Office Affair

Chapter 4: Catfish

His hands are running through my hair, and I'm desperately clutching onto his shirt, keeping his body close. His tongue sweeps through my mouth. A moan escapes my lips as I lose control and Gabriel only holds me tighter. A tiny voice in my mind is trying to tell me this man is my boss.

I don't want to be reasonable. Instead, I match his rhythm and my hands soon wander down his chest and down his shirt. I feel his muscles tense under my touch, and I hear a moan escape from his lips. He mutters my name under his breath.

And as if it were a reminder of where he was and what he was doing, he stepped back. "I'm sorry, I didn't know what came over me. That was inappropriate.

Oh. He thinks our kiss was inappropriate?! "Maybe so, but I liked it."

"That's beside the point. I'm your boss. You're my assistant. This is a solid work relationship only."

"Of course. You're right. This shouldn't have happened."

"No. This NEVER happened. I'm going down to reception and book one of their available rooms for tonight. You can have the suite."

"They don't have a single room free."

"Fine. I'll lock myself in my room. We'll work together as required, but when this case is done, you'll be transferred to another associate." 

"Sorry, what? Won't that reflect badly on me?"

"It won't. They'll just say I'm being difficult again. And that's alright. This was my fault. I compromised our professional relationship. It's best if we try and stay away unless necessary. I'm sorry."

"Okay." I walked past him like it was nothing and went to my closet to change into something sexy. Forget that asshole. I then went down to the bar.

I sit next to a handsome guy sitting near me probably in his mid twenties. I order something to drink and sip on it slowly. The man smiles and moves closer, addressing me in accented English. "You're a tourist?"

"No, just on a business trip."

"Bad night?"

"Is it obvious?"

"Drinking alone is never a good sign. I'm Jacob."

"I'm Jade. So, sitting here alone...you must have a story to tell."

"Oh, I sure do. Do know what catfishing is?"

"Yes."

"Well I've just had a first-hand experience."

"You definitely need to tell me more now."

He laughs, his eyes twinkling. "Alright, but don't judge me."

"Promise, I won't."

"I've been talking to a girl online for the past year. She seemed too good to be true - beautiful, smart, funny. She had an amazing job. She worked for an accounting firm, and they would send her abroad. But that gave her the perfect excuse to meet me. Until tonight, I decided enough was enough and flew here to surprise her. Turns out she wasn't 21. She was 47 and married with 3 kids."

"No kidding?!"

"I wish I was. She told me she's in an unhappy marriage and found it easier to speak to me than him."

"I'm so sorry."

"So was I. So here I am, drowning in sorrows."

"I'm so sorry, that sounds terrible. I can't believe people actually do that."

"I should've seen the red flags but I didn't want to."

"You can't blame yourself."

"It's hard not to."

"I think your bad night tops mine."

"Why?"

"I traveled here with my boss to work on a legal case. We somehow ended up sharing a suite, which was already a disaster for starters. But today I messed up in an important meeting. Then one thing led to another...he kissed me. Then he acted like an asshole so I walked away and said he was transferring me to someone else."

"What a jerk. But I don't blame him for kissing you. You're beautiful. I'd find it hard to keep my hands off you if we shared a suite, too."

"You wouldn't have to since you aren't my boss."

"So tempting. Wanna go to my room?"

"Sure, why not." I followed him to his room and as soon as he closed the door, he kissed me. His lips were soft and luscious. I didn't want him to stop. He carried me to the bed and stripped me of my clothes, followed by him taking all of his clothes off.

"You're hard."

He smirked. "I know." Walking towards me, he got on top of me, pinning my arms above my head and kissed my neck as I stroked him, making him moan.

"f**k, don't stop." I obeyed him and stroked him until he slipped 2 fingers inside me, each touch harder and faster as he watched me the whole time.

"You like it?" I nodded. After that, he slid inside me. "You're so f*****g tight, oh my god." After a couple hours, we both came and as I got dressed, he stopped me. "Where are you from?"

"California."

"I live in Anaheim!"

"I'm in LA."

"Here's my number." He typed his number in my phone. "Call me when you go home so we can go on a date."

I smiled. "I'd like that. Tonight was great, thank you."

He smirked and stood up to plant one last kiss on my neck. "By the way, you have some marks."

I looked down and noticed hickeys around my bra, underneath my bra, down legs and all over my chest. "Good."

I walked out of his room, satisfied and went to the suite. f**k him. He can sleep somewhere else. As soon as I got into the room, he stood with his arms crossed.

"Where in the hell were you?"

"That's your business, why? We don't have a s****l relationship."

"Didn't quite see you as the type for hooking up."

"Oh, please, don't act like you give a fuck."

"Of course I care. You're my assistant and your behavior reflects on me and the firm."

"Really?" I couldn't help but laugh. "Don't use that s**t as an excuse. If you're so worried, fire me. You're already trying to get rid of me."

"Don't tempt me. You're easily the most defiant assistant I've ever had."

I simply shrugged. "Fire me. I don't give a shit."

"No."

"Do it."

"Maybe, maybe not."

I laughed. "Just because you're attracted to me would change that."

He simply scowled at me. "Fine. I am attracted to you. You're exactly my type. You've got a great ass, and when I see you walk in my office, it drives me wild. You're hot when you're mad. Like now. And it makes me want to just..."

Right before I can react, I find myself wrapped in his arms. Two can play at this game Howard, it's on. He presses his lips against mine, and his hand slides lower, feeling me, pressing harder. I inhale sharply as his hand continues to caress me, touching me. His lips captivate mine and then he pulls away and mutters, "Spend the night with me."

"You're not thinking straight. This isn't what you want."

"You're exactly what I want."

He's bullshitting me 100% but just for the hell of it, I'll go with it. Jacob will be with me when I go home. His hungry gaze stares right through me.

"Oh, my God..." Just act the part Jade, you can do this. "You want me just as much as I want you." Although not really. He's sexy but he's just using me. I guarantee he'll ignore me when he go back home like nothing happened, that's what men like him do.

"I do." No you don't.

A whisper is all I can manage. "Okay." Keep your s**t together. I approach him again and wrap my fingers around his muscular upper arms. He clenches his jaw in response to my touch. I can tell he's trying to maintain himself.

"Are you sure?"

"Would you get rid of me if I did?"

"No. But it wouldn't stop me from firing you for being a reckless assistant." Oh, game ON!

"I try my best, but it's hard to think straight around you." 

"Stop thinking for tonight. Let me make this right. Let's put this insane game of lust t bed for good."

"Yes." Keep it together. 

"Just yes?"

I nodded.

"Um ok. Follow me." We walk into my bedroom, kissing again and again, and he takes off his clothes on the way. And then, one step before we reach the bed, I freak out. He'll see my hickeys. f**k that. I don't care.

"Take off your clothes." I slowly take my clothes off, revealing the dark marks on my body. Raising his eyebrows, he said cockily, "I'll do better than him."

I slide my palms across his abs, moving lower until I can touch the bulge in his boxers. Never once do I break eye contact when I get onto my knees, slowly taking him in my mouth.

"f**k Jade, holy shit."

I don't stop until he grabs my chin. "You're done down there." He pulls me and lands us both on the bed. Finding myself on top of him, I plant kisses from his collarbone downwards. He groans as I reach his waistband and tug at it with my teeth.

"You're such a tease. I'll be the boss tonight."

With one small movement, he positions himself over me, the veins bulging in his neck and arms as holds himself above me. I shut my eyes, waiting for a kiss but I feel his warm tongue on my neck instead. I roll my hips towards him, begging for him to take me. But instead he closes his mouth over mine and kisses me hard. I open my mouth and let him claim me, because I can sense he'l, give a lot in return. Our hands roam freely and desperately, wanting to appreciate every inch of each other's body. His muscles are perfectly tones and he is so handsome that touching him is intoxicating. He lowers his head between my breasts, kissing me, teasing me with his tongue left and right then lower down my stomach to my pantie waistline. I run my fingers through his hair, moaning his name softly and while his palm slides across my thighs, I spread my legs wider to offer which he accepts, sliding inside me inch by inch starting off slow until we rush the pace, and the faster we are, the louder we get. The bed frame hits the wall, and he grins in response before continuing the pleasure. Once we both c*m, it's one of the most intense s****l experiences I've ever had (honestly almost tying with Jacob).

That night for the first time since I started working for him, I fall into a deep, restful sleep.

The next day as I'm packing, he keeps out of sight and as I predicted, he didn't care about me emotionally. Thankfully I have Jacob to look forward to. As I wait for Gabriel, I call Jacob.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Jade."

"Hey! I'm leaving today to go home.How about we do that date when you come back?"

"I'd love that."

"Cool. See you soon gorgeous!" I couldn't help but smile at the thought of seeing him again.
