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 22

In a split second, as my heart rate increases, my eyes fly to his. What, like out on a date?" I gulp.

He laughs and releases his grip from my behind. Instead, he seizes my hands and lays them on his bare chest while refusing to release them.

He nods, "Yes, like on a date." We'll go out to dinner once I pick you up.

One single question is driving my body nuts. But as much as I want to say yes, I'm not sure if I should or can. I pull my hands away from his and lean against the door with my back.

I bite my lip and say, "I don't know, Robert."

He holds my hips and shoves his body up against mine while glaring, "Why not?"

I mutter, "I just—" "I don't think it is a good idea."

He asks, tilting his head to the side. "And why's that?"

"Because I'm fairly certain that your only desire is for sex, and I'm not doing that with you on our first date," she said.
