Not My Kind Of Man

I look at Connor in disbelief, “Connor, somebody better be dead or fucking dying.”

“Sorry, Xavien, but the meeting was about to start.”

Only then do I realize that my hands are very firmly still knotted in Mekayla’s hair and my lips only but inches away from hers.

So with utter frustration, I turn to her, I was so damn close, and now I am the one that is going to do the running. “Mekayla,” I watch as she raises that eyebrow but just the slightest of hint. “Mekayla, I am afraid that I need to go. Are you coming see me after the meeting?”

“Well, that is just something you have to wait and see. Now go do whatever it is that Xavien Caruso does.”

“Mekayla,” and as she cocks that little head, I can only but smile, but god, the inner chuckle is what scares the shit out of me the most.

  • The Billionaire Contract    The Proposition

    In front of me is what has now become every bit of what I desire. She is with absolute pure perfection tormenting me as she is swaying those hips while those elegant legs in deep red stilettos are taking her towards the boardroom. The very boardroom where I am making my way to at present. Normally, these meetings bore me to utter death, but I think today it might bring some pleasure. So as I enter, I scan the room to find that everyone is present, but what else I do notice is that Mekeyla has so conveniently seated herself next to me. Not showing much concern, I take my seat and only turn, “It is good to see you again, Ms. Winters.” “Well, I would love to say the same.” I only but chuckle at her and shift in as close as I can get to her. Now is this tortured bliss or a pure act of a game that we have played for the past few days? I am hinting at both, for that vanilla is attacking my senses, but there is something else this time. It is lily; s

    I need to remind myself why I don’t get involved. I have been demanding more and more of Mekeyla’s time. I am loving the chase, but she has come to a point where she wants to stop playing. As things stand now, she has got all the control, and I need to take that control back. I do not do relationships. If you are lucky, you can find your way in my bedroom for only one night; there are no such things as fucking seconds.
