15: A few more seconds
I can no longer think of anything but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you. I grasp you, I kiss you, I caress you, a thousand of the most amorous caresses take possession of me.
Honore de BalzacHis hands are in his pocket and he has a not so happy look on his face as he demands, "What part of come 'find me' did you not get gatita?"
"Sassy gatita, the needle might be small but a slight pierce will make you bleed." He counters crudely.
I swallow hard and look away because to an extent I know he doesn't mean this literally and I think I know what's he's talking abo

His Dark Desires 16: A bond she makes
'Passion' a word which involves so many feelings. I feel it when we touch; I feel it when we kiss; I feel it when I look at you. For you are my passion; my one true love.S. Richardson"Is there anything to do?" I ask, joining Zander in the kitchen. He seems to be busy with the cleaning of the toaster and microwave."There are a few," he answers, pointing to the dishes in the sink. It is the weekend and Lauren doesn't come on weekends so we do all the work ourselves and so without any sort of complain, I move over and do the work, "I must ask, what happened to you?"I understand his question and so I don't try to act like I don't. "I guess I realise that I have spent the past two years buried in work and let's be honest these are the years that I have to have fun.""What's speaking through you Alex," he grabs me by my shoulder and shakes me violently and if it wasn't Zander shaking me, I would
His Dark Desires 17: Here she gets offended
"We efface an hour by passionate love, without twists, without aftertaste. When it is finished, it is not finished, we lie still in each other's arms lulled by our love, by tenderness -- sensuality in which the whole being can participate."~Anais NinFor the next three hours that pass, I bury myself in paperwork and I don't stop until my phone begins to ring. I drop my pen and pick up my phone and on it is the name Zack as the caller ID.I smile warmly, pick the call and place the phone to my ear, "Hello Zack."There is a hesitation before he speaks up, "Hey Alex, you okay?""I am okay, but you on the other hand sound like you're not," I state with a curious tone. "Is everything okay Zack?""Yes," there is still a hesitation in his answer and unsureness in his voice. "I wanted to talk to you about last night." He trails off."Okay?" I drag out wanting him to continue.
His Dark Desires 18: She apologizes for her offense
"Sorry means you leave yourself open, to embrace or to ridicule or to revenge. Sorry is a question that begs forgiveness, because the metronome of a good heart won’t settle until things are set right and true. Sorry doesn’t take things back, but it pushes things forward. It bridges the gap. Sorry is a sacrament. It’s an offering. A gift."~Craig SilveyA painful feeling sets in my chest and my voice only comes out a little to ask, "You're leaving?"He keeps bringing his clothes and shoving them into the bag, not bothering to looks at me, "What does it look like?"Watching him pack his stuff together is painful much more painful than I can ever imagine, "Because I hit you?"He turns to me with an astonished look, but his eyes are glassy, "Jesus Christ Alex! After everything that has happened in the last thirty minutes hitting me is the only reason you see?""It's because of Rekiya then, because
His Dark Desires 19: His first time ever
"I wanted the heat and the sweat and the passion of a man that I could love and trust. And I wanted to give myself to him: not for advantage, but for desire.Philippa GregoryZanderAs the elevator opens on the second floor, I step out and make my way to the door with the inscription 4B on it and I knock on it. After the second knock, it opens and there stands Havana with a bright smile, wearing pink pyjamas, her hair is in a loose ponytail and her face has no makeup on. She'd told me earlier when she called about her illness and her face clearly shows she was telling the truth and for someone who is a little unwell, she still looks good.She steps out of the way and ushers me in. "You came," she says, as she shuts the door; her voice happy and need I say gratefully."I said I will, these are for you," I say and pull my left hand out from my back and handed her the white roses in it. "I didn't know which would
His Dark Desires 20: The high expectations
“The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.”George MooreAlexanderArriving before the board members have always been a tradition that I've maintained for the past two years unless of course, I was absent0 from the meeting. So like those other days, I woke up early and was dressed and made my way out of the house even before Zander woke. I arrive at the company a minute to 8 a.m and start for the boardroom, after dropping my bag, leaving only the files in my hand in hope to wait for the rest of the members as the meeting is still scheduled to take place in about an hour.After the truth talk I had with Zack, he left because I couldn’t look him in the eyes and lie to him and so I told him that if Rogue offered me relationship, I
His Dark Desires 21: The meeting going Rogue
"So, what can't you take? Decide which of the two options is harder, and do the other. That way, no matter how hard your choice turns out to be, at least you can find comfort in knowing you're avoiding something even worse."~Josephine AngeliniI immediately glance at my wristwatch and realise that it’s twenty minutes to nine AM and the board meeting is supposed is to begin soon. I look back up and see that they are all still at the door and silently staring between Rogue and me in scrutiny and I’m about to dismiss their obvious though and tell them that nothing has happened and Rogue was just earlier than expected but that would not be believable because in the past ten to fifteen seconds that the other board members have stepped into the room Rogue hasn’t given then a glance as his gaze and full attention is completely fixed on me.“Mr Von Quaint you are already here!” Idara
His Dark Desires 22: One true family
"There are people of spirit and there are people of passion but much less common that one might think. Rarer still are the people of passion and spirit. But rarest of all is a passionate spirit."-- Martin BuberMy failure started when I didn't plan ahead of time, when I didn't think to counter every question and argument Rogue presented my way and never should have given him the ground to throw my ideas out the way he did and since it's my fault and his idea is the one we are now going along with, I should have voiced out that I didn't want to be part of it, but as I tare between the nine faces seated around the table eight of which belong to my board members, I wonder how they'd look at me if I decided to pull out at the last stop. I'd give them more reason to consider me incompetent and unequal to the task of managing and handling things even when under pressure."Mrs Paige, do you agree with this decision?" Ivan Bassey a board member asks
His Dark Desires 23: It's called responsibility
"Take time to accept responsibility. Your life is exactly that--it's your life. It is created by you. You are constantly making choices, constantly creating new experiences. And although we can be affected by circumstances which can seem to be completely out of our control, essentially, we decide the direction in which we walk."~Nicholas WatkinsWe arrive at Chickens Republic ten minutes later and it seems he already made reservations because the waiter meets us on the way and leads us to our table which is already filled with food.Julian draws me a chair and I sit, "Life is filled with unforeseen happening you always tell me, but you went ahead to make reservations even without you being sure I would come." I remark somewhat questionably as I pick up my fork and knife.He takes his seat and clears his throat, "It has to do with faith.""I don't believe in God, Julian," I dismiss before it can get worse and
