Chapter 9

We got to the cafe and ordered breakfast. I couldn't take my eyes off Asher.

In his anger at the meeting he had ruffled his hair with his hand and that had given him a very dangerous look.

I would love to admit that my boss was hot.

His ruffled hair was giving me other ideas.

My mind voluntarily went back to our first night in the car.

How I had grabbed his hair and pulled.

Thinking of that night made me shiver.

‘Do you feel sick?’ Asher's voice woke me up from my engrossed thoughts .

It was then I realized that Goosebumps had coated my sleeveless arm.

‘I feel fine sir. Just a little bit cold.’ I replied, taking my coat which I had taken off earlier from the chair and draped it around me.

‘Regarding my earlier question, Miss Amaris, what is your reply?’ He was done eating and was waiting for me to finish.

My mind awry with different kinds of thoughts.

He couldn't get enough of me and he wants it again?

Was my boss attracted to me?

I know I shouldn't be having thoughts like this let alone talking about it because it could lead me into serious trouble in the office especially among the board of directors who are practically obsessed with the heirs lifestyle and would want him to marry someone who is beneficial to the company.

Wait!

Marriage??

What's making me think about marriage?

It was purely sex between my boss and I.

Maybe tonight will be a night of pure ecstasy.

So I smiled before saying

‘yes I am free tonight’.

‘Good’.

After paying the bills we quietly drove back to the office with Asher's eyes almost burning through the back of my head.

When we got to the office, I was once again buried in the work on my desk. The office was quiet apart from interval requests from Asher demanding for one file or the other.

After lunch break, the telephone rang.

‘Yes sir?’

‘Come to my office Miss Amaris’. He hung up.

I adjusted my skirt and walked into the office.

He was bending over a cupboard perhaps searching for something with his firm buttocks prodding out.

‘are you enjoying the view?’

I blushed and turned away from ‘the view’.

‘I can't seem to find the contract we signed last week’. His brows furrowed and his eyes were laced with concentration.

‘Have you checked the desk drawers sir?’

‘Yes I have. You can check it again if you wish’. He said giving me space to pass since he was standing between the desk and the cupboard.

As I passed beside him or rather tried to since the space was barely enough for two people, my bottom grazed him.

My backside was quite generous.

It was awkward trying to wiggle past him.

‘Miss Amaris..’ He growled with his face distorted with desire or lust?

I felt his hand on my waist and he cupped one of my bottom cheek.

He slowly moved his hand from my bottom to my neck kissing it from behind.

His teeth grazed my neck.

He bit me and sucked on my skin.

I am definitely sure that would leave a hickey.

His hand kept on moving, it slid down my neck into my shirt ripping it and onto my breast. Since the bra was in the way he gave it a firm squeeze.

‘Why do you keep on tempting me?’ his voice was laced with need.

His hand found its way into my bra and he pinched my nipple.

My breath hitched.

I tried swallowing but I stood there unable to move while his hands moved, feeling every part of my breast squeezing it, making my legs quiver with pain, pleasure and need.

His other hand slid up my leg into my skirt.

‘it’s so smooth.. so soft’. He muttered in my ear.

His hands lingered on my thighs and kept on moving up and down. Then his hand reached my entrance and touched my panties and it ignited the already burning flame in me making me moan. He teased me by circling his hand on my panties. I squeezed my legs with his hand in between.

Suddenly his hands spun me around and his lips covered mine.

He kissed me slowly at first. His weight on me made me rest on the table and I kissed him back.

His hand moved up my stomach and cupped my breast.

His tongue slid into my mouth and he sucked. He slid out again and sucked on my lower lip. My hands gripped the edge of the table.

His hands went to my bottom again grabbing them both he lifted me up and my legs curled around his waist and my hands snaked around his neck pulling him close to me.

Suddenly he let me go as if I burned his fingers and as I fell I hit my back on the edge of his desk.

But the pain was nothing compared to the one I felt in my chest.

‘Don't worry I will find the contract myself. You may leave'. He wasn't even looking at me.

Stunned was not even a word that could describe how I felt.

Astonished was even inadequate.

I was flabbergasted.

I wanted to see his face to see if he really meant it.

I wanted to turn him around and ask him what was wrong.

I wanted to hug Him and ask him what was hurting him.

But I didn't.

My pride was hurt.

My chest kept on burning.

I straightened my skirt and left without waiting to arrange my rumbled shirt.

My eyes watered immediately when I got to my office.

I blinked my eyes immediately.

Why are you crying?

When I found out Garrett had cheated on me I didn't feel this hurt.

I arranged my shirt and went to my seat.

‘Asher baby..!’

I turned to find Sabrina, his ‘supposed to be wife’ strolling down to the office in all her glory.

She was dressed in a short white gown that revealed all her curves which was enough to send all men going on their knees to worship her body and some girls green with envy.

The telephone rang.

I contemplated on picking considering what had happened earlier.

Why mix business with pleasure?

I will show him professional.

‘sir?’

‘If that lady enters my office you are fired’. He then hung up.

I immediately got up with the door’s key in my hand and locked Asher in before hurrying back to my seat.

Seeing me moving from my seat to the door, Sabrina stopped for a minute eyeing me before approaching the door.

She gave me a very heated glare before reaching for the handle of the door.

‘Asher!’

She walked to my seat and smiled smugly.

‘You think you can steal him away from me?’ She was trailing her nails on my face.

I kept on staring directly into her eyes without replying.

‘listen here slut, Asher and I will get married as we were supposed to.’ Her eyes went to the red love bite on my neck.

I am sure she saw red before pulling my hair.

‘ouch..! Miss Sabrina, Mr Hardin said not to let you in.' I managed to say while trying to free my hair from her claws.

‘let me in this instant!’ she demanded like a child stubbornly asking for candy.

‘Let go or I will have to call security’. I said hoping that scares her while I was reaching for the telephone.

She let go not before giving my hair a hard pull.

She then walked out of the office.

I am certain Asher had seen all that happened through the glass wall but he didn't even mutter a single word.
