As soon as realisation kicked in, Leon Laurent made a quick walk towards Andre and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, the small bag in his hand slipping and falling on the floor of the parking lot."You bastard! How dare you touch her with those filthy hands huh?" In the short while Clara had hung out with Leon, she had never seen his eyes so vengeful, murderous. His tone echoed venom, low and bitterly stale.Andre's eyes trailed from the palms gripping hold of his shirt to the face of the younger man who was acting as though he had the fucking right to be mad at him."What the fuck is it to you? Fuck off, my business is with Ms. Lynn."That had Leon tightening his hold on his collar, squeezing so tightly the skin of Andre's neck and chest reddened in a second. He scoffed in response, obviously unpleased with the reply. "Ms. Lynn? She's not just another employee you can fuck, you lowlife bastard!" "Leon, listen to me... I...." Clara started to say, her heartbeat pounding franti
To what extent exactly could Quinn Andre go to assuage his guilt? He called on her office again days later, just as she was preparing to leave for lunch break, one of the few opportunities she got to be with her girlfriends. She had been busier over the past two weeks making up for the classes and assignments she had missed. Her mates were currently in the practical phase and she didn't want to be left behind. She had just stood up when the bell rang, followed by the opening of the door. She hadn't been expecting him, but she wasn't startled by his presence either. He had been making himself more available since that night, having more meetings with her and Gonzalo over issues that could be discussed via e-mail. Not that she had any complaint; she understood the efforts he was making to atone for making her feel like a whore, because that was how she had felt that night. It had always been about meaningless sex alright, but there had been something cheap about the way he had taken
"Thanks a lot, Fiona. You didn't have to give me this after everything I learnt from you." Clara held a designers' bag bearing the logo of Fiona's company, her eyes beaming brightly under the bright streetlights which seemed to place her in the spotlight, her skin glowing attractively. Fiona waved her gesture of appreciation aside with a hand. "Oh trust me, having you as company is a big step compared to this douchebag who never visits me. Besides, this is bribery; you must come see me some other time." Her eyes mirrored that confident determination Andre exuded which didn't take no for an answer. Not that Clara could have said anything other than 'hell yeah!' to Fiona's invitation. She had learnt so much in one day and even practiced making a sketch of a dress which Fiona had criticised afterwards. "You know this window's open; I can hear you." Andre was seated behind the wheel scrolling through messages which had been sent to his email. He had arrived a few minutes back after C
He plundered her lips with his tongue, tasting wine and dessert in those lips which returned his desires with equal feverishness. His fingers slipped into her hair and massaged her scalp, his eyes clouded with intense desire when he broke the kiss for a second, placing his forehead on hers to catch a breath.It was fucking phenomenal, filling him with a desperate desire to devour more of her lips and body irrespective of how close he was to her, how her body was already entangled with his in a tight embrace, her breath mingling with his. Hot and laboured. He let his palms glide down her ass, kneading and squeezing that soft firm flesh, her breath gasping sharply in response. He returned his lips to hers, cradling her face in his big callused fingers, his chest heaving with the force of hunger gnawing at him. His hips ground into hers, pushing her further into the wall where her back rested. His tongue probed into her mouth, plunging hard and sucking every flavour of wine mingled with
It was she who was trapped in the middle of a fucking railway; she could be crushed any second. Having Andre go down on her had to be the craziest decision she had made, apart from starting an affair with him in the first place of course. Oh, since she was in the line of comparing the maddening decisions she had taken, then she had to include begging him to take her raw again that night. It had been too good, so fucking addictive having his flesh in her wet tightness without any barrier; she had accepted him with his name in her lips, her body embracing him in the most sensual dance of the mad and the crazy. It had nothing to do with risks of pregnancy or infection, since those grounds had been covered. It was because it had become different after that raw sex, more addictive, more tempting. It was as though she had crossed a line alone to a location where she wanted him all the day and lost all control over her desires. Perhaps it had been his tongue in her pussy, or the seeds
Her first reaction was embarrassment. Colour tainted her cheeks, her eyes blinking rapidly as her throat went dry. What in the world was she supposed to say to... That? "Ms. Lynn?" Surely he didn't expect an actual reply to that blatant statement he had uttered, there had to be limits to his obnoxiousness, right? Sitting there with her mouth parted softly at his blatancy wasn't going to answer her question. She cleared her throat and shifted in the seat, willing her voice not to stutter. "I was just preoccupied with...other things." She chose denial which came easily, although she knew he wasn't going to buy it. Irrespective of his insensitivity, Andre was nothing short of smart, a quality she found really sexy. He remained calm as he stared at her, giving no indication that he hadn't bought her bullshit. It was difficult maintaining eye contact with those blazing eyes which had gazed at her intensely, its pupils dilated as he reached his climax buried inside her. But she forced h
If Clara had thought Leon Laurent a handful when she was assigned to him, then she had nothing left to say when it came to Sandra Sean, who had somehow misread the description of her duty as housekeeper. Clearly, she had been introduced as a wardrobe assistant, but the good lady had chosen to rewrite the charts, burdening her with duties which were way far from her job description. Well, unless fetching bottles of wine and cigarettes and booking appointments for medical check ups had become part of the wardrobe. What puzzled Clara the most apart from the fact that no business meeting had been fixed since she came was why Ms. Sean would leave her home and begin full medicals as soon as she arrived Manhattan. It was as though she were on vacation and Clara had somehow been assigned the responsibility of her maid. The deja vu she felt each time she received one of Sandra Sean's messages ran so deep it reminded her of the days of working under Karen Seattle. And worse was that Andre ha
Clara hadn't cried herself to sleep like she thought she would, but had spent a good part of the night in the room she had converted to a study seated behind the desk, her laptop open before her, the screen displaying the document she had finally garnered the courage to type.Because if she needed any other cue to save herself after the humiliation she had been put through, then she might as well return to Dane and beg him to take her back.Since she was in the same path of foolishness anyway.It wasn't as though she was finally taking full control of her life; she didn't have a concrete plan at the moment, but what was pretty clear was the fact that she had to cut both professional and personal or rather, sexual ties with Andre because none of them was working out with him anymore.She had spent the night replaying possible scenarios. For instance, where she would live hereon because she would have to vacate the company house and return the car she had been given. It was funny how ev
