His Lustful Obsession

Chapter 3

Shekinah’s POV

“I apologize for the delay, Mr Adrian,” I said, with an only-lip smile “Hope you didn’t wait long?”

“No, I just arrived. It would have been bad to keep a beautiful lady like you waiting so I’ll apologize for that” Adrian said, obviously trying to sweet talk me

I smiled but it disappeared almost the same way it came as we took a seat. The private waiter came in and filled two glasses with wine and placed it in front of us before moving back to the side where he had been standing since Shekinah got into the room.

“You look better than when I last saw you at the party” he tried to strike up a conversation with me mostly revolving around our little connection on the dance floor

“You are not so bad yourself, Mr. Adrian” I played the game, picking up and twirling the drink in the cup with an added smirk on my face as I took a sip

“I’m flattered. You can call me Adrian” he said

I said nothing and as though nothing happened a few minutes ago, I took out the file from the bag I carried.

 “I know it’s only business but we need to at least drink and chat a little, can’t we? We will be working together so it’s best we know at least a few things about ourselves” Adrian said 

Ah, yes. Mr. Adrian wants to know more about me. It's funny how he already does. But well, maybe now, he doesn't. With my composure in place, I paused, raised my  head and stared at him for a few seconds before nodding, then placed the file down at the side of the table, picking up my glass of wine. “So what do you need to know?” I asked, my eyes dull as I did

“Can we at least dance while we do that?” he asked

I stood up, placing my drink down without a word. Adrian practically jumped on his feet but if I wasn't looking at him keenly, I would have missed it. While dancing, I could feel his hand moving around my body, slow and it sent a lot of shivers through my body. I had restraints so I had to act like I was not being turned on by his erection which I could feel and his soft touches.

“One important thing I’m trying to understand is why someone as pretty, elegant, and confident as you are, will choose to work with King? He is known for destroying these qualities, if I remember correctly” he said, his charming smile accompanying it 

A smirk appeared on my lips. “If it were true, I would not have all those qualities you mentioned, would I?” I threw the words at him

“I can’t say no, can I?” I smiled, “You remember me, don’t you?” He was forced to say as I was not saying much

I nodded before saying. “Yes. Who doesn’t know, Adrian Alero’s proposal to Maureen” 

“No, not that. The party three days ago” He quickly said

I took my time to speak. I love seeing him be on his toes. Wondering what I'll say or do but most especially, wondering when I will fall for his charms. But this was just the beginning.

“It was a nice party. Dances are quite nice only if the man’s fiancee does not stare at them as though she wants to kill them” I finally spoke, making a slight jab at Maureen

“Oh, that. Maureen is quite protective of me. She likes to show people we are together. And jealousy is her thing. I would not blame her anyway. Who would not be so when you are engaged to me?”

Again, I waited some seconds to reply “Weakness causes jealousy. Insecurity is the fault of the man. Don’t you agree?” I said to go 

He was visibly confused but instead of explaining what I truly meant, I said, “You can tell her to stop doing that. You two are engaged. Trust is important” 

He nodded. “Certainly. You don't need to tell me twice. I'm someone every lady can trust”

I smiled concealing the laughter of mockery that would have come after his words “I can see that,” I said

He smiled at my comment then lowered his head to my ear before whispering. “But she isn't here now”

He stopped dancing, a sly smile on his face as he moved my hair to the side, his hand at the back of my neck. “You are beautiful” his voice husky and deep as he said the words

“I want to take you here and now” he added, without thinking

His hand did not just stop there. His other hand slowly went to my buttucks, firmly holding it and almost at the same time his erection pressed on me. He was a good flirt, I can give him that. “I know,” I said as the side of my lips went up

He made me  twirl then blocked me on the wall with one of his hands at the side of my face and the other around her waist.  “So what do you say? Let's have fun. I can make you feel more alive than you can ever be” he said

I knew that was what he wanted all along. In fact, with just his few moves I was growing wet. But where was the fun if I didn't play with him? I moved my lips closer to his and I knew he thought I would kiss him but I stopped halfway, placing my index finger on his lips. “Not today, Mr Adrain,” 

I could feel his breath and before I could change my mind, I moved away from him to the table. “If we are done dancing, let's sign the contract”

“Then we can make our fun closer to achieving” I added and he smiled

I grabbed the file that had been sitting idly for an hour and a half now. “Can we go back to business?”

He chuckled lightly at my sarcasm once more. “Very well, yes” he responded and I passed the file to him with a pen

He only glanced through a few lines before placing his signature all the while his eyes on me with a crazy smirk on his face. “I’ll treat you just right, Adrian” I thought to myself with a smile in place

He passed the documents to me and I immediately signed, placing it back in my bag.

“You’ll get your copy tomorrow,” I said and we shook hands

“This is the beginning of a new alliance. I hope to see you some more, Mr Adrain” She winked and walked away not waiting for my response
