Chapter 5 - Sarah

Sunbeams were coming between the curtains. I woke up and realized I was curled up in Sam’s arms. I smiled at that though. I could feel his warmth breath on my neck. His unique scent was strong, and it smelled so good. I was feeling safe and peaceful. My heart was beating fast for him. I couldn’t believe how nice and affectionate he was with me. What did I do to get a guy like him? I smiled as I remembered how cute it was when he called me “babe” yesterday.

My hands started to roam his body slowly without me even thinking about it. A soft smile appeared on Sam’s lips as he opened his eyes. “Hey babe. Slept well?”

I smiled back, “Your arms are the best place to sleep in.”

He seemed pleased by my answer and laughed a little.

He put his hand in my hair and gently played with loose strands. I brought my mouth closer to his and kissed him, biting his lower lip. His fingers slid on my skin, making goosebumps rise wherever they went. A small moan escaped my lips. Sam seemed happy with my reaction, his beautiful deep green eyes looking at me.

“You are so perfect,” he told me, “I want to wake up by your side every morning.”

I was taken aback by his compliment. I never thought of myself being especially beautiful or perfect, but in his arms, I felt like I was the most beautiful and precious woman in the world.

Instead of answering, I nibbled his earlobe. A kind of low growl, barely edible, seemed to emanate from his chest, like a purr of pleasure. I could feel the heat rising from our bodies. We continued kissing as our bodies intertwined.

I removed his shirt, revealing his muscles underneath. I gaped at what I saw; he was so perfect!

“Like what you see?” Sam asked with a smirk on his face.

“Like? I love what I see! It makes me crave more.”

He had a devilish smile as he cupped my face in his hand and answered, “Then I’m all yours,” before returning to kissing me.

Sam removed my shirt and started to outline my breast with his tongue, making my nipples go hard. He took his sweet time with each of them as I moaned under him. “Sam,” I pleaded while he continued.

I could feel his arousal in his boxers, and I wanted him right now. “Soon baby, patience,” he answered as he proceeded to remove my shorts.

I arched my back at the touch of his fingers gliding on the inside of my legs. I was panting as his thumb was rolling circles on my clit. I was dripping already and couldn’t hold a scream when he inserted a finger into me.

I started to thrust my hips at his finger; my body wanted more. Satisfied with where I was at, he removed his finger, got back up a little and removed his boxers, revealing his enlarged member.

Looking at me with desire in the eyes, he finally penetrated me. The pleasure hit me instantly and with every thrust, came a new wave of pleasure. I couldn’t stop myself from screaming and calling his name.

I felt his teeth brush against my neck, near the base of my shoulder, but then he backed away. My nails dug into his back and I screamed as I peaked.

“Hummm Sarah,” he screamed too, and soon after I felt his seeds fill my belly. We stayed like that for a moment, breathless, just resting together. Listening to his heartbeat, I wished this moment could last forever.

We both got up and took a quick shower, ate breakfast and prepared to go to work. A few minutes after, we arrived at work. Sam gave me a quick kiss on the lips as he went into his office and me to my workstation.

I was still feeling uneasy after what happened yesterday. I was wondering if I would find another bloody package on my desk, but there wasn’t.

An hour later, I had a meeting with Sam and Zach. They were both already there when I got to the meeting room.

“Hey Sarah,” said Zach with a big smile on his face.

“Hey!” I answered to both.

“So, this meeting will be brief,” started Sam. “We talked about what happened yesterday.”

At those words, I remembered everything that has happened with the note and the package on my desk. A knot formed in my stomach and I was feeling anxious.

Sam looked at me and suddenly I calmed down. It seemed that his eyes had somehow the power to calm me down. Sam wouldn’t let anything happen to me; I was sure of it. I felt protected.

He continued talking, “After that incident, we feel someone should look up after you for a while. Until we find out who sent that package to you. So, for now on, Zach will be working in the marketing department, and stay with you at all time.”

My eyes widened. “But isn’t Zach in the sales department?”

“Yes, he is,” Sam answered, “But he is my cousin, he is one of the people I trust the most.

We’ll just tell everyone that the new game development needs someone both from marketing and sales and that you two will work together from now on.”

I liked the idea of having someone to protect me. Although I wished it was Sam more than Zach. I mean, Zach was a good guy, but I didn’t know him. And with what happened between Sam and me, I would take more time close to him.

“It would be nice if you could keep an eye on me,” I told Sam with a wink.

Sam sighed and put his hands around my hips.

“I would love to be the one who keeps you safe Sarah, but right now unfortunately, I have some things that I need to take care of and can’t take that role just yet.

Zach is trustworthy, I know I can count on him. I swear that when I’m done with my other tasks, I’ll take his place by your side.” He quickly added.

I felt it in my heart that he was telling the truth, that he really wished he could protect me himself instead of asking Zach to do it. He seemed to trust Zach a lot, so I was going to trust him too. I nodded to them.

Zach smiled at me and added, “I’ll get my things and bring them by the desk beside yours today. That way I’ll be able to keep an eye on you. Just come to me if anything suspicious happens.”

Sam gave him a look, then Zach added with a small laugh, “And don’t forget to say it to Sam too or I’ll hear about it.”

Sam laughed at his answer.

“Well, then I’m sure that with both of you by my side, I’ll be safe.”

I was sincerely grateful for the way they wanted to protect me. I did feel safer that way.

We all went back to our workstations. While going back, I came across Marissa in the hall. She gave me a cold stare that made the hair rise in the back of my neck. I had the feeling she didn’t like me but couldn’t put my finger on to why she didn’t. I hoped that it wasn’t related to my work. I was wondering if I should say something to Zach or Sam about her but… Nan it’s probably just my imagination. I brushed it on the side and went on with my day.

A few hours later, Zach moved his stuff to the desk beside mine. Everybody was fine with the idea that we were collaborating on the new game development.

A few hours later, near then end of the day, I received a text from Sam.

“Hey babe, do you want to come at my place tonight again?”

Although the idea seemed like a good one, I wanted to go back at my place tonight. I wanted to get some clean clothes and be alone with myself a little. So much stuff happened in the last few days, I needed to sort my thoughts.

So, I responded, “Sorry honey but I think I should go to my apartment tonight.”

A few seconds later came a response “You know, with everything happening right now, I would feel safer if you were with me… Plus, I kinda miss you already.”
