Book:The millionaire and his mistress Published:2024-8-3

And ? I own a bunch of pennies in my piggy bank what does that make me ? A pennyanaire ? I just made that word up.
You don’t even own dimes ?
No, because my nickels get jealous.
He rolled his eyes before trying to hold back his laugh. You are something else.
Wait until you meet my family. I joked but he stiffened as soon as the last word slipped my mouth. That just ruined the moment. I mumbled to myself.
No. He shook his head before I felt his body slowly releasing itself back to normal. If we are still together, I wouldn’t mind.
Okay. I cheerfully gloated and he kissed me on my forehead before letting me go.
As much as I don’t want you to leave..
We have work to attend. I finished his thought and he caught me off guard as he winked at me before turning to walk to his desk.
I’ll see you in a few. He called out to me once he grew some distance between us.
Yes sir. He stopped in his place, he turned his head to the side before angling his body to me.
But before he could even utter what he was thinking, I rushed out of the room. I knew I was going to hear about it later.
Going to my office, I wanted to smack my head against the wall after seeing the paperwork and sticky notes of numbers I needed to call. I swear being a Personal Assistant is a lot of work.
After a good solid four hours had passed I leant back in my chair, deciding to take a five to ten to maybe forever break.
Knock, Knock. I heard a soft soothing voice and it took everything within me to not fall asleep. Opening my eyes I saw Adaline standing in the middle of the doorway. Hey come in.
You look stressed. She took notice of how I was slumped before sitting up.
I am. I ran my head over my hair making sure nothing was sticking up. How are you ? I gestured for to have a seat if she wanted to.
I’m good. She replied. I heard about what happened.
What happened ?
Your friend ? News travels around here.
People are so noisy.. I rolled my eyes before shrugging. But yes it’s true.
Do you still need a place to stay ?
Not anymore I don’t.
Her eyebrows furrowed in questioning. Where are you staying ?
Well uh..
If you need me to close the door then okay. She went over to the door and shut it. Too many vultures roam this company.
Well you already know him. I hinted, and it wasn’t like a secret to her anyway and she respected that I wanted to keep it to ourselves.
I know him ? She looked deep in thought. I don’t know anybody else expect for- I could tell she already figured it out. She pointed in the direction of his office. Him ?
Yes.
As in him, him. You’re sure ? Her eyes were as wide as cotton balls, I could tell she was trying to process it all.
How did that happen ?!
He offered me after I told him what happened. I stated simply, there was no need for the details.
He offered ?
Yeah ?
Like offered, offered right ? Like-
I’m hungry you want to go grab something to eat ? I asked, realizing she was stunned for words.
Yeah, that’s a great idea. She placed her hand to her forehead before we set out for lunch.
We arrive back to the office and we go our separate ways, after having to explain to her what happened since she still couldn’t believe it, before getting back to work. I sit down at my desk and my intercom comes on almost automatically, as if it knew my arrival.
Embre.
Yes ?
We have a meeting in 10.
What room ? I asked him while gathering my supplies needed for the meeting.
1476. Why does he keep changing the rooms ?
I’m on my way. He ends the call and I get up and make my way to the room. Sitting down on the far left side like always, I wait.
A few minutes later some- some familiar-business men come into the room- Landon last- and he sits next to me, leaving the other men to sit around him.
It was quite odd that he sat next to me unexpectedly, and a few eyes lingered on us, I knew that they took notice to his unusual behavior. I wasn’t going to question him so I clicked my pen, preparing to do my job.
I took notes, listening-sometimes passing in my inputs when asked-but all too soon I came to the conclusion as to why he was sitting next to me.
His hand ran across my thigh almost unexpectedly and it caused me to jump in fright before looking down to seeing his hand tighten its grip on my thigh.
It didn’t really bother me until he started to draw small circles with his thumb and it caused me to shiver, but it wasn’t because of the cold. Looking up from my paper to see him- talking as usual-with a small smirk lingering on the corner of his lips.
I tried to move away from his touch, but his hand clamps around my thigh- stopping his circle motion- causing my cheeks to heat up but I try to remain professional like he wasn’t possibly affecting me.
I faked a rubbing of my nose before dropping my hand to my lap before latching my hand around his.
It seemed to take him by surprise but he flipped his hand over for my hand to fit into his.
That’s it for the meeting gentlemen, you may leave.
But- One of them tried to interject.
I said you may leave. He sternly ordered them. Come back tomorrow if you are still interested, then I’ll let you know if I’m interested in investing.
Yes sir. They all got up, some looked annoyed, pissed, and others looked like they were pleading with him to let them stay to make a deal.
Once the door closed, I flicked his hand away. That was rude.
How so ?
You talk rough all the time.
That’s one of my jobs. He twisted his chair to face me his facial expression stern and I backed my chair up to stand.
Well then I should get back to my job. I cheekily grinned before gathering my stuff.
I didn’t say you could leave.
You don’t have to say or tell me anything, I was blessed with two of these. I pointed to my ears.
I want you to stay.
We’re almost off and then after that I can stay for how longer you want. I held out of my hand for him to shake.
He took it nonetheless but instead of giving me a solid handshake he yanked me down colliding our bodies together. Do I talk rough with you ? His tone changed, raspy and affective. He knew he was in charge.
Not really. I shrugged, before placing my folder in between us. I’ll see you in your office. But I quickly had to add in once I saw his facial expression, a sly grin was forming as he thought of other.. naughty things. For the notes. He fake pouted but before it could take a toll on me, I exited the room to go to his.
Pushing open his door, I entered. His gigantic chair- bigger than mine- seemed inviting and looking to the door and looking back and I decide to humor myself while waiting.
Rounding his desk I flopped down, almost falling from how low it is compared to my chair in my office.
Once readjusting it. I gave myself a twirl before facing the door again, grinning to myself I did it again. I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself. I stop with the chair facing the opposite direction.
Busted.
Slowly spinning myself back around, I see him closing the door. Placing my hands on his desk, I stood up in a hurry. You did not see that.
I watched him carefully as he pulled off his suit jacket- a little too slowly for me- the ripple of his muscles followed his movement. But I did.
I continued to watch him walk towards me and my hands tightened on the edge of his desk.
Turning the chair, I watched him back his chair away from me for him to sit and for once he was looking up at me.
He reached out for my hand before tugging it, telling me he wanted me to sit. I’m kind of heavy. I warned him before granting him what he wanted.
He didn’t make any sign of discomfort. Both of his hands went around my mid section, his right hand fanning out before pressing me back and I leaned into his embrace, my back meeting his front. I leant my head back onto his right shoulder.
The notes ? He turned his head to the side, his lips lingering against my cheek causing goosebumps to awaken.
Right there. I pointed to green folder I had used his desk. You want to go over them right now ?
No.
Okay. We stayed in silence after that. I turned my head to the side to see his beautiful eyes were shut closed. Twisting a little, I reached my right hand up to lay against his left cheek before running my thumb across softly. I heard his small sigh- it couldn’t have gone unnoticed- but he didn’t open his eyes. He seemed peaceful.
Traveling my hand down, letting my hand rest on his chest, I leaned in to give him a small kiss but before I could pull away his left hand reached up, his forefinger and thumb going under my chin, securing me to him. This unlike the others remained slow, and it felt.. different.
