Tempted by Your Kiss

Ava Morales pressed her palm against the glass window of her new office, staring at the golden view of the ocean below. The Azure Haven Resort shimmered under the late afternoon sun — a dream she had worked for years to reach. “First day, Ava,” she whispered to herself, smiling nervously. “Don’t mess this up.” She turned when she heard the door open. Her new assistant entered, followed by a tall man in a tailored gray suit. Ava froze. She had seen him before — in the company’s magazine, in headlines, in interviews. Liam Carter, CEO of Azure Haven. His gaze was sharp but magnetic, like gravity itself had shifted toward him. “So you’re our new marketing executive,” he said, voice smooth but firm. “Welcome to the team, Ms. Morales.” Their handshake lingered — just a second too long. Electricity sparked between their skin. Ava felt it, and judging by the slight pause in Liam’s expression, he did too. When he finally let go, Ava’s heart was already racing. Days turned into weeks,. Meeting, reports, deadlines - yet every time Liam entered the room, Ava's composure faltered. He never said much, but his glances were enough to make her heart trip.
