Her hand stroked my arm and smiled slightly.
«What's happening to me?» Her voice was different, she was very drunk, or perhaps she was worthy of her companion?
«My boss is here and I've just combined a big mess,» I said agitated.
She approached hitting, reducing the distance between us: «Where is he? I want to see him.»
Without thinking of it, I pointed Erik sitting at the table while talking with other men.
«That is your boss?» She shouted laughing.
«Is your boss the most sexy and most desirable?»
And my life collapsed in an instant. Why did I not know anything about him? Ah, why I live out of the world, but what did I do?
She began to laugh, folding in two.
What's so funny? I just dug the pit and she laughed, swear, when she sober, she will pay me.
«I'd like to be in your place, see him every day, but I'm warning you my friend, they say he's a real bitch.»
Ok, this was the icing on the cake.
After telling me that, my rage took over, I just grabbed Clair’s hand dragging her out of night club.
We get in the car, I started driving at full speed , I wanted to have the job of my dreams, and now that I got it, it seems like a nightmare, my nightmare has a name: Erik Truston.
All his toys and his hard air ... Does he’s this way with all women?
And then, those words: «I always get what I want.»
Can you forgive Mr. Truston, doesn’t work on me, and if took me only to take me to bed? And would he like to update his achievements list?
But, I will not allow him to approach me, I’ll cold and impassible about his pretty face and even though he was used to have all women he wants, it wouldn’t work with me! I didn’t need to one-night stand, not now,
not ever.
After that Clair told me, I’ll try to put some distance, I mustn’t fall into his trap; I don’t believe to be his
type. Oh my God, Monday I predict a busy day, what a mess!
Chapter 4
Monday, came earlier than expected, I got up in the best possible way but my hand is in total confusion. I went on line to do research for him, as well as being good with his work, other news are not must soothing!
There are photo with models from all over the world, according to a magazine, he collects over 300 women a year. Something about that seemed so crazy!
When I walked into the office, all I can think about him, I can’t deny, that he was a beautiful man,
his voice was too sexy, not to mention his deep eyes. I’m surprised at myself but I never thought about a
so intensively man. Just to me , a boss like that?
I just wanted to a dreamlike Job, all these paranoia will not take me anywhere.
I took a deep breath and I entered in the Truston building. "What do you want it to be, you're not going to war!” I'm telling myself.
The presence of my very own conscience, lately makes me very nervous.
I know, I'm crazy, they should shut me somewhere and throw the keys away. Waiting for me at reception,
there was last time woman. With a smile on my face I said good morning, I want to be funny ,even if I was
just with the people who know me well.
«Good morning my dear, I’m Sharon». She seemed nice!
«Come on, I walk you in your office». I hold out my hand, following her quietly and looking round.
Everybody, was dressed on best behavior, I had gone for a little white dress. If I had to make my entrance,
I’ll do it in great style.
To my surprise we took the elevator at the 46th floor. When the doors were opened, I was surprised. There were two pictures on the wall. The one represented the down, the other one the sunset; certainly, they were be painted by a famous artist. I, already know that Mr Truston wanted only the best. The floor was of dark and polish marble, the walls white. In the waiting room there was a big white leather couch, a few sculpture here and there and the great glazing where I’ll never file because I was scared of heights.
Sharon showed me quickly the meeting room, the other involved offices, and finally the Erik’ s one.
«Your office is there», she said indicating the next door. When I went inside, I was totally arrested how nice and at the same time simple it was. I was excited. It was the first time that I had my own office, but something was wrong because there was only one glass that divides my office from Erik’s one. Privacy was an optional around here. Of course, he was like a real ass, so he kept all the bases covered, he could control if his assistants worked without wasting time.
Sharon taught me about the work I had to do, especially gave me some tips about Erik and his preference.
Just she went away, I couldn’t resist to sit down in black leather revolving chair and twirling like it was a ride. But, suddenly a voice: It was Erik that with an enjoined tone said:
«Do you like this office?».
Oh no! It's him. I stopped breathing, rather than living. Congratulations, I did the figure of the little girl, I'm an idiot.
I was embarrassed by arranging me more compact, leaning against the door, he was looking amused, he was even better than I remembered, and I just made a glitter.
«Yes, It’s so pretty», I answered as a big charming smile. Suddenly, my eyes lose in its and sure he realized that I’ve charmed. Then, he came back composed and serious and said me:
«I need you check me this contract and bring me it 30 minutes!».
I took the sheets by his hands just nodding, and I’ll get right on it. I wanted to prove to him that didn’t make a mistake to hire me. In the contract, he seemed that there was no mistakes, but studying law, I found out that there was only one and just in less than twenty minutes, satisfied with me, I handed my work.
I told him the contract was perfect, except for one thing. Taken by the enthusiasm, I forgot to knock on the door, hoping he did not say anything.
Suddenly, an ironic smile on his face, that man was really weird!
He said: «That’s impossible because the contract was written by myself». And now, who will explain to mister perfection that he made a mistake? So, I took a deep breath, taking the contract out of his hands with caution.
His eyes looked upon incredulous when I told that, in the clause, he didn’t included the request of all the certification about machinery of the factory that he was going to acquire.
So, we looked at each other for a short while and he said :
«That’s perfect».
I tried to squeeze but at some point he asked me if I wanted prepare two coffee for us if I wasn’t tired and I shouldn’t have walked out anything to not be in his company.
I nodded, leaving his office very nervous. After a while, I returned with two hot coffees, just trying to cover any expression and emotion. I hoped he sang his tongue and he couldn’t speak anymore.
He ordered me to sit down asking me why I had refused to have a drink with him.
I answered because I wasn’t feeling well.
He didn’t believe me and I said that I didn’t want to be alone in his company, although, actually I would have wished do it.
He smiled and said:
«I’m so bad to deprive me of a drink with you?»
I tried to answer him telling the truth : that he was a beautiful man but I would never spend my time with a guy like him that change the women like his pants.
The damage was done, I can die peacefully, now. His jaw tensed, his eyes were staring at me, and I decided to do the same. What else could I do?
«Sour grapes, as the fox said when he couldn’t reach them», he said.
«No, he doesn’t get away with it. This man needs a right earful, the world doesn’t turn around! »
«Listen carefully,» I said furiously.
«You are my boss. I’m putting on my work, for the rest, don’t waste my time.»
He looked up at me stunned and said:
�
�You will be mine».
What coming out of my ears? You’re a real ladies’ man. Do you think I really believe that shit?
«Mr Truston, I have already explained to you , one can’t have everything in life.» With these words ,I went out mad from his office!.
Maybe I should just quit this job, if only he’d been less attractive, it would have been much easier.
I need to talk to Clair telling her what’s happened. Maybe, she couldn’t tell me, how to behave in his presence.
Chapter 5
After telling Clair about Erik, she said me a whole lot and instead of comfort me she made worry even more. Actually, she told me that after have met him at night club, I shouldn’t have gone working for him.
In my view, my friend is flipping out, so I chose to ignore her looking into dressing room and see what to put this evening.
Since Clair has reorganized my closet, my outfit has totally changed, and as she always tells me, to dress sexy, makes me feel more confidence.
Finally we went out, and Clair decided to come back in the same club to meet the guy from last night, she says he’s a good kisser, but my guess she really like him. I hope with all my heart to meet Erik.
Never mind, just I walked in, I saw him sitting at the table as last time. Surely, he has a reserved place.
I know I sound a bit bad towards him, but his presence brings out the worst in me.
As usual, Clair, immediately, disappeared with that guy, and I didn’t stay to get a drink at the bar.
At some point a voice whispered to me:
«You are lesbian, right?». These words made me going my drink sideways, I’d recognize that voice in a thousand.
I said no, of course, but he doesn’t hesitated to get me for an arm and drag me on the floor, dancing.
«Came with me», he said and drawn to the song that was began, I think it was -I can fly, without thinking about it, I held my hands around his neck, and I started moving slowly. His hands grabbed my hips holding me of him.
We are too close now and I can’t be indifferent, I’m made of meat too.
He smells good and my head’s just all foggy. His lips are much too close to mine, he’ damn good.
How am I going to resist him? I feel his breath on my face, my body doesn’t answer to me anymore. We are too close, I’m sure a kiss among us will be unavoidable. I got myself in trouble, Erik doesn’t make me indifferent, I want he kisses me. It will be his” handsome but damned" charm, but my body seems much more interested in his, even more than I imagined.
Even though I am aware that he is a man-whore, I just decided that I want transgress.
Erik represents something forbidden and I couldn’t resist. I’ve never happened something like that, It’ s the first time I would like kissing someone and of all people, just my boss I needed to?
While my lips for a few moment were in front his, I began to think Clair’s words , returning straight back and leaving him spooked, to do something he can’t forget. My hand caressing his face slightly and I said:
«I’m sorry, but you’ll never have me».
At these words , he raised his eyebrows, he seemed irritated or angry and answered:
«You’re playing with fire, baby». So, I fled him on the dance floor and I never looked back .
Even though, I wanted to assist to his disappointment. I walked up to the bathroom in the air enjoyed.
Yes, I’m rejecting the bachelor number one of New York city. I Have to compliment by myself, and while I laugh looking In the mirror, I heard vibrate my cell. That’s strange. Who could calling me at two in the morning? Oh, my God. It’s a Erik’s message.
My hands trembled at the thought of reading what there was written, so, I read:
"You will never run away forever."
And I said,
"I don’t need to run away, you just can’t!".
All that was ridiculous, we are in the same place and instead of talking, we make it by message. Here, he’s again with a new message:
"I always get what I want, baby."
He is really full of himself!.
Why ,all strange people to me?
"Get a reason and leave me alone."
I answered. I put my cell phone in my purse and went to look for Clair. As I wandered to the room, an hand grabbed my wrist; I was convinced it was Erik, I turned and saw a guy with amber eyes.
I tried to free myself from his presence but he didn’t not allow me, becoming more and more insistent. So, I started screaming, but he was too drunk to figure it out. His insistence, made only bad memories come to me.
When I was 16, during a party, a boy tried to kiss me with strength, I was terrified, but luckily Clair came to my rescue, otherwise I don’t know how it would end. I had the nightmares for many months, but fortunately after several sessions by the psychologist, I got back soon. Now, for the first time after my parents death, fear is coming back. While trying to put my hands on him, I'm afraid, but he is too strong and I can ‘t dismiss him. And while I'm in desperation, I saw the shadow of a body sway on that bastard. No matter what it is, I will be grateful for eternity.
«If you touch her I still kill you!»
I recognize that voice, Erik came to save me.
I started to cry, I couldn’t control myself. I would never say he had a good side, maybe I was wrong. It seems very worried for me, I never wanted to see me so weak, I don’t want anyone's piety, but it's late.
«Hey, quiet, all right?» He said.
How kind of kindness does not seem the same person I knew in her office.
And stammering, I told him I had to leave.
He decided to accompany me, I can’t contradict him, and I nodded slightly.
I wanted to refuse it but I did not give it to me, because if it was not for him, I don’t know how it would be over, tonight.
Tonight Erik Truston, turned from "dark knight to savior.".
His arm wrapped my hips naturally, this gesture made me feel very protected and did not leave me indifferent.
Out of the club, Erik accompanied me to his car, saying that he did not feel like I was going back home alone and that he would have told Clair from Logan.
I did not go to ask questions, but I wanted to know what Clair was doing. And then, who was this Logan?
During the ride in the car we stayed silent, and this made me feel even more uncomfortable.
At this point I thanked him for everything he had done for me, turning my gaze to him.
Maybe it's just my impression, but her eyes crossed over with mine, it seems we don’t need to talk, our looks said everything.
Without realizing it, we've already come to my house.
I wonder how he knows where I live, but then I think that's for the curriculum. Sometimes I'm really paranoid.
When I came home, I decided to do something that I would never have had the courage to do at other times. I turned around and, without notice, licked my lips to his. So, we drew a passionate kiss that I had never received before .
After a few seconds that seemed like an eternity, I decided to relinquish to him. I'm not interested in thinking about what will happen and the consequences, but at this moment that was what I wanted, even though tomorrow I will regret it. I thanked him and he replied that he didn’t want me alone in the meantime that Clair retired.
All this concern it’s marveled, he didn’t look at all, the man had known this week.
Timidly, I told him I lived alone and he was a little astonished.
Now, it seems to have come back to me always telling me if I was sure that I really wanted to be alone and I told him, I would have liked his company, but if he hadn’t been my boss.
He was amused by my words, and he smiled like a fool.
«My fame preceded me» he said, «but I don’t remember ever having to force anyone to do anything against their own will».
«I had to decide quickly. What was I supposed to do? »
I know well what I wanted, so
I decided to change my mind and I proposed to stay but not in the way he meant it.
He nodded laughing.
«What do you enjoy, Mr Truston? »I said.
«You can’t imagine how much, Miss Ston», he whispered approaching my ear.
A shiver, walked all over my body Come on! He knows what to do, damn it, with his provocations. Now, I'm really blew that.
Came in the house, I made a quick turn and asked him to wait in the living room while I go and change.
At this time I would like to kill Clair. His changing of wardrobe also includes pajamas, which were replaced with very sexy satin.
Luckily, I hid a box with normal clothes, so that he didn’t make strange ideas.
I can only find shorts and canisters, but much better than sexy outfits. I changed quickly and tied my hair with a tail.
I was very nervous, just thinking that a handsome man like him was sitting in my living room.
Meanwhile, he had been comfortable, removed his jacket and tie, and his shirt was a little open.
I watched him for a moment. He has perfect Pecs. Actually, he's totally perfect!
As soon as he saw me, exclaimed,
«Looks like another.».
I replied, «Even without that worn dress you will look like another one.».
And he said, «If you want me bare.».
He is a provocateur!
Embarrassed, I asked if he wanted to watch a movie.
He immediately assumed that my favorite gender was romantic, but it was wrong because he liked action and adventure genres.
My answer, he was a bit disoriented, but he said nothing.
He approached the DVD choosing one, and said, «Do you like Iron Man?».
I nodded comfortably on the couch, leaving about one meter of space between us.
As the movie started, his arm wrapped my shoulders.
He asked me to relax, I put my head on his chest, and I could hear the beat of his heart.
Having a physical contact with him was great, but he is something forbidden, and although I really want him, I'm sure I'm disappointed if I let me go.
