Alex

Harry felt so good underneath. Hell I don't know how I was able to stop. Shit, I'm still reeling from that kiss. The way she responded to me, it was so hot. The sounds she was making. The way she was trembling from my touch. The way she felt underneath me. It was unlike anything I've ever felt before. No one has ever affected me the way Harry does. She could get me hard with just one look, one kiss, one touch.

I know it was happening too fast for Harry. I want her willing and ready. If I have to romance her, then so be it. If being with her feels anything like what I just felt having her respond to my kisses, then taking my time seducing her will be well worth it in the end.

During our dinner, all I could think about was how it would feel like to finally be inside her. I didn't even eat much. I had a bad case of blue balls. Now I'm in the shower trying to take care of it.

Fuck. I'm so pathetic. I could get any girl I want. But all I want right now is Harry. I thought to myself.

I've been with a lot of women and none of them has ever made me feel the way that Harry does. Not even Larissa, who I thought I was in love with and wanted to marry, could make me lose control the way that Harry can. I met Larissa at a charity event. She was beautiful and I admit, I was extremely attracted to her. Needless to say, she returned my feelings. We exchanged numbers and I called her the following day to ask her if she would like to accompany me to another charity event. We began dating after that. After one year of being together, I decided to propose to her and she said yes. I thought things were going great for the both of us, until I walked in on her in bed with my accountant. I was not hurt, I was angry. That's when I realized that I never loved her. I cared for her, but I didn't love her. She said she knew that, that's why she cheated. She knew I didn't love her and that she was convenient that's why I asked her to marry. She was right. I got comfortable. I was with her before I made my billions. I was just starting to build my company and I was just starting to make money when we started dating. One year later, Harrington enterprises became a global leader in communications technologies. I figured that proposing to her is the next step. I had everything. I had money, power, and a girlfriend. I was blindsided by her betrayal. She begged me to forgive her, but I could never forgive what she did to me. She betrayed me in the worst way possible and I have no room for a cheating whore. After that, I swore never to fall in love again. Why complicate matters and get into a relationship when I can get any woman I want, anytime I want. No complications, no strings attached. But Harry is different. She's not like all those women I've been with. I plan on making her my mistress for a long time. I can give anything and everything she wants, as long as we are clear on one thing: I don't do love.

Harry

That lying bastard, I thought to myself, while I'm standing in the middle of the second bedroom I've come across. He left me in his bedroom, while he made some calls in his office. I just couldn't believe that this penthouse only has two bedrooms considering how massive it is. Therefore, I decided to look around and that's how I discovered the other two bedrooms. If he thinks that we're going to be sharing a room together, he's got another thing coming.

Since this is the farthest room from his, I decided to sleep in this room. All the rooms has its own bathroom, which I thought was nice. All the rooms were spacious; a little dull maybe, but nevertheless, they are big and have amazing views. I walk towards the window and I look down, and I am beyond happy to finally be in the city of love. Everything just seemed so magical around here and I can't wait to explore a little, well if time permits. I turn to look at the clock, and I groan, crap it's past midnight and Alex said we had an early morning tomorrow...well in this case later. I smile to myself.

Where is he, he hasn't discovered that I was not in his room, so I guess he's still working. I decide to lock the room incase he tries to come inside my room.

After locking the door, I walk to the bed and I crawl under the covers. I'm exhausted and boy oh boy, this bed feels amazing, I sigh, and before I know it I was fast asleep.

Alex

Damn it, where is she? My bed is untouched and there is no evidence she was even here. Oh, fuck she's discovered the other rooms.

I walk toward the bedroom down the hall and she is not there. Finally, I walk to the bedroom furthest from mine. I knock, there is no answer. I turn the knob to find it locked. I chuckle, smart girl, but not so clever since this is my home and I happen to have the keys to open every room in this apartment. I walk back to my office to grab my set of keys, with a smile on my face.

I walk back into the second guest room. I turn the key to unlock the door and I slowly open the door. The light in the hall illuminates the room, then her face. She's tucked under the covers, sleeping peacefully. I walk towards her, she should be in my bed, I thought to myself. Stubborn woman, I slowly lift the covers off of her, I put my arms under her and carry her off the bed, she sighs and she puts her arms around my neck. I carry her back to my bedroom. I gently place her on my bed and tuck her under the covers. I walk over to the other side and climb into bed. Ry moves closer to me and she rests her head on my chest while hugging me. I put my arms around her and I can't help but feel content and happy. It feels good to have her in my arms. I kiss her head and inhale her scent. She smells of fruits, it must be her shampoo. I hug her closer to me, and I immediately fall asleep with Harry in my arms.

Harry

I wake up wrapped in a tight embrace. No, I must be dreaming. I open my eyes and I look up to find Alex fast asleep beside me. I quickly untangle myself from him, waking him up in the process. He looked startled. I glare at him.

"You, how could you! First you lie to me about having just one room and then you sneak into my bedroom to carry me into your room," I accuse him. "How did you even get in, I locked the room?"

He had the nerve to laugh at me!

"This is my apartment sweetheart, obviously I have the keys to every room in this place," he said, while smirking at me.

I grab a pillow close to me and I toss it at him. He was quick to dodge the pillow.

"Oh come on sweetheart, you enjoyed being wrapped in my arms, while you were sleeping."

"I hate you, you had no right. I was sleeping peacefully in my room, thank you very much."

He slowly got out of bed. Now he's walking towards me with a smug look on his face.

"I rather enjoyed sleeping with you in my arms, in fact I love it so much, that I want you sleeping beside me every night."

"Are you crazy, I'm not sleeping beside you!" I'm finding it hard to breathe with him standing so close to me. I bring my hands up and I try to push him away, but he caught my hands and pulls me closer to him, causing our lips to collide. Before I could process what is happening, he was kissing me coaxing me to open my mouth. I open my mouth and he slips his tongue inside my mouth. I respond to his kiss and I put my arms around his neck. I lean in closer to his kiss and he grabs my hair keeping me in place, while he kisses me. He moves down to my neck, and I arch my neck back giving him more access.

"Now tell me, tell me you don't want me," he whispered in my ear.

I want you, oh god Alex, I want you, my heart was screaming. But my head gets the better of me and I push him away. "Alex, I told you this could not happen again. Please, you have to respect my decision. Have you come down to this, forcing a woman to bend to your demands?" I immediately regret what I said. He's face turned hard.

"You should be grateful, I could have any woman I want Ms. Adams. I never have to force a woman to come to my bed. Don't worry Ms. Adams , this will not happen again. Now, if you could leave my room, I need to get ready for the day."

I feel the tears threaten my eyes. It was your own fault, you shouldn't have said that to him.

"Ms. Adams, have you lost the ability to walk? I asked you to leave my room."

I numbly shake my head and will my feet to work. I left his room quietly. I ran to my room, and I close the door quietly, and then I let my tears fall.

Alex

I could see that she was close to tears. I had this aching feeling in my gut and I ignored it. I talked and dismissed her callously, without considering her feelings. Why did I get angry at her? She was right. I was doing everything I can to seduce her.

She walked out of my room quietly, but once my doors were closed, I heard her run to her room.

You asshole, I scold my self.

I walk out of my room towards her bedroom. I could hear her sobs from outside her door, and my gut clenches. I hurt her and I made her cry, I scold myself

I decided not to knock. I quietly open the door. She's standing by the bed, her face in her hands trying to silence her sobs. Her shoulders were shaking uncontrollably and I couldn't take it. I couldn't stand the fact that she was crying because of me. I quickly walk towards and I pull her into my arms. She doesn't push me away, which surprised me.

"Shh...don't cry baby. I'm so sorry. I was a jerk. I didn't mean to say those things to you. You were right, I had no right to force you to sleep in my bed. I'm sorry sweetheart. Please don't cry. I'm so sorry." I said to her. I carry her to the bed, and I cradle her close to me. I continue to hold her, while rocking her until, she stopped crying.

She looks up at me with her tear stricken face.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that," she said. I hold up my finger to her lips and shake my head.

"You have nothing to be sorry for," I smile at her. I wipe her tears and hug her to me.

After a few moments she said, "what time is it? We need to get ready for your meeting."

I nod, and I loosen my hold on her, "do you forgive me?" I give her my puppy dog eyes, which I know she can't resist, while giving her my best pout.

She laughs and nods. I smile at her. I give her a quick but tender kiss on her forehead, before I release her.

"I'll meet you in the kitchen for breakfast," I said.

She gives me a small smile and nods. I turn to leave and she calls out to me.

"Alex..."

I turn back to her, "Yes?"

She looked down. I walk towards her, and I tilt her chin up. "What is it?" I ask her softly.

"I lied," she said.

I arch my eyebrows, confused with what she was trying to say.

"I lied," she said again. "I did like sleeping in your arms. I thought it was a dream," she said shyly.

I smile, "I loved having you in my arms." It was the truth. I told myself that it was part of my plan on seducing her, but it felt so right having her in my arms, while we slept.

She surprised me by hugging me. I hug her back.

"I'd really like to sleep beside you, Alex," she whispered quietly.

"I'd love that." I release her, while grabbing her hand. I walk towards her bed and I picked up her bag, and we walk back together to my bedroom.

I don't know what possessed me to invite her to sleep with me, since I haven't allowed a women in my bed since Larissa. But it felt right having Ry beside me. It's just while we're here. And this is part of your plan in seducing here, I thought to myself. But suddenly, even I didn't believe my words any longer.
