Insufferable Proximity (22 page)

“I sure did.” she grinned smugly.

“Take it off.” his demand almost sounded like a request, as he stood towering over her.

“Make me.” she said, refusing to tell him no and giving him the added bonus of disciplining her.

Neither of them moved a muscle, their eyes locked in a silent duel for what seemed like an eternity. Then as if they both shared the same reflex, he abruptly charged towards her at the same time that she jumped up from the chair and sprinted towards the door. She had just reached the handle when he grabbed her and pulled her back to him.

“I warned you that next time you defied me there would be serious repercussions.” he held her tightly as he whispered in her ear.

“I didn’t tell you no.”

“But you wore the suit.”

“I didn’t have a choice.”

“Yes you did, you had two choices, either wear the clothes assigned to you or end the contract.” he abruptly let her go and she turned to face him, “Now I’ll make that decision for you, I’m ending the contract.” he walked over to his desk, leaving her speechless. She stood there a moment deciding how to react before walking over to stand next to him. “You can go now.” he said dismissively.

“I don’t feel comfortable wearing clothes like that to work,” she decided the truth would work best, “but if you were there today, I would have worn it.”

“Liar.”

“I’ll wear whatever suit you pick tomorrow, and for the rest of the week.” she whispered and the single act of submission floored him. He felt the pre-cum begin to seep from the head of his engorged manhood and he turned in his chair to face her.

“Then take off the suit.” he demanded and she nodded before slowly stripping down to her panties, “Only you can make plain-white, oversized underwear look sexy.” he reached over and slowly pulled her panties down then helped take them off. He tossed them in the garbage can before kissing her bare sex then picked her up and sat her on the desk. He rose from his chair and released his starved shaft from his pants then slowly inched into her.

Heaven went back on her hands, spreading her legs wider as he stretched his way inside of her. When they were connected, he bent his head to kiss her parted lips, his fingers biting into her hips as he pulled his thick erection from her tight sheath then forced his way back in. She arched her back as he impaled her, breaking their kiss, he kissed her breasts instead, and then took her nipple deep into his mouth.

She cried out as his iron-hard length gently caressed her deep inside, she rolled her hips as he withdrew then plunged back into her. He sped up, and she felt his thick shaft swell inside of her velvety channel, tickling a spot that sent her body into a lascivious frenzy. She felt her muscles tighten up then activate an explosion throughout her sex that forced her back to the desk.

He watched as a multitude of expressions played across her face then felt her sheath tighten and begin milking his engorged cock. He growled like a wild animal as he spewed his seed deep inside of her. He leaned over her, softly kissing her lips before reluctantly pulling himself out of the warmth of her body.

“Come on, let’s go upstairs.” he said.

“I can’t move,” she whined, her body felt drained and dried out from the powerful orgasm. Julian helped her off the desk then took off his jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. “Let’s just stay down here.”

“We can’t, we need to eat and then I need to eat you.” he grinned as he picked her up, “then I am going to fuck you until you fall asleep.” he finished as he headed up to his room.

Although Heaven’s body was exhausted, she could not fall asleep. Julian was next to her snoring up a storm but she laid there in a state confusion, wondering what the hell was happening to her.

What was Julian doing to her? The questions plagued her mind but the fact that she had no answers was unsettling as well as disturbing to her.

She finally dozed off to sleep in the wee hours of the morning, not long before her alarm went off.

***

Heaven opened her eyes the next morning unable to move her body. She was entirely spent, feeling completely drained, and even though she had nothing left to give, she still felt her body tingling in certain spots that refused to calm down.

To her surprise and his, Julian woke up with her alarm. He never got up this early, preferring to set his alarm for at least an hour after hers. However, he felt well rested and energized, despite the fact that he had only been asleep for a few hours. He was also hoping he would be able to fool around with Heaven for that extra hour before they got ready, but she was not having it. He had tried unsuccessfully to wake her up, but he had showered and gotten ready before she even batted an eye. He sat on the side of the bed and yanked the sheet from her nude body.

He was not prepared to suffer through another day without spending a little quality time with Heaven first. This constant need he had for her was starting to really take its toll on him. He had a little bit of a break yesterday because he had been in court for the majority of the day and had not seen Heaven until late that evening. Although he spent most of his day thinking about her.

“It’s time to get up, you’re going to be late,” he said running his hand over her flat belly, then up to play with her breasts, “And if you’re late, then I’m late too.” She grumbled something then turned away from him, grabbing the sheet and pulling it back over her head “Come on Princess, get up.”

“I can’t move.” she whined, every inch of her body was still sore.

“If you’re not out of this bed in the next thirty seconds,” he slid his hand up the back her thigh and headed straight for her sex. “I’m going to take that as an invitation.”  He had no more then finished his words when she sat straight up and jumped out of the bed, despite the ache in her lower body.

“No more,” she whispered, “I can’t take it.”

At work, the dueling lovers were going a little crazy but both for very different reasons. Heaven felt vulnerable and on display as she walked the floors of the firm, the form fitting suit outlining her assets in a damaging way. Everyone, from the secretaries to the lawyers down to the maintenance man, did a double take.

The group of secretaries, who had been bickering intensely about something as mundane as a cafeteria seat, immediately stopped talking as they watched Heaven Deville strut down the hall.

“Is that-” Reese squinted her eyes at the woman who resembled Ms. Deville, but was dressed like a business model.

“I don’t believe it.” Gloria’s voice was low and full of surprise.

“OMG, that
is
Ms. Deville!” Reese’s eyes grew wide as she realized it was her. “And she actually looks like a girl.”

“She looks ridiculous.” Juliette frowned in contempt.

“I think she looks amazing.” Gloria’s smile widened as she watched Juliette’s jealousy begin to blossom. “That suit is from the new Stevia Zell line, her signature business collection.”

“I didn’t even think that line was available yet.” Reese said as a sliver of envy washed over her. She would give her right arm for an original Stevia Zell suit, she was one of the hottest clothing designers to date.

“Stevia Zell is a has-been.” Juliette scoffed as she raised her chin haughtily.

“You’re crazy.” Reese looked at Juliette in disgust.

“More like she’s jealous.” Gloria teased as she flipped her thick, chestnut-colored waves.

“Jealous of Ms. Deville?” Juliette’s laugh was dry and humorless, “You’re pathetic, there is absolutely
nothing
to be jealous about.” she finished before she turned around and walked away.

By lunch, Julian needed a little taste to hold him over, so he walked to Heaven’s office and let himself in, only to find that she was not inside. He walked down to find her getting a cup of coffee in the cafeteria then walked over to her, ignoring Juliette, Gloria and Adele, who were watching him intently.

“I need to speak with you about the Massy file.” Julian said and Heaven nodded.

The secretaries were trying not to appear as if they were eavesdropping on the two lawyers. They were oblivious to how obvious they were pretending not to look at them, while covertly stealing glances and listening intently to their conversation.

“What Massey file?” Adele whispered to the secretaries, listening to their conversation, Gloria shrugged her shoulders in response.

“Of course.” Heaven answered, refusing to look at him. He stood there for a moment, unable to walk away from her. Damn, why could he not have his way and fuck her right here, right now, regardless of who was watching.

“Now.” he said firmly but not in the rude tone he normally used towards her.

Heaven finished making her coffee and walked towards the door, Julian preferred to walk behind her to stare at her ass, envisioning it without the material covering it.

The second they were gone, Gloria turned to Juliette.

“Did you see that?” she gasped, “No hostility, no animosity and no heated words. Has hell frozen over?” she looked at Juliette in shook.

“It was nothing.” Juliette refused to even acknowledge what she saw, there was no way in hell the two of them had anything going on. To Juliette, Heaven was no threat, she saw her as more of a hunched back monster then competition. Heaven was unattractive and there was no way a man like Julian would ever lower his standards for someone as common as her. “I’m sure Ayden King is behind their civility.”

“That’s more than just the work of Ayden King.”

“So what are you trying to say Miss. Gray?” Juliette asked with rising irritation. Gloria watched Juliette’s anger surface and grinned to herself. “That you think they’re suddenly BFF’s because you see them speak civilly to each other in the break room?” she scoffed, “That sounds ridiculous.”

“It really does.” Adele agreed and Gloria frowned. It probably was nothing, Gloria knew how much the two of them hated each other, but she would fight the ludicrous cause just to get under Juliette’s skin.

***

Julian followed Heaven into his office then locked the door behind them. She turned to him, knowing that familiar sound and what it ultimately stood for.

“What did you need?” she asked politely.

“You.”

“No,” she shook her head, “we agreed not at the office.”

“No I didn’t agree to that. The only agreement I know about is your agreement to honor your contract.”

“We only have a few more hours left until work is finished.” she said looking at her watch.

“So.” he shrugged, not caring, he wanted her now.

“So, let’s just wait.”

“I can’t wait, I tried, believe me I did.” he pulled her closer to him “Just give me a kiss.” he said then lowered his mouth to hers, but she stopped him.

“A kiss is like a gateway drug for you, it always leads to other things.”

“Either you kiss me or I’m going to kiss you.” he slid his finger over her sex “here.” she quickly kissed his lips and then as she tried to pull away from him. He would not let her go, he grabbed her and kissed her hungrily. She wondered how the hell she would be able to calm him down enough to get out of his office in one piece. She slowed the kiss down, sliding her hand on his chest as he allowed her to pull away.

“Let’s wait until we get back to your house.” she purred and he smiled, liking what she was trying to do. She was learning, but it was not going to work right now, he needed her too badly.

“I can’t.” he slid his hand between her legs and kissed her again. She had just begun to feel her will giving into him when she heard his secretary over the intercom.

“Mr. Ian King is here to see you, sir.” Mrs. Cooke announced and Heaven pulled back quick, adjusting her clothes.

“Hey,” he whispered “you wait right here.” Julian walked over and opened his office door, Ian stood there for a moment, looking surprised to see them together.

“If you don’t need anything else, Mr. King.” Heaven said to Julian before she nodded, then turned and nodded at Ian as she left the office. She could feel Julian’s eyes burning into her back as she left. Ian looked at his brother strangely for a moment, wondering what that was about. Julian King and Heaven Deville in the same room together without getting into an argument?

Was there a blue moon in the sky during the middle of the afternoon?

“What do you want?” Julian snapped at his brother. Ian grinned to himself, seeing his brothers foul mood, Ian assumed Ms. Deville had been harassing him about something, or they had been in the middle of another one of their arguments.

“We need to discuss the Jackson case.” Ian walked closer.

“Now?”

“I’m leaving after lunch, so yes, now.” Ian snapped back and sat in the chair across from his desk waiting for Julian to sit down.

By the time Ian finished Heaven was already in a meeting and Julian knew there was no way he would be able to see her until after work.

***

Heaven sat at the large table with a few of her co-workers, but her mind was not on the meeting, her boss speaking or even the task at hand. All she could think about was Julian and the fiasco he was creating in every aspect of her life. Work was becoming a strange place for her now, everything seemed so different. Julian was the cause for the gloomy cloud that was beginning to creep through the office, he was pushy and way to aggressive for her taste. He wanted her all the time, and outright refused to keep his hands off her, and although she tried hard to avoid him, he would not let her out of his sight for too long.
