“How much time do we have left?” I asked when I straightened up and returned the bottle. “I need to go to an important meeting tonight.”
“I thought that you would be off” he pointed out, keeping the bottle in a kind of fanny pack on his muscular waist.I shrugged, snorting silently. I also thought I would be off, I had even planned to be with my master in his apartment - no matter how much our meetings were scheduled for the weekends - but my stupid boss decided he needed a meeting with his entire team.The reason he wanted to talk to everyone? None. All the meetings met in a big swim. Because my boss was the kind of man who liked to be heard and did everything to make it happen, even abusing his position. He simply scheduled meetings overnight and demanded that everyone cancel their appointments for this.“I also thought I would be, but…”I didn't even have to finish, Elijah sighed as he put both hands on his hips.“We had an hour of training, like every day. But your boss is a asshole, Becca.”I sighed softly, taking advantage of his stop to lean on a tree and ending up sitting on the grass. We were surrounded by large trees curved in that path, which sprouted from low lawns and were surrounded by wild flowers.I loved Spring, because the whole park was impregnated with that sweet smell of nature in its splendor, and it was relaxing to just sit down and watch the world go by.“Don't even tell me about that asshole. I can't wait to resign.”“Why did you never leave that office?” asked Elijah, frowning slightly. He approached the tree, but didn't sit down. “I always thought you were too communicative to be locked in that dull place, and too smart not to fool yourself thinking that helping to plan the events of that sucker would be the same as being a Promoter. You had to look for something better.”I sibiled softly, with fun.“I don't know what position you're suggesting I should occupy, but I just hope it's not something like that your story of me becoming a Stripper. I talk too much, but I'm shy, do you understand the difference?”Elijah let out a deep laugh, wiping with the hem of his shirt a few drops of sweat that flowed down his forehead. The brown hair was totally moist, and he was lucky that the strands were short, because unlike him, mine were totally stuck to the forehead and back of the neck. I even got angry when I pushed some blond hair away from behind my ears, because everything was too wet.“Fred and I have been friends for years” said Elijah, referring to my master. He didn't know the level of relationship we had, but he suspected it was a secret relationship, considering who Fred was and how much he preserved for his intimate life. “Do you want me to give him some tips about you being the best personal assistant he could have? So you can talk by the elbows, stay shy, and still get married as soon as possible to let me eat the snacks of your fancy party.I let out a laugh of pure disdain.”“Work with the guy I'm leaving with? Never in this life. God forbid.”“Why not?”“They think they can control us all the time” I rolled my eyes, although that part happens anyway. “No minimally smart woman gets involved with the bosses, no matter how hot they are. If Fred becomes my boss, I'll go out.”“You two are weird.” Elijah had an unknown expression on his face. “You've been together for months. Fred almost doesn't always mention your name when we're training, and you're always far away when I talk about him. If I wasn't considered crazy for saying that, I would swear that you get involved in a very peculiar way.”I giggled, because he had no idea how peculiar that relationship was.“Admit that you are a gossiper who can't leave the lives of others alone.”“I'm not a gossiper. I just like to keep myself informed about the lives of my friends, neighbors, family, and even strangers. Don't judge me.”“Oh, I judge” I said at the same time, all smiling that the moment of torture in that race was left behind by Elijah's distraction. My goal was to keep keeping the conversation, just so that our one hour of training would end and I could go home to watch series and eat crap, throwing all the training in the trash. “We only became friends because you did a gossip about Fred's sister and I was too curious to know too. And you didn't even know my name at that time, you were only being paid to train me, and you even updated me on all the gossip in the world of socialites.”Elijah giggled awkwardly, shrugging.“The biggest gossip in the world I haven't discovered yet, which is why you and Fred don't assume once and for all.”“Duh” I emit softly, making a face. “He is rich, important, and has a million enemies on his tail. Besides, I don't want a serious relationship with anyone.”“I say the same thing about my ex” he said, gesturing with his shoulders once again. “Only if he snaps his fingers, I'll run after him. You and Fred are the same thing, I'm sure.”I laughed. Elijah was really women's dream of consumption, but absolutely gay and gossipy, the kind that didn't know how to keep his tongue inside his mouth for more than five minutes. Telling him what Fred and I had would be the same as announcing on the cover of Vogue. Everyone would know the next day. Despite this, it was what I could call the best man friend I've ever had in my entire life.“That's why, stop talking like that” I grumbled, frowning. “You keep having relapses with your ex-boyfriend and no one judges you for it. About Fred and me, don't keep nurturing hopes of being the godfather of our wedding, because if one day happens, I won't call you. I'm going to eat all the sweets and snacks by myself. By the way, the party of rich people doesn't even have these things.”Elijah tilted his head lightly.“So do you have hopes for a wedding?”I grumbled.“Oh, Eli, I'm wrong.”Elijah laughed softly, so suddenly turned to look at a peculiar group of young people approaching. It was a Monday morning, although the sun was cracking like on a desert afternoon, and the boys already seemed to be high or very drunk.I looked away and took my cell phone in my legging pocket. My master had sent a good morning message a few minutes before, which I replied at the same time, and there was no other sign from him after that.As much as I tried to convince myself that our relationship was much more than just a few escapes for a rougher sex, or a caring relationship that was not just because I wanted to preserve a person considered his property, I could not be hypocritical of not comparing that we were already like a boss and an employee.There was a contract between us, clauses and terms that made me his, and that gave me benefits as a bargaining chip. So, he was like a boss from whom I always ended up ending the nights in his bed. Thinking about it made me laugh sometimes, but when I remembered the kind of judgment I would receive if someone in my family knew what Fred represented to me, I was tense at the same time.“Becca…” called Elijah, and I raised my head in a distracted way, startling me when I noticed that he simply had a knife leaning against his throat and his eyes wide open for me, as that group of boys with reddish and cloudy eyes surrounded us. “Don't move.”Even angry and having several super valid arguments to expose in those emails I have been sending and receiving since the early hours of dawn, I had to stop to snap my fingers and breathe deeply, before I ended up telling my partner to go to hell.Mondays irritated me naturally, and having to deal with a shitman, who did not know how to identify a good deal and who was directly hindering me in a negotiation with Chinese and very profitable factories, was at the top of my biggest irritations.Honestly, I've always been wondering where I had my head to let August Spencil buy thirty-five percent of my company's shares, and why the fuck I still let him use the title of partner, when he just did shit.The man did not see a good deal even if there was a sign in Neon with bottle letters about all the possibilities of that business yielding us funds in a matter of days, and the work of clashing with him and losing years of youth due to stress was always all mine.I sent an email that couldn't
“Why are you so cruel to me, dear older brother?”I rolled my eyes before the drama, although my expression softened a little.“I'm not being cruel.”“So you have a wooden log stuck in your ass to be so angry without the slightest need?” she provoked, arching an eyebrow. I laughed without any humor, closing my face as I sat in the chair once again. Madeleine sat on the desk, not giving a damn about my face of few friends. “Or have you been having little sex? If you let me introduce some friends…”“I dismiss” I said at the same time, taking a deep breath. All I didn't need that morning was to keep putting up with my family's assumptions about my sexuality. “How much do you want?”“Who said I'm here for money?” She closed her face, crossing her legs while getting upset. “Mom told me to see how you were, since she doesn't remember that you have a family.”“Oh, unfortunately, I never forget” I spoke coldly, and Madeleine leaned over to throw my paper weight against me. I took the object o
Elijah had enough presence of spirit not to make me even more frightened while that group of young people surrounded us. It was very early, which meant that someone would show up at any time, and the boys would get into a nice mess if they didn't plan to run away immediately. Which also meant that any thoughtless attitude, both by me and by Elijah, could cost our lives.“You don't have to do that” said Elijah, motionless and swallowing with difficulty, as his pockets were rolled by the boys around him. The one with the knife leaning against my coach's throat just held it harder. “ I can deliver our items without any resistance, just let me do that.”“And the cute one here?” grumbled a voice coming from my back, I hadn't even noticed that one of the boys had bypassed the group to get close to me. I could feel it when the boy groped my pockets and found my cell phone. “Shouldn't we do something with her?”The boys turned at the same time to the one who had spoken, almost as if they want
I opened my mouth to say something to Elijah, to say that I wasn't feeling pain and that he didn't need to keep his eyes wide that way, because I felt good. But the heart of that wound paralyzed me to the point of realizing that I was losing strength in my legs. Little by little, I tipped to the opposite side of the stab, collapsing on the ground as if the world had slowed down.In fact, people were approaching, because when I completely fainted on the dirt trail between the low vegetation, Elijah had to release the boy and run to me, so I noticed that others hurried to hold the boy and keep him away.Elijah had his eyes totally glazed, desperate. He tore my shirt to reveal the injured belly, did not touch the knife, knew the first aid and knew that even if the blade was half-tung, there was still a risk of a serious perforation."I'll call the ambulance," someone warned in a breath."No," Elijah said still in a tone of despair, before getting up and looking in the pocket of the boy w
My master took a deep breath. He was still sitting next to me. My head was still resting on his lap, so I noticed when a small tremor pierced his thighs inside his social pants. Was he afraid? Angry? I was confused by the reaction. So I began to open my eyes, drawing Elijah's attention and distracting my master from any impolite subject.I had understood Elijah's hint very well. He didn't know what kind of relationship Fred and I had, but he suspected it was some kind of mutual interest. I wasn't poor, I didn't need a man to support me, and I hadn't lost my youth without studying.I was a graduate, worked in an area that caught my attention "desperate that there is already a step of throwing everything up" and I was independent, with an apartment in my name and a car always waiting for me in the garage of my house. Fred was not the person who fucked me, he just gave me what I had attracted so easily in sex; submission.We kept that kind of relationship a secret because people wouldn't
I was sure Madeleine would skin me alive after that day.She had taken the trouble to convince me to be less than indifferent, had accepted my own invitation to a breakfast, and had an unfriendly expression on her face after I warned of an unforeseen event and that I could no longer accompany her to the cafe. In the middle of the street, while we continued walking with my bodyguards always on alert, I received a call from my private driver, warning that Rebecca would be in danger.I must have crossed the city in record time, driving at high speed to get home, only to find Rebecca fainted and receiving help from my private doctor. He was already suturing the wound when I arrived, but it was completely pale and her lips cracked. The blood should have vanished from inside her for a long time, maybe it still was, considering the doctor's haste to finish the work.And during those tense moments when my submissive was placed on the dining table so that the doctor had a firm place to take ca
Rebecca got agitated, probably trying to think about what attitude would be least inappropriate for her master. Even though she was still very young in that lifestyle, she played that role of absolute submission very well."Sir, I need to work," she said, slightly nibbling her lower lip. I tried not to focus too much on how the gesture looked too sensual, although it was just spontaneous. “I can’t stay here.”"You took a stab, Babygirl" I pointed out with a chin movement. "What can your boss demand from you for today?”Rebecca suddenly stood up, then staggered."I'm fine. I can work.”I frowned." Why are you acting that way?”"What form? "She disguised with a weak smile."Tay what's going on, Rebecca," I asked in a serious tone.Rebecca cleared her throat."I just think that if I stay here, I may be going against the contract, and that's not right, master.”I nodded slightly, sketching a smile that didn't reach my eyes. I recognized the lie. Just because she wasn't honest with me, th
"No," I replied by lowering my eyes and pulling my cell phone out of my pocket, he had just whistled at a message from Soraya. I had a meeting in a few minutes, and I was telling her to let everyone know that I could only attend remotely. Hell that I would leave that apartment without being sure that Rebecca was fine. "Dr. Cirion will be back soon, Sub.”“It’s okay, master. “She exhaled softly, rushing to pass by me. “Thank you very much, sir.”I let my body fall sitting on the couch, while I leaned forward supporting my hands on my face. I no longer felt entitled to do that. I didn't want to use it, not the same way I always did with others. I wish it was mine without that damn contract. I wanted you to believe it when I gave her some jewelry.Why was she so different? A beautiful, intelligent, seductive woman, but who didn't accept my money. Why? All the others always made a point of going out with me so that they were photographed together with me, but she always prevented them fro
