Becca.Well, it does not happen that way. The time ticks so slow like a snail, and it does not seem this man is bored of my company yet.As a matter of fact, anyone would be deceived to think he’s enjoying my company. He had not left my side all evening, except only at the barest minimum and that was to have a small talk with the host and some few important others.It was apparent many considered him to be the most influential in the room, yet you would not know it judging by the unaware manner he treated them.Indifferent! That’s the word that comes to mind in describing the man at the moment. He is totally indifferent to the men worshipping him from afar and all the beautiful, well dressed people in the room. Especially the overdressed, simpering ladies who kept doing their level best to catch his attention.Some even threw me a malicious glance once awhile, as if it was because of me the man was ignoring them.Amused, I had tried walking around the room alone, with a telling glance
Christos.Oh heavens, I had not meant to do that. It had been unflattering and annoying seeing the eager way in which she was pushing me towards all those women all evening and I had only wanted to make her stop.Shepherding her towards the food section was with the intention to make her stop. By shoving foods in that pouting mouth that would not stop talking but then, she had stopped so suddenly, I immediately got worried. With the aim to check if she was alright, I turned her to face me and the shock of seeing that mouth opening again to argue with me brought out my primitive nature and I found myself taking her unsuspecting innocent lips roughly with mine and kissing her hard. With pent up anger and pleasure!Of course this has nothing to do with the fact that it was something I had wanted to do all evening or that I had been looking for a perfect excuse to take her into my arms ever since I set my eyes on her in that lovely demure gown that was so reddish and tempting, it’s a wo
Becca.Wiping the tears from the corner of my eyes, I wondered what I would tell the twins and my friend most especially.Stupid! Stupid!! Stupid!!! Despite my fear of the outing, I will not call it a date. It is an official outing as far as I am concerned.So yes, despite my fear, I had found myself enjoying the outing at one point and even found Christos’s company funny enough.It’s ego boosting to have the most powerful good looking man in the room standing at attention beside you all evening. The way he never took his eyes off me for more than a few seconds had been so flattering, I forgot my own reservation towards this outing in the first place.And when that thing, when that unexpected thing happened?‘What thing Becca? Can we be an adult here?’ A voice taunted and I sniffed.Well, the kiss. When the unexpected kiss happened, I had found myself not only responding to it but also participating. How that happened, I did not know, but it did and it was so sweet I never wanted it
Becca.“Hello? Is that Becca?” Christos Fernandez baritone voice asked softly and I could feel the trembling start from my toes already.“Yes, this is Becca Summer. May I know with whom I’m speaking please?” I was not ready to admit I can recognise the man’s voice.“This is Christos Fernandez.” The man answered and I could feel the impatience even through the line.“Oh, Mr. Fernandez. How may I help you sir?” I asked casually, as if the man had not caused me some restlessness yesterday night.I was sure I heard a deep sigh but when he spoke, it was all done with control.“Can you come to my office for a few moments, please?” He requested gently and I must say that was the last thing I was expecting.‘Is he going to give me a sack over last night? Hmm, even Christos Fernandez cannot be that much of a bastard.’ I thought wryly as I gave a slight cough.“I am a bit busy right now, Mr. Fernandez.” Of course when the boss calls you, you have to go running, dropping whatever it is you were
Becca. With his hand buried deeply in my hair, I felt his passion as he rotated my head for the grinding of his lips. Without knowing how, I found his tongue slipping underneath mine to rotate in a love dance. “Hmm.” I found myself murmuring in surrender and that seemed to invoke him more as he raised his hands to press softly on my breasts. That seemed so much even for me, and I had to take a step backward. Within a moment, he released me before raking his fingers through his hair in a restless movement that seemed unusual with such a man. “I actually did not call you here for this.” He said with a side glance at my face and I scoffed openly. “And why do you call me here if not for this, Mr. Fernandez?” I asked with a challenging nose raised in the air. “To apologise, dammit. For yesterday.” The man said in a loud voice and if truly his aim was to apologise, it’s obvious that desire has left him now. “So what is stopping you?” I asked with a pointed look and his response shock
Becca. “I will appreciate it if you will stop. Otherwise I might be forced to hit a woman for the first time just to get you under control. It is obvious you are not yourself.” He threatened sharply and I could feel myself shutting up as if a tap was turned off. “Hmm.” I murmured softly as I took a peek at his red face. The man’s face was like granite, obviously not impressed by my mood. “Care to share what is funny?” He finally asked even as he pushed me towards the sofa. Sinking into it gratefully, I realised it was what I needed at that moment. Maybe the man was not so bad after all. He seemed to know what a girl wanted. “Nothing. I was just amused by the whole thing.” I confessed softly, unable to say exactly what I found amusing. “You think my kiss was funny?” He stared at me and I could feel the anger returning to his voice. “No, no, anything but the kiss.” I confessed softly and he moved closer to me on the sofa. “So if my kiss was not funny. What was it then, Becca?”
Christos Just when I almost gave up on her, I opened my eyes and I saw another glint in her eyes. It actually took me a while before I saw that beneath all that regret and pains, also lay a fulfilled, grateful heart. This gave me a little hope and I looked at her. “I know somewhere in there, you have been hurt and you are weary against men and I understand that Becca. See, you can hate me all you like but please, don’t even pretend you don’t want this, because we both that will be a lie. We both want it, it has been inevitable from the moment we met and you know it.” I had not meant to come out harshly but when I saw the tiny flinch she could not hide, I knew I had been a bit too forceful. I tried for calm by taking a deep breath. “What I am trying to say is, you want me and I desire you also.” I said more quietly and she gave me a quick glance before looking away. “But I don’t want it. I don’t want a man in my life, least of all, my boss.” She replied a little bit coldly and I
Christos. What a sweet, funny soul. “I know who I am, Becca and I know what I want. You, on my bed with nothing, but my hands and mouth on you.” I promised throatily and I felt the waves of anger coming from her even as I also saw the answering passion burning in her deep eyes. “I am your staff member, Mr. Fernandez, and I will not appreciate you propositioning me this way.” She said smoothly, obviously hoping she could fall on the professional ethics. I laughed deeply even as a part of me felt waves of anger at her delaying tactics over what would eventually happen. “Cut the crap, Becca, it is too late to use that line on me. Not after this.” I told her in a furious tone and she refused to meet my eyes. “I will not be your lover or whatever name you gave it. I refuse to sleep with my boss.” She objected strongly as she jumped from the sofa. I stood up more slowly to stand beside her. “You don’t have to worry about that if that’s your fear.” I confirmed slowly and I felt her sho
