Tormented

8. Him

Lucy POV

I knew he had the key. Just hoped he wouldn't use it.

He takes one step forward and I take one back. Why is he so...persistent?

"James, I don't understand why you're doing this, I'm not one of your hoes." I say, starting to feel angry.

"I need this job, Mr. Brown, for my parents and if the press finds out about this, I'll-," He cuts me off, suddenly taking several steps forward and hugging me to his chest.

I struggle against his arms, but it's no use, they're like iron bars, caging me into him. He puts his face in my hair and takes a deep breath.

I should really quit this job but without the money, I'm screwed and so are my parents.

"They won't find out. Just be mine." He says, pulling back from my hair looking at me in my eyes.

I tense.

How far is he willing to go just for some s*x? He has other girls who are more than willing, so why does he let his lust for me control him?

I look up at him.

"Let me go." I say with a calm voice confusing him, making him loosen his grip on me.

I slip away from his arms and feel a cold draft from the lack of heat, all of a sudden.

"As I've said many times before but obviously not clear enough, I'm not the type of girl to sleep around, so please leave me alone." I state, still looking directly into his eyes.

I turn to get my things so I can just go and hopefully forget this and what occurred two days ago, even happened.

James pov

Does she think I just want s*x from her?

I clench my jaw and squeeze my fists.

I'm not sure what I want from her. I just know she's...she's different from all my other girls. If she wants, I'll cut off all contact with them right now.

She turns and I look as she begins to get her stuff to leave.

Not like this, this isn't how I wanted it to be.

It's not over yet.

I grab her by her forearms and pin her to the wall, capturing both of her wrists in one of my hands and push myself against her.

"That isn't it." I say, looking down at her feet.

"What isn't it?" She asks, sounding confused and flustered.

"You're not like those other girls, I don't know how or why, but I know you're not. I've never wanted somebody like this. Never." I look up into her hazel eyes, now so up close to her I realize there are gold specks in her eyes.

Beautiful.

She gasps and her eyes go wide.

I lean in, looking at both her eyes and her lips. She does the same.

An inch away from her full lips now...

All of a sudden, she pulls back and my grip slips as it always does when she confuses me.

We were so close.

"Why...? Lucy?" I ask, looking as she gets her stuff and walks to the door.

"I gotta go." She says.

She's always running away. On our business trip, she can't though.

"Wait, don't forget we have our trip in a couple of days." I remind her, it was one of the original reasons I came down here.

Just thinking of me and her going away for a trip together alone makes me excited. In more than just one way.

She nods.

"How could I forget?"

I walk up to the door, get low in her face, and close to her ear.

"I know you don't have a boyfriend." I smirk, as I whisper into her ear.

"How?" Her confusion showing through her expression.When my secretary came back with the news, I felt relief and a little amusement. She lied to me. That's cute, considering I'm one of the biggest CEOs in the world. Getting information from people is simple when you have money. Finding out she didn't have a boyfriend took less than an hour.

"I have my sources, but never mind that this makes making you mine a lot easier." I whisper again.

She blushes and shakes her head.

"Just cause you know I don't have a boyfriend, doesn't mean anything at all." She says, looking at me still blushing a little.

"You're blushing." I grin and say.

She rolls her eyes, but her cheeks turn a brighter color red by the second.

She turns and leaves.

She's so adorable. For now, she can go. I'll let her, but soon, very soon she'll be mine.

All mine.
