GUEL
I could still feel his warmth in my hands, the way he pressed against me. It took all my willpower not to lean down and steal a kiss, but I held back. All the years I had studied him, I hadn't gotten anything about his sex life. He was almost like a monk, and I couldn't tell whether he was gay or not. Even if he wasn't, I would have to show him the ropes. He made me fall for him even though I wasn't gay. Now he has to pay the price by doing the same for me.
I drove back home, barely containing the smile on my face. This was the closest I had been to him, and I was aching to do more than hold him.
“Welcome back, boss,” Mark, the new security guard I employed a month ago, greeted, smiling as he waved at me. I nodded in response and drove into the compound so he could lock the gate behind him.
I inhaled the familiar scent of blooming flowers as I got out of my car, wondering what Asher would think of this place. I bought it for him, after all, and had been preparing it for when I would bring him over. It wouldn't be that long. I can feel it.
I rubbed my hand under my chin, thinking back to the day I had an interview with him. From the way he looked at me, I knew I acted well, playing the part of an innocent man with a sob story. As if.
I had to do what I could to get the job, and acting like a poor lad was the fastest way to do that. It made him give me the job without minding my lack of work experience.
“Mr Black,” Elvis, my butler and assistant, greeted me when I let myself into the house. He must have heard me enter and was already waiting by the door for me.
“Is everything alright?” I lifted my brow.
“Yes, sir.” He followed behind me, filling me up on everything. “The meeting was successful. I bought the shares like you requested.”
“Alright.” I waved him off, heading straight to the stairs.
“Sir,” he called.
I paused. “What?”
“Dinner is ready. Should I have it sent to your room or —”
“Don't bother. I will eat it in the dining room.” I continued up the stairs, heading towards my room. I needed to do something, something that had taken over my entire thoughts from the time I touched him.
Looking down at my hand, a small smile graced my lips. I couldn't wait. In my room, I removed my slacks and boxers and sat on the bed, reaching for the lube I kept by the bed.
For the first time since I knew what it meant to touch myself, I didn't use his pictures. The image of his soft skin under me was so vivid, so raw, I needed nothing else.
Lubing up my fingers, I reached for my dick. All I required was just to think about my pretty boss, for my dick to stand, eager.
Soon, I promised myself, I will have him under me just like I had always wanted, like I had dreamed since that first meeting.
“Fuck,” a cuss left my lips the second my palm closed around my dick, fisting it. I imagined Asher on his knees, eager to please me, begging to take my cock into his mouth.
I groaned as the image became so vivid, it felt like he was in the room with me, geared up in the bondage outfits I kept in my secret room, his mouth open, and his eyes pleading.
“You want this, don't you?” I rasped, looking down at the conjured man. “You want it so badly, don't you?”
“Yes, sir,” he whispered, calling me by a title I had used for him for the past week. Hearing it from his lips sent me into overdrive. I let out another groan, increasing the slide of my fingers. Lubed up, it wasn't difficult for me.
Soon, I was panting, my pace picking up the more aroused I got. With one palm on my dick, I reached for the napkin on my bedside table, just in time to capture my release.
“Fuck you, Asher,” I growled, plopping down on the bed as my chest rose and fell in fast rhythm until it slowed down.
Still dazed from what I just did, I stood up from the bed and strode over to the only door on the right side of my room. I placed my right thumb on the sensor to unlock it.
This was my most secret room, the one I made for Asher was the second. Stepping in, a smile from the latest picture I got of him, welcomed me.
The room was like an altar, a sanctuary I created. Back when I first met him, I had religiously taken his pictures and pinned them on the wall of my closet until it got full, so I had to get a separate room for him.
I was obsessed, in love with a man who didn't even recognise me when we met 8 years later. I didn't blame him, though. I was little then, hardly had any muscles. It was after meeting him that I decided to bulk up so I could protect him.
I didn't mind that he was 15 years older than me. To me, age is a number. At 27, he made a 12-year-old fall for his smiles and kindness, giving me something to live for. Back then, my parents were going through a divorce, and it was telling on me.
I would have ended it that week after our school sports meet, but fate brought him to my side, showing me what awaited me if I stayed alive, and I did. For him, I have been living for 8 years, doing everything I could to get close to him, and now that I was close, I couldn't wait…
Guel poked his head in, smiling. My heart, which had been seeking excuses to jump out of my chest, picked up from where it stopped as he stepped into my office, looking more handsome than I had ever seen him. The purple button-down shirt he wore had three buttons open, going against the rules in the office about the number of open buttons allowed, but my eyes weren't complaining. My eyes ran down to his dark blue slacks and office shoes before they returned to his face, my cheeks heating when I realized he was staring at me.I coughed to ease the awkwardness. “What are you doing here?” I tried to sound as professional as I could without giving out my flipping stomach with restless butterflies flapping around, seeking an escape route. I rose, grabbed the bouquet, and looked around for the place I would keep it before dropping it back after I realized I didn't have much better options. Awkwardly, I stood there, looking at him.He grinned. “I came to see you. Thought we could go through
He was taken aback by that. Blinking, he glanced at the choker I had given him, his brows furrowed. “Why? Didn't you say you liked it?” He stared at my hand without moving to take what I was offering. Yeah, I loved it, a little too much. If only it were mine. He bought it for the lady he liked. He didn't have me in mind when he purchased it. It wasn't for me, else I would have shown my appreciation in ways he would have loved.I shook my head. “I don't like it. I only accepted the choker because you wanted me to do that, nothing else.”I knew I was lying, but that was the only way to keep my feelings hidden from him. I strode to my couch, with the choker still in my palm. It hurts, thinking of parting with it now that I'd felt the thrill, the rush that comes with getting gifted something I had always wanted, even if it wasn't meant for me.“But —”“Just give it to the woman you choose. I'm certain they will appreciate it.” Even at that, I didn't let the choker go. I gripped it hard,
He smiled, shook his head if what he was about to ask was absurd. I stared hard at my feet, embarrassed by how readily I was to do whatever he asked. If only he weren't so innocent, he would have known my love for him. I didn't need to stare long at the mirror to know the face I had while staring at him. When I looked up, I noticed he was still warring with my mind and had to step in. "What's it?"I was practically begging with my eyes for him to tell me what it was. I was far gone, eager to know what it was and hoping secretly that it would be something thrilling. Since he had just asked to see the choker on me, surely, he would ask for something along that line. Right?"Can I... Can I..." He rubbed the back of his neck and averted his gaze. I stared, waiting for him to tell me what it was before my stupid mouth blurted something absurd out."I know this is too much to request, but I've decided." He held my gaze this time. I wondered if his eyes had looked so green as they did at
Not for the first time I wondered if he had a thing for me, staring at me like that as if he couldn't get enough of me, but I knew it was all in my mind. There was no way someone like him would actually like me. It was impossible.He got up from the couch and stalked towards…Okay, he didn't stalk towards me. It was just my deranged mind believing otherwise, despite knowing it was no use.“You look good,” he breathed, his gaze not leaving my neck as he advanced closer, practically in a slow-mo. My cheeks heated, and I averted my gaze to hide the flush on them. I liked how he sounded, almost like he was enthralled by me. “What do you like more, the choker on me or…?” I bit back those words before my desperation could make me say them out loud. I wasn't that desperate. Or am I?“I was right. It fits you perfectly,” he continued, having not heard my question. I should have been glad about that, grateful he didn't catch those remarks, but I wasn't.“Can you turn so I can see how it looks
Guel's look of awe didn't ease even when we stepped into my apartment. That it was the penthouse made him almost lose his cool. He couldn't stop admiring the place, his eyes sparkling like a kid who had been nowhere in the city but the company.“Have a seat,” I gestured to the couch, walking over to my minibar to get a drink, before I paused. “What would you like to have? I have practically any drink you want.”“Do you have a beer?”I almost did a double-take at his request. I was expecting him to request water, juice, or something. Isn't that what an innocent twenty-year-old would ask for?“Mr Asher?”Blinking, I forced a smile to hide the nerves, “Yeah, I do. I will get it for you. Just relax.” I changed my course since he didn't order for wine, and went to my fridge to get the beer for him. Returning to the parlour, I placed the can of beer on the table, my hands shaking at his stare. I stood back, the nervous smile still on my face. “Enjoy.”He flashed a smile and picked up the
ASHERDamn it, Ash, you need to stop thinking Guel has a thing for you. Just because he asked to see the damned choker on you doesn't mean he likes you. He has a lady he's madly in love with, one he wants to please. He's straight, not gay! I tried to tell myself, but it seemed like my body only knew how to react to his name, and my damned heart seemed to have fallen deeply in love with him. 'No, this isn't right.'I had lived longer than him and hadn't fallen for anyone. I loved being free, but…. Okay, I'd always dreamt of being loved, of having the perfect daddy, a Dom who would take the reins. Guel just isn't the man. He's too soft, younger than me, and knows shit about intimacy. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still a virgin. He's just as clueless as fuck, wouldn't even know what to do with his dick if a woman is naked…Right? So why do I always feel bad when he speaks to women? I shouldn't, right? Someone as clueless as Guel wouldn't be the perfect daddy for me. Even though he
