CHAPTER 13

"What are you doing? I know you...said we will...be working. So close but, don’t think it's needed right now" I said stuttering, trying to keep little distance between us I placed my hands on his chest to push him but he is as strong as a rock, unmovable.

"Tell me Catherine.." my legs shiver, and the center between my legs ached with need.

I love the way he calls my name, subconsciously I licked my lip as I look at his tempting lips wondering how it will feel on mine. I want him to seal this moment with a passionate kiss because he is driving me crazy.

"When is it needed, when is the right time I can come this close to you?" he asked softly, placing gentle kisses on my neck.

"Tell me Catherine, do you like my lips on you when I kiss you here?" he asked as he continued kissing my neck, moving slowly upward towards my jaw line then back to my neck.

Setting every place he touches with his lips on fire. God I need his hands on me, touching me, claiming me. I need him everywhere. And just like that, his hands were touching me.

"What! How did he read my thoughts?" I wondered

His hands trailed my upper body, stopping on my shoulders then moving back downwards till he got to my hips. All the while, his soft kisses on my neck didn't stop. I pulled my head back in pleasure, giving him more access, letting our short gasps, as his hands touched my breast through my dress. He massage it continuously, squeezing it

"oh.. yes." I moaned. When I thought he would take it to the next level this magical moment ended without warning. His cold words pierced through me.

"You may leave, that will be all.. for now"

I stood there, looking at him unable to move. I felt so ashamed of myself, he will think I am a woman without morals.

"I need to be stronger next time, that's if there will be any" I said to myself disappointedly.

Pulling myself together, I took my leave. Closing the door behind me as I played the scene in my head. I can't believe I was down ready to do the deed right there and then.

What has gotten over me, I am always stronger when it comes to things like this, but whenever Adam calls my name I become weak, unable to say no. What a day, I can't believe how things changed so quickly from boring, crazy to intense.

Done for the day, I sat on my chair waiting for Adam to be done. In the meantime, I looked up some new jewelry collections from my favorite online store.

A shining silver bracelet caught my attention. It's so beautiful, I decided to get it along with a black choker. It will go with the mint green jumpsuit I got last week.

Raising my head I saw Adam standing in front of me, looking at me with an unreadable expression. My cheeks turned red as I remembered our earlier passionate encounter in his office. I don't think I can face him directly again.

Shyly I looked away, focusing my attention back on my phone screen. I don't know why he is just standing there looking at me not saying a word.

Finally he broke the silence

"What are you doing? He asked

Surprised at his question, I looked at him "Why do you care?" I asked "It's nothing work related" I assured him.

Checking the time on my wristwatch I exclaimed "What! Is it past eight already?" I asked unaware who I was asking though

Shaking my head at my silliness, I started putting my things in my bag and arranging my desk. I need to leave quickly before he touches me and I will be unable to say no, then he will turn me down again.

This time, I won't be able to recover from the embarrassment. All the while, Adam just stood there acting strangely.

Finally he said something, which sounded more like a question directed to himself than me

"Why do I care?" His voice filled with sadness.

Looking at him, I raised my eyebrow questioningly. Before I could say something he beat me up to it

"Never mind, forget I said anything" then he left without turning back.

"What is his problem now? One minute he is all touchy, next he is cold, now he is strange. Who can ever understand him?" I wonder

who? No one

Putting that behind me I stood up and took my leave, it was already very late and I needed to pick the jewelry I ordered from the store. Since the direction is the same as my house I didn't pay for delivery. I hope I will get there on time before they close.

Getting on the ground floor, there were only a few people left. Not too surprised though because I closed late today. Greeting the security men I head to my car.

Driving past a bridal store, my mind drifted to Patricia's upcoming wedding. I am yet to decide on the dress to wear to her engagement, for her wedding I know Patty will use only the best. I look forward to it.

I am yet to meet her Michael, our part doesn't seem to cross. The first time he came to the house I was writing my masters final exam. And when I was around he couldn't make it.

From the way Patty describes him, he seems like a nice man. She keeps singing his praises, I think he has completely won her heart. Chuckling, never imagined Patty as the marriage type, probably because she loves herself more than anything.

For the first time I saw a change in her, whenever she talked about Michael her eyes sparkled. Love is the only thing capable of doing this, it changes your whole being and turns you to something different.

No wonder those who fall in love with the wrong person lose themselves and become something terrible. This is so sad, what a terrible waste of time. Thank God I am not in love.

Getting to the store I pulled off the road and parked. Getting off quickly, I walk fast and need to get inside before the store closes.

I am so happy I arrived on time, done with everything I sighed, so relieved. Happy I got into my car and drove off, heading home.
