KATE
"Do you think I danced for you?"
"We both know it was for me."
"Okay, I'll let you think that. I don't want to hurt your ego. But I have to go."
Running away seemed like the only option before I did something foolish.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes."
"Is there really no way to convince you to come with me?"
Leave, Kate, before you change your mind. You know you want to.
"No."
"I don't understand." He looked at me, appearing confused.
"I want." Damn it! Those words shouldn't have escaped my mind. Damn tongue. "Forget it. It's just that I don't usually do this. So it's a shame." Stop! You're starting to embarrass yourself, Collins.
"Are you saying you don't usually sleep with someone you just met?" His expression was pure amusement.
"More or less."
"I like that."
I wanted to wipe that smug smile off his face.
"Like what?"
"Knowing that you don't usually sleep with just any guy you meet. But I'm not just any guy."
"You seem like the type of guy who sleeps with a different woman every night." He blinked a few times.
"No, not every night." He tried to contain a smile. What a jerk. The almost smile vanished when he noticed my expression of disdain.
"I think you should find someone with similar habits to yours. There must be plenty here."
"I don't want anyone but you."
"Really? I think you can live without me." I scoffed. "I need to go." He had already convinced me that he was a jerk, and Lisa must be looking for me.
"So, that's it?" he asked disbelievingly as I walked away, looking a bit annoyed.
"Yes. Goodbye, Nathan."
"Don't be so dramatic."
My subconscious was going to disturb me for the rest of my life. I was sure of it. I tried to list the reasons why not to go, one... My brain failed with an image of him naked. I laughed to myself. Damn it. Why does alcohol do that to people?
I found Lisa at the bar.
"Where were you? Fucking with someone around?" She asked, laughing because she knew it was nearly impossible for me to do something like that, but her expression quickly changed when she noticed my frustrated face.
"Almost," I said in a melancholic tone. Am I really conflicted between the desires of my subconscious mixed with alcohol and my conscience? I think so.
"What do you mean, 'almost'?"
"I met a guy..." Damn it. Who turned me on. "And I liked him." Omitting the excitement part seemed safer.
"And?"
"He wanted me to go home with him."
"And why aren't you fucking him now?"
"Because I just met him?"
"And?"
"You know me. I... I don't know." It would be much easier if I had already had sex with someone. But Lisa didn't know that. I never had the courage to tell her, someone who has always been so sexually open. And I definitely didn't want her to try to help me. In fact, I understand all the theory, and mechanics of the thing. I've done a few things. But that guy... I really didn't want to embarrass myself in front of him.
"Oh, God! Are you seriously thinking it's wrong to be with him just because you just met him?"
I guess I wouldn't mind if he wasn't so intimidating, but that also bothered me, even if just a little. She sighed.
"People do it, Kate. So stop caring about such old-fashioned concepts. You're so smart and determined, but when it comes to your love life or sex life, you seem to run away." Either I'm under the influence of whiskey, or she's right. It's more likely that I'm drunk. "I guess you need to start changing your concepts about sex and fun."
"You mean concepts about having sex with a stranger. Maybe... Just maybe, you are right."
"I am! And if you don't mind, I met someone amazing who's going to take me home. And I don't care that I just met him. In fact, that makes the experience even more exciting." She smiled.
"Stop torturing me."
"You don't mind if I go, do you?"
"Of course not. Are you going to our apartment?"
"Yes."
"That means I shouldn't come back until tomorrow, right?"
"Well, only if you mind the noises."
"Oh, God! Have fun!"
"I will." She turned to leave but turned back to me again. "It's still early. There must be some nice guy out there. Try to have fun!"
"I'll try!" She smiled tenderly and winked before heading towards the exit and disappearing with her companion.
Her idea of fun, sleeping with a stranger, didn't sound so bad. Maybe that's what I need, these kinds of experiences in my life. Maybe I should change, or maybe I'm just drunk. Damn, I don't care about this virginity thing, I don't know why the hell I haven't had sex with anyone yet, but I don't want to seem inexperienced with a guy like that. What is happening to me? I don't usually have this kind of thought. It must be the alcohol.
What am I going to do? I can't go home now. Maybe I should look for Matt and Brad. Terrible idea. They're probably with someone. Damn it! Everyone here has a sex life except me? Yes. Maybe I should call Sarah or another colleague, but I need to go to the bathroom first. That's the annoying part about alcohol.
I left the bathroom and was about to send a message to Sarah when I heard the familiar voice. I followed the sound, turning into the hallway. There he was, on his back. Something inside me stirred when I saw him, my heart raced, and excitement surged through my body just at the thought of what I was about to do. I watched him as he talked to someone on his cell phone, he looked upset. I approached, trying to listen better.
"No. I'm not going to discuss it now. Damn it." Was he angry? "That's none of your business...
I never get kicked, you idiot... Things are always under my control."He hung up and put away his phone. Sighing, he ran his hands through his hair, trying to relieve his irritation.
"Tonight they are not..." he said to himself, then turned toward me, and started to walk. I hid, listening to his footsteps, until he passed me.
"What things aren't under your control tonight?" I gave my best smile, leaning against the wall. He came closer with a dark and hungry expression, so close, his hands reached for my face, and he pressed his body against mine. His mouth took mine eagerly, a little rudely. His tongue left me breathless.
"If you don't come with me, I'm going to fuck you right here," he whispered. Damn, it... I would love to understand how a stranger had just aroused me more than anyone else ever had.
"Yes," I said, still breathless. He blinked, trying to comprehend, looking into my eyes.
"What?"
"I'll go with you." His lips curved into that perfect smile.
"What made you change your mind?"
"You'll have to admit you got lucky, no power and control," I teased.
"You are my luck."
KATEWe left the club through the back, but I didn't ask Nathan why or how he managed to get us out. He opened the car door for me—a sleek black sports model, surely a recent release. Thanks to my father's work, I had good knowledge of cars. I was curious to know more about him, and he noticed my restlessness. Now, with the car's lighting, I could see his face better."Are you okay?" he asked, offering me a shy smile, emphasizing his extremely defined chin."Just curious," I replied."About what?" He fastened his seatbelt, and I did the same."About you.""What do you want to know?""First, are you really about to drive? Then, if it's not too impolite, we can start with your age."He smiled as if I had said something funny."What's so funny?""Nothing. I'm just wondering if you also want me to introduce you to my parents afterward.""Do you want me to get out of the car?" I squinted my eyes at him, containing my laughter."Sorry. I didn't drink much; I wouldn't be taking you to my pla
KATEImpatiently, he lifted me, placing my legs around his hips effortlessly. I gazed into his large blue eyes, gripping his neck as he carried me to the bed. Laying me on the bed, he climbed on top of me, supporting himself with his arms to avoid crushing me due to his size."Are you okay?" I couldn't form a word. I was trying to relax. I'm wondering if I should tell him or just let it happen. Damn it. "Is something wrong?" My expression was surely giving me away."I... " Would he find it strange? Of course, he would. I could just let him go on without telling him. But I had to say it."You don't want to?""I... I'm... It's my... I never..." Saying that felt so pathetic, no matter how I tried to say it."Never?" He frowned. I closed my eyes, squeezing them tightly, wishing to disappear.Ten out of ten for embarrassing yourself, Katherine. My face must have been redder than a tomato. I tried to breathe. When I opened my eyes, he was looking at me with wide eyes."Shit. No?" He shoo
KATEI felt his warm breath down there, reaching my naked skin. Shivers spread throughout my body. Staring at me, he smiled. And that felt like some kind of warning. Oh, shit.His fingers parted me, and then I felt his lips brushing against my clit. A loud moan escaped me, and I tried to involuntarily close my legs, but he held them firmly. His tongue hit me for the first time, slowly. Damn it, there was no sensation in my life that could be compared to that.I tried to control myself, but soon his tongue became insistent. I lost my mind quickly, moaning with pleasure from his hot and wet moves. His mouth was like heaven and hell at the same time. I grabbed the sheet, pulling it with force. His tongue slid over my length, and he sucked my clit at the end of each stroke, making me arch my back. Soon his fingers also joined his tongue, which gave me no respite. I couldn't take it anymore; I just wanted relief from this delicious torture. He was just playing with his finger at my entran
KATEWhen I opened my eyes, he was clinging to my body. I was sweaty from the heat. I wanted to know what time it was, but I had no idea where my phone was. I noticed a clock on his arm; it was almost three in the morning, and I was so thirsty. I thought about getting up to get some water, but it would be a difficult task with him holding onto me.His head was on my chest, his arms around my waist, and his legs tangled with mine. I tried to get up without waking him, and somehow I managed to do it. I spotted his shirt on the floor and put it on. I left in search of water.There was a counter dividing the small kitchen area from the large living room. After drinking water, I returned to the bedroom.I was surprised to see him sitting on the bed, working on a laptop. He seemed focused. So handsome and hot. He was indeed a big man; the sheet only covered his hips, and his hair was disheveled.I bit my lip, imagining what had happened on that bed hours ago. I was lucky. His gaze met mine,
KATEThe taxi stopped in front of my apartment. I just needed my bed. I entered after paying the driver, and it was still raining, and I guessed it wouldn't stop anytime soon. I climbed the stairs to the door and opened it, hoping not to find anyone in the living room. I was lucky.I entered my room, closing the door behind me and leaning against it. I took a deep breath. I just wanted some peace and tranquillity, but it was impossible with him on my mind.I undressed from my dress and shoes and lay down. I wanted to sleep the rest of Saturday. I curled up and covered myself with the sheet. I tried to push all the memories away, squeezing my eyes shut. But his face was vivid in my mind—his mouth, his hands. Damn it. I felt like kissing him, feeling his strong touch. His firm hands on my body.Why the hell did I desire to be with someone I had spent just one night with? Someone I had just met? I wanted to forget him, but at the same time, I wanted to be with him. To sleep with him.Dam
KATEThe next day, Julie called me to arrange a lunch meeting. It took me almost an hour to find a presentable outfit for my lunch with Miss Swan; she seemed very elegant. I settled on a black dress. What a surprise.When I left the room, Lisa was in the living room, sitting on the couch with a guy. I had no idea who he was. He was blond, wore a black leather jacket, and seemed to be in his twenties. They turned their attention to me when they noticed my presence. I cleared my throat and approached."Hello!""Kate, this is Trevor, a friend from New Jersey. Trevor, this is Kate.""Hello, Kate!" He stood up with a smile, not realizing I was scrutinizing him."It's a pleasure, Trevor." I extended my hand, which he shook."The pleasure is all mine." He emphasized the word 'pleasure.' Lisa stared at him, narrowing her eyes, while I greeted him."I'm heading out. I'm just waiting for Miss Swan." I informed. Someone knocked on the door at that moment. "That must be her. Have fun, but not to
KATEMy body froze. I thought I was going to vomit. My blood pressure must have been dropping. He paused for a second when his eyes met mine.My heart must have stopped, and now it was beating so fast that I felt like I might have a heart attack at any second. As if I became oblivious to any sound except the sound of my heart pounding and throbbing in my ears, everything seemed to be in slow motion.Mr. Spencer stood up from the couch, bringing me back to reality and positioning himself next to me. I kept staring at him as if in a trance. I couldn't look away, and neither could he.I had to force myself to snap back to reality. I closed my eyes for a few seconds. I breathed, taking in as much air as possible as if I had stopped breathing seconds ago. I tried to put all the jumbled thoughts in place, but it was impossible. I was freaking out with the questions that kept coming to my mind, one after the other.What is he doing here? The worst part is the absurd thought that he might be
KATEWhat kind of boss hires someone without taking a look at their resume? I think it's the same type of person who doesn't do any research about their future boss. Although I couldn't figure out how it was possible, I felt calmer. Maybe being alone with him made me more comfortable."It's quite clear to me," I said."Not to me," he replied."Haven't you realized yet that I'm your new assistant, Mr. Ryan?""Oh, come on! I'm referring to how this happened.""Well... I passed the test, and now I'm the new assistant to the CEO of Ryan. Didn't you know I would be your new assistant?" I asked sarcastically."Yes, I knew Miss Katherine Collins would start working here today. But I didn't know it was... you.""I see that you don't usually research your future employees.""I saw your resume. Your grades. Everything. I received excellent references from the university and many compliments from Miss Swan. But..." He seemed confused. "Did you know you would meet me here today?""No!""How could
