Mr. McCourtney's Dark Secret [3]

I held Sophia's naked body so tightly while enjoying her warm breath that was finally brushing my chest in normal phase. Yesterday was my graduation. She gave me a special present, a permission to have intercourse with her. I knew she was still traumatize, and yet she braved her self, for me. I was of course so touched.

I did it with so much gentle, making sure she had a little discomfort as possible. She was so tense at first. But after a while, she became relax and enjoyed it. How her every sigh and moan were like a beautiful song onto my ear. When she finally reached her climax, I was so happy and couldn't hold my self that I released my self with her as well.

"Thank you, Honey," she said then kissed my jaw.

"It's my pleasure, Pumpkin," I whispered back to her before kissing her head.

"I've never thought that it could be that beautiful," she said.

I leveled up my head to hers to meet her eyes and stared at her lovingly. "It will always be beautiful from now on, Pumpkin. I promise you that," I promised her with all my heart.

We then kissed long and deep before tightened our embrace to one another again. That embrace was stayed like that until we fell asleep.

Unfortunately, that lovely night was ruined by a phone call at 3 A.M.

"Yes," I picked up the call after the first ring with sleepy voice.

"Hello, Iggy. How's your vacation ?" Fake friendly voice of my supervisor was heard.

"What do you want ?" I asked in annoyance.

"Nothing. I just want to remind you that your leave will be over in a week," she said then hung up the call.

----------

A week later, I went to the headquarter. I told Sophia that I went to a job interview out of town for couple of days. The truth was, I went back to my old job.

"Come in, Iggy," My supervisor said from inside her office after her P.A told her that I was coming.

I entered the huge and majestic room. This room, like the corridor I just walked through, and maybe like the rest of the property, was styled like a Victorian castle. I heard that this property was given by Lord of Central Kingdom chapter.

"How are you, my favorite man ?" My supervisor welcomed me when she saw me walking toward her. "Wait.. why are you still wearing that black mask ?" she asked again, even before I could answered her first question.

"Zack.. please give him silver mask," My supervisor ordered her P.A. she herself was wearing gold mask, to show the highest rank in the chapter. Only a Lord or Lady of a chapter could wear a gold mask.

"No.. No need," I refused.

"What do you mean you don't need to ? You deserve it. We work hard together for this. And now.. after I finally able to reach it.. do you think I would forget about you ?" She said in such a tone that couldn't be denied.

So I just received the silver mask handed by her P.A then wore it to changed my old black mask.

----------

I began my first mission that same day. I told Sophia that I was accepted and my boss wanted me to jumped right in to his current project, so I might came back home longer than I planned. Sophia didn't mind. She was so happy to know I had my job. She praised me over and over without knowing I was crushing inside because I lied to her.

You must had known already, I was an executor. My job was of course executing mission ordered by the leader and planned by strategist. My supervisor once was my strategist, but since she was the head of our chapter now, I worked with another strategist, working on my supervisor's direct mission.

Most of my missions were eliminating people. There were a lot of people working to support me, but I worked alone as front liner. I was known as a one man show. My methods of killing were vary. I could do long-distance method such as snipping, bombing, poisoning, or accident, as well as body contact method.

I was also known as a cold-blood executor. I could kill a pregnant woman without blinking even though she cried and on bended knees to plead for her lives, or even kids who witnessed my work. Of course, that were rarely happened because I was always careful and meticulous in getting the job done. That was before I met Sophia.

Since I met her, I did my mission with heavy heart. Her sad and lifeless expression kept haunted me. I barely could sleep. I only could sleep when I was in total drunk or in Sophia's arm. That was why I immediately went back to the town where Sophia was still studying right after my every mission. I didn't care how late it was or how bad the weather was, I would still went back to Sophia. My home.

----------

"When are you going to leave for your new project ?" Sophia asked me in whispery voice. Her finger was softly trailing my back.

I distanced my head from her. "Why ? You bore with my presence already ?" I asked back, deliberately pouting in act to tease her.

Sophia giggled then kissed my nose. "When will I ever be bored with you, Darling ?"

"Reaaally ??" I acted to disbelief.

Sophia nodded. "I'm afraid, you are the one who will be bore and forget about me," She said then pouted.

I kissed her pouty lips. "Never," I said short and clear.

"I will never neither," Sophia said her promise as well.

I kissed her lips passionately. Sophia replied me with the same passion. Soon, we were already in the middle of our second session.

"I love you, Sophia.. I love you," I hissed onto her ear while I kept pumping inside her.

"I love you, Tom.. I love you so much," Sophia hissed in between her pant. We were so close to reach our climaxes. I fastened my phase and soon we orgasmed together.

I kissed her hair while trying to steady my breath. "Marry me, please, Sophia.."

I knew it wasn't proper to propose a girl after sex. But it really came from my heart. I had tried to hold it back for so long. There were too many hindrances..

"Yes," she answered me with no hesitation. She kissed me. "Yes, I want to marry you, Tom."

I immediately went back to cloud nine hearing her answer. My job. Who I was. My concerned about would she accepted the real me. They were all vanished from my mind. I didn't care about them anymore. I was going to marry this woman. Whatever it took.

----------

I knocked the French door in front of me in hesitation. Yesterday, my supervisor's P.A told me that she wanted to meet me. I knew what she wanted to talk to me about.

Two weeks ago, I sent her a resignation letter. From what I'd heard, no one had ever resigned from this organization. No one. That was why I was so nervous.

"Come in, please," My supervisor invited me from inside her office. I opened the door and slowly walked toward her that was sitting behind her desk, staring at me deeply.

"What were you thinking sending me this bullshit ?" She asked me straightforwardly. She didn't even tell me to sit.

"I.. I wanted to retire," I said in stammered.

"Why do you want to retire ?"

"I want to marry. I want to have a family.."

"You don't need to retire to have a fam.."

"Not without telling lie my while life to my family!" I cut her words. She bulged her eyes to respond to my misbehave. "Sorry.." I murmured then lowered my head.

She sighed. "Do you think you CAN resign ?" She asked again, rhetorically, emphasizing the word 'can' as if I was the dumbest man on earth.

I could only gulp to answer her question.

She made a little laugh then grabbed a piece of paper from her desk's surface. With her eyes stared sharply to me, her hand started to tear the paper slowly. "The only time you can resign from the organization is when you were dead, Iggy," she said.

I tried hard to hold back my tears. My heart was tore a part along with the torn paper. It was my resignation letter.

"And you know it well, you must stay alive to be able to start a family. Right, Iggy ?" She continued her words after throwing the paper into trash can.

----------

"Why you need to go for so long this time ?" Sophia asked. This time her pout was real and reasonable.

I grabbed her waist and pulled her so she could be in my embrace. "This project is different. It worth millions of dollar. It is the biggest project my company has had. Only outstanding employees are pointed to handle this project. And my boss promised a big bonus for us," I said to her, lying of course.

"I don't need to be rich. I just need you beside me," Sophia said, still pouting.

I kissed her hair. "I know, Pumpkin. But I need the money.."

"For what ?" She asked.

"To buy our dream house," I said calmly.

Sophia widened her eyes and immediately turned her body to face me. "Our dream house ?" She whispered excitedly.

I nodded. "It's beautiful. white fence and big terrace with a vast backyard," I said to her, describing the house.

Sophia's eyes were glimmered. "Where is it ?" she asked.

"It will be a surprise for you," I answered poking her nose. "But I hope you don't mind to live in a new place. I promise you, you will love it. It's a quiet and friendly town."

Sophia shook her head. "I won't mind. As long as I'm with you.. anywhere is perfect."

I kissed her ever so lovingly.

"Wait for me, Sophia Sawyer. When I'm back, I will marry you and we'll live in our dream house, to begin our dream live," I promised her.

She looked at me with adoring eyes. "I will wait for you. No matter how long," She said her promise then we kissed again
