I trudge into the office, glaring at any and every body that dared to look sideways at me. Even my best friend, Valerie, stayed clear of me for the first part of the morning. Finally, at about 11:00, she came up to me.
“ Safe to talk to you, Kim? You have been shooting daggers at everyone, since you got here,” she said.
“ I'm sorry. It's been a shitty day, so far, and I have to stay late to work with that stiff ass, tight wad boss of ours,” I replied to her.
Little did I know, the stiff ass was around the corner, listening. They say hind sight is 20/20. Valerie laughed, patted my shoulder, and before she walked away, we made plans for lunch.
At lunch, Valerie and I made small talk, while waiting for our salads.
“ You should get laid,” Valerie remarked.
“ Gee, thanks. Are you saying that I am getting a bit bitchy?” I remarked, dully.
“ Yes. Incredibly bitchy. You act like your 66, instead of 36. You work, go home, work, sleep, get up, and go back to work. You are just as much of a workaholic as Malcolm,” she told me.
“ Damn, Val! That's low. I haven't had a date in a couple of months. He hasn't ever had one,” I exclaimed.
“ Try 8 months. Ever since Dean left you, you have holed yourself up in a cocoon, and I think Malcolm is kinda hot,” she told me.
“ Why? How do you figure that?” I asked.
“ Haven't you taken a good look at him? Wondered what was under those 3 piece suits, he wears? I mean, he's tall, got all his own teeth, and a full head of hair,” she smirked.
“ Well, most people, who aren't on a respirator and are breathing can have those attributes, too,” I retorted.
We finished lunch, paid, and went back to work. The rest of the progressed, uneventfully. I was finishing my paperwork, when Malcolm emerged from his office.
“ Ahhh! The ogre emerges,” I thought to myself.
Walking to my desk, he dumps a load of files, and without saying a word, he returns to his cave. With such charm, it's no wonder why he is single. Sighing, I gather the files and go to the copier. After copying the needed documents, which seemed like a thousand pages, I returned to the main office, only to notice that everyone else had clocked out and went home.
With a heavy heart, I went to the cave door to begin the overtime from hell. Knocking, I wait for a response to enter the all mighty one's throne room. Hearing a muffled 'Come in', I enter a forbidden and totally foreign place.
Malcolm's office was really nice. I guess that is the perks of being the boss. He was sitting behind his huge oak desk. My God! I have never seen a desk so big. I noticed that he had removed his jacket and vest. Amazing how human someone becomes when the wrappings of society are peeled off.
“ Have a seat. We might as well get this over,” he said to me, not even looking up from his ledger.
“ Thanks. What is on the agenda?” I asked, already bored.
He sat back in his chair and stared at me, for what seemed like 10 minutes. Uncomfortable with the scrutiny, I began to squirm in my chair. Finally, he pushed out of his chair and walked to the door, locking it.
Frowning, I looked at him. Why was he locking the door? Not liking how this way going, I opened my mouth to say something, when he interrupted me.
“ Why are you such a bitch? You are nasty to everyone. I heard you earlier, and have been trying to decide on how to discipline you for insubordination,” he said, still facing that bookcase.
I was speechless. Was I going to be fired? I know my mouth doesn't have an off switch, and I know I should be more careful about what I say, but this was a first offense.
“ I...I don't know what say. It has been a...,” I stammered.
I never got to finish my statement, because he strode over to me. Leaning over my chair, he placed his hands on the arms of my chair. He was pinning me in my chair, towering over me. The more he leaned forward, I tried to lean back, but I had no where to go.
“ I think you need taken down a notch or two. You need someone to tame that bitch inside you. You need to be fucked, thoroughly,” he growled.
Lifting his right hand, he tangled it into my hair. Roughly, he yanked the clasp holding my long hair up and pulled it free from my hair. Volumes of curly, red hair fell down the back of my chair. All I could do was look at him, mesmerized, and a little scared.
“ I have always been fascinated by your hair. You have never came down off your high horse long enough to realize that. Yes, it's true. I don't date. Maybe, the one I wanted to date wasn't available. Maybe, she thinks she is too good for anyone,” he continued to growl.
Silently, I stared into his piercing, green eyes. I never noticed how green they were, as they were always hidden behind his gold, wire framed glasses. My eyes traveled his face. He had a strong, Roman nose, with a neatly trimmed mustache that perched on full lips.
What was I doing? Yes, I was insubordinate, but hell, this is harassment. Catching him off guard, I pushed him away. I was pissed. Storming to the door, I went to unlatch it, when I felt a very strong arm encircle my waist.
Flinging me over his shoulder, he carried me, kicking and screeching, to the sofa. Throwing me down on it, he leaned over me. I was, again, trapped by his body. My traitorous body responding to the rough treatment. Dammit, I was mad, but the madder I got, the more turned on I got.
I tried punching and scratching anything I could come in contact with, but he managed to capture both of my wrists. He imprisoned them in one of his hands, and held them above my head.
Leaning down, he placed a very gentle kiss on my lips. Taking my stillness for granted, he deepened the kiss. I felt his tongue probe my mouth, and for a tiny moment, I wanted to kiss back. My body, sure as hell, wanted it, but my temper kicked in, again.
Spitefully, I bit that soft, probing tongue. I thought he would get mad, and leave me alone. Chuckling, he bit my bottom lip...hard. Tears in my eyes, I looked up at him, surprised.
“ Two can play at that game. What you do to me, I am going to do to you. Remember that,” he softly whispered into my mouth.
I nodded.
“ If I let your hands go, will you behave?” he asked me.
Again, I nodded.
He pulled me into a sitting position, and placed himself between my legs. I was wearing a skirt, so this position was, positively, indecent. I wanted to close my legs, but his body was unyielding.
He ran his hand down my cheek, coming to rest at my neck. His eyes traveled down from my face to my chest. My white shirt was buttoned, conservatively, but sexily. Before I could react, both of his hand gripped my shirt and pulled hard. Buttons went everywhere. Gasping, I knew my white, lace demi bra, which only cupped the bottom half of my 36D breasts, was visible. What was I thinking, when I decided to wear this bra?
I heard his breathing become ragged at the sight of my creamy, white breasts. His finger reached out and traced my brown nipple. He gently flicked and rubbed it, until it stood erect. My nipples were harder than ever.
He leaned into my neck, inhaling the perfume I had put on this morning. I felt his lips brush the crook of my neck, gently nipping his way down to the top of my breast.
“ I can smell your passion,” he said.
