Forbidden Love

Chapter TWO

– Alessandro

FOR TWO WEEKS, Alessandro had been between women, none was in his life, and the moment he saw Kate, who seemed to be the newest addition into his employees he knew, that he had to have her. He didn’t know what the reason was, but he was gratified to her, instant lust, and instant body reaction was there. His body tightened, and his skin seemed too tight for him. His hands itched to touch and feel, his lips wanted to taste, and his eyes wanted to feast.

He never mixed business with his pleasure, so having that kind of lust for a woman who was going to work for him didn’t sit well with him. He knew he wanted her, and he knew that he needed to have her. So that brought him to the conclusion that he didn’t need her at his workplace, that he could dispense with her there, and have her in his bed instead. Those dark eyes that at the first moment he thought they were brown, but when he really looked, he saw that they were the darkest shade of blue, reminding him of the deepest part of the ocean. Her hair was sat up in a conservative way, a knot at the nape of her neck, it looked soft and silky and had the color of the ripe wheat. His hand itched to touch it and having his finger run through it. He wondered what length it had and how it would transform her face when she had it loose, and down her shoulders. Her lips were lush and soft, the upper lip had a perfect form of a cupid bow, and the lower lip was bigger and fuller. Making him speculate about their taste and feel beneath his mouth, how they would feel when he sank his teeth into their softness.

The way his thoughts started playing havoc on his body, the way it started tightening and getting effected, had Alessandro getting uncomfortable. Taking a couple of steps, which must have alerted the woman before him, since she moved back, putting some more space between the two once again. The smirk returned to his lips. So not that unaffected after all. That thought for some odd reason brought a sincere smile to his lips instead of his remarkable and infamous smirk.

“Miss William is it?” He finally spoke, his voice low and betraying nothing.

“Yes Mr. Piselli, William, Kate William”

“So Kate when are you expected to start working?”

“The next week sir”

“I see, do you mind sharing a lunch? Say a business lunch, since we need to make each other’s acquaintance since you’ll be working closely with me.”

“Thank you for the offer sir, but I’m sorry to decline since I have somewhere else to be other engagements.”

While Alessandro was listening to her decline, he felt the elevator coming to a standstill at the lobby, and as soon as the woman finished her sentence she walked out, not even sparing him a single last glance. It was highly offensive and had it been someone else, he wouldn’t have let it pass as easily, but because that particular woman was intriguing his senses and his personality, he let it pass. He even saw it as a challenge. He could see the woman was affected in some way, maybe she was intimidated, or maybe she was acting carefully? He wasn’t quite sure, but he still remembered how her eyes dilated slightly, and the steps she took back when he moved closer, or when he spoke.

“We will see how long your resistance will last miss Kate William before I have you where I want you.”

Still watching the telltale of the woman’s back, a genuine smile took over his mouth before he mumbled to himself and then turned in the opposite direction and moved on to his next point on his schedule.

_____________________________________

Monday morning Allesandro arrived at work rather earlier than he usually did. The first thing he did was asking his personal assistant to bring Kate to work with them for the day. He never asked for any help from the secretarial team, he was always content with himself and his personal assistant. It was the first time he ever needed anyone from there and his personal assistant wasn't the wiser for the reason why he needed anyone from there and was rather appalled by the request, though he knew better than questioning his boss about his sudden decision.

The next thing he did was a private meeting with his lawyer he went for a specific contract that he needed for his private life. one he usually used with any woman He wanted to have an affair with and have some good time. Since this wasn't the first time, he needed such a contract his lawyer had it ready within the hour so when Kate arrived to do the tasks, he had for her, she was surprised with his need for a private meeting. She didn't know why he wanted a meeting with a secretary that just started working for him he could see that in her eyes, the eyes that were transparent and reflected her every thought. He could also read her confusion and fear?

Allesandro was taken aback by the fair he saw in her eyes why would such a beautiful woman be afraid what could her reasons be, but he was at least glad that he could see it, so he would know how to handle her and the fair. He smiled at her to lessen her nervousness and to reassure her, he wanted her relaxed and in the right mindset for his proposition.

“You wanted to see me sir?” she said, taking the first step into the conversation, and her voice was professional if not for the small whimper that was there, one that he wouldn’t hear if not for his trained ears.

“Yes Kate, take a seat please,” he said his voice bland and with no apparent tone showing, an interest, a demand or any other feelings.

“What I’m going to propose to you wouldn’t affect you, or your job here if you refuse. What I’m going to talk to you about will stay in this room, I hope you understand that.”

“Of course, sir, I did sign a confidential agreement about not discussing any business matter with any other party outside of the firm or even other departments.” She said and confusion was more evident both in the depth of her eyes and the tune of her voice. “Although I’m not sure why sir you think you already need to remind me of that already.”

“Because what I’m going to discuss with you isn’t business, or at least not business related to this firm. What I’m going to discuss with you is related to only me and will be only that. is it clear?”

With another nod of Kate, Alessandro proceeded with his speech. “Kate, the moment I lay my eyes on you last week, I knew that I had to have you in my bed. I knew that I wanted you as a woman more than a secretary. The instant lust I felt for you was – is irresistible, I know that it won’t settle if I don’t take you to my bed.”

The widening of Kate’s eyes was almost unreal, but Alessandro guessed that was the effect of his proposal doing that to her. He didn’t want her to refuse before he had said everything he had to say. No, he didn’t want her to refuse at all, and with those thoughts, he went on.

“So, because of that, I’m proposing you another position, in my bed instead of my office. I know that I have many capable hands here to do your job, and maybe even better than you, but for sure I’m not going to find another woman to make me feel the same lust I’m feeling for you. You’ll, of course, be taken care of, and you will be compensated for the paychecks you’ll be missing, and once the affair runs its course, I’ll make sure that you still have a good payment that will keep you going and an apartment for your use until you wish to move out. and add to that, I’ll grant you a new position in another company, of course, none of mine, but one where you will get paid handsomely and be secure.”

Finishing the last of his proposition, he pushed the contract forward, stating clearly what each other would be expecting of the other party, and what was expected of them. The amount of money Kate would be paid stood clear in the very first page. An amount that had the woman’s eyes widening even more if that was possible. Alessandro could see the surprise, the shock, and then the anger in the female’s eyes. The anger that lightened the color of her eyes and made them glow. He also saw the shaking of her shoulders. Not because of distress or sadness, not because she was ready to cry, but because of the rage that seemed to have consumed her. As if the unsure and afraid woman had changed in those few minutes into a whole different person consumed by anger and rage.

“Mr. Alessandro. Thank you for the flattering proposition.” She said, and the sarcasm was dripping of each syllable that left her lips. “Although I’m flattered sir, though I suggest you roll up that proposition and the contract as well and shove them up where the sun wouldn’t shine.” Getting up from where she was seated, she didn’t spare the male another glance, although she did stop by the door and continued in a more controlled voice. “I’ll make sure to clear my disk right away and be on my way within half an hour.”

“I told you, your refusal wouldn’t affect your job here” Alessandro stopped her with those words. His voice hard and breaking no argument. His eyes were just as hard as his voice and his anger was slowly boiling, simmering and ready to explode. “Although I don’t appreciate your way of refusal, I do respect it, now if you go back to your disk, Mike will be with you to train you to meet my standards since you will be working closely with me, exclusively with me.”
