Chapter 11 Eleven
Chapter 11
Tessa's POV
Dragging myself off the bed the next morning became an issue. Knowing I'd be seeing Damien again was slowly eating at my insides.
The man was literally my boss now, how would I put up against him. He'd made sure he told me just what it was he wanted and I just couldn't give in to him
Even if he made all my sensory senses hightened and on alert, I wouldn't want to be termed as the 'Boss's Slut'.
Hell, I have no idea if the man had a girlfriend or a wife. But I was sure there was no wife seeing he had no ring on his finger.
But again, a man couldn't be trusted.
“Are you going to get your ass off the bed and go get ready?“ Anna's gruff voice reached my ears and I groaned rolling on to my back.
I stared up at the ceiling.
“I don't feel like leaving,” I sighed, glancing at her. She shot me a glare.
“I thought we talked about this last night?”
“I'm just feeling really…”
“Tess?” she drawled, propping up on her elbows and staring down at me.
“You can do it. If he forces himself on you.. that's rape. We'd sue him and you'd stop working for him,” she pushed the lock of hair falling over her eyes behind her ear. “You're an adult, sex is consensual”
I sat up.
“There. That's the problem. I'm afraid I don't have control of my body whenever he's around me. I always want to do it” she raised a brow at me.
“Then do it, goddamit” she muttered, before falling back on the bed.
“C'mon, go take your bath” her voice was muffled, since her head was pressed into the pillow.
With a loud sigh, I got off the bed. Luckily, I still had time.
Taking a quick bath, I hurriedly dressed up. Well, even though I didn't need the job, I needed the money.
Anna had lent me her most decent skirt, one I never knew she owned.
My white collared shirt coupled with her black penciled skirt gave me a slight sense of
satisfaction.
At least, I was able to blend in even though qinstead of heels, I wore my brown sandals.
I hit the elevator button as the doors slided open, I stepped in and pressed the button leading to the last floor.
My heart thudded inside of me. Glancing at my wristwatch, I discovered I was 5 minutes early.
Is Damien in? What is he expecting of me as a PA?
The elevator dinged and I stepped out of it. The walk to his office was the longest three seconds of my life.
“Good morning,” I greeted Leah. She smiled at me, looking up from her laptop.
“Good morning” she replied sweetly. I glanced at Damien's door.
“Is the boss in yet?” I asked her and it got her attention.
“Yeah. He requests you report to him immediately you arrive” she said and I resisted the insane urge to scoff.
“Okay, I'd do that right away. Thank you” I muttered before walking past her desk.
Knocking on the door, I rubbed my hands together as I waited for a response. It took a few seconds before I heard a muffled reply.
I pushed open the door and stepped in. Today, he was in a brown suit, that contrasted with the color of his eyes. His hair was neatly combed and gelled compared to yesterday.
He raised his eyes and they involuntarily softened on seeing me. I dragged a ragged breath through my nose.
The man was so beautiful, if that was a term meant for a man.
“Tessa, you're just on time,” he said pushing out of his seat. His lean and muscular body making it's way towards man.
Well, the man definitely looks good in a suit but he looks better naked.
I blinked twice at the thought trying to get it out of my head. This wasn't going to work.
Me picturing my 'Boss' naked at any slightest chance.
If I was going to stay away from him and just stick to working, then I better get those dirty thoughts out of my head.
“What's going through your pretty head?” he asked, nudging my face up with his finger. I stared into his green orbs, my eyes searching for… I don't know.
Our eyes locked for the briefest second before I looked away, stepping back.
I wasn't going to do this.
“Good morning sir” I mumbled, staring down at my sandals.
“Oh, we're doing this now?” he asked, but I refused to stare up at him. Those eyes were fucking hypnotizing and the last thing I wanted was to get hynoptized by my boss.
He turned around, his back facing me. That's when I raised my head up staring at his broad frame.
The man was big.
“Meet Leah, she would give you a tour and tell you everything you need to know about your job as my PA,” he said, his voice way too formal.
I shifted on my feet uncomfortably.
“Ok sir,” I mumbled. We could work with this, everyone staying on their lane. The thought quite saddened me, I don't know why.
He turned around to face me, this time his green eyes were blazing.
Cupping my face with his hands, he leaned in and kissed me.
It was fast, everything happened too fast that I couldn't comprehend what was happening until his lips were on mine.
His tongue stroked mine leisurely and softly before claiming my mouth. I grabbed his arms for support.
God, the man could kiss.
Just when I was about giving in just like I always did, he pulled back raking a hand through his hair.
“I'm not forcing you to do anything, Tessa,” he stated, his eyes pinning me to the spot where I stood.
“So I'm giving you space. Just for now. But I will make sure you always remember we have an unfinished business” he said and with that, he turned back walking back to his seat.
It was my cue to leave. Shit.
