure about something so trivial?”
“Then what is it?” His eyes bore into mine, searching for an answer.
“Fine,” I spat out, my chest heaving. “It’s because you’re my boss, and a relationship between us could derail my career if discovered.”Or when you got tired of it.
Alexander’s grip loosened as he absorbed my words, his expression softening. He released me, stepping back to give me space. There was a part of me that yearned for more—for commitment and something deeper. But could Alexander offer that? Could he truly commit?
“Olivia,” he said, running a hand through his disheveled hair. “I understand your concerns, but it isn’t like that. I wouldn’t fire you—I think I proved that when you called this off and I didn’t let it affect the workplace.”
I blinked, letting that soak in. I guess he didn’t. He could have taken my rejection out on me, but he didn’t.
Still, I wasn’t sure if he just wanted the forbidden fruit. We were trapped in a hotel, and I was an easy lay that he had to work to get. I was hesitant to believe that he wouldn’t toss me aside once someone better came along.
“It doesn’t have to be bad,” he continued. “Workplace relationships only become a scandal if the boss doesn’t know—which—” He smirked, “he does. Or if someone is married.” He raised his left hand. “I’m not. Or if it goes down in flames. I can assure you that I know how to keep my personal and business life separate, as I’ve proved. Whatever happens with us won’t jeopardize you.”
I stared at him, wanting desperately to believe that he was telling the truth. And as I turned it over in my mind, I knew that there was no reason not to believe him. He was right in every way.
And I wanted this. I really did. It wasn’t just that it was exciting—both because he was my boss and because he was so much older—but I genuinely enjoyed being with him. I had started to let down my walls, share things with him I didn’t expect. And the amazing sex didn’t hurt at all.
“If there’s any other reason, then I’ll let it go,” he added. “If you don’t want me like this, if you have someone else, anything, I won’t say another word about it.” He sucked in a deep breath. “But if you keep pushing me away because of your job, I’m afraid I can’t let you go.”
