“Now please, Roman.”
He cupped her bare bottom, pressing into her gently.
“Protection,” he managed, and she nodded, wondering how she even forgot.
He grabbed his discarded pants at the edge of her poster bed and found his wallet and the foil package.
He unwrapped it and hastily rolled it over his twitching shaft.
Needing no further invitation, he thrust into her slowly and began to move in an erratic rhythm. Fast and slow, sensually.
“Hell…” he breathed.
His breath was ragged; air escaped from his lungs, and he felt himself slipping over the abyss.
He groaned at the pleasure of filling her while she called out his name over and over, lost in him.
Finally, he collapsed against her, spent. They gasped together, breathing heavily.
Everything was silent except for their pounding hearts.
“That was….” Olivia said. She’d never felt like this before; she didn’t want this moment to end. She cleared her throat, feeling suddenly parched.
“I agree. Now it feels like I’m in the middle of the desert. Want a drink?”
“Yes, please,” Olivia laughed, coughing a little.
Roman pulled her close again and kissed her deeply, and she felt heat begin to stir in her blood again.
“Roman…”
He chuckled a little and put on his briefs, padding out of the room to the fridge for a jug of water.
Olivia stretched on the bed and giggled. She couldn’t have asked for a better end of her day.

Scarlett sat in her living room, legs splayed out in the soft glow of the evening light streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows. With a flick of her finger, she scrolled through her social media feed, her eyes scanning the latest news and updates. She yawned, utterly bored. Marcus could not make it tonight; .he had urgent business to attend to.
And there it was, a headline that struck her like a bolt of lightning. “Roman Knight, CEO of gigantic Sports corporation, announces relationship with Intern Olivia Walker.”
Her heart skipped a beat, a surge of anger coursing through her veins. The image of Roman and Olivia together, locked in a kiss, mocked her from the screen.
In a fit of frustration, Scarlett clenched her fist and threw her phone across the room. It landed with a sharp thud against the wall.
She had always believed she was destined to stand by Roman’s side, share in his triumphs, and build a future together. But now, it seemed like her dreams had been shattered, replaced by the image of another woman in his arms.
“He’ll pay, he’ll so pay for this,” she hissed.
Chapter 20
“Areyouserious?RomanKnight?” Sylvia shrieked as she danced, waving a ladle over her head.
Olivia threw back her head and laughed.
It was 9 pm, and she was finally back home after a long but fun day at work where her sisters were waiting for her, curious about how her internship was going.
“Hey guys, did you hear that? Sylvia yelled through the kitchen door at her sisters, Bella and Meredith.
