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
Christos. Though I hate doing this, it is the least I can do at this moment. I can still feel the fear that came all over my soul and that of my wolf when she made the threat of running away. Doesn’t she understand what she stands for presently? She is the only thing that can save me from my past. The sacrificial lamb to help me forget the mystery lady that is casting shadows over my personal life. “Is this how you treat your employees? Threaten and force them to sleep with you? Is that how difficult it is for you to find a willing woman?” She questioned insultingly and I almost hit a woman for the first time in my life. I felt the strong hold of my wolf on my hands. “Don’t do it. She is just trying to push you into doing your worst, don’t fall for it.” Lightning, my wolf, mind linked me and I froze. Truly, when I glanced to look at the woman, I saw the waiting manner in which she was looking at me, as if waiting for me to prove her right by showing my animal side and I gave my
Becca. Not bothering to go back to sleep, knowing it was almost close to impossible with the way my body was clamouring for fulfillment, I took my MacBook laptop from the bedside drawer and I flipped the mail icon open. With quick fingers, I sent a message to the Admission department of the best private British curriculum school in Canada, asking them if there’s yet to be an opening for my kids. And then because I was feeling so frustrated by it all, I attached a note telling them how desperate I was to make them start school and how I would not hesitate to enroll them in another school should they fail to respond positively. Knowing it was too early to expect a response, I turned down the laptop impatiently, hoping they would respond positively this time around. They had told me the last time I called that I was number two on their waiting list. ‘Let’s see how that arrogant beast will continue creating memories and making friends with my kids when they are no longer available t
Christos.I watched as she twisted her waist and danced seductively on the edge of the bed, telling me with her movement that she wanted and desired me.But every damn time I tried to get up and go to her, there was heaviness in my body, as if I was chained with an invisible bound.Screaming in agony, I shouted at no one, asking for them to release me so I could go to the little siren calling me. Most importantly, I wanted to turn her body around and see her face; to know if they were as bewitching as the rest of her.But just like before, it never happened. Immediately I found the power to break free, I heard a scary shrilling laughter from her lips and before I could place my hand on her seductive shoulders, she was out of reach as she dissolved into seamless smoke with nothing to speak of her presence.And just like always, I woke up to the echo of a mocking laughter, as if the room was a witness to my humiliation.With eyes full of fiery fire, I bellowed loudly and within minutes
