The day was going as expected as always bit I was on front desk duty in front of Damien’s office. I was trying my best to get my work done and not thinking about Damien or the way he had looked this morning when he demanded I sit at the desk. I was focused on the documents in front of me, sorting through them where I heard someone’s footsteps approaching. I looked up and saw it was the woman from the other day- Becca, she was looking as confident as always and had on a very expensive outfit and her cologne screamed luxury too so I knew she was rich. She barely spared me a glance as she disappeared into Damien’s office without knocking.I rolled my eyes. Becca had been circling Damien for weeks now, her flirtation as obvious as her too-tight pencil skirts. Not that it mattered to me. I didn’t care who Damien moved around with- it wasn’t like it bothered me anyways. At least, that was what I kept telling myself. About theory minutes later, Becca walked out of the office looking… well
Before I knew it, Damien had gotten out of his chair and walked to me, closing the distance that was between us in just few steps. He held my hand tightly but not painfully as he held me in place. He pushed me against the wall, his body towering over mine as his dark eyes bored into mine. “Enough,” he growled, his voice a dangerous rumble. “I have had enough of your attitude, Amanda.”My breathe caught in my throat and my brain screamed at me to just apologize and leave but I was too stubborn. I glared at him with my heart racing. “What? Did my words hurt? Or is it just hard to hear the truth?”He clenched his teeth and for a moment, I thought he was going to snap and yell at me. But to my surprise, he leaned in to me, his warm breath fanning over my ear as he spoke. “You don’t want me to touch or fuck you, which is fine. But I would do many things to you to show you that you aren’t meant to talk to me like you just did.” An involuntary shiver ran down my spine as the heat radiating
I was a trembling mess and I was still struggling to steady my breathing and gather myself. The cool surface of Damien’s desk beneath me felt solid, grounding, but my mind was chaos. I had let him have his way with me again, let him see me vulnerable and in a powerless state where all that was in my head was his hands on my body and the way he was pleasuring me.I had shameless been aroused by his words and touched and I had lost control. This wasn’t me, I never lost control, I was never weak like Emma. I was Amanda and I was mad at myself once again.I turned around and tried to loosen the tie that was still tied around my now sore wrist but Damien stopped me, leaned into me and bit gently on my ear. He whispered into my ear and he hot breath against my skin sent shivers all over my body. “Now,” he murmured, his tone dark and intoxicating, “kneel, take my dick out of my pants and suck it like your life depends on it.”I became stiff and every feeling of desire that was once in me vani
I hadn’t seen Damien in weeks. It was strange, almost unbearable, how much he occupied my thoughts despite the distance between us. The transfer to a different department had been my choice, a clean break to avoid complications. But I just couldn’t stop thinking about him, I wasn’t haunted by the feel of his touch and warmth of his body against me. I couldn’t get over how much I had miss seeing his confident aura and in the room filled with people or the way he dominated and commanded people to do what he wanted. And no matter how much I tried to bury myself in work, I just couldn’t get him out of my head. Every time I closed my eyes, he was there wiring for me, looking so real and calling on to me. I refused to give in to my thoughts so I threw myself into work and tried to get back on track. I even made sure to avoid the floor where he office was located on and I took the stairs instead of the elevator to make sure I didn’t mistakenly run into him by any means. For the first time
After confirming the time Andrew would pick me up, I bid him farewell and made me way home. Once I got into my apartment, I stripped from my office wear and soaked in the bath tub, allowing myself relax and washing away all the tired of the busy day.Andrew was going to arrive soon so I started looking for a dress to wear. My eyes landed on a black dress Jay had gotten fit me and I just knew it was the perfect outfit for the party.I quickly fixed my hair and did a light makeup before getting into the dress. It was a beautiful, silky dress that hugged every curves of my body. The bold neckline left just enough room for the imagination without being excessive. I twisted slightly to appreciate the way the silk shimmered in the light as I gazed at myself in the mirror. I was looked amazing and I knew it.I quickly grabbed my things and put it in my purse and waited for a text from my date. Few minutes later, a notification popped up on my phone, it was Andrew telling me he was almost at m
Andrew introduced me to some of our colleagues that I didn’t know and the night passed by on a blur. For most of it, I was just having small talks here and there, smiling while acting interested in the conversation as well. As much as I tried not to be bothered, I could feel Damien’s eyes on me but whenever I turned around, he was either were to be found or engaged in a conversation. I pushed my worries aside and tired to enjoy the party but I just couldn’t because I had something to do and I was wasting time.Finally, I saw my chance. Everyone that was talking to me were now engaged in a different conversation or dancing. Andrew had excused himself and gone to make a call, so I slipped away from the people I was standing with and made my way out of the room, heading for the stairs that led upstairs.I needed answers, and this was the perfect opportunity to search without prying eyes.But I got lost and ended up in the wrong place when I turned a corner.I froze in place, my breathe ca
Immediately he exited the restroom, I let out a small breath to steady myself. My knees were weak and I was still horny but I walked to the mirror, leaned against the bathroom sink and stared at reflection that was staring back at me, flushed cheeks and trembling hands betraying the storm inside me. What had I been thinking, agreeing to one last encounter with Damien? Or, better yet, what was I not thinking?I was glad he’d been interrupted. Glad that nothing had happened. I didn’t understand how I lost every bit of self control I had everytime I was around him. My body has betrayed me once again and my thoughts were all over the place. But now that he was gone, I was set on remaining focused.I had only one reason for coming to the dinner party tonight, a mission I couldn’t afford to backtrack on because of my lust or Damien’s sexy body or anytime else. I opened the the tap and poured come water on my face to wake me up and get every last horniness out of me before turning around and
But my prayers weren’t answered, the door slowly opened and Ryan walked into the office, his shadow looked dangerous and merciless under the dim lights.“Why are you here when the party is downstairs?” He asked me in a low voice, his voice had a dangerous edge to it and I swallowed nervously.I stood up, using my body to hide the compartment where her folder was stored. “I could actually ask you the same thing.”He narrowed his eyes and cocked an eyebrow at me smugly as he walked further into the room. His eyes clouded with lust as he looked at me from head to toe. “I’ve been watching you ever since you walk through the door tonight. You’ve been socializing and talking to everyone which you don’t do on a normal day. And now, you’re here alone in the dark age shaking around. What are you really up to, Amanda?”“I don’t need to tell you anything,” I replied him, my voice was steady despite my shakiness and I was pleased with myself.His lips curled up into a smirk and a wicked expression
“Let’s make a plan,” I said, turning all my attention to him after I finished sorting through the papers. “What do you suggest we do?” “You already said we should stake out at the office,” he replied me. “You can’t be seen there so how do you think we should go about it?” “Anything we plan has to work, Andrew,” I said, my voice low and firm as I thought about what we could possibly do. Andrew nodded, running his hand through his hair. “It would work, there’s no other option.” I didn’t respond, making the room fall into silence as I thought hard about what could work- something so good that nothing could ruin it. A few minutes passed and a brilliant idea popped up in my head. “This is what we’re going to do,” I finally spoke up, sitting up straighter. “You’re going to act like you have a shitload of work to do and you have no other choice than to stay back at work.” “Hmn,” Andrew said, fully focusing on me. “Go on.” “Okay,” I replied with a nod. “You’ll stay late at the office
Andrew and I went our separate ways, promising to meet each other the next day. I was glad that I now had someone who could help me in my plans by my side, I had thoughts of giving up but Andrew had renewed my determination. The coffee that I had finally left my apartment for had gotten cold, so I just tossed into the trash can and walked back home, feeling a bit better and letting out a sigh as I made my way back. I couldn’t wait for what was to come next nor could I wait to see the look on Ryan’s face when I’m done with him. He had gotten away for too long and soon, her meet his end. Just like her had promised, Andrew showed up at my house the next day and I let him on. We quickly began working on how he would get the documents from the office and copy the ones he could to his laptop. Getting the files was going to be difficult but we were set on accomplishing our mission and didn’t care what it would cost. Over the next few days, we kept meeting up and discussing plans. Andr
“What’s that?”“You won’t believe what I just found out about recently,” he said, his voice was barely above a whisper. His voice was low and I knew whatever he wanted to say was confidential because he didn’t want anyone to hear about it. I raised an eyebrow, eyeing him suspiciously. “What are you going on about? Just say it as it is,” I said, already getting frustrated by the suspense. “It’s Ryan,” he replied, saying the name like it was was some kind of poison but he was still keeping me in suspense.“What about Ryan?” I asked, urging him on. “Ever since you left the firm, he’s been making life hell for everyone at the company,” he replied. I didn’t know it was going to turn into this, he had been on a business trip for a while before I left the company and while I was there, he seemed… civil. So, I didn’t understand what was up with him and his new behavior, did Cloris tell him something?“Making life hell?” I repeated, looking at him with a blank expression. “What is he doin
I could feel both their eyes on me but I didn’t care. I wanted to go far away from there, disappear even. They could go back to their talking and getting to know each other better because all I wanted to do was to be alone and find a way to stop feeling like that. After a few more minutes of staying alone, I finally felt a bit better but I was tired of staying outdoors and just wanted to go back to my room and drown in my sorrow or just rot in my bed and sleep my sadness away. “Are you fine, Amanda?” Andrew asked, his voice drawing me out of my thoughts.“Yeah, I am,” I lied yet again, turning to look at him. His eyes were filled with concern and I couldn’t help but feel bad because I had made him leave Anna behind just to check on me. “Where’s Anna?” I asked, trying to change the topic as I looked past his shoulders and realized she was not longer seated there. “Oh, she had somewhere to be so we just exchanged number and she said we could meet up next week,” he replied me, his e
“Thank you, Miss?” “Em- Amanda,” I quickly corrected myself, not wanting to blow off my cover. “Oh-“ she said. “You look familiar but I guess my mind is just playing tricks on me.”My heart skipped a beat at her words and I wanted to admit to her that not only did I look familiar, I was her cousin but I held myself back and didn’t say anything. “Thank you once again,” she spoke up, her eyes filled with sincerity as she finally stopped crying. “You don’t need to thank me,” I replied, my voice quiet. “I’m just happy that you’re fine.”She gave me a small nod before turning back to Andrew who was now standing with an unreadable expression on his face. “And thank you,” she said, her voice steadier now. “You saved me.”A blush crept up Andrew’s cheek and he scarfed the back of his head awkwardly. “It was really nothing. I was just helping,” he replied awkwardly. “It wasn’t nothing,” Anna insisted, a small smile breaking through her tears. “You were amazing.”“I just… I mean, anyone w
“Amanda!” Andrew called, making my stop in my tracks. I was still frozen in place when he walked up to me and grabbed me by my hand and pulled me towards him. “What do you think you’re doing, huh?” He asked, his voice soft but firm. “Do you really think going there without a plan in mind is a good idea?”I tried to pull away, my heart racing as I glanced toward Anna. She was still struggling against the masked man, her cries piercing the air.“I can’t just stand here!” I whisper yelled at him, my voice shaky and filled with desperation. “And what do you plan on doing just by going there? Don’t you see that he’s dangerous?” Andrew challenged, his tone calm but resolute. “You’ll rush over there and… what? Get yourself hurt too? Be smart, Amanda.”I opened my mouth to respond, but my words failed to form, I couldn’t even think of the prosper things to say. He was right, I didn’t have a plan. Hell! I wasn’t even thinking. I just wanted to save her, it’s been so long and the first day I
“Andrew,” I called, my voice soft and cautious. “I need to say something to you.”His smile faltered. “Okay…”I exhaled, making an effort to speak carefully and avoid offending him. “I am really sorry for the way I have treated you up until today. I know I’ve ignored you, been distant and even rude to you when all you tried to do was to be there,” I started, my voice filled with sincerity. “You didn’t deserve any of that.”“Amanda-““Wait, let me finish,” I spoke up again, cutting him off. “I have been cold to you. I know you… care about me, like me even. Probably more than you should. And I hate that I can’t feel the same way.”Andrew kept looking at me with an unreadable expression, but like I asked, he didn’t try to say anything or cut me off. “It’s not that you’re not handsome or amazing, because you are,” I continued. “And I know any woman would be lucky to have you as their partner. But… I can’t reciprocate your feelings. My heart is… elsewhere. And I’m sorry if it seemed lik
“I know that you are,” he replied almost immediately. “I know you and I can tell that you’re lying.”“Did you call to argue about my mental state or what?” I asked him, my voice filled with mock seriousness. “Okay. Okay, I’m sorry,” he apologized, his voice filled with sincerity. “But, you really do sound like someone that run over by a big emotional truck.”I huffed out a laugh despite myself. “Thanks for that visual, Andrew. Very helpful.”“See, I can make you laugh,” he said and I good tell that he was smiling. “But, seriously Amanda, you don’t sound like yourself at all and it’s quite heartbreaking to see you that is always strong like this.”He meant to make me feel better with his words but I couldn’t help but be reminded of how far I had steered from why I really came back to this city. “Thank you, for looking out for me,” I whispered into the phone, not sure if he had heard me. “So, this is what we are going to do to help you feel better,” Andrew started, his voice now fille
Looking up to see who I had bumped into, it was not one else other than Andrew. “Oh it’s you,” he said as his eyes met with mine. I quickly averted my eyes and dropped it back to the floor, increasing my pace in trying to gather my things together so I could run- run as far as possible away from him and this building. “Amanda?” He called, his tone soft but probing. “What is going on? Where are you rushing to? And why are you carrying a box of… everything?”I had no idea of what I was going to day to him, how was I even supposed to reply him? I kept my eyes glued to the floor, unable to meet his eyes. “It’s… it’s nothing,” I finally managed to say, my voice trembling. “Amanda,” he called my name again, his voice firmer this time as he placed his hand on mine to stop me. “Talk to me, you know you can. What happened?”The dam broke. The tears I was holding back fell free, one slipped down my cheeks followed by another and then another. I bit my lips gently, trying to get myself toge
