Chapter 24
The time seems to have stopped for them as they kiss passionately. It's a first for Nick to kiss a woman
on the lips. Stacey tastes sweet and kissing her like is like heaven for him. Her lips are so soft . He
nipped her lower lip before exploring the inside of her mouth again with his tongue.
Stacey on one hand was like hypnotized. Her eyes are shut. The way Nick moves his tongue feels so
intimate and sensuous. She had never been kissed like this. Subconsciously, her tongue followed the
movements of his. It feels so arousing.
"Miss Pretty!!!! " called in a voice like a foghorn which broke the spell.
They instantly separated and they are both breathing in gasps. They have their eyes on each other.
"Miss Pretty! You almost left your phone in the kitchen again! Here! You should be thankful that I saw it
before you left with sir Tyler. " She told her before she gave her and Nick a curious look.
Upon seeing Nick's handsome face, the help smiled sweetly with her hand in mid-air as she hands her
the phone. Stacey got it from her. She is glad that she was the one who broke the stare. Nick's way of
looking at her is making her uncomfortable.
"Well I will be going now. You can continue what you were doing before I interrupted you. Enjoy!" Amy
said with a hint of giddiness in her voice.
Nick's eyes are still on Stacey's pretty face. She looks flushed which made her even more attractive.
"You will work for me Stacey! I will see you on Monday at 8:00 AM sharp! Bring your resume." he said
tonelessly.
"I don't want to! You can't make me!" she retorted
His eyes narrowed. "I did you a very big favor and the least you could do is succumb to what I want."
She tilted her head to her right while looking at him. "You must have confused me with someone else! I
don't remember asking you a favor! I am not that desperate to do that! " she said with sarcasm in her
tone.
Nick suddenly smiled in a very conceited way. "I didn't make a mistake. I am referring to you. You owe
me big time because the June issue of Not Eye Candy Magazine where you are the centerfold will not
come out anymore." he casually said matter-of-factly.
She gasped from shock. "H-How d-did you know about that?"
"I have a lot of connections..never forget that! As I have said, I am choosy when it comes to people I
employ so before I offered you the job, I had you investigated. Fortunately, I know the owner of that
magazine and the rest is history."
Stacey almost let out a sigh of relief. She doesn't have to worry about men feasting their eyes on her
almost naked body.
I guess working for a high-handed boss is more bearable than losing face because of those shots. She
told herself.
" Where are the copies?" she then remember to ask Nick.
His eyes twinkled. "In a very safe place .If you will back out from working for me, they will hit the market
in no time. I am sure they will sell like hot cakes." he said while he leered at her.
She gritted her teeth as he looks at her with lust. She has the strong desire to slap him and kick him
where it will really hurt him. Between his legs!
"Sounds like blackmail to me." She said while looking daggers at him.
He just shrugged his shoulders. "Call it want you want. I will see you at my office on Monday." he said
before turning to go.
"Wait" she tried to stop him as she pouted. Nick halted and turned to her again with narrowed eyes.
"I will work for you but there will be no more repeat of that..that.." she can't seem to find the courage to
say the exact words. Her face is now crimson.
"Passionate, arousing and delicious French kiss?" Nick said with a devilish grin.
"Y-You s-sex freak! You are my sister's boyfriend so stay away from me! Next time you do that, I will
sue you for sexual harassment! " she said angrily.
"No you won't. No one will believe you..." he said with conceit.
She was about to come back with some strong response but he continued talking. " And besides,
however pretty you are, I am not interested. I like my women submissive. You are too feisty for my
taste so your virtue is safe with me. I kissed you because I was curious if you taste as good as you
look. But now I believe that looks can be deceiving..." he said with a hint of amusement before walking
away.
She wanted to throw something at him but she controlled herself. Much as she hates to admit it, he has
the upper hand.
"You stuck-up wacko!" she just murmured at his back. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
When he was out sight, she recalled some of the things he said. According to him, her virtue is safe
with him. What virtue is he talking about? A man she hardly knows and hasn't seen already popped her
cherry. She swallowed a bitter laugh.
(Nick)
Since he saw her in the photo shoot, his desire to kiss her passionately on the lips has been
awakened. He never kissed women before because he felt that kissing is not done out of mere lust
only. Strange as it may seems, for a guy like him, kissing someone on the mouth is an expression of
something deeper.
He grinned.
As Derick, he made the right decision to control himself from kissing her. Probably subconsciously, he
knew that he will not be able to stop himself from touching or kissing her as Nick. Especially since they
will see each other almost every day. He will not let her compare the kiss of Derick and Nick because
as far as she knows, they are different men. That's the best for now. He even uses two different
perfumes. L'eau Serge Lutens for Nick and Dior Homme Intense for Derick. Without the sense of sight,
a person's other senses are stronger so he needs to be extra careful. He can't afford to let her discover
the truth yet.
One thing is definite. He likes everything about her. Her delicious scent, her sweet and tasty lips, mouth
and juice, her body which is made for love, her lovely face and her dynamic personality. She is the
perfect woman for Nicholas Derick Alcantara.

(STACEY)
"Are you okay?" she heard Tyler asked so she nodded. She turned her head to him and she let out a
small smile.
"Let's eat first then we can talk about where we'll go. " he said, his eyes on the road.
"Okay." she murmured.
She leaned her back on the seat more comfortably as she looks outside the window. She can't seem to
stop thinking about Mr. Grumpy. The feeling of his lips on hers lingers. She can still remember how his
tongue felt. Blake stole a kiss from her before but his tongue never penetrated her mouth. Even Derick
hasn't kissed her that way. She almost released a heavy sigh. Her half-sister's boyfriend is really
something else. He does what he wants regardless..
Why did he kiss her like that?
She was caught unaware so she had her mouth slightly open. His tongue's swirling movement inside
her mouth was so sensual and so unforgettable.. She closed her eyes then tried to imagine the feeling
again. She was about to touch her own lips when she heard Tyler's voice.
"We're here." he said.
She balled her hand and put it on her lap before she opened her eyes.
Stop it Stacey! He is Heather's man! However good-looking he is and even if he is such an excellent
kisser, you can't be day-dreaming about him! She scolded herself.

She was glad she agreed to go with Tyler. She found out that he is actually fun. They went to a theme
park then to a museum. He insisted they have an early dinner so it was almost 6:30 PM when he took
her home.
He walked her to their gate.
"Thank you Tyler. I had fun." she smiled at him.
He is grinning which showed his dimples. "Can we do this again?" he asked. He took her hand then
kissed it.
She frowned a little. He had never attempted to touch her hand before and now he even kissed it.
"Tyler..I told you.."she began.
"I know. I am asking you out as a friend. I will wait until you let me woo you again." He said with a
serious voice.
She just sighed and chose not to comment to what he said.
"I'll wait for you to get inside your house before I leave."
"Thank you again Tyler." she said before she walked towards the door.

"CHUBI!" (Bitch!)
Stacey had barely closed the front door when she heard Heather's angry voice. She counted one to
five before turning her head to look at her. She raised her left brow when she saw what she has on.
She is in a skimpy and very short one piece dress.
"I don't ever want to see you talking to Nick again! Next time, I will slap your face and drag you by your
hair!" she said angrily at her.
Heather is really pissed because Nick said that he doesn't want to get involved with her. According to
him, he doesn't want to date family members of his employees. She told him that it was baloney but he
was firm about it . Anyway it doesn't matter because she is going to do everything to get him and her
chubi half sister better steer clear of her Nick. The handsome millionaire is hers.
Stacey sighed. "Heather, I have been telling you again and again that I am not interested in your
boyfriend. I want a longer lifespan so I don't need a lot of stress. If you can tolerate his condescending
attitude, then good for you. He's all yours! You can even have him framed then hang him in your
bedroom so you won't lose sight of him! " She said in a cold voice before marching in her bedroom with
her head held high.
She wanted to say more but she didn't. It might make matters worse. She is tired and she wants to rest
before she goes to Blake and Eve's bar.She locked her room's door then sat on her bed. She took off
her shoes and started to massage her sole.
Then she remembered to get her phone. She wasn't able to check it almost the whole day. Her brows
knitted when she saw a lot of missed calls from Derick.
She dialed his number.
One ring..two...three..
"HELLO!" he rasped.
She nervously chewed the inside of her bottom lip. She suddenly felt worried with the way he answered
her call. He sounds angry.
"D-Derick?
"What the fuck happened to you?! he asked furiously.
