Alle Kapitel von Under His Watch: Kapitel 41 – Kapitel 50

“Really?”The disbelief in his voice made me open my eyes.He looked like a little boy who had just received a perfect grade from his teacher.“It’s wonderful! I mean, at least to me. I could drink the whole bottle!”I laughed.“I can’t believe you produced this yourself! I mean, of course you did, because you have a vineyard, and from what people say, your wines are incredible. Not that I have anything to compare it to, but what I mean is… this is definitely the best wine I’ve ever tasted in my life!”I took another breath, suddenly realizing how much I was rambling.“How long have you been making it? Was it an experiment?”While I talked, Leonard poured himself a glass, but he didn’t drink it.He swirled the wine and smelled it, closing his eyes.When he opened them again, his gaze fixed on the horizon.“I thought about this wine about two years ago.”I felt a small pang of jealousy, even though I knew it was completely irrational.At that time, I had only worked for him.Nothing mo

“Leonard, can I come in? Is everything okay?”I heard Susan knocking on Leonard’s bedroom door while he continued to torment me with his kisses and caresses.I didn’t want her coming to my room and finding us half-dressed and breathless.How embarrassing would that be?But hearing Susan calling for Leonard didn’t seem to affect him at all.He continued kissing me and touching me.His fingers teased me through my clothes while his other hand explored my body.Between panic and desire, desire won.I kissed him again and returned his caresses, allowing my body to show him exactly what I wanted.There was no way he could misunderstand how much I desired him.But just as the only sound had been the evidence of our desire, another interrupted and shattered the moment.Leonard’s phone began ringing and vibrating inside his pocket.“Fuck.”He pulled it out, and I caught sight of the screen.Susan – Psychiatrist.I rolled my eyes and sighed loudly.I gestured for him to answer, even though she

“My brother has got to be kidding me!”Lina stormed into my room and slammed the door behind her.She paced back and forth, clearly furious. I had seen plenty of angry women in my life—I was one of them—but never a beautiful, wealthy woman quite like Lina when she was truly pissed off.“Calm down, Lina. It’s a long story.”“A long story is exactly what I’m going to tell him when I get him alone! It’s obvious she came here with other intentions. I’m not stupid, you know? My area is people. I know what they want. I only need two minutes of watching someone to figure them out!”She waved her arms as she spoke, her voice far too loud.I remained sitting beside the desk, the bags she had brought me at my feet.“And I know exactly who she is. John already told me about her.”That caught my attention.“Dr. John? The lawyer?”“Yes, that one. My brother’s close friend and practically family. When Leo was going through a… difficult phase, she helped him.”She stopped pacing and looked at me.“B

Leonard stood up and walked away.The three of us remained silent until we heard the office door slam shut.“Well, I’m going to get ready. Enjoy the rest of your lunch. I hope to see you again, Lina.”Susan left without waiting for an answer.Neither of us said a word.Once we lost sight of Susan, Lina sighed and leaned back against her chair.“The good news is that my plan worked. The bad news is that it worked a little too well. Now I have to go talk to him, and it’s not going to be a pretty conversation.”“Lina, you’ve caused problems because of me, and that was the last thing I wanted! Now you two are going to argue. I feel terrible about all of this.”Tears began gathering in my eyes.There were simply too many emotions hitting me at once.“Blair, my brother and I argue all the time!”She looked at me seriously.“And I’d rather have one argument because of you than five hundred because of his drinking, working too much, or because we barely ever see him!”She reached for my hand.

As I calmed down, I laughed at myself. I had almost been caught by the maid masturbating—in her boss’s house, and mine. What a lovely story!When I reached my room, an intoxicating aroma filled the air. The moment I lifted the lid, I found a Beef Wellington bathed in a red-wine reduction, accompanied by asparagus. For dessert there was a crème brûlée. The wine glass was already filled, and they had left the bottle. A note came with it:“From Mr. Parker’s reserves. I hope it’s to your liking.”No signature.Of course, it would be to my liking. The wines I usually bought were the ones on sale more often than not.I wet my lips and let the wine slide into my mouth. It was absolutely wonderful.I raised the glass in a quiet toast to the vineyards outside. Without them, Mr. Parker would never have had this marvel now traveling down my throat.I had put on a baby-blue lace bra with matching panties and walked around the room between bites of my delicious dinner, dancing to the music.And I
