Insufferable Proximity

by Z. Stefani

  “Your best bet would be to go beg daddy some more, because we both know that’s the only way you’ll beat me.” she took a small sip of her coffee before she continued, “you spend too much time feeding your libido to win something this important.” her words infuriated Julian and he felt that consuming need to make her bow before him.

  “Does that suit come with a chastity belt attached, or do you have to attach it manually?” he asked.

  “Do you get a free STD exam after every ten visits, or is that only with your antibiotics?”

  “Prude.”

  “Sex fiend.” she raised her chin haughtily then turned around and walked away from him.

  He watched her sashay out of the cafeteria and felt the overwhelming urge to grab Ms. Deville then take her back to his office and show her who the boss really was. She was the only woman who had ever managed to make him feel every one of his emotions as well as new emotions all at once. She alone had introduced him to a new level of rage and he sometimes caught himself fantasizing about dominating her.

  She was hands down the most ferocious woman he had even had the displeasure of meeting. Her audacious ways plagued his mind more than any other living creature ever had. To him, Miss Deville was an enigma, she wasn’t like any woman he had ever met in his life. She was cunning, calculated and as aggressive as any man, she fought fire with gasoline and she fought to the death. She was ferocious, unyielding and there was no way in hell she would back down from this position. He couldn’t get through to her like he was able to get through to other women, she took kindness for weakness and romantic sonnets as harassment.

  Once again he had the pleasure of opposing her, but this wasn’t just any old battle, this one was for the big prize. It was a position that would entice them to fight like they had never fought before and bring them a whole new meaning to the word war.

  The Accidental Peep

  Everyone from the firm had gone home for the night, the entire floor was black except the light shining from the two offices on the opposite sides of the floor. Julian King was finishing up some work when Candy had called his cell and informed him that she was at the restaurant a few blocks down from his work and would love to come spend a little time with him. It had taken less the seven minutes before Candy had opened his office door, and then opened the long, hot-pink, faux fur coat she wore, revealing the scandalous hot pink bikini below. Julian had known Candy for years and she had never failed to impress him when it came to sex. The woman was experimental as well as giving and offered every inch of her body to do with as he pleased. Julian knew he had to cease his disreputable behavior while on the job, but he could not resist the hours of depraved sex she offered. He realized that despite his best efforts, he would not be able to leave this office before fully submerging his erection inside of Candy.

  In the office down the hall, Heaven Deville had been working diligently on her new case for hours. It was the third night this week that she had voluntarily worked late into the evening. After a particularly grueling day, she was ready to get out of her office, go home and give her mind and body the break it so deserved. A hot bath with bubbles as high as the ceiling sounded divine at that particular moment, unfortunately before she could leave for the evening, she had a release form that needed Julian King’s signature. Ayden had personally asked her to make sure Julian had signed it, her boss was going home a little early and since she was staying late again to finish her own work, she agreed. She would do anything for Ayden, he was the father figure she had never had, but she despised having to go near his pompous son.

  Heaven put on her large black jacket then grabbed her briefcase and the release form before locking up her office. She walked the long hallway that would lead her to Julian’s large private office, which was well secluded from the rest of the firm. Heaven did not feel that Julian deserved such a gorgeous office, and believed the only reason Ayden had given it to him, was to hide Julian’s indiscretions. She frowned as she neared his office, it was such a demeaning task to demand he sign the paper then wait around for his signature, like some common errand girl, she was a lawyer, not a babysitter.

  She stood before his office, the corners of her mouth already frowning down at the thought of having to converse with him, she raised her hand to knock when she noticed the thick curtain that usually covered the large glass window, was ajar. She stood there, unable to move, her mouth agape in shock at the scene before her. Heaven had seen the same loud mouthed, fiery haired woman at the firm several times before, but this time she was naked and spread out on Julian’s large mahogany desk. Her long, slim legs were spread at odd angles and her body positioned in a peculiar way as Julian-the disgusting whoremonger-King, screwed her like a wild beast. His fist was filled with bright-red locks of hair as he slammed himself deep inside of the woman, her entire body lifting off the desk with each violent thrust. The red head below him squealed like a porn star, bouncing up and down like a windup toy while declaring her love for Julian.

  Julian, unaware that his nemesis stood stunned outside of his door, was holding back his release like a professional, enjoying the feeling too much to let it end yet. Candy was making it easy on him, his erection softening a little more, with every mention of love she spouted out.

  “Fuck me hard, yeah, harder,” Candy, cried as she contorted her mouth in a strange way and Julian wondered why she always went to extremes to appear sexy, it wasn‘t sexy, it was strange. “Oh god, I love it when you fuck me hard like that, oh god, I love you, baby! I love you so much” she cried out and Julian wished she would just shut the hell up. The girl fucked as if she was in front of a video camera and she spoke as she was reading from a teleprompter. He tried to tune her out, trying to screw her, get off and get it over with, but the girl’s dramatics were starting to turn him off and making him loose interest altogether.

  Heaven stood outside of the window, unable to take her eyes off the scene before her. She knew she should have already turned around and quickly walked away, but the shock and the intensity of the display had stunned her enough to leave her immobile. For a split second, she felt like she had the day of her 9th birthday when she had wandered into the forbidden zone of her mother’s house. Seeing Julian act like this, so raw, primitive and slightly animalistic had her whole body emblazed and tingling. She had to turn away, she could not look a moment longer. Just as she was forcing herself to turn away, Julian King that depraved beast looked up, his eyes going directly to hers. She could feel the intensity of his accusing eyes burning into her before she turned and walked away from his office as fast as she could.

  She sprinted down the hallway and through the large door that led her to the elevator. She barely held her composure as she ran to her car, flashbacks of her ninth birthday were overwhelming her, forcing her to remember the horrific vision she had hidden so deep in her mind. She had forgotten all about that terrible day, until now. She had never hated Julian more than she did at that particular moment, wanting to run back up there and tell him exactly what she thought of his unprofessional conduct and what an embarrassment he was turning out to be to his own father. Instead, she took a deep breath then drove home, trying to not focus on what she had witnessed or even engage the hatred she felt for the man.

  Julian, upon seeing Heaven standing in his window watching him have sex with Candy, had instantly spewed his seed into the condom covering his now flaccid manhood.

  Had he really just ejaculated due to intense hatred?

  He felt strangely exhilarated after what he had just experienced and had an intense desire to chase after Ms. Deville. The fact that just the sight of his enemy had brought an overwhelming feeling of lust, the likes of which he had not experienced since he was an eager teenager, had Julian stunned as well as erotically mystified. Candy, realizing Julian was finished, stood up and wrapped her long thin arms around him.

  “Let’s go back to your place,” she purred in his ear and Julian felt the hair on the back of h
is neck stand up. He turned to look at her with a slight frown, he was unsure of what he wanted, but he knew his need was intense and Candy was definitely not a part of that. He would rather go home and jack off to his unclear feelings then continue to have sex with Candy tonight.

  “No, I have to get up early in the morning.” he said then grabbed his keys and his briefcase.

  “But-”

  “Another night.” he said simply then opened the door and waved for her to go.

  “You promise?” Candy asked with hope in her eyes, not the least bit concerned with the desperation in her voice.

  “I’ll call you.” he said then shut the door.

  Candy walked alone to the elevator, she had grown accustomed to King’s abrupt dismissals, especially since they had become as customary as a cigarette after sex. She did not take it personally, as some of the other women in his life had, she knew that was one of the reasons he always came back to her. He was dismissive with all of the women he had sex with and that was the very reason certain women went to extremes to keep him close. It was the combination of his indifference coupled with the most amazing sex she had ever had, that always brought Candy to such a frenzied state and kept her coming back. Candy knew that King was nowhere near ready to settle down, but she would be there waiting for him the moment that he did, and she was confident that her sexually enhanced skills would help him make the right decision. She smiled to herself as the elevator door opened, despite her abrupt departure, her body was still humming with the aftereffects of an intense orgasm and she knew she would have amazing dreams tonight.

  Heaven relaxed in the lilac scented bath water, the mountain of bubbles that had spilled over the sides of the tub, had now been reduced to a few tiny hills floating on the top. The invitingly warm water she had begun with had cooled significantly while she laid there pondering the nights events. Her mind was far from the visions of her ninth birthday and she was trying not to focus on the flashes of Julian’s bare upper body that were now plaguing her mind. She was desperately trying to focus on her job and when that did not work, she turned the music up hoping the sound would drown out her thoughts. Just as she felt herself begin to relax, the water shifted between her legs and the picture of Julian slamming into that girl invaded her brain once again. With a curse, she stood up, grabbed her towel and quickly dried herself off, since she was unable to relax in the bath, she might as well try to get some rest. She slid between her red, Egyptian-cotton sheets and closed her eyes, forcing herself not to think about what she had witnessed.

  Peeper Penalties

  It was a bright beautiful morning, the sun shone in through the parted black drapes, and illuminated the sheer white curtains below. The suns intense rays ignited the red painted walls and cast a comforting red glow over the room. However, despite the pleasant surroundings, Heaven lay in bed filled with anxieties that popped like bubbles through her veins as she cursed her insistent alarm clock. She should be forcing herself to get up and embrace the day, but instead she laid there distressed, twiddling a loose string on her red pajamas as she watched the minutes pass by.

  With her mind congested with the images she had seen in Julian’s office, she found it impossible to sleep, she had never seen such an animalistic act in her life. Despite the traumatic experience, she actually expected herself to get up and go to work as if nothing had ever happened. She felt a shiver of unease in her belly at just the thought of running into Julian today.

  She was never one to back down from a fight and she was never embarrassed, so she was confused as to why she would rather take a day off from work then face him? She was angry with herself for not turning around and leaving when she saw what he was doing with the redhead. She was also irritated that she stood there like a fool and angry with herself for allowing him to catch her peeping through the window. But she was most furious with herself for allowing those awkward, yet effervescent feelings to take control of her mind and her lower torso. Despite the fact that her mind was refusing to let her move, her body felt unusually exhilarated and she knew exactly why she felt this strange way, but refused to admit it to herself. She would fall to the floor and die rather than acknowledge that her enemy’s tasteless display of sexual deviancy had actually stimulated her.

  Therefore, despite her need to stay home, she got up and quickly got ready for work. She would not let that deviant affect her nor would she allow him to make her hide.

  Heaven walked the office hallway with her head held high and staring straight ahead, not wanting to accidentally lock eyes with Julian. She grabbed her coffee, ignoring the group of secretaries that were trying not to stare at her before walking back to her office.

  “Morning Ms. Deville.” she heard the voice from behind and turned to see Gavin Grant. She knew immediately it was Gavin, his nasally tone was much higher pitched then Julian’s deep husky voice.

  “Good morning Mr. Grant.” she nodded curtly then continued on her way. Gavin was nice and all, but he was a bit of a nuisance to her, constantly asking her work related questions when she had enough of her own to answer. Worrying that he would attempt to ask for her help again, she continued walking towards her office.

  The day had been going better than expected, until lunchtime rolled around. She had been refilling her silver coffee mug when Julian walked into the cafeteria. She kept her head turned away from him as he walked over to stand next to her and fill his own coffee mug. She kept her head turned from him as she continued shoveling spoonful after spoonful of sugar in her cup, and was surprised that he hadn’t even turned towards her direction. She had expected something sarcastic from him, so she was pleasantly surprised to find him all but ignoring her.

  Was he embarrassed?

  It was a relief to her that he obviously didn’t want to acknowledge what she had seen either. Maybe there was some modesty left in the smutty-dog after all. She was almost happy now that she had suffered through it, and she would do it all over again if she knew it would keep his mouth shut. Holding her grin back, she walked out of the cafeteria and made her way back to her office.

  ***

  By the end of the day Heaven was ready to call it a night, refusing to stay too late, she locked up her office then headed to the elevator.

  “It’s been a long day.” Hilda said to Heaven, who nodded before walking inside of the elevator.

  Heaven was standing there waiting for the door to close and listening to Hilda as she continued to complain, when Julian walked in. She held the gasp threatening to escape from her lips, refusing to look towards him, instead keeping her eyes focused on the elevator panel.

  “Well hello Mr. King, you’re not working late tonight?” Hilda asked with a smile.

  “Not tonight.” he answered and Heaven balked at the question and its subliminal reminder. Heaven could hear him moving beside her and she felt her face flush then a light flutter spread throughout her torso.

  What the hell was wrong with her?

  She refused to acknowledge Julian, despite the fact that he refused to take his eyes off her. She could feel those pale grey eyes burning holes into her back as he stood directly behind her. She feared he would hear her heart racing from inside of her chest or notice her trying not to squirm.

  “Well this is me,” Hilda said as the elevator stopped on the third floor, “have a good night.” she winked before stepping out of the elevator.

  The heavy door closed behind Hilda and sealed Heavens fate. It was just the two of them and she felt her heart race wildly with dread, praying he just followed suite and continued ignoring her as well. She even tried to not breathe aloud for fear he would speak, it was silent for a whole 13 seconds before he reached over and pushed the stop button on the elevator.

  “What are you doing?” she looked at him as if he were insane, as if she had not just witnessed him having sex with some smutty chick in his office the night before.

  “Who would have e
ver guessed that the prudish, star attorney at the firm was a peeping tom.” he smiled, knowing it would make her uncomfortable.

  “I was not peeping on you, I was bringing paperwork for you to sign.”

  “So why didn’t you knock on the door instead of looking through the open curtain?” he asked seeing her unease and relishing it. The girl was naturally unshakable, so to see her actually show a form of hesitation was delightful to him.

  “I was going to then I saw that you were-” she hesitated for a moment thinking of an appropriate word “busy, so I decided to wait until the morning.”

  “So why did you continue standing there watching me after you realized I was busy?” He asked standing very close to her and she felt her self-sway slightly to the side.

  “It’s not my fault my colleague is a pervert who leaves his office curtains parted while he dabbles in depravity.” she said then hit the go button, restarting the elevator. He stepped directly behind her, almost trapping her against the elevator button panel then pressed the stop button again. “Please remove yourself from my person Mr. King.”
