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 Was I moving too fast? I saw the opportunity and took it. I didn't plan on requesting to see the collar on him. Hell, I thought he would reject it, throw it on my face while spewing insults at me for thinking he was a dumpsite for everything my so-called lover rejected. I had prepared for the worst, but just a look at him, and I couldn't help it. The way he stared at the choker with that poker face of his made me want to stretch this. I knew I shouldn't, but...Well, I had done it, gotten him to agree to take me to his house so I could see the choker on him. Gulping, I leaned on the wall and closed my eyes. The hallway had never smelled so good. It was the same flowery scent of the passive scent diffuser, but it smelled wonderful together. "Mr Lee?"I snapped my eyes open, the small smile on my lips turning into a frown as I stared at Rose's smiling face. Fuck. Why does she have the worst timing ever?I pushed away from the wall and folded my arms. "Yes?" "Where have you b
I froze, my heart stilling for a second before it started beating fast. I lost all coherent thoughts, my grip tightening hard on the leather. Did I say those words out loud? "I... It's just... I don't think I will get a refund from the store, and I bought it with the money I earned in my last part-time job." He peered down, his cheeks colouring. "You don't have to accept it."Why won't I when he looked like he might cry if I don't? I turned the leather in my hand, loving the feel. Though I wasn't happy he got it for someone else, I couldn't refuse it. I'd always wanted to get something like this from my dom, a sort of ownership claim. It was a dream I'd had for as long as I could remember. Now that I had gotten one, I couldn't bear to give it back. I wouldn't, even if he asked. "I will take it." I gripped it tight, afraid he might change his mind and ask it back. It was mine now. "Really?" His face lit up like a kid on Christmas morning. "Yeah." I opened my top drawer and placed
ASHERI shouldn't have given in to him, should have put my legs down and refused, but I couldn't resist those cute eyes that had no business in a body like his. He made it impossible for me to back down, to refuse him, and now, staring at the bouquet of roses on my table, I wondered if it was too late to take my words back. I ran my fingers through my hair, letting out a sigh for the sixth time that day. Sitting back in my chair, I rang his office. As if he knew I was looking for him, Guel picked up. "Hello?""Come to my office," I said, disconnecting before he could say anything. My gaze returned to the flowers as I recalled how much my stomach had flipped when I saw it, only for my mood to dampen when I realised he liked someone else. I wasn't the lady he had pinned over for eight years, the one he looked so in love with. Eyes don't lie. I had seen the admiration in his eyes as he spoke about her, like she put the stars up in the sky. He looked so in love, I couldn't hide my jeal
GUELHe's jealous... I really hope he is. I'd seen him watch me for a week, always fuming whenever I was with Rose, but I never realised he was jealous until today. The way he kept mentioning Rose to me, hinting that we were together, made me want to tease him. I still didn't know if he was gay or just furious I was talking to another employee. If it were the latter, it would mean he wasn't jealous, but if it turned out to be the former…. I looked down at him and smiled. It would make this so much enjoyable. I knew I had the appeal, not been narcissistic. I'd heard compliments from women, and had more than my fair share throw themselves at me. And there's also a mirror...When I told him about the physical characteristics of the one I liked and saw him touch his hair, I couldn't help but tease him some more. “It's such a pity she doesn't like me back.”“She?” He looked up sharply, dropping his hand back. “Oh. I guess… Just give her some time.” He reached for the file next to his wo
“Yeah.” I bit back, glaring at the two as Guel turned, his eyes meeting mine like it was destined. No, it wasn't. He has someone with him, Rose. A woman who could give him kids and make a happy home. The most annoying part? They only have a 4-year age gap between them. It wasn't enough for people to lift their brows, unlike our 15-year age gap. “Boss.” He approached with a smile, the same one he had given Rose. I didn't like it one bit. It irked me, making me ache to punch him hard on his face, just for thinking he could look at me the same way he did to others.“Let's go,” I said to Benny, hurrying down the hall, without sparring him a glance. Halfway, I realised I had pressed the button for his floor instead of mine, like I had been doing since he joined the company. It was an unconscious act. Cursing under my breath, I whirled around, drawing my steps back to the elevator.“Boss,” Guel called out, running after me when he saw me returning. Benny, who, I thought, was behind me, wa
ASHERThey are together. Rose and Guel. I had seen them together countless times, seen the way they grinned at each other. A bitterness I'd never known took hold of me, gripping me so tight, I feared I might do something disastrous. I didn't like the way she beamed at him, touched his chest, the one I'd been dying to lay my hands on after I felt just how hard it was. I wouldn't lie. I'd contemplated getting her transferred to another branch, but feared Guel might leave with her. If that happened, I wouldn't have anyone to gawk at, or fantasise about. But more importantly, I would know for real that I had no chance with him. One thing I'd learned in all my years of living is that straight men aren't worth it…“Sir? Excuse me, sir” I blinked, forced back to the present. “Uhm…” I cleared my throat. “What were you saying?” I sat up in my armchair, pushing thoughts of Guel and that damned Rose to the back of my mind. I was in a meeting and had to keep my focus on my work instead of thi
