Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend

Anastasia's POV

    I let out a breathy moan as Kasper's mouth limply enclosed my nipples, sucking and gripping. I could never get over his touch, it brought about shocks of pleasure. I dug my nails into his back and wrapped my legs around his hips as he ran his tongue over my body in a way that made me forget every other thing. Was this hate sex? I wasn't exactly sure but we could tag like that from his own angle, sometimes getting me all confused with how gentle he was with me on bed.

      “ Who are you thinking of when you're with me?” He questioned and when I couldn't answer, he punished me with his wicked tongue as he buried his head between my legs making me moan and squirt.

   My mind went blank the moment he entered into me, I let out another moan to which he smirked. Raising my hips, I moved with him and matched his every thrust making sure never to let it slip out. He entered languorously at first but gradually moved up tempo as he passionately and forcefully thrust harder and deeper, as if in search of something. With the pressured fluidity that rushed into my body, I had a sudden satisfaction as he slipped out and the sticky fluid ran down my legs.

I hated how the blinding rays of light wouldn't let me sleep in. My head ached and my body was sore all over from last night. I wasn't even sure I get up with the number of times we made love.

“ You finally decided to wake up,” I heard Kasper's cold voice which made my eyes instantly pop open. I was terrified of him. I sat up quietly covering myself with the sheets as I watched him put on his tie - he was already headed to work.

“ Is it... Is it... Uhm,” I bit my lower lip. I wasn't sure how exactly I was to put this because Kasper wasn't in anyway considerate, especially not to me.

“ Are you planning on talking or did you lose your ability to talk last night? Because you were loud as fuck,” he said without looking at me. I was glad he didn't because I had turned tomato red from embarrassment.

“ I don't think I can go to work today,” I finally said, fondling with my fingers. “ Don't get me w-wrong!” I might have raised my voice a little from fear that he would instantly misunderstand.

“ It's not like I plan on slacking off but I feel sore all over and my legs are... Weak...” I paused unsure of what to say next. I really was feeling weak.

 “ What?” He scoffed. Just then a maid walked in making this conversation a little more awkward. “ So you don't want to go to work just because we had a few rounds of sex? ” He turned around to face me while the maid stood by the door watching us. He walked towards me.

“ I-I think you're getting this...,” I paused the moment he sat by my side on the bed. What was I even trying to say? It was exactly what he said.

“ Do you think the other workers in company that are married or dating go celibate because of work?” He started off by caressing my cheeks before squeezing my chin a bit too hard, I knew he did it intentionally - he never hurt me by mistake.

He ran his lips over my neck and my shoulders, before sucking hard on my neck. I kicked my legs beneath the sheet as my nipples stood erect.

“ You would have been granted a work exemption if only you were Aurelia,” he said detaching his mouth from my neck. His eyes were cold and tears welled up in my eyes, I clenched my fist. He always found a way to remind me.

Getting up, he walked towards the maid who had picked up his suit jacket from heaven's knows where and wore it.

“ If I were you, I wouldn't be sitting down in bed. You're going to be late and I'd be more than willing to fire a worker that slacks off,” he threatened as he walked out of the room. I quickly got out of bed, I couldn't lose the job. I needed the money.

“ I believe I don't have to sit around and watch you drink this, right?” The maid twisted her lips, dropping the tonic on the bedside table. She hated me and she didn't hide it one bit. I stared at the black obviously bitter looking tonic in disgust. Kasper had switched over from pills to tonics since I had fainted previously from taking after-sex pills, my body couldn't handle it anymore and yet he wouldn't let me go on birth control.

“ Don't worry, I can take it on my own,” I faked a smile and without hesitation, she left me. I poured the tonic in the bathroom sink, it was bitter and I had made up my mind not to take that disgusting thing.

   After taking a shower and dressing up, I ran down the stairs, wearing my suit jacket as I ran. I really was going to be late.

“ Anastasia, will you have breakfast?” Mrs. Margaret asked.

“ I believe you don't plan on having her eat with me,” what was he still doing here?

“ Technically, you're just going to be eating on the same dining table and it's a fifty seat dining,” she reminded him. “ I'm sure you can have all the space you need if she sits at the extreme end,” she and butler Luke were the only ones who actually liked me here.

  “ Well, I'm not going to eat on the same dining table as her,” he really found me repulsive.

“ Mrs. Margaret, thanks for the offer but I don't have time for breakfast. Maybe another day,” I excused myself as I walked out of the dining room. I bumped into Butler Luke.

“ Be careful,” he held my shoulders.

“ Sorry but thank goodness you're here,” I felt relieved. “ I'm running late for work, is it okay if I take a driver?” 

“ Sure, you can...”

“ No, you can't,” Kasper's voice towered over his as he stood up from his seat. “ I don't remember giving you the permission to use any of my cars,” he looked at me with twisted brows as he walked passed me to where his personal assistant stood - I hadn't noticed him before now.

“ But I...,”

“ Take a look, you have just fifteen minutes to go,” he said looking at his watch. “ If you start running now, you might just make it in time but what am I kidding,” he snickered. “ You might as well get a box to pack your things on your way to the company,” he continued, grinning evilly.

“ Let's get going, Steve,” he said to his personal assistant as he walked out. He had really planned out how he would fire me this time but I had to prove to him that I wasn't easy to get rid off.

Picking my bag of files, I had determined to spend money on a cab today as I usually would trek but that wasn't an option. I quickly rushed out of the mansion and flagged down a cab - Kasper’s car had already gone. As the cab I was in approached the company, traffic begun - it was like the human race was against me! 

I looked at my watch, I had just six minutes to go before I was officially late and giving how bad the traffic was I wouldn't make it if I waited.

“ I'll drop off here,” I paid the driver his money and dashed out of his car in the middle of traffic. The option was to run as the company was still a bit far for walking distance.

Running into the company building, my heart beat faster and faster as other workers watched as I sprinted across the lobby. I pressed the elevator button but nothing was happening.

“ Urgh!!” I grunted in frustration. Checking my time, I had just four minutes left. I quickly opened the door leading to the stairways and ran up the stairs as I prayed to beat the time.

“ Present!” I yelled as I entered the meeting room, facing CEO Kasper directly. My department had a meeting with him this morning. “ I'm present,” I said, my hands on my knees as I panted. Just then the long hand hit nine.

“ Just in time for the meeting, Ms. Anastasia,” he had an evil grin on his face. I had nearly fallen into his trap, I was lucky.

 “ We can start the meeting now.”
