Chapter 15
Embarrassing…
I look at Dominic as he leaves my desk after talking to me. He told me he wanted to work without tension. I'm glad we aren't working much together. Dominic turns and looks at me; he is a good-looking and fit man but too much trouble. I need to admit to myself that I still want him even though he hurt me. I know it's not like he is mine or that he cheated on me, but I still feel like he did that. It makes me feel disgusted when I think of that night; he has s*x with someone else minutes or something before me. I need to realize he is an asshole. It all is a complete mess. My mind drifts to the other man that is a deep craving in me.
Nathan, oh my god, what does he think about me? I saw Nathan's look in the elevator. Nathan doesn't leave my thoughts; he is there constantly. I need him.
I am as bad as Dominic; wanting two men? Or am I worse? I'm hungry for father and son. I can't make up my mind who I want more. Nathan is my secret Daddy yearning. A hot, older, and domineering man. He's a fit man with delicious muscles and silver streaks in his hair. He looks like he can be possessive, just what I secretly love.
I start to work with some files; all I can see in my mind is Nathan and his facial expression. It pains me what he might be thinking about me. I don't want to talk to him about what I did with his son, but I need to know that Nathan doesn't see me as a slut.
I walk to Nathan's office and knock on the door, and he doesn't answer; I don't know what possessed me. I open the door to his office; there are sounds from his bathroom. It sounds as if he is in the shower. I sit in one of the chairs in front of his desk, across from his office chair.
I hope I haven't crossed the line. Walking into his office and sitting in a chair like it's the most natural thing. The reality is I haven't talked much with Nathan. At first, just pleasantries and then the unexpected lunch invitation. It was surprising but enjoyable. Lunch isn't a date, but our lunch was different. It felt like a date with kisses and drowning in each other eyes. I might be reading too much into it, but it felt magical.
I was lost in thoughts, and suddenly, there he was, the man that occupied my mind.
He is sitting across from me in his comfy office chair and looking at me with a gaze I can't decipher. My guess is pity.
Nathan looks me in the eyes, making me feel like he can see every secret. He could ask me anything, and I would willingly tell him anything. The sound of him clearing his throat breaks the spell, and I am back. I can think with a clear mind for now.
I am eager to say something; anything will do. I feel desperate to find some words.
He must know how desperate I am not to fall helplessly and act on hunger.
"What brings you to my office?"
I cursed myself for letting my words sound harsher than I meant. I find it hard to control my feelings when thinking about my son's hands on her sexy body.
"Mr. Matthews…" my voice falters as I tried to reply.
"Please, didn't we agree that you would call me Nathan?"
I see a slight embarrassing blush. Oh God, she's so f*****g adorable. I have the urge to kiss her and show who is her man.
"I'm sorry. Nathan, I'm sorry I invaded your privacy. I hoped we could talk about something."
"Angelica, I want you always to feel free to talk with me about anything that's on your mind. I would love it if you felt free to come to my office anytime you want to."
I feel weak in the knees looking at this handsome and kind man. My weak reply comes softly.
"Thank you, Nathan."
"Nathan, I'm so embarrassed and do not at all want to have this conversation, but with that said. I think you need to know this. I hope you will still want me to be your secretary."
"Wait, angel. Don't fret. I think what is troubling you, my dear."
I see panic written all over her face. Of course, she doesn't know this, but I can't fire her for having s*x with my son. I am in no way glad, but has the power here. I am sure she thinks I do because I am the boss and owner of this company.
"Oh no, I don't mean for that to happen, I swear."
"Calm yourself down, my sweet. I know my son too well. I don't blame you or intend to fire you or what else you had on your mind. Dom told me briefly what happened if there would be tension so I'd know why."
I'm flustered and finding it difficult to look at Nathan.
He stands up, walks around the desk, stands by my chair, and looks at me. He took his index finger and tenderly pushed my chin up with his finger. I feel forced to make eye contact. Nathan is a tall man; I'd say about 6'4". I make eye contact, and I am surprised. The emotion in his eyes and face is love and something tender. I want to know what he is thinking. I want to tell you what I am thinking. I can't explain my actions. I lost my mind completely.
I swiftly stand up, rush into him, and crush him with a hug. I'm only 5.5", so I could not crush a tall, buff man like him. He lets me hug him, and he even holds me like I'm valuable.
I sink into him as he holds me with tenderness. I have never felt this safe as I do now in Nathan's arms. I wish he would never let me go.
A knock on the door just seconds before someone roughly pulls the double doors open.
"Mr. Matthews, I am sorry to disturb you, but I am looking for Angelica Barrington; they say you hired her as your secretary."
I am seething with fury at the disrespect and audacity of that underdeveloped boy, Brian Sullivan. How dare he saunter into my office as if it was his.
