…Joshua POV…
Tortured bliss is what I felt as she ran circles through my mind last night as I sought the comfort of my bed. Never has one woman consumed my dreams in total ecstasy. I could feel her delicate fingers running down my sculpted chest as she laid spread over my body. In nothing but red lace, she filled the empty space that is now only meant for her. Even though my hands had the desire, I left her untouched. I want to take my time with her; I want to feel her presence and let her linger until she begs.
Somehow I think that it is me that is going to do the begging. I will count the seconds as I patiently wait to explore her body and soul.
So with what can only be described as endless hours, I have been counting the seconds as they crawled in anticipation, I find myself waiting for her. I have never felt so much nervousness creep up my spine. My heart will simply fall into an abyss if she refuses me. But even if she does, I will not give up until I have her in my arms. She has become my now, my present; she is the driving force that will determine what I do next.
And next is me that is scanning the floor from one blonde to the other. There is no sight of her, not even a glimpse. Will disappointment be the feeling that shall define my evening? I do not even wish to have any of these other women to look in my direction.
Then as I rise from my seat, it is when I see her. She is between the crowd swaying her body as the music takes her away to a place where there is nothing but the pleasure teasing your senses. It does not seem like she has any intention to come to me even after I pleaded like a hungry man.
So I find myself moving into the crowd. I sneak up from behind and wrap my arms around her waist. In an instant, she spins on her heels and faces me.
“Oh, look, it is Mr. Hamilton. Now to what do I owe this displeasure?”
“I came to help you find your way.”
“My way? I guess you are referring to me sitting with you in between all of that,” she says as she points to the group of women that surrounded me only but a moment ago.
“They mean nothing to me; they are just a solution to a problem. A problem which I do not hold for any of them.”
“Well,” she cocks her head with a sneaky smile. “You can go surround yourself with them and find a solution.”
I grab hold of her waist once again and pull her deep against the tightness of my body. And there it is, that scent that she carries so well. I take a lock of her hair and twirl it around my finger, yet another scent to pleasure all my senses.
I nip at my bottom lip and slowly whisper, “Does your entire body smell so intoxicating?”
“Well, Mr. Hamilton, there is only one way that you will ever know.”
I love every single rejection that she throws in my path; it only fuels my determination. A determination that gently nudges her chin between my fingers. And if all at once, she stops breathing and the crowd disappears, it is her and me alone.
Slowly with each breath, with each inch of a second, I pull her deep cherry lips closer to mine. She splays her hand against my chest, intending to push me away, but she lets it rest against my pounding heart. As she studies my eyes, I reflect back into hers; there are so many emotions swirling around in them.
“Joshua, please don’.”
“Then will you come to sit with me?”
Just then, she steps back and leaves my body cold. I reach out to pull her close; I want to feel the raging fire between us.
“Veronica, let us go discuss the terms of this arrangement then.”
…Veronica POV…
With one confident smile on my face that can barely hold it, we make our way upstairs away from the crowd. Now, this cat and mouse game with Joshua seems is becoming a regular thing; I do hope for his sake he is not bluffing. But what else is becoming regular are these tingles of pleasure I feel every time I lay my eyes on him.
And god, laying them on him is now earning me absolutely frustrated. Now, this is done for only two reasons, the goddamn tight jeans and the even tighter ass. He is sending my heart racing. This man with his messy brown hair and deep brown eyes is nothing but a sin.
Joshua Hamilton knows what he does to a woman, and, god does he use it. But Veronica James knows what she is doing to him, and I am going to play it for as much and as long as I can. He will not get the upper hand on me.
I finally have him within my grasp. I have to be very careful with what I demand. I don’t know what his limit is or what his experience is. Let us see how far I can push him.
"What are your terms, Mr. Hamilton?"
"I have not given that much thought."
"Then why are you in agreement."
"Honestly, I don’t know Veronica. I don’t think my father deserves you."
"So you want to prove to yourself that you are right in saying so?"
"I guess so."
"I would have thought you would be more confident about yourself, Joshua."
"Here it is. I think you are the most gorgeous women I have ever laid my eyes on. I know your reputation. I know what I probably will mean to you. Regardless I still want you. I have never been so frustrated or hard for any one woman in my life."
"I only have three rules, Mr. Hamilton. I don’t make love. I don’t cuddle. I don’t kiss."
…Joshua POV…Veronica James, the name that is running in endless circles through my tortured mind. I have never met a woman that captivates my soul so much as she does. And now, I have her in my reach, yet she has got all these rules. Rules that I am determined to break.Tonight we are going to the launch of a new range, and I am going to try my best to sweep her off her feet. By the end of the night, she will have me begging to kiss her.So as my irises scan the floor endlessly for her arrival, I settle in with a chilled glass of whiskey in my hand. The thought that she might stand me up does come to my mind, but she wants to land this deal more than anything else.And what clever way to throw myself in there.Yes, Joshua Hamilton is known to have a different woman on his arm every night; I cannot and have never been able to keep the same woman for much longer than a week at most. It is not that I have not desired such a thing; I am
This morning I had to remind myself why I do not get involved. Joshua Hamilton is demanding my time, and I am letting him to. I need to take the control back. I don’t do relationships. And if I do, then you will be lucky if it lasts more than a day or two. Right now, Joshua is getting me to do more often, and I do not feel comfortable with it.I have a meeting at Pandora this morning; running the biggest sleaze Magazine does require a lot of my time. If I am not here, then I am at The Summit Club, now The Summit Club, well, that is a whole story on its own.As I sit down at my desk, I stare out at the view overlooking the entire city. It took me a lot of favors to land this prime office space.I take my phone and dial Joshua’s number."I did not think someone like Veronica James would return my call.""Don’t think too much of it, Joshua. What is it that you wanted?""I wanted to know when I can see you again.""You a
He is messing with me. He is doing it on purpose. A good-looking man like him is not as stupid as he is acting. If I were a man, I would definitely be Joshua Hamilton.I had Joshua Hamilton’s type before; his name was Todd Jacobs. He is the reason I don’t do relationships. He is the one that taught me to take whatever and whomever I want. He surely did.I have an appointment at The Summit Club this morning with Judge Simon Lewis. One of my girls broke the rules and took a guy home. She got caught, and now I have to clean up the mess. The judge is going to make the file disappear for a favor, the kind of favor that includes having my hair pulled.Now, The Summit Club is a private men’s club that caters to the needs that most men shall not get at home. We are not truly legal, so we do our best to stay under the radar, and this is where Jake Hamilton comes in.On the way to my office, yes, I am the owner of The Summit Club too. Now on my wa
I operate the best when I am sexually charged. But some occasions require me to be a cold-hearted bitch. Today I have a problem to sort out at The Summit Club. My blood is boiling, and it is not in a good way.And as I walk into the offices at The Summit Club, Brenda can see it written all over my face, "Morning, Brenda.""Morning, Miss James.""Where is he?""In your office. He has someone with him whom I guess is his lawyer.""Please have David on hand if we need to throw him out."As I step into my office, there he is, and my god does my blood boil even further."Mr. Johnson.""Miss James."Then the other man in the room speaks, "Miss James, Scott, Leonard Scott.""I don’t quite understand why we are involving lawyers here, Mr. Johnson. You are the asshole that fucked up here. Acting like a disgusting low life. You have no dignity for yourself. I am actually surprised my girls have lasted this far with yo
I did it again; I asked Joshua out. I don’t know why I am doing it, I just can’t stop myself. I am Veronica James; I do not do relationships. But I like him and I like this feeling. I am playing with fire and I know I am going to get my fingers burned.He is picking me up in five minutes and I am scrambling around to find the perfect dress to wear. I don’t want to look slutty. Just the right combination between seductive and classy.And as he buzzes at the door only minutes before eight, I can barely hold my fucking excitement."Joshua.""Veronica. You look breath-taking tonight.""Already trying to score points, I see. So where are you taking me tonight?"You'll see."We are at a well-known pub close to the Hamilton. We walk in and find the first available booth. A reporter for some sleaze magazine snaps a photo of the both of us."You do know you have just become the gossip of the town.""Just another
I woke up this morning with a fucking smile on my face. If I could smack it off my face, I would. I don’t have anything on the agenda today. My sorry ass is going to sit and daydream over Joshua Hamilton."Morning, Janice.""Morning, Miss James. These came for you."Janice points to a large bouquet of red roses."All I need now is a stalker. Who is the unlucky idiot that sent these?""It is Mr. Hamilton.""You have sex with a guy one night, and he goes and gets clingy. Janice, you better wipe that smile off your face before I do it for you. Find me something to do today before I go crazy.""Sara from Flare phoned."I am so irritated with myself. First, there were drinks; then there was making love and now flowers. I need to destress. I wonder what this bitch wants."Sara.""Veronica, thanks for returning my call.""What do you want?""Have you read your mail this morning.""No, what do y
I have been ignoring Joshua. I don’t do relationships. He knew that from the start. I am not changing myself for anyone. I love being Veronica James. I love my lifestyle. I love who I am.The Summit Club has been going for nearly six years. We have grown considerably, so much that we have run out of space. I do not have enough room to operate from. Today’s meeting is about obtaining additional space. I wanted the Hamilton Hotel, but landing the contract has been harder than I thought it would be.I head out of my penthouse to where my driver is waiting for me. I need to play my cards right with Blake Sheraton. I have never met him before; I don’t know if he will take well to me trying to seduce him to get what I want.But it is not the Sheraton I expected. It is his son, and fuck, he is hot.Maybe this will be easier than I thought."Morning, Mr. Sheraton.""Morning, Miss James. Call me Brandon.""I was expecting you
It is yet another morning of fucking smiling after spending the night with Joshua. This is becoming a habit that I like but that I do not like as well.This is becoming complicated.Just as I am about to lose myself in actual work and not daydreaming, I hear Janice calling for me. “Miss James. Miss James. Miss James, can you hear me?”“Sorry, Janice, you were saying something?”“Brenda phoned; they need you at The Summit Club. She did not give any details, just said it was urgent.”“If some fuck tried anything with one of my girls, I am going to rip his cock off. Tell Brenda I am on my way.”I race over to the agency, all the way I am thinking of Joshua. I can't stop thinking about him kissing me. What the hell has happened to my no kissing rule. What is the purpose of having rules if I am just going to break them?As I step inside the office at The Summit Club, I find Brenda oddly compo
Brenda had just dropped a bomb on me. Tom has been hiding who he is. I am not pissed off, not yet.Brenda ~”He is Thomas Hedford.”Brenda ~”Did you think they will snap a photo of you and one of your employees?”
I am sitting at my desk staring out the window. If you put the circumstances behind, yesterday was the best sex I have ever had in my life.I know it is not fair to Joshua. But Joshua is the one I love, sex means nothing when you are in love. Or so I think.Tom has gone missing. I have not heard from him or seen him since yesterday. I don’t know if I should be looking for him. I don’t even know where to begin.But I have another problem to deal with now. I have the copies of Flare and You in front of me. Someone is going to pay for this.The covers read."Veronica ~ James : Kiss & Tell""Veronica ~ James : Heartthrob stealing a kiss"********************Tom and I are plastered all over the f
I am nervous. I have never been nervous when it comes to sex. Am I nervous for me or am I nervous for Tom. This was a stupid idea. There is no turning back now.Tom ~”Morning Veronica.”Veronica ~”Tom.”Tom ~”Do we need to talk about this?”Veronica ~”Just be yourself. Be prepared for anything.”Tom ~”Just so you know I am recording this.”Veronica ~”Why?”Tom ~”To have something I can use against this asshole.”Brenda ~”Miss James Dylan is here.”Dylan ~”Morning Veronica, Tom.”Veronica ~”Dylan.”&nb
I am playing with fire and I am going to get burned. I am breaking my own rules over and over again. I am breaking Tom's rules too. But I am enjoying it. I am enjoying being with Tom.I was fresh out college, fresh in the industry when I met him, Sam. We were inseparable, he was my world. I did not think I could love anyone more than I did him. I thought that we would get married. But one day I caught him kissing her, my boss. My heart was devastated, I thought we had something special. I thought he was mine and I was his. I vowed that I would never love again after that, that I would kiss no man ever again.
I have a problem. A big problem. In fact I have three.Problem number one has to be Dylan. The guy is hot but hell he is creepy. I dread the day he finally decides what he wants and comes knocking on my door. I am curious about him but not that curious.Problem number two is Tom. I wish I knew what was going through my thick skull when I decided to kiss him. I broke both our rules. He is hot and he definitely knows what he is doing. He is also very talented, I am scared of how talented he can be.Problem number three is a problem in itself. Joshua. He is patiently waiting for me and will continue to do so no matter what I do. I want to be with him but I also don’t. This is a confusing one, I don’t know what it is I really feel for him.Tom ~”Veronica.”Veronica ~”Tom.
I am nervous, I don't do nervous, but I am doing it now. This is a big deal, this is a big client, we have to sign him. No matter the risks.Tom ~”Veronica are you seriously going to wear that?”Veronica ~”What is wrong with this?”
I am in Joshua's office. I just kissed him. I have been wanting to do it the whole night. I am weak. Joshua makes me weak. I need to go. I need to get away from him.Veronica ~”I must go.”Joshua ~”No please stay.”
I am sitting in my office with my stilettos on my desk stewing in my own shit. I have come to the conclusion if I want to fuck, I fuck perfectly. But I am also able to perfectly fuck things up as well.One of those perfect things is Joshua Hamilton. The only reason this is bugging me is because he is mine and mine alone not some bimbo models. He is mine even though I don’t want him or so I say to myself.
I can’t believe a week ago I pledged my undying love to Joshua Hamilton. This week I am back to being Veronica James. Should I feel bad? I don’t know. Should I feel sad? I also don’t know. I have enough wine to take both away.Veronica ~”Morning Brenda.”Brenda ~”
