I couldn’t help but smile, but then I decided to bring it up. “So, I was thinking about what you said earlier, your proposition, I mean. From what I interpreted, it seems as though you were saying that I could use you for as long as I want, or until I fly away, though I could break it up without feeling unhappy or used?”
“Yes,” he said without missing a beat, and this made me smile even harder. “This is a dangerous proposition to give to women,” I told him. “I’ve never really been worried for you, but now I am.”
He smiled as he listened to me. “I’d never say that to any other woman,” he said, and once again, my heart stopped in my chest. Thankfully, it soon restarted, but I couldn’t help but shake my head as I watched him continue to eat, as though he had just destabilized me, which was so typical of him.
I resumed eating; however, just then, my phone began to ring. There was nothing to be nervous about, but since I was with him and it was technically Sophie’s phone, I was always a bit nervous. I considered answering it in a different location, but that would make a big deal out of nothing, so I calmly grabbed my purse and retrieved it.
I suspected who the caller was. It was late at night, and I had basically ignored him the previous day, so this was to be expected. I delayed for as long as possible, rummaging through my bag before reaching it. By the time my hand closed around the device, the call had disconnected.
Relieved, and after confirming that my guess was right, I turned the phone off and put it away. This was the second time I was doing this, and it truly worried me that this would affect Lucien's business. After a few more minutes of contemplation, I turned the phone back on once more. I was leaving tonight, so I could handle him. There was no fear.
None of this, however, and fortunately, escaped Lucien’s attention. “Are you leaving because Walters is harassing you?” he asked out of the blue, and again, I was startled by his observance and question.
As I stared at him, my brain was toasted for a few seconds, unable to put together a coherent answer, and it all served to make him even more suspicious. Eventually, I was able to get my mind working again, so I replied. “Oh, not at all,” I said, however, he didn't respond.
He went silent, and I felt haunted by this fact, especially given that he had asked me about it earlier, and I had also liedto him about it. So, it was evidence that he was very suspicious or... my eyes widened. Could it be that Gregory had already expressed his interest to Lucien?
I turned to look at him, and he met my gaze. I wavered whether to bring it up, but I knew they had a meeting scheduled together for a visit to Atlantic City soon, and it would be while I was away, so I didn’t want any lingering and unnecessary attention to be given to this.
“Did he, uh… did he say anything to you?” I asked.
I didn't expect him to respond to this exactly, but I was hoping that by his reaction, I would be able to gauge what had transpired. He was quiet for a little bit, and then eventually, he glanced at me and shook his head.
Lucien
There was no reason to lie to her. But there was also no reason to tell her what I knew of his intentions, even though there were no explicit statements. And so I remained quiet. However, she kept talking about it, which confirmed to me even further that it weighed heavily on her mind.
“Little inconveniences like these crop up sometimes,” she said, and I was almost amused at this.
“So you’ve said,” I replied, and she nodded.
“A little flirting won’t do anyone any harm, and it's not enough to make enemies with him and lose the contract in any way.”
She watched me as she mentioned this, and I knew then that she was suspicious of my intentions to intervene. It was a fact that I had decided to draw back at first since no swords had been drawn yet, but I was more than ready at any time. And so I assured her as I rose to my feet.
“Alright,” I replied and took my as well as hers to the sink. After washing my hands, I leaned against it and contemplated because I wanted her with every fiber of my being, but I was just so exhausted from a very long day. I didn’t want her to leave either way and so as I turned around, I offered a simpler proposition.
“Are you heading home now?” I asked, and she took her time sipping her wine as she watched me, her eyes roving down my body. It caused excitement to course through me, but I did my best to keep my expression neutral.
“How about I spend the night?” she said, her gaze lowering. “Is that okay? Plus, it's quite late.”
This was where this had been heading, and we both knew it, so I nodded. “I’ll be upstairs taking a shower,” I said, and she nodded.
I was exhausted, but as I walked into my shower and felt the warm cascade hit me, I realized that I had just the amount of energy needed to savor her before I went to bed. Plus, it would make for a more restful sleep. However, I didn’t want to force her, so I remained in the stall and washed up.
A little while later, I heard the opening creak of the bathroom door and couldn’t help my smile. I hadn’t expected her to show up.
Yet here she was and I was so excited by the prospect that I instantly became hard. I waited patiently but when almost a minute passed and she hadn’t joined me I turned to see her hooking her fingers into the thong she had on. She was watching me and as I took in her gorgeous body through the steam frosted on the glass, I couldn’t look away,
She was so fucking gorgeous and as I watched her I found myself pushing the door open.
This seemed to encourage her because earlier on she had most definitely been hesitating. Now though and even thoughshe looked at me more softly than she ever had, she seemed a little sad.
It was probably because she would be leaving the next morning for her little break I imagined and it made me sigh.
I was more than eager to have her but if she accepted our agreement then I didn’t see why her not being in the office had to interrupt our relations.
Soon she was in my arms and as I shut the door behind her and glued her warm soft skin to my body I almost sighed at the unbelievable pleasure of holding her so intimately.
