CHAPTER 17: LONGINGS AND DESIRE

"Answer me!" She was also startled by the man's stern voice. Both of them were startled again because of the anger in his voice.

"C-catherine P-perez, Sir," the woman seemed to cry.

"From what department?" His voice was calm now but with emphasis.

"S-sales, Sir," the formerly stubborn woman now looks like a puppy in front of them.

"Surrender your things tomorrow and clean your desk, Miss Perez," Clayton said with no emotion now.

"B-but, Sir..." she stammered.

Clayton ignored the woman and held her hand. She even looked at the female employee when she started crying. Clayton pulled her hand so they can leave already.

"Clay..." she called.

"Don't try to change my mind, Sam. I don't need that kind of employee in my company," he said not looking at her then opened the car door.

She was not able to do anything but get inside the car.

They can still see the woman who has both hands now covering her face while crying from where she was standing earlier.

"She did nothing wrong to your company. You shouldn't have fired her," she once tried to plead with Clayton.

She felt sorry for the woman. Silently, Clayton just started the car. She didn't take her eyes off the employee until they get past her.

When they stopped in front of their house, Clayton was still staring at the road and did not move. She also didn't go out of the car.

"You should learn how to fight for yourself, Sam. Don't just accept what is thrown at you and cry on one side," his voice was angry again and he was looking at her.

"S-she was right. I used my body. H-how can I defend myself?" She answered weakly with a bow.

Suddenly Clayton's expression changed and he touched her face. He took a deep breath first.

"What would happen to you after our deal? Do you have plans already? I can't keep quiet at the thought of what will happen to you when I'm no longer by your side," he asked worriedly.

He held her face with both hands while staring at her still. She also stared back at him without blinking.

Then don't leave me, she almost cried on her lips.

It's as if their eyes were talking while they were staring at each other's eyes for a while.

Eventually, Clayton pulled her nape to get her closer to him and kissed her on the lips. She responded quickly.

God! She already loves this man.

It was a very long and passionate kiss.

He stared at her again for a long time before speaking.

"I'm starving. What can we cook at your house?" smiling at his question.

She laughed softly as well. He held her hand as they walked inside their house.

He asked permission to check the contents of their fridge so he can cook something for them. She gladly said yes and excused herself to get inside her room to change clothes.

When she came out she saw that Clayton was already wearing an apron and chopping some onions.

Smiling, she went near him so she could help. She would have helped him but he just stopped her.

She just sat there watching his every move.

The luck of the woman he will love!

Faith is a very lucky woman, her mind said sadly as she was staring at Clayton's handsome face while being busy preparing their food.

They happily ate what he cooked. He was in the mood to tell her something about him and Red which she already knew since Red was so eager to share those details with her.

This was the first time that he opened up himself to her and became personal.

He was also asking her questions about her and her mother. He even asked her about the whereabouts of her real father. She told him everything even when she was not proud of her family background especially when she told him about her mother's work before.

She did not see any judgment in Clayton's reaction when he learned about her mother's former job. He just held her hand while listening to her.

She was the one who washed the dishes. He let her do it but hugged her back as she was busy with the dishes. Occasionally, he kisses her on the cheek and on her neck.

She felt very happy that night. She felt like they shared something special.

When she was done with the dishes, they went to the living room and watched TV. He hugged her and soon kissed her ear as they were sitting down on the sofa. She automatically closed her eyes when his mouth was nibbling one of her ears.

His hand immediately went inside the loose shirt she was wearing. He immediately touched one of her healthy breasts.

"Unggghhh... C-clayyyy," she moaned as she called his name.

His hand was already squeezing one of her breasts as he licked her ear. His tongue went down her neck as his hand also went down to the thin shorts she was wearing. She was just surprised when his hand was already inside her panties and he was feeling her femininity.

"Ohhhhh... Hmmm ..." her body was so hot as she moaned.

His mouth returned to her ear.

"Can I sleep here tonight?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

She turned her face to him to answer his question. She was already holding his nape while staring at his lips.

"My bed is big. You can sleep beside me," she replied and she kissed him on the lips.

While kissing him, she also sat on his lap. He even sighed violently when she grabbed what was so hard between his legs. She moved her body so she can rub her "thing" to his hardness.

"You're so hard," her voice almost didn't come out after their hot kiss.

He laughed softly and chased her mouth.

"It's your fault. You always make it go wild and crazy," he said before violently covering her lips.

She was even more shocked when he stood up while he was carrying her.

"Where's your room?" his breathless question.

She pointed to her room and he walked in that direction without lowering her body. Their moans immediately filled her room as they shared the longing with each other.

After their very passionate lovemaking, he immediately slept soundly on her bed.
