TABOO LOVE

Young journalist Isabella Jones is tasked with speaking with Robert Woods, the charismatic and influential CEO of Woods Enterprises. Given that Woods is extremely reclusive and rarely grants interviews, Isabella is anxious about the interview. She is adamant, though, that she will give it her all and get the story. When Isabella shows up at Woods' office on the day of the interview, she is immediately terrified by his presence. He is far more appealing than she had anticipated, and he exudes authority. But Isabella is determined to stand her ground and refuse to be intimidated by him. The interview goes well, and Isabella is successful in getting Woods to reveal some useful information. She is shocked by her attraction to him as well, though. She is aware that she should avoid him, but she still finds herself pulled to him. As Isabella gets to know Woods better, she begins to see that he is not the stolid, ruthless businessman she had assumed. In actuality, he is nice, humorous, and caring. Despite the fact that she is aware their connection is illegal, Isabella starts to fall for him. Woods also begins to feel something for Isabella, but he hesitates to express it out of concern for what might happen to her career. The two of them, however, are unable to resist their attraction to one another, and they subsequently begin a covert romance. They have to keep their employment a secret from everyone, which complicates their relationship. Nevertheless, they are adamant about making it work, and they eventually figure out how to be together without jeopardizing their professional success.

CHAPTER 20

In my bed, I squeal and bounce around. Why the heck not! Is he attempting to murder me? What makes him say that?

"Mr. Woods, you're a pervert." -IsaBella 

"Ms. Jones, you adore it." -Robert 

I laugh like a schoolgirl and turn to look at Nate, but he is not there. Hoping he didn't go to work today, I leap out of bed. I rush into the kitchen and see him using his iPad and a cup of coffee.

"Nate," I exclaim. "Why aren't you at work?" I asked.

He grins, "Your date offered me the day off before you two went to the charity event.

I grin as I go around the desk and repeatedly kiss his checks. He chuckles and fumbles to free his face from my hold.

"El," he chuckles. "I'm making an effort to complete the tasks Victoria gave me this month." I stroll up to the chair next to him and give him one last messy kiss on the lips. Someone is happy, it seems.

I grin as I gulp down my juice. I guess it's just one of those mornings, I dunno.
