Chapter 18

**CHLOE DUARTE**

It was forbidden and even wrong, but I can't regret anything that happened inside that elevator while I was trapped with the stranger.

I again have the urge to ask if he is hinting at the same moment in the elevator, but I cannot say if that man was James Colucci himself.

"I think so...", I mumble quickly with my head down.

"And how was it? Describe it to me..."

Damn it! Am I hallucinating or did he ask me to do this?

"It was forbidden, but I don't regret every second of it, I enjoyed it so much that I even questioned whether I was lucid at that moment...", and again I take extreme care not to reveal too much information.

I could easily shut up and change the subject, but the alcohol in my blood manipulates me.

"Was it that good?", my traitorous eyes meet one of his hands that leaves the steering wheel and lands near my left thigh, the movement was so fast that I quickly put my legs together at the thought that he was about to touch me right there.

"Can we change the subject, please?", I ask in a whine as I try not to shiver inside this car.

"Does this subject make you uncomfortable, Chloe? If it makes you more relaxed, I have also had an experience like yours..."

Just one?

Knowing that he could be the mystery man in the elevator doesn't make me relaxed at all, it makes me terrified...

"And how was it?"

Holy shit!

Shut up, Chloe!

"It was very unexpected and that only makes it better, you know when a simple touch of a person seems to set your whole body on fire?", he waits for my answer, but I just nod my head, staring at the other cars around us.

"This is exactly what happened, my conscience was warning me to stop it, but my body and even my soul were begging for more. The desire for the forbidden was so intense that I turned off my rational side and focused on the sensations of the moment."

"She seemed to feel the same as I did, I had never felt a connection as strong as that, when my mouth met those soft and tempting lips it was the last straw for me. I couldn't stop, my hands were burning to touch every part of that desiring body, her excitement was mine and...", I whimpered aloud, groping for the car door until I found the automatic window release on my side.

Why did it get so hot in here?

I open the window and control the urge to stick my head out as the cold, balmy night air hits my feverish face.

"What's up?", I'm about to shake my head, but freeze when his huge hand lands on my bare leg.

Don't freak out!

"Are you sure you're okay? You're shaking, Chloe..."

For God's sake!

If this man doesn't remove his silly hand from my body right now, I won't be responsible for my next actions...

"It's normal...I think...", I stammer, trying not to focus on the sensations his hand brings me.

"What are you doing?", I widen my eyes as he begins a sequence of stroking and squeezing my thigh.

"Trying to make you relax, you're too nervous, that so for our conversation?", my eyes are drawn to his wonderful fingers.

I want to take his hand and guide it freely around my body, as I would like to be touched by him, but even though I am drunk, my senses are still alert and urge me to push him away immediately.

"Being near you makes me like this...", I confess in a broken voice as a sigh escapes me.

"Like what?", he teases, putting more pressure on his touch as if to take advantage of that traffic is not in my favor at the moment.

I close my eyes completely silent, and my mind wanders to the craziness that happened inside that elevator, I bite my lower lip as if comparing the sensations that James and the mysterious man cause in me.

They are the same sensations and it drives me crazy, because I am almost certain that it is James, he is the man who has stolen my thoughts for a long time.

"Don't hold back, Chloe. Tell me how you feel..."

After his whisper I try to hold on to what little of my reason I have left, but I can't, desire is greater and it's completely overpowering me.

"I feel anxious when I'm near you as if we've met before, my body vibrates and begs to feel your touch. I don't know what it is yet, but it's stronger than I am...and it's getting stronger..."

"These sensations that I make you feel, do they feel good?", I open my eyes and feel his hand deepening on the inside of my thigh.

I try to close my legs, but his hand stops me, his blue eyes are fixed on me and it's driving me crazy.

Is he wanting me to lose what little control I have left?

An involuntary groan escapes me when I feel his fingers on the fabric of my panties, one of my hands grasps his and pulls it to my body while the other finds the leather fabric of the side of the seat.

I hear the sound of the windows around us closing completely as the car's air-conditioning is turned on.

"Fuck!", he grunts loudly as he quickly pulls away from me, leaving me confused by his sudden reaction.

I control my gasping for breath as he too pulls himself together and focuses back on the traffic.

As the car in front moves forward, I am surprised when James maneuvers the car as we quickly pull out of the lane and onto a dirt road further down the road.

"Where are we going, James?", he doesn't answer me, just speeds further down the bumpy, deserted road.

Still not understanding anything, I sink into the comfortable leather seat and hold on tight, further ahead he parks the car under a tree and then turns off the car.

"Why are we here?", I try to finish, but his hands undo my belt and pull me onto his lap.

Before I can do anything, his warm mouth meets mine hard, and I groan into his lips as I cup his neck with my hands while his hands hold my hips against his firm body.

Now control and reason are gone.

James grunts into my mouth as he pulls and bites my lower lip while our tongues come together in a languid and desperate kiss.

"I've wanted to do this since the first time I saw you, Chloe," he whispers against my mouth.

I take advantage of this and also begin to put my wishes and desires into practice, I close my eyes as his lips drag across the skin of my neck, and my fingers grip and pull the black strands of his hair tightly.

By now I'm not thinking straight, I just want him to keep doing what he's doing, to keep driving me wilder and wilder inside this car.

For a moment I allow myself to forget that this man is my boss and that I may regret this when I sober up, but all these details seem to disappear from my mind when his hands pull Matt's jacket away from my shoulders.

I open my eyes meeting the crystal blue sea of his eyes admiring my body with desire shining in his fierce gaze, I arch myself against his lap encouraging him to continue.

James doesn't seem to be in a sane mind as he soon obeys and embarks on this crazy adventure with me, I shiver glued to his chest feeling the tips of his fingers skirting my breasts and seeping into the valley between them.

"This color suits you perfectly, I have to be careful from now on..."

Still confused by his comment, I raise my head with a frown in pure confusion, James seems to understand and quickly explains with a naughty smile on his fleshy mouth:

“You are my undoing, Chloe. I have to control myself not to bring you into my office and repeat this since we'll be living together daily for hours..."
