Working With Temptation

Chapter 10: Part 2

Thank you so much for your amazing comments they really motivate me. It’s official that the “steamy” :D parts(i.e. sexual scenes), will be mixed in with the rest of the story. I hope you don’t mind. By the way there aren’t any sexual scenes until chapter 11. Here’s chapter 10: part 2

JAMES’S POV

We walked down the street in awkward silence. I remember her face when I was speaking in the microphone. I watched as her face grew sad but then she quickly smiled. But it was too late, I saw the hurt in her eyes and I just wanted to push it away. I wanted to tell her that I didn’t want to marry Isabelle and that it was her I wanted. I don’t think I love her, but I know I care for her. In a way more than a friend would.

These past two months have been the best. I’ve grown to know her more than I ever expected. We were really good friends and business partners. She was amazing at her job. Way better than any of my past secretaries. I managed to break down some of the wall she put around her but there was still some there. It’s only a matter of time before she will be completely open up to me and I can’t wait.

She looked like an angel tonight. She was wearing green which matched with my tie and eyes. When, I caught guys staring at her, I just wanted to grab her and take them away from there perving eyes. She danced with so many guys but not with me, which kind of made me unhappy but I don’t want Isabelle on her back. She can be very annoying at times. I don’t understand how she thinks I love her and I don’t believe she loves me. I think she’s just doing it for the fame and because I’m hot. Defiantly not because of money because she set for life, with the money she gets for modelling.

I looked at Rose wanting to stand closer to her. She was pouting a little, which meant she was thinking about something. I wanted the awkward silence to be over, so I broke it.

“What are you thinking about?” I asked quietly, bringing her out of her thoughts.

“Huh?”

“You were pouting. I notice you do that when you’re thinking hard about something,” I said. Her cheeks became pink as she blushed. I loved that I could make her blush and I did it often because she’s so beautiful when she does. I hated it when she blushed when Jonathan kisses her hand. It makes me angry that she would show her cuteness to him. She looked shocked at my observation.

“Why so, shocked? Didn’t have me down as an observant guy did you?”

“No not really,” she said chuckled and I joined her. We reached her door and I guess it was my cue to leave. I really didn’t want to go back to the party and pretend to be interested in what the snobby business men had to say. Or back to Isabelle’s nagging. I guess I could come up with an excuse to stay. I’d rather be with Rose over Isabelle any day.

“Um, there uh something important I have to talk to you about rose. Please it’ll only take five minutes.” She nodded and we entered her apartment.

“Take a seat I’ll just be a minute,” she said pointing to the sofa. I sat down raking my brain for something I could tell her but I couldn’t think of anything. I was still thinking when she came and sat down.

“So what did you want to talk to me about?” she asked curiously. I couldn’t think of anything so I went with the truth.

“Actually, nothing. I just didn’t want to go back to the party.”.

“Oh but Isabelle’s there. Don’t you want to be with her now that your engagement’s now public?” I ignored her question not wanting to answer. She began pouting and I just stared at her lips. They were so kissable I found myself leaning and slowly brushing my lips against hers. She didn’t move her lips against mine but she didn’t pull away either. I looked at her again and she was just staring at me in shock so I leaned forward again. I kissed her full on the lips and this time she kissed me back. She buried her hands in my hair bringing me closer. She opened her mouth with being asked and I slipped my tongue in. I massaged her tongue tasting her deeply and she moaned. It was the most angelic sound. I felt myself getting hard but I had to stop. I didn’t want to make her regret this later. I pulled back so we could both catch our breath.   

“Why are you doing this to me?”She asked breathily. I smiled caressing her hair.

“Because I like you Rose and I’m tired of resisting you,” I said quietly, placing my forehead against hers. She sighed.

“But you’re engaged,” she whispered. I ignored her question and I asked my own.

“Do you have feelings for me in a non-friendly way?” she stayed silent so I continued. “Because if you don’t then I’ll leave right now and we’ll never talk about this, but if you do then kiss me.”

She closed her eyes, breathing in deeply. For a second I began to worry about the consequences of my decision but that all went away when I felt her lips smash against mine.

ROSE’S POV

I kissed him with the passion that was in me. When I touched him sparks flew and I knew that we would go all the way tonight. I didn’t want to be good old Rosetta who always does what’s right. I wanted to be Rosette Evans who did what she wanted and dealt with the consequences later.

I leaned back on the sofa so he was over me. His tongue massaged mine and I restrained myself from moaning. I didn’t want to boast his ego. If he wanted to score tonight he was going to have to work for it and I’ll be teasing him all the way. His lips left mine as he trailed light kisses down my neck. I trailed my fingertips down his abs to his hand. I stood up still holding his hand in mine. Confusion slicked across his face, causing me to giggle. I guided him up the stairs to my bedroom. I opened the door and turned to him.

“Do you really want to do this?” I asked him.  He didn’t reply which made me worry. What if he didn’t want to? Before I could even register what he was doing he lifted me up bridal style and ran to the bed.

“James,” I whined playfully.

“What?” he asked amusement in his voice.   

“Nothing,” I replied, crashing his lips to mine.

That’s all for this chapter. It’ll carry on from this scene next chapter. Pleeeeeeease comment and vote.
