Taming The Mayor!

Two Years Ago!

Third Person P.O.V

Two years ago.....

She stood still gawking over at the photograph that her friend Hugh took of hers for a college project an year ago and now he exhibited in his auction.

She wore a short bodied printed dress with a backless strap embodied design. The dress was sent to her by her friend along with an invite to join him for the auction where he'll be displaying her picture.

"I knew you would come.", Hugh chanted with excitement as he clapped his hands together looking over at the model of his photograph.

"And I didn't know you would put this up for...", She stated back sarcastically looking over at the auction price, "Twenty seven thousand dollars.", She stated back with a sarcastic hit.

"Oh honey... I had to put up a price though.", He rolled his eyes in his particular drag queen manner.

He lifted his arm and wrapped around his friend's shoulders. He started walking her down towards the function hall where the auction was going to take place.

"You told me you'll never show these pictures to anyone. Like ever!", She complained walking with him holding down her glass of orange juice in her hands.

"I didn't show anyone.", He stated definitely lying making her give him a c****d eyebrow.

"I really needed to put my best work out here and I actually ran out of pictures and trust me that picture was definitely the best of all.", He stated defending himself back.

"And cheapest of all your collection.", She said with a scoff.

"Come on now! A picture of a sunset at Bora bora is definitely way more important than sun shining on you in a mustard field and focusing more on your boobs. Besides it's for charity.", He added as the two finally entered inside the hall.

She let out a weak whine, "I told you that dress made my boobs look bigger and you promised not to show this to anyone!", She cried out and the two laughed at the mere thought of the picture that hung down at the exhibit.

The picture of was being taken down to be displayed in the function hall for the auction.

Through the reflections in the glass of the frame could be seen a young handsome man. He exhibited power and influence with his strength and stature. He stood wearing a grey suit, with his blonde hair puffed and sleeked. No woman in the room left without eyeing him for at least once. His features didn't only unveiled handsomeness but rather pure beauty and attraction.

"Sir, would you like to join us in the function hall? The auction will take place in there.", His stance was broken by the voice of a young woman who wore a black shot dress which unified her as one of the volunteers for the auction.

She was beautiful and young, she stood batting her eyelashes and blushing in front of him, that would make her an easy target but he rather had his eyes set on another prey already.

The girl in the photograph that he saw leaving in front of him holding another guy's hand. He knew who exactly she was.

She was Amy Cole!

The girl he once loathed but now he lusted. He couldn't take his eyes off her picture, the way her body shined against the sunlight.

He looked at her going inside and followed her completely ignoring the young girl who stood hanging awkwardly at being stood up.

As Amy reached inside the room Hugh stopped her pace.

"You have to meet Nicholas.", He announced in a proud manner.

"He's your new boyfriend?", Amy asked stating the obvious at how Hugh has been himself a player and heartbreaker among men. More than Amy would be.

"No... Well he's delicious but not gay. Well sad for him.", He stated making Amy chuckle. "I'll fetch him for you.", He announced leaving Amy behind.

She searched for a suitable table to sit on and roamed her eyes around. She felt a shadow following her from behind. She moved her eyes and was rather surprised to see no one.

She shrugged her shoulders and went ahead to sit on a corner table that was farthest away from the entire rich crowd who were going to buy all the pictures for charity.

The announcer came up on stage and the lady wearing black dress, stood tall and beautiful and announced each picture as it was displayed.

Hugh finally came back in to sit right next to Amy bringing along Nicholas.

Amy looked up at him and was rather amazed to see a tall brunette, with sharp and dark features as he stood fitted into his black suit.

He himself was rather taken aback at the beauty he saw right in front of him. He was a definite player and his eyes galloped down the curves of her hips and breast.

"Nicholas, meet Amy! Amy, meet Nicholas.", High announced initiating an introduction between the two. "He owns the agency I work in."

Amy put forth her hand for shaking but Nicholas being the player he was took in and pecked it lightly making Amy blush.

She was rather taken aback but she maintained her posture. She wasn't the one to fall for someone that easily.

"A girl that blushes.", Nicholas tried teasing her but she maintained her posture.

Nicholas and Hugh took their seats right around Amy as they sat with their faces towards the stage. Nicholas grabbed his seat right next to Amy so he kept looking at her through the corner of his eyes.

She's smooth!, He thought as he looked down her breasts.

She noticed that Nicholas was eyeing her through his intent gaze and felt uncomfortable but she also knew it was matter of time until this was over.

She looked up at Hugh, "He's rich and oh my God!", He silently mouthed her making a gesture for blow job making Amy blush and feel hot as she felt Nicholas's gaze.

Soon the announcer announced the next picture and Amy looked ahead and saw her picture being displayed.

"What? Hugh, you displayed this? I told you not to.", Nicholas butted in scolding his employee Hugh.

Amy felt the entire thing to be a bit of played.

If Hugh did work for his agency than he'd know which one were being displayed.

Amy thought to herself and thought about playing it smart like she always did. Because she knew that Hugh tried setting her up with many of his colleagues and college friends that he wanted to get a deal with. Be it if he even tried setting her up once with one of his professors. But Amy was always the one to forgive him no matter how dirty he played.

"The biding begins at Twenty Seven Thousands.", The female standing on the stage announced.

"Thirty thousand dollars.", Someone from the crowd spoke making Amy rather feel astonished.

"Oh well.... Someone did increased the bid at that.", She spoke chuckling along with Hugh.

"Fifty thousand dollars", Nicholas spoke taking Amy by surprise.

"Can't let this one go.", He spoke huskily leaning down her ear as she felt a chill of coldness run down her blood system.

She looked up to Hugh and he had his famous spoiled smirk down his face notifying Amy that it was his entire set up.

"A hundred thousand dollars.", Another announcement made Amy do spit take of her drink to one side as she looked at a person sitting in one of the geek rows as he rose his hands.

"Jeez Amy!", Hugh spoke looking at her friend's indolence spit take.

"Five hundred thousand dollars.", Nicholas spoke trying to get Amy's attention and he definitely did achieve that as Amy looked at him with wide eyes.

"How badly I wished this wasn't for charity.", Hugh's scrimped impiousness spoke.

"Two million dollars.", The final bid spoke as a gush of whispers and murmurs broke throughout the entire crowd.

The bid closed down at two million dollars. No one dared to bid too high for that one photograph of a simple girl standing in the mustard fields. Rather people were amazed at the fact that it was the highest bid of the night.

"And the field light", is sold to... Mr. Eric Paige.",, The female announcer's words dropped a huge bomb down Amy's heart.

She was very well familiar with that name.

The man in the geek row turned his face and there, Amy's entire bodily system came to a non functioning state as her eyes interlocked with the guy she once found irritating, annoying and unhealthy to have around. Her ex boyfriend's rival.

She thought of him a swimming prodigy but now he sat down as a well established business person, a name to look for, gawking her through a handsome smirk exhibiting power.

The heaviness inside Amy's chest grew bigger as she came face to face with someone from her town that she ran away from years ago.

She diverted her gaze and looked back only to see Eric still gawking her.

"Excuse me.", She stated getting up from her seat and making her way out from the hall.

She reached her car and sat down in peace.

Her heart felt heavy and her chest felt suffocated.

She never expected or perhaps even wanted anyone from her past to ghost her present and effect her future. She'd worked really hard to stand where she did and now seeing someone from her long lost unchaseable past felt like a punishment to her.

Why can't I just live and forget everything? Why does everything has to punish me all over again.

She thought to herself as she grabbed the steering wheel to her car and ignited it making her way out and away from the exhibition hall that she regretted every moment for the rest of the night going to.

**********************

Amy heaved a sigh and gave herself one final look in front of the mirror. She checked off her white sleeveless blouse followed by a pair of black pencil skirt that ended right above her knees.

A smile of satisfaction crept on her face.

She was going to meet some investor for her new French Restaurant that she was longing to open for a long now.

It was like a wonder dream to her. She was looking for investors for a long time now and she finally got hold of Rodgers Penn.

He was an influential business person of Miami whom Amy met when she discovered that her uncle owed him. She not only just relentlessly dued off his debts but also maintained good terms with Rodgers who helped her a lot in expanding her business. He had links with the mafia and he knew how to settle everything down.

He was more like a fatherly figure to her. He supported, protected and acted secured for her.

Rodgers called her this morning telling that he had finally found an investor for her restaurant.

She came back to her office and sat on her chair trying to think of ways and postures which will make her look more professional.

Rodgers told her that the investor was a very influential person and he alone was going to invest in her restaurant and if the meeting went good for the two it might as well end up with him investing in her hotel project that she has ever dreamed of building.

She got up from her seat to stack up all the files on the table and place them down on another table.

As she stacked all the files and moved one of the files fell down. She placed down the files on the corner cabinet and bent down to pick the file, collecting papers inside it.

The door to her office knocked as she yelled come in, thinking it might me someone from her office but she rather froze when she heard a male voice clearing their throat making her turn and rendering her dysfunctional at the sight of Eric again.

He was disappointed the night before when Amy left the hall without even seeing him. It infuriated him that he had spent two millions on buying her picture, only hoping to impress her and take her to his home where he'd already imagined on positions and the way he'll f**k her, holding down her sleekly curves.

But when she left he wasn't only infuriated but also curious. No girl ever had the audacity to reject him which made him realise that he never could have Amy in his arms. Which made her a challenge for him.

He set out his intel to find out everything about her and within hours her entire history and current situation was showcased in front of him.

He was a man of power and connections and he found his connections through Rodgers Penn as he approached him proposing he would like to invest in a restaurant and was looking for businesses. He knew the nerve he'd stepped on was a sensitive one but he also knew exactly how to play mind games.

He was pro at it. He wasn't just a former athletic person physically but he played with people's minds everyday.

He was finally able to hold a meeting with her again in less than twenty four hours and it made him feel proud of himself. He smiled inwardly as he made his way in his Mercedes towards her office.

Just another few more hours and I'll have you on your knees with my c**k inside your mouth.

Eric laughed nastily at his satanic thoughts. Amy was a definite f**k for him and he would have her at any cost. His lustful thought traced back to her body making him want her.

His chauffeur stopped right in front of the tower and he made his way inside the building.

He went directly towards her office and stopped as he saw her secretary sitting out at her table outside her room.

She gawked his handsomeness and couldn't believe the luck of her boss plus best friend. She giggled in her mind already thinking about the things they might possibly get down with this business deal

"I'm Eric Paige, I came here for the investment deal, with Ms. Cole.", He announced through his thick sleek mannered accent.

He knew the temperament to present to any woman that would drive them all crazy over him.

"She's expecting you already.", She said with a sweet smile definitely intoxicated by his charms.

He directly made his way inside knocking on the door.

Once he entered inside he met the heavenly sight of a bent down Amy, as she picked up some scattered files.

He didn't move or notified her about his presence but instead let himself enjoy the view of her butt and felt himself getting hard as the bulge inside his pants grew them tight.

Once she got up he cleared his throat making her turn around.

She froze at the mere sight of Eric standing tall gawking him with a smirk on his face.

"Ms. Cole? I'm Eric Paige. Mr. Penn must have informed you about me.", He said extending his hand towards her, giving out a handsome smile.

She still couldn't believe at what she was looking at. She looked down at his hand and realised that he had been posing on for that too long for now.

She rather felt tinged.

A heaviness grew inside her chest. The image from Eric buying her portrait for two millions flash backed right in front of her eyes.

She felt piqued at looking at Eric standing in front of her.

First the picture at the auction, now suddenly he wants to invest in my idea. Why does my life hate me?

Amy thoughtfully took in his hand and shook it.

"Please have a seat.", She decided to play coy and go with the flow.

The two right across the table, opposite to one another.

"Well... This restaurant has been a crucial project for me and my entire team for the past year now...", Amy began with the presentation regarding to her idea.

As she professionally presented everything not even caring for once to talk about anything personal with Eric which he thought might be something that would come up. Eric calculated everything inside his mind realising that she wasn't an easy one.

She wasn't only running from him but she definitely was hard to get. She wasn't going to come to him that easily but he had to struggle hard to get her and he wasn't even planning on backing off at any cost.

After Amy was done with her presentation in which half of the time Eric kept staring at her breasts and curves and thinking about ways to get inside her pants, Amy decided to ask Eric's opinion in terms of the deal.

"Well... I don't see any problems but I'll still like to hold a meeting between my fiance team and yours.", He said sternly in his professional manner yet maintaining his gentleman stance.

Amy rather felt relieved thinking that the entire situation was in fact purely professional.

"Of course.", She smiled at Eric's words.

"Well... Then I'll ask my assistant to get in touch with yours and we'll see what we could further do.", He threw back a smile that would make any girl's panties twist but it was Amy that stood still unaffected.

As soon as he left the office, passing down a sweet geek smile to Hazel, she immediately made her way inside.

"Well...?", She c****d her eyebrows excitedly wishing that her prude best friend might finally have a chance at scoring.

Amy heaved a sigh knowing that she has to tell everything to her best friend.

"I already know him. But I didn't know what he's like now!", She finally confessed to her best friend.

"What do you mean?", She asked confused as she took her seat.

"I... I knew him since high school. It's... It's a long story.", She told her and began telling her the entire story of Eric's involvement in her past.

"Well... Your town is one hell of a complicated place.", Hazel chuckled mocking Amy.

She rolled her eyes at Hazel's words. "Yeah! Like I didn't know.", She laughed along Hazel.

"But how come he ended up in business? Wasn't he supposed to be a swimmer?", Hazel asked.

"I have no idea.", Amy heaved a sigh being naive from everything that had happened along in the long term of the time she went missing on the map of Cherwood.

On the other hand Eric stood in his study where he had now placed the portrait of the girl he wanted with all his might in front of him stripped in his bed, moaning his name, asking for more.

It was a challenge for him and he liked challenges, he felt pleasure in pushing himself for the unachievable.

Her body was the forbidden fruit and he was the rebellion who would give up heavens and cross hells for her.

He planned an evil play and knew how to manipulate his game for the win.
