DADDY'S LITTLE PLAYTHING

I stared at the almond candy in front of me and sighed. I had told myself.

No more almond candies

But yeah I couldn’t stop craving even when I kept telling myself that I could do it, I could stay a day without taking one.

I sighed as I stared at it sitting temptingly on the desk, I shook my head—Fuck it.

I snatched the candy, tore the wrapper and sighed as the chocolate hit my taste buds. I was addicted to candies, especially almond candy. I couldn’t stay a day without popping one into my mouth.

My ex boyfriend used to tease me about it, the dork even said maybe it was the candy that made me insensitive to sex. I sighed again for the fifth time, adding that to another list of my problems. Something must be wrong with me how on earth would someone not react when strong hands massage your clit. Or when a tongue played with your nipples.

Damn I had a problem, a serious one.

Maybe after work today, I should hit a therapist or a doctor. The door opened and Beth waltzed in swinging her hips like Shakira 

“Sage dear” she said in her singsong voice. “Tell me you heard the news” she said and I stared at her in confusion.

“What news?” I asked and she stared at me incredulously.

“What news?” She echoed in disbelief, “Do you even work here at all”

“Of course” I waved my hands at the computer on my desk.

Beth shook her head. “You’re unbelievable, everyone knows this. It’s talk of this company” she said and I sighed. Truth be told, I barely knew what happened in this company. I had a whole lot on my mind and extra loads of problems.

“Just tell me” I groaned and she shot me a look before plopping down on the chair in front of me.

“The company has been sold…... .to someone else” she said and I raised a brow. Now I see why she was surprised I didn’t know this. This was indeed…..news.

“So we get to move out, find another job?” I asked and she shrugged. She played with a lock of blonde hair on her forehead.

“I don’t know, I guess we’ll see for now. Dave told me that the new owner said he would like to see the staff. Maybe he’s not gonna chase everyone out” she said and I let out my breath in relief. This was all my years of hard work. After Dad had died I had to struggle to climb all the way to get to his company and I didn’t fancy it all just toppling down.

Beth's phone buzzed and I watched as her face lit up as she stared at the screen. She raised her head and grinned at me, she stood

“Come on, Sage. He’s here” she said and I stared at her in confusion.

“Who?” I asked and she raised her hands in exasperation.

“Dammit Sage, the new owner, what the Fuck is going through that pea sized brain of yours” she said and I fought the urge to smirk.

I followed her to where she pointed at our boss talking to a very tall figure. He was dressed in a dark tuxedo suit and his pants were well tailored, looking to be from the latest brand. His wristwatch alone, I was sure, could afford my salary for a full year and more.

As if sensing us he turned and stared……right at me. For a moment my blood ran cold, not because of anything but because I could remember this face. This handsome dark haired man, with his green eyes which looked slightly older now. Then he smiled and my legs literally went weak, I stumbled forward  and Beth had to tug on my arm to keep me on my feet.

Why was I feeling this way? Why did my knees suddenly go weak from a single smile? This was weird. If the man in front of us seemed to notice me stumbling on my own feet he made no show for it. He turned to my boss, or rather our former boss.

“You didn’t tell me she worked here” he said and the other man stared at me.

“You know her Mr Mark” he asked.

Mark, yes. That was what dad called him.

Mark grinned, he didn’t answer the other man but instead walked to where Beth and I stood. He offered his arm.

“Pleasure to meet you again Sage, you’ve grown so much” he said. His voice was deep, soothing. It ran through my bones and for a moment all I could do was stare. Another thing he didn’t know was that I had a crush on him back when I was still a young teenager.

Beth jabbed me in the ribs jolting me out of my reverie and I offered a smile and shook his hand.

“Yes Uhh…..Mr Mark. It’s nice to meet you too” I stammered and she sighed.

Pls let my hand go. My panties are wet.

Fortunately he let my hand go and I let out my breath. What the hell was wrong with me. Why was I getting aroused from a single touch

I thought I couldn’t get aroused. Heck I had even planned to go to a doctor to check my condition after work today.

“Hit me up when you’re done with work. I'd like to take you out to dinner. To catch up, good?” He drawled and I nodded.

“Yes…sir” I said and he nodded to Beth and walked away. The other man followed.

Beth stared at me in surprise. She punched me in the arm and I winced.

“Hey”

“Holy mother of……..you freaking know Mark Arthur” she said as we walked down a series of stairs back to the office.

“Yeah so?” I said trying to act nonchalant and she shook her head.

“You’re upside in the head Sage. That’s one of the richest and most prestigious men in America and he just shook your hands like you’re family.” She replied.

“It’s nothing” I ground out. 

“Yeah it’s nothing,” she said sarcastically. “And hey I saw your licking your lips when he held your hand”

Damn I was in for one hell of a rough ride.

And how on earth did one get aroused from a handshake. 

He smiled at me, “Come on, let’s go eat we have a lot to catch up on”

Yeah we do.
