Chapter 27
KATE
I got up and went to the bathroom, facing my reflection in the large mirror. What was I doing? God! I closed my eyes, mentally reproving myself for what I had just done. When I opened them again, his blue eyes were staring at me through the mirror. He came up to me, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Any problem?" he asked.
"It's just that... we shouldn't be doing this," I replied.
"Why?" he questioned.
"Because I work for you."
"Enough." He let go of me.
I turned to face him, covering my breasts with my arms.
"Do you think I usually sleep with my staff? I've never done that, Kate. I have a policy of not having that kind of relationship with my personnel."
"Then what are we doing now?"
"I... couldn't help it."
It genuinely seemed to torment him, judging by his expression.
"What do you think they'll think if they find out I slept with you? With my boss?"
"No one will know about this."
Hearing that felt like a punch in the stomach. No one will know because you're his dirty little secret.
"I shouldn't have let this happen. What do you think I want to be, the secretary who sleeps with the boss? I think I already am, aren't I?"
"The problem here is what you think about it. Not what others think. You're the one creating a barrier."
"You're right! I don't want to think of myself like that. I feel like... a slut."
"How can you say that about yourself? Am I making you feel this way?"
"It's not you; it's the fact that you're my boss! I feel like it's taking away my dignity, and I can't let that happen."
"I can't change that, Kate. And this is just... sex. Your job has nothing to do with it."
Sure. It's just sex. Why should I worry?
"I'm not like this, Nathan. That's why I can't let this happen. I always achieve things on my own, and if by chance I succeed in this job, I'll make some kind of reference to having slept with you."
"Do you think I would give you any privileges? That would never happen."
"It doesn't matter. This has to end."
"I won't give this up. I can't. Do you think I haven't tried?"
"It shouldn't be so hard for you."
"You're right. I don't know what's happening. But I went crazy when I couldn't find you at that hotel. I knew nothing about you, and at the same time, I needed you and wanted to have you again. I thought this would pass after being with you again. But it didn't. And do you think it's easy for me to see you every day?"
"Seriously? I think you can live without me. You can be with anyone you want."
"I've tried... and it didn't work."
"Are you expecting me to believe that?"
"It's the truth. Remember Miss Smith? I met her at Emily's party. I drove her home that night with bad intentions. But nothing happened because it was you I wanted. It's you I want."
"Stop it. I don't want to hear this. I won't continue with this."
He approached, holding my face.
"Shhh," he whispered, kissing me.
"Do not do this to me."
He kissed me again. I couldn't resist. He lifted me onto the cold marble of the sink. His lips descended, paying attention to my breasts and sucking eagerly.
He paused only to undress his pants before lifting me and carrying me to the shower. Placing me on the floor, he turned on the water. The warm water hit my body provocatively as he took some soap.
"Are you not listening to me?" I asked.
Joining me in the shower, his hands slid from my sternum and breasts to my belly. Then he turned me around to wash my back. He made me lose my reason; that's what happened when he touched me, and that's what was happening now. Suddenly, he pressed me against the glass of the shower, surprising me. My breasts collided with the cold glass, making me shiver and gasp.
"Nathan..."
"Shhh. You're annoying, but you're so beautiful, and God... you're so hot." He pressed his body against mine, making me feel his erection against my butt. "I just fucked you, but I'm already crazy to be inside you again. Can you feel how hard I am just for you?" He kissed my shoulder and pulled my legs slightly apart before plunging into me, fulfilling my desire.
I pressed my hands against the glass. I couldn't think of anything else. He squeezed one of my breasts and tangled his hand in my hair, pulling my head to the side and kissing the skin on my neck and my earlobe. His hand descended, squeezing my butt firmly, making me moan and beg for more.
His moans with each thrust almost drove me insane. I pressed my body against his, and his fingers found my clit. Damn, I was about to come undone. He increased the pace of his thrusts, every inch of him bringing me closer to the climax. His firm, wet body against mine. What could be better than this? What could be better than the pressure of his fingers on this delightful spot?
"Nathan..."
"Mine," he whispered, pulling out of me and turning me around.
Please don't stop. Lifting me, he held my legs around his hips. I watched his dark gaze on my mouth. He slid his thumb over my lips. I kissed his finger and began to suck it as he watched attentively. He closed his eyes, dazed, and took his finger out of my mouth. His lips covered mine, hungry, while his fingers skillfully worked, pressing and teasing my clit as he moved sensually, thrusting into me.
"Only mine," he whispered with his lips against mine.
Soon, his rhythm became frighteningly forceful. My head fell onto his shoulder. Almost there. My heart was beating rapidly, and the heat accumulated so quickly in my stomach. My body pulsed in various places, and I exploded. I could only hear his muffled moans under the sound of blood rushing in my ears.
He pulled out of me but didn't let go of me, fearing I wouldn't be able to stand on my own. I tried to regain my senses.
