"R... Roan..." She gulped a dry lump in her throat as she felt her face heating up under his intense gaze.
She had almost forgotten all about her sinful experience with him, all thanks to Ashton. As she stood before him, memories of waking up beside him came flooding in, making her heart pump a little faster. She could swear he heard her heart beating.
Although she couldn't recall all that had happened that night, but she knew it was intense, as she felt sore all over her body, including down there.
"Running late?" Roan's sinful voice broke her out of her reverie, and she almost died with embarrassment at the way she stared at him lustfully.
"I'm sorry," She said as she quickly bent down to pick up the papers scattered all over the floor with trembling hands.
Roan bent down to meet her, helping her gather them up, "I should have watched where I was going," he said, almost as if he was doing all that intentionally... Seducing her.
His voice was enough to make any woman drool... We don't even want to talk about his looks. Any woman would kill to be with this man... But not Natalie. She was a woman who was faithful to the core. She had never for once cheated, and she wasn't going to start now.
"Thank you," She said quickly as she made to leave, but his strong hand held her back.
"Natalie..." He called in the most seductive way ever. Her name sounded like a mix of winter breeze with a touch of dew coming from him to her own ears.
"Roan," she called out firmly, brushing off every dirty image and emotion his presence was making her have, "Nothing happened between us last night. It was all a mistake. I was drunk, and I mistook you for my husband. It never happened," She said, her Hazel eyes locked with his ocean-blue eyes as she uttered those words.
Her words stirred something within Roan but he kept his cool, letting go of her wrist.
Natalie walked away without sparing him another glance.
"Natalie?" He called her, but she didn't respond as she descended the stairs, heading for the exit.
Roan looked at the papers in his hands, a devilish grin tugging the side of his lips. He walked back into his room.
He sat on his bed, frustration, and longing to overwhelm him. He couldn't seem to get her naked frame off his mind. Damn! That body!
He wondered why she never flaunted what her mama gave to her. She was always too modestly dressed, just like this morning.
And even her modest dresses still couldn't hide her sinful curves. Those curves could make any man lose his senses.
Roan wondered why his brother decided to be such a fool. He had such an asset and decided to be a fool?
If Natalie belonged to him, he'd never cheat on her nor do anything that'd hurt her. 'Ashton doesn't know what he has... Someone else has to show him how to value a woman like Natalie,' He thought to himself.

"Tiana! I don't know what to do!" Natalie paced her office nervously as she spoke to the one person she had in the world who would never judge her.
"Come on, Natalie. You have to calm down, and let's have a meaningful conversation about this," Tiana, twenty-three, has been Natalie's childhood best friend. They've been inseparable, and there was Nothing about each other they didn't know about.
"Okay... I'm calm, Tia," Natalie said, sitting at the edge of her huge mahogany table where she had tons of work scattered around, waiting for her attention, but she ignored every one of them.
"I am happy you told him to forget about all of it. It never happened. You were drunk, and that was it. Okay?" Tiana said, holding her friend's trembling hands.
"What if Ashton finds out?"
"Do you plan on telling him?" Tiana asked with furrowed brows, making Natalie shake her head vigorously, "Then you have nothing to worry about, babe."
"And as for your husband, just give him time. You are not the problem, okay? If he had a problem with something, I think he should come up straight and tell you about it. Else, how would you know?" Tiana was a little bit displeased with Ashton's words to her friend, and she was going to talk to him about it.
"I really wish he'd talk to me. I am willing to do anything to make things work, Tia..." Her eyes glistened with unshed tears, but Tiana stopped her from crying.
"I'll go talk to him while you have your meeting, okay? I'll see if I can get him to talk," Tiana said with an assuring smile, "meanwhile, let's get you prepared for your meeting. Are all your documents ready?" She said, walking over to the other side of the table to help her put things in order.
"Yes. The meeting is not until another two hours. I can put them together later. Just go to Ashton already," Natalie's pleading eyes scanned around the table to ensure everything was ready for the meeting.
"Oh, my God..." She murmured, searching frantically for the contract agreement the clients were meant to sign at the meeting, "Where are the contracts?" She mumbled, still searching the entire table.
"Are you certain you brought them in?" Tiana asked, checking the drawers too.
Immediately, realization hit her... She must have missed them while gathering them from the floor after she bumped into Roan... The thought of him sent a shiver through her body, making her heart skip a beat. But she brushed it off.
"I... I must have left them in the house," Natalie said to Tiana, "I'll go get them immediately," she hurriedly picked up her car keys and phone.
"Are you sure? I can come with you," Tiana offered, worry lacing her tone.
"Don't worry, Tia. He goes out every morning. He's on a business trip here, remember? I am safe," she said with a genuine smile as she walked toward the door, "Just get to Ashton, please. I am desperate to know what he'd say."
"Alright. I'll be on my way now," Tiana said with a reassuring smile as her friend hurried out of the office.

The black Sedan car came to a stop in front of the massive building with a bold inscription, V & A HOLDINGS.
The not-so-tall lady in a white gown that stood very much above knee-length made her way into the building. Her short, sleek blonde hair, perfectly cut into a bob with a side patting, made her way straight to the reception.
She looked around, but there was no one at the reception. Knowing her way around the building, she wasted no time waiting for the receptionist as she strolled into the elevator, her perfectly manicured fingers clicking on the buttons.
The elevator dinged, announcing her arrival on the seventh floor of the building. She stepped out, her red heels making slight click sounds on the shiny floor as she made her way straight to the CEO's office.
She stood in front of the office, which was almost alone in the vast corridor. The seventh floor was for the CEO, his secretary, and a few other persons, and their offices were so far apart that you might even murder someone in his office, and no one would hear a sound.
Just as she was about to knock on the door, she overheard some muffled sounds coming from the office.
She paused to listen carefully. She felt her heart drop when she heard the sounds clearly. It was the sound of a woman's moans of ecstasy, followed by the loud grunts of a man who was obviously on cloud nine. The sounds of wet skin slapping against each other gave her a clearer picture of what was happening.
She instinctively pushed the door slowly, peeping into the big office space. She let out a small gasp at the sight before her.
It was Ashton... Her best friend's husband lustfully banging another woman on his office table.
Tiana felt her stomach churn, and she felt a hot rush of bile rise in her throat. 'Was this the same man who was too busy to even f**k his own wife?' She thought as hot tears gathered in her eyes.
They were so engrossed in their forbidden act that they didn't notice her presence. Ashton kept moaning like an animal who had been starved of s*x for years.
The woman's face was not so visible to her, but she could swear she had seen that face before.
Tiana brought out her phone and quickly took a video of the beast in his beastly form. It was going to serve as evidence.
"Oh, fuck... I can kill to make you all mine," he said as he pounded into her hungrily.
"Then why are you still with her?" The woman asked as she moaned his name loudly.
"She is nothing to me, and you know that," he reached for her neck and grabbed it, making her look into his eyes, "You are so hot and sexy. She is so timid that she doesn't even turn me on." He said as he plunged harder into her, kissing her neck so sensually.
"I love you, Ashton," The lady's sensual voice said almost breathlessly, their moans getting louder as they were both approaching their climax.
Tiana gasped, quietly closing the door, but she was careless enough to make a sound that she regretted instantly.
"Who is there?" Ashton's husky voice asked as he quickly strode toward the door.
