A one-night stand brings these two together, but they soon discover itโs not just a one-night affair.
Nate
I found myself in a bar, surrounded by people enjoying themselves while I drowned my sorrows in drink after drink. It was early for a bar, but I didnโt give a damn.
I could feel the curious glances thrown my way. A man in a tux, drinking like thereโs no tomorrow, wasnโt exactly a common sight at this hour.
Well, screw them. I had my reasons.
โKeep โem coming,โ I called to the bartender, my foot tapping in time with the faint music playing in the background.
โYou better have a ride back home, young man.โ The bartender set down another drink, concern etching his face. I scoffed. I had no one to drive me home, no one to love me.
โOne Long Island iced tea, please.โ A sultry voice sounded beside me, accompanied by a sweet, floral scent.
I continued to sip my drink, noticing the woman who had taken the seat next to me. She was engrossed in her phone, her long fingers with red-painted nails tapping away.
From the corner of my eye, I saw her chestnut brown hair, falling to her shoulders, hiding her face. She wore a red dress that ended at her thighs.
โSome wedding, huh?โ The same sultry voice broke my reverie. I turned to find her looking at me. I blinked, trying to clear my blurred vision.
Damn, she was stunning. Her big hazel eyes and plump, red lipsโmatching her dressโwere captivating.
โHello?โ She waved her hand in front of my face, pulling me out of my stupor.
Shit, she must think Iโm some kind of creep.
โUhh...Is it that obvious?โ I muttered, focusing on my drink.
โYeah, youโre bringing down the whole bar.โ Her voice held a hint of humor, causing me to raise an eyebrow at her audacious tone.
โLet me guess, youโre in love with the bride.โ She continued, and I jerked my head towards her in surprise.
How did she know?
โOr the groom. No judgments here,โ she added, making me chuckle.
โIโm not gay,โ I replied dryly, loosening my tie.
โKinda figured that when you were staring at me for a good thirty seconds,โ she smirked, and I let out a sigh.
Damn, she was good.
โWell, you guessed it right. Iโm in love with a girl who can never be mine.โ I sighed, and for some reason, it felt good to confess to a stranger.
โWhy go to her wedding in the first place?โ she asked, looking at me like I was insane.
โSheโs my best friend,โ I stated, and her eyes widened.
โDamn, that must be brutal.โ She played with the straw in her drink.
โNo shit.โ I scoffed and looked at her. She crossed her legs, revealing more of her smooth skin. My body reacted instantly, and a wild idea popped into my head.
โI know this is going to sound crazy, but do you want to fuck?โ I asked, without any shame. She seemed taken aback by my bluntness.
โWow, that was quick.โ She flipped her hair, giving me a glimpse of her cleavage. I needed a distraction, and the drinks werenโt doing it.
โI donโt hear you saying no,โ I smirked. She bit her lip, seemingly contemplating my offer.
โCome on, I just want to get her off my mind. We donโt even have to know each other. Iโll probably forget about this whole thing in the morning.
โItโs just a one-time thing,โ I urged, trying to convince her. She got up from her seat and moved closer to me.
Damn, she was tempting!
โFollow me,โ she whispered in my ear and walked away.
That was unexpected.
I followed her like a lost puppy, watching her sexy sway as she walked ahead of me. I felt myself harden. This was the distraction I needed.
We reached the parking lot and got into her car. I was too drunk to process what was happening. I didnโt even know if this was right, but I didnโt care.
โYou want to do it in the car?โ I asked, curious.
โGross, weโre going to my apartment,โ she rolled her eyes and started the car while I leaned back on the seat.
โToday is your lucky day, woman. Iโm going to fuck you so hard that no man will ever satisfy you like I do,โ I said after a while. She just laughed, shaking her head.
Once we reached her apartment, I pushed her against the wall as soon as she unlocked the door, kicking it closed behind me.
โOh my God, I canโt believe Iโm doing this,โ she moaned as I caressed her breasts over her dress, pushing it down to free them while I continued to nibble her earlobes.
Damn, they were perfect and she smelled so intoxicating. I latched onto one of her nipples, rolling my tongue over her erect buds while my left hand pushed her dress up above her ass.
โGod, you are so fucking hot,โ I groaned, slipping my hand inside her panties which were soaked. She was so damn wet.
Looks like someone has been having naughty thoughts all evening.
She quickly removed my coat and ripped open my shirt, sending buttons flying in all directions. I started to unbuckle my belt and removed my pants.
โLike what you see?โ I smirked as she stared at my body, licking her lips.
โYou wish. Iโve seen better,โ she retorted with a wicked smile, pulling me closer by my ass and giving it a squeeze. I lifted her left leg and placed it around my waist, pushing my arousal against her dripping core.
โLetโs see if youโve had better than me,โ I roared, lifting her by her ass. She instantly wrapped her legs around my waist, her breath coming in hard pants.
โCondom?โ
โIโm on the pill,โ she breathed out, and that was all I needed to hear. I pushed myself inside her without warning, making her gasp.
โStay still,โ I whispered hoarsely, beginning to move inside her. God, she felt so fucking good and I felt myself losing control inside her.
โUghh...Faster,โ she cried, biting my shoulders, which only turned me on more.
โFuck,โ I grunted as I neared my climax. I was so close. Iโve slept with a lot of girls and had a lot of one-night stands, but there was something different about this one.
It was so fucking raw and erotic. I wanted to keep fucking her because she made me forget about the pain.
We continued to fuck each other like animals, her nails digging into my skin. Soon, I released myself inside her and she followed close behind me.
โThat was satisfying, indeed,โ she smirked, sexily, and I gently set her down on the floor.
โTold you,โ I grinned widely.
โI donโt know why you didnโt get the girl. I mean, you are really attractive and know how to pleasure a woman,โ she said, adjusting her dress.
โI can be a real asshole sometimes and I guess our timing was never right,โ I replied with a tight smile.
โWell, I sure can tell that she is going to miss all the amazing sex that she could have enjoyed,โ she winked, making me chuckle. I realized that I felt better after a long time and looked at her.
โUhh...I better go and thank you so much. I really needed this,โ I ran my hands through my hair and got dressed quickly.
โDo you need a ride or something?โ she offered, adjusting her hair, and I couldnโt help but notice how beautiful she was. Any guy would be lucky to have her.
I couldnโt picture her as the type to have quick casual sex and for some reason, I believed that this was her first one-night stand.
God, I was really an asshole.
โIโll get a cab. Good night,โ I kissed her cheek.
โGood night and hey, donโt worry, time heals everything,โ she said in a soft voice, making me smile before I swiftly exited the door.
Chapter One
I probably deserved to feel this way for taking her for granted.
โYo, letโs go get some coffee,โ Ryan, my best friend, nudged me as I continued to work on my laptop.
โI have work, dude. I need to get the sample designs for our new project done, like now,โ I replied, not taking my eyes off the screen.
โOh right, the new project. I heard that our new project manager is a woman. Can you believe it?โ he whispered so that no one could hear us and climbed onto my desk.
โReally?โ I asked in shock because we were working in a gaming company and I was a game designer while Ryan worked in the back end.
โYeah, I hope she is hot. Iโm bored of seeing all these dudes and nerdy chicks around this company,โ he stated, making me laugh a bit.
โYeah, whatever,โ I shook my head and continued to focus on my work.
โWhat happened to you, man? I miss the old Nate,โ
โOld Nate is no longer available. This Nate here is fucked up,โ I replied dryly and he rolled his eyes.
โAre you still hung up on that Rebecca chick?โ he asked and I froze, unable to say anything.
โIโm not. Stop bugging me, Ryan,โ I muttered in annoyance. Ever since her wedding, I threw myself into work and tried my best to not think about her.
โJeez, someone has got their panties in a twist,โ he teased, punching my arm while I glared at him.
โGirls are throwing themselves at you, man. Just get over her already,โ
โIโm not interested in dating.โ
โThen, letโs hit the club and find some chicks,โ he winked and I let out a huge sigh, knowing he was not going to give up anytime soon.
Phew, that was one hot encounter!
โBoys, get in the conference room. Our project manager should be here any minute now.โ
โTime to meet the hot chick,โ he whistled and walked in front of me while I dragged my lazy ass towards the conference room.
The room was filled with our entire team which consists of around ten people and I sat down in my seat, already feeling bored out of my mind. I opened my laptop and tried to keep myself busy.
โHi, Nate.โ I looked up at the sound of a familiar voice to see Amy smiling at me from the other side of the room and adjusting her glasses.
She was a nice girl who had a silly crush on me since day one but she was definitely not my type. I smiled back at her just to be polite.
โWhy donโt you ask her out?โ Ryanโs voice carried across the room, loud enough for her to hear. I retaliated with a swift kick under the table.
โShut up before I kick your ass,โ I warned.
โIโm just looking out for you, jerk,โ he whispered back, and I mentally face-palmed myself.
โNow you whisper. Asshole!โ I cursed, earning a chuckle from him.
โGuys, our new manager is incredibly talented and excels at what she does,โ David began, his voice carrying a note of admiration. โShe expects nothing but the best, and I expect all of you to work your asses off to deliver this project successfully.โ
David continued to sing praises about this woman, and I was already contemplating ways to escape. I distracted myself by playing Super Mario on my laptop, all the while wondering what was so damn special about this woman. She must be in her late forties or something if she had achieved so much.
Poor Ryan!
โHere she is. Team, I would like to introduce our new project manager, Samantha Perez.โ David beamed proudly.
โFuck,โ I muttered under my breath, loosening my tie to breathe a little.
โMr. Wilson, are you okay?โ David asked, concern etched on his face. I smiled, assuring him that everything was fine.
Is this what they call a coincidence?
โDude, she is smoking hot. Am I dreaming or something? She is so freaking young. I thought she would be around thirty or something,โ Ryan gushed beside me while I gave him a nervous smile.
โThatโs Nate Wilson, our game designer and the most valuable asset of our company.โ
โNice to meet you, Mr. Wilson,โ she smiled, a knowing look in her eyes that lingered on me a little longer than usual. I returned her smile, albeit tightly, and looked away immediately.
Fuck, nothing makes sense. How could she be my project manager? She looks younger than me and sheโs too pretty to be smart.
Okay, that came out wrong, but come on, this was unbelievable.
โNate, she is literally eye-fucking you, man. Do you know her or something?โ Ryan whispered, and my eyes went wide.
โWh-- what? No, of course not,โ I stammered nervously.
โShe keeps glancing at you.โ
โI canโt help it if Iโm good looking, dude,โ I mumbled, wiping the beads of sweat on my forehead.
I kept stealing glances at her, and each time, she seemed even hotter than before. She was wearing a sleeveless beige top and a grey pencil skirt that hugged every inch of her body. She looked so poised and sophisticated, nothing like the woman I met at the bar the other day.
I reluctantly peeled my eyes from her smooth olive skin, which brought back sinful memories of that night. I took a deep breath to calm my raging nerves.
Okay, I can do this. She probably doesnโt even remember me.
The rest of the meeting went pretty well. I explained my design confidently, trying my best to pretend she wasnโt in the room. Once I was done with my presentation, I sat back down.
โAlright, team. Everything looks good, and Iโm excited to work with each and every one of you. You can go ahead and continue with your work. Uhh...Mr. Wilson, I need to talk about your design. Could you please stay back?โ
Fuck! Holy fucking shit! Is she going to fire me or something?
โSure, Ms. Perez.โ
โShe totally has the hots for you, dude,โ Ryan whispered before leaving the room, leaving us alone.
โYou look much better than the last time I saw you,โ she smirked, folding her arms in front of her chest. My eyes flicked to her breasts for a split second.
You look much hotter too, I wanted to say but refrained from doing so to keep my job.
โSo you remember me,โ I stated, running my hands through my hair.
โI should be asking you that. Iโm surprised that you remember me given how drunk you were,โ she scoffed, and I stood in front of her awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
โSmall world, huh?โ I laughed, trying to break the tension between us.
โYeah, small world indeed,โ she said, looking at me amusingly.
โUmm...did you really want to talk about the game design?โ I asked, just to be clear, and she raised her eyebrows.
โMr. Wilson, donโt even get the idea that Iโm going to treat you any different just because we fucked. We both didnโt see this coming, so letโs just put that behind us,โ she replied bluntly.
Damn, what happened to the wild sexy woman? Sheโs acting so cold and professional. Not that I wanted to sleep with her again or anything...or did I? I mean, it wouldnโt be bad.
โI know. I-- I didnโt mean it like that,โ I stuttered like a fool, feeling a bit intimidated by her.
Fuck, Iโm acting like a pussy. Whatโs wrong with me?
โComing back to the project, your designs suck, Mr. Wilson. I need you to come up with a new design in the next twenty-four hours,โ she replied casually and was about to walk past me.
โExcuse me?โ
โDo you have a hearing problem?โ
โI worked my ass off to come up with that design,โ I raised my voice a bit, feeling pissed out of my mind. Who the hell does she think she is? She probably doesnโt know anything about this stuff.
โWell, work harder. I heard some great things about you, so please donโt disappoint me again,โ she replied and turned around to walk out of the room, leaving me speechless.
What a bitch!
