JORDAN Ella Washington distracted me.
Distracted was a euphemism for what she was doing to me. Hell, i didn't know if i was coming or going with this woman. I couldn't fucking stop thinking about her. Her soft skin. That taunting mouth of hers. Those fuck me eyes, those legs, God, don't start me on those damn legs.This morning even with the distraction of Leila, all i could think of was Ella. The image of her in my t-shirt was still stuck in my head. Leila was a commercial model she was the most sought after model in New York, every woman wanted to be her and ever man wanted her. She was mine, but even her had nothing on what Miss Ella was doing to me. I knew if i went to Chicago alone, i would not be able to concentrate on any thing. So whe was coming with me, i would rather have her close to me if that helps with the day dreaming. I never go to6any of my business meetings with women, especially women i sleep with. I prefer not to mix business with pleasure. But i guess with Ella it was different, she was my personal assistant after all.
As soon as we got into my office, i shrugged out of my jacket and hang it on a chrome coatrack. I gestured Ella towards the black leather sofa. "Have a seat." She didn't try to argue, she immediately walked across the room and sat down quietly. Moments later, Jeremy joined us with a black folder in his hands. He sat next to Tera on the couch and calmly said. "The people from Chicago just sent a revised version of the deal we discussed. I think you should look at it before your flight tonight." I took the folder from him and started flipping through the pages right away as i walked back to my chair. After thoroughly going over the new revised plan, Jeremy left to prepare for our departure. I looked over at Ella who was leaning sideways against the sofa, her back facing me. I walked over to her and saw that she had fallen asleep. I took off my jacket and put it over her and stood there with my hands in my pockets watching her peacefully sleeping. Her face was adorable as she slept, with her pink lips slightly parted. Her brows were neat and thick lashes fanned her cheeks followed by a small nose and kissable lips. I bent slowly to brush a strand of hair away from her face and kissed her smooth forehead. I straightened and stared at her a little longer as i memorized her youthful features. My heart warmed at the sight and my insights knotted thinking how this person in front of me was all i could think of. ***********Six months agoI woke up alone, my mind instantly coming awake. Her smell lingered, but when i turned in search of her, she was gone. I had fallen asleep to the feel of her breast in my palm, the beat of her heart in my ear. Her scent, both of her hair and skin, had been of lavender. My mouth was haunted by the taste of her. I gazed blindly at the ceiling. A strange overwhelming sensation of warmth flooded me when i thought about what she had done. She had pulled me up to her and held me in her arms. Silently, as if we were one body. No woman had ever done that to me. I wouldn't have let any woman dare do that. I vaulted upright, it was still dark in my room. The clock by my bedside said it was half past three in the morning. She could have waited until atleast morning to leave. Buti would be willing to bet she ran away the moment i fell asleep.I put my feet on the ground as i realized she was the first woman who had been able to move without waking me up. No matter how tired I was, i always felt the slightest movements happening around me. I never relaxed enough to deeply sleep with another person in the room with me. But this woman whom i did not know even her name unraveled me, she brought all my walls down with sucj ease that she shocked me. The weird thing was that, this is exactly the reaction I preferred from all my conquests, i preferred them gone almost immediately after our sex sessions. So why did it irritate me so much that this particular woman did this? I got out of bed seething, my body felt restless. I headed over to the bathroom, even the thought of her had my dick rising. I forewent the piss and just got into the shower. I let the water and the memory of her mouth as she had sucked me nearly out of my mind, wash over me. I redirected my anger into pure lust and pumped myself brutally. I saw myself grabbing her hips and fucking her so dan hard she screamed for mercy. And still i didn't stop. My release came and it was sweet, but it left me empty. I switched off the water and leaned against the tiles. Jeremy was right, he always said it was all fun and games until you find yourself obsessing over a woman. Yeah i had been fucking around all my life, and now i was in danger of losing myself to some woman i knew nothing about not even her name. I pulled a towel around my hips.Even now i felt dissatisfied, i knew without doubt i couldn't go back to sleep. My heart felt empty with her gone. I had never felt like this before. Not since six years ago when Raina died. How could i loose something i never had before? Why was i feeling like i had known this mysterious woman my whole life?.PRESENT. A knock on the door took my attention away from Ella. Jeremy entered the room. "It's time." He looked at Ella sleeping and looked back at me. "I will wake her up its fine."But before i could, she sat up and started rubbing her eyes drowsily. " Am so sorry i fell asleep."" It's okay, but we need to go now, " She hurriedly stood up giving me back my jacket with flushed cheeks. "Thanks." she mumbled on our way out. Our ride to her place was pretty quiet. I turned to look at Ella, her head rested against the door of the limousine. The champagne in the cup holder lay untouched, the bubbles were flat now. I reached for my own glass of champagne and silently toasted to my success. Well mine and Jeremy's. We were about to close a really big deal in Chicago that we have been working on for close to two years now. The limo driver lowered the smoked window by a degree. "Sir, we have arrived at our destination." "Thank you, you can pull up upfront." As the limo climbed the long, narrow drive, i gently shook Ella to wake her up. She stirred, snorted and collapsed back to sleep again. I shook her again and she shot straight up. Eyes wide in shock, she pushed a strand of hair from her face. " We are at the address you gave." i said slowly as she looked around."I will only be a few minutes." she said as she struggled to get off the limo, only to find me behind her. "You don't really think am going to let you go in there alone." i say matter of factly still following. I expected her to put on some kind of fight but she was too exhausted she just let me follow her.ELLA. I have never brought a guy into my apartment before. Infact only Chloe has been to my house before. Because of my treatments and regular hospital stays, i never really had a social life so the out friend i had was chloe. But right now one of the richest men in New York city was in my house. My one bedroom cheap apartment.This entire day has been one bizzare moment after another. I open the door slowly making a quick scan of the apartment incase there's anything i need to hide. In doing so, i realize i just might have to hide everything and that's not possible with Jordan step behind me. When Jordan said we will pass by my place to pick up my stiff, I thought he was going to wait in the car while i pack. But he instead followed me up claiming women take forever to get ready, he needed to come up with me to make sure i hurry up. I step aside and allow him to enter my apartment. "Come in." i say. Jordan walks in after me, taking in my apartment with his curious eyes. Its a sm
Chapter seven. “Hey,” i said smiling at the receptionist. She was a tall brunette who didn't seem to like me very much. “Am here for Jordan,”“Do you have an appointment?” she asked me coldly. “Not officially, but he is expecting me.”“Well am not allowed to let anyone in without an appointment.” she said sitting back down. I took my phone out and dialed Jordan's number, but he was not picking up. I was about to go back down to the car, when Chloe called me. “Hey,” i answered the phone enthusiastically. “Hey baby girl how is Chicago treating you? Is it cold?”“I will catch you up on everything but i need your out of the box thinking right now.”“Ofcourse, what's going on?”“I am supposed to be in a meeting with Jordan but his receptionist won't let me in and he is not picking up his phone.” i said loudly for the receptionist who was looking at me like i was one of Jordan's sluts to hear. She just rolled her eyes. “Well that's easy, just walk right past her.” Chloe said giggling.
ELLA. It's almost past midnight. Jordan called an hour ago and said he wouldn't be coming back to the house. I didn't ask him questions i figured he was spending the night with the blonde from the party earlier. I cant sleep for some reason, on this particular lonely night it has me thinking about Alex, my son Kyle's father.I still never got him out of my head completely, though time made things better, sometimes I would see something that reminded me of him and it would put me in a funk. I remember the day i got the call, I was six months pregnant he died in war, he was in the military serving our country.On a particular lonely night when i was almost due, i went alone to a tattoo studio and had a a heart put in the spot he used kiss me. It's a tiny heart, about the size of a thumbprint. It's not fully closed i had it like that on purpose because it's how my heart feels every time i think about him. It just feels like a little hole in it, letting out all the air.I loved him, i st
Ella. I wore a sundress. Jordan cupped my face in his hands and brushed his mouth across mine with heartrending tenderness. His gaze remained haunted."Lunch?" i asked feeling the need to cling to the connection between us."I have a business lunch." he ran his fingers through my loose hair. "would you come with? Our driver can drop you off after""I would love to come along." his haze softened.Dressed in formal clothes he looked somber yet collected. I knew he was anything but. On the drive to the business lunch he cuddled me in his lap, i didn't speak more than a dozen words during the meal, which Jordan ordered for me.I sat quietly at his side, my left hand resting on his hard thigh beneath the table cloth. A wordless affirmation for my commitment to him or is it our contract. One of his hands rested warmly over mine as he diacussed a new property he was acquiring.With each hour that passed i felt the horror of the morning, i didn't know how to get him to talk to me or even ope
EllaI am watching friends eating peanut butter and bread on the bedChloe 's wild thing ring tone makes me grinas my phone screen lights up, as usual i answer with Bluetooth to avoid using my hands. "Hey Chloe, what's up" "i should ask you that girl, you are the one with a new boyfriend" "he is not my boyfriend and you know that" "well how is the man you're having all boyfriend benefits with doing" she says laughing"He is good, actually he is out right now with his ex wife" " what? He was married?" "Yap, so yes am home eating peanut watching friends, how are you guys" "We are all good, we miss you" "i miss you guys too, can't wait to get back home next week" i sat up tugging at the shorts i was wearing tugging them up "Girl, guess what am wearing" "How am i supposed to guess what you are wearing Ella, it could be anything" "But it's not, it's your Christmas gift to me" "Ofcourse you would wear them when no one is home" "because that's the intention no one will ever see
ELLA. We are making our way into our side of the cabin house when Jordan grabs my waist and starts kissing me against the wall. He just starts kissing me out of nowhere.We have just arrived at his parent's cabin house, for the memorial of his daughter Zuri. She was buried here. "Impatient much?!" i murmurHe laughs and cups my ass with both his hands. "Nope, you just look amazing today" he continues kissing me until i push him away and walk into the kitchen and grab a bottle of wine and two glasses.Jordan comes up behind me as i am pouring the wine and snakes his arms around my waist. I hand him a glass of wine "i think you are using me to deflect from your emotions and what you are feeling today?"He steps over to me and takes my glass of wine from my hands. He sets both our glasses at the counter top, he then leans in and gives me a deep passionate drunken kiss. I can taste the tart of fruitness of the wine on his tongue and i like it. His hands go to the back of my dresser wher
ELLA My phone was puzzing, i thought i was being smart putting it out of reach. The hope was that if i couldn't reach it i wouldn't answer it.Maybe it was Jordan, we hadn't spoken since i sent him my resignation letter and left. The man is fine AF, yes, but he is taken. I'm not trying to walk on Leila's grass, though to be clear, it is a beautifully maintained lawn. Yes there is an attraction between us but i have lived long enough to not believe men who say they are going to break up with their wives girlfriends for you.I also had my fair share of secrets, Jordan didn't know everything about me he just fell in love with a part of me. He had no idea i had a son and I intended it to stay that way.I look at my phone it's Chloe asking me where am at, we were supposed to grab lunch together.Am a little disappointed Jordan has not tried to reach me at all. It's been a week since our hotel incidence where i bolted out when he was still in the shower. I knew he would be furious dissapo
Jordan .My cell phone is ringing in my pocket when we walk back into the house with Leila from our dinner. I place the deserts we ordered to go on the kitchen counter before fumbling my pockets to see who might be calling. I was expecting a call from my private investigator all day, maybe it's him.I look at the screen and it's actually Ella calling. We had not spoken since she ditched me. Leila gives me a glance that implies she was asking who was calling me this late. I direct the call to voicemail and decide not to let Ella ruin my perfect night out with Leila . Things were going well so far, i think i might be open to giving us another chance. After Ella left me in the hotel after i told her how i felt i decided to give Leila a chance."Was it that hoe Ella?" Leila fired at me almost furious "Jordan i thought we went over this?""Babe you don't even know if it's actually Ella"Instead of answering me, she scowled and shrugged her shoulders like a pelutant child."come on Leila "
