2020-08-21 17:24:05James lifted her chin with his right index finger and made her to look at him while he stared at the luscious twins beneath her nose that were trembling, possibly out of fear.
He smiled. "I'll recognize those lips anywhere,"he mentioned and her jaw dropped." But, I'll have to confirm, "his voice came out as a whisper now.
Joyce's mouth opened and close more than usual. It seemed she suddenly forget how to talk. She couldn't make words out of her mouth. What was he trying to do? What did he mean by confirming? She was curious.
James leaned his head downward slowly with his finger still under her chin. He raised his eyelids to see that she almost had her eyes closed and also leaning toward him, although with hesitation, as if she was unsure about it.
Gently, but seductively, his lips touched hers but moved away too quickly. He started acting sluggishly when she suddenly seemed impatient to be connected with him.
He rubbed his nose with hers before tracing it with his lips despite the obstruction of the mask. His right hand moved very slowly, sending shivers down her spine, to her waist, pulling her closer to him.
Joyce was getting impatient. Why was he wasting time teasing her? He can be so damn — so damn what? She couldn't think of any perfect word for him.
Her prayers got answered when he finally settled on her lips. She wanted to moan but kept on suppressing in or that would make him feel she was desperate for him.
He caressed the small of her back as he took forever in nibbling on her lower lip before exercising on the two. She responded with the same energy he was giving and it all felt too good to be true and real.
Tentatively, he introduced his tongue into her mouth which she welcomed with everything she had. She wrapped her hands around his neck, forgetting about everything except them and the pleasure she was getting. She really didn't care if he was together with Vivian. She just wanted to enjoy that moment.
But she was wrong. All of Vivian's insults swam back into her head and immediately, she forced her eyes open and pull away from her boss. She would never forget those words.
"Joyce, is everything alright?" James asked with concern,wondering why she had just pulled away.
Ignoring his question, she pulled off the mask on her face and got the too big dress off her. She placed a hand on her forehead and the other on her waist. She was suddenly angry but was even confused at who to direct the anger to. Her boss, Vivian or herself?
"Joy....," he was just about to repeat his question when she cut in.
"James, let me have my phone. I'm leaving," she uttered in anger and then crossed her arms.
James couldn't say anything. He could only stare at her and realized she could be so cute even when she was angry. He watched her licked her lips which were still trembling from the connection earlier and smiled.
"Get that fucking smile off your face and give me my phone before your so-called girlfriend gets here," she lashed. She could have just walked past him and picked her phone from the bed. It was that easy, but she seemed to prefer the hard way. Her actions were contradicting her words.
" Are you talking about Vivian?"James asked but he assumed she was when she didn't give him any reply. "Joyce,how many times do I have to tell you that there is absolutely nothing between Vivian and I? We are just friends. Believe me," he tried to convince her.
She changed her position and stood in akimbo. "How do you expect me to believe you when she called you 'love'?" she made an invisible quotation marks in the air when she pronounced love.
He made an attempt to talk but she wasn't finished.
"How could I believe you when she was at my house a while ago ranting like a bitch she was?" Her voice was going higher and one of her hands was already on her side.
James' expression turned bitter. He could clearly see she was hurt. Whatever that woman had said to her hurt her."Joyce—,"he tried to calm her down but it wasn't working.
" She told me you were just toying with me, James. She told me that you two are really together, that there is nothing you want with me cause you think I'm a gold digger,"she shouted in anger and she was surprised when tears escaped from her eyes.
" No, Joyce. Listen to me,please,"he pleaded but she wasn't yielding.
Angrily, she smiled and wiped her tears. The way her hand wiped those lines of tears away even made the rest in the tear gland afraid of coming out."I am so stupid and I know it. I was so wrong to have loved you. James, I gave my heart to you. I gave myself to you but—"
He could no longer tolerate her accusations. What was wrong with her? She was not even giving him the chance to explain himself. So, he shouted," JOYCE!!!" and his voice resounded in the house.
She froze at his voice and could only look at him wide eyed. It was evident in her eyes that it caught her unaware.

"How could you be so dumb to let yourself get injured? It doesn't seem to me like you love yourself at all. See how the innocent fingers are bleeding all because of your carelessness,"Joyce nagged as she treated her boss's wound, but refused to spare him a glance. She should just help with the injury, reveal the truth to his parents and leave his life for good.She had some savings from the salary she had earned. Maybe she would just set up her own hair salon. She had learnt the work even before she got admission into the university and she was quite good at it. In fact, very good.But, she had to admit that it would be so hard to forget her boss. She had thought it would be easy not until she saw him now. All the feelings she thought she had buried in her heart resurrected at his sight and even became stronger. She was still head over heels in love with her boss. And that's why she couldn't look him in the eyes now,afraid of what she woul
HIS DESIRE Chapter Twenty Five
Joyce got home and started pondering about everything. She should just try to forget everything about her boss and move on. After all, she had submitted her resignation letter. She didn't need to go to work anymore but what would she do now? There is only one option and that is to go out and look for job. Philip, who could have been her other option, was now out of the game,all thanks to her amazing boss.Something popped up in her mind and she was immediately filled with remorse. James's parents. She lied to them. She deceived them, made them believe she was together with their son. She touched the necklace that was given to her by his mother. She had to return that and reveal the truth. She could not bear keeping it from them, especially Mrs. Andrew. She was too nice, although somehow cunning.She made a mental note to visit the Andrews the following day.She exited her room and went to the living room and saw h

"Can you at least hear me out?" James pleaded in a calmer tone. He used a hand to rub his neck and paced a few times before taking Joyce's hand and took her to his living room.She couldn't say anything. All she found herself doing was looking at him go about before settling on the large table at the center of the room before her."Joyce, I really don't know how to explain this to you for you to be really convinced,"he started and met her eyes, but she didn't utter a word so he continued," Vivian and I are just friends. Nothing more. I don't know what she has planted into your head but they are all lies,"he said, and when she opened her mouth, probably to protest, he made her swallow her unspoken words by holding her hands.He must confess,he loved the feeling. "Joyce, I love you," he revealed and watched as her gaze shifted from their hands to his face and he nodded in confirmation that he meant what he said. "I really do

HIS DESIRE Chapter Twenty two
Joyce opened the metal door widely and rushed in. She looked at her boss on his king sized bed and thought he was unconscious. With fear, she climbed the bed and started calling his name. She was beginning to sweat in her palms but as she lifted one of his hands in hers, he made a turn around and rested his bonce on her thighs.She hissed aloud. "Gosh, I thought he's dead. I've forgotten he sleeps like one," she complained to her relief and then pushed him gently to awake him. "James?"No response."Hey, James," she shouted but he could only snuggled closer and circled a hand around her waist. Her mouth formed an 'o' as she exclaimed, "You've got some guts, haven't you?" She uttered as her eyes drifted to where her phone was on the far edge of the bed. She would have to stretch all her body to reach it.James turned with his chest facing up. He was still fast asleep or so she thought.
HIS DESIRE Chapter Twenty one
When he closed at the office, he went home to have a nap. He was very tired but all he planned was a few minutes nap before he would eat and return Joyce's phone. He got to his large living room which has a few painting of his pictures on the walls. The colors of the curtains and chairs are the same which was chocolate brown against the cream colored walls. He dropped his briefcase carelessly on the sofa, took off his suit, tie and shoes and let them assemble on the tiled floor as he walked to his room, almost with closed eyes. He fell softly on his bouncy bed and his planned nap turned into hours of sleep with Joyce's phone in his hand as he sprawled on the bed. Joyce got to his living room burning with anger from what Vivian had told her. She didn't know where she got her address from but she had been there to confirm all her fears and doubts. She wasn't surprised at all. She c
