In that moment, Aaron embodied a contradiction in motion. He was both the fierce blaze that ignited passions and the icy fortress that shielded him from vulnerability. "Mr. Granger, Mr. Carter," Clint greeted. Aaron took his seat at the head of the table and signaled for the director to begin the meeting. He felt Elena's gaze on him, but he didn't even look in her direction. If Elena wanted to act as if it had been just one damn night, then so be it. "Mr. Granger, the communicators we are developing are small telephone devices that work in isolated areas where the normal telephone signal does not reach. This long-distance communication system will be beneficial for remote rural areas, high mountains, and less developed countries," the director said. "But there's also the anticipation of something bigger. It can also serve to improve communication systems on submarines and airplanes. In other words, we can innovate the aerospace market." Aaron nodded. After Spencer's visit, he w

She wanted to ignore it and leave, telling herself that the act had been just a moment of irrationality. But beyond the words, the presumptuous tone of voice seemed attractive to her. And, to the surprise of the beautiful woman, Aaron rose from his leather armchair and walked a few steps until he reached her. The height difference between them was favorable. He grabbed Elena's forearm and pulled her towards himself. The impact between their bodies was electrifying, something they weren't prepared to feel. The woman's free hand followed to the man's chest, on pure instinct. His rigid skin cradled her soft palm, like a perfect fit. 'This feels so good' "I came to apologize," the beautiful woman's voice was weak, somewhat whispered. "I like your lies, but I want to know the truth. Why did you ask Will for my address?" They knew what would come next, and nothing could be written in a sacred book. The next contact was caused by Aaron's fingertips sliding across Elena's face. He

The next morning, Elena awoke to the sound of noises coming from the apartment's bathroom. It took her a few seconds to acclimate to the surroundings. The brightness of Sin City fell upon her through the large windows.Elena was lying naked on a soft layer of white comforters, slightly warmed and illuminated by the sunlight. Urban sounds were familiar to her, but in that part of the city, they seemed more intense.And when she realized what had happened the night before, she expected to be hit by regret. She waited for all of Damon's words to lash her soul, and for the feeling of guilt to scream in her ears. But it didn't happen. Elena couldn't bring herself to feel bad for what she had done.She knew she was taking more risks than she should, and that if Damon found out, he would make her suffer even more. But that wasn't enough to make her regret having another night with Granger.The beautiful woman lazily opened her eyes, looking around to find something familiar. It didn't tak

Elena RoseFord epitomized beauty in every sense. Her long brown locks, set against her porcelain skin, made her appear like a mirage, unlike any other woman. People wondered if she could be as beautiful as she appeared, and indeed she could. It was impossible to look at her just once.Upon arriving at the luxurious The Cosmopolitan, a hotel with an elegant casino facing the Planet Hollywood, the limousine halted in front of the red carpet laid out before the building. The modernist-inspired hotel would host the event organized to honor the last charity auction of the year.The lights blurred Elena's vision. The spotlights aimed at the front of the building gave it the distinctive aura that only a Las Vegas construction could have. Dozens of photographers were also present to capture the guests' arrivals. However, the venue's security ensured they entered safely amidst the crowd. Damon and Elena flashed fake smiles for the photos and proceeded inside.Elena wore a red satin Porsche

Sabrina looked at Aaron and smiled with false gracefulness. She was close to the door, and walked over to him with calculated steps for a model. Her smile didn't deny her intentions, intentions that the man knew very well. "You arrived just in time for our conversation," she said. "Elena, please, could you give us a few minutes?" Granger asked Elena, ignoring the blonde's words in front of him. At that moment, the beautiful girl had to make sure her jaw wasn't on the floor. She couldn't believe that Aaron wanted privacy to talk to Sabrina. However, Elena lifted her head, taking a less surprised and more prepared stance. Her eyes burned as she took the last steps to leave the bathroom, but the woman was determined to stand firm. She didn't have to care. She had nothing to do with Aaron. She was already married to someone else. Elena passed by Aaron and Sabrina, beside them. She knew she was being watched by that man, and that maybe that falsely casual encounter was a way f
