Chapter 21- No Business With Pleasure

" Sir this is your schedule and everything you'll be doing in Switzerland, the first night is an introduction dinner and there will be a tour for as many people that would want to see around Switzerland, also you'll be meeting with Miss Kendrick to discuss…"

" Gosh can you stop already," Cole said and I brought my eyes to look at him confused. We were currently on the plane on the way to Switzerland.

" Uhm, sorry Sir, did I do something wrong?" I asked.

" Yes, first you're calling me Sir, and secondly can you just sit and relax, you can tell me all that when we get to Switzerland," He said.

" But Sir, I'm just doing my job, I'm not going to Switzerland as your girlfriend but as your secretary and I don't want to mix pleasure with work," He quickly turned to look at me, his eyes scanning through mine.

" What is that supposed to mean?" He asked.

" It means you're my boss till we return to Texas," I said and for a minute his mouth was open, unable to speak.

" Miss Fredrick, let me say I get you which I don't, are you trying to tell me you're not going to let me kiss you or touch you?" He asked, watching my face for my reaction.

" That is what I…" I didn't finish what I wanted to say, he dragged me from my chair removed the seat belt, and placed me on his lap.

" What are you doing Sir?! Someone might see us," I said as I looked around for any of the flight attendants.

" Call me sir one more time and I'll give you a good reason to call me Sir," He said and I swallowed.

" It's just that I don't want you to be distracted, this meeting is important to the company and I do not want to be the cause of your distraction," I whispered to him as I tried to pull from his lap worried that someone would soon enter and see us in our very not so professional position.

" So you think not letting me touch you wouldn't distract me?" He asked and I nodded.

" How do you think I'll feel if I have you at arm's length and yet I can't kiss this lips or touch your hands or have you begging beneath me, do you think I'll be able to function?"

" I…"

" Sssshhhhh, don't ever say that, I'm going to be focused on the meeting, I'm going there for work but that doesn't mean I can't touch you, you're mine remember," He said as he kissed my neck before releasing me and I went back to my sit putting my seat belt back on.

I told him all that needed to be done although he warned me not to, I couldn't help but chuckle because of how he was pouting like a child. It was good for him to be prepared for everything, if I had a choice I wouldn't have come on this trip so he could focus fully on this business trip and not on looking for every opportunity he gets to steal kisses.

We got to Switzerland and a car was already waiting for us. We got into the car and the driver drove us to Cole's house here in Switzerland. I didn't want to think about how many countries he had a house in. I was exhausted because I couldn't sleep on our flight here, I find it hard to sleep on air.

I felt myself being carried and I slowly peeled my eyes open to see that I was in someone's arms. When did I even fall asleep?

" Put me down Cole," I whispered.

" Ssshhh, just keep sleeping, you seem very tired," He whispered back.

" What would people say? Put me down right now," He only chuckled as he opened the door and got in.

I didn't have a choice but to wrap my arms around him and I went back to sleep.

When I woke up it was midnight and Cole was seated on his chair working.

" You're awake?" I asked.

" Yeah, my secretary said I must get a hold of everything before tomorrow, I'm trying to be a good boss," He said and I chuckled.

I rose from the bed and walked towards him.

" Well, I know I said you should focus on work but you need to rest, you had a long flight here," I said as my hand went around him in a back hug.

" Can you see that? I thought you said there would be no touching?" He asked with raised brows.

" I know what I said and I'm not going to change that, we came here for…Hey!" I shouted as he dragged me from behind him and placed me on his lap his lips just inches from mine.

" You were saying?" He asked as his eyes darkened looking at me, for a moment I became speechless and just stared into his eyes, he always had that effect on me.

" I was saying we are here for work and not…" This time he shot me with a kiss and as much as I wanted to push off him I found myself kissing him back.

" Yeah so much for being professional," He teased.

" Shut up and kiss me,"

" Yes ma'am," He continued kissing me before he got up from the chair with my legs wrapped around him.

The moment he dropped me on the bed I knew he was going to do everything but nothing professional.

We didn't have any engagement this morning, all we needed to do was rest this morning, settle in, and prepare for the introduction dinner.

" I don't really know what to wear for this dinner, I know there will be a lot of sophisticated and wealthy people and I want to represent the company well," I groaned for the hundred time and Cole just watched me as I looked through the wardrobe several times as he sipped on his coffee not saying a word, he chose this moment to act the boss. I swear I was going to kick him out of my room.

We decided to have separate rooms but I knew it was all for formality because, in the end, I'd end up in his bed or him in my bed.

" Whatever you wear would look good, you're already pretty waking up in the morning, how do you think you'll look all dressed up?" He said and I turned my face away from him trying to hide my blushing face.

" Do you have to go for this dinner? You're too beautiful and everyone is going to be staring at you, I don't know how I can control myself and not shout in any dude's face that comes close to you, because believe me I'd be shouting stay the hell away from my girlfriend!" He was being dramatic.

" That's not the problem right now,"

" Do whatever you want, I'm out of here," He said as he got up and began making his way to the door.

" Hey, you're supposed to be helping me here," I grumbled but his response was to open the door and shut it behind him like he didn't hear me.

" I'll make you pay!"
