Bruno looked at the bracelet again, he’s certain it was Sage’s he had seen her wear it the night of Hugo and Maya’s dinner party, the very same bracelet she’d drop in the driveway. The question now is how did it get in his office underneath his desk as far as he knows only cleaning staff are here after hours. He buzzed his assistant.”Leandra. Can you please come into my office.”
“I’ll be there in moment Mr Romero.”A second later a knock came from the door he told her to come in.
“While I have been away has anyone come looking for me. A woman.”
“No sir.”She answered.
“Apart from the cleaning staff who comes after hours has anyone been in my office.”
“Not that I know of Mr Romero.”
“Think carefully Leandra. You stayed late the other night working on the new reports I asked you to prepare for when I come back, have you seen anyone.”
“No sir the only person who was here was the cleaning lady, she came to clean the boardroom and your office other than that no one came up here. Is something wrong sir.”
“Did you see her face.”He asked.
“Briefly. She greeted me when she passed my desk, she looked young seem to be about five feet she had auburn hair with fair skin. Is something missing.”
Could it be..? He thought.”Get me a list of all the cleaning staff that comes after hours. I need it immediately.”She quickly left his office. Some worlds aren’t meant to collide.. her words came in his head. Is what he thinking correct. Is Sage a cleaner, could that explain why he’s always smelling her scent every morning when he comes to work. Is she the one who’s been keeping his office so spotless and clean. He stared at the bracelet again, it would answer so many questions and why she’s determined for them not to see each other. She probably thinks he would think less of her or feel embarrassed by her if he finds out what she’s doing for a living, she couldn’t be more wrong. He doesn’t care what she does for a living. All he wanted was her and nothing else.
A loud knock on the door made Sage jump, she was busy doing yoga on the living room floor while the boys are taking their afternoon nap this morning she couldn’t do it because she’d woken up late, she quickly rushed to answer when another loud knock came she cannot afford for the boys to wake up now.”Is that anyway to kno-…”The words left her mouth when she saw who it was.”Bruno..?”Her heart skipped a beat at seeing him, she’d thought he would be gone for another week.
“You finally here.”He said strolling past her without even waiting for an invitation.
“What are you doing here I thought we agr-..”
“We didn’t agree on anything. Only you made that choice.”He said interrupting her. She looked so sexy with her red hair fasten in a high ponytail, those tight black leggings outlined every delicious curve of her body the matching sports bra hugged her breasts all he can think of right now is pull her into his arms and kiss the life out of her, kiss her for these past weeks that he hasn’t seen or hold her. Damn this woman is gorgeous everything about her calls out to the animal inside him, he wants to rip her clothing off and take her hard and fast from behind, he wants to claim every part of her body, have her scream out his name as she comes apart in his arms. He can feel himself hardening just looking at her and his lustful thoughts aren’t helping, his erection was only becoming harder, he cursed softly.
“What’s wrong?”She asked.”Are you okay?”She came closer.”You look like you’re in pain.”
He moved away from the hand that wanted to touch him, he saw her confusion and also how hurt she is when he moved away from her touch if she can touch him now, he won’t be responsible for his actions he hasn’t been with anyone in weeks all because of Sage, he wants no one except her.”I’m fine.”He snapped.
Sage took a step back at his harsh, cold tone.”Yes, I can see that. What do you want I’m sure you have a reason for coming here.”
Yes he does. He gave her the bracelet, shock gleamed brightly in her brown eyes.”Is that yours?”She wasn’t even looking at him.”Answer me.”He urged.
“Where did you find it?”She moved back into the livingroom and began to pick up her yoga equipment, Sage hadn’t even notice her bracelet was gone until she had come home that’s when it had dawn on her she must’ve lost it. If Bruno brought it back then it means it had fallen off in his office and now he’s gonna demand answer as to how it got there.
“Where I found it isn’t important. What’s important is you telling me how it had end up in my office.”
“I don’t owe you any explanation Bruno.”He spun her around so fast that she gasped, she was pressed up against him.”What’s wrong with you. Let go of me.”
“Not until you answer my question.”He told her.
“What do you want me to say?”
“I want the truth from you.”He said.
“Truth.”She croaked, Sage fixed her eyes on his broad chest, if he knows than why is he still asking her.”What difference will it make Bruno, the reality will still be the same. That we are different, my job won’t change the fact that we can never be.”
“So it’s true.”He probed.
“That I’m a cleaner. Yes it is Bruno.”She tried to move away from him but his hold tighten.”I work for Kim, your HR department hired them, I’m the help, the one who comes in and clean up after you, the one who does the one job no one else wants to do. Cleaning toilets. That’s my job.”
He was silent for so long.”Why didn’t you tell me.”
“Oh Bruno and say what. Hey I forgot to tell you I’m the new cleaning lady that’s cleaning your office.”So that explains why her scent is always there in his office.”Let go of me.”She said again.
“I don’t want to.”She feels so good in his arms.”Is that why you said some worlds aren’t meant to collide, because you’re a cleaner and I’m a billionaire.”
“Yes, and a whole other list of reasons. Men like you don’t date the help or sleep with them. Go back to Lana Bruno and leave me alone.”
“Stop telling me about that woman, I want nothing to do with her. Especially after the way she disrespected you.”
“You don’t need to stand up for me. I can take care of myself.”
“Maybe it’s time you let someone else take care of you.”Sage could feel his warm hand on her lower back, heat spread out her entire body.”I don’t care what you do for a living Sage, I still want you. I’m not gonna think less of you only because you’re a cleaner. In fact I want you more than before.”The air around them became charged.”Having you is all I think about.”She could feel the slight tremor in his hand, hear the tension in his voice, he swallowed hard the outside world didn’t exist as they stared at his each other.”Sage..”His voice was thick with lust Sage’s own body responded, having a will of their own her hands made their way up his arms till they entwined behind his neck, he was tall, big. His head descended towards her own.
“We shouldn’t.”She managed past her clogged up throat.
“You want me. I can feel it.”She wanted him more than anything in this world.
“That won’t change the fact how different we are.”
“I don’t care.”His hot breath close to her ear made shivers of delight course through her, she tighten her hold on his neck. Without warning he scooped her up, their faces inches away, noses touching. A second later his mouth claimed hers in a kiss that instantly owned, Sage held on as he ravaged every inch of her mouth, as his tongue demanded entry into her mouth, she took him all in savoring every inch of him. She opened wider for him their tongues coming together in an erotic frenzy, Sage has never felt so alive, his kiss rocked every fiber of her being it coursed through every cell of her body, lightening her up like a rocket. She can feel his arousal, against her own she pressed into it wanting to feel his hardness against her, needing that friction her fingers tighten in his hair holding on as the tempo of his kiss changed, it became urgent, she can feel his hands on her bottom squeezing and pressing her into him, she moaned her approval greedy hands began to remove his clothing, Sage threw his jacket on the floor her fingers fiddled with the buttons off his shirt. All the while their mouths still joined, at last she groaned when she felt his hardness under her palms she spread out her hands over his back and front.
