Free Captivated By You (Twisted Love #1) by Wanitta Praks Page A

on Julian again and stared at the wall, folding my arms and pouting. Julian was about to say something when a bunch of people came into the elevator, crowding me, pushing me to the back until I hit his hard chest.
    “Kimberly,” he spoke, his fingers brushing my arms, balancing me when I almost toppled over from the impact.
    In the jam-packed elevator, I was pressed like a pancake, with Julian as my back support while people clamored in front of me. Suddenly, I felt something poking at the small of my back.
    Oh God, it’s Julian. He’s reacting to my body.
    I sucked in my breath and ignored it, reminding myself I was still mad with him. But it was extremely hard when my damn body was turning all hot and bothered, like I needed him too.
    Why was I reacting to him when I was mad like this? Why were our bodies so in tune with each other, even when our minds spoke different languages?
    As more people entered and exited, Julian’s erection didn’t cease. And my desire for him to be inside me grew even more. A little bump in the ride caused my butt to rub against him, and I shivered. It was one hell of a delicious shiver too, one that had my desire increased by tenfold. I was so wet. I bit my lip and closed my eyes, concentrating on my breathing pattern instead, hoping to suppress any further humiliation.
    Finally, I arrived on Beau’s floor. I rushed out like the wind, not because I was mad with him, but because I needed to sort out my body.
    Once back to my original state, I rushed out of the bathroom and collided into someone. Then papers flew everywhere.
    “I’m so sorry.” I apologized to the woman who was sprawled on the floor with papers scattered around her.
    She rubbed her bottom, then got up and smiled at me. I hope she didn’t get a concussion from this.
    “I’m fine,” she said, which relieved me greatly. 
    “Here, let me help you with them,” I offered, picking up the papers.
    She smiled and accepted my offer.
    As I was about to gather them into a pile, one document caught my attention. It was the research materials used for the presentation on Papa’s joint venture with Devereux.
    “Are you taking these to Josh?” I asked, realizing it might be Josh’s since he was the one who presented the proposal.
    “No, to Julian,” she said, smiling.
    “Oh,” I replied, surprised. It was Josh’s presentation, so why was this woman taking this research material to Julian?
    “I just came to collect these from Josh’s office, that’s all. Julian wanted them back.”
    “Back?” I couldn’t understand where this was going.
    When she saw the look on my face, she explained. “These notes belonged to Julian. Josh was just borrowing them for the presentation.”
    “Oh,” I said again. I was beginning to understand what was happening. One brother does the research while the other one does the presentation. Yet they don’t get along.
    “Thank you for helping me out.” The woman tucked the files under her chin, then walked off. I couldn’t bear seeing her carry so many files, so I offered to help carry them to her office.
    “My name is Kimberly by the way,” I told her.
    “Ah, so you’re the new girl,” she exclaimed. It seemed like everyone really did think I was the new intern here. “Everyone here has been talking about you. Saying you’re a beautiful thing.”
    “Thank you for the compliment.”
    “My name is Melissa. I work with Julian.”
    We arrived at her desk, which was outside Julian’s office. I didn’t follow Melissa in. I sat outside and watched her work instead. From the way she worked, I assumed she was Julian’s secretary.
    “Are you here to learn from me today?” she asked when I didn’t go back to where I came from.
    “Yes, I was assigned to work here.” I made up a lie.
    “That’s good. Come sit beside me. I’ll teach you how to do things.”
    Sitting beside her, I watched the way she worked, and I had to admit she made one hell of a secretary. In the duration I was
