Chapter 4

*****

"Well Ms Carson, I see this is a bad time? Are you not in the mood to talk?"

Oh fùck! "Shìt, I am so sorry sir, I did not...crap!"

What she wanted to ask was why the fuck are you, of all people, calling me from a private number, but she bit her tongue.

"I hope you wash out that pretty mouth of yours before work tomorrow morning Ms Carson because believe me, I will not hesitate to punish you if I hear another curse word come out your mouth. That's a promise!" And with that, the line went dead.

Kaia almost choked on her spit when what her boss said registered in her mind. She thought about it for a minute or two and found the image of it really arousing. Wait, shouldn't she want to chop his balls off like she wanted to do with Mike what's-his-face? Shouldn't she at least be disgusted at the man for even suggesting to put a hand on her?

Deal with it Kay, you like it, her mind spat back and she silently cursed her mind.

She must have zoned out for a while because she did not notice Jen staring until she obstructively cleared her throat, an obvious ploy to grab her attention. And thank the Lord she did that when she did, because her thoughts were going too far and she was starting to feel uncomfortable in her seat.

Smiling up at Jen Kaia said, "I got the job!" Her friend's face lit up and she shuffled over to her and hugged her. She wanted to scream and do the happy-dance but with how sore her body was and the fact that Kim was sleeping peacefully on her hospital bed, she settled for just the hug.

"I should go home and try to clean up the mess we left behind. I will call you as soon as I can."

Jenny warned her to wake up early the next day. The girl was not a morning person and she had a horrible tendency of doing things at a snail's pace when she was grumpy. Kaia let out a real laugh and promised to do as her friend said.

As soon as she set foot in her now quiet apartment, she dropped her keys on the kitchen counter and went to work cleaning the kitchen and living room. She then went on to do the laundry. The whole time, her mind was in overdrive.

She had reached all the goals she had promised her therapist she would achieve by her twenty fifth birthday but here she was, two years early. This was a good thing but it also fućking sucked. This meant she had to face her therapist again so they could put up more goals and seeing that her career was taken care of, she knew what was next.

She was going to have to sit through lengthy sessions with her therapist bìtching on about her letting go and trying to get a man and settle down. She really was not in the mood but with how much the older woman had helped her in her time of need, she knew whatever she pushed her to do would only be for her own good.

Deciding not to think about it anymore, she called Jen to check on her and Kim as she worked on making herself a light dinner. After Jen gave her another lecture about sleeping early and all that, she hung up and ate her steak,mashed potatoes and green beans.

She prepared her outfit in advance, just in case she woke up late, then she got ready for bed. She was all giddy about work but her mood died down when she thought about seeing that dìck Mike and then with what her boss said over the phone, her mood just kept dying.

She would have to play far from those two because with Mike there was the fear of hurting him as soon as she saw his disgusting face and possibly going to jail for murder and with Beau, she had a feeling she would end up jumping him if they were ever alone.

That only worked to make her more pissed. She had seen lots of beautiful men who had made passes at her in her past but unlike Beau Navarro, they​ never made her feel like a sex-starved nymphomaniac. But here was this gorgeous man she had only talked to twice, one of those times being over the phone, and all of a sudden she was battling to fight thoughts of him spanking her out of her mind.

He might have been much more mature than all the other man, and he was gorgeous in a more dangerously sexy way, but him being arrogant like the rest of them should be a turn off for her. From what she had read, he was supposedly a major womanizer and she decided she would stay far away.
