“ Daddy had given me a set rules to follow. And I plan to disobey every single one of them.” Alec’s entire life was flipped by the mystery man who sipped on slowly on scotch. Three days was all it took to get him hooked and needing more. And then all of a sudden, mystery man disappears, leaving behind a fake name, and bundles of cash, like Alec was some sort of call boy. But Alec cannot stop thinking about him. So he follows the thin trail he left behind, the need to find him and prove something to him was primal. After all, Daddy had called him, his little good boy. But could Alec handle all of him?
view moreHe never showed up that night.The coffee I was loading into my system wasn’t half as bitter as I am feeling, yet I needed the coffee to stay awake. I didn’t have to rush to work today, and all I did as I wait for Lady Rockbell’s driver, is to almost drown myself in coffee and stare at my phone. Not a single text or call.I lift my eyes out the cafe window, hoping to enjoy the scenery, it was still summer, the skies were blue above us, and tourists littered the place, for the first time I was envious of them, I was as care free as they are few hours ago. Flashing headlights snatch my attention, a Mercedes with tinted windows, an obvious tell, Lady Rockbell’s driver was here for me. She had also given me instructions to come to this cafe and wait, she didn’t even listen to me when I asked if I could drive myself there. I finish the last dregs of my lukewarm coffee, pick up the to go order and head out the door and into the sunlight. The drive is short and terse, the driver sa
“You convinced her?” Gunther says with pure disbelief coming through the speakers of my phone.She borrowed a leaf from you, threatening me, only she took it a step further, threatening my life. I say in my head. “I expect Alec to handle every single detail, I know your finger prints Shepherd, the second I see them on my project, I will be calling it off.” Lady Rockbell says to Gunther, she had asked me to put the call on speaker phone, I was hesitant, she left me no choice. Gunther stays silent, debating the entire thing in his head, if it were up to him, this would be all the work I would do.“I would oversee it.”“The second I see your handwork, I will be pulling the plug, don’t make me repeat myself, Shepherd.” The call disconnects after that, I assume Gunther must be feeling worse than frustrated with the situation. “My assistant will contact you with the details of my schedule, you can see yourself out.” She announces, her eyes returning to the pile on her table.I feel
“I would very much recommend you leave this to your boss, he has been here longer, and he can deal with his brother better than you can.” Ash advises, her eyes peering out of the car towards the building that should be the office of Lady Rockbell. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting, but it wasn’t this. The building was just after the road, with enough foot and car traffic, large, but welcoming, my mind for some reason plays a different, alternate way I would have designed the building. I shake the thoughts quickly as they come. “It looks like she could be selling cup cakes.”“Or drugs.” Ash deadpans, finally dragging her eyes away from the building to me.I continue to peer at the building, hoping to find a glimpse of her car, or her cut throat gray jacket. “My job hangs on this.”“Your team leader could talk to your brother, that is very lucky actually. Seriously, Lady Rockbell is bad news, if Gunther couldn’t talk her into staying, what do you think you could do?” I shrug, “I wo
Christopher was right, his brother was willing to do anything and everything. If he knew about my parents, he must have done his research, I wonder what else he found out. I tuck my knees together, I had to be really careful from here out. “Why do you have to cut my team if I don’t do it, you can simply just remove me from the job.” They told me it was all a ploy, and that he wanted to remove Christopher from the company, I had to hear it from him, I needed him to admit it was only because he hated his brother.“Your team barely makes any profit with the rubbish redesigning they do now, the only reason your team is still here is because mine makes enough to cover your losses, and I am done with that. Pull your weight or get cut.” He says this in a razor sharp way that makes me realize this is real life, I was no longer in the cocoon of the resort, real things like this happened every day. His words swim around my head. It would be up to me to save the team from Gunther’s misplaced w
“What if I get caught?” I bit my lip in worry, eyes on the entrance, watching for the manager, we rarely ever crossed paths personally since there was no reason for that.“But what if you don’t?” He gave me the confident, lazy smirk that, without fail, made my knees weak.Grabbing me by my shoulders, he leaned in to whisper in my ear, “You can do anything little Alec, I believe in you.” Without waiting for my response, he thrusts me into the room they kept the keys to the golf carts. I worked on auto pilot after that, adrenaline fueling me, my movements which would have been stiff moved fluidly. My fingers swiping the keys, and when we rode around in it, cackling and laughing, my heart kept beating crazily inside of my chest. Later, we laid awake in bed, chuckling to ourselves, still high on adrenaline, I asked him,“Why did we have to do that? We could have used your pass.”His big shoulders shrugged, bumping into mine.“Corrupting you is fun.”Then he pulled me to himself, where o
Nobody could tell you how awkward it gets when you are asked to moan on the spot, because nobody ever does it.I was so self conscious the entire time, the sounds I made did not sound anything pleasant at all. The tips of my ears turned red, and it spread to rest of my body. Maybe that was why he disappeared in the middle of the night without a word. Again.I sigh as my truck rolls to a stop in the parking lot of our team building. I am hesitant to step out of the car this morning. It took everything in me not to stay back home today and feign the flu or something. He had chuckled after I made the first few awkward sounds last night.“Relax yourself, little Alec.”I swallowed a piece of chicken, desperate to do well for him, I ended up sounding like a dying animal. Then he laughed, I made a sound of desperation at the back of my throat. He waved me away. “Did you think about me a lot today?” He asked out of nowhere.“Every second.” I answered without thinking.He held my gaze for s
He had never touched me down there. I was certain I would explode the day he tried. The message he sent had me reacting like did touch me. I jumped to my feet, blinking over and over again to make sure I wasn’t dreaming, my over active mind didn’t conjure up a text like this. I read it out loud to myself, and immediately goosebumps covered my skin. “Holy shit. He does want to make us dinner… make dinner for me..” I almost squeal.I jump into action, the kitchen wasn’t dirty, however, Christopher was going to use it, so of course I double clean. Scrubbing every surface till it winked at me like they did in cartoons. By the time I was done, it was almost time. “Shit. shit.” I cuss silently. I still hadn’t put the drinks in ice. I hurriedly do that, and dash into the bathroom. We didn’t use the living room last night, I assume the same would happen tonight. I really should stop assuming.He was in the living room by the time I was out. Dressed in all black this time. My jaw drops an
We had walked the entire way back to my apartment in silence. Not the awkward type, considering what he said to me earlier. But the kind that spoke volumes. Both of us in our own heads. Inside of my head was the memory of his hands on my shoulders playing in an endless loop. He immediately draped a towel over my head once we entered the apartment, he even ruffled through my closet for a change of clothes, stopping when he found a T shirt I have owned for at least four years, and a short. “Change into these and fast. I don’t want you catching a cold.”Like always, my body obeyed his instructions, I walked into the bathroom, my body flaming hot just thinking about the fact that he was on the other side of the door. I prayed for the door to open-- I left it unlocked, and he would walk in, but he didn’t. The door stayed shut the entire time. Dumping my wet clothes in the laundry basket, I emerged from the bathroom, to find that he too had changed into one of my old T shirts, it was obv
The water welcomes me like a long lost lover. Everything slowed and dimmed as I plunged into the dark, and cold water. I surface quickly, only after I hear a large splash, telling me that he had also jumped in. His chuckle is carefree, the sound of it loosened something in my chest, and I search around for him. under a sliver of moonlight, he bobbed up. His shirt clung to his muscles, leaving nothing to the imagination. Forcing my eyes to his face, I am taken aback by what I see. The man in front of me looked exactly like the man I met. He had a carefree laugh on his face that swallows that his eyes. It wasn’t obvious how small his eyes were until he actually laughed. His chest puffing in and out from his laugh. “It’s not the right context for that word, unless you were trying to never see me ever again.” I say, wanting the conversation to stay this way, nonsense and weightless, like back at the resort. “Really? I thought I nailed it.” He guffawed at his mistake. Now I was the one
“How do I mourn what never lived?”The song’s singer must have followed me the entirety of last week, since that was how I felt. I had known him for a total of three days. And it took me three seconds to drown in his eyes, and even less to get me hooked. His rough hands as he peeled my clothes off. The heat of his mouth as he captured my mouth in his. His soft groans as he ordered me to touch him. The feel of him against my hands. I groan out loud. The memories had stirred something down there. I had never felt like this for anybody. My body naturally responded to the curve of his, when we laid in bed together, His large arms around me, we… fit. “This never happened.”It did. My body that shook from thoughts of him reminded me. “Forget me.”How could I possibly? It was the best three days of my life. I was able to be myself for those three days. He laughed at my jokes, completed some of them. He watched me like I was the best thing that ever happened to earth. He listened to ...
