Chapter Eighteen

Sparks Fly

Helena's POV:

  I stared up at Keith Winchester and wondered if he was really the big shark everyone feared in the corporate legal world.

  We both ran in the same legal sphere but he was all the way at the top, famous for trampling his opponents legally and for being insanely handsome like his best friend Sebastian.

  “Uhmm, thank you?” I wasn't sure why he was acting that way and he noticed that I was puzzled so he cleared his throat, gave a small awkward laugh and moved backwards.

  “Do I know you?” He asked with furrowed brows and I saw again why women were all over him but I heard he was too busy to give them any attention.

  Just like his best friend, Sebastian but then a woman who happened to be my best friend was slowly but surely getting his attention unintentionally.

  “Uhh, we must have attended the same conference. I am a corporate lawyer.”

  He squinted his eyes and pointed at me. “Helena Montoya. Do you work with Joe and Hopkins firm?”

  “That's me.” I pulled out my innocent smile because I knew what was coming next but he surprised me instead.

  “Aha! You're the one who shook up our firm from the comfort of your office. I didn't attend that meeting because I was away on a business trip but my father wouldn't stop talking about you.” He finished and laughed with amazement.

  “Uhh, thank you?” I didn't know if he was complimenting me, although it sounded like one.

  “The report, I read the report and I must say, you were freaking brilliant. Very impressive. Can I buy you a drink…say..later tonight?”

  I looked at Maria and Sebastian who were looking at us as if they were watching an amusing movie, then looked back at Keith. “Sure. A drink tonight would be nice.”

  He flashed me a boyish grin and I cleared my throat to prevent myself from batting my lashes numerous times and gushing over him.

  'He's so hot, I wouldn't mind him in my bed for one night' I checked myself and thought ‘Woah, Helena, take a chill pill.’

  We all sat down and talked about Maria's incident with the media house and devised plans in order to stay ahead.

  I can't blame Maria and understand her desire to remain single for as long as she could still she had to be Mrs. Bolt.

  It wasn't a tiny shoe to wear, and every move she made would be scrutinized by the public.

  Also, I know a part of her still mulled over the craziness of the situation that would make her marry a total stranger in a few weeks.

  She was too occupied with her company and the fear of becoming Mrs. Bolt that she didn't even realize that Sebastian was starting to fall in love with her and a part of me had always suspected that Maria liked him or maybe it was just the sex.

  I bet Sebastian didn't even realize that he was falling for her but I guess I would leave it to time and circumstances to reveal what I already knew to them.

  We had a delicious lunch after discussions and went back home.

  Later that night, I got ready to meet Keith at one of the elite restaurants in town.

  I decided to fire up things a bit by wearing one of the shortest gowns I had. It hugged my body like a second skin and the upper part of the gown left only a little to the imagination.

  I had one mission in mind; ride Keith Winchester in bed.

  Maria laughed when she saw me and then half shouted. “Slut! I know what you're up to. I saw immediately you agreed to have a late night drink.”

  I rolled my eyes playfully and asked. “Well, what am I up to?”

  “You intend to turn Keith to one of your pretty boytoys. How exactly are you happy jumping from one guy to another?”

  “Number one, I don't jump from one guy to another. They are just three and Keith will be the fourth if he wants to be. We all know that it's a non-committed beneficial relationship and that's all. Everybody is happy.”

  She shook her hand and raised her hand like she did everytime I explained it to her and said. “I can't deal. Have fun with Keith tonight, darling.”

  I blew her a kiss then entered my car and drove to the restaurant.

  “Wow! You look breathtakingly gorgeous.”  Keith commented immediately he saw me.

  I thanked him and we sat down then I smiled as I studied his face. He was so attracted to me, that he didn't know what to do with himself. We ordered our drinks.

  “You are very attractive. Has anyone told you that?” I asked him boldly and smiled as beautiful reddish hues settled on his cheek.

  “Oh my God! Are you blushing?” I asked and he pushed his face downwards and playfully muttered “stop but thank you, though.”

  The waiter brought our drinks and I took a slow sip and then gave him a slow lingering smile then licked my bottom lips when I saw his eyes follow the movement of my mouth.

  He swallowed and shifted in his chair then said. “You are bold. I've never had a woman say these things to me before.”

  “Really? What do they say?” I asked in a sexually enthralling tone.

  “They..they uh stare, blush and behave as if cats got their tongues.” He replied, distracted.

  “Do you like the way I talk to you then?”

  “Yes, I do. I like it very much.”

  “Do you know what else I can do?” I asked then pushed my curly hair backwards and started hand fanning myself to expose my shoulders.

  “Helena?”

  “Yes, Keith?” I answered innocently.

  “Do you..do you want to come home with me tonight?” He asked boldly.

  I smiled and replied. “I thought you'd never ask. Let's go.”

  I stood up, and swayed my hips to the elevator. There was no use pretending. I knew what I wanted and went straight for the target.

  Keith quickly paid the bills then joined me in the elevator and immediately the door closed we rushed at each other and started kissing.

  He grabbed my breast and I moaned with pleasure pushing my hands down his body but we reluctantly pulled apart when the elevator opened.

  We entered his car after paying the valet to park my car safely.

  While in his car, we had to stay apart because of his driver but our hands quietly roamed around each other's bodies.

  When we entered his penthouse, he muttered as if in pain. “Man! Those were the longest minutes in my life.” Then he grabbed me closer to him and slammed his mouth on mine.

  As we kissed, our hands roamed each other's bodies, pulling, tearing off and raising up until we were both naked and in his bedroom. How we got there? I don't know.

  We pulled apart for a while and I stood heaving deeply as his eyes roamed around my body. “Beautiful. So beautiful.”

  “I know, so come here!” I took two steps towards him and dragged his head down so his lips would caress mine and soon he dragged me down on the bed with him.
