The Alluring Billionaire's Obsession

chapter1.8

After that, he turned his back towards the living room and I watched him go happily, so he'd noticed me. I wasn't crazy he'd noticed me all this time. This routine wasn't one-sided. The room was really spacious, all in white. A large four-poster bed sat in the middle of the room. Right in front of me there was a bay window. I rushed in, so I could see the view. It was magnificent. I wonder how high up we were. I could see the city from above. I wanted to look at the city even longer. The lights were still on at that hour. Didn't people sleep in this city of lights? In my neighborhood at this time, there's not a single light bulb left on. It's very dark and the lampposts that the town hall installed when the current mayor was campaigning in the last elections have been stripped of their bulbs by supposed activists who thought that the road couldn't be lit when their homes weren't. It was a case of survival of the fittest and no one had found anything to say about their flawed logic. I headed for the white door to the right of the bed and there I found the bathroom. It was cleaner than I was. I was even afraid of getting it dirty if I went in, but my need to feel clean was pressing, so I went in. If I had a bathroom like that in my house, I think I'd spend my life there. The floor was gray, there were two mirrors on the wall above two white bathroom sinks with silver taps. Just below them, I saw white and blue towels on an all-white shelf with four drawers. To my left was the bidet, also white, above which was a gray picture depicting a strange shape that I didn't understand. Just next to it was a urinal. In the right-hand corner I saw three flights of stairs and as I got closer I saw the bathtub and a glass cubicle topped by two steps where I'd probably take a shower. There were shelves on both sides with different products. I had no idea what they were for. The bathtub was already filling up with water when I put my hand in. The temperature was perfect. I got undressed and got into the bath, and thanks to the instructions for the products on the shelf, I knew what to put in the bath. It formed little bubbles as if the water was boiling, but the temperature was perfect. I let myself be rocked by the bubbles and the gentle temperature of the water. I admired the city through the bay window of the shower. I couldn't have imagined that my day was going to end like this, given the way it had started.

I felt like I was on a cloud, it was cozy, even fluffy. When I opened my eyes gradually, for a second I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. The immaculate white surrounding me plus the cloud I was lying in was a far cry from the view I was used to in the morning. As I looked down at my body, I realized that I was wearing a bathrobe. How have I changed? Has he seen me naked? Good heavens! I hadn't waxed my pubis for at least a century. It must be a forest down there and even then, it's an understatement to say the least, my bland body must have disgusted him. I'd lost all my chances before I'd even tried, or worse, if it was the gentleman on duty who'd got me into bed... no, he didn't go upstairs... It's official, I've lost all my chances with Apollon. How am I going to put up with his presence now that I've disgusted him, or I won't even have to, because he's going to chase me out of his house like a little dog or rather a little b***h, given that I'm a girl? The wheels of my brain were turning, and I was thinking about how to get out of the most embarrassing situation of my entire life so that I could go back to my pitiful existence. It was a nice break from my routine. Speaking of routine, the sun shining outside didn't look like the eight o'clock sun; oh my God! What time is it? Where's my green suit? If he threw it away, I'd be buried alive by the Prince. I rushed out of the room, taking the same route as yesterday. Once in the living room, I heard voices, but I didn't have time to think, so I started talking, in a great hurry to get to work.

-Where's my green suit? I need it, and I'm late for my secretarial shift, plus my green suit. If I've lost it, Prince will seize the opportunity, and it'll cost me at least a month's wages.

- If I understand correctly, you only work with men. Thank you, Mr Stevens, I'll be in touch again to close the case, and thanks again for the lift.

- Thank you for agreeing to meet me, Mr...

- You're welcome. Have a nice day,’ he cut him off.

I prayed that the ground would open up and swallow me up forever, that I would be wiped off the face of the earth, that my very existence would be completely erased. I realized that I was naked under the bathrobe. I pulled it tighter over me despite the fact that it didn't change much. I was barefoot without a stitch of clothing. My hair was frizzy in the wind, because I'd made my hair natural for yesterday's service, and I'd undone it yesterday so that I could wash it while taking my bath, so it must surely have hardened, and I hadn't even washed my face when I woke up, so I should surely have drool on the corner of my mouth or worse on my face, At this thought I pathetically ran my hand over my cheek to wipe away any drool on my face, what had got into me? I kept my head down until I heard the lift ding and saw a pair of black slippers in front of me. I slowly raised my head, taking the time to admire his beautiful, well-muscled legs. He was wearing gray cotton shorts, his black T-shirt that hid his well-sculpted torso, his broad shoulders, his neck. I didn't know a neck could be so sexy; his woody, musky scent, plus a touch of masculinity and virility. I sniffed in the air to intoxicate myself with the smell, and his lips, which seemed so firm, I imagined what they might taste like, and I fell straight into his eyes, black as the abyss of the night - he was so beautiful even though he seemed so cold. I realized that I was openly staring at him, and who knew?

-Sorry,’ I said, taking a few steps back.

- You don't seem in such a hurry to get to your precious secretariat anymore, you're standing there watching me like a piece of meat.

- If I were to compare you to meat, it certainly wouldn't be a piece of meat," I said without thinking.

- What's said is said. Are you in the habit of walking round strangers' houses naked? He says with an arched concern.

- No, I'm really sorry, it's just that I rushed over here without thinking because I'm really late for work.

- You're well past the deadline, considering it's just past three o'clock.

- I'm sorry? No, no, no, no,’ I say, starting to turn around and look for my phone. “I've got to call Anthony,” I say, heading for the bedroom to search for my phone.

-Come back here.

- Exactly where is my handbag?

- We had an agreement,’ he says, ignoring my question.

- I fell asleep. You could have woken me, so I could give you your damn blowjob, but now I have a life and I have to get back to it if I don't want to starve to death.

- Such a beautiful mouth shouldn't say such obscenities.

-Do you think I have a beautiful mouth? I said dreamily, ‘I'm lost,’ as I patted my cheeks to come to my senses. He smiled imperceptibly and resumed his seriousness.

- We have an agreement, and you have five hundred thousand rands to win.

- Yes, but that money won't do me any good if Anthony fires me. He looked at me without batting an eyelid and I resigned myself. I'd better give him a blow job. If I finished quickly, I'd be in time for the green and I could apologize to Anthony later, and I'd find some excuse, but with this money I could go and have dinner with Apollon several times. All right, let's have that blow job.

- You say it so lightly, are you used to it? Are you a professional? Or have you done it so many times it's become commonplace?

- You can think about what you like. I don't care. Let's get this over with. The look on his face prevented me from finishing my pipe.

- Your behavior is confusing. If you want to do it naked, you'd better take off your dressing gown and not go and get dressed. I hate half-measures.
