"Loraine, what did you put yourself in this time? A date with Dordrich, really? I thought our circle was closed. We didn't agree on you messing with another man."
Danner is clearly frustrated by what he's read in that tabloid this morning.
With a slight feeling of irritation I listen to him, since when do I owe him an explanation about my s*x life? He is crossing the line more and more. "Don't get ahead of yourself, Danner. You don't have exclusive rights on me. You were dating a fashion model last year, did I tell you anything about that? She left her underwear in your car and you had s*x with her in your penthouse in Manhattan. Listen, you're free as long as you're safe, and that's how it is with me." I let him know coldly.
I certainly don't need a possessive lover now, Danner is starting to get overconfident. Yesterday he had no problem with Alex joining in, but today he is angry with Dordrich being associated with me. Perhaps he considers Dordrich a serious rival? Letting go of Danner is not something I would want to do, but his behavior is really unacceptable.
He has given himself quite an edge over others, knows almost everything about my private and business life, but there is a limit to everything. He has the habit of keeping away any man in whom I have an interest in one way or another. For a long time, I've figured out why my other dates don't last more than once. But I also know about Danner's secret relationships, shut up about it because I know that a man's physical needs extend beyond what I'm willing to give to him. As long as I can keep Danner with me I'm happy but he shouldn't overestimate himself.
"It's not the same”, he argues. “She was the face of my new launch and it was inevitable that she was seen with me a few times. But you and I are committed partners, if there are any changes you should at least let me know. I shouldn't have heard it from the tabloids."
Oooohhhh Goodness, this is getting tiring. I think quality also comes with stress. Danner is my favorite, but not indispensable. And I'm not waiting for more stress in my life, bed partners should provide relaxation, aren’t they?. "Danner, let's put this behind us. I'm stressed right now. What can you do for me?". A hoarse laugh comes through my phone, he knows exactly what I mean, he never disappoints me.
"I'll pick you up in half an hour. I'll call you when I'm in the underground."
He disconnects the call right away, he certainly doesn't want to waste any time. Danner has a private parking space on my company property, his privileges here are almost equal to mine. Before long, he will also have the authority to sign certain documents in my name.
I now realize that I've given him too much space in recent years to think he's the most important man in my life, hence his attitude today. But I will have to slow it down, if I still want to keep him I will have to set the boundaries sharply.
"Kaylah", I call that b***h secretary of mine. "I'm going to take a break. Take the stress out of my system". She gives me a knowing look, a mocking smile on her lips. I know that she knows. My bag and phone, and I’m out the door to the elevator.
When I reach the parking lot, I feel a man's hand grab me tenderly and push to one side. Startled, I turn my face and can just recognize the masculine features of a man. His expensive cologne mix body odor penetrates my nostrils, I inhale it even more strongly. His lips meet mine in a sweet kiss, our tongues intertwine like they’ve done this many time before. My hands go their own way behind his head, wriggling his hair and pulling his head closer.
Our kiss deepens, a shiver runs through my body. This is unashamedly delicious, I could go on like this for hours. Breathlessly our lips part and I look straight into the face of ........ Dordrich!!
Who else? Who else can give me this feeling of completeness?
"Hey," I gasp. "What are you doing here?".
A hoarse laugh escapes his throat. "I can't forget you. You're wandering through my mind, I can't get you out of my head. Woman, what have you done to me?". We now both laugh with relief at his words, this is the nicest compliment I've had from a man. My arms go around him again and I press my body against him. He strokes my hair, while another burning hand on my back, pushes me closer to his chest. It seems like we can't get enough of each other.
He searches for my lips again and after one last kiss, he lets go of me and walks to his black-gray Maserati. My eyes are glued to him, his confident steps, his muscular back. When my eyes fall on his well-groomed slender fingers, all kinds of amorous fantasies run through me.
Before he gets in, he glances at me and given the suspicious grin around his mouth, he must have read the longing in my eyes. 'I must have this man no matter what. This hunger is unbearable. Even if it is just for one wonderful moment', flashes through my mind. For the first time I have experienced this feeling of raw desire for a man.
He slowly drives away under my staring eyes.
And then I remember my meeting with Danner.
Shit!
Hopefully, he hasn't left his office yet. I take my phone out of my bag and press his number. I called out and he doesn't answer. A second time, he still won't take the call. This is the first time in the years of our relationship that he rejects me. He always picks up at the first two rings.
Strange!
