“I wouldn’t exactly go putting the horse before the barn. There are still a lot of tests to be done, but the preliminary results are favorable. I haven’t seen anything to indicate any problems whatsoever.” Erica was that dark haired sexy thing that had a lot of guys wondering what she wore underneath the lab coat. “I can’t tell him how excited I really am. I don’t want to get ahead of myself and this kind of breakthrough doesn’t come around very often. This could be a cure for cancer. The stem cell research that I have been doing has shown me the building blocks of the DNA of every man, woman and child on this planet. I hope that there are no miscalculations or side effects to worry about. We haven’t quite got to human testing, but maybe it’s time to move to that of something living.”
“Erica, I must admit that I was skeptical when you came to me with this. It seemed almost Frankensteinish and I wasn’t sure if I could sign off on something that would make most people cock an eyebrow at the very least. You promised that you were on the right track and it appears that is the case. We need to be careful about who we speak to about this. The best way to handle this is for the two of us to be on the same page.” In a moment of weakness, Nigel leaned in and got rebuffed for his advances. Her hand met his mouth. She stared at him disbelief that he would do something like this. “I’m sorry, I thought that we were having a moment and I got a little carried away.” Nigel had this need to make Erica succumb to all of his hidden kinky desires. He’d already envisioned her strapped down on one of these tables writhing in agony, as he whipped her mercilessly with a cat of nine tails.
Erica was not stupid and his infatuation had gone beyond that of a stalker. The only reason why she stuck around was because of the money. He was loaded and it didn’t hurt that she had the curvy figure that had made him tripping over his own tongue from the moment that they met to discuss her proposal. She used her sexuality to make men feel powerless to resist her charm. Those working underneath her would wonder what the hell they were getting themselves into. She was a taskmaster and had no problem putting people in their place whether they were her boss or not.
“I understand that you have these feelings for me, but I don’t really feel the same way. I know that’s not what you want to hear, Nigel, but it’s the one thing that I don’t think is ever going to change.” She heard him sigh with resignation and that was at least a good sign that he was willing to back down. “I was an only child going up and my father was quite strict when it came to dating. He would grill any perspective suitors mercilessly over the hot goals, until they were running out the door like their pants were on fire. I didn’t even lose my virginity until I was 20 years old and that was just because I wanted to perform what I considered to be a personal experiment. The guy was a little younger at 17, but he was the one that had me looking out my window and finger fucking myself to him mowing his lawn with no shirt on. I researched the subject matter, but that didn’t prepare me for the onrush of emotional baggage that was unleashed afterwards. I had to teach him to slow down and the 25 times that we were together, it was better each and every time, until he went off to college.”
“I know that what you say is something that you believe, but I know that if I can get you in my bed that things would change. The feeling of me thrusting against you and my cock deeply encased within the hot little hole of yours would seriously have you screaming at the top of your lungs. The one thing that I know is that I’m a consummate lover and I’m always forcing women to see outside the box.” Nigel had always had women dripping off his arms and it was the accent that had them throwing their panties at him before even the desert arrived. He had had many encounters, but the one that had gotten away was Erica.
“I have no doubt that we would have a good time, but I’m looking for more than that. I hope that this doesn’t ruin anything, but I thought that I made this very clear from the moment that I came to work with you. There was not going to be anything physical, but I have to admit that you are persistent. It’s no wonder that there’s not a girl that goes by your path that doesn’t want you. You’re pretty good to look at and if I was only into something fleeting, I would gladly spread my legs for you.” He’s not my type and I’m not looking for some pretty playboy English expatriate to turn my crank. I want something that is going to make me feel like my entire world is changing around me.” Erica turned her back on Nigel hoping that this would be the end of it, having no idea that Nigel was just as determined to take what he wanted by whatever means necessary.
“You do know that we have a lot in common. We both come from being the only child in the family. We were doted on from the moment that we were born. We also have a love of science and it’s that kind of passion that should be translated into the bedroom. Trust me, I’m never going to give up, until I hear the words that I want to hear coming from your lips. If you expect me to give up this crusade up, then you don’t really know me at all.” Nigel had seen brief glimpses of her cleavage and images of him squirting his load up all over her chest came to mind in a hurry. Glazing her like a doughnut from head to toe, while she was tied up for days on end would keep him hard for days. It was something of a fantasy that he could never relinquish. “I don’t know why you just won’t give in.”
“You dress impeccably and you have the manners of a gentleman, but underneath it all you are still a dirty boy. I’m not saying that I’m not tempted, but I am saying I think that I can hold off, until I find that one that is going to make all others pale in comparison. I want more from a relationship than just hot animal sex. Don’t get me wrong, I want that to, but all of that should come hand in hand.” Erica was that blond bombshell with an hourglass figure. She had a 5’8 frame and 160 pound body that had guys literally falling over themselves to be close to her. “I’ve had many suitors, but none quite like Nigel. He obviously fantasizes about me and I just hope that his fantasy life doesn’t get the best of him.”
“I have some business to conduct, but trust me we’re not finished with this by a long shot. I will have you and there’s really nothing that you can do about it. You may think that you have control but once you give up the reins to somebody else, you’ll feel so much better about yourself.” The image of his seed dripping off her face and the look of contempt after the deed was done was what he lived for. He loved to seduce with his words and then surprise them with some of the hidden toys in his closet of sexual delights. The woman would usually leave feeling ashamed and aroused at the same time. “It’s just a matter of time and I will wear you down. That’s a promise that I’m going to live by.”
“I always thought that it was a blessing that you accepted me into this program. I showed you a woman that was not only beautiful, but had the intellect that was far superior over others. I gave you no reason to doubt that my claims couldn’t be proven. I’ve been working on this for years and now that we see the finish line, you decide now that you’re going to do more than just flirt. Why would you try to ruin this good thing between us? I could take my research and go someplace else. I didn’t sign any kind of nondisclosure agreement and I wouldn’t have come to work with you had you even brought it up.” I don’t want him to get the wrong idea and I’m grateful, but I’m not going to show him that with my body on the line. The one thing that my mother did teach me growing up before she died was to respect myself. If I didn’t, then nobody was going to do it for me. My father on the other hand believed that I should find some rich tycoon to settle down with, but that was not how I was made.”
“I’m just trying to make a good thing even better. Why you are resisting is beyond me. Every woman loves pleasure and I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve had several scream to god about my prowess. You might be curious or even tempted, but you have yet to throw caution to the wind and it’s about time that you do.” Resisting him was giving him license to believe that the hunt was still on. Seeing her every day was like dangling a piece of raw meat in front of a slobbering and hungry dog. It was cruel and unusual punishment. Once she did fina
lly succumb, he was going to make her realize just what kind of mistake she made. He had seen her walk to her car several times and that feeling of coming up behind her and kidnapping her for days on end to satisfy his carnal lust was feeding into his fantasies like never before.
Erica didn’t dare turn her back for too long. Every time that she was working, she would get this intense feeling of somebody staring at her. She had her own lab, but that didn’t stop Nigel from coming down to witness her in action. She had known from the moment that she met him that he was more than just her benefactor. He was the type of guy that couldn’t rest until the woman that he wanted was in his bed. She hoped that bringing it up during negotiations would put an end to any such nonsense, but it only seemed to fuel his need. “I hope that he understands. I don’t want to consider putting him in jail tonight and not promising to bail him out after. He’s getting dangerously close to making me feel like he’s a threat. I have to commend him for giving me this DNA sample and the several others that come before it. It has helped me to make this breakthrough and mankind is never going to have to worry about cancer again. The one disease that has taken too much from many people will be eradicated by my hand. I feel like I’m a god, but maybe that’s just my god complex raising its ugly head.”
“I can see it in your eyes and you may say one thing, but your body is certainly saying something else. The quiver of your lip and the way that you stare at my crotch and wonder what I might be packing. All you do is work and I don’t think that I’ve ever seen you enjoy yourself in the five years that we have worked together.” Nigel knew that five years of pursuing this conquest was getting the best of him. She made him feel, so small and most of what she did was over his head.
“You only see what you wanna see and nothing more, Nigel. I’ve learned a lot about how a man’s mind works. It’s all about sex and nothing more. You don’t want anything with substance and the only thing that you’re concerned about is getting off. I’m sorry for being so blunt, but you really do need to know that this is never going to happen.” “I want him to say something to make me believe that he’s listening, but he’s been remarkably silent.” Erica could see the wheels turning in his head and it concerned her that he was going to do something worse than just flirting.
He walked off in a huff, turning one more time to see her naked and bent over at an angle with him plugging her solid from behind. He bit his lip and knew that one day she would be his.
Erica didn’t have to look to know that Nigel was treating her like a piece of meat. It was almost as if they were connected. For some reason she could almost envision what he was thinking. It made you cringe to be treated like that and she wondered how other women in the personal trade of working the street could possibly give their bodies away without having any kind of emotional connection.
She finished around 11:00 PM and walked to her car with her key in her hand as a makeshift weapon of sorts. The last couple of months, she had been feeling like somebody was waiting in the darkness. She heard something and turned to see a giant shadow coming down from the trees. It was quite sudden and the impact of something striking against her neck caused her to drop into an unconscious state.
Chapter 2
Several hours later, she awoke to a sight that was quite daunting and not at all something that she was expecting. The room had this old style that went back to the years of the renaissance era. The four poster bed was adorned with carvings of wild animals with one being more prevalent than the others. The silk sheets wrapped around her were a cocoon of loveliness that had her feeling like she was some sort of princess. “I don’t recognize this place and whatever Nigel is thinking is going to blow up in his face. He can’t just kidnap me and expect me to roll over like some sort of sex slave to be used and abused. I will fight him every step of the way and I will get my pound of flesh one way or the other. He messed with the wrong person and this time he has gone too far.”
Erica tried to get up, but she noticed that she was without clothes. Her body was underneath the sheet and the thread count caressed her skin like nothing ever before. It made her nipples erect and her sweet pussy was slightly juicy from the excitement of the unknown.
“I’m glad to see that you are awake. I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. It’s about time I get what I want.” Lyon Williams had given up everything in his life. Staying out of the public eye was paramount and doing anything else was risky at best. “I know that this comes as a bit of a shock, but I’m afraid that your being here was by no accident. I’ve been watching you for some time and I know that you don’t have any friends or family to speak of. Nobody will miss you for quite some time and besides they’re never going to be able to find you here of all places.”
Erica had the sheets tucked up underneath her chin and didn’t like that look in this man’s eyes. It was possible that this man was working for Nigel. “I don’t know what you’re trying to accomplish, but this is against the law. You go back to Nigel and tell him that I might look past this indiscretion, but only if he allows me to leave right now.” Erica had no idea that Lyon was working on his own agenda and had very little to do with Nigel and his insidious ways of trying to seduce women. “I can’t let him get away with this. He thinks that he can use me like this and then expect me to work with him after. How delusional is Nigel? I can only put up with him for so long. It’s the money that makes me stay. Without it, he’s nothing but a pretty boy playboy that doesn’t know how to back off. I don’t even want to consider putting a black light over any of these sheets and it might cause me considerable concern.”
“Nigel is an insipid fool and I’ve been this close to snapping his neck. You don’t have to put up with that kind of nonsense. I have everything that you need right here underneath this roof. Your own lab is in the basement and I stole all of your research.” Lyon had never been one to mince words. It was time to tell her the truth. “I’m in a bit of a bind and let’s just say that you bring a certain element to my life that has been missing lately. I do desire a relationship with you, but it’s not in the way that you think.” Liam wanted to believe that, but seeing her these few weeks had made his groin ache for something more than just a collaboration of minds. In his natural form of a gorilla that feeling was enhanced even more so. He wanted to have her, but it was her analytical mind that initially attracted him to bringing her aboard. “I have a condition that needs your medical expertise. I don’t want you to consider yourself a prisoner, but essentially you are to remain inside this place for as long as I deem it necessary.”
“I’m not a doctor. I’m a research scientist. I’m afraid that this might be something of a mistaken identity. I don’t know what you expect from me, but going about it this way is only going to make me fight harder to get away.” Erica didn’t dare let the sheets go and it was quite obvious that this man had taken liberties with her clothing. “I don’t want to get you angry, but taking my clothes off was a definite invasion of my privacy.” “I need to tell him that I’m not some kind of prize. I’ve always been a bit of a loner and coming here to the mountains of Montana was not an easy thing for me to do. I was terrified, but Nigel promised me the world and he had delivered it on a platter.
“I’ve never had anybody in my life and I’m tired of waiting for the right one to accept me. I want a normal life and you’re the only one that has been even close to getting an answer. Your work with genetics and stem cell research has not gone unnoticed. I can assure you that I have no ulterior motives about getting you into bed. My main focus is to cure me and then to move on with the rest of my life. You think that you have the cure for cancer and you might have that, but you also have something else. I know that this is going to be hard for you to believe, but I’m not exactly normal.” He didn’t quite know how to say the words, even though he did stand in the mirror for days trying to come up with the right words.
“What you need is a real doctor and why you think that I can help you with my research in
a mystery to me.” Erica was trying to remain calm, but inside she was shaking like a leaf. She didn’t even know this man and yet there was this attraction that had her wanting to touch him. “I’m sure that whatever is happening to you can be dealt with in a hospital where they have the machines and the technology to go that extra mile.” What Erica didn’t know was that the lab downstairs was nothing, but the best. One look at what he had to offer and she would be practically on her knees begging him to stay. “Maybe being kind is the best way to get him to realize his mistake. I find him uniquely fascinating and the long dark hair and brooding deep blue eyes is seriously making me wonder what it would be like to be underneath him.
“I thought about what I was going to tell you when the time came, but I guess there really is only one way to do this. When I said that I wasn’t normal, I meant it in the most profound way possible. It was during my trip to the zoo when I was 18 that I got a little careless and too close to one of the exhibits. The gorilla in the cage bit me and I never did tell anybody. It wasn’t until later on that I started to put the pieces together. I even videotaped myself and maybe the best way for you to learn the truth is to see it for yourself like I did.” Lyon turned on the video and the screen appeared like magic from a cabinet across from the bed. Everything came to life on 52 inches of screen.
Erica had no idea what she was going to see, until the realization had her dropping the sheet and crawling on her hands and knees to get a better look. Even naked, she didn’t feel any shame and her eyes were transfixed on the young man that Lyon was a few years ago. She had to shake her head several times, but the proof was right there. It had to be some kind of trick of the light or camera lens or maybe some special effects like you would see in blockbuster summer movies. “It can’t be and there’s no possible way you could be an animal. I’ve heard of shape shifters, but I’ve never actually believed that they existed.” “As a scientist, I need more than just something that I can see on a screen. It’s quite convincing, but I’m just not sure what I’m seeing. Of course this means that I need to request something that I’m not sure that he’s going to be willing to give me.”
