Irresistible Boss Succumbing to Your Touch (Maria Anita) novel Chapter 3

Manuela’s POV

After Sabrina's visit to my classroom, I felt unsettled. I was almost certain that Flavian would hide from me that she had sought him out. But then doubt crept in - did she actually seek him out? And just like that! I was being eaten up by doubts. What seemed like a pointless little visit from Sabrina had become a monster in my head. And the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like the clock hands weren't moving at all.

When class finally ended, I was practically already standing. I rushed out of the classroom and found PH and Lexie walking down the hallway.

"Manu, you should have waited for us inside the classroom," PH complained about my not waiting.

"I know, I know, but I'm tired, I just want to go home," I tried to hide my impatience.

"Tired? Yeah, you must be tired, you and my brother barely sleep and don't let me sleep either. The walls in that apartment are pretty thin, you know?!" Lexie laughed, making a suggestive comment about my activities with my boyfriend.

"Girl, I didn't know you were like that, Manu. That innocent face is just for show!" PH joined in the teasing while I turned red as a tomato.

"Oh, come on, guys! What did you expect? My boyfriend is a Greek god!" I was a bit embarrassed, but I won't deny I was also full of pride about the gorgeous boyfriend I had. "Shall we go, Lexie?"

"Yes, let's go, Manu. PH, we'll keep in touch. I'll try to convince this boring couple to go out with us on Friday." Lexie said goodbye to her new friend, and we headed home.

"Manu, you can't fool me, you've been on edge since Sabrina showed up. What's wrong?" Lexie questioned me as soon as we got in the car.

"Oh, Lexie..." I told her what Sabrina had said to me before they appeared and about my doubts.

"Look, Flavian made a mistake, but I'll tell you this - my brother doesn't make the same mistake twice. Trust him, if they really met, he'll tell you." I reflected on what Lexie said, and she was right. I told Flavian he needed to trust me, so I needed to trust him too.

We got home, but Flavian wasn't there. Where had he gone? I hoped he wasn't starting again with answering strange phone calls and leaving in the middle of the night. My head was full of unpleasant thoughts; I was agitated. I said goodnight to Lexie and went to the bedroom, took a shower, and lay down, but couldn't sleep, so I grabbed a book. Half an hour later, Flavian arrived.

"Beautiful little one, waiting for me?" He smiled and walked toward the bed.

"Can't sleep." He gave me a kiss and took the book from my hands, picked me up, and lifted me off the bed.

"That's good, because now we can talk a bit," he said and sat down in the armchair in the corner of the room with me in his lap.

"And what do you want to talk about?" I asked, feeling my heart race and my hands sweat.

"How was your day?" he asked while kissing my neck.

"Good. Your sister is going to be Patrick's new assistant, she starts tomorrow." He laughed and lifted his head to look at me.

"He's the one who needs to tell, but I think he'll do it soon," I explained, as it wasn't my secret to tell.

"Did he and Tess break up?" Flavian was persistent, and after asking me this, he pulled my nightgown down exposing my breast and sucked it, sending an electric pulse straight to my core.

"It's more like she broke up with him... damn! I shouldn't have said that." He laughed, as his sweet torture had extracted the information he wanted.

"I won't tell anyone. I already suspected it. But, little one, I need to tell you something." Flavian gave one last kiss before pulling his lips away from my skin.

"I'm listening." I said, already missing his kisses.

"Sabrina came to see me at the police station." Flavian sighed and began telling me about Sabrina's visit. As he spoke, my smile grew wider. He trusted me enough to tell me, which meant that this Sabrina could do whatever she wanted, but she wouldn't come between us. When he finished telling me, he looked at me intently. "I thought you'd be angry, but you're smiling?"

"You know what it is, big guy..." I shifted in his lap and straddled him, with one leg on each side of his strong body. "Your ex came looking for me at college." I told him what happened and that Sabrina would try to separate us. He tightened his arms around my waist.

"She'll only separate us if you let her." He spoke with absolute certainty. "Now that we've talked, come here, I need to feel you against me."

Flavian pulled me to his chest and removed my nightgown, once again trailing his hot mouth across my body that craved his touch. Sorry Lexie, but she would lose another night's sleep.
