MIXING PLEASURES CHAPTER 15
I shake my head in total confusion. “Why are you angry?” Actually. No, “Why are you here?” I rephrase because I never expected to see him again after yesterday. He let me leave. Marcus looks around the hallway outside my apartment and a look of disgust crosses his features. Uh uh, what I'm not going to let him do, is judge my home. Not every one is a billionaire like him. Some of us have bills, debts, responsibilities. Angry, I question, “Why are you here Marcus? I don’t want you here.” He gives me a look of surprise. “You're mad at me?” His tone conveys just how absurd that is as if I have no reason to be angry at him when in fact, I have quite a lot. I roll my eyes. “Whatever. I don’t have the zeal to deal with you today” I go to shut the door in his face but his huge palm comes crashing down on it gently, preventing me from achieving my goal of slamming the door in his face. “Let me in” he demands with a look of authority. What? He does not get to tell me what to do anym

My breath hitched in my lungs for a monent, did he- then my eyes narrowed. "You dont know what I said that night" because he has no memory of it.And I wasnt sure how I felt about that. I grab my sandwich to leave because I don’t trust myself with him being so close but he takes hold of my arm by my elbow and pulls me back. “You're really not going to make one for me? I’m starving and you know I can’t cook anything”I have to catch myself before I laugh out loud, I know he cant cook anything, remembering the time he tried making himself some coffee in the break room, almost ended up with second degree burns.His gaze softened "I came here straight when I realized you werent at you desk, havent even had my morning coffee" I blink because I have never seen this side of Marcus before. I’m so used to him giving me instructions and making demands, that him pleading is… different. I nearly give in and make him one but I stop myself. “Then continue starving” I say, it’s harsh, I know but

I nod, I suppose he's right, it must all seem very sureal to him. Sometimes I feel I haven't believed it myself.One of his hand is still cradling my face and it is at this moment when we have finally come to an agreement on something that we both notice how close to each other we are sitting, how near we've leaned into each other. I see Marcus look down over me, his eyes run over the thin robe I’m wearing and this close, he can see I'm wearing nothing underneath. The material of the robe does nothing to hide the outline of my nipples and I watch as lust cloud his eyes as he stares and continues staring. I should pull away, but I don’t. The look in his eyes, takes me back to that night six weeks ago, he is looking at me the exact same way, like he is desperate to have a taste of me.I shake my head, this is a bad idea. I try to stand but his hand on my thigh stops me. When did his hand get there? I look up at him and see he is now looking at my face and not my chest. I see something

At exactly 4:55 pm that afternoon, I receive a text message from Marcus. Marcus Wayne: Come outside When the king requests your presence. Just who does he think he is? The authoritative tone of his text makes me consider delaying, maybe for thirty minutes or even an hour, but I doubt he’ll wait. I know if I don’t show up within the next five minutes, he’ll come up here and carry me down himself. I swiped my palm across my face, I was getting upset again. I'd remained indoors all day, doing some chores, prepping meals and eating. Then I cleaned, anything to keep me from thinking about his visit earlier. And what almost happened, again. It's clear that I can't trust myself alone with him. I dress up in comfy clothes and a jacket to wade against the chill of the evening air. When I get downstairs, I see Marcus’s driver standing in front of the Bentley car. I approach, exchange pleasantries with him, and get inside. Once I'm seated, I angle myself to face the tinted glass

PENELOPE The next day, I received a reply from the human resource branch of Wayne Tech regarding the email I sent with my resignation later. According to their response, I couldn't resign without four weeks prior notice and do a proper handover to my replacement so, I now have to go back to the office and deal with Mr. Wayne. A part of me wonders if he put them up to this but after speaking to Stacy, she confirmed that the rule does exist. I haven’t heard a single word from Marcus since he dropped me off yesterday after the clinic. I couldn’t forget the look on his face, he looked like he had been given a death sentence. I shrug off the feeling of pain and rejection that threatens to come back, I already cried myself to sleep again last night as I resigned myself to my fate. Marcus clearly doesn’t want this baby, and I will have to raise my child on my own. Whatever, fuck him and fuck his help. I don’t need him. I repeat the mantra in my head as I step out of the ele

***I go about my day, setting up Marcus’s schedule for the day, crosschecking to make sure I’ve prepared for his meetings, I go through some documentations for a final time before forwarding some to the printer.Some senior partners arrive for their scheduled meetings and I see them to the conference room, provide refreshments and handed out briefs before heading back to my desk to get more work done. The phone rings as I’m in the middle of stapling some papers, I bring it to my ear without looking.“Wayne Technologies, Mr. Wayne’s office”“Hey Penny”“Stacy?”“You didn’t come in yesterday, are you okay? I sent you a text but you didn’t reply”I dropped the papers, “Oh yeah, sorry, but I’m okay now, just needed a moment to rest. I must have missed your text, sorry”“Sorry babe, Mr. Wayne must be working you too hard. Maybe you should ask for some time off?”I used to pride myself for not needing any time off, it was his second rule during my interview.I still remember it like it was

**“So, I made a mistake, doesn’t mean I want to be tied to you for the rest of my life”“You already are” he pointed out with a flick of his index finger.“Well I’d rather not tighten the rope” I smirked.He says nothing for a moment and I busied myself cutting a piece of chicken, I popped it into my mouth, delicious. So I ate another piece speaking, “And I thought you didn’t believe me? according to you I am a jezebel whom took advantage of you in a moment of weakness”“I shouldn’t have said that”Was that his apology? He could damn well do better. “You shouldn’t have”A moment passed and Marcus glanced at me, “You know you’re trying a little too hard”I brought my glass to my lips “What do you mean?”“You want me, Penelope.”My smile drops, and I swear the sound my heartbeat could be heard from the back kitchens, I returned the glass to the table slowly, my palm turning slick with sweat, no, I didn’t, so what if I found him attractive? Hundreds of women did and it only meant I had a

It took some time before I finally got the courage to check my phone, after spending some time putting out my clothes for the week as I usually do every Sunday night.I frowned when I noticed I hadn’t gotten any calls to text messages, not even a voice mail. Excluding the unopened texts I’d gotten from Will.He was worried about me. and he had questions.So many questions.It was another reason I’d gone by Andy’s place I didn’t want o explain, didn’t know how.I haven’t even asked how he was faring after his physical altercation with Marcus the other day, Yes, I am a bad friend, I was well aware.I’ve just been somewhat preoccupied dealing with my own shit. Or trying not to deal.I didn’t know how to deal.Despite the brave front I put in the face of Marcus Wayne. I didn’t know what the hell I was going to do.Will was probably confused, seeing as I’d sworn up and down that there was nothing going on between Marcus and I, repeatedly, I probably looked like a big fat liar. Because he h

**The card came home with me. I couldn’t get a courier to deliver it, I couldn’t risk it. Just thinking of the consequences if it got lost, mixed up with some other delivery, or stolen. And I sure as hell couldn’t leave it in the office. I put on an exfoliating face mask after my shower, all this working was going to give me premature wrinkles and gray hair, I stand in front of my bathroom fifteen minutes later to wipe it off I put on some serums and moisturizer over my face, neck, and chest. Pulling down the front of my bathrobe to massage the products into my skin. I’d noticed a recent soreness in my boobs. I cup the right one then the left, my nipples immediately budding in my palms, fat and plump. My back arched as goosebumps spreads along my chest despite the heat in the bathroom from my hot bath. I took a moment to examine my body, other than the heaviness in my boobs, there were no other physical changes yet. I brought down my hands and righted my robe, returning to my bed
MIXING PLEASURES CHAPTER 52
I groaned, “I had a shitty day, don’t even remind me,” I say when the elevator slid open and I made my way to my apartment. I’d been a little surprised when I saw the elevator was working this morning on my way to work. I’m sure it’ll be closed for maintenance soon though like everything else in this house.“Maybe you two are moving too fast?” Will questioned, on my screen, he moved into a dimly lit room and popped his phone somewhere as he moved around.Marcus’s driver Mr. James had dropped me off at the front of my house, Marcus had a work thing and I was invited. I had just stepped on the elevator when Will called me and I gave him the two four on my day. To which he was annoyed on my behalf and pleased when he learned Marcus had shown Brie and Renee the door.He was also proud I’d defended myself. Unlike someone. “Tell me about it” I grumbled and got out my keys, unlocking my door, I shoved it open.I heard the sound of rushing liquid and the clicking of glasses. Will returned i

“What the fuck were you thinking?” He snapped the second the door closed.I spun around to face him, “Me? I didn’t do anything, they started it” I frowned, surely he didn’t buy into any of that, they were clearly playing the victim. I’m the victim here. And I did not appreciate being scolded. With the shit they said to me, Brie should be glad all she got was a smack across the face.“And so you thought it best to get into a physical altercation while pregnant with my child? They could have retaliated, you could have been harmed, if Stacy had delayed in getting to my office, a little accident is all it takes!” The force of his glower had me taking another step back.I did wonder what brought him to the ladies' room. Stacy must have heard about it from the peeping tom and ran straight to Marcus.He began pacing. “Just this morning you promised me you were being careful, getting into fights is the complete opposite” he pointed at me, drawing to a pause.My jaw met the floor for the se
MIXING PLEASURES CHAPTER 50
“Feel better?” I blinked slowly, glancing around, “What am I doing here?”“You fell asleep” Oh. I stifled a yawn, scratching the name of my neck. “What the time?” “Just in time for lunch, I have to wonder if your body is conditioned to know when is close to feeding time”I wiped my face with the back of my hand “Hey, I’m eating for two, so don’t judge”"Of course, thank you for your hard work."I got up shoving my feet back into my pumps one after the other. “Is my phone here?” “Come see me when you return” he says and I turn to leave. “Aye, Aye Captain Wayne” I met Stacy in the lobby and we headed out for our lunch where I was pointed at and stared at until we left. I couldn’t even eat my meal in peace. Some took pictures as discreetly as they could manage, pictures I was sure would be showing up on social media in the next minute. It was annoying. I ended up wishing I’d order some takeout and ate at my desk instead. “Dude, you’re famous” Stacy had exclaimed when I showed her m

I kept my eyes straight as I walked to my desk, sat and when I was in the secured space of my cubicle, I dropped my hands to my palms smiling like a loon, what the hell was that? A giggle burst out of me, trapped behind my palm and another. One moment we were arguing, or at least I had been and then he was- and it was-I didn’t want to think about it. I didn’t want to give it a name. I had no idea Marcus could be like that, so gentle and soft and sweet, as though he didn’t want to scare me off and I felt the electricity all the way to my toes. My gosh. So different from the first time, it had been rushed, with a bit of stumbling as we were both intoxicated.This was skilful, seductive, perfection.I swiped my hands all over my face. I needed to stop thinking about it. About him.If only there was a way to turn off my brain, but now, instead it was doing a rewind, replaying the kiss over and over again. My nipples tightened behind my bra, warmth curling in my belly at the memory a
MIXING PLEASURES CHAPTER 48
I have been having the hiccups for the past fifteen minutes all because I am avoiding the break room, I couldn’t concentrate, I could feel a headache blooming at the back of my skull due to dehydration, my neck hurts from the constant bobbing of my head and my tongue felt paper dry. This was getting ridiculous. Another five minutes and I’d had enough, I shoved my chair back got my bottle and marched with purpose towards the break room. If they wanted to talk let them talk. The door was opened so I walked right in calling out a “hello” as I made my way to the water dispenser where I immediately filled my bottle, gulped it down and filled it again. The tightness in my temples receding. As I drink, I see Louis and Ted pack up their half done coffee and race to the door almost bumping into Stacy on the way mumbling their appologies. I rolled my eyes and tipped my bottle back swallowing more chilled water.“How’s it going?”“Oh, just dandy, did you see how they rushed to get away from m
MIXING PLEASURES CHAPTER 47
I didn’t see Marcus for the rest of the morning as he had some meeting with an external client and I was glad for it in fear that I might actually strangle him and then I'd get fired as Wayne Tech had a strict no-violence policy or spend the rest of my life behind bars if I was actually successful. With the way I am feeling, it may actually be the latter. And then who would take care of my baby?I can’t believe the stunt he pulled. After what he did yesterday too.I don’t know why has me more annoyed, that he went ahead and did this without even so much as asking me or how pleased he was about my reaction, as though it was an amusing pesky fly.I kept going back to the blog and other blogs that ran the news. The comments didn't let up, didn't think it was going to any moment soon, I don’t know which is worse, the dudes or the ladies. I didn’t know what I expected that they would be all nice and throw their heartfelt congratulations. “It’s a good thing, you know how many women are
MIXING PLEASURES CHAPTER 46
They were still on this? Really? It was a new day for goodness sake. Surely some other interesting thing should have occurred to get the interest off me. Some celebrity scandal? A cheating couple caught? Anything? This is New York after all. It was one scandal after another. I almost feel bad for them for being popular but I guess it was the price of fame.I kept my eyes forward placing one foot in front of the other as I made my way to the elevator pushed the call button and waited for the car to arrive. Thankfully I didn’t have to wait too long before it arrived and I jumped in, except a few others got in alongside me and the weird looks continued. Haha. Jokes on them but a little staring and reprimand from the boss was not the end of the world. And as long as I had a job here, they had to deal with it. Period. I offered a curt nod to an older gentleman, Mr Philip who worked in the mailing room on the fifth floor. At least he was nice enough to meet my eyes this fine
MIXING PLEASURES CHAPTER 45
I was wrong. Marcus Wayne is not sweet and not soft. The day starts out like every other, going over his schedule like we do every morning, confirming meetings with other personal assistants and secretaries over the phone, and then going over reports, and attending a few meetings, so, a normal morning. And then by afternoon, I have my chair leaned as far back as possible, my shoes off, to get the blood flowing back into my feet that’s been pinched in the heeled peep toes I wore today, a cute pair but damn, there was a pain.I have my cell tucked between the side of my cheek and shoulder, chewing slightly on the end of a pen.“He can be so over-controlling it’s getting out of hand Pen, because he is an investor in my company he thinks he can tell me how to run my own company,” Will said over the phone making me frown. I was well aware of his rocky relationship with his dad.While Will was what most people would refer to as a trust fund baby, Will was very hard working. I like Marcus
