Chasing After Her

Valerie's POV With my face buried into the screen of my laptop, my lips synced with the words my eyes were feeding on. “Hey, Valerie, Mr. Ethan wants you in his office right now. I hope you are done with your project?” Without hesitation, i nodded quickly, hiding the flush in my cheeks. Natalie couldn’t suspect a thing. I immediately headed towards his office. Walking through the door and getting into his office, everything seemed to have taken a different turn. I felt butterflies all over my stomach. Ethan had just started conversing with me two weeks ago and I'm sure we're getting somewhere with this new friendship of ours, I stood there for a moment, touching my silhouette making sure that I looked appealing. Not like I would have gained any weight within the space of three hours but for some funny reason, I was curious about how I looked. On getting into his office, his eyes locked with mine as if he had no intention of backing down. I felt my breath catch in my throat, as the sharp pull of desire was already making its presence known. Mr Ethan was in a simple black suit with a red tie that clung to his neck. Oh, How much I wanted to pull him to my face with the aid of his tie. My gaze fell to the way his fingers moved on his keyboard. “He’s so f*****g handsome,” I screamed in my mind, holding back that blush. “Good to see you, Valerie.” His voice echoed. “Same here sir. You called for me. I am almost done with my project sir. All I need is one day of grace.” I said, my voice lower than usual, trying to mask the tension rising in my chest. “That's not why I called you in here.” “Oh?" I feigned innocence, pretending I didn’t know the real reason he called me in. “Valerie, there is something special about you. Your intelligence, your drive. They all pull me in. I told you the other time that I want us to be more than friends, remember you've not given me an answer yet.” “You don't expect me to say no, do you?” I asked my voice, a mix of playful and serious, curling my lips into that soft, knowing smile that always leaves him craving me. “What do I know?” He asked, rising from his chair and stepping forward, closing the distance between us until I could feel the warmth of his body and the electricity that came with his presence. His cologne hitting my nostrils, so manly and seductive. He didn’t waste a moment. His hands reached up, brushing against my cheek before slowly tracing down to my nape. I felt so hot within myself, gripped by fear and uncertainty. The room fell silent, the buzzing sound of the air conditioner was the only sound heard. “I had already let him in, but doubt crept in. Was this all he wanted? Just my body?” I thought to myself but then, I began judging his caring attitude toward me for the past two weeks. I wish I could but I couldn't resist his touch. How could I? I’d fallen in love with him. “Valerie, Have I told you how incredible you always look in your corporate outfit?” He said, his words a little rougher than I expected them to be. I glanced up at him, staring at his twinkling eyes. “What do you want from me?” I finally found my words. “I'm attracted to you Valerie. You are the sun that lights up my day. A moment with you feels like a second in heaven. Trust me, you’re messing with my head,Valerie. Every time i see you, i want mode of you. I can’t seem to get enough of it. Listen, i’m done pretending this is just professional. I want you Valerie. I don't want us to communicate with words anymore. Let's go further in this babe.” He whispered into my ear. “Wouldn’t you like to hang out at my place tonight? Let's make what we both share.” His voice was barely audible, worse than before. I swallowed hard, trying my best to remain composed and not appear cheap and desperate before him. I let his words hang in the air for a minute. I considered walking away because everything seemed to be happening so fast. But then, his eyes. Something in his eyes, something in the way he looked at me, made it impossible for me to leave. I should have known that sleeping with him would definitely cost me more than my pride. But then, Before me was a chance for the moment. I didn’t care. I just wanted him. “You don't have to say a word. Here,” He stretched a key to me. “My driver will be waiting for you in the driveway. If you're interested, you know what to do.” “Don’t.” A voice whispered in my head. A whisper that came with for-seen danger. I felt skeptical, i didn’t want to end up becoming one of his girls. But then again, some part of me wants him around. ***** Ethan’s POV Adorned in one of my most expensive attire, I stood at the corner of the room with my back leaning on the door. I couldn't help but stare lustily at the slim thick figure lying across the bed. I always knew she'd come around. The outline of her figure is heavenly. The lingerie she was wearing did justice to her body, revealing her entire curves despite the dimly lit room. She was awake, her fingers working on her phone as she lay on her bosom. Her back curves shooting upward creating a firm bubble. Her long chestnut brown hair spread around her back marking her waist which had sparkling ornaments on it. They reflected the light of the moon. She looked ravishing. I assured myself that this would be absolutely nothing more—Than one unforgettable night. “You want this?” I asked, my voice as calm as a dove. She turned around, staring in my direction, her firm Breast bulging out of her upper wear. “What do you think?” She questioned seductively. “If I didn't want it, do you think I’ll be here?” A smile ran across her oval face. I ignored it, that didn't matter to me. I moved towards the bed, Taking my wristwatch off my wrist and my car keys from my pocket, I placed them on the table. She immediately rose on her knees starting to pull out the buttons of my shirt. She was fast, I loved it. But what I loved more, is things being done my way. “Strip!” I commanded, pushing her away, her back tossing on the soft bed. She rose back on her knees, the bed was soft so she wasn't hurting. Slowly, she began pulling off the tiny strap which held the lingerie together in place. It fell loose to the floor, leaving her bare to my stare. Her body appeared so firm yet soft when I placed my hands on it. I don't understand the biology behind it but it was amazing to behold and feel. Speechless, I rushed to her face, pulling her lips in to feast with mine allowing our tongues to lock against each other. She was giving the same energy, eating my lips like a famished beast. I loved how our mouth was colliding with desperate hinger. Her hands were busy taking off my unbuttoned shirt and then playing with my trousers. I felt her curiosity to feel my size in her fingers. I pushed her away and tied her up with my belt. She should have understood the moment we were getting into. The room was eerie at first but then as if a button was pushed, soft sounds of moans and promises filled the room. She complied, moaning softly as I trailed kisses her nape downwards, savoring every inch of her supple skin. *** The rays of sunlight ran through the curtain, slowly hitting my face as I squinted and flinched my eyes open. My eyes met with the window. I felt a body wrapped in mine with a head on my chest. I looked down to find the brunette still fast asleep on my chest, her fingers placed on my chest hair. Fuck! I pushed her off, swinging my foot to the floor. She woke up letting out a slight groan as she stretched weakly. “Last night was amazing, what do you think Ethan?” Her soft voice floated in my ear, irritating my ear system so I just ignored her, walking towards the bathroom to freshen up and leave. After showering, I returned to find her on my shirt. “What the hell?” I yelled, fixing my gaze on her brown hazel colored almond eyes but was instantly struck by her pretty eyes which screamed innocence. It was so pretty to resist, staring at the cute dimple planted deep on her right cheek while she smiled. I walked closer to where she sat on the bed. This can't be happening, This only means one thing. Shit! Never did I imagine that I would be developing feelings after a one-night stand session and to crown it all, she is my student. It had never happened to me so why is it happening now with this girl? She'd been with us in my pharmaceutical engineering academy for months now. I never knew I'd develop feelings for her like this. Nevertheless, I'm terminating these f*****g feelings cause now I hate the fact that she made me fall in love with her. “I don't have a spare, so I had to borrow your shirt.” She smiled, and her smile became more enchanting to my heart but I had to ignore it. I reached into my bag and brought out my checkbook and a pen. Working the pen with the aid of my fingers, I scribbled some figures before handing the cheque over to her. “And this is for?” Burying her face into the cheque, her mouth fell open. “What is this for? Ten million dollars for who?” she investigated in a whisper, her voice fidgeting. And for the first time since last night, i couldn’t dare look her in the eye
