Chapter 2

“You’re kidding, right?” I ask him, and he shakes his head quickly, as to say no.

“No one would have to know.” He stands up and his eyes looks hopeful.

Sleeping with this man won’t do a thing for me. It would just be meaningless sex, but it could be fun.

I haven’t had sexual relations in a very long time, I guess I could sleep with him and then kill him after. It’s a win win.

“Sure.” I say the word loosely, and he looks at me, surprised that his offer worked.

“Really?” He asks and I chuckle.

“Take off your clothes.” I command him instead of answering his question.

“Yeah..yeah, sure.” He says as he looks at me tentatively, still scared that I could shoot him in the head any second.

And I could.

He takes off his sweatpants and reveals his boxer briefs. His thighs are toned and strong, and his stomach holds a six pack.

“The boxer has to go.” I say and he smiles, his busted lip making him look comical.

“No problem.” He says, his voice deepening as each word comes out.

“It’s time for yours to come off.” He says, and then he gulps as his eyes lands on the dagger in my hand, and the gun on the bed.

“Alrighty.” I say as emotions begins to stir in me. I remove my jacket and I drop it to the floor. His eyes follows my movements attentively.

I remove my crop top, revealing my bosom to him.

His eyes widens as his eyes land on them. He cusses under his breath as he watches me.

“Do you like what you see?” I ask him and he nods like a child.

A knock suddenly sounds at the door as I am about to remove my pants, causing me to instinctively retrieve my gun and dagger from the bed.

He lifts his hands up. “It’s just my guys, they probably want to check up on me and inform me about the explosion out at the main gate.” He says.

“You try anything, they will find your corpse.” I threaten him and he nods.

I watch him walk towards the door, and without opening it, he speaks, “Is there a problem?”

“No sir. I came to let you know that the explosion at the main gate was nothing. It did some damage, but the guys and I will take care of it.” I hear a man’s voice.

“Sir, are you okay?” He asks.

“I am.” Robert glances at me and I nod, encouraging him to continue to speak.

“James...it’s umm, late. Tell me about all this in the morning.” He says much clearer than before.

“Okay, sir. Goodnight.” The man replies and soon I hear his footsteps recede.

Robert turns back around and he wets his lip.

“You know what, I don’t think I should do this.” I say as I try to reach for my crop top to put it back on.

“No!” He says loudly, causing me to halt my movements.

“I mean...we made a deal.” He says tentatively as he give a small shrug.

“And who said I won’t kill you after I have had sex with you?” I ask him and he walks closer to me.

With each step he takes, my mouth gets dryer.

“Then I guess I would have to take the risk.” He says bravely, as he smirks.

My eyes involuntarily scans this man’s body and it’s like my heart is in a drag race. It’s beating extremely fast.

He closes the distance between us and I gently place the weapons on the bed.

What am I doing?

“Let me make love to you.” He moves close to my ear and whispers.

With my emotions going wild, I finally give in. I claim his mouth as I kiss him passionately, and soon, all our clothes are gone from our bodies.

I push the dagger and gun out of the way and they fall with a thud on the floor.

And that’s the only sound I hear before our moans fill the entire room.

“Holy crap, that was the most amazing sex I have ever had.” He says once we have reached our peaks.

“You liked that?” He asks as I lay next to his naked body.

Without clothes on, I have often felt vulnerable. I like to be dressed always, so I can be prepared for whatever or whoever.

But being in this bed with this man that I barely have a emotional connection with, somehow makes me feel safe and protected.

I don’t answer him, I only lay close to him as his strong arms cuddles me.

“Okay..okay, we don’t have to speak.” He says to himself. “Best sex ever.” Is the last thing I hear him say before I close my eyes.

As soon as I close them, sleep kidnaps me, and I find myself in a dark abyss of unconsciousness.

Something hairy touches my back and my eyes shoots open instantly. The light from the rising sun attacks my eyes and I try to shield them as best I can.

Where am I?

And who’s bed..oh my goodness.

Images of last night starts to flood my memory and I cuss under my breath.

I remove myself from under the bedsheet that I happened to be sharing with this naked CEO, causing him to groan in his sleep.

I drag my body from on the bed and I try to find my clothes quickly.

“I messed up.” I whisper to myself.

“I freaking messed up.” I say again.

I should not be here, it’s already morning.

Damn it.

I dress quickly and I retrieve my weapons and place them back into jacket. Now it’s time to do what I really came here to do.

But I can’t use a gun or the dagger. It would be messy and loud. I need this to be quick and quiet.

I place my hands in the pocket of my jacket and my hands touch a small bottle. I pull the bottle out and I look at the label.

It’s a sedative, but with a powerful enough dose, the CEO could sleep his way to kingdom come.

But there’s a problem, this is my first time using one of these. I don’t usually use medication or poison as a means of doing my job.

But I guess this would have to do. I place my hands in my pocket and I withdraw an injection needle. It’s a rather small one.

This leather jacket is a personalized one that was made just for me. It has a lot of compartments and space that are way beyond what is expected.

“Sorry.” Robert’s voice startles me as I was about to prepare the dosage.

I hide the needle and sedative behind me as I look at him.

He’s still asleep, he was just talking in his sleep.

I resume preparing the dose and as soon as I’m done, I walk around towards his side of the bed.

“The sex was nice and all, but it’s time for business.” I say lowly as I inject him in his arm quickly.

He jerks from sleep and holds where I injected him. “Ouch, what was that?” He asks me and I smile.

“Night night.” I say to him, watching him lose sense of reality.

“What did you do to me?” His speech is slow.

“What I was paid to do.” I say to him and he falls back to the bed.

I smile proudly, knowing that I have gotten the job done.

But what I need to do right now is to find a way out of here.

I look through the window and I see that the entire yard is clear. I can’t go through the house, it’s too risky, so I have to leave through this window.

This is the second floor, but it’s nothing I can’t handle.

I glance at Robert Jones once more before exiting the window. He looks so peaceful laying on the bed.

There’s a tall tree right near the window and I use it as a ladder to climb down.

When I reach down. I run as fast as my legs can carry me, which is really fast. In no time, I reach the fencing and I climb over it.

“Hey!” One the guards says as he runs towards me, but he’s too late. I smirk as I cross the street and hop on my bike.

The guard gives up as he sees that he can’t outrun a sports motorcycle.

I let my blonde hair out of the bun messy bun it was in, and it falls down, disguising my face as I drive away.

In no time I find myself back at my building. As I climb the stairs, memories of the CEO’s hands moving expertly on my body flashes in my mind, causing me to miss a stair and almost trip.

“Are you alright?” An old lady that is also climbing the stairs with me asks me, and I nod with a smile.

“Taking the stairs is healthy, but it can be dangerous if we don’t pay attention.” She adds, and I just smile.

When I reach the top, I bid her goodbye as I walk to the door of my apartment.

I open the door and I enter, making sure to lock it before anything else.

I may be paranoid, but in my line of work, your life depends on you being paranoid.

As soon as I walk in the living room, the landline rings, and I take my sweet time to answer it.

“Hello?” I answer when I finally pick up the phone.

“Jen Davis.” The disguised voice says my name disappointingly, making me overthink.

“The job is done.” I say curtly and he laughs.

“Is it now?” He asks.

“I see no mentions of his death on the news, I am checking every station.” He says.

“He’s dead. Keep checking, you will se...” I start to say but he cuts me short.

“Shhhh.” He shushes me, and I feel my anger rising.

“I wasn’t done speaking.” I say and he chuckles.

“Jen...I respect you, don’t let that change. Turn on the TV right now and go to channel six.” He orders me, and as annoyed as I am right now, I do what he says.

I turn my large TV on and I go to channel six like he asked me.

“Are you there?” He asks.

“Yes.”

“What do you see?” The disguised voice looms over the phone.

I look at the channel and they’re giving the news as they should, but something catches my eye. Or rather someone.

It’s Robert Jones.

“The CEO is still breathing, you only paralyzed him!” The voice yells and I close my eyes in frustration.

My jaw tightens as I succumb to the feelings of anger and frustration. I scream a loud gut wrenching scream, allowing my emotions to rule me for a second.

“Jen..Jen.” I hear the disguised voice and I pick up the phone again, for I allowed it to drop when I was raging.

“I’m sorry, I will take care of it as soon as possible.” I say and the voice sighs.

“You most certainly will..you have four hours to do so, or you die.” The disguised voice says calmly and the call ends.
