Chapter 67 - sixty seven
Chapter Sixty-Seven
Alicia’s POV
I sat down at my desk, still feeling sore between my legs. The reminder of what I just had with Malachi was everywhere. In the way I shifted uncomfortably in my chair. In the slight ache that pulsed with every movement. In the heat that crept up my neck just thinking about his hands on me.
I tried to focus on work, pulled out my phone to check messages before diving into the day’s tasks.
The screen was still open to the book I’d been reading earlier. The censored Chapter of the book Cassie had recommended. The one that had gotten me so worked up that I’d had to take my panties off just to get through it. The words on the page had painted such vivid images, my body had responded in ways I couldn’t control.
Heat flooded my face as I remembered. Remembered reading those explicit scenes while sitting at this very desk. Remembered how wet I’d gotten. How Malachi noticed my arousal and tempered it.
I quickly sent Cassie an angry emoji, my fingers jabbing at the screen.
Her reply came immediately. "You’re welcome {smirking emoji}"
Traitor. She knew exactly what she was doing when she recommended that book.
I glanced at Malachi. He was deeply rooted in work, focused on his laptop screen with that intense concentration he brought to everything. His brow was slightly furrowed. His jaw set. Completely oblivious to what I’d just been looking at. To the effect he’d had on me that made me seek out that kind of reading material in the first place.
Thank god.
I closed the reading app and got back to actual work. Files needed reviewing. Emails needed responses. Numbers needed checking. The mundane tasks of running a business empire.
