Lost in You (#Book 2)

Chapter 12

For a moment I remember the first time I saw Mark and Austin talking. Their ability to integrate so much information in such a short time impressed me. I’ll have to do the same… Stay focused Rach! Austin goes around the chair. He stops next to me and lowers his head to lean towards me. A solemn look on his face. “Do you want to stay in my playground, show me what you’ve got? I’m not going to hand it to you on a plate.”

The lover has disappeared. I have in front of me the head of the company. If I don’t want to be eaten alive, I must remain firm. I’m seized by a strange feeling… Despite the doubts that I have, I can feel the excitement. This sensation is similar to the one that so often overwhelmed me at the beginning of my relationship with Austin.

No matter how confident I am, Austin believes in my abilities. It’s up to me to go for it. The tone of the challenge is back between us. Austin finally considers me to be worthy, he’s giving me the opportunity to enter his world.

I turn to face him. “So I have carte blanche to choose my collaborators?”

“Yes.”

“Does Mark know?”

“I sent him a message this morning, first thing.”

I lift my chin and look into his eyes. “Where’s my contract?”

“It’s already being written.”

“I’m going to need some time to think.”

“You have…” he marks a calculated silence and then gives me a carnivorous smile. “Five minutes.”

I suppress a smile. “Aren’t you going to give me some management lessons?”

“Only if you ask me.”

“And my salary?” the question amuses him, but I don’t give in. He’s already had one over on me.

“160,000 annual and profit sharing in the firm.”

“200,000 and I want the best with me.”

He’s getting closer. We’re facing each other like two duelists in the middle of the room. The tension emanating from the pair of us has nothing to do with a conventional interview. “I’m used to negotiating, Rachel, but the salary I grant is fair.”

His warm breath caresses my lips. His eyes are so intense that I have trouble not lowering mine. “You’re going to have to reevaluate your fair on the up because it’s take it or leave it.”

He leans his head to the side and puts on a cute pout. A little more and I could forget the businessman… But I don’t let myself be fooled. “180,000 and you can choose among our best collaborators.”

“Understood, I won’t disappoint you, Mr. William.”

Austin moistens his lips, still staring at me. I lose a little of my self-assurance. Without saying a word, he moves towards the elevator. I observe his feline and confident allure, already won over by his s*x appeal, despite my attempt to negotiate. As Austin presses the number of his floor, he turns around and stares at me for a moment.

“I’ll let you immerse yourself in your space, I’ll come back later.” Austin smiles at me, and I breathe out a sigh. I feel like I’ve just sprinted a hundred meters. That was an example of William the Great!

Suddenly, I feel weak… Will I live up to all these responsibilities? I have a weight in my stomach, and my breathing is jerky. I sit down for a moment to think about all that’s just happened. I look around the room, gaping. I can’t believe it. Am I really going to run this whole floor?!

Once again Austin really went all out. It’s just about work and not about our relationship, but I know he’s doing it to show me his world, his life, what drives him. he wants me to understand what it means to have enormous responsibilities, my choices will have consequences for the lives of thousands of people.

Because I’ll have the means to do good actions on a large scale. Finally, it’s above all a real proof of confidence in me. He who’s a control freak, he wouldn’t let me run a whole department if he thought it could end in disaster. This trust reassures me.

Suddenly a silky voice interrupts my daydreaming. “I’ve found what was missing in this space.” I raise my head surprised. Austin’s already back. But what is he talking about? My boss’s smile is incredible as if he were planning something naughty. Faced with my bewildered look, Austin raises an eyebrow, looking mysterious, and then he turns his back on me.

He takes out a badge that locks the door and elevators. “That’s better.” Austin turns around and plants his eyes in mine. He’s not smiling anymore. I shudder. I can’t hide my confusion facing him. I’ll never get used to it! Without taking his eyes off me, Austin undoes a shirt button. Then another. And yet another.

What’s gotten into him? The desire I feel for him instantly ignites my senses. I forget all my anxieties, and I just enjoy what I see.

Austin’s face splits into a mischievous smile. He’s there, in my offices, shirtless… I’m dazzled by so much beauty. The look on his face confers his unique virility. He’s so sensual… Like a cheetah ready to throw himself on his prey, Austin comes to me with a feline gaze, his eyes riveted on mine. he holds out his hands and invites me to join him. I don’t move and watch him languish for a few seconds.

“Come into my arms, I didn’t have enough of you last night.”

“What? But, Mr. William, that’s not very professional.”

He eagerly puts his arms around me. How could I resist him? I breathe his musky perfume. A fragrance that suits him so well that it seems to have been made for his neck. Austin brings his pelvis a little closer to mine until our legs brush against each other. He puts his hands on my shoulders and squeezes against me again.

He gently strokes my shoulder blades, runs his hands down my spine and loses them on my buttocks. I feel his desire grow. At his touch I become hot, panting. Waiting desperately. “You disobeyed me this morning, you left the hotel without my permission, and you know I hate being disobeyed…”

I cast a defiant look at Austin but he continues… “I’m going to have to crack down!... Let’s see, which way would be the most… appropriate?”

“Are you sure that no one can walk in on us?”

“This security badge system is foolproof, don’t worry, and anyway you’re the manager now, you can do what you like in your office.”

“Oh yes? Really? Whatever I like?” I raise an eyebrow.

“As long as it’s with me, yes.”

“So can I give you orders, Mr. William?”

“Well, that’s out of the question!” he tightens his embrace. His movements are more and more intense, proactive. I feel carried away by the whirlwind of my emotions. I’m so good in his strong arms. Nothing can happen to me. Our bodies find each other and undulate in unison. I want to taste him again.

Without a word, I kiss him passionately and draw him a little more against me. I want him to understand that I want him as much as last night, if not more. With his fingertips, he undoes the zip of my top and lets it fall to the round. Our skin against each other, we’re filled with desire, united in the sweetness of the moment.

I nibble at his lips. My left hand discovers his torso and pectorals, my right-hand ventures to his stomach and his muscular abs. When I stroke his navel, I feel him flinch. “I’m sorry, I can feel you breathing hard, maybe you need to take a break…”

“You shouldn’t play this little game.” I feel the warmth of his body. His slender fingers go up along my thigh. I want him to fill me with all his being. His eyes haven’t left me since he closed the door. I feel admired like a precious stone.

I’m boiling with desire, subject to explosion of pleasure. My lips desperately seek his, he takes care to approach and then move away, increasing my desire. “So do you regret having disobeyed me?” Austin looks at me with a mocking air.

“Is that all you have to show me? I thought you were going to punish me!” I’m playing it cool, but I have to admit he’s completely gorgeous. Falsely merciless but totally in control of my desire. His mouth loses itself in my neck, and I feel faint. His tongue and his lips of an indescribable sweetness make me melt at each of their assault as he sucks those sweet spots on my neck.

Austin covers me with kisses, while his hands softly caress my hips. “You smell amazing!” he whispers. Under Austin’s caresses, I close my eyelids and abandon myself completely. “In a luxury hotel, at the office or at home, you are mine Rachel.”

I look into the captivating grey eyes one last time, to be sure I’m not dreaming. Although I pretend otherwise, I have to admit it, yes, I belong to him. He captures my mouth and without leaving me leads me backward and pushes me to the wall.

He goes down to my breasts who were demanding his attention. And I must say he is clearly fulfilling those demands. He bites one of the n*****s and I flinched making a sound. “Eeep!”

“Shhh!” he hushes me as he lifts up my skirt setting it up on my hips. He moves back a little and admires the view as I am breathless and taking the wall as my support.

“Oh Rach.”  He groans as he grabs me snaking an arm around my waist, one and at the nape of my neck, tipping my head back as his lips forcefully found mine. He undoes my hair as they fall over my shoulder to my breasts.

He reaches for me, grasping my leg above my knee and hitching it around his waist, so that I am standing on one leg, leaning into him. I feel him against me, feel him hard and wanting above the apex of my thighs as he runs his lips down my throat. I moan and wrap my arms around his neck.

“I want you…” he breathes and I arc my back in response pressing myself against him eager to create more friction. He groans deep and low in the back of his throat and boosts me higher as he undoes his fly. “Hold tight baby…” He divinely produces a foil packet and rips it open. He steps back a fraction as he slides on the condom.

With his fingers he deftly slides my panties aside and without taking his eyes off me, slowly sinks into me. My body bows and I tilt my head back, closing my eyes, relishing the feel of him inside me. He pulls back and then moves into me again. He does this a couple of times and picks up his usual rhythm. “Oh!” I moan.

“You’re mine… only mine!” he murmurs against my throat. I surrender myself to his relentless rhythm, savoring each push and pull, his ragged breathing, his need for me, reflecting mine. He groans as his teeth graze my jaw and I come around him hard. He stills, clutching me as he follows me moaning my name as he came.

After a few moments he kisses me gently as his breathing eases. He holds me upright against the wall and straightens my skirt. He presses his forehead against mine a satisfied look on his face as my body felt weak but gratifyingly sated after our climax.

“I need you so much.” He kisses my forehead.

“And I you, Austin.”
