Chapter 3: In Denial

RONALD

It has not been a walk in the park working with Jeffrey. Of course he is good at his job, but that is not the only thing he was good at.

I’ve woken up almost every morning since then with a hard on from me having sexual dreams with him, only to see him at the office completely clueless of the hold he has on me.

“Sir the meeting with the partners would start in 15 minutes.” Jeffrey said as he entered my office.

I raised a brow “Sir? How did we go from Ronald to Sir?”

“Well, technically, you’re my boss. So?”

I rubbed my forehead. He was totally determined to make what is between us strictly business. “You don’t have to do that Jeffrey.”

“I don’t want to get too familiar.” He said standing nervously close to the door.

I scoffed, he always comes up with new things. Just to push me further away. I picked up my tab and walked towards him. “Why is that, Jeffrey?”

I didn’t let him speak closing in on him. “Is it because of the way you might feel if you do? Is it because you might find it harder to keep it as just business?”

“N-no. It has nothing to do with that.” He said holding my gaze, he moved back as I came closer to him. Step by step till his back hit the door.

I didn’t stop till I was only a breath away from him. “Talk to me Jeffrey.”

He gulped taking his eyes to look at anything else but me...

I stared at his eyes imaging the nasty things being this close to him made me think of. I wanted to bring my dreams to reality with him, but I couldn’t force him.

My hands slid beside his waist and reached for the door knob. “Excuse me Jeffrey, I have a meeting to attend to.”

I nodded my head listening to what the men in suit were pitching. I took a quick glance at Jeffrey and caught him as he averted his gaze, pretending to focus.

A small smile flashed at the corner of my lips, he had been quiet since we left the office. I sighed, wondering if he actually meant it thinking he wasn’t into men when he acted this way around me. When he enjoyed it that night so much.

My secretary came to meet me when the meeting ended. “Sir, your flight is ready.”

“Have you informed Jeffrey?”

“No sir, I’d let him know sir.”

“He doesn’t have to get anything ready, everything he needs would be taken care of.”

“Yes sir.” She closed the door behind her as she left.

It wasn’t up to two minutes, Jeffrey knocked. “You could have told me earlier.” He said immediately he got in.

“Told you what?”

“Don’t play dumb. You could’ve told me about the flight.” He put his hands in his pocket to act all tough.

“Sometimes, I think you just find any excuse to show up in my office.” I closed my laptop to focus on him. He raised a brow at me.

“It skipped my mind, but we have to check out the company we are buying today. We might also be there for three days.”

“Three days?”

“Yes, meet me on the rooftop helipad in an hour.”

Jeffrey sighed. “I’m guessing I don’t have any say on that.”

“You can say what you want, but nothing changes.”

He opened his mouth to speak but he didn’t. He just rolled his eyes and left.

JEFFREY

I folded my arms and scooted away from Ronald, I don’t know what it was but he made me angry. I took a deep breath. I shouldn’t let him affect my energy.

I looked outside the helicopter window and took in the view below me. It was beautiful.

It wasn’t long before the helicopter landed on a field. We alighted and walked toward a building. His guards trailing slowly behind us.

“Welcome sirs.” A man and lady greeted as we came in.

“Thank you.” Ronald responded and turned to look at me. “Make yourself comfortable... you should rest for the meeting tomorrow.”

“Where should I stay?” my voice came out more politely than intended.

“The maid would show you to your room.” He signaled to the lady, she nodded as she directed me.

The room was... exactly to my taste, from the bed frame design to the sheets. I wondered if he had thought this through or it was just a coincidence. I walked in the closet to find a couple of suits and casual outfits. They were only the brand I wore.

Did he really put much thought to this?

I decided to freshen up and change.

The bath was relaxing, I hung a towel over my neck and stepped out of the bathroom. I screamed when I saw Ronald in the room and quickly used the towel to cover my dick.

“What the fuck man?” I shouted.

He acted like nothing weird just happened. “I wanted to confirm if everything was to your liking?”

“It is, now can I have some privacy?”

“Why?” he asked his voice dangerously low, he was obviously enjoying this. “You have a problem dressing up in front of guys? I wonder why.”

“Ronald, don’t do this right now.” I said ignoring him and walked into the closet. I felt him follow behind me, I turned to face him. “Ronald stop.”

He didn’t, he kept coming closer. His eyes were dark and alluring. “I’m trying… but you are so hard to resist Jeffrey.”

The way he called my name twisted something in me. “Stop Ronald. I’m not fucking interested in that.” I said moving further away from him.

“Are you lying to me or yourself?” he asked as he closed the distance between us. This was the second time he tried to push me in this position, and deep down, I hated how little I fought it. I wasn’t trying enough to get out of it. I clutched my towel closer to myself.

He leaned in and brought his lips towards mine. I could feel his breathe on me. His scent.

I closed my eyes as my body anticipated what would come next.
