As Mrs. Reynolds leaves Ethan’s office, I turn to follow, but Ethan’s voice stops me in my tracks.

“Jessica, could you stay behind for a moment?” he requests, his tone low and intimate.

I nod, curiosity piqued, as I watch the door closes, leaving Ethan and me alone.

Ethan strides over to me, his eyes dark with desire. Before I can even process what’s happening, he pulls me into a searing kiss, his lips warm and insistent against mine.

My heart races in my chest as I melt into his embrace, my hands instinctively reaching up to tangle in his hair. His kiss is electrifying, sending shockwaves of desire coursing through my veins.

When we finally break apart, breathless and flushed, Ethan’s gaze meets mine, his eyes filled with a hunger that mirrors my own.

“I’ve been thinking about you all day,” he murmurs, his voice husky with desire.

A shiver runs down my spine at his words, a thrill coursing through me at the intensity of our connection.

In this moment, I know that I am more than ready to embrace whatever lies ahead for us with open arms.

Every moment with Jessy feels like a gift, a precious treasure that I never want to let go of. She’s like a ray of sunshine in my life, brightening even the darkest of days with her infectious laughter and genuine warmth. I can’t help but fall deeper in love with her with each passing day.

But as much as I want to shout my love for her from the rooftops, I have to remind myself to tread carefully. If I want this to work, I need to respect her decision to be discreet about our relationship.

It’s not easy to maintain a professional façade when all I want to do is pull her into my arms and never let her go.

The temptation to steal kisses and touch her whenever I get the chance is almost unbearable, but I know I have to resist, at least while we’re in the office.

Yet, even in the midst of meetings and paperwork, I find myself constantly drawn to her. The way her eyes sparkle when she’s passionate about something, the way her smile lights up the room—she’s utterly captivating, and I can’t get enough of her.

Every stolen kiss, every secret touch when no one is looking, only serves to fuel the fire between us, igniting a passion that burns brighter with each passing moment.

But it’s not just her beauty that captivates me; it’s the way she challenges me to be a better man.

With Jessy by my side, I feel like I can conquer anything, and I’m capable of being the person she deserves.

“Come in,” I call out as a knock comes on my office door. When the door opens, a wide smile spreads across my face.

As Jessy steps into my office, a warm smile graces her lips, and my heart skips a beat at the sight of her.

Without thinking, I get out of my chair, close the distance between us, lean in, and steal a quick kiss, unable to resist the magnetic pull between us.

She chuckles softly, her eyes sparkling with amusement as she playfully tries to push me away, but not before I steal another kiss.

“Hey there, handsome,” she says, her voice laced with affection. “You know, we have to be careful about these impromptu displays of affection.”

I grin sheepishly, feeling a rush of excitement at the playful banter between us. “Can’t help myself when you’re around,” I admit, my tone tinged with adoration.

“Well, you have to try,” she teases.

I steal another kiss before I go back to my seat. “I take it that you are not here because you were missing me just like I was you?”

“No.”

“Liar,” I tease.

“Will you please focus?” She is smiling now. “I’m here to talk about the upcoming event. There are a few things Rachel thinks might need your approval. She asked me to talk to you about it since she had a family emergency and couldn’t come in this morning.”
