"Amara, he's on the line again. And these bouquets of flowers just won't stop coming! I'm getting scared, okay... I seriously think you have a very rich stalker on your ass!"
Amara just laughed on the other line, telling Peter to be a man, and forward all of her incoming calls to her mobile. It has been three days and he was either smitten by her or just wouldn't take no as an answer.
"I'm working from home until that crazy Italian stalker is bored with me. Oh and get me an escort agency for my date to the banquet tonight, tell them I want a sexy, clean-cut, thirtyish man, oh... and tell them it's a formal, so I need my Woody in a tux."
She giggles at the double meaning words, making Peter groaned on the other line.
"You know what? I'll get you a Woody and get you off your sexless lifestyle. It's been months Amara, you need to get laid."
That was when it was her turn to groan making him laugh on the other line.
"Just fetch me the wood, and I'll get it done."
She hangs up after a few alterations to her schedule for the next few days. Then she was on her way to the spa thinking to get her relaxation in another way.
Her dearest beautician greeted her as she arrived at one of her favorite playgrounds.
"Lionel, how are you?"
"My beautiful Amara, it's me who should be worried. How are you?"
"Is it that obvious?"
"Oh honey, I give the best wax job in town, though I have several clients a couple of towns over. But so not the focus of our talk. Come, I have cleared my day just for you."
He ushered her to the private spa area reserved only for their most wealthy clients. She took me there a couple of times, but I was never a spa girl. Not like our Amara, where she could blend into the walls and sleep there while I would die of boredom waiting for them to do things to my body. I mean seriously how many treatments can one body take?
"Oh Lionel, you have the most delicious touch a woman can take." She moaned to him massaging her shoulder.
"See, that worries me, darling. You're beautiful, young, smart, and wealthy, yet you're still single. And haven't come to me in months, girl I'm worried..."
She chuckled at his words.
"I've been busy Lionel, work... oh yes, right there... damn..."
She let out another moan, while Lionel just smiles at one of his richest clients, knowing that these girls make too many decisions in their lifetime. He just hopes that she would live her life more, cause obviously, she was too young to surround her days with work.
It was five hours later when she came out of the spa, feeling sleek, energized, and primped from head to toe.
"Welcome Ms. Hamilton, your bouquets of flowers have been overflowing our lobby. What would you like me to do with them today?"
"Oh, Barry! I'm so sorry I'll let Peter know, and let the perpetrator sends these elsewhere. But take the most beautiful one to your wife for me. And you can send the rest to the nearest hospital and give them out to all the patients, hopefully, these will cheer them up."
She gave him her sweetest smile while he holds the elevator open for her, then sighed when she reached her floor.
She wanted to stay in for the night, but the charity banquet was one of her father's events and it was mandatory for all of his family to be there. That was actually the spa was for, to prepare her for tonight.
The fake-ness of their family was making her tired with each passing year. But she was doing it for her dad, she loves him so much that she'd do anything for him. She even let her stepbrothers and stepmother belittle her. Just because she knows that her dad would defend her no matter what.
"Ms. Hamilton, my name is Sergio."
She smiled at the handsome man before her, then looked at the ruby cuff-links as the markings for her escort for that night.
"Sergio, please call me Amara. Thank Kamaria for me, she's definitely the perfect replacement after Adrianna." She said, placing her hand on the crook of his arm as he offered seconds earlier.
"Amara, of course...how close would like me to be? How long have we dated?..."
They talked before entering the grand ballroom where she would introduce him as her date. This too that been done several times already, sometimes with the same escort should the events were in short intervals.
They both look like a couple in love, Amara was wearing the latest Versace evening gown in black, contouring her slender body with a very high slit revealing her sexy thigh and even sexier evening designer heels. Her jewelry was minimal, only small red diamond studs her father brought back from his business trip. Her simplicity appearance was making her look more expensive than the rest of the woman flaunting their over the top diamonds.
Sergio was placing his manly hand on her naked lower back, he rubbed and whispered some nonsense as if they were sharing some intimate words, making her smile at him as he was doing what he was instructed each time he was being introduced as her date for that night.
That was until her rich stalker Russo decided to join in the charity. She cursed on the inside, knowing she could not leave the party until every member of her family was in attendance and mingle together.
"Well... Amara didn't expect to see you here." Antonio said, looking all handsome and screams out wealth in his designer tux and sleek Italian handmade leather shoes.
"Really? I thought you're stalking me? You should stop with the flowers. I don't like giving an extra job to Barry."
"Barry?"
"Yeah, my doorman Barry."
"You know your doorman?"
"You don't?"
"Oh sorry..." she smiled at Sergio, totally forgetting about him until he rubbed her back, obviously thinking about their appearance.
"Sergio meet Antonio, my flower guy. Flower guy met Sergio, my escort guy."
She was throwing the escort information out, knowing that if he knows that Sergio was not a real date, then he'd let the matter go. She didn't like to make a scene, and she was afraid that Antonio might make one.
Both men shake hands though Antonio seemed a bit bothered than Sergio.
"Escort? you're rejecting me for an escort?"
Sergio said nothing but smiled as if they were talking about something else. He was a true professional at his work, Amara noted that in her mind telling herself that she'd tipped him more for this exceptional attitude.
"Sergio honey, would you get me a glass of champagne?"
She deliberately put her hand on his chest, as he lowered himself down knowing that she would kiss him on the cheeks and flirt playfully for others to see.
But the rich stalker was fast on taking her away from the crowd, once Sergio was sent away. He was ushering her onto the outside spacious veranda, where the cold night air greeted them.
"Antonio, what do you think you're doing?"
"I'm getting you away from your escort."
He put his hand on her slim waist pushing her back to the wall, with his body covering them from other guests, and pulled her in for a deep sensual kiss. His other hand was holding on to her neck keeping her, molding her as she melts to his kisses. She was holding on to his tux and finally let out a moan when his hand trail down the high slit of her dress and cupped her bare cheek.
"Fuck Amara..." he cursed as he pushed himself letting her feel his very hard dick against her body.
He pulled back abruptly, looking a bit taken back then leave her there alone, resting her back to the wall, lips swollen, legs still a bit shaky, and her heart beating a thousand miles per hour.
What the fuck was that?
She thought as she touched her lips, and wondering where he's gone.
"Damn... you still haven't got laid haven't you?"She was deep in her work, flipping pages and scribbling her gold Montblanc pen on her trusty yellow pad."Peter shut it. I'm having a breakthrough. We might have a plan on how to stop the worker...""Yeah, you also managed to stop your libido the moment you started working here. I'm worried about you, boss."Peter took a seat in front of her knowing that she needed the sexual intervention."Even your stalker had stopped sending you those flowers. I seriously don't want you to be one of those cat ladies, because Amara... with your money, I'm afraid to imagine how many cats you might harbor."He put a hand on hers to stop her from writing. She looked at him then bite her lip, remembering what had happened a couple of days ago.How Antonio had kissed her and leave her, and how she tried to have sex with Sergio but just didn't feel like it. Peter might be onto something, she thought."I might just have one very big cat you know?""Yup, just
They arrived at his place in less than an hour. He was sexually charged, she was sexually hungry. Both were feeling the tension but were keeping their frustration down until it all blows up behind his doors."You want to drink?""Seriously? I've spent hours on these and you're asking me if..." s
"I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing..."Peter greeted her with a steaming hot cup of coffee as she was looking dead tired from the lack of sleep that she had last night."I don't even know why I'm at the office already. I'm so far..."
"You know you're making me lose money on your lease right?" he asked as he stepped into her luxurious penthouse."I know and you're about to lose more than your money right now. Let's start with your shirt, I want to see what you're wearing tonight."*****
A couple ofmonths later..."Amara, baby, I love you.""Me too, but we can't, not here baby..."
"Amara honey, wake up...""Peter, tell me I've just woken up from a dreadful nightmare?" Amara asked as she felt the warm swell of her eyes."Oh...boss, I wish it was my nightmare. I truly do. But Rick and your father's lawyer Bradley is here, they have some issues that they would like to discus
"I just had a long conversation with the Lombardi. It's Russo's mafia's family..."Rick addressed Peter, who might not know the fact. He wasn't sure if Amara had informed him about them. But Peter nodded as Amara had told him the first day Rick revealed the information to her."I don't know how
"Dr. Michaels! Oh God about time! come, Matteo is in the other room, I'll go get Leo."Amber greeted the doctor as he walked into their residence. Amara was still in shock as she kept shedding her tears, remembering about Rick and now praying to God that Peter would be okay."Amara, I will be ju
Two Years Later..."Peter, stop messing with the new recruit or I'll have Paolo come and haul your ass out of here.""What? I'm just making sure that she is doing her job. I'll be gone for a week and god knows...""Peter..." Amara looked at him and showing him Paolo's name on her speed dial, then he gave up and leave the intern alone."She will be just fine," Amara smiled at the new intern and assure her that Peter will be following up on her, via emails and video chats.Then Amara told him to get into her office and close the door behind him."You know I love you right?""I do boss, and I love you too..." Peter sat down in front of her."...wait, are you actually being emotional days before I'm going to marry my bad boy?"She laughed at his reference of Paolo, that big oaf of his is more of a g
"You're making me so happy, Amara." Matteo's mom was teary, while his sisters were telling her how beautiful she looked and how Matteo was very lucky to have her."This is your last chance Amara, there's no turning back once you're married to my brother, I'll spoil your kid like a true brat. I'll be his favorite aunt." Alessia was hugging her."I'll be her favorite aunt." Lucia blurted out her words, didn't want her big sister to have all the attention."You'll be too busy with school.""You'll be busy with work." The little sister mocked her."Girls, please... she might cancel the whole thing because of both of you." Matteo's mom reminded them, while Amara just smiled at both sisters loving their sincere love for her and her baby, their baby."Come on let's take our seats and let Amara continue getting ready for the ceremony."H
"Don't worry, he will be just fine. The bullet just nicked his side." The older doctor said as he pats her shoulder silently telling her that everything would be okay."Thank you, Dr. Michaels."Amara was still by his side, while Paolo had just got back from his brief meeting with Leonardo. The mob boss had recently arrived from his meeting abroad, but he was quick to handle the matter delicately with Matteo and the rest of his crew.Duffy was placed in his residence and where it was trashed and made it looked as if he was a victim of a burglary. His body was stage making it appeared as they had killed him on the spot when he caught them breaking into his home."Amara, thank you for staying with him. Matteo is waiting for you in the foyer. I'll take him back to my place.""I can look after him for you, you have your work." Amara was hesitant in leaving her dearest assistant.
"Matteo, you're in so much trouble. I just found out from Peter." Amara greeted him at the door."Oh, yeah about that. I was just about to tell you. You should really stop snooping around.""I told Peter to go here, how could you guys leave him alone at his place...""You did what??""I told him to hideout here, his address is stated at the company's records. He could..."Amara kept on talking while our underboss was already pressing his speed dial and connect himself to Paolo."Peter's place, now. Get your guy to his door." He hangs up with his last words."I'm dropping you off at Leo's. Just hope his guy can be there on time. Come on I'll explain everything on our way there."Amara was quick to put on her flats then get her purse and coat, she was confused and secretly worrying if she had put her precious assistant in real danger by telling him to go to Matteo's."Paolo had tracked Duffy to his place just
"But this does not concern Amara! this is my issue with HR." Peter stands his ground. It was his mistake, he shouldn't let the man be in line for the position. He knows that he was a bit unstable yet he thinks that his name was needed as an option only. Peter didn't think that he would make such threats against Amara who voted no for him.Peter was exhausted when he slipped Duffy's nameinto the candidates' list for the operational director of the new branch. But when the day comes, Amara declined his name saying her dad knows that the man has a gambling problem, and had been he had suspected of taking the company's money."Just be thankful that you know about this and come to us. Look, he's a civilian. It'll be an easy one. Don't worry okay? She's at Matteo's. I told him to keep her there for a couple of days, you just need to call her and make up an excuse." "Oh god, I don't think I can. She kn
"Are you sure? maybe I should wear jeans and a simple blouse?""Amara, you'll look good in anything baby even with only my ring." Matteo tidies her loose strands to the back of her ear."Besides with this dress, I can have easy access to your bare naked thighs.""Matteo!" she slapped his hand when he reached under her dress as she was putting on her designer heels.It was a couple of weeks after they arrived from Paris that Matteo was picking her up for dinner with his family. She was nervous for the whole day, and Peter even took her to Lionel for a full spa day relaxation though it didn't seem to do much good.But she did relax for a couple of hours when Peter decided to bring her work back to her Penthouse. In that couple of hours, she submerged herself in contract approvals, legal issues, and recruitment matters for the expansion of the new marketing and public relation scheme
"Yes, yes...okay." Matteo ended the call and told Amara that Peter is coming. "I don't think Paolo is capable of telling Peter what to do." "Yeah, he got that from me." She smiled, then both heard a knock at the door. "I'll get it." Matteo kissed his new fiance and told her to sit and enjoy her coffee. She stayed in her seat and looked out the window, her mind was back to thinking about her life, her dad, and how her life had changed in just a couple of months. She had never thought that in less than a year everything would change drastically. "Amara! nobody is giving me a straight answer, are you okay?" her trusty assistant was to her side in seconds, then his eyes went straight to her bling and he let out a high pitch scream that made the two mobs rushed to them. "OH MY GOD!" Peter hugged his beautiful boss and congratulate her, but then within moments he asked
"The condom what? Jeez, how the fuck can you do that? nevermind...don't answer it." Paolo sounded a bit shocked yet he was amused by his situation. "Just, hack the feed to her hallway. Nothing should happen, but I need her safe. I'll be back in an hour maximum two, and don't say anything to Peter." Matteo ended the call and took a taxi to the nearest jewelry store after he asks the hotel concierge before he leaves the hotel. He didn't know how to choose a ring, he hasn't got a clue about jewelry all he knows it's gotta be expensive. But then he was reminded of Amara's simple taste then he groaned when the sales lady was giving him so many choices. He has been looking for more than half an hour and he was running out of time. "Sir, I advise you to take a couple of pictures and send it to her best friend, or someone close to her who knows her taste..." the woman looked at him with pity, he cleared his
"You know that I don't like you flirting with strangers? I thought we've established that conclusion back at the Keys?" Peter nervously followed behind his still angry boyfriend, while Paolo opens his room and locked both of them inside the luxurious and stylish suite. "I'm sorry? I didn't expect you...""Hmm...wrong answer, baby," Paolo cuts his words and wrapped his hand to Peter's neck and made him looked straight at him. "I... I'm sorry." Paolo didn't say anything he just kissed him possessively, his hand was holding him tighter. He was pulling him flat to his body, his other hand was to his waist keeping him still as he ravished the squirming assistant and silenced him with his deep passionate kisses.Peter moaned in his arms, he had never been with a very dominant man, and he was finding it a bit too arousing. "You are mine, Peter."
