Chapter 15 It's Called Harassment
By Alejandro
I brought a girl I met at a pub to my office. The first time was fine, and in my office, I don't know if it was because I knew Valeria was nearby and hoped that something, even a little bit, would bother her, but I didn't have a bad time. I asked the girl to send her some attention with a card.
She made that distant gesture and confirmed that she was upset.
I smiled and winked at her, making her complicit in my mischief without telling her what it was.
I love making Valeria jealous; it made me feel like I had some control over her.
I took the girl out to dinner and then brought her to my house. That's when I thought of telling Vale to come over to get my occasional lover out of my bed.
To have a bit of intimacy with her again, even if it was something innocent.
She would never sleep with me when I had been with someone else hours before, but at least I would have her in my apartment.
I asked her to organize my wardrobe, knowing she couldn't do it quickly. She fell for it, saying she would come another day to finish.
When I came out of the bathroom, she immediately turned.
I approached her, and when I looked at her ass, I got an erection and felt like I hadn't had sex in months. If she said yes, I wouldn't last two minutes inside her.
She excites me like no other has managed to, and it doesn't matter if I just finished having sex; I think about her legs, her ass, her breasts, or her mouth... and I'm ready again. She has become an obsession. At first, it was because she was the only woman who said no to me, but now I know it's much more than that.
I'm waiting, like an animal on the prowl, for the moment to dominate her, to break down those barriers, to have her in my arms, to bury myself in her.
I found out that Susana called her. I don't know what Susana is up to; she never cared if I slept with my secretaries. I think it's because she knows Valeria is prepared to keep up with my work pace.
I arrived at the family home; it was Sunday. I often had lunch with my aunt, and Susana was usually there since they were best friends and both widows.
It seemed like they were talking about Valeria and went silent when they saw me.
I greeted both of them.
We had lunch talking about the trip. Susana was one of the few people who knew all the companies we had; she was in charge of the staff for all the companies.
"Speaking of the trip, why did you choose such striking dresses for Valeria?"
"Didn't you like them?"
"Yes, but she..."
"You like striking women with nice legs, and she has those attributes and more."
"Yes, but she is so... sexy that she stood out too much, although very elegant and..."
"Hundreds of photos of you two arriving at the galas came in. People said you were the sensation of the events, and many thought you were a couple."
My aunt told me.
"She's my secretary."
"That never stopped you from sleeping with them."
My aunt and Susana bombarded me.
"I didn't sleep with her."
"I think she's the sexiest and most beautiful secretary you've ever had. And you didn't sleep with her?"
"She doesn't... I'm not interested."
They looked at each other and smiled, which gave me the hint that they were up to something.
"You arrived together on Friday."
"I had a crazy woman at home who wouldn't leave, and I enjoy bothering Vale. She gets uncomfortable and..."
"Vale?"
"Valeria."
"You get along well."
"Yes, she's smart, picks up on everything quickly, knows several languages, even French, which she says she speaks so-so. And when I asked her... in French... something... she answered... no, with a complete sentence."
I don't know how these two witches manage to get me to fall into their conversations, even though I'm a lawyer.
"Tell me if you want me to move her to another department."
"No."
I looked at her horrified.
"You yourself said she's the best. I feel... supported by her."
"Did I show you the pictures of the kids? They look adorable."
I hadn't seen any pictures, and I heard my aunt say that we make a lovely couple.
"They look like celebrities, it seems like you're kissing her here."
"I didn't kiss her at any event."
"Then where did you kiss her?"
"In... None of your business! What do you want to know? I didn't sleep with her! She's the only woman who rejected me a thousand times."
I said, confessing exasperatedly.
"She must have a boyfriend."
"She doesn't, but she'll fall for me eventually... meanwhile..."
"Alejandro, you're a lawyer, you know what harassment is."
"I'm not harassing her... I just kissed her a few times."
"If she doesn't want it, it's called harassment."
"She wants it."
"But she rejects you."
"No, she doesn't. Besides, when I bother her, I'm not harassing her."
"How do you bother her?"
"When I asked her to come to my room to kick out whoever was in my bed, she got quite uncomfortable. It amuses me how she calls those women 'ladies'. Sometimes it's complicated for them to understand they need to leave, and many think Vale is my girlfriend who caught me with another woman, so they leave immediately. The other day, I called her to do the same at home."
"Did she go?"
"I already had my driver at her apartment door when I told her."
"Alejandro, that's not the job she's hired for."
"She's my assistant. She also organizes my closet. I find things better when she arranges them."
"That's not her job either."
"Get ready to see us together every day. I'll send the driver to her so she can prepare my clothes."
"Alejandro, you can't do that."
"Yes, I can. I'm the boss, and I give the orders."
With that, they shut up.
"Send me all the photos you have from the events."
I told Susana.
We finished lunch, talked a bit about business, and I left.
On Monday, I told Valeria that my driver was at her door. She was surprised when I didn't have anyone in my bed.
"Prepare my clothes and breakfast."
She didn't answer, she was studying the situation. When I came out of the bathroom, my bed was made, and the clothes I needed to wear were laid out on it.
Valeria prepared breakfast for me. I told her to have breakfast with me. She made the toast, spreading the jam I liked.
Thus began a new phase. Sometimes she would kick a woman out of my bed and even pay her if necessary. Then, we would have breakfast together.
"Make my tie knot. Do you know how?"
"Yes."
That put me in a bad mood. Did she have that much intimacy with her ex-boyfriend? Did she make his tie knot?
"How did you learn?"
I asked her rudely.
"My dad taught me because his knot always came out crooked. I don't know how he manages now..."
I noticed she became thoughtful.
She smiled in that special way, the one I rarely got to see.
We arrived together at the company every day. Susana never called her again.
Valeria continued to send gifts to my occasional lovers, going to my apartment every morning. She was the one who prepared my breakfast, my clothes, and I never made my tie knot again in the morning.
I became dependent on her.
Every time she made my tie knot, I tried to kiss her. Many times, I succeeded.
Also, many times when she came into my room, I would approach her. I never managed to go beyond some kisses and caresses.
Sometimes, the caresses were more intense, reaching her intimacy, and I felt her tremble, I trembled too. Then I would go crazy and needed to extinguish the fire she ignited in me.
It was like a vicious circle. When I kissed her and longed to possess her, I ended up hiring someone else, and more and more, I noticed the distance between us. However, she never stopped coming to my apartment and no longer said anything when she saw me naked, which happened often. She always tried not to look at me.
Many times, Valeria noticed how I reacted when she was near.
My sex life was derailed. It seemed no woman satisfied me. I couldn't stand being with any woman more than two or three times.
If only she knew that the excitement was only caused by her.
