Chapter Thirty-one
Katrina walked into the office feeling exhausted even though the day just started, she wished to be anywhere but here, these past three weeks had been harder than she had anticipated, every day and every hour in Lucas presence was torture, she was at her limit, but she seemed to be the only one going through hell because he looked just fine and talked with her like nothing happened between them, it took everything in her not to scream at him, she made sure to avoid him as much as she could but that wasn’t much successful because she had to be everywhere with him, she hated the fact that she was suffering in silence, she had considered quitting but had decided not to because she couldn’t bring herself to tell him the truth when he asks for her reason for quitting.
She entered her office and prayed he was out, seemed like the universe was on her side because he wasn’t in his office, she sat down with her coffee in hand, took a sip of it.
“Just another day to get through Katy, you can do this,”
She whispered to herself as she set to get the day’s work done.
By the time she looked up from what she had been typing, it was already lunchtime but the reason for her sleepless nights was nowhere to be seen, not like she was complaining, she rather have him away and her mind at peace than have him around with her heart in torment, she saved her progress and picked up her pulse as she headed out to go get lunch, food is what she needed to exist, one of the things that have kept her going.
By the time she came back from lunch, he was in his office and talking on the phone, she waved in greeting and went back to her mini office to continue her work.
“Four more hours,”
She muttered to herself as she sat then, in four hours she would be able to go back to the safety of her home, now that Jordan have gone back to his own house she had the whole house to herself and she could let go and let it all out and she has been doing a lot of that lately, she cried, scolded herself and also consoled herself.
Her life seemed to be back to it normal, well partially because right now, the empty room in her house was pretty much covered with gifts from her unknown admirer, even though there had been no calls or texts from whoever it was for a while now, but the gifts just keep coming in, Jordan had talked her into giving him some of the items, each time she opens her door and finds a new present she looks for a clue of whom it may be from but nothing, and she hadn’t discussed with Lucas again so she hadn’t told him about the present, they haven’t even said much to each other, it was just work between them, she hated that she was the only one missing what they had, hated him for not even showing any sign of missing her touch.
“Okay Katrina, get it off your head,”
She scolded herself, getting back to work, the ringing of the office line cut off her concentration, she picked it up and Lucas voiced answered.
“Come into my office right now,”
He said and she hurriedly stood up and entered his office without knocking.
“Yes? You called me,”
She said wondering why he called her in, his voice had been so in haste that she had been scared something happened while she went to eat lunch, he stood up from his chair, walked by her to the door, she turned to follow him but was met with his chest, she made to turn away and apologize but he held her and pulled her to him, she didn’t expect it and before she knew his lips were on her, the kiss didn’t start slow, he lifted her and placed her on his office table, she couldn’t believe what was happening, this was the last thing she expected.
“You bewitched me, Katrina, I can’t stop wanting you no matter how I try, three weeks, for three weeks I have tried to get you off my head but it not working, I want you,”
He said between kisses, removing her tops, exposing her bra, it was going so fast she couldn’t even think.
“I miss this so much,”
He whispered freeing her breast, she let out a moan when he covered her nipple with his lips and sucked on it, she wanted him too and had tried her best to keep away all thoughts out of her head but it was freaking hard.
He pulled up her skirt and positioned himself between her legs as his mouth captured hers again, she kissed him back with all the pent-up emotions and want she has been hiding for over three weeks.
“I am gonna take you here, you do things to me, Katrina, I can’t get you off my head.
“Noo,”
Katrina said shocking both of them.
“You don’t want this?”
He asked looking at her with hunger-dazed eyes, wow she didn’t know she affected him that much, she felt some kind of power knowing that she could do this to him.
“That’s not what I mean, someone can walk in on us,”
She said shyly, he took her lips for a brief moment.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“The door is locked and no one is gonna walk in on us, I want you so damn much it hurts,”
He said nodging his hardness against her thigh, she let out a whimper, and surrounded him, he took her against his office table…
“Once again I forgot to use protection, I am sorry,”
He said as they lay on the couch in his office a little while later.
“I will take an after pill,”
She said getting up and picking up her top and bra she walked into the restroom to dress up and clean up herself, she looked at her reflection in the mirror, she didn’t know what to make of this, sure he wanted her but what does this make them, would she finally get what she has always wanted or is it yet another fling? She knew she should not get her hopes up, but it didn’t stop her from feeling a little leap of joy.
When she came out of the restroom, he was all dressed and it didn’t look like anything had happened there just a couple of minutes ago, she looked at him expectantly.
“We should talk about this Kat,”
“Yes, we should,”
She responded.
“See the things is I want you but you know me, Kat, I don’t do commitment, I can’t promise you forever because I can’t give that to you and I don’t wanna lie to you or make promises I can’t keep but that isn’t stopping me from wanting you, I tried so much to keep it in but right now, you are the only woman that turns me on, and I am sorry if that’s all I can give you, I will understand if you don’t want this, God I sound stupid,”
He said passing his fingers through his hair.
Just as she had thought, he wanted a fling, Katrina knew she was setting herself up for more pain but she didn’t care, when that time comes she would get through it.
“Girl you are not gonna do this,”
The voice in her head whispered.
“Yup I am,”
She replied firmly shutting out the voice, she smiled at Lucas.
“I am up for whatever is on the table,”
She said to him.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes,”
“And you are not gonna quit if things stop being like this?”
“I will not,”
She replied, she knew she was lying, she already considered quitting before, and going into this might seal that but the deed was already done, even if she doesn’t agree to this now, they already slept together here, and she was gonna think about it all day and night, might as well enjoy it as long as it would last.
He let out a sigh and pulled her to him, dropping a soft kiss on her lips.
“You have no idea how hard it was to see you every day for the past three weeks and not touch you, I lost a lot of brain cells trying to keep off you,”
He said as they drew apart.
“I don’t know what to do with the information but I will just take it as a compliment,”
She responded.
“You wicked woman,”
“I am innocent please,”
She replied smiling, she checked the time and facepalmed.
“What is it?”
“You are supposed to be in a meeting with Mr. Sean from South Africa, he arrives in less than ten minutes,”
“Oh, that’s true,”
He said looking around the office, his gaze landed on hers and she looked away, this office was never going to be the same for her, not after what happened here, wondering if she had made a mistake by letting what happened happen here, she quickly started fixing the office, he helped her too and they worked in silence.
“Would you mind coming home with me today?”
“Uh?”
“You don’t want to? It’s fine,”
“No that’s not what I meant, I was just surprised,”
“So are you coming?
“Yeah, sure,”
“Good,”
He said kissing her just as a knock came on the door, she went to usher Mr. Sean in and went back to her office since she wasn’t needed for the meeting.
“You are in big trouble girl,”
She said to herself as she sat down, she was in trouble but she would enjoy it, every moment.
“We just need to prepare ourselves for what’s coming,”
She whispered, as she opened her bag to get the pills that she kept close, she popped it into her mouth and downed some water, before going back to work, not like she could get much done, her mind kept going back to what happened in Lucas office and what would happen when they go over to his house together, she was both scared and excited for the new development.
“No getting our hopes up girl, remember it’s just a fling,”
The voice in her head warned.
“Yeah, I know, just a fling.”
