“Well don’t be stupid and if you can look for other agencies who are more willing to put you to work. Not saying this company is bad, it’s an amazing company, but it may not be the company for you.”
“No, this is the sole company for me. I don’t care about other companies.”
“How faithful of you. Hope that devotion isn’t wasted.” He scoffs with a smile.
“You know for an individual working for one of the best fashion companies you seem…dejected. I mean this is an amazing opportunity. Isn’t it?”
“Working for the company is fine, but it’s not the same without Ms. Young. She was like a mom to us. Ru’s cool and all, but there’s no replacing her.”
She was such an inspiration. Even to the people who worked under her.
Skylar was not as difficult as everyone made him out to be which was promising. I stayed with him in his suite and had him in bed at a reasonable hour to get up early.
I leave Skylar’s suite and head to Ru’s suite. I haven’t even seen it yet. The elevator takes me to the top floor. When the door opens, I walk out to see a beautiful hotel suite. The ceiling was incredibly high. I walk over the glass windows that looks over New York. The view was beyond extraordinary.
“Done already?” Ru says from behind me.
He’s in a navy-blue suit with a black tie. Ru always knows how to clean up sufficiently. “Yeah, he’s asleep and ready to go for tomorrow, we might have to go out to dinner another time. I don’t want to leave the hotel.” I say with a yawn.
Ru walks up to me and takes the scrunchy out of my hair, letting my curls fall to my shoulder. He motions me to sit on the bed. I feel the soft threading of this magnificent bed. Ru then takes off my heels. It’s a simple act, but it meant so much more. The soft touch of his hands, the way his thumb caressed my ankle as he took my heel apart and slid it off.
As much as I try to regulate my breathing in this instance, I failed. A shuttered exhale escapes me, and he can tell I’m flustered. “Thank you.” I spit out. Something so small, so inconsequential as him taking off my heels gave me such a reaction.
Even with the embarrassment, I don’t look away from his alluring gaze. “Taurus?” He says breaking me out of my trance.
“Yes?” I answer.
“Did you want to order something?”
I nod and we end up ordering burgers and fries from a local burger place, but it won’t be here for another thirty minutes. A girl could do a lot in thirty minutes, but this is a business trip. I am an employee right now. Who is sharing a suite with her boss, who lovingly takes off her heels for her?
Ru starts to strip off his suit jacket and sighs, “I’m going to take a quick shower. I’ll be out soon.”
The water in that shower is so fortunate to be able to touch every inch of his smooth, toned body.
A knock comes on the door, and I wiggle with bliss believing that it’s our food, but when I open there is a man in a suit holding a briefcase.
The man smiles awkwardly, “Oh, hello. You must be Ms. Maxwell. I am Mr. Wén’s lawyer, Zola Turner. Is Mr. Wén here? It's incredibly important and time-sensitive.”
I nod, “Give me a sec.” I close the door and run to the bathroom door and knock. “Ru!” I call out, but I don’t get a response. I call out once again and open the door but only enough, so I can call out for him again.
“Taurus, come in.” He shouts back.
My eyes gaze around the stunning bathroom. The tub is enormous, you could fit ample people in there. The wall was covered in the poetry of some of the best poets in history.
I hear water splashing on the floor of the shower. Ru turns off the water and opens the shower door. He stands there naked and drops water down his body. “Can you pass me a towel, please?” Ru asks, pointing to the towel behind me.
The urge to stop myself from pouncing on him weighs on my soul. I clear my throat, “Mr. Turner, your lawyer, is at the door and says it’s time-sensitive.” I grab the towel and pass it to him, but he pulls me close to his body. “Ru! I’m going to get wet.” I laugh pushing against him, but his grip only tightens.
His arms wrap around me. “That’s the point. I want to see you soaking wet.” Ru's sly smile flashes and his hair drips onto my clothing.
“Mr. Turner is waiting for you.” I remind him.
“He can wait.” He states, imposing his head on my neck.
I giggle from his tickling nose, “Time-sensitive remember?”
“Fine, I’ll be good.” Ru leans in and leaves a chase kiss on my neck.
