The Secret Moments We Share

By Candace Campbell

“I started working at Light the Rose and wasn’t I shocked to find out that my new job was going to be the assistant to my old teacher the one man I was desperately trying to stay away from. It felt like it was fate the more I tried to stay away from him the more I was pushed into his arms. I tried so hard to stay professional because I didn’t want to be that girl, but I couldn’t help falling in love with him. Now I am caught up in all these lies.”

Talia’s whole life was built around lies she never knew the truth until it was too late. She lost her mother and almost died herself because of her father’s secrets and lies. The worst night of her life was what started her greatest passion and love. Happy moments never lasted long more lies and heart ache took over her life. Every time she got a head something or someone pulled her back into the darkness. She became whatever people wanted her to, losing herself along the way. Talia was lost and a little bit broken but she’s strong and a fighter and she knew what she wanted. No one was going to stand in her way; fate kept pushing her to him over and over again a man who was everything she wanted mixed with everything she needed to stay away from. He had a power over her, she was pulled to him but it was worth it to know, to fall, to feel, to love. If love isn’t enough to be happy then why didn’t she just die that night he found her? Why did fate keep pushing them together?

Dedication

I dedicate this book to my best friend, the person who knows all my secrets.

You Are My Everything

It’s your voice,

It’s your heart

It’s every little noise

It hurts when we are apart.

It’s your eyes

It’s your lips

It’s the truth in your kiss

It is no lie I feel this

It is you and me

It’s you, you are my reason

You are my everything.

Chapter 1

Talia woke up wrapped up in Emerson’s arms, and felt like she had just woken up for the first time in her life. She didn’t care what was wrong or right. Talia didn’t care what anyone thought about her. She loved him. She knew the situation would not get any easier. Not only was he still her boss, but they had a big account with her father’s company. She feared she couldn’t hide their relationship from her father, and he might end up ruining everything. She looked at the beautiful man asleep beside her, and she couldn’t resist the urge to touch his face. Talia leaned up to kiss him on the mouth. She just couldn’t resist his perfectly kissable lips.

As Talia’s lips touched Emersons, his tongue pleasantly surprised her, plunging into her mouth and dancing with hers. It excited her, the kiss that turned passionate and sexual quickly. Before she knew what was happening, she was on her back and he was in between her legs. He kissed all the tender spots on her body that made her tremble with pleasure and he stroked his erection between her legs, sliding up and down until he knew they were both ready. He leaned over to the nightstand, grabbed a condom and quickly put it on. When he moved back to her, a very aggressive kiss met him and she flipped him on his back and straddled him beneath her. She kissed his neck and ran her fingers through his hair as she left little love bites on his neck. Her teeth on his flesh made him shiver with desire. She enjoyed being in control, and she enjoyed having him surrender to her—she liked she had the power to make him come apart. For him to share control with her the way he did, made her feel like she was his equal. He has this way of making her feel important—more important than anyone else ever had before. She was always just arm candy for past guys she dated, but when he showed her off it was out of respect.

Talia looked deep into his blue eyes and saw they were full of desire and love. She eased herself on top of his erection and slowly pushed down until he was all the way inside her. In that moment, she realized he was the missing link in her life. Now that she had him, she was finally complete.

Emerson was in total ecstasy. Talia was a goddess, and they were in their own form of heaven. Nothing else mattered when he was with her. She was fully naked and riding him slowly, her long chocolate brown hair cascading down her shoulders and hovered over her fully round breasts. Her perfect pink nipples were hard and exposed for him to touch and kiss. He caressed her breasts and ran his fingers down her stomach. Emerson held her hips, intensifying the rhythm. Talia’s eyes flickered, and she made a little sound of pleasure. You are so beautiful. I love you so much.

I love you, too, Talia moaned. The experience was much better than she expected. She thought it would hurt more with her being on top, but it felt so good, and he fit into her better that way. The way he felt inside her was incredible. She felt free; powerful and beautiful. Her body quivered from the physical pleasure and she pushed him hard, deeper into her, and he moaned. He sat up as he kissed her mouth intensely. As she ran her fingers through his hair, he caressed her back, travelling down until he cupped her ass with his hands, pushing harder and lifting her up and down. It intensified the pleasure, and they screamed out in ecstasy. He held her so close, and so tightly, her breasts pushed right up in his face. Emerson kissed and teased her nipples, making her scream out loud.

Does it feel good, babe? he asked with a smile as he looked into her eyes.

You feel incredible inside me, she moaned back, pushing hard onto him as she clenched him deep inside her. He moaned in response.

Then scream for me, babe, he said as he softly bit her lip. Emerson increased the rhythm, pushing harder and deeper. It made her body quiver, and they both screamed as he hit all the different places inside her body that caused her unbelievable amounts of pleasure. Oh honey, you feel incredible, Emerson groaned as he kissed her neck and caressed her breasts.

It surprised Emerson at how open and sexual Talia was. She met him thrust for thrust. She let her insecurities and worries of the future burn away as she gave into her love for him and the power he had over her. He watched her enjoying herself and he didn’t have to hold back anymore—he could love her the way he had wanted to from the first moment she walked into his class wearing a red cardigan and pencil skirt. He grabbed her hips, wiggled as he moved her on top of him. She kissed his mouth and wrapped her arms and legs around him, clinging to his body. They became entwined together as one; the pleasure got so intense everything inside her body tingled and tightened. She lost herself in him and the pleasure he gave her. She came apart around him, crying out with pleasure as he pushed into her, prolonging her pleasure. He knew how to push her and make her crazy. Noises escaped from her mouth that she didn’t know were possible, but she didn’t care as the fire in her body sent embers through her core. Emerson came with her, looking deep into her eyes as his body jerked and he screamed out words of endearment. She fell onto his chest, panting and laughing with him.

That was the best wake-up call I have ever had, Emerson whispered in her ear, out of breath.

I just wanted a kiss. Talia laughed, and he kissed her lips slowly. The kiss was so sweet. It wasn’t sexual; a tender and affectionate moment.

Chapter 2

They cuddled for a few minutes before he got up to use the bathroom. When he came out of the bathroom, she could hear the tub running.

Are you going for a bath? she asked, giggling as she watched his amazing body walk toward her.

Not alone, he replied in his low, sexy voice. Before she could react, he picked her up in his powerful arms and carried her into the bathroom.

Her cell phone went off. By the ringtone she knew it was her father, and just then she could faintly remember that her phone went off earlier, but she had been far too busy to worry about her father right then. Talia looked into Emerson’s eyes and gave him an apologetic look.

I have to answer that. It’s my dad. If I don’t, he will just come here.

He will not make this easy, will he?

He never makes my life easy. Talia rolled her eyes, and he carried her back to her purse where she could easily fish around for her phone and answered. Emerson carried her into the bathroom and set her down on the toilet. He left the bathroom to give her privacy while she talked to her father.

Hi Dad, what’s up?

How come you didn’t answer your phone? I called three times! His tone was so demanding.

Because I was making love to a beautiful man. Sorry Dad, I fell asleep.

Well… as long as everything is okay. I was getting ready to check on you. Are you still feeling sick?

I’m alright. Was just tired.

Are you getting ready for the party this evening? We are leaving around six. I found you an escort for the event. His name is John Kennel. I just hired him, and I think you will like him.

Shit, shit, shit! No, now how am I going to get out of this one? Um… Dad, I am sorry. I didn’t know you did that, but Mandy wants to hangout.

Oh, Shelia said you were coming with us, sorry. Well, I would rather you were with us, but I can’t make you cancel on your friend. He sighed as he always did when he didn’t get his way.

Well, I’ll see you tomorrow. Please try to behave yourself this evening.

Okay, Dad. I’ll be good. Have a good night and apologize to John for me.

Talia used the bathroom and washed her hands. She shut off the water and Emerson walked in with a curious expression on his face.

So, I’m your friend Mandy tonight, am I? He grinned at her.

I didn’t know what to say and Mandy asked me to go out with her tonight and Sheila knows that, so the story is believable. It’s hard to get around my dad, when I lie it has to be a good one. I have to keep track of everything. I will have to put on my Facebook status that I am out tonight, or he will know something is up. He tracks everything I do. I hate all the lying, but he makes it impossible to tell the truth.

Man, I thought my old man was bad, but you have got it far worse, he muttered as he wrapped his arms around her waist. But if I had a daughter that was as incredibly smart and beautiful as you, I would probably keep track of her too, he said and laughed.

Talia and Emerson got into the tub together and soaked in the steamy water. Talia’s body sunk into his and, as she melted into the warm water, her entire body ached. Her body couldn’t handle so much physical activity in one day, even though she worked out regularly.

This is nice, Talia moaned as he rubbed her back.

Who’s John? Emerson whispered in her ear.

What? she asked as she turned around and looked him in the eyes. Right then, she knew he heard her entire conversation with her father, not just the part with Mandy. He is an employee of my father’s. Dad wanted me to go with them to some party tonight and he set up this John guy as my date. I have never met him before.

Good. I am glad you turned him down for me, Emerson said as he wrapped his arms around her tightly.

It surprised Talia at how comfortable they were together. She was completely naked with him and she didn’t once worry how she looked or if he noticed her imperfections. Every moment together was intimate and tender, and Talia became determined to love every moment while they lasted.

I would turn down anyone to be with you, Talia reassured him, turning around to kiss him on the mouth.

Emerson got out of the tub first, while Talia relaxed a little longer. When she finally got out, she walked out of the bathroom in a robe. Her stomach growled. Oh, right? It was probably time to make something for dinner. She didn’t know where Emerson went so; she got dressed. All she got on was underwear and a bra when he walked into the room with a bag of Chinese food in his hand. He was wearing only boxers and a robe.

He smiled at her and lifted the bag up. Hungry?

Yes, starving. Talia smiled. You thought of everything.

"Well, you don’t need clothes
