Cookie pov....
No no no, I can't do this again.
I know he was too good and I wanted the s*x badly, but the was married and the thought of his wife going through a heartbreak cause of me wasn't something I needed.
"I just can't continue" I said, and I could see how disappointed he was he really needed me but he has a wife at home.
I picked up my clothes and went to my room looking the door behind me, I quickly went under my bed to get my vibrator, well he had hit the right spots and I couldn't just go to bed like that I needed to satisfy my ...
I didn't know what to make of my feelings and thoughts, I knew if this went on I would be hurt again, but I Couldn't turn away and I'm sure Kol knew that, and something about him promised danger if I tried to turn away.
Yesterday night he commanded and I melted to his touch, my mind wasva haze, I couldn't think clearly at all.
Every part of my body became putty to him and I hated it.
I knew if I kept thinking about it I would only succeed in getting myself a headache so I shoved my thoughts aside and got ready for work.
I got ready for the day, pulling on a black sweater on top of my clothes to avoid the wind. Locking my apartment I grimaced yet again, ducking the obvious coffee mug that had been throw from my neighborsbdoor, they were fighting as always.
I was starting to believe one of them intentionally began the fight so as to have makeup s*x, there is nothing better than a good w***e pounding.
I walked swiftly to the lift, I tapped on the floor impatiently waiting for it to open. When it did I hurried to getboutside and haila cab, so I clutched my bag tightly and walked faster.
I found my cab and I was off to work,bsomething about the day had me feeling like something would happen that would put me in either a bad mood or great one, depending on who exactly the person I encountered was.
I hastily walked into the building nodding and waving at the people I knew from the other departments, I knew I needed to socialize more but when you have too many friends it tends to invite a lot of drama.
That's why I had only a few friends, one I hadn't talked to in a while. The lift opened to reveal Kol Tempest standing in front of me. He winked at me with a mischievous smile, I didn't know if it was just bad luck him being there or anything else.
Since the Fashion department was favorite to the old CEO he had given Murdock, Shawn, Hilda and I key cards to access the private elevator.
I wanted to avoid Kol, I had hopednthe last time I would see him in a while was this morning but it was impossible since he was my boss.
"Morning boss." I greeted politely and he smirked. Reaching out to touch my hand I moved so that he couldn't.
"Why did you move Cookie ?" He asked in annoyance.
"I can't do this okay, I can't we have to stop, I don't want to cause unnecessary drama, you're my boss and I'm your employee, it's a dynamic that can't work. Not forgetting you're married." I stated calmly and he groaned.
He grabbed my arm successfully and I winced when his hold was a little too tight, I squirmed trying to pry it off but I lost.
"Kol you're hurting me stop." I pleaded but it was unheard. The elevator was stopped midway, I couldn't escape.
"Kol what's going on with you?" I asked perplexed by his behavior. He forcefully slams be to the wall and I wince when my back hits the rail.
"Kol." I whispered. "If I hear you utter another word to say what you just tried to say, I won't take it well Cookie , remember this from now on, unless you want me to show how much power I have over you now, try reject me or us again." I was terrified, this was another side of Kol I didn't know .
I could see the anger burning in his eyes, was he furious because I tried to tell him I didn't want him anymore, I had to do it, I couldn't sleep with him knowing he had a wife.
But I knew better, it wasn't the time to provoke him further since his hand was dangerously around my throat. "Am I understood?" I nodded frantically wanting to be released.
"Good." I could still see his rage and also the change when he spoke and placed a kiss on my lips. My body reacted to him and I kissed back, I wanted to hate him so badly for what he had just done but I couldn't.
I melted in his arms, he clicked the button again and the elevator started working again. "See you in my office at lunch." He whispered making me blushing and the lift door opened on my floor.
I walked out my face flushed, none noticed my state but I knew Murdock had and he was going to ask me about it and hell I couldn't lie about it.
What was I going to do, Kol obviously had issues and I couldn't pinpoint what they were, we had known each other for less than a few days and my life was changing drastically.
He was commanding, scary and temptation at the same time, I liked him holding me like that yet a part of me at one point would've cringed at the thought, I wanted him to be possessive with me but one thing was for sure.
Kol wasn't Hannah Montana he couldn't get the best of both worlds and I would remind him of that, yet again it complicated my life, was I willing to actually break someone's marriage apart for my own gain.
Could I do it and be happy, I needed to know more about Kol that was for sure, I needed to know why he acted like a savage in the lift when I was about to tell him no to whatever scandal was going on between us.
Wouldn't it make a lot of things bad, wouldn't a lot change, I had no answers for any of the questions I had but I knew soon enough I had to face the fact that I indeed in a very short space of time was falling for Kol.
"Hey you don't seem all that great." I looked up to see Murdock by my design table. "That's because I'm not, I've had a really bad morning." He chuckled and handed me coffee.
"Thanks." He nods to me and began going through designs on my tablet.
I swipe on the screen for him and he notices the bruise on my wrist. I realized it was from earlier. "What happened?" He asked sternly and I sigh. "Nothing important, let's just focus on the design." I try to dissuade him from probing further but I knew it wouldn't work.
"Cookie I definitely know that an accident with anything sharp couldn't cause that bruise and secondly out of the bitches in this building except two, you actually treat me like a normal person, not the slightly chubby black Cuban who is appropriating." I sigh knowing I had to tell him. "Fine I will tell you."
Cookie pov...
"So talk, what happened?" We were in the storage room yet again avoiding my other friends. Knowing Murdock he would probably want every detail of what happened last night so I had no option but to sit down and narrate.
"When I got homne, making dinner and stuff Mark came to my apartment, he's had someone follow me after the breakup and found out where I live and yesterday he finally found me." Murdock gasps.
"Wait no way, like thee Mark, CEO of EXFO Corp, married with kids and swine Mark." I nod. "Damn you're in deep s**t, like how did he even find you, you moved halfway across the city." I had indeed done that but he found me.
"I don't know and I'm sure his private investigator is a good one to have found me, Doc Im a little scared of him right now, he's not the same man I knew back then he's changed, I think his obsession has gotten to the bad his obsession has gotten to the bad levels." We both sigh knowing Mark had issues.
"How will you handle him, you can't keep running, and remember his wife who threatened you to stay away from him." I sigh knowing the crazy lengths his wife could go to.
"I wonder why I was the one to get threatened, they're the ones who vowed to be loyal and commit to each other, I didn't even know Mark was married when I dated him, it's so stressful." Murdock hugs me and successfully calms me down.
"Yeah I know that, but you know how people are it's always the mistress, I wish it wasn't like that, better start digging around for that good pair of Jimmy choos because you're about to get in a whole lot of drams." I knew that but I wanted to avoid it.
"b***h you aren't helping, what do I do with Mark, he's obviously going to come back, if I try getting a restraining order that will spark a lot of atterntion for both us." He nods and shrugs.
"But what choice do you have Cookie , if you don't he's going to keep coming back, you're both public figures but that won't stop Mark from doing what he wants if he's gotten worse." Murdock was right.
I knew Mark had obsession issues and possessive tendencies, it's one of the reasonsI broke up with him, he didn't take it well when I told him we were done.
And obviously, in his head the done was only for a limited amount of time before he came hunting for me again, I had no choice but to get a restraining order on him, big popular CEO or not.
"I guess I will file for the restraining order against Mark, it's better than getting him arrested he still has a family, and you know how I feel about child abandonment." Murdock slightly nods as he sips his coffee.
"Yeah that's the best route because I don't see him backing off any other way, I'm so sorry this is happening to you." I chuckle lowly knowing it was bound to happen.
"What's the other issue that's got you wound up?" This was yet again about another man with possession issues. "Kol." I blurted out.
"You slept with him, again?!" He raises both his hands making me flinch.
"No,but he came over drunk last night, I couldn't let him go home drunk so I decided to let him stay, we ended up almost having s*x, but I was able to control myself ." Murdock rolls his eyes.
"Cookie you very well know he's married and what you have won't last, yet you're sleeping with him still." I knew it was wrong but as much as I tried I couldn't pull away from Kol.
"I know Murdock, but he makes me feel different, he's not like Mark or any other guy I've been with, being around him is fun, God I'm pathetic." I sigh palming my face.
"No you're not, you're just stupid, and in need of love." I glare at him.
"I'm not sorry." I smack his arms and finish my coffee. "What happened after because s*x doesn't make people miserable." He was right and s*x with Kol put me in subspace.
