MasukThe office was completely empty. The hallway silent and devoid of any living creature. Only Teresa was around. Lurking in the shadows like a thief.The soft hum of the florescent lights of New York City were the only things that kept Teresa tethered to reality.
She definitely should not have stayed back. She didn't know what had gotten into her. Mark Rexona himself had left the office hours and he was usually the last one to ever leave the office. His last words to her were clipped and very brief. A simple," Lock the door behind you." But she was able to leave. Not just yet. Not when her body was still tremendously trembling from every look, every command, every interaction. She had been suffering all week. Going through long hours with a vibrator firmly placed on her clitoris. Having orgasms after orgasms, touching her breasts, pinching and pulling with the fantasy that her boss was the one doing it to her. His intoxicating scent still lingered in the room, clean, undeniably masculine and heavy. His cologne clung to the leather chair like a shadow. Teresa stood behind his desk, with her heart pounding furiously in her chest, her legs clamped together in frustration and futile resistance. She had planned waiting till she got home. She tried to hold on as much as she could but an incident that happened today just set off a fire that refused to come down . She and Mark were walking from a meeting and headed back to the office when Teresa slipped on a puddle of water and almost fell. She was caught by Mark who quickly wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to his chest. Teresa froze at the contact. Her hands were on his chest and through the perfectly tailored suit she could faintly feel his muscles. Her face flushed red at the contact and she tried to leave his hold, only to end off being pulled back. Mark's cold voice came" Miss Smith I would appreciate if you could look where you are going. I will not always be around to catch you." His voice was deep and serious, he didn't shout or raise his voice even by a syllable but he didn't need to. The intense dominance leaked from his words leading Teresa to nod blankly at him. He let go of her eventually, but her dress still smelt of his cologne. It swarmed her senses giving her the illusion of her carrying is scent. Her underwear was completely soaked and she had to rush into the bathroom to change to her emergency pair. All day she tried to concentrate, tried to fantasize about a less forbidden man. But alas it did not work. Her working closely beside him was not helping matters as well. The more orders and commands he gave, the more her hold on reality lessened until she found herself in the situation. She tried to stop herself. Really tried. But eventually temptation won. She sat down in his chair, his chair, after she had confirmed that the door was locked. Aside from her and the occasional security men on patrol, the office was silent perfect for her to commit her crime and get away with it. She took off her heels and let her thighs fall wide open, shivering as the cool air from the air conditioner, brushed against her heated and now very sensitive skin. Her hands unzipped her skirt and set them on the table. Her fingers moved before her mind could stop them, slipping her wet lace panties off and dropping them on the table. Her hands moved on their like they were possessed. Trailing slowly and softly to her center and then lightly tapping on her very swollen clitoris. Her breath hitched in her throat as she began to rub faster and harsher, trying to chase her orgasm. The angle was all wrong. The location was even more wrong. She was taking a tremendous risk by doing this. But that only made it hotter and far more exciting. Her breasts were set free as she tore open her shirt and grabbed one, massaging and pinching the very sensitive nipple. Her other hand had gripped the armrest like a lifeline, so hard that her knuckles had turned white, her eyes half-lidded and unfocused as she imagined his voice, low and sharp, saying her name like a command, telling her to go faster, not to stop. To cum for him. "Teresa." Just like that. Sharp. Heavy. Dominant. Cold She whimpered softly at the fantasy and it's effect on her. Her fingers moved faster, slightly curving so that her short nails could lightly scratch on her clips increasing the friction and pleasure tremendously. Her legs began to tremble at the intensity of her impending orgasm. She leaned backwards, her head against the leather, biting her lip hard in order to stifle the loud moan that was threatening to erupt out of her throat. She could see him in her fantasy. Towering over her. Watching with both arms on either side of her head. He guided her to her orgasm, telling her when to speed up and where to slow down. She was going insane with pleasure and her head felt foggy. His orders were getting harsher and he instructed her to go as fast as she could. Her back arched. A breathless cry escaped her lips before she could catch it and swallow it down. And then, she heard something.... A creak... She whipped her head towards the door.... she froze in place. Her blood froze and heated up all at the same time. Standing at the door with his face shadowed by the darkness, in his ever immaculate suit, was none other than Mark Rexona. Shit. Shit. Shit. Teresa to her feet standing bare. She caught his unimpressed raise of an eyebrow and she looked down realizing that she was bare from her waist downwards. She scrambled to quickly wear her skirt, to fix up her blouse, to try to make words flow from her mouth. But nothing worked. She was blank. Nothing she would say would erase this moment.Nothing could erase what he’d just witnessed. In his own office. In his chair. He said nothing, absolutely nothing. He didn’t blink. Didn't make a single expression. His eyes didn’t wander about her body, didn’t leer at her exposed skin, but they looked. Deeply. Quietly. Curiously. His jaw clenched just slightly. And then.... He turned away and walked off. Just like that. No words. No berating. Not a single expression. The door clicked shut behind him, as he footsteps echoed in the empty hallway. Teresa was left completely breathless, her skin flushed red and her heart racing with dread. What I'm the world had she done? What had he seen? Did he just appear or had he been watching her for a long time. She stared at the closed door, her mind spinning with fear, anxiety and a strange flutter in her chest. Because for a moment, just a single second, she could’ve sworn his gaze lingered on her.Teresa's POV Sophie raised an eyebrow, a slow smile spreading on her face. “Bold claim. I like it. The possessiveness is a good look on you.”He ignored her completely, picking up the toy rifle. It looked comically small in his large, capable hands. He checked the sight, shook his head at its flimsiness, and then pressed the stock against his shoulder. His focus was absolute. He tracked the lead duck for a second, then squeezed the trigger. There was a loud crack and the lead duck tipped backward with a satisfying ding.He didn’t even smile. He just placed the gun down neatly, took the small, foil-wrapped chocolate bar from the booth attendant, and handed it to me with a completely deadpan expression. “Here,” he said. “Don’t get spoiled.”I took the chocolate, my laughter bubbling up again. “You are utterly impossible.”“And you are far too easily entertained,” he muttered back, but the corner of his mouth twitched.We moved on, Victor and Sophie trailing us like overly enthusiastic
Teresa's POV The transition from the sleek, silent corporate sedan to the vibrant chaos of the fairground was jarring. One moment, I was surrounded by the hushed tones of luxury leather and the faint smell of Mark’s cologne, the next, I was plunged into a world of screaming neon, the deafening cacophony of calliope music and children’s laughter, and the thick, sweet aroma of popcorn and frying dough. It was a sensory overload. I had just left a world of spreadsheets and strategic meetings, and now I was here, standing on sawdust-covered ground, because Victor insisted it was "business-related" land inspection for the new resort. I didn't buy it for a second. I was pretty sure Victor just got a kick out of forcing people into romantic comedy situations.Mark released my hand as we got out of the car, only to immediately take it again, his grip firm and possessive. He scanned the surroundings, his expression not just neutral, but actively disapproving. His jaw was set, his brows drawn
Teresa's POV I took her hand, my mind racing. "Uh… all about me?" I managed, shaking her hand. Her grip was confident."Yes," she said, tilting her head, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Mark hasn't stopped talking. Well, not about business, of course. He's a vault about that. But… other things. You know, how wonderfully capable you are. How you’ve been keeping him organized. How you’ve been… keeping him sane." She said the last part with a deliberate, teasing lilt.I felt my cheeks grow warm. "I… I'm just doing my job," I stammered, feeling utterly transparent.She laughed, a light, musical sound. "Oh, come now. Don't be so modest. You're more than just a secretary. You're brilliant, from what I hear. And you're… charming." She looked me up and down, not unkindly, but with a frank appreciation that was disconcerting. "And yes, I might be a little jealous."Mark's voice was a low growl. "Sophie.""Oh, relax, Mark," she said, not taking her eyes off me. She took a step closer, inva
The car waiting for us was another sleek, black sedan. The ride to the hotel was silent, but the silence was different from the one in the car this morning. That had been heavy with dread and unspoken accusations. This silence was thick with a new understanding and a nervous anticipation of what came next. I couldn't help stealing glances at him. He stared out the window, his profile sharp against the passing cityscape. He looked the same—the same severe suit, the same impassive expression—but he felt different. Maybe he was less guarded, or maybe I was just seeing him differently after the raw confessions on the plane.The hotel was a monument of glass and steel. We barely stepped into the opulent lobby before Mark was moving again, his stride purposeful."Come on," he said, not looking back. "We don't have time to unpack."I hurried to keep up, my suitcase wheels clicking on the marble floor. He led me down a corridor to a meeting room, pushing the door open. "We have a few minutes
Teresa's POV.My breath hitched. "Accidentally?" I asked, my voice small and frightened."Yes," he said, the word sharp. "She stabbed a man who was trying to hurt her. To protect herself. She was just a child, too. She was so traumatized she was sent to Russia to recover. And by the time our mother finally woke up, when I was ten years old… it was too late. Those formative years, the years when you learn how to love, how to trust… I lost them. We all lost them. The family was broken, and we've been trying to glue the pieces back together ever since, with mixed results."I swallowed hard, my throat burning with unshed tears. "I… I understand. I can't imagine…"He shook his head, a sharp, dismissive motion. "No. You can't. And I don't expect you to. That life… it makes you hard. It makes you build walls so high and so thick that you think no one can ever get in. That's why… that's why I made the contract in the first place. It was a wall. A way to have a relationship without the risk, t
Teresa's POV.The sharp, electronic buzz of the hotel lobby phone seemed to scream directly into my ear. I jerked, sloshing lukewarm coffee onto my wrist. I hadn't even finished my first cup. The day was starting without my permission."The car is here for you, ma'am," a clipped voice informed me."Thank you. I'll be right down," I managed, my voice still rough with sleep and unspoken fears. I looked at the half-empty mug, a bitter symbol of the peace I wasn't allowed to have. With a sigh, I grabbed my bag, my fingers brushing against the crisp envelope inside. My resignation letter. It felt both like a shield and a sentence. Tucking it safely away, I squared my shoulders and stepped out into the morning.The cold air was a physical slap, sharp and bracing. I pulled my coat tighter, but the chill that settled in my bones had little to do with the weather. My mind was a thousand miles away, trapped in a tangled web of Mark, of my own cowardice, of the life I was fleeing and the one I w
