Harpers hands moved down to work on the buckle of Oliver’s belt, while she muttered, “I am ready.” A low, guttural sound rumbled in his chest as her fingers worked at his belt buckle. His hips bucked involuntarily against her touch, the promise of release making his entire body tense with anticipation. “Yes,” he breathed out harshly, abandoning her breasts to grip her waist tightly. “Get them off. I need to feel you against me without anything in between.&r

    “The Love Self Esteem Project,” Oliver repeats, testing the words. “It is a bold move. It would certainly differentiate us from the usual high-glamour, retouch heavy campaigns our competitors are running.” He taps his fingers rhythmically against the countertop, a habit he falls into when he is processing a new strategy. “It would require a completely overhaul of our visual direction. We would need to move away from perfectionism and focus on authenticity. That means no heavy airbrushing, real skin textures, diverse casting– the whole works.” He looks at Harper, his eyes sharp with interest. “It is a significant pivot for our brand identity. It would be a massive undertaking, but the PR benefits could be enormous of we execute it correctly.”“And it could significantly decrease the spending,” Harper added confidently. Oliver’s eyebrows shoot up, and he leans forward, his interest piqued by the financial a

    “I was making you breakfast. Eggs and toast? Or do you want something heavier? You look like you could use a large cup of coffee,” Oliver tilts his head, studying Harper’s face to gauge how much energy she actually has this morning. “I slept amazingly,” she said and leans up to kiss him lightly on the lips. “Coffee sounds amazing. So does your breakfast idea.” His smile widens at her kiss, his hands lingering on her waist for a moment longer than necessary before he releases her. “Coming right up,” he says, turning back to the counter with renewed purpose. He moves with practiced efficiency, cracking eggs into a bowl with one hand while the other reaches for two mugs. He pours the coffee, the rich aroma filling the small space, and sets the mugs down on the island near where she is leaning. “Sit. I will bring it over,” he commands gently, nodding toward the bar stools. “I am going to get dressed really quick,&rd

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 109: Coming Home

    Marius continued into his modern kitchen at the back, where a long dark kitchen island accompanied by several wooden bar stools with black metal lags, separated the living room from the kitchen. Above the island hung three pendant lights with simple elegant fixtures. He opened one of the white cabinetries lining the kitchen wall and took a glass out. Then he moved over to the fridge and poured himself some soda. He moved through his house like ghost. When he entered his bedroom, he did not bother changing out of his dress shirt, simply unbuttoning the top few buttons and pulling his phone from his pocket. He walked over to his bed as he looked to see if her had any messages or emails. The bed was unmade, with soft grey bedding and several pillows loosely arranged across the mattress. Large black metal window frames dominate the right side of the room and heavy dark grey curtains hang from ceiling-mounted tracks.A light grey area rug extends beneath the bed and along the left

    “Oh fuck,” Marius gasped out, his free hand slamming against the tile will for support. “Just like that– take me deeper.” His other hand guided Isabella’s head with increasing urgency, guiding her movement to match the rhythm he craved. The combination of her skilled mouth and the warm water cascading down his chest sent waves of pleasure crashing through him. “You are going to make me cum so fast if you keep going like that,” he warned through gritted teeth. “I want to feel you swallow every drop.” The steam swirled thicker around them as he struggled to maintain control, his body already tensing with the approaching climax. His body went rigid as his orgasm hit him with full force, his fingers tightening in her hair as he poured himself down her throat. A deep groan escaped his lips while the water continued to stream over them both. “Swallow it all,” he commanded roughly, his hips thrusting forward one last t

    “Come on,” Marius said softly, helping Isabella stand on shaky legs. “Let’s get you cleaned up. You have earned a proper bath after all that.” His hands found hers naturally as he led her toward the suite’s opulent bathroom. The marble floor gleamed underfoot while soft lighting cast a warm glow across the spacious room. “Unless you would prefer a shower?” he offered with a teasing grin. “A quick shower would be better,” she said casually. They go into the spacious, modern bathroom. The room was designed with a clean, minimalist aesthetic and a soft neutral colour palette. The room was large and open, with light cream coloured floor tiles and the walls are painted in warm, muted tones. There is a smooth, curved white bathtub on the right side of the room, positioned near a large window which is dressed in taupe curtains that are partially open.Next to the bathtub sits a compact, rounded, modern toilet. Against the b

    “Look at you taking my cock so perfectly,” Marius panted against Isabella’s shoulder, his voice thick with arousal. “You were made for this– to be bent over and fucked hard until you can’t think straight.” His hands slip up to grip her breasts roughly, squeezing the soft flesh while his hips continued their punishing rhythm. The suite’s opulent décor became a distant memory as pure carnal instinct took over. “I am going to fill this perfect pussy until it is dripping down her thighs,” Marius promised darkly. “You are going to feel me for days after this.” Isabella’s moans grew louder, her body trembling with the force of his assault. She climaxes again, her body shaking and she struggles to keep upright. Her breath is ragged, sweat covers her body. “The chair,” she mutters. “I want to ride you.”Marius’s yellow green eyes flashed with renewed excitement at Isabel

    Across the office, Harper’s typing slowed considerably as she watched the exchange unfold. Her professional façade remained intact, but there was undeniable curiosity in her blue green eyes as Marius worked to smoothing things over with Tera. He released Tera’s wrist and cupped

    “Plans?” Marius repeated, raising an eyebrow. “More important than a multimillion-dollar campaign launch? Because that is what this project represents for both our departments.” He stopped directly in front of Harper, forcing her to tilt her head up to meet his gaze. His v

    Around 4 pm, Knox stepped off the elevator wearing a suit and a brown leather jacket, his sharp Scottish accent cutting through the hallway noise. “Harper, lass! Good to see ye.” He clapped his hands together, his green eyes canning her form appreciatively. “Ye look as bonnie as

    “Sounds good,” Harper says and checks her phone. “I should be heading back. Lunch time is almost over.” Oliver nods reluctantly, his expressions shifting back to professional neutrality as reality intrudes on their private moment. “Right. Back to pretending we are ju
