Chapter 31

Despite the several hours that had passed by since what had transpired between Dante and I, I still couldn’t erase it from my mind. Every time I thought about it, each time my mind so much as went

I couldn’t blame myself since I had not been touched like that since I left and the last man that did touch me renewed my desire unleashing it from its dormant state that it had sl*pped in to. Fort years I thought that perhaps my carnal desires had simmered away after I had given birth and it was just one of those things but I was wrong.

If any thing, my b*dy craved it more and it burned for more that even a single thought sent a jolt of need washing over me until I felt it in my core. It was like my b*dy needed one orgasm to reveal the vixen that I had thought was long gone.

I didn’t regret it exactly because I finally felt alive again but I do wish that I had stopped it sooner before I came undone on his fingers. Dante’s own desire for me was tenfold. It was clear that he could not control it either and had I not stopped things, who knew where it would have lead us.

But Dante had the gall to make such an advance when he was still very much involved with Pheobe. It was a boundary that I was not going to cross. I did not want to be a side piece neither did I want to invoke any further unnecessary drama that would come should Pheobe find out.

“Miss Miller, what do you think?” Melanie, the head of marketing, asked looking at me expectantly. with a hint of impatience.

Shit. I didn’t even know what she was asking me about because I had completely zoned out, Not only had Melanie been looking at me, several pairs of eyes from the rest of the room had been waiting for my response. I needed to think and I needed to do it fast.

“Sounds good. Although I would like to see the detailed plans before I pass a final verdict. Phew, I saved that nicely ensuring I got to see what she proposed before agreeing to it especially when 1 had zoned out.

The meeting had concluded and Lucy entered the board room just as every one had left. Her steps. were urgent as she walked toward me where I was still seated at the head of the table.

“Now that your meeting is concluded, Mr Crawford had dropped by to see you then minutes ago,” She informed me and my heart did that stupid thing where it felt like it had fallen and missed a

beat.

“W–What did you tell him?” I queried hoping that I could get out of this. It was too soon for me to see him. The events of last night were still too fresh, too embarassing to see him.

She frowned at my reaction. “told him to wait in your office until you’re done.” She said hesitantly fearing that she had done the wrong thing.

I massaged my temples with my thumb and index finger for a moment before looking back at Lucy. “Tell him that an important meeting had come up and I won’t be available for the rest of the day” I instructed her and she frowned but nodded and left anyways.
