Semua Bab Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch: Bab 741 - Bab 750

Patrick's POVHow wonderful was this feeling that Lexie awakened in me! And it was marvelous to stop swimming against the current, to accept that I loved her and be able to tell her so. I had never experienced anything like this before, no feeling so strong, so definitive, that nothing could change. And she had made it clear long ago what she felt for me - I was loved back with the same intensity, and she had never been afraid to say she loved me.Love! Now I said I loved her with such certainty, because I knew these weren't words spoken carelessly or in the heat of emotion, not even at the peak of a fleeting, passing infatuation. It was love, the kind that comes, arrives without warning, terrifies you with its magnitude, but never leaves again.I pulled Lexie back into the room and only stepped away from her briefly, just to close the door and curtains. Then I led her to the armchair and sat there with her."For you!" I pulled the gift box closer to her. "Actually, it's for us!""And

Patrick's POVI woke up with the certainty that happiness was a beautiful girl with long black hair and bright eyes who knew how to pole dance. I was living in my slice of paradise, and it was better than I'd ever imagined.My girlfriend was clinging to me, her head on my chest and her hand on my abdomen. I wanted to wake her with kisses, but at the same time, I wanted to let her sleep since I'd been quite demanding. Yet I couldn't stop kissing her - I felt a desire consuming me like fire. Not that it had passed; I felt this fire burning inside me for Lexie all the time. But I'd let her sleep. She needed rest.The room was completely dark, the curtains still closed. I had no idea what time it was, but I didn't care to know either. I snuggled closer to my beautiful girlfriend and closed my eyes, replaying every moment from the night before in my head, especially when she flew on that pole. It was beyond beautiful.It wasn't long after I woke up that Lexie stirred, and I felt her hand sl

Lexie's POVI was watching those two women step out of the elevator as if they'd been invited. Neither of them had any shame, especially that Tess woman. They showed up here like they'd never left."Hi, everyone!" Virginia flashed a smile and greeted everyone."What are you two doing here?" Rick's voice was deep, without any trace of humor or that lightness he always had."We need to talk, Rick!" That Tess really had some nerve."Talk?" Rick snorted. "When I wanted to talk, you didn't want to, Tess, so now you can talk to my lawyer. I have nothing to say to you."Virginia was staring at Patrick with his arm around me, with such a disgusted look that it made me uncomfortable. And when she spoke, she completely ignored me."Patrick, I'd like to speak with you." She approached Patrick, who kept his arm around my waist."I have nothing to say to you, Virginia. The time for talking has passed. What was said was said, and what wasn't no longer matters. So you'd better go back where you came

Lexie's POVWith each passing day I spent with Patrick, I felt happier and more certain that he was becoming mine. But after last night, with all the surprises he'd prepared for me and everything he'd said, I was absolutely sure I would face the world for him. And I was dead certain that no woman would take him away from me."Manu, want to grab some coffee at the bakery? I'm craving something really sweet," I called out to Manu."Mmm, let's go. I'm feeling that craving too," she laughed.We left the office and crossed the street, settling at a table before placing our order. While waiting for our coffee, I told Manu about Patrick's surprise and all the beautiful things he'd said to me."Manu, you're right - Mel really knows her stuff. She's incredible!" I commented, and Manu smiled."She really is. You know, I've been wanting to do something nice for her. Mel has helped me so much!""She really gave you a boost with my brother, didn't she?""Yeah, she did." Manu sighed."Let's think of

Rick's POVSince Tess left, I'd been trying to pick myself up. I'd adored her since college. I still remember the first time I saw her, during a break between classes. I was talking to a professor who had just finished teaching—I'd turned in a paper and he was pleased with my work.Tess burst into the room and, completely ignoring me, started trying to persuade the professor to give her two extra points so she wouldn't fail his course. She used every argument a student typically tries, and she wasn't giving up. I found her so beautiful and persistent that while watching her talk to the professor and completely ignore me, I ended up raising my voice and telling the professor he could take two points from me and give them to her. The professor thought it was a joke, but seeing my interest in the girl, he decided to help me out. He gave her two points, took two from me, and told her she should thank me for not failing the class. Only then did she look at me and see me there. After that, w
