Denouement (4 page)

At first, she held it up with a puzzled look on her
face. He had to save himself from looking like a pervert, redeem himself in her
eyes. “Your top is wet.”

He watched her as she looked down at her breasts,
gasped, spun around and pulled the sweatshirt over her head.

“That’s mine, by the way,” Tobias said.

“I will get you back to you. Thank you, by the way,” she
barked. Tobias shook his head in
disbelief.Shehad
to
be the only woman he’d met that scowled at his almost naked body.

“I’m sorry about the words thing.” Tobias shot Peter a
get-out-of-the-room look before returning his gaze to her, “I was just
wondering where you were. I didn’t want to ask your assistant outright. I
didn’t mean any disrespect.”

“Why did you want to see me?” Marietta’s attack
position relaxed and she started to look uneasy more than she did angry.

“It’s about the kiss—,”

“I was happy to help,” she interrupted. “Anyway I have
to go now. My food is getting cold.”

Tobias was lost for words when she spun around and
left. “Peter!” he called out and his assistant appeared. “Follow her and tell
me where her room is.”

“You are the supposed CIA agent, not me.”

“Go!
Now!”

Marietta didn’t realize she was holding her breath
until she left the room. She took in a much-needed breath to clear her mind.
She hadn’t been on set during the sex scenes of the movie, but had heard rumors
about how glorious his body was. But no description that she had heard did him
justice. For a second, she thought she would throw herself at him and make the
fantasy a reality. But at the last second she had managed to reign in her
desire. When she heard someone walk to the door she rushed to the elevator and
waited.

Peter walked out and stepped beside her. He glanced at
her once and then past her. “Aren’t you going to push the button?”

“What?” Marietta looked at the elevator door and
realized that she hadn’t pushed the down button, “Oh, yeah, right.”

When the elevator came up she stepped inside and
pushed her floor number. Peter didn’t make an attempt at pushing any number, so
she assumed they were on the same floor. When she got off he walked behind her.
She felt it was odd but didn’t think much of it. And when she stopped at her
door and he walked past her she knew that she was overreacting.

Marietta realized that in her mad rush she had
forgotten her key card. She knocked on the door hoping that Jessie was still
inside. The door swung open and a cheeky looking Jessie stared at her.

“So? Did he shake under your mighty wrath? Did you put
the fear of God in him?” She laughed.

“It’s not funny.” She was the one who had managed to
get
herself
spellbound by Tobias’ body. She was wary
about getting Jessie’s input but she just had to ask, “Have you ever seen
Tobias, half naked, up close?”

“Have I?” Marietta didn’t understand Jessie’s need to
answer a question with another question, “Why do you think the set overflows
with women during the sex scenes. Half of those women don’t work for you, but
they have that day marked on their calendars and programmed into their
planners. The Almighty himself carved that man’s body and when he stepped back
to take a look, he said, hell, yeah, I did good.”

“I know.”

“Why do you ask? Did you get to see him naked?”

“Half naked, and honestly I am a words person, I get
paid millions for my words. But nothing I could ever formulate in my mind could
do him justice.” Marietta noticed the trolley of food in the room, it was
exactly what she ordered but it was half-eaten.
“Jessie that
was my food.”

“I was hungry besides I ordered more food. It should
be here in a while.” The doorbell rang, and Jessie skipped to the door. “And
here it is.”

Marietta felt her heart shatter against her ribs.
There was a trolley with food all right but it wasn’t the waiter pushing it.
Tobias pushed the trolley into the room, he was covered up but his tight black
T-shirt and jeans accented the best parts of his body.

“I mean here he is,” Jessie murmured.

“I didn’t know you worked here.” Marietta willed
herself to be brazen. She took a step towards him and pulled the trolley the rest
of the way inside. She shot a look at Jessie who seemed to be in a trance.
“Jessie, your food is getting cold.”

****

“I thought it was your food that was getting cold,”
Tobias said.

It had taken him a split second after getting the
information from Peter for him to decide to go down to Marietta’s room. At
first he thought it couldn’t be the one. Why would a top Executive producer and
screen writer stay in such a humble room? But it was the only location he had.

Tobias watched her and she watched him. He helped move
the trolley into the room and stood still as the assistant picked up her tray
of food and exited the room. It was just the two of them and he could do what
he set out to do. With three long strides he closed the gap between him and
Marietta. Grabbing her face in both his hands he crushed his lips to hers.

At first Marietta didn’t know what to do, but as the
intensity of the kiss grew she had no choice but to kiss him back. She shivered
as his hands released her face and found other parts of her body to caress. She
wanted more of him, all of him. She wanted to claim him and mark him somehow.
Marietta felt herself being urged backward and she moved to the point she
collided with the bed.

Warning bells went off in her head, but she brushed
them aside. She was going to do
it.She
was willing to
be another notch on his bedpost. She needed to know what everyone was raving
about. She clawed at his t-shirt and pulled it over his head. Taking a breath,
she let her eyes open only to admire the Adonis standing before her.

“Dear God, you are beautiful.” She gasped in between
kisses as her fingers kneaded into each muscle in his torso.

Tobias had managed to get his hands under the sweat
shirt and under the tank top. He cursed Peter’s good nature because it now
meant more work for him. But Marietta didn’t need to be persuaded. She let him
pull the sweatshirt off and the thin fabric of her T-shirt was what separated
the two of them. Marietta could feel him kneading his fingers into her flesh,
pulling at her clothes and persuading her body to surrender.

“You are so beautiful, so soft, and so sexy,”
sheheard
him whisper in between kisses. “I want you so bad,
I need you. Let me have you.”

She could feel herself surrender, her body yield to
his persuasive hands. Plus she could feel something else. An orgasm was echoing
inside her threatening to release and turn her into jelly. He pushed her onto
the bed and she went with him. Marietta straightened her hands over her head as
he pushed her top off. Tobias’ mouth seized her nipples, sucking and licking at
the same time. That was it, Marietta could feel her body vibrate, she threw her
head back as an orgasm rolled out of her. Tobias took this as his cue to up the
ante. He moved to his knees and slipped his fingers under the waist band of her
trousers and panties. He pulled them off with one tug, and undid his own jeans.
But he didn’t take them off, it wasn’t time.

Marietta could feel her thighs go sore from how tight
Tobias was holding her. She felt him tug her towards him, her eyes were closed,
she wasn’t watching but her body was aware of what he was doing. When she felt
his tongue smooth against her tender center she felt like she would break into
tiny little pieces. She tried to squirm away but his strong hands held her in
place. She didn’t know how long he spent placating her but it felt like an
eternity. Her fingers grabbed onto the bed covers at her sides. She felt like
she was crushing down into something, and as another orgasm rolled through her,
her body arched off the bed, as her eyes rolled back into her skull.

She felt like all the energy had been wrung out of
her, like she had nothing left. She moaned in disapproval when Tobias’ tongue
left her center, but she gasped out in shock as he sunk his fingers into her as
his thumb massaged her clit. She couldn’t take it
anymore.She
needed to feel him fill her up.

Tobias shed his pants and rose over her. He made sure
that his fingers didn’t stop working as he moved to her nipples once more then
claimed her lips. He groaned in approval when her hand clamped around him
holding him in place. But with his free hand, he held both her wrist over her
head and watched as another orgasm rolled through her.

“Please, please,” Marietta heard the words leave her
lips, but it didn’t sound like she was saying them. There was no room for
modesty in this situation. She wriggled her hand free and grabbed at his
shoulder. Slowly she smoothed her hand down until she reached his belly. She
looked into his eyes and saw the same animalistic desire in his eyes, then she
grabbed his shaft with such force that she thought he had climaxed.

Tobias threw his head back and growled. Her fingers
curled around him tight, making an up and down movement that he swore would
bring him to his knees. Unable to take it anymore, he pulled her up against
him, planted a kiss at her center then readied himself. He looked into her eyes
and with one hard thrust he was inside her. As her body arched off the bed, he
took possession of one of her breasts and kneaded into the soft cushion, as his
other hand held her in place.

Marietta moved with his rhythm thrusting against him
with the same force and desire. She had never felt so full in her life. It was
like his manhood was stretching her threatening to tear her open. She felt like
she was about to pee and rupture at the same time, but it was still not enough.
She kneaded her fingers into his biceps and he seemed to receive the message
she was trying to convey.

Holding onto both her thighs, Tobias thrust and
thumped as hard as he could. He drove both of them to the edge of death with
desire. He wanted to release but he pleaded with his body to wait. Just one
more thrust…just one more second…just deeper and faster. He pleaded with his
body to hold on, but when he felt Marietta coil and tighten around him,
watching her take her pleasure from him broke him. He couldn’t hold on anymore.
With one hard thrust he emptied his entire being into her.

****

Marietta was left dazed and weak from her last orgasm.
She didn’t how many she had had, but she knew it wasn’t normal to have that
many. Tobias was
talented.His
hands could drive a
woman to her death. She heard him grunt out in pleasure, felt his body relax
then he collapsed on top of her. He held his body over her with his elbows, but
he was trembling. She didn’t know how heavy he would be, but she knew she
didn’t want him to leave her. With her hands she pushed his elbows aside and
his whole weight collapsed on her.

Tobias lay still on top of her. She felt enveloped,
safe and the weight of his body on top of hers gave her satisfaction. But after
a couple of seconds, she could barely breathe.

“You need to get off,” she mumbled.

He rolled off of her and lay down at her side.
Marietta looked at him and realized his eyes were closed, but his chest heaved
as his breaths were heavy. She didn’t know if she should say anything, but
immediately she regretted the past couple of minutes. Marietta covered her face
with her hand as she came to terms with her recent foolish decision. Tobias had
now slept with every single woman in the movie crew. She had given him his
trophy as he emerged victorious in his sex marathon.

Marietta used a pillow to cover her naked body as she
sat up and leaned against the head board. She felt stupid and was mad at herself
especially since she was on the verge of tears.

Tobias sat up when he realized that she had moved away
from him. He stared at her, trying to decipher the expression on her face.
“That was great.” He led with a compliment hoping to at least get a smile from
her. But Marietta didn’t say a word, she didn’t move. All she did was cradle
her pillow to her chest and stare at him.

With all the other women he took this as his cue to
leave, but he didn’t want to. He and Marietta had shared something so earth shattering,
something he hadn’t shared with anyone before. He couldn’t leave knowing she
was upset. He wanted to hold her, cradle her in his arms and tell her…What did
he want to tell her? This was the strong willed successful woman who had done
her best to maintain a good reputation on each of her movie sets. He had
managed to stay out of her way for the past three months and now here he was,
sitting naked in her room a few seconds after he had broken her will. What were
the right words?

Marietta didn’t know what she wanted to hear from him,
but after the seconds flew by and he had said nothing, she decided to break the
silence. “You can leave now. You got what you wanted.”

She got off the bed and pulled her clothes on. She
left the wet top on the ground and pulled on a T-shirt she got from her
wardrobe.

“What do you mean?” She watched as Tobias pulled on
his pants, but made no attempt to reach for his T-shirt.

She stared at the black T-shirt on the floor and her
mind flashed to the second she’d pulled it off him. The way his muscles had
rippled with each movement, the feel of his sturdy flesh under her fingertips
made her hiss. She took a step back when he moved towards her. There was
nothing special between them. The past few minutes might have been the best in
her life but she knew Tobias and his reputation. It meant nothing to her and
even less to him, it was just sex.

“Are you honestly going to tell me you didn’t come
down here with the one goal, to get in my pants?” She snickered. “Or did you
happen to be coming to retrieve your sweat shirt, and ended up relieving the
both of us of our clothing.”
