The Game Of Lust

Work Dinner!

“I'm not really single. ” I responded with an awkward laugh.

“Really? Then who are you seeing?”

I turned to Paula and everyone sitting at the table, they immediately looked away and acted as though they were not listening to us.

“The same person you met last year,”

I answered hoping she had forgotten what Matt looked like. Cole watched us attentively, turning from face to face. I quickly picked up my drink and took it to my mouth.

“Matt Westler?” she asked,

“Yea … him”

“ What a coincidence, I actually met him a month ago at the Haricool launch.”

My eyes opened wider as I nearly chocked on my drink, “You did?”

“I did! And I also heared some big news,”

“And what's … what's that?” I asked turning to paula, begging her with my eyes to save me.

“You know what Joe, I don't think we need to get into all these personal stuff,” Paula stepped in but was ignored, as Joanne opened her lips to announce, “He told he's getting married soon!”

Everyone gasped as the heard,

“Gina, you're getting married?” one of my co workers jumped in,

I opened my mouth to explain but the words wouldn't come out, they all stared, waiting anxiously for my answer, “No … I'm not getting married…”.

Before I could speak any further, Joanne jumped in.

“Actually he's getting married to someone else, so now I'm confused!”

An unusual silence came upon us as everyone froze.

I clenched my fist in anger but all I really felt was humiliation.

“How are you guys still together if he's marrying someone else?”

I felt Cole's gaze piercing me, apparently he was the most anxious to hear my response but I was frozen still, I fought the urge to slam Joanne's face against the table and laugh to my hearts content but there wouldn't be any point. From the day I started working at Wadfort Joanne had made it her life's mission to torment me with every chance she got. She'd humiliated me, stolen my ideas, made me wear monkey suit and a list of messed up things I would need an entire day to mention.

“Gina! Are you still there Gina?” she laughed as she flicked her fingers at me, “Earth to Gina!”

I picked up my jacket and quickly excused myself. I made sure to avoid all the eyes peering at me on my way out. It felt as though my head was spinning and my legs moved unsteadily, I kicked my heels off my feet when I got outside and held them in my hands, I stopped for a moment recalling the shocked faces staring back at me, she made me look quite stupid in Front of everyone, or rather I did that myself.

“Regina!”

I heard my name and paused by the time i turned to see who it was.

It was Cole, I turned away dropping my shoes as I increased my efforts to get away from him. He ran after me and grabbed my arm.

“What do you want!? ” I snapped and wiggled out of his tight grip,

“Regina I know you're mad at me, I know!” he snatched my arm again.

“But it doesn't shake, you does it?. Cause all you're gonna do is say a few words then I'm gonna fall into your arms and we'd have s*x again like nothing happened, isn't that what you're expecting?!”

“I really didn't mean to hurt you ”

“Again, you really didn't mean to hurt me again? Cause this isn't even the first time or the second.” I looked at the solemn expression on his face, “Look, I'm really not in the mood for this, just let go of me Cole.”

“I can't. ”

“Then why do you keep tossing me around?” I suddenly broke into tears.

He loosened his grip and pulled me into his arms.

“I'm sorry Gina,” he said as he buried his head into my shoulder and hugged me even tighter.

“I should have called you”

“It's so unfair,” I muttered, stuffed between the soft fabric of his shirt.

“Let's get you home,” he took me by the hand and led me to his car.

I rested my head on the window and nodded off. I opened my eyes slightly but enough to find myself being carried in his arms, I wanted to close my eyes and sleep longer but then I realized Cole was going to be in my place for the first time, I remembered the pile of clothes on my bed and on the ground, I'd left for work in a hurry and forgot to clear out the mess. He reach the door and carefully put me down.

“Thank you for bringing me home,” I smiled, I made every effort to remind myself that I was supposed to be angry, I needed to be angry but I'd forgotten all about my angry as he finally apologized and took me in his arm, on top of that he brought me home and carried me in.

“Will you invite me in?”

“I … well … I” I tried to cook up a lie but couldn't think of anything. I unlocked the door and I prayed he wouldn't notice the half eaten bowl of careal on the living room table.

I rushed in before him, dropping my shoes by the door, I picked up the bowl as he lowered himself to the chair, he watched me rush into the kitchen and he chuckled.

“You're place is place is lovely Regina.”

“Thank you, well most of the time it's a lot cleaner,” I replied, dropping the bowl into the kitchen sink. I rushed back to the living room and picked up my jacket on the way to my room.

“Make yourself comfortable!”

I quickly took a shower and hurried back out in my comfortable clothes, A giant pink Tshirt I stole from Vivian and I didn't even like pink but it was the only shirt she had that didn't have a weird picture or an offensive write up on it. Iright after tidying up my room.

Cole was still seated on the couch but he seemed to be preoccupied with something, I walked to him stealthy and stood behind the chair,

I leaned in and whispered,

“What are you looking at?”

He jolted up and quickly turned to me, “You startled me,” he laughed, I noticed he was looking at a photograph, it was from our highschool graduation, Vivian, Sharon, morgan and I.

“Can you spot me in picture?” I smiled and hastily sat next to him.

“Did I mention I have a really good memory?”

“Really? Then this won't be an issue for you,” I laughed and moved closer to him.

“Well I'm certain I've seen this face before,” he pointed to Sharon, Her blond hair, big forehead, cat like eyes and pouty lips were unmissable.

“She has really strong features.” he turned to me and suddenly flicked his finger as though he had recalled something important.

“This is the lady I saw In front of your house the day I came to pick you up, the one with the little dog,”

“Yes you're right, her name's Sharon,” I replied,

“You know, she was actually standing in front of your place the entire time,”

“Really, what was she doing?”

Perhaps she was casting an evil spell, I wondered.

“She was just pacing around till you came out, ” he turned back to the picture. I couldn't quite wrap my quite wrap my head around what he said, I remembered that day clearly, Sharon didn't say a word to me besides flaunting a malicious gaze. Why did she wait outside? And what could she have possibly said to me?

“This definitely isn't you, ” Cole pointed to Morgan.

“And why's that?”

“The boobs are way bigger,” he laughed,

“Gosh!” I exclaimed as I nudged him by the shoulder.

“I've also seen this face before,” he pointed to Vivian,

“Is that so?”

“Yea, she's an artist,”

“How did you know that?” I jump up in shock, “Well I know someone who loves her art, I'm a big fan myself,”

“Vivain doesn't use her glasses anymore, so how'd you recognize her? ”

“I told you I have a good memory,” he smiled proudly,

“ Now this is a beautiful face I've definitely seen before!” he finally pointed pointed at me m.

“Really? And where's that?”

“Right here,” he said and pulled me into a long passionate kiss, his lips were easy on mine, he adjusted me on his lap and continued to kiss me, his breaths were heavy with hunger. Only then had I realized just how content I felt in his arms, I'd been thinking about him more than I needed to and eventually I unconscious made him a necessary habit just as necessary as drinking water or eating.

He placed both hands on my thighs and caressed them in an aggressive manner, as though he'd been aching for me for a long time and nearly ripped the clothes off of my body. He slid his hands into my shirt, I could feel his c**k hardening underneath me, it aroused me even more and sent tingles traveling through my spine, I slowly brushed my hands over his shoulders and wrapped them around his neck. He continued to stroke my thighs with his hands, as he kissed me, he moved his hands to me ass and squeezed them, pushing my hips back and forth, causing my p*ssy to rub against his bulge. I shivered at the sensation of his hard c**k between my legs, I could feel the pulsation with every grind.

“Can you please be gentle,” I uttered, releasing my lips from his.

“Sorry, I've just really missed you,”

He said and took his lips to my neck, which he kissed and sucked gently,

“Why do you taste so sweet? ” he groaned, I closed my eyes and could feel myself transcending in the pleasure of his whispers in my ears, he had to be mine but why would I own him.,

but before he could go any further, his phone rang.

He groaned as he took his lips from my neck and picked up the phone,

“Hey!” he said in an unexpectedly giddy tone.

“I'll be there soon, just give me five minutes. I can tell you're already mad at me.”

“Who's that? ” I asked moving closer, he immediately covered my mouth with his hand,

“I'll see you soon.” he hung up and took his hand from my mouth. He paused as he stared at me, my hair, eyes and lips. He placed his thumb on it and brushed his finger gently on my lips, I could tell he didn't want to leave just yet.

“You know, you can spend the night, I would like that ”

“I'm sorry Gina I have something urgent I need to attend to,” he said as he moved me off his lap and stood quickly.

“Who was that? And where are you going? ” I asked.

“I'll explain everything later,” he took his jacket and keys and headed for the door. He turned around and gave me a kiss on the forehead before rushing out the door.

“Are you kidding me!” I yelled angrily, kicking at the air.
