He looks ready for a night out when after that call with Carrie all I want is a night in.
"Not a problem at all. I don't think I want to do any dancing tonight though." I turn on my heel and walk over to him. His eyebrows go up and that smirk I saw this afternoon makes another appearance.
"Oh, really and what is it that you want to do?" His voice is deep and it tickles my ears.
"Something fun." I murmur before I wrap my arms around his neck and lift up as high as I can on my tiptoes. Still its not enough, he's so tall. He leans down and kisses me softly at first until the passion ramps up and his hands start running over my body.
I feel his cock hard and thick against my stomach. There's no doubt in my mind that he's into it.
But I'm not.
Holy fuck, what is this? Percy never did this. He always put his hands on my... no, no , no. You're fucking Linc today not Percy.
If my libido was any more frozen it turn into an ice block and fall straight out of my vagina.
I push him away before he can get any further. There's no way I can go through with this. Just thinking about it makes me want to throw up.
"Hey, what's going on?" He reaches for me again and I take another step back.
I'm in a really messed up spot right now. I'm in his room with no one else and no one I can call to come get me. If Linc is a jerk I might be in a lot of trouble right now.
"Um. I'm so sorry. You're going to think I'm out of my mind. I can't do this. I thought I could and I wanted to but now that I'm doing it I can't. I'm sorry. I didn't meant to get you worked up... well I ddi mean to get you worked up it was the plan but now.."
"Hey." Linc puts a hand up, "Ella, take a breath."
"Sorry." I exhale and start over, "This is going to sound super messed up but I swear I don't run around doing things like this all the time. Not like you could really know that about someone..." I ramble again. I'm so nervous.
Linc just stares at me for a minute but doesn't say a word.
I take another deep breath and start over a third time. "I just got out of a serious relationship, and you were supposed to be my rebound lay."
"Ah, I see. Well can't say that didn't sting a little." He chuckles
"No, please don't think it had anything to do with you. I mean you're hot, polite, great hygiene, you check all of my boxes. I just didn't think having someone who isn't my ex would be this ... difficult." I run my hand through my hair and look up at him. "I guess you want me out of your hair now?"
"Nah, you don't have to run off. I'm perfectly fine just hanging out with you... outside my room." He opens his door and I smile as he holds his hand out for me to go ahead of him.
Once I'm out of the room he puts his arm out for me to take, such a gentleman, "You can tell me all about this man who you seem so set on getting away from."
I walked to Linc's room knowing for sure that a new lay was exactly what I needed to get over Percy but this one experiment lets me know without a shadow of a doubt that Percival Snow isn't the type of man that you get over in a week, or a month or ever. Percy has left a deep scar on my soul, one I don't think will ever heal.

Snow Chronicles:Living up to the Legacy.
The sunday after I lost Ella her article came out inThe Timesof all places. It was one of the highest sold news printings ever. Her article was a six page spread that highlighted every possible positive my family could ever ask for. She never once mentioned Ian but hinted at the fact that I treated my family better than some kings treat there subjects. That I'd run through fire to make sure the people that depended on me are taking care of me. She highlighted how I care about everyone in my company and how I'm not like every other CEO who just leaves the work for others. That I'm as invsted in the company and the community as my father was and my grandfather and the entire Snow family line. If there was any doubt from anyone how Ella felt about me this article cleared it up. It also solidified exactly what I lost being such a fucking idiot.
The nominations hadn't been put in yet but there's even talk about her being up for a Pulitzer. All on the back of her writing one of the best pieces I've ever read. An article about how good a man I am. For the first time in as long as I can remember I don't know how to fix what's broken. There's nothing that I can offer, no way for me to talk to her nothing but patience.
I've hired private investigators, had someone stay in front of her apartment building and I even been in contact with Carrie but nothing I've done is bringing her back to me.
"Percy, are you listening to me?" Greg snaps once and I cut my eyes to him slowly. I don't know what he's been talking about but I'm not a fucking dog that needs to be snapped at.
"Did you just snap your fucking fingers at me?" I snarl at him and his eyes go wide. He points down to the desk at the phone sitting right in front of me, the bright red light letting me know that I'm in the middle of a phone call with someone. I'm so damn distracted that I don't even know who I'm talking to or what the conversation has been about so far.
"Um, Mr. Snow. Is everything okay over there?" A woman's voice squawks through the line and my eyes jerk back up to Greg who quickly pulls out a paper and starts scribbling something.
