Desperation and determination are two words that keep popping into my head as I bit my thumb in confusion, circling my office for almost half an hour now. I gulp at the sight of my laptop screen. "Should I do it? Should I re-register to SEXONITE or find a new community like that? Or should I go hunt Dmitri instead?" I ask myself hundreds of times now. My delusional mind is interrupted when someone knocks on my office door. I find my composure and answer with a firm voice, "Yes? Come in!"Right after I answer, the door opens heavily and Ms. Dale's blonde head appears, "Ms. Anderson, Mrs. Cohen is currently waiting at the lobby."“Barbara? “ I jump out of my seat and surprisingly ask, “Hasn't she heard about our break-up?" I murmur to myself, then instruct her this, "What is this about? Could you tell her I’m in a meeting right now?”. She slightly scratches her head then replies, “But she said it is urgent and she’s a little bit upset.”I sigh and motion Ms. Dale to let her in, “You can
She is taken aback. She straightens her posture and crosses her arms, her tattooed eyebrows flick and rise, but she knew I am not completely wrong, so she unexpectedly agrees with me, or so I thought, “You’re right! But you see-”, she’s not willing to back out, “He's been busy for your future. Maybe you should at least give him a little slack, no?”, she says as if her recommendation sounds more like a demand. Her words echo repeatedly, and my heart retaliates. For the first time, I think I need to put her in her place. I just can’t let it pass. She doesn't even know what I've been through. She doesn't even know what his son did to me. I am just not anyone. I am not a pushover. And I know my self-worth, so with my head held high, “I think there's something you're not aware of, Barbara. You may think that given the fact that Seid and I dated almost a decade now, err, will ensure our future together. You see, your son made a terrible mistake, which you could ask him later by the way, an
A few months after the break-up, Seid and I never cross paths. I fulfill my promise not to sue him for what he did, and he keeps his word to stop Barbara from visiting my office. There are times that Seid would send me messages, saying hello. In fact, he sends me messages now much more often than he used to back then. It is true, you only realize someone's value when they no longer exist in your world. Do I still love him? Maybe it isn't that easy to forget a decade of romance, and sometimes, I think of giving us a second chance. But when I think about my worth, I guess he doesn't deserve me at all. So I always block the idea before it seeds in my heart.And another reason is Dmitri. When I think about our time together, I felt we are compatible with each other, but I don't believe in a long-distance relationship. And, I was just a woman who passed by his life. I sigh and lay my back on the backrest of my executive seat while blankly staring at my laptop screen."Dmitri Sullivan, shou
As this woman leads me to the conference room, all I could hear is my racing heartbeat either because of humiliation or probably anger. When the conference room reaches my vision, I can see Dmitri's frustrated face while listening to the men's report across from him. I don't speak the business language but I can tell that the reports aren't satisfying. Once again, I hear Dmitri's stern voice after a while, "You call this thing bullshit," throws the file in the middle of them, and leans forward then rests his elbows on the table while his fingers are held together, then he speaks in a calmer but scarier voice, "Can anyone give me anything that this horseshit?"Approximately ten people in the meeting room murmur as Dmitri holds his position. I, on the other hand, feel much pressure upon seeing him upset, "Uh-oh, I think I chose the wrong day to visit."Then the lady excuses her presence, "Hold on, Ms. Anderson, let me tell Mr. Sullivan, that you're here."So I immediately respond to her
He chuckles, "Well, is that the reason why you are being so distant right now? Well, Ava, I have my reasons, and besides, I wanna get out of that meeting so bad, so I need you here as an excuse," then he slides his chair forward in front of my chair, and pulls my chair closer to him that soon makes me loses my balance. So I grab both his shoulders to keep still, then he continues to caress me with his words, "And I want to see you soon so bad, and do things like this to you," he brushes my nose with his fingers as he did back then.My heart pounds and wouldn't stop racing. Just feeling his minty breath as he speaks, and his gorgeous smell like a soothing aroma turns me on."Oh god, Ava, you need to control yourself," I remind myself. So I immediately remove my hands from his shoulders and look on the right instead to avoid his gaze, but his hand gently moves my head forward again, where I can clearly stare at his green eyes, high nose, and sexy lips."I already told you, I always want
I gasp as his greatness juggles before my eyes, stiff as if it has its own life. It draws my hand near it, and as I gently touch and feel its hot skin, I hear Dmitri moan, too. My ears fonder at his moaning voice so I continue to touch it up and down in a rhythm. As his voice gets a bit more sensual, and as my hand gets faster for too much excitement he halts me and pins me down on the table.“Hold still, I will teach you self-control, just put your arms raising and do nothing no matter what, if you move I’ll stop, got it,” he commands me.So I voluntarily raise both my hands and trust him. His hands move around my breasts and nipples again. He traces them with great pressure and squeezes then releases them simultaneously. I gasp as I let myself feel his touch much more. His warm hands begin to travel down to my flat stomach, my waist, and my lower abdomen. He moves in a circular motion on my lower abdomen which makes me wet even more,“Oh, Dmitri, please, I am so wet now,” I beg him
As per Dmitri’s instruction, later that moment, Cullens knocks at his office, while Dmitri and I are discussing my visit. He signals her to come in and she serves us the coffee and the chocolate truffle bars, while we continue with our conversation. “So Ava, since Manhattan Heights requests for my presence, what can I get from you? You know very well how the negotiation goes,” he jests. “You’ll have me in return,” I counter and we both laugh at our jokes, while Cullens is obviously pissed off at how the conversation goes. So me being a bitch intentionally shows her how close I am to Dmitri. I run my fingers through his sleeves and act flirty in front of him. Her face grimaces even more until she leaves the office. “I know what you’re doing Ava, don’t be so mean to her,” Dmitri says. “What?”, shrugging my shoulders, “I just want her to know her place, that’s all,” I sulking say. He smiles and goes along with our conversation. He agrees to have an exclusive with him if Manhattan He
Our orders finally arrived and we begin to dig in. Right after her first bite, Kendra is excited to know about my news. I first feel awkward sharing things in front of Nikolai, but since I already decided to accept him, I think more meetings and setup like this will happen in the near future, so might as well be more comfortable with him. “Well, K, as you already knew, the guy I met in Austria is actually here in The States, and I just met him today,” I excitedly share the bean. “Well, isn’t that great, A? Is there any progress? Did you jump at him now?”, Kendra frankly asks so Nikolai bumps her shoulder with his, but she sulks at him and explains, “What? This is how we talk, duh?”I laugh at them, “Well, I didn’t jump at him, but he may have jumped at me?”, I teased them. And I shared the story about how I felt embarrassed at first, then the hot scene inside the conference room, and how that red-haired woman grimaced at me when she finally realized that I am his woman. I actually
