Chapter Ten

Whispers In The Dark

Sebastian's PoV

The beep of my phone distracted me from the document I was working on.

‘Where are you? I've got news.’

It was a text from Maria, and seeing as she doesn't call or text except it is absolutely necessary, I called her immediately, wondering what the news could be.

She picked on the second first dial and repeated. “Where are you? I've got news.”

I laughed, catching her excitement and replied. “I am still in my office. You want to come over to share the news?”

“Exactly what I had in mind.” She replied excitedly and I wondered what got her all excited.

We talked some more as she made her way to my office then after we hung up the call, I texted my secretary to instruct the office assistant to get food from Maria's favourite restaurant.

I had watched her media interviews enough to know her favourite food and even her favourite restaurant.

My secretary returned with the food just in time for Maria to inform me that she had arrived and soon she was swaying those sexy curves through my motion sensor door.

“Focus Sebastian, Focus.” I said to myself immediately I saw her but then her sophisticated citrus signature scent whiffed past my nose and my trousers became tight.

She sat down on the sofa in my office then asked how my day was before she dived into the good news.

When she finished, I asked incredulously. “That's the good news?”

I could never understand this woman, so intriguing.

“Well yeah!” She looked at me as if wondering why I didn't catch the excitement of the news. “I got to watch security throw them out.”

She said the last part more to herself and I realized that as much as she claimed it was good news, she needed some form of distraction and that was why she was in my office.

My mind quickly skipped to the last time she needed distraction from her family's drama and I was more than happy to be her distraction.

I cleared my throat and shifted in my chair again because my trouser had become painfully tight at that point.

Maria sniffed twice then asked while looking around. “Sebastian, why am I perceiving truffle pasta and..and bitterballen?”

At this point, I couldn't hide my Cheshire grin any longer.

It's not everyday I get to see Mrs. Put-together-boss-lady act like a little girl who was about to be gifted her favorite candy.

I stood up and gestured for her to follow me to the small dining room at the east wing of my office.

“Sebastian, what's going on?” She asked curiously.

“I may have gotten you something for dinner because I figured that by the time you get here, Helena would not have made it home with the food you asked her to pick up.”

She looked at me incredulously. “And you got me a three course meal consisting of my favorites?

I watched with delight as she opened the different dishes and expressed her delight.

Immediately she opened the last box and saw a dark chocolate tart inside, she stopped and looked at me curiously then asked. “How did you know?”

“How did I know what?”

“You have a three course meal on this table and every single one is my favourite. You also have a bottle of Chardonnay on the table alongside orange juice. How do you know my favourite food and also my favorite bottle of wine? How did you know that I love orange juice?”

“Okay, so I did not just waltz into your office and ask you to marry me. I watched and read many of your interviews, enough to know some things about you. You talked expressively about your love for these foods when asked so I know about them.”

I am certain my cheeks must have added a rosy hue because she looked at me with amusement then asked. “Oh my God! Are you blushing?”

“Oh, come off it!” I jokingly reproved her.

“Dudeee, you are so blushing right now.” She teased me and moved closer so that she could see my cheeks.

She continued teasing me and tried to see my cheeks and I moved further away from her while hiding my cheeks even though I knew that they would be normal already.

I did this because I had never seen her laugh and be this carefree before.

With the little I knew about the woman I would soon call my wife, I knew that she deliberately decided to have some fun tonight. She was too calculated to indulge in activities due to the spur of the moment.

In order to prevent her from grabbing my hands on my cheeks, I grabbed her waist and turned her around to face me.

The idea was to distract her but immediately after she turned and her body hit mine, I knew I would not be able to let go.

Her breath hitched as I slowly pushed my hands up her waist, exploring her body, telling her body with my hands that I missed it.

She sucked in her breath when my exploring hands squeezed her lower back then she raised her hands and pulled my head down then whispered against my lips “Kiss me, now!”

I didn't need to be ordered twice. I smashed my lips on hers and moaned at how incredibly luscious it was.

My member became painfully hard as my body remembered every moment spent with her that one passionate night a few years ago.

I rubbed my member against her lower body and she moaned in my mouth. It was all so ecstatic I was about to lose my mind and we had not even taken our clothes off.

She pulled back all of a sudden and stood there staring at me with heaving breath. I couldn’t take my eyes off her because she looked so gorgeous with ruffled hair, well kissed lips and lust filled eyes.

“This vision of you right now” I said almost breathlessly, “will always be in my head. So gorgeous!”

She gave me a sultry smile and said in a sultry whisper. “Yeah? What about this vision?” then she started taking off her clothes slowly.

“Maria…” I said breathlessly but she didn’t allow me finish the hazy thought in my head, because she took slow steps towards me, raised herself on her tippy toes  and placed her fore finger on my lips.

“Shhh, I want you right now.” She simply said and I marveled at how she confidently stated what she wanted.

Women always behaved in two particular ways when around me. They were either flushed and not know what to do with themselves or they flirted but here was a confident woman who knew exactly what she wanted and would state it plainly.

I moved closer to her and whispered against her lips. “I’m yours to do with as you like.”

She kissed me for a while then pushed me backwards till I fell down on the couch in my office, then she said. “Just so you’d know. This, happening right now is not the norm. It’s just a one time thing.”

“Okay.” I agreed and pulled her down on the couch with me.
