RENT A HEART

CHRISTOPHER's POV

WARNING!!!! READERS DISCRETION IS ADVICED. EXPLICIT SEX SCENE AHEAD. ;)

The scent of her, a mix of vanilla and something uniquely Eve, filled my senses as our lips met yet again, a hesitant touch that quickly deepened into a hungry exploration.

The carefully constructed walls I'd built around myself, seemed to crumble with each passing second. It was as if I had been holding my breath for so long, and finally, I could let myself breathe again.

I let her roam her hands all over my body, eager to feel her touch, to feel her skin against mine. The world narrowed to just the two of us, our breaths mingling in the charged air. I pulled back slightly, needing to see her face, to reassure myself that this wasn't a dream. Her eyes were dark, pupils dilated with a desire that mirrored my own.

"Eve," I whispered, my voice thick with emotion, "are you sure?"

Her answer was not a word, but a soft sigh that sent a shiver through me. Her hands came up to cup my face, drawing me closer, and as our lips met again, all doubts vanished. It was no longer a question of whether we should, but a desperate need for more. I felt her heart beating against mine, the wild rhythm a tangible thing that propelled me further.

My hands explored her body, slipping beneath the soft fabric of her loose nightie. I traced the gentle curves of her breasts, my thumbs brushing against her taut nipples, eliciting soft moans that resonated in my mouth as she arched her back against my skin.

With urgency, I removed her blouse, revealing her stunning breasts—a perfect sight that took my breath away. "You're beautiful," I whispered, savoring the moment and letting my hand caress one breast while my mouth found the other. The moan she released sent waves of desire coursing through me.

As my desire intensified, I felt my member swell beneath my briefs, but I was determined to give her the pleasure she deserved first. I wanted to satisfy her completely before taking her to heights unknown.

I traced kisses down her body, pausing at the sensitive skin just below her waist and between her thighs. I felt her shiver as my tongue ventured into her most intimate places, igniting a fire deep within me. My movements plunged deeper, and she began to tremble as she neared her first climax of the morning.

Her hands were everywhere—tugging at my hair, pulling my shoulders, pleading for more.

"Please, Chris, I need you… please," she cried out softly.

I drew her closer, kissing her deeply while my hands found her waist, positioning myself to enter her. "Are you ready?" I asked, and she nodded fervently in response.

Before I had time to think, I gently entered her. I heard her wince slightly, but I continued when I sensed she was okay. As I finally sank fully inside her, I began to move slowly, feeling her warmth enveloping me, before gradually increasing my pace.

I felt the tension build within her, the muscles of her cervix tightening around me, urging me to go faster. It was only a matter of moments before we both reached our climax, a symphony of shared pleasure that took us over the edge together.

The world outside the room faded away, replaced by a sensory world of touch, taste, and the unspoken promise of more to come. We were two people giving in to desire, a force that was far more powerful than any contract, a force that made us lose control and gave us exactly what we were longing for. I knew what was going to come next, and I was not about to stop.

I fluttered my eyes open, greeted by a ray of sunlight reflecting on my face. I used my arm to shield my eyes and looked around, only to find that I was alone in the bed.

"Eve?" I called out, but there was no response. I looked at the clock, and it was past eight am. I couldn't believe I'd slept in so late.

Coming out of bed, I saw my clothes folded and kept neatly on the sofa, along with my phone, car keys, and a piece of paper beside them.

"Hi Chris, good morning. I already left for a business trip out of the country that will last for a week. I'll get back to you when I come back," the message on the paper read.

I looked at the back of the paper to see if she had written anything else, but it was blank. There was no mention of us or how her night was; it was devoid of emotion and something a boss would write to her staff.

I felt an unease wash over me, as though something was off, and I couldn't shake it off. I took my phone and dialed her number, but it wasn't connecting at all. I set it aside and went to shower, hoping it was just a temporary issue.

It took me a minute to locate her bathroom, but afterwards, I finished up quickly and got ready to go.

"I simply cannot understand why Eve left for a business trip so early in the morning, leaving Chris behind," I heard Eve's mum complain as the butler led me towards the garden for the morning breakfast.

"She often times forgets she's the boss of an empire and not a subordinate... some of these unnecessary trips and meetings should be delegated to her vice or some other subordinates," she stated, her annoyance palpable.

"I think that's what makes her unique," I chimed in from behind, causing everyone seated to stare at me.

"She's a very hands-on boss that wants perfection in everything. She's just like me. And besides, her fashion show is barely a few weeks away, and she needs to prepare well, like she always does," I stated as I sat down, trying to sound convincing, even to myself.

"Ooooh, Eve found herself a gem," one of the twins said, grinning mischievously. "What a man," the other chimed in, winking at me.

"Even at that, she shouldn't have left a guest she came with alone for some business trip, let alone her boyfriend," Her mum said, shaking her head.

"Anyhow, I hope you had a great night, my dear," she asked, giving me one of the brightest smiles I'd ever seen.

At the mention of "night," my mind went back to the mind-blowing night I had with Eve, and the thought alone made my heart flutter and a blush creep onto my face.

"Yes, ma'am, it was beautiful," I said, trying to keep my voice steady, while Frederick, who hadn't left yet, stared daggers at me from where he sat, his expression unreadable.

The breakfast was quick, so I was soon getting ready to take my leave.

"Come again soon, dear," the matriarch of the Mickelsons said, patting my hand as I bade my goodbyes to everyone.

As soon as I entered my car, I dialed Eve's number again, and it still wasn't connecting.

I had made up my mind last night that I would rip up the contract and properly ask her out, as I didn't think I could live without her in my life.

I called her office line and was told she had left the country that morning. I sighed heavily as I drove off to my office, a deep ache settling in my chest. I already missed her terribly.
