The Bride

He smiled to himself knowing they would forget he was mad at her if she was with him. She could never resist him, and just like she needed air to breathe, she needed something he could give her.

When they got back to him and put the food down, he pinned her against the wall, reached under her shirt and began to rub her clit, feeling how wet it was. She knew she had won again when she stroked his stomach and heard him moan. “I have to stop because you’re still mad at me.” He said she knew full well that she didn’t want to stop. – Come on, you’ll cut the sack. He bent down and started biting his ears. His fingers unbuttoned her shirt and pushed it over her shoulder. His lips touched hers. He carried her into the bedroom, laid her down and took her hand and put his arm around her neck as he placed it on her head. “Leave it here.” He ordered, but she didn’t put it down, and when he hung up again, she looked at him and smiled bitterly. “I’m warning you. Do it again. I’ll have to tie your hands to the bedpost.”

“You will not be brave.” She pulled her shirt off her head and threw it and her bra on the floor, standing up and saying:

“Oh, I won’t.” she said in a low, sexy voice. He took a tie from the bedside table, tied his wrists and fastened it to the bedpost. – Release me, rude.

“When I’m done with you,” he laughed.

Kissing him hard, she buried her head in the pillow and touched his chest with her hands. He took his mouth from hers, wrapped around one of her nipples, licked and sucked, making her shiver. Then he did the same with the others. He moved along her belly, spread her legs and her mouth dropped as he touched her dripping wet pussy.

“Oh God.” She moaned and his tongue moved again and he pressed his lips together hard enough to make her wonder how she was able to breathe. “Stop, no more.” She said after she had a second orgasm. He tried to move his hand, but it was tied with a tie. I was shaking and sweat was covering my body. As she awoke, she felt his cock brush against her mouth and his lips moved to her throat. She moaned as his cock found its way inside her and began to move up and down. As she moved faster, he tried to turn and asked her to stroke him.

He looked down at her, thrusting into her and teasing her, knowing how much she wanted him. – Who are you?

“someone out there.” he said, panting.

“Wrong answer.” He tried to walk away before going inside. “I can do this for hours, who are you now?” he asked breathlessly.

He opened his eyes to see her and knew he could. “Boy, I’m with you.” She screamed his name and pushed harder and harder, and I could hear her moan as he shook from an orgasm that shook them both to the bone.

“Now I can take my clothes off.” She kissed him and rolled over next to him. – No, I love you all bound and helpless. – he said standing up, pulling on his pants.

“Where are you going?” he asked angrily. “I’m hungry so I’m going to start the sauce.”

“Tristan, please don’t leave me like this.”

Laughing, he walked over to her, sat on the bed and placed a hand on her chest. “Oh, how I love these beauties.” he said stroking her hand. “I’m serious, I’m going to be very upset if you don’t let me go.”

– Okay, I’m kidding you. he said as he untied the girl. “Why don’t you take a nice bath while I cook dinner?”

He rubbed his wrist. “I never thought of you as a bubble bath.” he said cynically.

He smiled. “Not me, I bought a bottle of perfume foam when I was at the market and you were looking at something.” I think it’s best to leave it here and use it as long as possible. He kissed her and left the room.

A smile appeared on his face as he left the room. She should have been mad at him, but he was so confident and arrogant. He was also very possessive and frankly a bit sexy. He was different from the other men she knew who could wrap him around his skinny little finger.

After relaxing and taking a bubble bath, I dried my body, changed into jeans and a t-shirt and smelled the kitchen and headed there. “It must smell delicious.” he said as he followed her.

She smiled and looked at him, took out a spoonful of sauce and cooled it down. “Taste this and tell me what you think.” He brought the spoon to her mouth and watched her swallow.

She closed her eyes and moaned. ‘Oh my God, this is so delicious. It tastes the best in my mouth.”

He frowned. “I thought it had the best taste in my mouth.”

“Oh stop it.” He smiled and took her hand. “Is there anything I can do to help?”

‘You can set a table and pour wine over us. It will take some time for the sauce to finish, so you can eat it first.

After the table was set, they sat down in another room with glasses of wine. A few moments later there was a knock on the door and Tristan was not happy to see that it was Robbie.

“Robby, what brings you here?”

He saw Ciara sitting on the couch over Tristan’s shoulder. He stepped aside and walked past his brother. – Ciara, I’m glad you’re here.

“Why?” – He beat Tristan and went to the hall. ‘I wanted to apologize for what I said to my parents. I was drunk and passed out. I hope you will forgive me.

He looked at Tristan, who didn’t look happy. ‘Robby, thanks for the apology. I appreciate that and I’m sure your brother will too. Tristan though?

– Yes, anything. he said cynically. “Something smells good.” Robbie looked at her and said.

“Don’t look at me, Tristan is making his famous spaghetti sauce.”

He turns to Tristan. ‘I didn’t know my brother could cook. I was so surprised. I want to taste.”

“Not now. I had enough for both of us. Now that I’ve apologized to Ciara, I want to go.”

“Actually, I have something to ask you,” he said as he sat down in front of Ciara. “Hurry.” Tristan sat down next to her and put a hand on her leg.

– I wanted you to give me a job.

“You already work for your father.”

– That’s it, I stopped.

Linnaeus shook his head before asking why he left. “We don’t get along and we’re tired of being called idiots so I asked him to surprise me.”

Tristan laughed, imagining Robbie talking to the old man and his father’s face blushing. “I don’t know Robbie.”

‘Hey, you know I’m good with electronics. I may be the property of your company and I’m not asking for a boss or anything. I’m very excited to prove it myself, starting from the bottom up.”

Tristan sighed heavily. “Okay, let’s see where I can use you when I come to the office Monday morning.” got up – Now excuse me, but I have to get back to dinner.

Robbie stood up as well and looked at Ciara. “It was nice to see you again. I hope we can have dinner together again.”

“Hello, Robbie.” She stood up and shook his hand. After Robbie left, they sat down to eat.

“I can invite you to dinner. There is a lot of food.

“I know, but I didn’t want him to spoil our party.”

“So you’re going to hire him for your company?”

‘He’s very good at software and we can use his experience. If he’s serious about working for me, I’ll give him a chance. There are enough stories about him. Let’s talk about yourself.’

“Me, what about me?”

“Do you feel good about what happened to Richard?”

“thanks. He will be gone for a while and I hope he stays away from me. I know he has family in Florida, so I’ll probably go there. But whatever he does, I won’t let him come to me. I will not live in fear that he will follow me”.

“I will never put her near you.” He took her hand and said.

He didn’t know what to say or how to answer, he just laughed. “Dinner was delicious. Since you cooked it, I’ll do the dishes.”

“Are you sure you don’t mind?” I have to call the office. Soon we can make popcorn and watch a movie.”

“Looks good.” He said as he stood up and started clearing the plates.

He goes into the office and calls the person he was working with. He says he’ll be after Richard as soon as he gets out of jail and will do anything to keep him away if he’s around Ciara. But he didn’t want that to happen and first visited Richard in prison and convinced him to leave. It was a weekend, but he checked with one of the staff to see if Robbie could help him. It turns out that one of the employees left the company. After she was done she went into another room and smelled the popcorn while Ciara was watching a movie on the couch. He sat down and they chose the violent and bloody video, and he was the one who chose it. He continued to surprise her, knowing that she had chosen a female movie.

When he started to freshen up, she threw the popcorn at him. “Wait, I’m going to watch your stupid movie.”

“Ttttttt,” he said as he hugged him and rested his shoulders. He lifted her top over her head and removed her bra and bra. His hand reached her chest and started caressing her. “God, I love these things. I love the feel of them, especially the taste in my mouth.” She put it in her mouth and squeezed her nipples, feeling the hardening.

The movie was forgotten when he sucked her breasts and put his hands in her pants. The next thing he knew, he had thrown a bowl of popcorn off the couch and onto the floor, he was lying on his back with his pants down.

He took off his clothes and looked down. “Sweet and soft, hard and fast?”

“It’s hard, but please don’t go too fast.” she said, wrapping her legs around his waist and running her hands up his muscular chest.

On weekends, we would spend time indoors, sharing more stories about our childhoods and growing up in a loveless home. On Monday morning, he took her to his apartment so he could get her ready for work. She hated the public transportation she commuted on, and when she offered the driver a ride, she flatly refused. After leaving her at the door, he took her in his arms and kissed her passionately. “I’ll be free for the next few days and get back to you.” He says as he walks away. ****************

Ciara walked into the office building to find everyone staring at her and whispering. There were balloons, there was a big cake on the table, and he knew what was going on, but he couldn’t. Tanya saw her and went to him and took him aside.

“What are you doing?”

Tanya bit her lower lip and continued to avoid his gaze. “I’m sorry Ciara, I wanted to warn you before I went in, but I didn’t know what to say.”

“Why are you warning me?”

‘Keith Campbell chimed in. Sorry. I know how hard you worked for this and it’s not fair to take it away.”

Ciara blushed and clenched her fists, turning her head towards Mr. Milton’s desk. He entered without knocking, slammed the door behind him, and jumped off the boss.

The sound of the door closing startled him and he saw Ciara standing there. He could see how angry she was and why. – Ciara, I understand you’ve heard of Keith.

‘Shit, I heard you. How can you promote that old man who doesn’t know the donkey that buries itself in the ground? We all know that I am the best fit for the job and I have been working hard for over a year. I brought you more clients and helped Keith sell more properties than he ever wanted in his life.”

‘Calm down Ciara, you gave it to the person I think deserves it the most. Yes, you worked hard and I thank you. But it’s a family business, and how has your sex life changed with all that’s happened? that i was sleeping with mr keith as one of our clients at the time knowing it was against our policy i think keith was the best choice. He has a wife and children and a soul to admire. Rather, you have a moral handicap.”

“Empty morons, are you kidding me?” “Keith is a loving and devoted family man because he loves everything he sees.”

‘Ciara, I don’t need this language, I don’t want it. I can fire you, but I won’t let you go. So go to the office and work like a good woman, she said back to the office.

Those words angered him so much that he blushed. “Why you stupid bastard, fat bald bastard. You don’t have to fire me, I’ll quit.” He ran to the door, but his face turned pale and stopped to look at the door. “Oh, by the way, Keith also slept with your wife on New Year’s Eve a year ago.” She slammed the door, went to her office, grabbed her bag, and left the building without saying anything to anyone. ****************************************************** ** ***** * * *****

Tristan recruited him and worked with Robbie on a new position in the software department for the next two days. So far, he has developed and trained new devices to make one of his software applications easier to use. In those two days, his mind wandered to Ciara, wondering how she was doing and missing her a lot. He wanted to make a phone call, but thought he’d give up on both of them.

On the third day, he could not bear to see or hear her. So he decided to surprise her by coming to work and taking her to lunch. He entered the building and knocked once before entering her office. There was no light and the curtains were closed, so it seemed very foreign to him. As soon as I entered, I turned on the lights and looked around. There was nothing in the office to indicate that anyone had been using it for some time. As he left, he ran into Tanya.

– Sorry. he said apologetically. “I saw you coming here and thought I should come.”

– Where’s Ciara? she asked, ignoring his apology.

“What does it mean?”

– Ask where Ciara is. The woman shook her head, saying that one stone was not enough to load the load. – I thought he would be with you.

Tristan started to be cold with this woman, he grabbed her hand and pulled her inside, closing the door. “Why does he have to be with me?”

“Well, I called for two days and went to his house, but he didn’t answer. I thought he was going to be with you,” he stammered. He was as handsome as a man, but there was something dangerous and scary about him that she didn’t want to get angry about.

“You mean he hasn’t been working since Monday?”

“The right side.”

“Why did it happen?” she barked at him “Didn’t you hear me?” she asked, turning her back on him.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“If I did, would I have stood here and asked?”

“Ciara gave up?”

Tristan found it hard to believe that he loved his job. “Why did he leave his job?”

“When we found out Keith Campbell was promoted, he had a big row with Mr. Milton and quit.”

He started running and stroking his hair with his hands. Many questions were running through his mind. Why didn’t he come to her? where was he now Has he left town? Without saying anything Tanya ran out of the office and she went to his house to make sure he was there, otherwise she followed her until she found him. When he got no answer, he knocked on the door with his fist. “Ciara, it’s me. If you’re in there, let me in.” Unable to find an answer, he took the key and found the key to the apartment. He didn’t say he was there when he installed the new door, he saved it. He came in, called her name and went to the bedroom. He wasn’t there, but she knew he hadn’t left town because all his people were there. He scratched his head, trying to think of where he had gone. He looked everywhere to find out where she was. Desperate, he even looked in the fridge. And shocked to see that there was no food there, thinking he might have gone shopping, he actually sat down and waited. An hour later he looked at his watch and swore. It took too long and he couldn’t sit still. He took her keys and left the apartment to find her. He figured he would drive around the park looking for his favorite restaurants and stores and if he still couldn’t find them. In the end, he still hadn’t found her, and that’s when he really started to worry. He swore to himself that if he found her, he would shut her up because he cared about him. There was an old abandoned building not far from the house and he didn’t expect to be there, but god he thought he’d better get going.

He stopped in front of the building, got out of the car, took off both his jacket and tie and threw them in the car. He noticed that the front door was open and outside light was shining through the window. It was still dark, but dark enough to move around. He could smell her scent and knew she was somewhere. “Ciara,” he called as he walked inside. When he heard a shout from down the hall, he headed towards it. My heart stopped when I saw her sitting on the floor with her head in her hands. “Oh dear.” he told her with a broken heart.

He heard Tristan’s voice and looked at Tristan with tears in his eyes. He stood for a moment and looked at her with quivering lips. Seeing him with outstretched arms, she ran to him and wrapped her arms around him. After a while he lifted her chin up so she could look at him as he did. But seeing the dark circles under his eyes and the dirty marks on his face, she knew he had been here for a while. Given her condition, it was suspected that she hadn’t eaten in a while. “I’ve been looking for you for hours. Do you understand how nervous I was? When she almost fell, he caught her in his arms, lifted her off the building and into her car.

He sat down next to her, turned to her and brushed her hair from her face. His eyes looking at her were like glass. – I’ll drive you home, talk to you later, okay?

He nodded and closed his eyes. For two days without eating or sleeping, feeling weak and tired, driving home without protest.

He took her to his apartment, took her to the bedroom and laid her on the bed. He knelt before her and took her hand. “I know what happened and I’m sorry. I know how hard you are right now. But we have to clean you and feed you. I’m going to give you a bath and prepare something for you. He gets up, goes to the bathroom, washes off the water and then enters the mental bubble. Then he takes one of the clean shirts and hands it to her.

“Thank you, Tristan.” She said as she took his shirt from him. I’m going to take a bath and bring you some food when you lie down. He kissed her lips lightly and walked with her to the bathroom. He fell behind while taking a bath. Thirty minutes later he returned to find her lying in bed, but she was still awake. He placed a tray in her lap and touched her cheek. “To eat.”

“Thank you, Tristan.” She slid into a plate of meatloaf and mashed potatoes and said, “That’s really good.” it expired “You must be hungry, I made it yesterday and it didn’t taste good.”

After half a drink the milk ran out and she pushed the tray away and he kept his eyes closed. “I am very tired,” he said, and went to bed immediately.

When he took out the tray, she put it on the table, covered it with a blanket, kissed her on the forehead and left the tray and left the room. It will put him to sleep at night before asking why he didn’t call when he’s so upset. He came back, took off his clothes and went to bed. He took her place immediately, so she hugged him and they slept like that night. Tristan was lying alone in bed before sunrise. She got up, put on her gym clothes and went to look for him, hoping he wouldn’t walk home awake all night. Because she was on the balcony, he stood behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulders. – Come in, it’s cold in here.

He turned to her. ‘I wanted to call you, but I thought you’d be busy for a while. I did not want to disturb you.

He covered her face with his hands. ‘No matter how busy I am, you can always count on me. Would you like to talk about it?

He nodded. “Okay, let’s go together.” He took her hand and led her inside. He goes to the kitchen and starts making coffee. ‘I scolded my boss for doing something really stupid and then I left the company. At least I’ll still have a job. He wipes the tears from his face. “Now what?”

He hands her a cup and sits across from her. “What are you going to do, pull your head up and get out and find another, better job?” You’re smart, you’ve got guts, and any company will want you.”

He smiled at her. ‘Thank you, you always know how to make me feel good. Men always get promoted, get paid more and do better. It’s not fair.”

“Know”. He put his hand on her arm and said. – Let’s go back to bed.

“Would you like to have sex?” He asked if she was not feeling well.

“No. It’s still early. I have a few more hours of sleep.” He stood up and took her hand and they went back to bed. Of course, he didn’t mind being hurt, but knowing that she was still vulnerable, he didn’t want to rush her.

Later, he changed his clothes and took her home for dinner. “I’m going to go get some food when I’m done.”

“Shouldn’t you be working?” he asked, taking a bite of the pancake.

“I’m the boss and I take a break when I want.” He winked at her and said. “How’s your little brother?”

“He’s doing really well. I’m impressed with him.” She wiped her mouth with a tissue and leaned back to look at him.

“What the? Is there something on my face? he asked with a tissue in hand.

“Not.” He answered. – Then why are you looking at me like that?

“I want you.”

– Do you want me now?

“Yes”.

He smiled. “Then you’ll let me sit here and do your job in front of these people?”

He raised his eyebrows. ‘If I didn’t think we were going to get arrested, the answer would have been yes. Let’s get out of here.” He threw the money on the table and took her hand and left. He opened the car door for her and waited for her to get in. He reached under her shirt and groaned when he realized she was wearing panties.

Seeing that expression, he shrugged. “I forgot.” he said naively.

As she approached him, he turned to her. “Release them and give them to me.”

He did as he was told and put a smile on his face. “Have you ever done that in the back seat of a car?”

She smiled at him. ‘Not since I was a teenager. Are you suggesting we park the car and kiss like horny teenagers?

“Okay, you got the horn part right.”

As he walked down the street, he stopped behind an old building in a secluded area hidden by trees. He unbuckled her seat belt and pulled her into his arms, lips pressed around her neck and hands between her legs.

“Yeah, that’s right here.” He said as his fingers entered and began to stroke him. “You’re too wet with me, baby.” She moves away from him and takes off her shirt. – Lay on your back. He watched her slide back, her hips pressed into his face. And he couldn’t help but stab her lightly. When she returned, she too climbed into a chair, pushed her shirt off her hip and sat on it.

He kissed her neck and began to inhale her sweet scent. “You smell so good.” he said, kissing her lips. His cock stiffened and blood rushed through his veins as he pressed his shaft against her. She placed her hands on his muscles and unbuckled his belt. He unzipped his pants and pulled his pants down over his hips. Pushing his cock into her, she spreads her legs wider, grabs him and puts him inside. Slowly at first, but sooner, as she pushed deeper, he grabbed her shoulder. His mouth was on hers and he grabbed her hand as he stuck his tongue in her hand. She felt his fingers tugging at her hair and let out a moan as the window fogged up. Their breathing is harsh. He began to move faster as he raised and lowered his hips. They were in sync with each other until she started calling out his name as he thrust harder and harder and had an orgasm. ‘Wow, that was great. I thought backseat sex would be so good. “Thanks for the suggestion.” said looking down.

“Nice to meet you, welcome to my place.”

Seeing her smile made me feel good and worried about her yesterday. “I guess I’ll have to go buy some groceries now.”

He pushed the cart and she kept throwing things into it that she would never buy. He grabbed it several times and told her not to pull it out, then put it back. She laughed at his stubbornness and how he complained when she stopped him from buying junk food. He took a piece of paper and said he wanted to check the job ad. He took her home and helped clean up the food. “Ciara, will you be with me tonight?”

She looked at him with tears in her eyes as she looked at his concern. “At least you will if you want to.”

“Yes.” he said, tugging on her arm. “We want to be with me, but that’s okay, my place is getting bigger.”

– Okay, sit down and rest while I prepare our dinner.

He takes the paper and looks at it. “I know I can find a job on the Internet.”

He cleared his throat. ‘I left it behind when I left the company. I don’t want to go there again.”

– I’ll take it for you.

“Thanks, but you can ask Tanya to do it for me.”

“Okay. Can I turn on the TV and watch the news?”

He smiled. “Tristan, you don’t have to ask. Stay home, do what you want.”

“what the?”

“Yes.” He answered. “sure.” He grabbed her, threw her over his shoulder and carried her into the bedroom. “I want to do it now.”

“How about dinner?” she asked, wrapping her arms around his neck. – I can wait. He kissed her and showed her what he was thinking.

They made love without eating that night and posed in various poses until they fell asleep. When he awoke, Tristan looked over to the side of the bed. She got up and put on her clothes without looking at him. The smell of frying bacon churned his stomach. Men knew they couldn’t live on sex alone, they were hungry and needed food.

“Okay, you’re awake. Breakfast is ready.” he said offering her coffee. She sat down and grabbed her bowl and watched him feed her. His eyes roamed around her, loving the clothes she wore. She was the type that went low enough to cover her bottom with a hole in the side. – Good. I’m hungry. she said as she handed him the plate. He poured a large glass of orange juice for the two of them before sitting down. “No wonder you’re hungry. I missed dinner and you’re very hungry.”

“It was worth it,” she said looking at him. “You’re doing it again.” she said looking at him.

“What should we do?” – he asked confused. “Look at me. You talk a lot these days.”

‘It’s great to see you making breakfast like this and wearing bold clothes. I thought you should live with me.

He dropped his fork and hit the partially empty plate with a clatter. – What you want me to do?

‘Go to my place. It makes sense because we spend every night together. I love sleeping with you at night and waking up in the morning.” He reached out and took her hand. “What do you think of him?”

“Not.” he shakes his head and says

He takes his hands off her and leans on her back. “You refuse without thinking. He didn’t know if she was angry at his rejection, or even more so. “Why not? We have been dating for about 5 months and are very good friends. Living with me will save us the trouble of visiting again.

He stood up and stood by the table with his back to her. “It’s okay, Tristan, let’s leave him alone.”

He walks up to her, puts a hand on her shoulder and stares at her. “It would be better if we were together. I didn’t ask if I wanted to live with another woman. Only you. I want you with me too.

“And if you want out of our plans?” I have no place to live and will not be able to take advantage of this opportunity. I lost my job and I can’t lose my apartment.”

‘I will not see you homeless. If divorce were in our hands, it would help us find a better place than we are now.

“Sorry no.” She gave up her apartment and every time he told her that the apartment was over, she didn’t want to live with him and she didn’t want to be with him anymore. “I try to see it from my point of view.”

“Well, then we have to do something.”

“what is this?” She asked for relief that he was not angry nor did he pressure her to live with her.

‘I have to leave my clothes here so I don’t have to change them every time I go home. It will have to be kept in my house.

She put her arms around his neck and smiled at him. “Thanks for understanding.”

“I can show you how grateful I am.” “How?” he asked.

An arm wraps around her waist and he slides his hand into the slit at the top. He removed her lace thread and put his hand on her hip. “How do you know?” He said as he hugged her and laid her down on the bed. Two hours later he got out of bed and started to get dressed. She lay on her side and looked at him. Whether she is naked or clothed, she still looks very sexy.

She undid the last button on her shirt, looked down at the bed and smiled at what he was looking at. So he goes over to her, sits on the edge of the bed and puts his hands on her face. “When you come to my office later, I’ll take you to dinner somewhere nice.”

“good.” she said, resting her face on his palm. – Okay, I’ll pick you up at five. He leaned down, touched her lips and kissed her softly.

At 5:30, she walks into Tristan’s office building and says she’s been out for a few minutes and has to wait in his office. A few moments later, the door opened and he looked into the hall. Robbie, handsome in a suit, black hair pulled back.

“Ciara.” he shouts when he sees her. – I am glad to see you again. I think I came to see Tristan.

– Yes, we asked to meet here. Let’s have lunch.

“I’m here to give him this report.” He took the file and dropped it on Tristan’s desk. Then he sits down next to her on the couch. “Ciara, I have something to tell you. I envy Tristan.”

“Why?” she looked at him and asked. ‘Because he ran away from his father and got rich. I’m envious that you met yourself before me. I understand why it was like that with you. You are so Beautiful.” As he moved closer and tried to kiss him, she pushed him away and stood up.

“Robby, what do you think you’re doing?”

He stood up too. – I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have kissed you.

– You’re right, this shouldn’t happen. I’m with Tristan.

‘It’s good to know you’re loyal to my brother. He is much freer and different because he is with you. I think Tristan is in love with you. My question is, what do you think about that?”

“Your brother doesn’t love me and I don’t love him either.”

“So, what are you doing?”

He walked away from her and headed towards Tristan’s desk. “Your brother and I are none of your business.”

“Are you looking for his money?”

“It’s typical of rich people to think that a woman will be with a man because he’s rich. To be clear, his money has nothing to do with us being together, it’s something else entirely.”

“Seriously, and what is it?”

She knew she had talked too much and she didn’t want to tell him that she and Tristan were just friends. “We enjoy each other’s company, that’s all.”

He moved closer to her and she stepped back and placed him between the desk and the table. “At first I was afraid he would break your heart, but now I think you can break his heart.”

“I disturb you?” Tristan cleared his throat and said angrily. They both looked at him and Robbie backed away. “No, I was just talking.

“Why are you here?”
