Forbidden Thirst

5.Moving in.

The twins had managed to get the delivery guy to pack and unload everything into my new condo. I was currently on the highest floor, which had only three rooms—one exclusively mine and the others for the twins.

I noticed that there weren't many employees around whom I had seen at work, but I decided to brush it aside.

My room was situated between the two, and I was absolutely amazed by the beautiful view before me. Apart from my office, this was the second most beautiful thing I'd ever seen, with a glass view.

As I admired the scenery, Hayden's voice caught me off guard.

"How are you liking your condo thus far?" he asked. Seeing the twins wearing casual clothing was something I'd never imagined, even if it's just been a few days working with them. They were so workaholic that I imagined them sleeping in their suits. Luckily, I was also wearing proper clothing; I had a bad habit of walking around not properly clothed, and he would've probably been disgusted to see me naked.

"I love it!" I showed him my excitement.

"This is only the beginning, love. Enjoy it. There's a lot more you'll come to experience working for us; this is only the tip of the iceberg," Hunter said, walking into my room as well with a bottle of wine in his hand.

I didn't miss the word "love" as he spoke to me. As if realizing my dilemma, Hayden spoke up.

"That's how we address others whom we consider to be close associates of ours and loved ones. There's no need to jump to conclusions," he reassured me.

I nodded my head, although it felt quite weird since we had only known each other for a few days, except for that night.

"What's the occasion for?" I pointed to the glass in his hand.

I didn't want to drink, remembering what had happened the night before when I had too much to drink.

"It's just to celebrate you joining our company. We'd normally do this for our new employees. Other department heads would do this for their new staff members, but you work for us, and as you can see, there was much work that needed to be done. Now seems to be a good time," Hayden explained.

"Thank you, but you two go ahead and drink without me. I'll be fine," I told them.

"The wine is for you, Lily. There's no need for us to drink it without you. It's your celebration, of course," Hunter spoke, but I wasn't having it.

"I'd rather not, and I am happy for everything that both of you have granted me thus far, but I have bad experiences whenever I drink. I apologize, but I just can't," I told him.

"Apology accepted, but the wine is yours to use at your disposal whenever you please," Hunter said, placing the bottle on the table.

Hayden's question caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but feel a rush of embarrassment as his smirk hinted at a mischievous undertone. Meanwhile, Hunter's intense gaze seemed to penetrate straight through me, making me squirm uncomfortably under their scrutiny.

I blushed furiously, feeling as if my secret was laid bare before them. "I'd rather not say," I murmured, hoping to deflect their curiosity.

"You seem to be keeping a lot of secrets from us, Lily. Hopefully, soon you'll be comfortable enough to open up to us and share all of your... juices," Hayden's words trailed off, his suggestive tone causing my eyes to widen in disbelief.

Was I hearing right? Did he just imply what I think he did?

Quickly recovering, Hunter clarified, "What my brother means is juicy stories. But we understand that you're not comfortable, so it's fine."

Relieved by the clarification, I nodded in agreement, though a lingering sense of intrigue remained.

"There's just one other thing," I began, eager to change the subject. "If Olivia is your assistant, then why isn't she living here with us as well?" I questioned, a hint of curiosity tingeing my tone.

Hayden's explanation about Olivia's absence from the condo shed some light on the situation, though the mention of her obsession and subsequent relocation to another company apartment piqued my curiosity further. I made a mental note to tread carefully around Olivia, mindful not to inadvertently offend her.

I resumed unpacking my belongings, Hayden's unexpected question about Dillon caught me off guard. My phone, which had been vibrating, was now in his hand, the notification ceased.

"He's no one, sir," I replied, a hint of defensiveness creeping into my tone.

Hunter interjected gently, "There's no need to be formal, Lily. We're not in the office. You can just call us by our names."

Embarrassed by my formality, I sheepishly nodded. "Sorry, I'm just not used to the two of you outside of work."

Hunter offered reassurance, "Well, I'm a hundred percent sure you'll be getting used to us sooner than you think."

Hayden's subsequent comment, however, left me speechless. "We'll always be inside you to use at our disposal. You'll soon be on top of us as we scream you orders and boss you around," he said bluntly, his words sending a flush of heat to my cheeks.

Wait, what did he just say?

Struggling to compose myself, I blushed furiously, a nervous smile gracing my lips. "My brother means you'll be giving us orders soon," Hunter clarified, though his mischievous smile hinted at a deeper meaning behind his words. Despite my discomfort, I chose to brush off their remarks, determined to maintain a professional demeanor in the face of their suggestive banter.

"I must be thinking too much into it. Was my mind smutty, or did his words sound smutty?"

"I wish—me bossing two billionaires around? What could there be for me to teach the Steele businessmen? I think you two have passed the stages of learning," I smiled sheepishly while blushing.

I just could not for the life of me stop blushing.

"I'll bet you a drink in the coming future you'll be doing exactly as I've stated?" Hayden stated.

"Deal." I had no doubt I would not be bossing those two around. I might be smart, but I'm definitely not a genius, or I'd be rich.

"A human's capacity to learn can never end. Each day we learn something new. We take advice as well, and more than ever, we listen to those that are at the bottom, which makes up a percentage of why we're successful," Hunter said, which he did have a point.

I went back to my packing. "Why do you ask, Lily?" I was surprised to see Hayden answering my phone, to my utter shock, making me run to him to take my phone. Another big surprise was Hunter grabbing hold of me and pinning my back to his chest.

My bottom basically kept grinding on his rear end because of how he held onto my waist and pulled me to him. This position we were in now was making me blush completely, as the last time we were in this position, we had s*x.

Were my bosses this hands-on?

"Give me the phone." I tried taking it away from him but ended up only grinding on Hunter.

His hand held onto me tightly and securely. My body felt good in his arms; it felt as though time had stopped, as I could feel his succulent heat at the nape of my neck, sending my poor body into a heated frenzy for the billionaire who had taken my virginity.

By this time, Hayden had already told Dillon off and hung up the phone. I wasn't yet ready to forgive Dillon. He left me at the club, and I ended up sleeping with a stranger at the time when he promised to stay with me after begging me to go with him.

Suddenly, Hunter let me go, and I took my phone from Hayden's hand, not missing the spark I felt as my hand brushed against his.

"Why did you do that?" I questioned his actions.

"You said Dillon was no one, yet he kept on calling. I just wanted to make sure he was not harassing you," he explained.

"Well, don't. I may work for both of you, but at the end of the day, I'm not your concern," I told the two.

Hopefully, I didn't come off as rude, and they end up firing me.

"You're our concern from now on, Lily, whether you like it or not. If anything happens to you, that's on our hands. You work for us now, so you're our responsibility, whether you like it or not, love," Hunter responded, and I was taken aback by his and Hayden's sudden change in demeanor.
