Chapter 6
Fresh start
After Kyle left in a hurry, I stood in the hallway with the worst hangover headache I ever had. Eyes feel heavy, and I can't recall how much wine we drank or when we did fall asleep on top of each other. Luckily my friend is gay, no chance of anything else happening last night. I don't need to add to my messy life right now.
I don't know if I'll ever want a man again. I can't trust men after what Brian did to Amanda and me; sure, I know she was a b***h, but I never thought we would sleep with my boyfriend. I would like to have a man love me and take care of me and not have to fight for everything in my life. I don't think I would dare to let anyone in again; Brian messed me up for a good long time to come.
Shit, I need to get ready for the new job that my awesome friend got for me. I stick of old wine and whatever, but I stick and look horrible. I hurry into the shower and scrub feverously to look presentably and not like I have a hangover. I don't want them to see what a mess I am or how broken my heart is. I exit the shower and look in the mirror; I kind of look good. Well, I need some makeup and then get dressed in something gorgeous and professional-looking. My new job is the CEO Assistant after all. I can't believe that Kyle could pull off getting me a job and the CEO Assistant; I couldn't believe it at first.
It's time to get my ass downtown San Francisco to the office and start my first day. Today I'm not taking my car; I promised Kyle that we go out to grab a drink after work. I'm ready to leave to catch the cable car then walk a short distance to get to the office.
I finally get to the building where Milestone Media is located, and it's a tall building, and the only company here is Milestone Media. Kyle has told me that they have other buildings in the city. This is the main office; they have Magazines and TV stations located in different parts of the city. The main office has legal and financial personal and other office workers besides the bosses. He didn't tell me what titles or kinds of jobs most of them have, and I didn't want to ask. From what Kyle told me, there are about 70 employees in this building, and it's all kinds of office workers or paper pushers, as he likes to say.
I walk into the building and look where to go; I am confused. A young man comes up to me and asks if he can help me find where I am going or how I am meeting. I tell him the only name that comes into my mind, Kyle Wilson, the Assistant of the COO, and I say can you tell me how to find him? I forgot to ask Kyle where in the building I was supposed to go.
He tells me that he'll show me halfway there and tell me how to find the COO's office. He looks at me a little curiously and asks; Do you know the COO? I tell him; No, his assistant Kyle is my friend. I didn't want to say that this was my first day here in the company.
I partway with the young man, and I have to walk just a minute or two before I am by Kyles's desk. I smile when I see my friend; I almost get a heat stroke from seeing the most attractive man I have ever seen. Whole crap, I said no men for a long, long time, but this man could make me regret my decision. A saint would not be unfazed by his good looks. This can't be good; he is looking at me with heat in his eyes; I could easily just walk over to him and jump his bones. Luckily Kyle opens his big mouth and starts to talk.
The hotness that is a very fit and muscular man is talking to me, I just stand there like a fool, just in time I remember to answer him and Kyle. I can't have them believe that I am an i***t on the first day here. His name is Dominic, which suits him well. He told me that everyone calls him Dom. I can't help to wonder Dom as is in he likes to dominate in and out of bed, maybe? Oh f**k, stop this frayed brain of mine. How will I work in this office with a hot man like him? I haven't had s*x in months; Brian never shows much interest in having s*x with me the last year. I know now why but still, it leaves me hot and bothered. Especially seeing a hot walking sin like Dominic. I have a hard time controlling my emotions as we walk side by side to his father's office. I have done office romance before, and that didn't end well. The CEO is Dominic's father. I didn't know that; Damn Kyle for not telling me anything of value. I can't help but wonder if his father is hot as a sin.
Dominic knocks one time hard on the door that has a sign that says: Nathan Matthews CEO.
Here we go. I have to enter some time, I need this job. I can't mess it up already.
Dominic walks in before me, and he is a tall man, so I don't see much walking behind him. I hear a man that sounds a little grumpy, but his voice is dark and hot; it could make me c*m just listening to it. I bet he is too good looking for my good too. I walk in and stand next to Dominic, and I see the man behind his desk; he is looking at some papers, so I don't see his face. He has dark brown hair with silver shimmers in it, not much but still. He has more dark brown hair than silver, but that man can run havoc with my emotions. He is definitely a silver fox.
The man lifts his head, and I see his handsome face; I am f****d! He is just as sinfully hot as his son; I feel my panties getting damp. I want them both. Damn it! Why did I have to start working here? Yeah, right, that damn Brian is at fault. How in the hell am I going to work for these damn hot men and not get into their pants. I don't want or need a man, my brain is talking, but my thumping heart and pulsing p***y tells another story. This is going to be so damn hard to work for him. Nathan repeats my name after I introduce myself. Wow, I get weak in the knees, and it melts me hearing him saying my name. Then suddenly, his tone of voice gets a bit forced and hard as he tells Dom to show me to my desk and give me codes and stuff to the computer. Nathan never got up from the desk, just sat there, and I had to walk to him when I introduced myself as I greeted and took his hand. I didn't want to let go of his hand. I wonder what marvelous things that hand can do? I wonder why he wouldn't stand up to greet me?
I saw his hot brown eyes wander all over my body, and there was heat in them. I know he wants what I want, just like his son did too.
Dominic and I walk out of The CEO's office; Dominic shows me what I need to know and says that I can just ask him anything if I need help, and then he tells me his office number. Then he leaves me to start my job; I get busy, and I am a fast learner, so it's not hard to get the hang of things. I have worked as a secretary for my ex.
Times flies, and it's nearly lunchtime; it's the CEO's phone line that buzzes me. I answer, and he invites me to have lunch with him. He sounds so confident and friendly when he asks me; there is no way I can say no.
We walk to a nearby restaurant and enter the restaurant. We sit down to eat.
I am genuinely enjoying my time with this man. Nathan is warm and pleasant, not to speak of hot. We sit and talk and get to know each other a bit when the nightmare ex-boyfriend comes to ruin things for me. I am sitting and having lunch with my hot boss, and my ex wants to mess with me. I see something in Nathan's eyes. It's like we are kindred spirits; I know what he wants. I want that too, very badly. I just know he wants to mess with that asshole of an ex of mine. He looks at me and winks at me; I want to play this game. Nathan is too good at it! It shocked me; he told my ex-boyfriend that office hours are more fun as he bends me over his desk and f***s her ruthlessly. Wow, I look at him, and if I didn't know, I would believe him too. Damn, that is hot! The thought of him bending me over his desk makes my panties not just damp but actually wet. I play along to annoy the f**k out of Brian. I ask Nathan if we can leave, and he calls me Angel cakes; wow, in the voice, he says that could just make me c*m. This is a dangerous game. I love this way too much. I have to remind myself this is my boss.
We walked to the counter to pay, but before he pays he took me by my hand, and he had lovely hands and then held me tight to his warm body. I can feel the heat through his suit. I bet that Brian's eyes are glued to our backs. Nathan pays for lunch, and when we are about to leave, Nathan makes eye contact with me, and I feel a hand on my shoulder; I don't need to look. It can only be Brian. I see Nathan leaning in to kiss me; I feel conflicted. I want to kiss him and not because Brian is behind me. No, because I want him, I know I shouldn't. He is my boss, and it's my first day working for him. I let him kiss me, and I can't keep control of my emotions. I kiss him back feverously and suck on his lower lip. I never turn around to acknowledge Brian. After our hot kiss, we walk out of the restaurant, and I feel happy and giddy even though I know I shouldn't. We walk back to the office holding hands and laughing about how good it felt to mess with my ex-boyfriend. I hoping and dreading the effect that kiss and handhold might have in store for me.
I can't see this leading to a relationship, maybe lust, because it's clear we both feel it. It is clear as day we both are fighting it as hard as we can, but I believe I am fighting it more. I can lose my job, and I can't risk everything again on an office romance. Nathan is also 18 years older than me. His son is more my age. I need to listen to my brain, not my hormones. We walk into the building and the lobby holding hands, and we both look down at our hands. He lets go of my hand, but he caresses my hand with his thumb before he does. I gaze into his beautiful mesmerizing brown eyes and almost lean in to kiss him, that's when he clear his throat and says hello to Dominic, and the spell is broken, and I find my sense again.
