I’m running as fast as I can through the trees, my heart is racing. I feel like it will explode any minute. I can see the opening in the gate, my escape isn’t far off. I hear people yelling dogs barking, I know they are searching for me. I’m almost to the exit, my freedom, “Stop right there!!!” The guard yelled. I keep running, there’s a gunshot and it all goes black.
I shot up from the bed drenched in sweat, heart racing. I look at my surroundings and realize I’m in my apartment in L.A. I rub my eyes and try to focus on my room. This nightmare has been occurring every night for the past six months. Something is going to have to change so I can actually get some sleep. I look at the alarm clock, 5:30am, crawling from the bed, grabbing my work clothes and heading for the shower. Getting out of the shower I glance in the mirror and see the dark circles on my chest and shoulders. Just another reminder of my secret life, a life I wish I could get away from quickly. I walk into the kitchen for a short breakfast, Frannie my maid is cooking eggs and singing some god awful old rock and roll tune. She turns around to see me watching, “Good morning Mr. McAlister, would you like toast with your eggs?” “Yes Frannie, that would be great, I need to leave pretty quickly. I have a new assistant at the office and I need to make sure she comes back today.” I see her smile out of the corner of my eye. Frannie has been pushing me to find a wife, she is almost like a mother hen. “Make sure you’re nice to this new assistant Mr. McAlister, ``It's hard to find good workers in L.A. nowadays.” Frannie has that look on her face that makes you want to slink back to your room. She knows I’ve been pretty hard on all of the other assistants, most of them didn’t last a week. I can’t handle incompetence and laziness, most people would kiss my feet just to have this job. “I can’t help it, all of those other assistants were terrible at their job, Ashley just sat there staring at me, Melissa spilled my coffee on my lap twice in one day,” I couldn’t look her in the eye and tell her the real reasons I fired them. I needed an assistant with some fire in her personality, not someone that was so scared of me she dumped coffee in my lap because she was shaking so bad. I waved goodbye to Frannie and headed for the elevator. If I left now I could beat rush hour and make it to the office before Lilly arrived. Gary was waiting for me with the car door open, sometimes I think he has a sixth sense he always knows when I’m heading down to the car. “Good morning Gary, I hope you didn’t wake up too early because of me,” I knew he did but I was trying to be nice. “Of course not sir, I naturally wake up early,” Gary stated sarcastically. I smiled at him and moved to get in the car. I rolled down the privacy window so I could speak to Gary. “Gary, I have something I need you to do. I have a new assistant at the office. Her name is Lilly Peters and I need to make sure her background is good. I don’t want another mishap like Ashley happening.” Gary looked at me through the rearview mirror, he understood me without having to ask questions. “If you don’t mind me asking sir, was Ashley taken care of or is she still around?” I knew what he ment, I had a frown on my face and responded with, “She’s taken care of.” Ashley ended up working for some of my competition, her background check was not done thoroughly so she slipped through the system and into my records. By the time I figured out who she was she knew too much about my secret life, I couldn’t just let her walk away.I woke up wondering how today was going to go with Logan McAlister; it has been a week and he has been extremely irritating since the day I started. I’m not sure if I can handle working for him much longer before I blow up, he knows how to push every button I have without even trying. The only plus side to Mr. McAlister is that I get to look at his sexy smile every day, what I wouldn’t give just to kiss those sexy soft lips of his.When I arrived at the office, Logan was in his office yelling at someone on the phone. I'm just glad it isn’t me this time. I lightly knocked on his door to see if he wanted his coffee, “What!” Logan yelled towards the door.“Sorry Mr. McAlister, I just wanted to see if you wanted your coffee,” I said sheepishly. Why does he always have to be in such a bad mood towards me, I really don’t understand what I have done so wrong?“Can you not see that I am busy on the phone? Why would you come knock on my door when I’m sure you could hear me on the phone?” He so
When we pulled up to the café I was shocked to see how little and normal the café was. I was thinking Logan would go somewhere exotic or fancy but maybe I was thinking of Logan the wrong way. The dry cleaner he goes to is also in a small neighborhood that isn’t fancy at all, I’m definitely starting to think I may have been wrong about Mr. McAlister. He helped me out of the black Mercedes he drove. We walked into the café and sat close to the big open window facing the busy street. I loved people watching so this table was perfect and maybe it could distract me from thinking about Logan McAlister too much.The waitress arrived and offered us free samples while we were waiting. I already liked this café. I wasn’t really in the mood for a big lunch at the moment so I just ordered a blueberry muffin and a coffee. Logan gave me a sideways glance, “Are you sure you don’t want anything more than that? It is my treat, no need to worry about paying.”“No, I'm fine, I’m not really that hungry.
After getting home from the office I set my keys on the table and poured myself a scotch. I didn’t know how to go about getting Lilly to go on a date with me so I just said the first thing that came to my head. I can’t believe I actually made a bet that I could go a month without yelling or being rude, I’m really going to have to keep control of myself. I’ve always had a temper problem when things aren’t going as planned, I guess now is the time to learn how to control it. Lilly has to be one of the most beautiful women I have ever laid eyes on; she has those sexy exotic eyes and full luscious lips that I could kiss all day. I loved how she stood up to me when I got angry, that’s the kind of woman I needed in my life, someone that wasn’t scared of me. Maybe I should start sending her flowers every few days and see if it calms her fire. I walked into the kitchen to see Frannie making dinner, “So how did it go today with your new assistant?” she asked. “Well I think I might have m
I came out of my office to head to a meeting across town. I noticed the huge arrangement of orange and yellow lilies and smiled to myself. I would definitely have to thank Frannie later for such a good choice in flowers. “Lilly I will be leaving for the afternoon due to some meetings across town, can you make sure to email me any messages I receive?” “Sure thing Mr. McAlister”, Lilly replied. As I looked towards her desk I stated, “Wow someone must have a special person back home if they are sending flowers like this.” Lilly blushed bright red and stated, “Actually, I have no idea who they are from, but they definitely are beautiful.” She leaned over to smell the flowers giving me a great view down her satin blouse. I couldn’t help but look at her perfectly round breasts. “Well, was there a card or anything?” I asked. “Yes but it doesn’t say who it’s from”, she stated with a frown. “All it says is beautiful flowers for a beautiful woman.” “So it sounds like you may have a secret
As I was packing up my things to leave the office I received a phone call from Lisa, I answered quickly since I hadn’t talked to her in a week. “Hi Lisa, I miss you so much!!” I exclaimed.Lisa seemed thrilled that I answered, “I’m so glad you answered because I wanted to tell you that I’m thinking about coming to visit you this weekend.”I hated that I was going to have to tell Lisa no due to the meeting in Seattle, “I’m sorry Lisa; I can’t this weekend because I have to fly to Seattle with my boss for a meeting.”I could hear that she was kind of bummed but she replied, “Oh it's ok maybe the following weekend I can come up, I wanted to fill you in on the latest things around town here. I also wanted to tell you that I am talking to a guy and I think it is working out.”Lisa seemed so happy when she said that last part, I could picture her smiling as she said it. "Oh my god, who is it Lisa? I have to know!""Well remember before you left you told me Alex from the gas station had a th
As I was walking to the elevator to my apartment I received a text from Lilly. I decided to wait and read it after I got a shower and calmed down a little. This woman has me wrapped around her finger and she doesn't even know it. I don't know how I'm going to keep my distance from her at the meeting in Seattle. I asked her to come along partly because it was protocol but mostly because I just wanted to have her to myself for a weekend.I walked off the elevator to my apartment door; I could hear Frannie singing all the way out in the hallway. I couldn't help but laugh when I scared the shit out of her walking up on her quietly. Frannie jumped and slapped me at the same time; I thought she was going to have a heart attack for a moment."Sorry Frannie I didn't mean to scare you that bad, are you ok?" I asked."Jesus Logan McAlister you should know not to come up on me like that, I almost pissed my pants," she exclaimed, breathing deeply like she was out of breath."Let's not have that h
I woke up from the best dream I’ve ever had. I could still picture Logan McAlister’s tongue between my thighs. I realized my panties were soaking wet, which wasn’t surprising considering the image I had in my head. I rolled over to look at my phone and realized it was Friday morning. I jumped out of bed to make sure I had everything packed and ready for the business trip to Seattle that afternoon. After multiple times of checking everything, I just gave up and decided it would be fine. I got dressed to go to the office and make sure everything was set there. When I walked through the elevator doors I could hear Logan on the phone having a heated conversation with someone. I knew better than to interrupt after the last incident. I went to my desk to log in to my computer and check some emails. I printed our reservations for the hotel and made sure the flight was running on time. I could hear parts of Logan’s conversation even with his office door closed. One thing that stood out was L
I watched Lilly’s face turn every shade of red and loved every minute of it. I wanted her so bad and she just shot me down with one little message. This was a first for me, I was so used to women throwing themselves at me that I didn’t expect the response I got. I do like having to work for what I want and decided it would be worth all the time and effort I put in it. We were on the plane heading to Seattle, I noticed Lilly was trying to ignore me. I could see her stiff posture and how she would casually glance over my way. I smiled to myself and thought about all the ways I would have her melting in my hands, my dick started to stir. I had to change positions hoping she wouldn’t notice the bulge in my pants. I tried to focus on the meeting tomorrow and checking my emails. We were about to land when I noticed a text message. I decided to wait to look at it until after we landed. After leaving the plane I looked at my messages. Of course it was from the one person I never wanted to s
