Chapter TWENTY-FIVE ~ Unthinkable

The rest of the nightwas pure bliss. Drake had kissed every inch of my body and left goosebumps in his wake. Bringing to life a need inside me I never even knew existed and wanting more. I couldn’t very well up and leave after our incredible sex. I didn’t want to and I sure as hell couldn’t move a muscle. We fell asleep in one another’s arms and I listened to his heartbeat. The steady beat of his heart I could get used to, but knew I shouldn’t grow attached. Mr. Drake Lawson was still, in fact, my boss and I needed to face the cold, hard truth that this might not last. So, we might as well make the most of it and do we ever.

The morning was beautiful with the sun beaming through the limousine’s window and I thought back to his touch. The tender feeling of his hands on my body, but rough for the right moments. His kisses were so sweet, but hungry. His tongue was skilled and trailed over every part of me. Those intense eyes as they stared into my soul and spoke of all the things left unsaid. He filled his thrusts with a lustful need that shattered my world and opened me up to him. His embrace yearned to hold me, and I never wanted him to let go.

We hit a stoplight that halted me from my passionate thoughts. Car horns blared, and I stretched my head out to see what’s going on. Frowning as my eyes narrow, but I couldn’t see. “I wonder what’s going on out there?”

“I don’t know and I don’t care.” Drake breathed as he caught my eyes and came closer towards me. “All I care about is this beautiful woman right here in front of me.”

His hand gripped the back of my neck, and his lips crashed down upon mine. Lapping his tongue hungrily, like he couldn’t get enough. Wanting more as his body presses into me and my back sinks into the leather seat. Swirling his tongue with mine as I moan and he groans. My world spinning out of control with his hands running over my body in a frantic need. Groping my breasts as he kneads my nipples and pinches them. My panties were wet and his cock stood at full attention against my thigh.

“That’s enough, mister...” I breathed as I pulled away and brushed my lips over his. “We should keep it together because we’ve got jobs to do.”

“Well, if you would only agree to take the day off with me then we wouldn’t have to worry about them, now would we?” Drake pointed out as he tucked my hair behind my ear and the limousine pulled up in front of Lawson’s Legal. “Last chance to change your mind?”

“You’ve got a big day ahead of you and we still have business as usual.” I giggled as I fixed my dress and exited the limousine. “Maybe we could continue this after work?”

“Or I could catch you in between.” Drake teased playfully as he squeezed my ass, smacked it like it’s all his and sent me on my way. “I’ll see you later, Gemma.”

My cheeks turned crimson as I beamed his way and headed for the door. Swaying my ass just for his eyes to see and hoping I make him squirm. Feeling like a naughty girl, but it feels so good to be bad. Building the lustful need for later and knowing just what he could do to me. He could make me come repeatedly in all different positions. Making me come undone in his arms and never wanting to leave. My body tingled with need as I waltzed up towards Mindy’s desk to get Drake’s schedule for the day. Gazing down at the lengthy sheet and wishing I’d taken Drake up on his offer.

“Someone’s glowing this morning?” Mindy asked cheerfully as she half smiled my way and leaned against her desk. “What have you been up to?”

“I-I am? I didn’t even realize...” I mumbled as I fumbled with the schedule and dropped it to the ground. “Shit.”

Mindy picked it up, eyed me curiously, and handed it back to me. “Sure you didn’t, but why are your cheeks flaming red?”

I took the paperwork and dabbed my feverish cheeks. “Oh, never mind that, let’s get to work.”

I walked away from Mindy, only to hear her laughter echo down the long hallway. Wondering if I’m making it too obvious for everyone to see my desirable affections. Grabbing Drake's black coffee and placing it where it needs to be, and opening the blinds just how he likes it. Hurrying towards my place before his arrival and feeling like all eyes were on me. My mind was playing tricks on me and my imagination whirls out of control. Smoothing my dress quickly and brushing my fingers through my hair just before the elevator dings. My breath left my body as the world fell away and my eyes landed on him. Leaving me breathless as everything floats like in a dream and steps forward. Hearing myself telling him about his meeting at eight this morning, lunch with an associate and court at two in the afternoon against Brant Bradley. Feeling my heart racing in my chest as he smiles back at me and butterflies form inside my belly. The need to have him consume me and never let me go, filling me once again. I try to push it away and continue with work. Focusing on the next tasks at hand as Drake greets Mindy and we carry on forward. Keeping my head low as I walk into my office to start the day and close the door behind me. Not hearing it click like I normally do, and quickly spin around to see Drake creeping in behind me. Smiling wildly at his secret entrance and feeling his hands pulling me close. Sneaking a scorching passionate kiss full of greed that leaves me breathless and wanting more. Feeling his hands quickly running up my body and tingling. His tongue swirls with mine in swift, rushing movements before he pulls away. Brushing his lips sweetly over mine one last time and blushing. Giggling at the sight of him with a goofy grin and my bright red lipstick smears across his lips. He turns to leave and my hands fall from his shoulders. Leaving me alone as the door clicks behind him and he rushes to his morning meeting. I walk over and sit in front of my desk. I want to get to work, but my mind drifts towards thoughts of what’s coming.

What would happen between us next?

How much longer could we keep this burning affection for each other secret?

I DROPPED THE NEATLYstacked paperwork onto my desk and plopped down into the chair. Narrowing my eyebrows together as I look through the papers and organize them. Trying to get everything ready for tomorrow because who knows what it has in store. Today was busier than expected and I’m glad I came into work instead of taking Drake up on his offer. I would love nothing more than being lost in his arms and feeling his fiery passion. Knowing just how steamy and intoxicating it could be. Feeling happier than I have in a long time and the distraction has been exactly what I need. A way to get away from my once lonely life. To escape the pain of losing the one person I loved most in this world. Feeling, for the first time, moving forward was the best decision I’ve ever made.

“And my job’s done.” I sighed with accomplishment and clenched the organized paperwork against my chest. “It’s getting late, anyway.”

Glancing quickly at the clock and realizing I’ve been working later than I’d like. Drake must have gotten caught up with his case, because I haven’t seen him since this morning. I headed for the office door and reached for the doorknob, when it opened quickly.

“F-fancy meeting you here so late.” Brant Bradley stammered as he stumbled into my office and the door flung closed behind him.

He wobbled from side to side and tried to hold himself up against the wall. His clothes appeared disheveled like he had an awful night and his hair’s a tousled mess. He looked like he’d run his fingers through it multiple times with uncertainty. The air smelled of hard liquor and it’s then I realized he’s intoxicated.

“I’m busy and I have errands to complete before I leave for the night.” I sighed as I shook my head and held up the paperwork. “Please get out of my way, I have somewhere I need to be.”

I tried to pass him, but he blocked my way with his solid body. His eyes glared at me and he puffed his chest as his breath huffed at me. “Why? So, you can go be with him?”

I don’t have time for his games.

I shake my head, ignoring his drunken state, and march forward. His hand clenched my arm roughly and his nails bit into my skin. I pulled my arm back, but it’s no use and his grasp was too tight. “Let go of me!”

“As you wish...” He breathed and let go of my arm.

The force caused me to stumble backwards, and I lost my footing in my high heels. Tumbling to the ground as my ass hit it hard and the papers I was holding were a mess around me. Pain radiates through my body and shock courses through it.

“What the hell is wrong with you, Bradley!” I glared up at him with anger.

His eyes grew dark, and a nasty smirk played across his face. He didn’t speak a word as he violently grabbed my hair with force and pulled me up to my feet. I screamed at him to let me go, but the words fell flat. Brant Bradley had lost it and he’s taking it all out on me.

“No!” I cried out in pain and he threw me like a rag doll onto my desk.

My back hit the desktop computer, and it crashed on the floor. He pinned my arms down above my head as his fingers squeezed me tightly and his piercing grip caused me to cry out. Tears of fear streamed down my face as he wasted no time and grabbed my skirt. Ripping it right open as I squirm with the will to free myself, but it’s no use. His body’s too powerful, and it took over my petite one. He forcefully tore my panties and my eyes went wide with agony.

He’s going to rape me.

“You like it rough, don’t you?” He panted heavily as his hand worked at his zipper and tried to free his dick.

“No, please, please let me go...” I mumbled repeatedly with fright.

Suddenly, his disgusting lips covered mine with rough force and pressed down on me. Forcing the back of my head to hit the desk and pain radiates there. Causing everything to go blurry for a second and coming out of it to fight back.

“You feisty bitch!” He glared as I bit his lower lip, his evil eyes glared at me and he raised his hand.

Smack!

The force of it slammed into my face, and my skin radiated with pain. Feeling hot and I cry out for help. He covers my mouth with his hand to muffle my cries and I could smell cigarette smoke linger there. My stomach turning in knots as my vision goes blurry and I feel sick. His hard length dug into my knee, but I still fought him with all I had left. I couldn’t let him rape me, this sick and cold bastard. I had to fight him till the very end because he couldn’t win.

I wouldn’t let him.

Suddenly, I heard the crashing sound of my office door banging against the wall and everything happened so quickly. My vision was blurry as Brant was pulled off of me and thrown onto the floor. My world spinning as I peer down at the unclear figure beating the shit out of my attacker. Punching him repeatedly until he got off of him, breathing rapidly with his hair messy on top of his head. His chest rising and falling as he glares down at Brant, who crawls his way towards the office door.

“Get the fuck out of here, Bradley, this is your only warning.” Drake glared as his nostrils flared with anger and his powerful presence protected me. “Show your piece of shit face around here again and I’ll kill you next time.”

Blood streamed down Brant’s face with his right eye swollen shut and his nose crooked. He winced with pain as he reached up for the door handle and stood unbalanced on his two feet. Leaving my office to never return as Drake turns towards me and gathers me in his arms. My body shook uncontrollably as my sobs filled the office and he picked me up. Clenching my arms around his neck as he holds me close and I cling to him. Rocking me in his arms and cradling me. Drake had saved me from something unimaginable, and I didn’t know if I’d ever be the same again.
