Seduction: Book 3 (Strong Young Women Series) (13 page)

“Congratulations, Ana. Gabe hasn’t stopped talking about your engagement.”

Ana laughed, wondering if Andrea was talking about the same Gabriel Boyd. “Thanks, Andrea. Though I seriously doubt it. But then that could be an alien in his place.”

An
drea looked at Ana’s security behind her. She directed them to a meeting room off to the side where they could sit and wait for Ana, then she motioned for Ana to go in Gabe’s office.

Ana smiled, glad that he was not in a meeting with someone else. She walked in and heard Gabe greet his caller.
Ana saw his signal that he needed five minutes and he would be with her. She nodded and walked round to his side of the desk. She mouthed a silent, ‘hi,’ and leaned down to lightly graze his lips, then withdrew before he had a chance to react.

Ana turned his chair around and knelt in front of him. She picked up his remote and locked the door, then took his belt and unfastened it. She smiled impishly at his questioning stare, while he tried to keep up his conversation with his caller. He seeme
d to be struggling in the concentration department and Ana was afraid he would cut it short before she was done with him. She took a pen and the notepad on his desk and wrote something down then showed him.

Gabe read the short sentence Ana had written on his notepad. Who writes all caps, except someone screaming at you? Well she certainly wanted him to hear her loud and clear. He wondered what she was up to now. He had a good guess but hoped he was wrong. He read the statement again.

‘DO NOT END THE CONVERSATION FOR ANY REASON.’

He arched an eyebrow at her but she only smiled and put the pad down, then went back to his pants. He heard his zipper slide down and struggled even more to keep his conversation going. He almost groaned into the phone when she slipped her tiny hand inside and took out his cock which was doing a happy dance. Gabe hadn’t even realized he had stopped mid sentence
until she looked at him and nodded to the receiver in his hand. Then the voice on the other side filtered through asking if he was still on the line.

Ana palmed Gabe’s cock and ran her hand up and down his cock several times, caressing it on each stroke.
She leaned down and licked the precum dripping down the side of his cock. She started from the bottom, licking all the way up until she caught it midway down his cock., licking until she reached his swollen mushroom head. A couple more licks dried the rest, but soon after he started leaking again and Ana smiled, taking the full head into her mouth.

“Hmmm,” she softly said in appreciation and popped him out of her mouth. Ana grabbed his balls in one hand and rubbed them against each other, then took his cock again in her mouth. She squeezed both his balls and base of his cock at the same time as she hollowed her
cheeks and sucked hard.

Ana heard the receiver rattle and fall on the desk, then picked up and slammed on its base.
She smiled then increased pressure and speed simultaneously, bobbing her head up and down.

Gabe hissed into the phone then surrendered and barely managed to d
isconnect before he groaned deep in his throat. He brought both hands to Ana’s head and held her on each side of her head moving along as she sucked and squeezed him with just enough pressure to make him swear repeatedly until he just couldn’t take it anymore, nor hold the impending result.

Ana passed her tongue along the slit on his mushroom
head and felt him tense then erupt into her mouth groaning loud enough to alert his assistant and security detail if he hadn’t had a sound proof office.

Ana tucked him back in and rose to kiss him. “You hung up,” she reprimanded him, then took his lips again before he could respond. Ana started to lose herself in the kiss with Gabe,
when his phone rang. She smiled, then laughed outright when she realized that was probably his caller that he had hung up on. “Bye,” she said waving with one hand and grabbing the remote with the other.

“Ana,” Gabe called ignoring the phone and zipping his trousers.

She clicked the door, unlocking it, then dropped his remote back on his desk. “Answer the phone,” she told him pointing to his private line that was ringing. “I’ll see you later.” She rushed out of the office, almost bumping into Andrea who was carrying some files she was handing over to someone in front of her. “Oops, sorry. See you Andrea.”

She made it to the elevator but realized she couldn’t go down without Jimmy and Fuzzy. Gabe reached her before they did, and he
unceremoniously pulled her to him and took her lips with enough heat to scorch the building. “I’m coming for you, be ready for me.” Then he left and nodded to her bodyguards.

Ana walked into the e
levator blindly and laughed when she saw Andrea fanning herself. The woman beside her kept looking between Ana and Gabe’s now closed door. She left and went straight to her new home.

Stefano was back. Kelly couldn’t wait until her shift was finished. Another five more minutes and she would be out of this place. Nothing had been exciting today. It had been a slow day. Very slow day. Giving Brad the perfect opportunity to nag her at every chance he got.

Kelly couldn’t understand why he kept coming
on to her when she had told him she wasn’t interested. Worse why he thought that he could insult her and she would let it go and still want to date him. What kind of girls was he used to? She shivered and was thankful that she had cut it off before he had had the chance to reduce her confidence in herself.

She joined the other interns and glued herself to
Grace who couldn’t stand Brad. She was the only one she had told about her and Rafe. Since she didn’t see Ana as often as she had been used to and would have liked, she was glad she had Grace to talk to, when their shifts coincided.

“Somebody needs to squash him like the bug he is,”
Grace said with a smile, looking in Brad’s general direction.

Kelly laughed at Grace
’s forced smile. “That bad?” she asked.

“He’s a bitter pill to swallow on any given day, but when you have to spend more hours in his presence talking about non business issues, it’s arg!” she said and made a spitting action.

Kelly hugged Grace. “I’d better go while I still can,” she whispered to her. “Bye. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Kelly waved and hurried towards the door, meeting her bodyguards who had been waiting for her, close to the exit.

As soon as she was th
rough the door, Stefano picked her up and dropped her back on her feet. “Kels. So good to see you.”

“
Same here.” She kissed his cheek and rubbed the shiny lipgloss mark off. “Hi Manuel.”

“Kelly,” Manuel said and hugged her in greeting.

“Smells good,” she said turning to Ana who was coming out of the kitchen. “Lasagna?” she asked. The aroma itself was promising that the taste would be even better.

“Yes, and you have just enough time to take a shower before the food is ready.”

Kelly rushed to her bedroom and took the quick shower. If only she didn’t have to go to work tomorrow. At least she had the weekend off and they could get to chill with Stefano before he started work on Monday. “I’m back,” she told Ana as she walked into the kitchen. “Need help?”

“I’ve already set the table, and it’s just the four of us and two bodyguards for the night. If you can grab the salad from the fridge while I take these glasses to the table.”

Kelly took the salad bowl from the fridge and followed Ana to the table. Her mouth was already watering at the smell of the mouth watery lasagna dish. They all served themselves, then Kelly fixed plates for their two night time guards. They opted to sit in the kitchen rather than the sitting room. Kelly handed them their plates and told them to help themselves to drinks in the fridge. Before they had tried to offer them wine or beer, but declined each time. It wasn’t after repeated tries that someone had told them they couldn’t drink while on the job.

Manuel left soon after dinner, leaving them to
reconnect. He made arrangements to check on Stefano the next day. Ana told him she would hang out with Stefano during the day, so in case they left the apartment, he could check on them on her mobile.

As soon as Manuel was out of the door, Ana turned to Stefano, “So you and Manuel are still an item, I see. How are things going?”

“First things first, let me see that ring again. Couldn’t pay that much attention to it earlier. Sorry about that.”

Ana grinned. “No sorry is necessary. I get it. Manuel’s hot look almost scorched me too,” she responded fanning herself.

“Sorry, I missed that,” Kelly said with a sad face.  “Since we are now roomy’s I’m sure I’ll be seeing a lot of Manuel here, right?”

“I hope so. We’ve been talking while I was winding down things, and things looked promising, but then you never know now that we are in the same city.”

“Well, isn’t it easier than a long distance relationship?” Kelly asked.

“True, but then you also get to see the other person’s faults that much faster. Or I guess it depends how slowly or fast we move things along. I just don’t want to rush things,” he told them. “It’s hard enough being in a strange city, then having you two boinking his brothers would make it even harder if we rushed things and then broke up.”

“Don’t look at me,” Kelly said to him. “Ana is the one that’s engaged.”

“And you still have a steady relationship with Rafe. Close to engaged if you ask me,” Ana answered. “He said he loved you didn’t he?”

Stefano looked at Kelly. “Are you holding out on me Kels?”

Kelly sighed. “No. He did say it, but it didn’t mean anything.”

“And why do you think that?” Stefano asked asked.

“He hasn’t said it again. It was just one of those words that he said and probably regrets.”

“He does love you,” Stefano told her taking her hand in his. “I saw the way he would look at you when you were in the same room. That was before I left, so I can imagine it must get hot in the room now that you guys are openly going out.”

“It’s been pretty interesting to watch,” Ana agreed.

“Hmmm. This should be fun. But tell me about Brad. Is he still bothering you?”

“The guards help when they can, and when they cannot, that’s when he pounces. I seriously don’t understand him.”

“Don’t most men let go when a girl breaks up with them?” Ana asked Stefano. “Or is it that he wanted to be the one to do the breaking up?”

“Nah…I think Brad is just someone who is
so full of himself. Some guys don’t believe a girl can resist them. Unfortunately I haven’t seen him, nor talked to him. But my guess is that he is that type of person,” he said. “Or maybe I’m just being too quick to judge.”

“I don’t think so,” Kelly agreed. “You’ve hit the nail on the head with that assessment.”

Stefano suggested passing by the hospital on a day he could and both were at work. Maybe if he saw the ‘Brad character’, he kept saying, then he could get a feel of him.

“We got side tracked, now the ring,” he said pulling Ana’s hand into his. “It’s absolutely gorgeous. I’m glad everything worked out between the two of you.”

Kelly agreed. “He really did go all out on that ring. But then he was mesmerized the moment he met Ana.”

             
Ana rolled her eyes at Kelly. “You weren’t even there, Kelly.”

             
“I didn’t have to be. But I was there when he sent the flowers, when he popped up here and took us to dinner, when you practically sat in his lap that day at the club.”

Ana raised her hand, with her palm straight out, asking Kelly to stop. “Okay, okay, okay. I get it. He was a pain at the time, but I’m glad he persisted because I really didn’t see us together.”

“Oh, and that I pushed you,” Kelly reminded her.

“Yeah, you did push me into his arms. Thanks friend.”

“And that I made him jealous enough to make the trip from New York to Hawaii just to see me,” Stefano added.

They all rolled into laughter, remembering their Hawaii trip a couple months back. That had been something. Very surprising and interesting too.

“You too Stefano, thanks.” She stood up and pulled Kelly’s hand. “Kelly needs to go to work early in the morning. You need to sleep after the long flight, and adjust to the time difference. Let’s go to bed,” she said and took Stefano’s hand in her other hand.

They said goodnight to Stefano as he went towards Ana’s old bedroom, and Kelly and Ana walked towards Kelly’s bedroom.

Ana briefly woke up the next morning as Kelly prepared to go to work. As soon as she was out, she went back to sleep. A couple of hours later, she finally woke up and dressed. She walked into her office and got to work. She tried to avoid making noise and waking Stefano. She was glad when she heard Stefano move around in the bathroom, just as she was wondering what to make for brunch. She knocked on the other side of the Jack and Jill bathroom, and asked him what he wanted for breakfast.

             
“We could go and see my new office at the Sullivan & Sullivan building, if you like. I need to set some things up there and you being there will make it go faster. You don’t have to do anything, just talking.”
