Her Return, His Regret 176 What we are
***~~Jenaya~~***Once inside, I spin.Extending the document.“My boss asked me to deliver this to you,” I blurt out, trying to avert my eyes from him.He doesn't answer at first. He just walks over to the mini bar.I watch him, my chest rising and falling.Just breathe, Jenaya.All you have to do is drop this off and just leave. He poured us a drink, and turn back to me.But just as he extends the glass, I did same with the file. His eyes lingers on me.“Just have a drink.” he mused, his tone calm. Just the sound of his voice makes me almost forget what I should say.No.It's ridiculous how easily he gets to me with a single syllable.I shake my head. “I'd rather you go through this, so I can leave.”He laughs. Deep. A sound that coils into my stomach and makes my pulse skip.“I will, Kitten. But you won't stare while I do that, will you?” he says, lifting the glass. “It's just a drink.”And just like that, I cave.I take the glass but I don't sit. I gesture to the file, just so h
Her Return, His Regret 175 Haunted by him
***~~Meghan~~***The car pulls to a stop in front of my apartment.And only then did I peel my eyes off the window.Hunter's eyes are on me. I slide my bag chain to my shoulder and turn to him.“Thank you,” I mutter, before my hand reach for the door.But my bag slips and fall.I pick it up back fast, step out, shut the door and spin.I take a deep breath and begin the slow walk to the front door, painfully aware that Hunter's car hasn't moved.But then, something else catches my attention, or rather someone.I stare straight ahead.Jerome.He's leaning against his car, his eyes pinned on me.I squint. “Je— Jerome?” I stretch his name, caught off guard.Jerome is that co-worker who likes to be in my space. He likes me. Everyone knows that. I know that.But it was easier to pretend I didn't know.It was way better than having to deal with the awkwardness of turning him down.And he's been very obvious about it after my breakup.His eyes darts at me, behind me, then back to me. A fain
Her Return, His Regret 174 Craving the bad man
***~~Jenaya~~***My alarm beeps and I slam it shut, tossing with a grunt.I had forgotten to turn the damn device off.I'm off work for the next three days.Delilah had traveled to LA for Deloitte. Which practically means I have the next three days to myself.I have plans already mapped out for today.Make breakfast. I honestly can't remember the last time I cooked.A day out with Snow.Make a quick stop at the office.Stop by the bookstore on my way back to grab some books.Call Rome.I throw the covers aside and climb out of bed, heading downstairs to get started with the number one thing on my list.Make breakfast.A few moments later, I plated my bacon, scrambled eggs and a cup of juice and ease down into the chair to have them.I munch on it, groaning in delight. My phone dings with a text. I reach for it.It's Snow.‘Can we hang out in the evening? Jordan came over,”I heave, and type back.‘what time?’‘Not sure. I'll let you know’I drop my phone back down and dig into my f
Her Return, His Regret 173 Payback
***~~Hunter~~***I'm about leaving the office after a hectic day that has me reviewing reports.Iris has left.And I'm certain everyone else might've left as well.It's past 8PM. I step out of my office but pause when I saw the light in Meghan's office.She was still at the office.I stalled across the corridor. I should leave, walk away because her being in the office at this time has nothing to do with me.But that small voice in my head keeps chastising me.I did set her up for overwork. I knew those folders were going to take the entire day to sort out, yet I asked Iris to take it to her.My eyes drifts to her door.This was supposed to be a payback. My own way of getting back at her.All my life, no one has ever raised their hands on me. Not even my dad.But that day, she did and I stood there, unable to speak.That incident stayed in my head for over a week. I couldn't get it out of my mind.Freya has been going on about wanting to do this project with Steele's group. I wasn't
Her Return, His Regret 172 A man as cold as he is
***~~Meghan~~***It was work over and time to go home.But I didn't.I needed to work extra time to ease off my workload. Because apparently Hunter has decided that it was the perfect way to get back at me.Two hours after I left his office, angry but bottling it all up. Iris walked into mine with pile of folders to be sorted out.Investors profile who are already willing to invest in the project.That's how much influence Steele's group has. I guess he wasn't bluffing when he said Nexora needed them.The building is quiet as I step out to get what seems like my fifth cup of coffee.Every muscle protests with each step. My back throbs, my shoulders stiff, even turning my neck sends a dull ache down my spine.But I'm stubborn about finishing up.I've got just a few folders left.With a tired sigh, I slid a mug beneath the coffee machine, pressing the brew button.Behind me a security guard says. “Miss Smith, you're still here?”I turn. “Yes. Please I need about thirty minutes and I'll
Her Return, His Regret 171 Two worlds apart
***~~Knox~~***My car key is on the table. I reach for it heading downstairs.Marcus had called, someone broke into the warehouse last night and was caught.I'm not sure how hard he's been beaten but they wanted me there before they do away with him.And I have an urgent meeting with a client.“Breakfast is ready sir.” Keiko says as I descend the stairs.My eyes moves to the dining table and it feels a bit weird, the plate sitting on the large dining space with just me eating there alone every single day.Not like it's a damn problem but sometimes I just don't feel like it at all.My life has been one hell of a lonely script.Business. The club. The warehouse. Then the office.It's like a scripted pattern. No excitement at all.Until Naya came along.I was struck on first sight.She doesn't know it yet, but she's like an antidote to me.I usually never anticipate anything but with her it's different. The rough edge in me smooths like it's been trained to respond only to her.Exhaling
