“I don’t mix business with pleasure. Ever” that was the first thing he said to me. Marcus Wayne, he was arrogant, a playboy, handsome as the day is long, one of the most eligible bachelors in the city and also my boss so I didn’t mind. But that didn’t stop me from crushing on him, falling for him and ultimately falling into his bed. It was one night only, or so I thought, because now I’m pregnant and he wont let me go. One problem, I’m not sure I want him to.
Lihat lebih banyakI open my eyes and I’m first met with the bright early morning sun. I lift a palm and run it over my face to clear my eye sight before looking around. The unfamiliar environment startles me but what really causes an alarm and a sudden wild beating of my heart in my chest, is the man who lies on the bed with me. A very familiar man whose thick strong arm also happens to be wrapped around my waist.
This is so bad… This is really, incredibly bad. I’m naked, and my boss Marcus Wayne is similar naked and laying beside me in a deep sleep. To ensure I don’t startle him awake, I arise slowly from my laying position on the bed and use two fingers, my pointy finger and thumb to remove his heavy arm that is possessively curved around my waist. I throw the blanket covering us and stand from the bed. Yes, I am indeed fully naked. As I start to panic at the insanity of it all, my memories from last night floods into my mind. Me and Marcus going on a gala together Marcus heavy gaze roaming all over my body wrapped in my gold mesh evening gown- and while I had initially concluded that I was imagining that part, our state of undress is making me doubt. Before last night, Marcus Wayne for the three years I have been working for him as his executive secretary has never given me any reason to believe that he is attracted to me. And if I ever had doubted that, the millions of one night stand he sleeps with day after day is enough to prove it. I continue to remember the events of last night and recall Marcus winning the award for New York entrepreneur of the year Then, Marcus and I sipping glasses upon glasses of champagne to celebrate, followed by me helping a drunk Marcus to his hotel room…. Wait, I look around my surroundings once more, but this isn’t my hotel room. If I can recall correctly, this is Marcus’s room. The penthouse suite because nothing less than the best for the king, Mr. Wayne. So how did we end up here? How did I end up on his bed? I’m not done asking myself internal monologue questions when more memories flood my brain. This time, the memories are filled with images that would ruin the mind of any normal person. I blush like a virgin bride during her first time on her wedding night as I recall x rated memories of my boss, Marcus Wayne kissing me like a starved man and me kissing him back like a desperate lust-filled seductress. I remember Marcus pulling my hair to grant him more access, ripping my dress- Bloody hell! My dress! I immediately turn around in my full naked glory and go about searching for the brand new evening dinner gown I purchased just last week and love more than I love anything else at the moment. I find my gown but it is little more than strips of clothing pieces now. “Damn it!” I curse aloud before quickly clapping a palm over my mouth as if to force the words back inside. I look behind me to the bed and exhale a breath of relief when I see Mr. Wayne is still sleeping sounding. Now that my eyes are set on him, I’m unable to look away. I move my gaze over my insanely attractive boss, from his silky dark brown hair like the color of rich undiluted coffee, to his high cheekbones and perfectly shaped jawline. The blanket that was covering us but now him alone, is haphazardly placed lowly on his hips giving me a full view of his toned, tan absolutely lick-able chest and pecs. Speaking of the word lick-able, I remember doing a lot of that last night, multiple times. In between begging him not to stop and to do more of whatever he was doing. I bite my button lip at the memory. I am in so much trouble. What am I going to do when he wakes up? I’m going to get fired I just know it. One of Mr. Wayne’s unbreakable rules is that he never mixes business and work, with pleasure. And now, we have just done that. I remember about six months ago, a leaked email correspondence between a previous staff, Victoria and her colleague in the company’s public relations department revealed Victoria saying she would give just about anything including her salary for an entire year to spend a single night in Mr. Wayne’s bed and when my boss who is also the company’s CEO, heard of it, he informed human resources to fire her with immediate effect. In his words, “if my staffs are too busy eye-fucking and daydreaming about me, they won’t get their jobs done” That is how stern he is with his no mixing business with pleasure rule. And now, I have gone and wrecked right through it. Sleeping with my boss? And loving the hell out of it? Absolute insanity. Should I wake him up and start begging and apologizing? Or should I just run the hell away, maybe move out of New York while at it? “Ugh!” I groan out loudly in frustration and regret it instantly the next second when I see Mr. Wayne shift into a different position. He is waking up. I’m surprised he is still sleeping at this hour, I know him well enough to know he has a rigorous life schedule that includes waking up ridiculously early. My choice on what I should do is taken away from me when I see Mr. Wayne yawn sleepily. I just know he is about to open his eyes any moment from now and the panic gets me moving. Rapidly, I grab my dress but it is way to ripped to be worn so I exchange it for Marcus's white dress shirt that is also lying on the floor. My room is on the floor beneath his so I just need to ensure my private parts are covered and pray that I don’t run into anyone while using the elevator. I button the shirt and thankfully it is long enough that it comes to my mid thighs. Marcus is as huge as I am tiny and while I always hated how he intimidated me with his height by looking down on me with annoyance whenever I do something he dislikes, I’m thankful for the difference now. I grab my gold dress because… well just because. My high heeled shoes I grab as well by the dainty straps than lastly, my tiny clutch. Then I make my way to the door as quickly as I can before Marcus wakes up and catches me fleeing from his room wearing only his shirt.**The card came home with me. I couldn’t get a courier to deliver it, I couldn’t risk it. Just thinking of the consequences if it got lost, mixed up with some other delivery, or stolen. And I sure as hell couldn’t leave it in the office. I put on an exfoliating face mask after my shower, all this working was going to give me premature wrinkles and gray hair, I stand in front of my bathroom fifteen minutes later to wipe it off I put on some serums and moisturizer over my face, neck, and chest. Pulling down the front of my bathrobe to massage the products into my skin. I’d noticed a recent soreness in my boobs. I cup the right one then the left, my nipples immediately budding in my palms, fat and plump. My back arched as goosebumps spreads along my chest despite the heat in the bathroom from my hot bath. I took a moment to examine my body, other than the heaviness in my boobs, there were no other physical changes yet. I brought down my hands and righted my robe, returning to my bed
I groaned, “I had a shitty day, don’t even remind me,” I say when the elevator slid open and I made my way to my apartment. I’d been a little surprised when I saw the elevator was working this morning on my way to work. I’m sure it’ll be closed for maintenance soon though like everything else in this house.“Maybe you two are moving too fast?” Will questioned, on my screen, he moved into a dimly lit room and popped his phone somewhere as he moved around.Marcus’s driver Mr. James had dropped me off at the front of my house, Marcus had a work thing and I was invited. I had just stepped on the elevator when Will called me and I gave him the two four on my day. To which he was annoyed on my behalf and pleased when he learned Marcus had shown Brie and Renee the door.He was also proud I’d defended myself. Unlike someone. “Tell me about it” I grumbled and got out my keys, unlocking my door, I shoved it open.I heard the sound of rushing liquid and the clicking of glasses. Will returned i
“What the fuck were you thinking?” He snapped the second the door closed.I spun around to face him, “Me? I didn’t do anything, they started it” I frowned, surely he didn’t buy into any of that, they were clearly playing the victim. I’m the victim here. And I did not appreciate being scolded. With the shit they said to me, Brie should be glad all she got was a smack across the face.“And so you thought it best to get into a physical altercation while pregnant with my child? They could have retaliated, you could have been harmed, if Stacy had delayed in getting to my office, a little accident is all it takes!” The force of his glower had me taking another step back.I did wonder what brought him to the ladies' room. Stacy must have heard about it from the peeping tom and ran straight to Marcus.He began pacing. “Just this morning you promised me you were being careful, getting into fights is the complete opposite” he pointed at me, drawing to a pause.My jaw met the floor for the se
“Feel better?” I blinked slowly, glancing around, “What am I doing here?”“You fell asleep” Oh. I stifled a yawn, scratching the name of my neck. “What the time?” “Just in time for lunch, I have to wonder if your body is conditioned to know when is close to feeding time”I wiped my face with the back of my hand “Hey, I’m eating for two, so don’t judge”"Of course, thank you for your hard work."I got up shoving my feet back into my pumps one after the other. “Is my phone here?” “Come see me when you return” he says and I turn to leave. “Aye, Aye Captain Wayne” I met Stacy in the lobby and we headed out for our lunch where I was pointed at and stared at until we left. I couldn’t even eat my meal in peace. Some took pictures as discreetly as they could manage, pictures I was sure would be showing up on social media in the next minute. It was annoying. I ended up wishing I’d order some takeout and ate at my desk instead. “Dude, you’re famous” Stacy had exclaimed when I showed her m
I kept my eyes straight as I walked to my desk, sat and when I was in the secured space of my cubicle, I dropped my hands to my palms smiling like a loon, what the hell was that? A giggle burst out of me, trapped behind my palm and another. One moment we were arguing, or at least I had been and then he was- and it was-I didn’t want to think about it. I didn’t want to give it a name. I had no idea Marcus could be like that, so gentle and soft and sweet, as though he didn’t want to scare me off and I felt the electricity all the way to my toes. My gosh. So different from the first time, it had been rushed, with a bit of stumbling as we were both intoxicated.This was skilful, seductive, perfection.I swiped my hands all over my face. I needed to stop thinking about it. About him.If only there was a way to turn off my brain, but now, instead it was doing a rewind, replaying the kiss over and over again. My nipples tightened behind my bra, warmth curling in my belly at the memory a
I have been having the hiccups for the past fifteen minutes all because I am avoiding the break room, I couldn’t concentrate, I could feel a headache blooming at the back of my skull due to dehydration, my neck hurts from the constant bobbing of my head and my tongue felt paper dry. This was getting ridiculous. Another five minutes and I’d had enough, I shoved my chair back got my bottle and marched with purpose towards the break room. If they wanted to talk let them talk. The door was opened so I walked right in calling out a “hello” as I made my way to the water dispenser where I immediately filled my bottle, gulped it down and filled it again. The tightness in my temples receding. As I drink, I see Louis and Ted pack up their half done coffee and race to the door almost bumping into Stacy on the way mumbling their appologies. I rolled my eyes and tipped my bottle back swallowing more chilled water.“How’s it going?”“Oh, just dandy, did you see how they rushed to get away from m
I didn’t see Marcus for the rest of the morning as he had some meeting with an external client and I was glad for it in fear that I might actually strangle him and then I'd get fired as Wayne Tech had a strict no-violence policy or spend the rest of my life behind bars if I was actually successful. With the way I am feeling, it may actually be the latter. And then who would take care of my baby?I can’t believe the stunt he pulled. After what he did yesterday too.I don’t know why has me more annoyed, that he went ahead and did this without even so much as asking me or how pleased he was about my reaction, as though it was an amusing pesky fly.I kept going back to the blog and other blogs that ran the news. The comments didn't let up, didn't think it was going to any moment soon, I don’t know which is worse, the dudes or the ladies. I didn’t know what I expected that they would be all nice and throw their heartfelt congratulations. “It’s a good thing, you know how many women are
They were still on this? Really? It was a new day for goodness sake. Surely some other interesting thing should have occurred to get the interest off me. Some celebrity scandal? A cheating couple caught? Anything? This is New York after all. It was one scandal after another. I almost feel bad for them for being popular but I guess it was the price of fame.I kept my eyes forward placing one foot in front of the other as I made my way to the elevator pushed the call button and waited for the car to arrive. Thankfully I didn’t have to wait too long before it arrived and I jumped in, except a few others got in alongside me and the weird looks continued. Haha. Jokes on them but a little staring and reprimand from the boss was not the end of the world. And as long as I had a job here, they had to deal with it. Period. I offered a curt nod to an older gentleman, Mr Philip who worked in the mailing room on the fifth floor. At least he was nice enough to meet my eyes this fine
I was wrong. Marcus Wayne is not sweet and not soft. The day starts out like every other, going over his schedule like we do every morning, confirming meetings with other personal assistants and secretaries over the phone, and then going over reports, and attending a few meetings, so, a normal morning. And then by afternoon, I have my chair leaned as far back as possible, my shoes off, to get the blood flowing back into my feet that’s been pinched in the heeled peep toes I wore today, a cute pair but damn, there was a pain.I have my cell tucked between the side of my cheek and shoulder, chewing slightly on the end of a pen.“He can be so over-controlling it’s getting out of hand Pen, because he is an investor in my company he thinks he can tell me how to run my own company,” Will said over the phone making me frown. I was well aware of his rocky relationship with his dad.While Will was what most people would refer to as a trust fund baby, Will was very hard working. I like Marcus
