FALLING FOR THE MARRIED BILLIONAIRE.

AFTER KISS EFFECT.

******************

Lori pressed her hands on Pierce's chest and exercised strength to push the massive man away from her.

Pierce felt his lip depart from hers as he got back to his senses, letting himself to be pushed and making things easier for her.

He set his eyes on her and made sight with her fluttered state, she was at the highest stage of embarrassment. He was too.

She hastily turned away from his piercing gaze, turning over to the window, she struggled with the locks.

" I'm not stoping you here, I'm taking you home. " He strongly said.

Lori fell to her chair, she heavily avoided his gaze, not even from the side. She tried as much as possible to reduce the level at which she was heaving. Luckily for, she was able to.

************************

As soon as Pierce got to her location, she hurried over to the door, still evading his face. It was same as her first try, she bouncing her fingers on and off the locks. She was so tensed that she never got it right. Her fingers helplessly slipped through the locks without getting the job done.

Pierce felt it was time to opt in and help her, although it would startle her more than she was, it was hard to wtach.

************************

" let me help. " Pierce cleared, his regret was dawned in his voice.

Lori gasped at the sound of his voice. She paused for some seconds, then resumed her desperate attempt.

Pierce sighed, he gently pulled her back by the shoulder and presented himself to help.

" Here, " He replied fixing the problem.

Lori didn't wait for him to open the door for her, she rushed it and humped out of the car.

Without turning to say goodbye, goodnight or a thankyou, she lowered her head and scurried away inside her house.

*************************

( PIERCE'S POV )

Pierce lost track of time for a second there, he felt a whiff of breath escape him as Lori made her way inside her house. He stepped on his pedal and went his way.

Pierce was troubled, what has he done? Only he knew that he couldn't blame his actions on the alcohol he had with Ethan earlier, it wasn't even much. He was pushed by the fact that he had experienced an intimate moment with Lori before, only that the lady doesn't remember.

Also by the fact that she'd been on his mind nonstop. He had hoarded so many thoughts that when he had a few moments close to her, he couldn't control himself.

Thinking about the kiss, he had never experienced such an energy before. As the kiss recollection came, it baffled him. So much so that the thought came with a clear and grande resolve, leaving him feeling big inside his head and the hair at every inch of his body standing erect.

His eyes were brighter than ever, as though a vivid light shone at his face. As he exhaled, he caught her scent back inside his car. His thoughts were so intentional, that he almost reenacted her present on the passenger seat.

He hastily turned to the seat, there was no one there, just a blue bracelet. He lost himself again, forgetting that he was driving. Pierce pierced his eyes on the bracelet so deep that he saw through the cheap jewelry.

He saw the tiny butterfly shining inside the transparent glass. It appeared like there was fluid inside it, which was infact present. He was forced to focus on his driving, when a car in front of him violently horned.

Pierce sat inside his office late at night, a pen in his hand, but he wasn't writing, he was too deep in thoughts to know what he was doing. His bottle of water had been standing on the table, open and unattended to for a while.

His laptop was open, the display light was now off. Pierce tapped the tip of the Pen on the table slowly in tune with his state.

Just what was that energy? he asked himself again. He couldn't get the pull off his mind, he called it a rubber band effect. It was as though his sanity was pulling him back, but there was also a yearn that dragged him back into her. Hence the name, rubber band effect.

There was also the increasing desire to have her as he presented her a kiss. But what was on her mind after his actions? surely she was thinking about it too.

Pierce was not stable, not only was she his employee, but she was also his daughter's tutor. and worse, he was married.

Lori must be rethinking her life choices right that instance, she may have thought about quitting her job. Pierce didn't want that. Maybe he should contact her, maybe he should render an apology for his actions.

He picked up his phone and placed it on. He didn't have her number but he knew just how to get it. He went to his employees profile and got her number from there.

After Saving the contact, it was time to message her, but he couldn't. He was stuck. He gave his phone a long stare as he couldn't muster up the courage to send the message.

He went as far as typing the first sentence, but went on to cancel it. Pierce went on to type several messages but deleted them all.

Pierce went on to lace a glare at his poor innocent phone.

**********************

" what are you doing? "

Pierce was startled to hear his wife Caitlyn's voice. He glanced up and saw her standing few meters away from his door. She wore a long robe, her left hand held the Middle to keep the robe together.

" I didn't hear you come in, " Pierce released.

" I've been here for quite a while__

" You didn't knock. "

" I did Pierce, but you didn't answer so I walked right in. "

" Oh, " Pierce realized that it may be his fault.

" What are you thinking about? " Caitlyn asked.

" I'm not thinking about anything... I... I'm just doing some work. "

" Did I mention that I've been standing over here for a while? "

" Maybe you should have just said something. "

" I knocked and you didn't hear me, I was just wondering what you were doing. " She processed, " Maybe you should lock the door. "

" I don't think so. Because, if I do so then, you'll a raise a problem about it and don't start Cait, it's late. " Pierce replied.

There was a few seconds of silence, Caitlyn remained where she stood.

" You're right, it's late. Aren't you going to bed? "

Pierce didn't expect her to ask him that question, they don't even sleep in the same room.

" I will... "

" can you come over my room tonight.. it's cold alone. " She pinched.

Pierce was not in for that, only hearing it caused a strain in his head.

" Of course, give me a minute. I'll be right there. " He said and right after, he regretted it, but there was no going back.

Caitlyn wore a smile, " Okay, I'll leave the door open. "

Pierce nodded and watched her leave, closing the door behind her.

***************************

( PIERCE'S POV )

Pierce's head fell to the table after his wife left. He gave his phone another stare, it was useless now. There was no point wallowing inside his office now that his wife has come to call him, she would be expecting him.

He shut down his laptop, placed it carefully at the side of his table and got to his feet. His last thoughts before he went to bed was that Lori wasn't going to broadcast the scenario to anyone and that she took the action well.

************************

Ethan stumbled in through the front door, he almost missed a foot as he spiralled inside the house.

Beth was on the couch, watching the Guy's grocery games when Ethan entered. She had found herself one of Ethan's possession and had worn it. it was a blue long sleeved shirt, she wore only panties underneath.

Ethan was heavily drunk, once he was in, he couldn't stand still. He fell to the ground and crumbled on the floor, Beth didn't need verification to know that he was in his Element.

She threw away the remote control and ran over to him. Beth got down beside him and lifted his head and placed it on her lap.

She felt his temperature, he was smoking hot. He had sweat emerging from his forehead, down his face and covering his neck.

She immediately took off his shirt and wiped his face and neck. Still struggling, she took off his shirt and blew him air from her mouth.

She began cleaning off the massive amount of liquid off his silky hair.

*********************

" Be.... Beth? " Ethan heaved.

" I'm here..... " Beth was having the ugly feeling to cry.

" How... how long have... fu....ck! "

" Ethan what have you done? " The tears were dropping down, " Why are you getting yourself like this? "

" I hate my fu...cking life. " he drew

" What happened? "

" If I told you.... I will have to kill you. " he sang.

Beth thumped his chest lightly, not too hard to cause him pain, " This is not the time to joke you i***t.

Ethan laughed drowsily.

" You bastard, you're gonna have an accident one day.. you i***t, " Beth was crying hard.

Ethan shakily took out his hands and messily wiped Beth's eyes, mistakenly sticking his fingers inside her mouth.

Beth emitted more tears from Ethan's gesture.

Beth wiped her face and gently raised Ethan's head, placing him into a seating position.

" You have to help me Ethan. " She whispered to him, " You need a bath. "

She managed to get him in and out the shower. Although, she had to mostly poured water from a bowl, but he was fully bathed.

She dropped him on the bed and went to take a bath again. She was curled up in bed later. Ethan rolled over to her and dropped his hand over her body and later on, his legs.

*************************

Caitlyn felt Pierce arise from the bed, she instantly woke up.

" Up already? " She muffled.

Pierce would have preferred to exit the room without the notice of his wife.

" Yeah, " He answered.

" How'd you sleep? "

" Well. You? "

" I slept well, " She rubbed his back and kissed it, " You should sleep her often. "

Pierce just wanted to go to work, " Have any plans for today? " he immediately changed the topic.

" Would probably replace my cologne. "

" I'll cashapp you later. "

Caitlyn smiled, " Thanks honey. "

Pierce paused behind the door, he haven't addressed his wife with that name for ages. Likewise her, but she occasionally brought it up.

He nodded and walked out of the room.

*******************

( CAITLYN'S POV )

Caitlyn laid slowly back to the bed. She was making progress, at least she thought she was, or maybe he thought she was.

She had gotten Pierce to sleep in her room after almost three weeks of sleeping separately, that was considered progress.

She heard her phone ding, it was an important text message. After replying it, she placed a smile on her face and went back to sleep, she was getting her husband back no matter what.

**********************

Beth had gotten up early, she had work to get to. Ethan also had work to get to but he was the boss's brother, he could show up at anytime.

Ethan was still asleep when she got up. After giving him an affectionate stare, she quietly dashed into the bathroom.

She returned to see Ethan standing by the window.

" Hey, " She wore a smile on her face.

" Where are you going? " Ethan's husky voice was heard.

" Ethan, it's workday and I have a job to get to. " She was naked, she moved to the wardrobe to fetch her clothes, " I mean, you also have work but... "

Ethan moved to her and shut the wardrobe before she could completely open it.

" You're not going anywhere, not now. " His words brushed her ears.
