The CEO's Rose

Chapter 142: Key to Shame

Bryce’s POV

A catchy song playing in the background, Bryce did his thing on the dance floor.

The beautiful blonde woman who was matching his every move followed his lead. The two of them doing borderline illegal things out in public. Pulling her close, Bryce let her feel how hard he was, how she was affecting him. The moment she felt his hardness, the woman grinned wide and moved against his groin even more deliberately. How lovely, what a responsive little thing she was. frёewebηovel.cѳm

He was going to give her the time of her life, not for her enjoyment, but for his own. By now he normally would have already had some mediocre sex with Vivian Rose. But she was still acting like a nun and Bryce was sick and tired of her keeping him at arm’s length.

Sure he had upped the number of insults that he threw her way. But they were not yet at the point where he could start bringing up her low sex drive. So to satisfy himself and reduce the chances of him saying something ill-advised, he was making sure to always have as much sex as possible before he had to meet up with Vivian.

Leaving the club with the woman,(he did not even remember her name). Bryce took her to the alley a few blocks from the club and had his way with her.

When he was done with the woman, Bryce tucked himself into his pants and walked away. Leaving the dissatisfied woman to finger herself to completion, ( he had gotten what he wanted so she could handle her own business).

Her face already forgotten by the time that he got into his car. Bryce was thinking of only one woman, a very annoying woman...Vivian Rose.

When they had been dating, it had been so easy to forget her. But now that was proving impossible. In the months that they had been apart, she had learned to play hard to get like a pro. But now Bryce’s patience was wearing thin.

In their next meeting, he would be sure to teach her her place.

On the outing that they were currently having, Bryce was on his best behavior.

He had only insulted Vivian’s choice in food twice and had made fun of her outfit only one time,( which seriously, who was she trying to impress by wearing a dress that brought out her curvy figure...tch).

Vivian, as was now the norm, was doing her best impression of a zombie. Answering and reacting to everything that Bryce did with grunts and groans. Not letting that deter him, Bryce made sure to give her a few compliments here and there. Things like telling her how passable she looked in the too tight dress that she was wearing. That he was glad she had covered up instead of exposing her cleavage like a common whore, like he had seen her do sometimes.

He even complimented her lipstick, telling her how great it would make her lips look if she were to suck on his cock.

For some reason, Vivian had stopped eating completely after that one.

With their meal over, Bryce would have normally been on his way home. But he had decided that it was finally time for him to kick things up a notch. Ever since he had come back into Vivian’s life, he had been letting her set the pace. Letting her think that she actually had the authority to ban him from following her to her place.

Now though, Bryce had followed her all the way to the door and he was standing next to her waiting for Vivian to open it so that he could go inside with her.

"Goodbye Bryce," She said pointedly, her keys held in one hand. Raising a brow, he smiled at her, and made no move to leave. Loving the flash of unease he saw in her eyes. Did she really think it would be so easy to send him away?

"How about before I go, you give me a kiss for good luck?"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Bryce was leaning towards her.

His mouth puckered, his eyes closed. Having expected the motion to be met by Vivian pressing her own lips against his. Bryce was instead shocked to feel pain in his chest. Opening his eyes.

He looked down and blinked, Vivian was pressing her hand against his chest. The keys that she was holding, digging in to him painfully.

He looked into her eyes and there was no fear there. Instead there was a steady determination that he had never seen before.

Bryce did not like it at all.

The Vivian that he had carefully worn down would have returned his kiss. Who was this woman who was digging her keys into his chest? Where was all this self confidence coming from, and why wouldn’t it diminish no matter how hard Bryce tried to destroy it?!

"As I have told you before, Bryce, we are nothing more than just two people who spent time together sometimes. We are not doing anything romantic,"

She shoved at him and it was shock more than anything else that made Bryce step back.

Before he could shake off how stunned he was, Vivian was leaving him where he stood. She quickly opened her apartment door and then locked it behind herself. Leaving him standing there, not quite able to believe what had just happened.

Feeling like every single person who lived in the apartment building had witnessed his shame, Bryce hurried to remedy the situation.

"It is fine, absolutely fine Vivian, I understand, you will try again next time. Who knows, I might actually let you kiss me then!" Laughing loudly so that if anybody was nearby they would hear him clearly. He began walking away from Vivian’s place. The smile on his face instantly disappearing as he did so. An angry expression taking its place.

How dare she! How dare she!
