CHAPTER 11: WHAT HAPPENED?

Aria

I heard birds chirping outside the window, and I could tell it was morning. Slowly opening my eyes, I prepared myself for the glare of the sun. When I woke up I couldn't remember anything, I could only think about the pain in my lower area and in my legs. What the hell happened last night?
While I was deep in my thoughts, I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I looked down to see that it was Aiden.
Oh my fucking gosh, did I sleep with my boss?
I tried to get up but he pulled me back down and wrapped his leg around mine.
"Aiden". I said trying to wake him up.
"Hmm?"
"Get up. Why are we laying like this?" I was trying to wrap my head around everything, and trying to get up at the same time wasn't working.
"No, lay back down for a bit. What's the rush?" He said tightening his arm around my waist. His voice was so husky and low, if it wasn't for me wanting to leave, I would've given in to my desires all over again.
"Aiden please, I..."
"Baby, I love it when you beg me." He said shifting closer but not fully waking up.
"Seriously Aiden. Get up!"
"No, why?!"
"Aiden, get the fuck off of me!" I was finally fed up with his nonsense, I pushed him off of me, walked over to where my clothes were and started to get dressed.
"Aria? What the fuck is wrong with you?" He seemed pissed but I didn't care. All I wanted to do was to leave from here and go back to my own place and I would leave even if I had to fight him to get out.
"What's wrong with me? I want to go home. What am I even doing here?"
Getting up and rubbing his temples like he was frustrated, "Ugh. What the fuck are you talking about Aria? You're acting like you don't remember anything from yesterday!"
I didn't. I stood still and stared at him. I wanted to ask him but it seemed already, that he thought I was loosing my mind.
"I don't remember anything. I don't even remember if I ate yesterday, or even took a shower for that matter."
He walked over to me in all his glory and stared at me. He grabbed my hips and started to nibble on my neck, making me forget what I was doing in the first place.
"I could remind you, if you want me to?"
'Aiden no! I have to go!" I said trying to push him off of me.
"Why? You could stay here you know? Why are you trying to leave so suddenly? Last night couldn't have been that bad seeing that you were moaning and screaming all night." He said with a smirk on his face.
"I...I was? So we did sleep together last night? I don't know why I can't remember though."
"It's ok baby, It's a lot to take in." I looked at him and I was mad all over again. How could he act like everything was ok? Like this was so normal and it wasn't a problem for him? "Look, I don't have time for this!" I hurriedly got dressed and began grabbing my bag and my keys, heading out the door when he stopped and grabbed my arm.
"What the hell Aria? You can't leave! Where are you going anyways?"
"Excuse me? Why can't I leave?" He just stood there staring at me.
"How dare you ask me that? You dare stand here lying to yourself, to me for that matter?"
"What the fuck Aiden? You're not making any sense!" I was rying to pull my arm away, but his grip on me was getting even tighter.
"You!...You belong to me now!" Pulling my arm, slamming me into his chest.
"Let me go! How the hell do I belong to you?!?"
"Yeah! You've forgotten." He said laughing.
"Forgotten what?" Why was it this hard pulling myself away from him? God, I forgot how much strength he had against me.
"Forgotten about yesterday. Forgotten how you were so willing. Forgotten how I fucked you, so many times, so many ways. And forgotten how you submitted your body to me even without reason."He stared at me like he was looking through to my soul.
Just then I remembered why I submitted to him, and what all happened yesterday, and I didn't like it. It was a new feeling and I wasn't used to it. Was I lieing to myself because I knew the truth? Whatever it was, I wouldn't let him know.
"I have to go Aiden. You can't keep me here!"
"The hell I can't!" He said as he grabbed my throat and pushed me against the wall. "If I desired to Aria? I would keep you here and bound you to me. I would chain you up and make you my slave to use and fuck whenever and however I please! You think you can fucking run away from me, you are utterly wrong! I don't think you understand what it means to be mine, but you will soon find out."
"Why me? You are my boss! This can't happen again! It's wrong!" I expressed to him through tears.
"You know it too Aiden! Why are you acting like it's right?"
"Hmph. News flash Aria! It already happened! It's already done! Like I said, you belong to me now and there is nothing that anybody can do about it. Now as for your sweet little ass, don't try me next time or you will regret it! Every time you say something or do something I don't like, you will be punished for it. I dare you to disobey me and I'll become your worst fucking nightmare."
"Fine." I said grabbing my things.
"Oh, right I almost forgot. I'll be sending you a contract soon."
I stopped in my tracks in front of the door and turned around. He was standing there pouring himself a drink acting so nonchalant about this whole ordeal.
"Wait, what? A contract? I didn't know I had to sign a contract with you!!"
"There's a lot of things you dont know, but you will soon." He said turning around to face me, leaning against the bar.
"My assistant will email you the contract soon. I will give you until the 5th of next month to take care of any remaining business you have, because I want all of your undivided attention on me. Also, any so-called boyfriends you have cut them off. I don't want you having any contact with them so you won't be needing them anymore."
"I am not letting you take over my life! I barely know you! Have you lost your mind? Do I even have a say in all of this? In all of your madness?!?" I screamed as he raised an eyebrow at me and swirled the drink around in his cup.
"Watch your fucking tone Aria." He warned me, but I didn't care.
"Well does it?"
"Hmm, I suppose. What would you prefer? To have an opinion or to have more time to decide?"
As he stood waiting for my answer, I shook my head. I could not believe him! He made it seem like I would have a choice to decide when I knew full well he would only disregard my opinion in the end? I wasn't stupid and I knew that he would try something funny! He stood with his arms crossed looking at me with that smug smirk on his face!
"Choose now Aria, or no mind it!"
"Please, give me more time Aiden. I have my family and friends to worry about. I just got this job and I really need it. Why would you do this to me? Why would you choose my life to mess with? I haven't done anything to you! I don't even know you! I'm not used to this and I haven't even had a decent relationship before you came along!" I told him expressing my feelings to him again like he would even give a damn.
The whole time I talked he just stood there without any remorse or emotion on his face, which didn't really surprise me.....at all.
"Very well, you have one month before I fetch you."
"One month...one month? No! Absolutely not! I need more time than that!"
"How much more time do you need rabbit! I don't like waiting on anything for too long, and I damn sure won't wait any longer than that on you! I'm giving you enough time already to handle whatever it is that you need. Are you going to take my kindness for weakness?"
"No, I wasn't thinking about it that way. I just really need time to myself, time to know you, and even figure out if I want this 'thing' we have in the first place.
Why is it so hard to wait? You said it yourself right? You will do whatever you want to me whenever you pleased, so why can't I have the decent amount of time to myself for all of this? It's so sudden! You're just going to take me away from my current life just like that with no consequences?"
"Isn't that what I said? I don't like repeating myself and so far you've done three things I don't like already. How much longer are you going to stand there trying to get me to change my mind on what I want. What makes you think you have that kind of authority where you could ask me anything you want, where you could scream all you want without asking me for or to do it? I will give you one month as I've said before and don't test me woman, I'm not the most patient guy in this world. Keep disobeying me and you will regret every decision you've made so far. I promise you, what I say is law around here. I don't need your permission to do shit. I run everything here, from the power to the rust and everything in between! So, take your one month and do what you need to in it. I'm not going to waste any more time on your nonsense." He said as he walked over to his chair and sat down crossing his legs.
"Fine then.." I said on the brink of more tears. Which would be the fourth time he's made me cry in almost two days. I was heading out the door but not before I could hear him say, "Enjoy your time while you can little rabbit...".
What the hell could I do now? Is this what my life is going to be like from now on? It was too much to process, the only thing I knew was that I needed to call Tri, and I needed a drink.....bad.
