Let’s discuss the next step

The men slowly exit the living room while Dimitri remains put, but Tommy walks out with the others, with the look on their faces, the boss had instructed them to carry out a task. Once the living room is empty, the boss walks up to me slowly and stops with the same firm look.

“Let's just discuss the next step, Ms. May.”

Now he sounds very professional pissed off too. I nod as we take a seat, respectively. He pours himself some alcohol and turns to me, and motions with his head that I do the same and I tell him that I'm perfectly okay.

“Welcome to my family, THIS is where I call home, except that Daph isn't here. She is stuck up with her Mom, whatever anyway. This is a business trip, yes, but it's not just a business trip. We are associated with some critically dangerous community, and so, you are brought here to handle the franchises and I would handle MY business as well. Dimitri or Tommy would drive you to wherever the meetings need to take place and you'd summarize the whole meeting to me and then we'd take the next step.” he stops to gulp the wine. “And secondly, you'd assist us with some matters underlying, all you have to do May, is to cooperate with us all. As long as you do so, you are safe and things will work very swiftly. Any questions?”

“I understand everything but then, for how long are all of these going to take?”

“About that, it's not yet decided! The franchise is meant to last a week and a half and then for the others, it's quite indefinite. My men and I would do everything possible to fasten the entire process. Just play your part, Ms. May, and it's a win-win on both sides.” he stops again and I lightly nod.

“Anything else?” he asks as if he's reading my mind.

“My Mom... I need to communicate with her, I need a cell phone too!”

“Lady, it's not advisable to use a cellphone at the moment, for safety’s sake. As regards your mother, the boss will see to it. No doubt!” Dimitri says. And why is he talking on behalf of the boss, what's their relationship anyway?! This is not happening, I get carried away like a prisoner and now I can't access a cell phone to talk to my mother? Then how am I going to live next week over here? My mind is clouded to the brink of it and nothing is actually helping.

I stand up to leave and the boss calls out my name.

“Ms. May?”

I turn to him slowly, I don't know what to do or say or how to react.

“Let's have a drink by the pool!” he suggests and I try to explain to him that I'm not interested and then he dismisses Dimitri, no complaints, the big guy leaves giving me a faint smile.

We both head to the pool as Raina serves us some dessert, and I wrap my arms tightly. She walks away and sits down on the deck chair but he takes my hands and gently lifts me to stand. My mind is racing faster than it has ever been for the past few hours. New place, new home, new actions... everything is new to me.

“I know how hard this is to you, my apologies anyway. I'm rather complicated I suppose, but you should relax. Handle our company's business while I handle the others. Is that okay?” he says calmly to me

“I'm concerned about my mother, I know that Dimitri has said—”

“I promise you that by morning, you'll speak with your mother. Fair?” he asks and I nod, I'm okay with it but I'd be better if it happens like he has said.

“It's fine. Thanks!” I tell him and he moves backward u buttoning his white shirt and I stand still.

He is a beauty to be honest, he's very sexy, manly, and physically fit, the muscles are a bunch and they are adding up to the beauty of his body. I've seen a few awkward moments with the boss but this is another one especially, I'm staring right into my boss’s pair of stern eyes whilst he is taking off his shirt. He then takes off his trousers and leaves behind his briefs, I'm staring at the fragments of his manhood, it's gorgeous and quite manly too. He draws closer to me with a faint snicker on the corners of his lips, and he leans down to my ear and whispers.

“Let's swim!”

His voice is divine and it's sending chills down my spine, I don't know why but I feel tingling in everything he does. He unties my sleeping robes, and they fall off to the ground. I can't stop him or say no, my lips are too tight. I'm left with a mini silky gown and I'm wearing nothing under it. I feel my nipples harden and my crotch throbbing here and there, I'm totally sent into a deeper sensual abyss. He dives into the water and when he plops up, he motions for me to swoop in too.

It's quite challenging to enter the same pool as my boss to swim, he is now a different man and it's complicated; just like he started earlier. I nod to disagree but he doesn't take my answer, I step on the stairs and soon I'm in the pool, both our bodies are covered except that our heads are hanging above the water. I'm thinking lightly while he paddles around like that's all he needs to come off a bad day, a series of things have happened and I just need to feel better and the coolness of the water is soothing and he’s making me nervous and salacious too. He comes up to me and his hands are wrapped around my waist, I'm freaking out in my mind. He tilts my jaw to stare at him intently and I'm doing just that.

“Do you... Trust that I'm not going to let anything happen to you?”

I don't know how to answer, he's told me that throughout the day, and now he's saying the same thing.

“Do you?” he asks again since I'm looking confused

“I don't know, besides I'm only an employee that needs to get her shit done—”

I start talking to him and I don't realise the moment his lips come crashing on mine, it's hungry and deliberate, it doesn't feel like a mistake, I want to push him away but my body isn't corresponding to my demands, I just give in. Something about him feels recognizable and known, I feel like I've known him, how, I do not know. He presses my body against his chest, he is older than I am with over ten years I guess but the feeling is fresh and it is past mutual, he's just an adventure I think I wanna explore. He kisses me again, nonstop, like he's letting out the pain he is going through him and I'm trying to figure out my feelings as well, we are both broken and deprived of something but what is best for us?

He slowly breaks the kiss and cups my face, his forehead resting on mine as her heaves a deep sigh, it's engrossing.

“Raven, I—”

“Boss? I'm sorry Boss but it's urgent.” I hear Dimitri interrupt, it's best that he did even if it's not deliberate; I'm dazed. The boss turns to him pissed off, his usual firmness returns to that beauty of his. I don't know why but I don't like to see him in such a manner, it bothers me that he has to be unhappy every goddamn time.

“Who? And what is?”

“It's Francisco! Please, we need you to respond!” Dimitri adds and he nods. However, he turns to me and gives me a forceful smile, he's not excited about what is happening nor am I.

“Dimitri would take you back to your room, please. I have to settle some matters at hand,” he explains to me very calmly and I nod affirmatively. We step out of the water as I attempt to pick up my night robes but my boss gets it before me and hands it over to me. He stares at me and I look downward, I can't look in the eye for long but then I realize that my nipples would pierce through my gown in the next minute.

“Thank you, sir!” I receive the robe and wear it as I attempt to further my steps.

“Good night Ms. May, you were helpful,” he adds and I nod and walk away with Dimitri. The huge guy leans in a bit and says to me.

“How slutty, you managed to seduce the boss! That's new around here, lady!”

“I didn't do it,” I tell him defiantly and he chuckles mockingly at me, I feel embarrassed. What's with this huge guy, he is bullying me over everything I do or I am caught doing.
