*Sterling Hunter sat behind the huge mahogany desk in his enormous office, his dark coffee-colored eyes located where his assistant stood a few distances away.His eyes roamed over her face, he could tell she was tensed.
He could not fault her after what she had witnessed earlier, Carla or whatever her name was had been too annoying, he knew he had to get rid of her right there and then.He despised loud and clingy women, to think that he and Carla had only met twice. The first was when his mother had arranged a meeting between them without his awareness, the second was when she had shown up at his house uninvited. He had sent her away and today she dared showed up at his office?
Sterling had been irritated when she had spread the news to the media that they were an item, he hated entitled women who thought he belonged to them after one night.
"S__sir, you wanted to see me?"
Sterling noticed the way Faith clenched and unclenched her palms. His watchful eyes also didn't miss the way her tongue darted to lick her lips which was usually a habit of hers whenever she was nervous.
Her innocent action managed to rouse a good amount of blood pumping in the wrong direction.Why did she always have to affect him this way?
He knew it was all wrong.He shouldn't be focusing on her plump lips right now, he wasn't supposed to be thinking if they were as soft as they look, he doubted she knew that at this moment he was thinking how great her wonderful lips would feel coating his cock.
She would be horrified, Sterling smiled and then shook his head as though to clear his thoughts.
She was his secretary for goodness sake! He had tried to suppress these dirty thoughts, but they always managed to slip each time."I'm sorry, sir." She spoke again, looking even more anxious.
Sterling was surprised by her apology and even more inadequate was the way his cock twitched in his pants.Didn't she know that each time she apologized for something, she managed to revive the predator inside of him?
The powerful urge to bend her across his desk, bare her ass and do all the unspeakable things to her."What are you apologizing for?" He was genuinely curious to know.
"I swear that I wasn't meaning anything when I told her that you__uh arrested those__girls. It was inappropriate, she was putting her hands on me, that was why I told her, I only wanted her to stay away and nothing morey__and the rumor that you and I___ I"
He noticed the way her face reddened and barely back a grin, she could be so adorable sometimes___ no, all of the time, he thought.
"This is the first time I heard about it as well, who the hell goes around spreading such rumors___that I fuck my own secretary!" He muttered and she impossibly turned redder, a burst of shrill short laughter escaping her mouth.
"I know, that's impossible, we are not even each other's type!" She responded too quickly.
Sterling barely managed to refrain himself from saying, she was exactly his type, he fucking loved everything about her.
Sometimes, it was so difficult to be just her boss, especially when he wanted to fuck the brains out of her as he did.He had employed her thinking she was just a beautiful empty head, his initial plan had been to fire her and then court her, to make her satisfy the painful desire she had stirred from the first moment, but then she turned out to be very good at her job as his secretary.
As a fresh college graduate who got employed by a big firm, she had always been very eager to please him which only flared his desire for her. She had also been very afraid of making mistakes, he remembered how she would cry in the first few months whenever he scolded her for making a mistake. She never complained about a given task and with time started to do everything effectively.She turned out to be very hardworking and was by far better than even the most experienced assistant he had ever had.
He decided to continue to allow her to be his secretary, he had also thought of pursuing her while she worked for him, but Sterling knew more than anyone that office romances never last, the beginning was always sweeter than the end.It had been pure hell trying to resist her for the past four years.
Sterling stared at her, he didn't think he would be offended when she spoke that he wasn't her type. What kind of man did she prefer? Was she currently seeing a man? It was irrational for him to feel jealous of her affairs if any but the prickled sensation in his heart wouldn't go away."H_how did the meeting go, sir? Did you negotiate the price on the land? How did they react to it?" She was staring at him eagerly.
"They agreed! We will sign the deal in three days and if everything goes as planned, we will be extending our company before the end of this month!"
"Yes! This calls for a huge celebration!" She pumped her fist in the air, seeming too excited to care.
Sterling smirked at the pure relief on her face, her huge smile made her appear more beautiful if that was even possible.He couldn't tear his gaze away, how was he ever going to free her from his mind if she kept on being her?
She was making it even harder for him to ever let her go."That's great news! How did you do it? I mean, how did they suddenly agree to it?"
"You should know that I always get everything I want if I want it badly enough." He spoke.
"Correct! you always succeed each time!" She responded, nodding actively. She completely missed the way his eyes gleamed at her. Sterling made a decision right then, he had given her four painfully long years and had fought to suppress his needs for four years, but somehow he lost the battle, he thought his lust would disappear during these years. He was wrong. Perhaps it was time to get exactly what he wanted.He wanted her to be more than his secretary and to hell with all the rules. He wanted her hot and naked in his bed, didn't she say that he always succeeded each time?She talked about his schedule for the rest of the day, his eyes followed her to the door but she stopped before her hands touched the knob. She turned around to face him once again.
"I__I actually wanted to tell you something__" Sterling nodded the go-ahead, curious to know why she was delaying.
"When I started working with you, one of the conditions in the contract which you told me also applied to your other secretaries was that w__we couldn't be in any relationship as we need to be focused on the job." She started and now Sterling was fully alerted.
"W__well, it's been four years, I met someone, we both understand each other and are going for something serious, I just wanted to let you know to avoid a breach of the contract, if you still don't want your secretaries to be in any relationship, then I__" She paused.
Sterling couldn't suppress the swift burst of emotions. He had been surprised, then anger and jealousy kicked in, along with a deep feeling of betrayal and hurt.
He hated so much her right this moment which he never thought he could."And what if I don't want you to be in any relationship?" His lips barely moved as he spoke, the anger in his tone was barely masked.
"Then, I'll have to quit." She spoke with a certainty that told him that she had prepared herself for the situation.Sterling didn't know which angered him more, the fact that she was seeing some man or the reality that she could just quit the job and leave him so easily after a whole four years!
She might as well forget about it, he thought.
He always got whatever he wanted, it didn't matter if he had to bend all the rules!* *Soft music echoed in the bar, the dim lights flickered across the exclusive area where Sterling Hunter's sat. His face was set in a deep scowl as he appeared to be lost in thoughts. His hand clenched around the glass of bourbon, threatening to shatter the glass to pieces. All he could think about was his Faith's words earlier in the office today. He couldn't remember the last time he felt this aggravated. He hadn't kept her by his side for four years just to watch her be taken away by some mother fucking cocksucker! The thought sent his heart burning with a bloodthirsty uproar. He could only empty the contents of his glass, the liquid spreading smooth hotness down his chest, providing momentary relief to the turmoil in his heart. "What brings you here tonight? Aren't businessmen like you always busy with one thing or the other?" Sterling watched Rex approach, Rex was his cousin and owner of the bar. He wanted to be left alone but didn't say anything when Rex fell on o
F.O.U.R**Faith had tried hard to ignore the stares of some of her co-workers, they had all seen her step out of the boss' car this morning. Their whispers made Faith uncomfortable, she had always hated being the center of attention and now she could easily guess that she was the topic of today's topic. It was already almost afternoon, As Faith walked into the cafeteria to grab some coffee, she saw three of her co-workers locked in a discussion. "I knew something was going on between her and Mr. Hunter all along! they are starting to make their relationship open after she made him break up with his girlfriend? That Faith is too shameless!"Faith paused midway to stare at Patricia, Yvonne, and Darla, the three ladies didn't seem to be aware of her presence yet. "Didn't you hear what the fight yesterday was all about? Mr. Hunter's girlfriend spoke that she really does sleep with the boss, Mr. Hunter didn't deny it either. Some people just have everything easy, She isn't even all th
F.I.V.E **The moment the door slammed shut, Sterling Hunter released a frustrated breath.What had gotten into her to hug him like that?He had been stunned when she threw her arms around him. Those few moments had felt like heaven and hell at the same time. To feel her womanly softness but not able to touch her. To inhale her divine smell. Sterling had nearly lost control then. It had been hell trying to battle the intense urge to make love to her right then. Didn't she know that the moment she looked up at him with those wide doe eyes, he would have paid any price, even to sell his soul to get a taste of those luscious lips? Was she that clueless about the way her very presence affected him? She had stared at him like she wanted to be fucked. He would only have been happy to oblige her. Fuck knew that there was nothing he wanted more in this world than to sink his cock into her tight pussy. He was starving for it. The knowledge that he couldn't possess her just yet had
S.I.X**Faith walked into the expensive-looking bar where she met a young man who appeared to be in his late twenties or perhaps early thirties, Faith thought when he walked closer. Faith thought he looked familiar, then quickly remembered that she had seen him quite a few times at the office with Sterling Hunter."You are his secretary, right? I'm Rex, owner of this bar, I'll bring you to Sterling" Faith followed him, they walked until they arrived at a spot. In the dim lights, Faith's eyes found Sterling Hunter. His eyes were closed, and his head relaxed against his chair. She hurried towards him to discover he was fast asleep. "Do you want me to arrange a car for you to take him home? We are about to close any time from now." Rex spoke. Faith didn't tear her gaze away from Sterling, she couldn't help but wonder what prompted him to drink so much. "No need to, I've already called the driver, he will soon be here"Faith caught Rex's quiet nod before he walked out of the room,
S.E.V.E.N**Faith felt Dan's arms around her waist as he softly kissed her across her lips. "I didn't expect that you would come here at this hour, why didn't you call me? Did anything go wrong?"He pulled back and turned his head in the left direction. Faith watched as the concern in his eyes slowly vaporized and was replaced by a disapproving and hostile look. He was staring in the direction of Sterling Hunter's car. "I thought you took him home, why is he here? Don't tell me you allowed him to drop you here!" Faith met Dan's question with silence and watched as his eyes widened as he confirmed the answer she hadn't spoken aloud. "He only asked the driver to drop me here because__" Faith started but was cut off by Dan who shouted, his voice dripping with bitterness. "He also drove you to work, isn't it? Since when did Sterling Hunter become your personal driver, I thought you worked for him, since when did it become the other way round?"Faith stared at her boyfriend, maybe
E.I.G.H.T.**Sterling looked behind Faith to see the figure standing there, he could feel the bitter taste of jealousy in his mouth. Sterling clenched his jaw and barely managed to keep a calm composure. "S_sir" Faith stammered, pulling Sterling's attention from the man behind her. As much as Sterling was pissed off by the both of them, his heart still managed to twinge at the sight of her. Her face would remain the most beautiful he'd ever seen, his hands urged to de-tangle her brown messy bun. Her long shapely legs through her skirt were all but a temptation. And the shape of her breast through her shirt___ What wouldn't he do to make her his? Nothing. "I should have told you that there's no need to pick me up, Dan will bring me to work."Sterling met Dan's stare, he could openly see the man's animosity towards him, the feeling was mutual, or even worse because Sterling hated him more. It had taken everything in him not to get rid of Dan most easily and more quickly. Faith wor
N.I.N.E.**Faith could almost smack herself in the head, why did she think she could explain her situation to Sterling. He was only her employer, why did she always forget such a simple thing? He was not obligated to care about her personal issues.She stared at her bandaged hand, recalling how tender Sterling had been when he picked her up and brought her to the hospital, she had seen genuine concern in his eyes. Some days, he was just so good to her that she would forget that he was her boss, other times, he would be so stern and harsh reminding her that he could always replace her. Would she ever completely understand him? Perhaps not in this lifetime. Faith watched as Sterling signed the last papers, she accepted them from him and handed them to the lawyer. Sterling shook hands with Mr. Muller, this was the first time Faith was seeing her boyfriend's father, he had a wide smile. Well, his account had been topped by some good digits, Faith thought. Dan didn't show up as
TEN**It was Sunday, and Faith didn't have to worry about preparing for work. She pushed off her bedcovers and walked to the bathroom to do her business. She walked out of the bathroom only to hear her name being yelled aloud. "Faith! How could you not tell me?!" Natalie shouted, breaking into the bedroom. Faith shot her friend a confused stare, she was concerned about Natalie's flustered look."Tell you what?" "Don't even try to deny it, it's all over the news, I'm confused, since when did you and Dan break up and you caught the bigger fish!" Natalie exclaimed and Faith was even more confused. "What news?" Faith asked only for Natalie to shove her phone in front of Faith. It took several seconds to read through the headline. The blood drained out of her face when she saw the photos behind it. She recognized them instantly. One photo had her sitting on Sterling Hunter's thigh, from the spot it was taken, it seemed as though they were locked in an intimate kiss. The other ph
