WARNING: MATURED CONTENTS 18+ ONLY

Jessica’s pov.

It has been 2 days since I had had that stupid encounter with that annoying arse. For 2 whole days, I sat starring at the white walls of my house being too stubborn to go and see how the office was been renovated and upgraded. If he wanted to proceed without my consent and knowledge, then he should even finish it without me. No ways I was going to follow his ways like a love sick.

The most annoying and shocking thing about these 2 whole days was the fact that my mother never called me even once, not even to ask for a report like she usually do. I don’t know why, but am still in shock that she didn’t call.

I decided to place a call to my secretary who told me all the workers wee give a break to rest and prepare for the upcoming party without even informing me about it, not is he only making decisions and changing things in my office, but also taking over my affairs in the office like it all now belongs to him. Wow!!

I wanted making a decision not to go for the party, but thought of if and decide to go so it won’t seem like I was been affected by all the actions taken by the arrogant fiancé of mine which I was actually been affected but just don’t want it to be noticed by everyone, so I went for a last minute shopping and body treatment to look my best as it was a once in a blue moon something and not an everyday events for me.

I walked from shop to shop with my sloes complaining. I knew I didn’t have to wear my office shoes, but I was too lazy to go for another pair of comfortable shoes. In all the malls I went, I didn’t find any nice dress. Some were too short while others were too flashy. Finally deciding to check the G&G’s, I entered the store exhausted. I checked all racks one after the other and found none, not until the last rack where my hand stopped on a soft fabric. Pulling it out, all my tiredness vanished as I looked at it. It was a floor length silver dress with an A-line scoop neck. It had a beading sequined bow that tightened at the waist and then flared out. It was soft, sexy and perfect just for me.

After spending a good hour in the bath tub waxing, cleansing, and relaxing, I came out all ready for bed. I had to do all the pampering to my body today because tomorrow was going to be a hectic day. I had to oversee and make sure everything was decorated fine, the food was ready, and the drinks were adequate and the accounts were settled with everyone. I was the person in charge and I had to make sure it was perfect to my mother’s liking.

I decide to read a novel and have a drink before going to bed since it has been such a long time, I read a book. Walking back to my room from the kitchen, my doorbell rang, who could it be at this time of the night, though it was just 9p.m, but I was not expecting anyone except my mother decide to give me another visit for and issue arising or Ms. Williams, asking for her dog.

Opening the door with those two thoughts, I looked for the sly dog in the lounge room,

He’s not here, I said sighing in relief before I turned to look at Mr. Alex, what was he doing here and again by this time of the night?

Who’s not here? An angry Alex asked as his serious golden eyes raked over my whole body before he self-invited himself. He strode closer to me, the whole time not losing eye contact with me. He stopped inches apart from me before he pulled the towel from my hair and as my wet hair tumbled down, did I finally realize what I was dressed in, a white bathrobe only.

Feeling shy because of my dressing, I looked down as his chest covered the inches which separated us. Gasping and looking back at his now catastrophic eyes which darkened further, I could only stutter as I was so close to him. His arm wrapped protectively around me and held my head right in line with his as he asked once again in a dangerous tone, who’s not here Jessica?

His perfect red lips moved slowly as he spoke, making my ears deaf to his voice. His lips were enchanting me in a spell, holding me captive in its gasp, he spoke again but I didn’t reply, I couldn’t. I was too lost in my thought wondering od not whether he applied lipstick. Some mem did apply I’m sure he didn’t.

I was watching his lips intently until he pulled me closer to him, if that was even possible, and then his lips disappeared from my view, I was disappointed until I felt them tease the shell of my ear.

Jess! He whispered huskily making warmth travel down the lanes of my body to my core. What is he doing to me?

Who? He rasped in that deep voice of his. Now, his tongue was licking my ear and instead of being grossed out, I was enjoying the warmth of his mouth.

I gasped as he moved his lips down to my throat, the dog, I whispered in a low voice. I found such difficulty in uttering these two words.

His lips travelled just a little down until they settled on my sweet spot below my ear. He hummed as he bit, sucked and kissed that area making me moan.

His hand that was holding my head ventured into my wet locks, massaging my sculpt gently while the other settled on my waist. His index rubbing small lazy circles. I moaned louder and I arched my neck as his lips now moved down the length neck, stopping at my jugular, kissing and sucking it.

He moved back to my ear as he whispered huskily, can I kiss you Miss Wilson? He asked like a gentle man and his fresh breath tickled my ear even if I knew he was far from being a gentle man, especially with the way he as teasing my ear, biting and sucking my lobe.

Taking by all the actions going on, I moaned and he asked again making me say a yes with a sexy moan and that was all he needed to hear before his lips crashed down on mine slowly with a slight smile. I closed my eyes enjoying the foreign feeling spreading through my body when the kiss turned to hot and passionate. Instead of now a slow movement of his lip, he moved them fast, hard almost punishing me and all I could do was moan in his mouth. The hand that was on my waist moved down to one of my thighs and lifted it to his waist and he pinched my ass cheek making me gasp and skillfully entering his tongue into my mouth. Our tongues were doing a tango together, moving in fast sync and he was exploring every corner of my mouth.

This was insanity and I was surely going to die. My lungs were constricting but this man was making me hopeless. I raised my hand to his soft brown hair and pulled them roughly to tell him to let go, but the man growled and kissed me harder. He was just too addictive.

He finally let me breath but just for a second as he turned his attention back to my neck. He kissed the same spot below my neck before pulling apart. Still intoxicated with his kiss, I realized how weak my knees were. I lowered my left leg from his waist and moved away from him turning around and showing him my back. What had I done? I just made out with the arrogant arse, O my God!

I stiffened as he took a step closer while still showing him my back before he stopped, I bought you a present he said. I’ll pick you up at 7, be ready he said with a little slight of anger I could sense from his voice before walked out of the house and slammed the door shut, leaving me in awe.

The whole night I couldn’t sleep as I kept tossing and rolling on my bed thinking of all that happened, making me wake up late this morning with a slight headache, having a burning sensation on my lips from last night kiss.

I had dark bags under my eyes, making me look paler and since I went to sleep with my wet hair, they were all fizzy and not ready to set. I tried combing the hair to the best I could and left the house without any breakfast. It was already late and I had many things to handle before the day runs out.

After running to and fro, the venue and sweating my arse out looking for one thing or the other to make things in order and complete, my headache increased making me look all stressed out more than I should, which made me happy that the next day was going to be a Sunday which I will have all to myself after all this is done.

I stood and watched the hall room making sure it is all perfect before I went round tasting all the desert, I am a desert person, so I would not have any problem with that in my system.

When I was done, and satisfied with everything, I grabbed my purse and walked out of the hall, leaving me with only 4 hours to rest and get ready for the event and I didn’t want to look awful.

I quickly rushed home and went for quick shower to get rid of all the sweat and lessen the stress. I walked out of my room to notice the brown bag which Alex gave me on the side table. I still hadn’t opened it yet, I was contemplating ehst was going to be in there. Knowing Alex, he’d even put a fake snake in there and scare the shout out of me.

Pulling myself out of my fears, I decide to have a peak and see what is inside the bag, so I went for it and opened the bag. Inside the bag was a white box which I took out and opened, waiting to be disappoint. Lifting the cover, I put it on my bed and held the box properly to see the most unexpected thing, there occupying most of the box was a silky red dress.

I took it out to have a better look at it, it was an elegant long floor length dress with one shoulder and ruffles. I lifted it to my chest and noticed a slit the went all the way to the top of my thigh and the back of the dress having a diamond shape cut on it. The dress was so soft and it screamed seductress. It was just wow, but I couldn’t wear it, it was just too revealing my liking.

Keeping it back in its box, I left it aside as I wore a black strapless bra and my underwear. I sat on my dresser as I did my hair in an elegant updo with a braid on the side of my head. I dressed up afterwards in the silver dress which I bought yesterday. The softness of my silver dress was nothing compared to the red dress but I just couldn’t get myself to wear a revealing. The silver dress pooled by my ankles and I wore my red strap heel and a thin silver wristwatch which resembled a bracelet, and I was ready to go.

It was just a few minutes to seven as I waited for the family driver to come pick me up, I decided to eat few grapes to fill my empty stomach. Just as I put one grape in my mouth, the doorbell rand. The driver is early today. Reluctantly, I left the green juicy grapes in the fridge and took my clutch and headed to the door, but who I didn’t expect was Alex. A very good looking, panty dropping Alex to be standing there dressed in a tailored Armani black suit from top to bottom, well-polished, expensive shoes and a red handkerchief the only color on his body. What is he doing here?

He squeezed his face in dissatisfaction immediately he saw me and asked angrily why I didn’t wear the dress he bought for me, without even a hi to begin with. I was confused and even thought of what dress he was talking about, that was when the memory of what happened the night before flooded back into my brain. I was so immersed in all the arrangements that I forgot about the whole thing, the going with him to the party and also the sweet unholy kiss that was a mistake and shouldn’t repeat itself.

Not wanting to give him any explanation of my actions, looking at him I just shrugged and said the dress was a big size. I didn’t invite him in a s I just walked out and locked my door. If he wanted to be rude to me, I wasn’t going to say anything. As I turned around to head to the car, Alex still stood on the same spot as he was before. I raised and eyebrow at him and he narrowed his eyes at me. What a game of facial expression.

He moved closer to me until my back hit the closed door. He lifted his hands to my head caging me in. he was such a giant that I had lifted my head to look at him and felt his short breath on my face. He moved much closer to me and I held my breath. What is he trying to do to me again?

He moved his lips to me ear and whispered dangerously low, that’s impossible, hi lips moved slowly teasing my ear, making me shudder, I know you are a 34 and that’s the dress size. Think of a better excuse next time he said as he moved away from me and turned to his car. My eyes widened a fraction, how the hell did he know I was a 34.

Coming back to my senses no time, I moved from the door and walked behind him. Deep in thought of how he knew my bra size I didn’t realize when I reached his sleek midnight black car. He stood like a model by the passenger side holding the door open waiting for me patiently, what a nice pose for the camera.

I looked at him as his eyes trailed down my body once again lingering on my rising and falling chest, and I couldn’t help but wonder what exactly his thoughts were.
