dream of me

twisting his body unconsciously to see her, his pupils dilated and he preened unconsciously. the woman was not powerful, neither was she the love of his life. but there was something about her that drew him in. a sense of belonging that promised him assurance. the kind of assurance? he was uncertain. all he knew was that the woman was his compass, his sense of direction.

"..."

Mr Gazheng coughed uneasily. his annoyance returned full force. not only was he rummaging through his possessions, but he also had the audacity to feel awkward about the situation. she looked a bit disappointed at the nasty glare joseph sent his way and he felt ashamed. he never wanted her to be disappointed in him. in fact, he wanted to please her, to make her look at him only with joy.

"I am sure it will be fine. maybe you're just stressed from the competition "he assured Mr Gazheng. he was, after all, his boss and he did not see the need to create enemies in his last days there. yes, he knew Mr Gazheng wanted the job. but he was no saint. melody told joseph he got the position so he only had to lay low until the CEO broke the news to the others. judging from the looks his boss kept sending his way. Joseph had a feeling that was what his boss had discovered. poor Mr OCD.

melody laughed that throaty laughter.

a giggle from her was his undoing. He just wanted to grab unto her and hold her. maybe it was because she was his savior. his emotions toward her were confusing even to him. his thought process made him conscious of how she was staring at him. she was looking at him like he was the target of the prank. Joseph shrugged it off and got back to work. her mischief could wait. his job couldn't. but boy was he wrong...

that night was spectacular. his colleagues invited him to join them for drinks. he was about to say no when meddlesome melody answered for him.

"yes, he would love to come". feeling his stare, she matched his with a more piercings look ,"he needs friends, so he can't wait to be there". her look signalled a warning. he lowered his eyes in a relenting gesture and she grinned victoriously. that did not make the night special though. it was the fact that he had not submitted so easily to his need please her. he felt things were changing in his life.

sitting and laughing heartily with his friends like a manical hyena, a warm body pressed to his side a spoke softly in his ear. a shiver raced through the surface of his skin and he subconsciously leaned into the delectable touch.

she was already sucking a mark on his shoulder blade. her lips looked pouty on him and his very soul approached hers in worship. he never regained his affinity for religious ties as he had been burned before. but at that moment, with the strong pulls from the woman attached to him, he felt her spirit merge with his. her teeth scraped the tender flesh and his blood rose to the occasion. it buzzed and raced and craved. like a thirsty sailor, he watched her lips with greed knowing how intimate a kiss would be, yet wanting just as badly.

he wanted that part of her anatomy on his. very soon he was moaning in his throat. he clasped her head in a claim and directed it to his neck. if he was going to be intimate, he needed a closer proximity. at that very moment, he woke up with the women's face burned into his brain and his heartbeat in sync with the music in the background.....
