MIXING PLEASURES CHAPTER 6
MARCUS“I see you deployed your time management skills in writing the report” I speak with dry sarcasm without even raising my head to look at Penelope as she enters and shuts the door to my office.When she remains silent, I am forced to move my gaze from my computer screen to my silent secretary.“Nothing to say for yourself?” I ask after noticing the blank look on her face. Inwardly I am tempted to laugh, not because anything is actually funny but because if it were anyone else keeping silent and not apologizing while getting scolded by their boss, they would loose their jobs within the hour, but there is little to nothing Penelope can do to make me fire her and I’m sure she knows this. Finally, she decides to grace me with her voice and speaks, “I wanted to make sure the report was perfect. And I didn’t think I was under a deadline.” She shrugs nonchalantly and I have to resist the urge to roll my eyes in exasperation, but that would only encourage her. The girl likes to test my p

A few days later, I’m rounding up the task Marcus saddled me with earlier this morning so that I can go to lunch with Will. I’m already late as we had agreed to meet up outside by the parking lot by 1 pm sharp but it’s already a few minutes after and I’m just now putting my desktop to sleep after emailing the report to Marcus so that I can leave. I just grab my wallet and turn to head to the elevator when it opens and Will steps out.Surprised, I smile at him, “Hey… you shouldn’t have bothered coming up, I was already heading to you, sorry” I tell him, feeling a bit bad for wasting his time.Will shrugs then gives me a side hug, and a quick kiss on my cheek“It’s fine. How are you doing? You look a bit tired” He asks with a concerned tone.I sigh. I am tired. I’ve been feeling exhausted since I woke up but it’s probably just work stress.I start to answer him but stop when the door to Marcus’s office opens and he strides out confidently. I notice a slight crease between his eyebrows wh

“I’ve been feeling so off lately. I think I need to ask Mr. Wayne for a few days leave to recuperate” I massage the colon of my throat as I complain to my friend, Stacy. She came over to my cubicle about thirty minutes ago and we have been chatting or more like I’ve been listening while she has been giving me all the recent office gossip.Stacy chuckles, “I would make a joke about you being pregnant but we both know how impossible that idea is”I still, then give her a look, “Why is that impossible?” I’m not sure if I should be offended or not. Stacy cackles with laughter once more, about to make fun of me I’m sure. She says, “Because it’s been ages since you got some D” she returned giving my a knowing look.I snort with amusement, if only she knew how wrong she was. The last time I had sex was six weeks ago and it was with our CEO. But I’m not telling her that so instead I respond with, “How do you know I haven’t had sex in a while?” I’m quite interested in her answer but she doesn’

As I stare deeply at the pregnancy test showing positive, a part of me is praying that a miracle happens and the result changes to negative while another part is rethinking my entire life choices.Where did it all go wrong? How would I handle this? I earn well enough as the executive secretary of one of the richest men in New York but in between handling my bills, paying off my student loans and my mother’s health care bill I barely have much in savings.So how would I be able to take care of a baby on my own? And telling Marcus is completely out of the question. He doesn’t even remember we had sex a few weeks ago. He won’t believe me and even if he does, I know fully well that he’ll fire me. Marcus Wayne doesn’t mix his business with his personal life.Still in deep thoughts of the troubling predicament that I am in, I don’t hear the sound of footsteps approaching the private toilet on the CEO floor until it is nearly too late.“Penelope Cruz, I know you’re in there. I saw you go in.

I’m halfway asleep from tiredness after crying my eyes out for the past hour when the office telephone rings. I check and see the call is coming from Marcus. I’m tempted to ignore it. I don’t think I can deal with him right now. I’m way too vulnerable. But I know I’ll just get into trouble with him if I ignore his call so I grudgingly answer.“Hello-““In my office right now. Miss Cruz” He interrupts me with the order.Unable to help myself, I groan out loudly with frustration, he is so rude, no greeting or anything.“Am I bothering you, Miss Cruz?” He asks from the phone.Great. He heard my frustrated sign.I try to answer with a no, but he continues on. “Or maybe you’re getting tired of your job? Am I working you too hard?” He asks but I don’t deceive myself that his questions are because he cares, I hear the sarcasm clearly from a mile away. He is so confusing. Sometimes he is nice and other times he is a level ten asshole, like right now.I keep my analysis of his temperaments to m

“No I'm not.” I lie but my voice sounds quiet, face straight but something must have given me away.I watch as his jaw clenches and a quick look of anger passes his face. He studies me intently, his eyes moving all over my face and I feel like an animal that has been brought out for slaughter. I drop my head to stare at the floor. This is the Marcus Wayne that deals with businessmen and politicians. This is the CEO and his domineering nature is coming out making me want to roll over and start crying.How could this happen?How?“Penelope.” He only says my name but I hear the silent command.“Hm?” I reply.“Look at me” He commands.I shake my head, still facing the floor and staring intently at my feet and the black court heels I’m wearing. I dare not look at him. If I do, he’ll know.“Who did this to you?” He asks, his voice is scarily calm. I’m scared, I've never seen this side of Marcus before.“What do you mean?” I ask because I don’t understand his question.In the same, quiet scar

I struggle to catch my thoughts as Will takes his leave and gives Marcus and I privacy to talk. He gives me one last concerned look and also silently says, “We’ll talk after this”. Yes, I definitely owe him an explanation seeing as I’m the reason Marcus just went all Mohammad Ali on his face.Marcus slipped of his jacket, loosening his tie as he comes around his desk and takes his seat, all quiet and imposing. His calmness is sending waves of fear and anxiousness through me.‘Shall I get you some ice?” A bruise is already forming on his right cheekbone where will decked him. My question is met with silence as he taped the pad of his fingers slowly on the desk.Why the hell did I say those words? Less then two hours ago after finding out I'm pregnant with Marcus’s baby -although I wasn’t sure about anything-, I was sure I would never tell Marcus. But here I am, about to explain to my billionaire CEO boss that I am pregnant with his baby even though to him, he has never so much as touche

I nod in confirmation and watch as a look of utter disgust overtakes his features. He shakes his head in disappointment or pain, I'm not sure. “I was drunk and you… took advantage of that?” He accuses and just when I thought I couldn’t be made to feel worse, I do.“Marcus…” I say his name with silent shock. Is he seriously accusing me of taking advantage to him? Could things get any worse?He doesn’t bother correcting me on my use of his first name this time rather he continues on with his accusations. “You knew I was drunk and you fucking seduced me!?” He gives me a look of extreme disappointment mixed with the disgust from earlier.I let out a laugh, in shock, in pain. Like hell if I’m going to seat here and have him say such shit to me.I have had a day.The past two hours have been nothing but hell for me. I shook my head. “Seduced you?” I question with disbelief. “Between the two of us, whom is the likely seducer?” I pointed a finger at myself “I was drunk as well, I just happened

**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

“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
MIXING PLEASURES CHAPTER 49
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
