sex-me boss.

Emerging gradually from her sleep, Maggie couldn’t remember going home, or at least she couldn’t remember anything at all. She remembered celebrating New Year’s Eve with Olivia and at home, so she concluded that she was in the guest room, even though it didn’t look at all like the one Olivia had given her when she’d first arrived. it was still very big and spacious to be a guest room, but as long as she hadn’t been kidnapped, that was more important. she closed her eyes again, feeling tired and imagining the hangover she’d had.

some time later, she felt soft kisses all over her face. she didn’t think Olivia had a dog, and no, a dog couldn’t be that precise when it came to kisses, more like licks, yes. she opened her eyes as the scent of that unique perfume wafted to her head. it belonged only to James indeed, standing over her with a smile that made her cringe. She could have melted on the spot, but she wanted to know what he was doing there, in her room, when he could have taken another than the one that was hers. when she wanted to leave the bed, James held her back firmly, trapping his hands above her head. she was far from enjoying herself.

-What are you doing in my room? You could have found yourself another room, and besides, there are several here… I’m not your wife, so…

-not this early in the morning. i didn’t know that even after a night of begging for my body, a night during which you snuggled up to me, you’d still be such a pain in the ass when you woke up. being a pain in the ass is your specialty, my dear Maggie Soyer. as for the room question, you’re in my room, so in reality, you’re the one who should be leaving.

-I don’t think Damon decided to put your name on a room in his house, so I think I was the first one in that room, because I’d never have come to find you if I’d still had my wits about me.

-As you can see, this isn’t Damon’s house, it’s mine and my room. Your breakfast is ready, I’m going to take a shower and be nice just for the morning.

He didn’t give her time to answer and went into the bathroom. She couldn’t remember anything, least of all how she’d ended up at this man’s. She’d never come of her own free will and when she tried to remember, she’d tried to get drunk to forget him, she’d met another man who’d asked her to be his girlfriend and she’d accepted, but she couldn’t remember who it was. she didn’t even know his name. when she looked at the coffee table in the bedroom, she saw a tray complete with a tablet and a glass of water. he’d thought of everything then, but his primary concern wasn’t what she was going to eat, she had a lot of things to figure out and she couldn’t take it anymore.

James was thinking about the woman across the room, this young woman who haunted him even during the day. He would have invited her to take that bath with him, but he didn’t even know if she remembered everything that had happened the day before. He was afraid she was thinking dark thoughts about him, and it was a good thing that very early in the morning Olivia had sent him a video of the scene, his proposal and all, not forgetting where he’d called himself a fool. when he heard a knock on the bathroom door, he frowned. he was naked and wondered who was on the other end of it.

-James, are you listening to me or not? I’ve been knocking for a while now.

-Do you want to take a bath with me, you devil?

-I’d rather die, yes, but I’ve got things to ask you and believe me I can’t wait, so please get out of here and continue your bath later. I promise it won’t take long, just a few minutes.

-do you want me to come out naked or dressed because, as you can see, I haven’t finished my bath.

-James I told you, I want to know what happened yesterday and if you don’t come out, I’m going to break down that door or call the police and let them know I’ve been kidnapped. I’m going to count and if in two minutes you’re not out I’m going to notify the authorities.

This girl was capable of anything, and he knew she was going to call the police, so it was up to him to stop her. he wrapped a towel around her heel and opened the door. when Maggie looked at him, she flushed with her mouth half open. She was flushed and James was happy to see her like this. He moved even closer to her and grabbed her waist. she instinctively put her hands on his bare chest. James placed his lips on hers without ever kissing her, which made her sigh.

-What are you doing?” asked Maggie in a small voice.

-I’m looking at you, my beautiful little devil. So even if I’d gone out naked, it wouldn’t have had any effect on you;

Maggie Syer wasn’t one to lose, so she slipped away and moved to a safe distance from him. she had to regain her composure not to let him win.

-You came yesterday, you didn’t kiss me and I know you’re not the man I fell in love with, I got the wrong idea and well, I realize I was the fool and apart from that, a man asked me to be his girlfriend. do you know who it was then?

James had remained focused on one thing, the fact that she had just unknowingly confessed that she was in love with him. He’d never expected anything better, and he was so happy to hear it. He knew that he felt the same way about her, and since she’d just confessed her feelings, there was no barrier preventing him from diving in completely.

-James, I’ve just asked you a question, do you know…

-I told you yesterday but you were so drunk I didn’t think you were listening so I’m going to take this opportunity to tell you now, I’m in love with you and I hope I can change my old ways so I can be the man you want me to be.

He was so serious and that warmed Maggie’s heart but it didn’t explain why he hadn’t kissed her the day before like she’d wanted. If she’d already accepted someone else’s proposal then she couldn’t accept James’s, it was just hard since she was in a relationship even if she didn’t know with whom. she’d dreamed so much of the moment when he’d tell her he loved her and now it had happened but she didn’t know what was still blocking her.

-James, I…

-you don’t have to say anything, she-devil, because in any case you said yes to me yesterday and I assure you I was the happiest man alive.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

then it was him, Maggie couldn’t believe it. a mocking laugh escaped her lips. she couldn’t remember everything exactly, but she hadn’t forgotten the fact that she’d called him a fool and something else she couldn’t even remember. she looked at him again and saw that he had a rather cute face, faking her ignorance.

-If I’ve got amnesia, then why did I forget just that part?

James knew she was doing this on purpose to annoy him, but he wasn’t going to let her win, so he played the video Olivia had sent him, the one she’d filmed while Maggie cursed him, thinking she was facing someone else.

-You wanted to show this James that you could ink another man.

she lowered her head. she’d done enough as it was, and it was time she realized she should take everything seriously. he’d done enough for her to show her he was willing to make an effort for her, and it was time she stopped being so reticent. she moved towards him and took his hands in hers while looking him straight in the eye, which the man didn’t understand at all.

-I know you’ll never believe it’s me saying this because I have more courage when I’m dependent on alcohol. I know I’ve played the difficult girl for a long time and despite that you persisted because you didn’t just want to play with me but you wanted me more seriously and I’m ready to make efforts for our couple because even if I didn’t want to, my heart dictates that because it only beats for you James. i’m happy to be the woman you’ll cherish and love more sincerely. i love you James, my best rival.

I love you too, she-devil, and very much.

followed by a fiery, languorous kiss to seal their love, full of future promise, and they headed for the bathroom. A bath that would end in something else and that Maggie was so looking forward to.
