Chapt °2 Dinner Party

I can't get my mind off the fact that after Killian and I finally had sex yesterday, then he kicked me out of his office.

Nope not today.

I need to forget about stupid Killian and just host the party I've already invited everyone at work to.

Nice going Marisa,

We had a bet that if I could get Killian to come then everybody would show up and owe me a $100 each, Now everyone is going to show up and not seek Killian, it feels like fucking highschool all over again.

I take a sip of my beer and look around my apartment. The music is on and I've made enough guacamole to feed a small army. There's exotic fruits and snacks. Catering crew pulling out of the driveway. They just delivered the cooler of Rice and Chicken.

My friend Rachel is over, and we're ready for a night of fun, I hope "Don't worry love" Rachel says as she gets up to give me a comforting hug, "You always throw the best parties"

"Thanks Rach" I say into her shoulder.

Rachel and I have been friends since grade school and we're pretty close. We even went to college together.

I know that Rachel's seen the worst of me. In high school, I had a reputation as the town slut. Totally not true but I wasn't the type of girl to change what others think of me, Rachel was the only person that chose to really know me, and we remained friends, she didn't care about the rumors about how many guys I'd slept with, I never had to defend anything with her because she knew it wasn't true.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She asks. I look down at my hands.

"It's not really anything." I say. "Just stupid guy drama."

She smiles and takes a sip of her wine. "Ah, let me guess" she says, "Killian?" "Did you finally nail him?"

I groan and nod my head.

"Well, I finally nailed him." I tell her. Her face turns somber and she looks down at her feet.

"I take it, it didn't go well?, Why is he less than three inches, does he cry?, Or he's got some kinds secret dungeon in his office?!"

"Oh, no. That's not it." I say.

"Then what is it?" She asks, her eyebrows raising in concern.

"It was amazing, like the best sex I've ever had, but he told me to get out right after, and he won't be coming to my dinner" I tell her.

"Oh my gosh!, You really like him, I don't think I've ever seen you mope over a guy" She says.

"What am I going to do Rachel, I hate feeling this way"

She laughs and puts a hand on my shoulder. "If things don't work out with you and Killian, you and I can become a thing, we can start a whole YouTube channel together and buy a dozen houses on the hills" she jokes as she splashes water around

"Hey, Best friends can live forever without stupid boys and men!

"Oh god, please tell me you're joking"

I say rolling my eyes at her snarkiness

"I'm serious, if you ever feel the need to get your rocks off, just come over, I have a nice vibrator we can use, some nice strapons, a beautiful pole, we'll do some shots, and then you can go home" she says, winking at me.

"That's so sweet, Rachel. Thank you." I laugh sarcastically at the very thought. "Now, enough of the Killian talk, the doorbell is ringing, and we're expecting company soon. Hopefully not bitchy mc Nicole"

"Who the hell is that?" Rachel asks.

"You know, the girl who's always hanging off of Killian's arm?"

"Oh yeah, the hot one. What's her problem again?"

"She's just a total bitch and she's perfect, so nobody thinks she's a total bitch" I shrug, "Plus She's not that hot." I add

Rachel laughs.

"Yeah, I've seen her. She's totally hot."

"Shut up" I laugh

I walk to the door and open it to reveal my friend Trey.

"Trey!", I shout, throwing my arms around him.

"Hey" He grunts, wrapping his arms around me.

Trey wastes no time rushing to Rachel's already open arms, they're the most pda couple I know

"Hey sexy, how have you been?" He says picking her up and placing her on the couch rest

"I'm good" She says, kissing him.

"Alright, enough of the kissing, I'm hungry, let's have some snacks before people start arriving" I say.

"Fine, fine" Trey says, pulling away from Rachel.

"I'll set out some plates, you can start bringing stuff out" I say.

"You know, this is kind of unfair." Rachel says.

"Why do we have to get the food and stuff while you sit back and relax?"

"Because I'm the hostess" I reply, smiling at her.

"You're the hostess, not a queen. We're the servants?" Trey asks

"Oh shut up." I say, smacking him playfully on the arm.

"Ouch, your Claws nicked me, you fish." He laughs, rubbing the spot where I hit him.

"I'll bite you next time" I threaten, winking at him.

He looks at me and shakes his head, laughing.

"So, are you ready for the big day tomorrow?" He asks.

"No, not at all." I answer.

"What are you nervous about?" Rachel asks, looking at me curiously.

"I don't know, I'm just not a huge fan of a room full of rich warewolves I need to impress. It's not easy"

"Oh please, I could handle that blindfolded" Rachel says.

"Well, you're a lot braver than I am. I think I'm going to vomit"

"You'll be fine" Rachel reassures me.

***

It's the hour for dinner and everybody at work p

Arrived, including Nicole

"Hi Nicole" I greet her with a smile.She sneers at me.

Mc bitch

"I didn't realize that you'd invited her." Rachel mutters beside me.

"Oh, well. I figured it would be nice for her to see a familiar face." I say.

"She hates you." Rachel whispers.

"Yeah, well. I hate her too. So, I guess we're even." I whisper back.

"This is a lovely house" Nicole says, her eyes roaming around the room.

"Thanks. I bought it with my own money"

"Oh, really. What a surprise." She Snickers.

I roll my eyes at her.

"Nicole, why don't you come sit down. I'm sure everyone would love to hear about how you've been doing." I say as I usher her to the living room where our peers are discussing

"I won't stay long, we were promised Killian would be here, and he's not" she huffs as she takes slow steps to the living room.

"Why don't you just ask him yourself, he's coming down the stairs" Rachel points.

"Oh, great" Nicole says, "I'm going to go talk to him, you have a wonderful dinner."

"Killian's not here Rachel, what are you up to?' I whisper

She just shrugs.

"Trey set up a birthday prank upstairs, you're cool with pranks and all, but lil mc bitch might not want to keep her Victoria secret dress covered with the Louis Vuitton umbrella obviously stuck way up her...."

Rachel starts to laugh and I shake my head.

"Oh my God, he's so evil. You guys are evil "

"I know. But it's gonna be epic. Nicole's gonna flip her shit, take as a birthday gift from us."

"Since we're on the topic of gifts " An all too familiar wave of fresh air hit Rachel and I from behind, I spin around to the face that owned that deep voice "Killian?"

"Oh my god! what are you doing here? " I say crossing my arms across my chest "I thought you said you couldn't make it"

"I can't make it, but I thought it fit to wish you a happy birthday in person " He leans forward and whispers with his hands in his pocket "Happy birthday Marisa"

I turn to face Rachel who's trying her best to not look like she's been caught.

"Now that's done, I need to use your restroom before I leave" Killian says walking upstairs

"That's the second floor, straight ahead " Rachel says pointing at the stairs.

As soon as he's out of sight, Rachel and I are giggling uncontrollably.

"Wait, omg" Rachel says pointing behind me and I spin around to see Nicole giggling with someone else

"She never went upstairs did she?" I close my eyes bracing myself for the right answer

"Nope" Rachel squeels like a child trying to hold in pee "Quickly go stop him before he gets there" she says pushing me to tye stairs

"Killian" I shout before he reaches the top of the stairs, but it's too late, Trey's and Rachel's prank setup of ice cold water and Coffee powder along with plates of whipped cream we dumped on Killian's body as he triggered the prank when he stepped on the top stair, it was meant for Nicole, but now its all over the walls and Killian's drenched with the coffee powder.

"Fuck" Killian curses under his breath. Normally that sounds igniting, now it just sounds like trouble.

He walks down the stairs. Everyone staring everyone from work is present at my house and Killian looks absolutely furious as he stares at me. Part of me is happy that this happened, might be payback for kicking me out of his office half naked after we had sex , part of me is also worried that he and I might become the joke at the office, because of me.

"Killian, I'm sorry" Is all I can say as everybody's eyes remain on us

"Come with me!." He says grabbing my hand and pulling me up the stairs with him harshly

"Killian, listen" I try to calm him down as he pulls me into my room and slams the door shut

"Killian, I am So Sorry, the prank was meant for me, Trey and Rach..."

"Take it off" he demands

"W...what?"

"Take everything off"

"But, Killian"

"I don't like repeating myself, Marisa"

"Killian, I can explain"

"There's nothing to explain, take it all off now, or I will have you take it off outside"

I reach for is collar and unbutton his shirt from collar bone to waist, I look at him and he has his unreadable expression on again.

With a quick sigh he pulls his shirt off his arms and let's it drop on the shag carpet in my room

"Everything Marisa" he orders crossing his arms all over his bare chest.

I undo his belt and pull it off his waist, without looking at him this time I unbutton and unzip his pants, pulling them down to his ankles

I reach and pull his soaked boxers off his body, letting them drop along with his pants and shoes

I feel my mouth dry, his member standing in attention. He steps out of the pile adding his socks and shoes to the pile

"Run me a bath then Wash, rinse twice and iron" he says walking to my bed tying my sheets around his waist

"Wait, You want me to wash your clothes?"

"Isn't English your first language" he fires back taking a seat on my bed, man spreading as usual.

Dipshit!

I walk to the bathroom, turn on the shower, and wait for the water to get warm.

I come out of the bathroom a few minutes later, the steam from the water rolling down my body and I see Killian lying in the middle of my bed.

"Killian, the bath is ready." I say, watching him get up and walk towards me.

"Good" He says stoping in front of me and stares down at me.

"You've got something to say to me?" He asks.

I shake my head.

Other than get out?

"Are you sure?" He asks.

"No, but I'm sorry."

"That's not what I want to hear." He says.

"Then, what do you want to hear?" I ask.

"I want to hear the truth."

"The truth?" I ask.

"Yes" He says. I swallow and stare up at him.

"I'm not sorry, maybe you do deserve what happened to you for treating me like shit"

He laughs and sighs with relief

"At least you're honest" He says "Now, are you ready to get me out of this coffee powder, or do I have to force you?"

"What?! No, I'm not going to bathe you Killian"

"Then, I'm not leaving this room and neither are you" I wonder what your neighbors would think if I laid in your bed yelling out random shit with the curtains wide open"

"What? no! You can't do that"

"Try me" He dares.

"You wouldn't"

"I will, now are you going to give me a bath, or not?"

"Fine"

"Good girl"

He throws the sheets on the floor and walks into the bathroom naked.I follow behind him closing the bathroom door.

"Shower first or Tub?" I ask avoiding his nakedness.

"Tub"

I walk to the tub and turn off the shower head, then plug the drain. We both get into the tub and I reach for the sponge as I drop my peach bath bombs in the tub of warm water.

"Are you shy?" He asks cocking his head sideways as I avoid eye contact with him, I can't help but stare at the water dripping down his body, and how hard his nipples are

"Nope"

"Good, cuz your shirt is washing out color into the bath, and you need to take it off" He leans forward smiling devilishly at me

"You can have the bath", he says hoping in to the shower and turning on the faucet, I just sit in the bath and watch him shampoo his neck length hair, scrub his armpits..... Wait why am I watching him shower ?

I quickly get out the bathtub with my soaking we clothes and tiptoe to the laundry room right next to my bathroom, here I change my wet clothes. I take Killian's clothes from the washing machine and them into the dryer

When I walk into the bedroom, I see Killian sitting naked on my bed.

"Why are you naked again?" I ask covering my face

"What am I supposed to wear, your G strings?" He smirks as he spins my panties on his finger

I ignore him and grab a towel, throwing it at him

"Cover up"

"I thought you weren't shy"

"I'm not, but I'm tired of seeing your naked body"

"Oh, that hurts" He says putting a hand on his chest. He says throwing the towel to the floor and walking close to me

"Are you going to keep staring or are you going to kill this tension"

"I don't want to"

"Are you sure?"

He takes a step closer, and I take a step back.

"I know you want to" he teases

"What makes you think that?"

"Well for one, your face is turning pink, and I can hear your heart beating faster"

"Killian, stop"

"Stop what"He closes the gap between us, pressing his body against mine.

"Don't"

"Why?"

"We're at my house, with everyone downstairs, my friend and my coworkers"

"So?"

"So, it's not right."

"And why not"

"It's just not"

"Oh, but it's different when it's in my office?. Marisa, look at me"

I look up at him and he smiles down at me.

"I've got places to be in 30 minutes so please don't burn my shirt while ironing it"

"What?"

"My clothes, iron them"

"Where are you going?"

"Why do you care"

"Killian"

"What, Relax I'm on your balcony"

"Well at least warp a fucking towel!" I yell as he sits on my balcony swing naked.

***

"I got to ironing Killian's Clothes as he swung naked on my balcony staring at the city's view. He has a meeting tonight with some potential diamond costumers, one of them is a partner who will be at the meeting on Monday. The presentation I've spent my last months preparing for. I don't know all the details I'm not his Personal Assistant, I'm just HR.

I stare at the floor, ironing his neck tie when I feel his gaze on me, I wasnt wrong he's now facing the bedroom with the glass ceiling to floor glass door being the only thing between me and this Naked devil.

"What?"

"Nothing." He said smirking

"Then why are you staring at me?"

"I like your new hair."

I rolled my eyes and continued to iron his clothes. I don't have a new hairstyle, it's in the same style but its now dyed a darker red. I'm not a fan of my natural dull red color.

"Is it done?" He asked wrapping one of my outdoor furniture towels opening the sliding glass door wide

"I have a closet full of other suits, go change if you're in a hurry. I have more pressing matters than your wardrobe." I spat feeling the cool breeze from the wide open door

I was ironing his pants when he came in and took the iron putting it aside and then the next thing I knew he had me pinned on the ironing board and his lips are dangerously close to mine.

I was surprised. I have no idea why I am, this is just another moment in the day for Killian.

"You've been avoiding me. I can't stand it anymore Marissa"

"I've been avoiding you?, We had sex for the first time in a long time and you kicked me out of your office"

"Didn't you say you wanted things to be casual between us, So what's the issue Marissa?"

Blame my poor flirting skills on that mistake

"Marissa I don't want this to affect your performance on Monday so, please, get whatever you need to get off your chest"

"Oh, I don't know how bout we start from the beginning, when my best friend who told me he had feelings for me and became my boyfriend, then he randomly decided to snub me his girlfriend, and publicly dump me for Nicole the stupid bitch who bullied me everyday on prom night"

I remember that stupid night like it was yesterday, I've argued with Killian before , I never win, I'll always end up crying because he doesn't understand.

"You're still mad about highschool prom Marissa?"

"Well maybe it's not just prom, maybe it's that you left without a trace after graduation, maybe it's because you couldn't stay out of my life after all that and somehow your Dad gave me the job opportunity I desperately needed, maybe it's because out of your three brothers I had to come work for you, I had to see your stupid face everyday and work beside stupid Nicole everyday and I still stupidly fell in love with you all over again, maybe it's because I'm just a dumbass slut"

There I said it

He didn't say anything, I was afraid he would laugh at me like he always does, or ignore me like he always does or leave like he always. I was afraid I would beg him to stay and he would do the worst possible thing and say NO.

But instead he kissed me. He kissed me hard. He kissed me with passion. He kissed me so fiercely I lost control.The last time I felt that kind of feeling was when we were dating in highschool.

My body responded. My heart pounded.

"Marissa I've waited 8 years to tell you something" He started.

I couldn't think straight, his kiss made my brain foggy

"Tell me what?"

"Not yet Marissa, let's get through the presentation first"
