Colt guessed that Fiona was trying to avoid him as he watched her walk away, enjoying the sight of her curvy hips swaying with each step she took, he swore he was going to get her.
Waking up that morning to notice her absence was a bruise to his ego. Women don’t usually run out on him after a first sexual exploration, he knew there was something different about her but he couldn’t put his finger on it at that moment, he was tipsy that night , he wouldn't deny that, but definitely not tipsy enough that he couldn't control his sexual urge. He did let it happen because she was fire in his arms and she did evoke a different level of sexual excitement in him that no one else ever did, she was fire in his arms, they were a perfect blend. Waking up without her by his side that morning was really alarming, he was so satiated that he slept way too long than he usually does. He was frustrated that he couldn’t look for her because she left no trace of her presence there before leaving. His early thought was that she was just one of those girls who did one night stands, but the blood was enough confirmation that she was truly different, now adding to her list of attractive traits, she had added one more. This woman in the conference room had been a sexy blend of intelligence, savvy and sass. Just what he loved in his women. With the look in her eyes and her hurried exit, he knew she recognized him from that night. He gave her some time to settle because he knew she would be rattled and they definitely had an unfinished business.
Whistling under his breath he left the conference room, with determination to have a conversation with her even if she tries to act clueless. He paused outside the doorway, took a deep breath to be as calm as he could be , then he rapped at the door frame.
Fiona heart skipped, she knew she was in for trouble.
“ Welcome sir”, she said
He smiled “ you don’t have to be formal with me, my dad told me how close you both are and since we would be working together, i would suggest you don’t act too formal toward me “.
Fiona sank back to her sit, unsure of what to say next, she knew she should have made a quick escape when she first had a glimpse of Colt Harper. But she couldn't because her job was far more important than her emotions. Being formal with him was the only defense mechanism she could come up with, but Colt obviously noticed that and was determined to make her plans futile.
He tucked his hands into his pockets and canted his hips to one side. Her breath caught in her throat, this man had a strong effect on her. His pose was blatantly masculine and unexpected at that time, it had an unexpected aura of sexuality and macho self - confidence.
“ women are so many things around me, but they are never afraid of me, and your quick escape from that night and also from the conference room shows my power in women is getting deteriorated “ he teased.
“ that’s not it “ she said rather hastily.
He raised one eyebrow at her in question and cocked his head at her “ so why did you leave “ he asked.
“ you are an attractive young man, you are hot, masculine and sexy, so your physique wasn't the problem “ she said.
“ you think i am sexy Fiona Garbera? “ he teased.
She blushed as she realized what she had just said, her mouth was definitely going to put her in trouble one day, “ what i meant to say is that i don’t do one night stands, and that was exactly why i had to leave in a hurry that morning “, she said.
Taking his hands from his pockets, he ran his finger down the side of her face. “ how about now?” he asked.
“ i find you attractive but i don’t mix business with pleasure and i can’t have nothing to do with my boss either, its not going to be professional pf me “ she said, trying to make him see reasons with her.
He smirked and leaned closer to her, his breath brushing her face with each word he spoke, “ well, i think there have to be an exemption to that rigid rules of yours this time because we have already done more than mixing business with pleasure Fiona Garbera “. He said.
Pivoting on his heel, he walked out of the door. Fiona put her hand over her racing heart, she knew she had met more than her match. She should plot a scheme on how to avoid spending time with him alone, but she knew that was impossible because she would be sharing an office with him, she groaned in frustration.
Just then, Billy walked in, he stared at her in amusement, he had never seen Fiona so unsettled on anything and this morning episode was hilarious.
“ my boss “, she hailed jokingly, Fiona and Billy’s relationship was more like a father and daughter relationship than it was as a boss and employer relationship, Billy had automatically stepped in as a father figure when Fiona had lost her dad.
“ one would have thought you were running from a ghost with your hasty exit after your presentation at the conference room “ he teased.
Fiona tried to respond in feigned amusement “ unless you are the ghost of which we know you aren’t, i didn’t see any ghost at the conference room, i just had a bad headache “ she lied.
Knowing that her boss could read her like the back of his palm, she needed to upgrade her pretense skill.
Billy smiled in amusement, Fiona was acting all strange today and the hilarious thing about it was that she was obviously trying to hide it from him, well he would have to accept that it was the headache for the main time, he smiled.
“ I see you both are having fun time, can i join the party? “ Colt jokingly asked as he walked into the office.
“ well, Fiona would have to decide “, Billy responded in amusement, there was definitely something up with this two but he could tell Fiona was trying so hard to keep it hidden, he was enjoying the show more than he should, he thought in amusement.
Fiona was caught in the web, she knew her pretense mechanism wasn’t working as well as she would have wanted it to, and it was obvious that Billy had a hint that something was up, she just had to keep up with the pretense and make sure Billy never finds out what was up. There was no way in this world he would know that she lost her virginity to his son who just returned to Portsmouth a week ago. Sexual images flashed through her mind and she was red with embarrassment, she had to get hold of herself else she would sell herself off, Billy should never find out about that night.
“ well, Fiona should Colt join us in our little fun party or he shouldn't? “, Billy asked in amusement.
“ of course he can, its no big deal “ she smiles nervously.
Billy laughed, seeing Fiona nervous was one fun part of her that he had never witnessed before now, it was really amusing.
“ alright, i will leave you both to party then “, Billy said amusingly and stood up to leave.
“ don't go “, Fiona said instinctively.
“ are you being clingy already? “, Billy ssked jokingly. “ get used to Colt already will you?, i won’t be here after this week and you would be working with him” he laughed.
“ you both should get used to working together, i have to go and address other staffs “, he winked at her and left the office.
“ where you afraid of being alone with me?, Colt asked Fiona amused at her unsettledness.
“ of course not “, she replied nervously. “ i didn’t want him to leave because i am beginning to miss him already, we had worked together for 6 years now and well your dad is just like family now even if he is my boss “ she responded, this was partially true though but that wasn’t her reason of suggesting he doesn't leave, she was afraid to be alone with Colt.
Colt laughed, a deep masculine rumbles that Fiona thought sounded sexy, what exactly was wrong with her today?, why would everything about this man be screaming sex, she needed to get her head back on track, she couldn’t afford any distraction at this moment, it was obvious Colt was enjoying the fact that she was uncomfortable around him.
“ you have to get used to me Fiona, and stop being on edge, if not everyone would notice, we would be working together now, so the earlier you get used to me, the better for us “ he laughed.
Fiona blushed, well she guess sex with Colt had brought up her hormones, she was sure Bella would be proud with herself.
“ now you are acting like an over grown baby “, Colt threw at her jokingly, “ i would enjoy working with you Fiona “, he said in amusement.
“ i won’t say same “, she grumbled.
“ you are so cute “, Colt said.
“ i am your worker and i shouldn’t be cute to you”, she feigned a seriousness that she was far from feeling.
Colt laughed “ just be comfortable with me, its not much of a big deal, i don’t bite ” he teased and gave her one of his charming smiles.
What he didn’t understand was why he was trying so had to impress Fiona, women always threw themselves at him, they were always trying to catch his attention not the other way round, Fiona was a different woman, quiet hard to impress with what he had noticed too, he was going to get her no matter how much she tries to avoid him. There was obviously a strong chemistry between them and one he wants to explore, she was trying so much to hide it but he could see the flicker of awareness in her eyes whenever she looks at him, her body language betrayed her too, it was really going to fun working with Fiona and he was going to have her to himself, he wasn’t one to give up easily.
“ i wonder what exactly you are thinking about that you look so goofy with that gleam in your eyes, but i am sure i wouldn’t want to know either”, Fiona said.
Colt laughed “ you are fun Fiona, no wonder you are my dad’s favorite” he said in amusement.
“ i know trouble when i see it, and you are a big trouble Colt “ she said.
Colt laughed, he had laughed more than he had in his lifetime in just few hours, Fiona was one challenging woman and he loved challenges, if she thought he was going to give up if she keeps up the attitude, them she obviously didn’t know who she was up to yet, he was never one to give up and he won’t start now.
Fiona had had enough interaction for the day. She was super excited it was Friday. All she wanted to do was to go home, climb into bed, have a good nap and wake realizing today was all a dream, but she knew it wasn’t. Meeting Colt today after that night was one thing she never imagine that would happen today, and well, not only had she met the man who took her virginity that drunk night, he also happened to be her new boss, how worse could life get?, Fiona couldn’t tell if this was fate way of punishing her for her reckless act that night or it was just another game fate was playing with her. Lost in thoughts, she didn’t know when she got to her destination, the cab man stopped but she was still seated in the cab, unaware she was home. “ here we are miss “, he said when he noticed she was lost in thought. “ jeez, thanks “, she said and reluctantly dragged herself out of the cab.“ happy weekend sis, its my favorite time of the week because i get to spend quality time with my sister
Colt threw his head back and laughed. Watching Fiona’s quick escape from the office on Friday was a comic relief, a part of him wondered if she was going to be worth the battle. He had never lost to a woman before. Well, it was a new week and he couldn’t wait to see what show she was going to put up today, to be honest, he was enjoying this more than he should. Fiona took a deep breath to be as calm as she could be, then she rapped at the door before going in. She knew she was in trouble working with Colt, she had tried to delay there personal meeting by spending more time with her colleagues, but everyone had work to do and of course, she couldn’t hide forever. Colt leaned on her desk as she hurriedly made her way inside, he knew it was quiet uncomfortable for her, but he was enjoying the show way too much, he straightened up to leave her seat and she took two steps backward.“Did i develop a communicable disease or i suddenly developed a bad smell that you can’t tolerate?”, he as
Losing had never been a case for Colt, and no woman had ever turned him down. The hilarious fact about this situation was that he always had women throwing themselves at him but he wasn’t always interested. And now, the woman he wants was doing everything possible to keep him at arm length. What a twist of fate. Colt had watched her all week, trying so hard to avoid being in the same space with him alone and completely avoiding any confrontation from him. It was really frustrating but he didn’t want to force things, but one thing he was determined about was the fact that he wasn’t going to give up on the first woman he was overly interested in, he hasn’t had this much interest in a woman in his life. It was obvious that his father was fond of Fiona, the praises he had gushed about her was quiet an evidence even before his return to Portsmouth. Colt had heard a lot about her before his arrival, little did he know that he would have a personal encounter with her before a formal introdu
Fiona dragged her tired self into room 26. That was her apartment with her sister. Exhausted from a hectic day at work and more exhausted at her stubborn boss persistent on having a relationship with her. She didn’t seem to understand him, every other man would jump at the offer she was making to him, but it was obvious Colt wasn’t just any man. If she was sure of one thing about Colt, it was the fact that he was a man who knew exactly what he do want and go for it, Colt wasn’t one to give up until he got what he wanted , that was a good trait for a business person, but the problem right now, is the fact that this wasn’t business. What he wants this time happened to be a full grown woman who had sworn never to give love a chance at a young age due to her parents failed marriage, and unfortunately, that woman happened to be her. The one woman who was out of reach, the one woman who would never be interested. She was frustrated at his persistency. Why wouldn’t he just accept the sex s
Colt Harper drove towards his father's apartment. Despite his reluctance to admit it, he had missed his father over the week. He had always been a daddy’s boy and that has obviously not changed over the years. The father-son relationship between his father and himself was one strong bond that could never be broken. The two handsome men naturally had a soft spot for each other that even distance over the years couldn’t erase. Being the only child, he was expected to experience a lonely childhood, especially after he lost his mother to the cold hands of death after she was diagnosed of cancer. Colt was just eight years old when this sad experience happened, but he could remember it like it was just yesterday, the memories was stuck forever and years couldn’t erase it. The Harper men had always had a strong bond, but the loss of a mother and a wife had made them inseparable. Colt couldn’t do without his father and neither could Billy do without his son. Colt had felt the absence of his
Fiona had awakened that morning, feverish with arousal from the wild dream of her intense sexual exploration with Colt. Trying not to think about her dreams, she shut her eyes close, trying to shut him out of her mind while trying to fill her head with thoughts of the project she brought back home for the weekend. Her body was filled with intense longing and urgency for a climax. She was plagued by feverish dreams of Colt and her making love at the office with files scattered all around.Drowsy as a result of a sleepless night, she fiddled with her drawer and reached out for the office files. An early start on a Saturday morning was all she needed to cool off this burning desire for a release. Her body was betraying her lately. It was ironic that she had only had sex once. It was a good thing she was awake now, papers always had that effect on her. She stretched across to the top of her drawer and took her laptop. She needed to check out something at the office portal. Colt was suppo
Fiona walked into the office, frustrated at herself and her hormones for her sleepless nights all weekend.“ Good morning Fiona”. Colt greeted.“ It hasn’t been good yet “, she said. Seeing him this Monday morning seemed like a continued torture from her dreams. The arousing smell of his perfume surrounded her drudgingly. He wore an expensive body fitting suit that brought out his muscles and made him look like a sex god. As she wanted nothing more than to move closer to him, and to have a drugging taste of his lips to confirm if he tasted as good as he did in her dreams. But she couldn’t because Colt wanted more than she was willing to give.“ I could help change that “, he said. Bolting the door and tugging her into his arms, in a swift instance, he tilted her head backward, teasing her with his morning arousing scents. His warm breath brushed against her cheek, slowly, he lowered his head, taking her lips with his in a drugging kiss that swept her off her feet, just the way she wa
Fiona hurried towards the elevator, she couldn’t wait to leave her work place which felt like a sexual incantation to her lately. Colt screamed sex and she was loosing her cool. It was a good thing that it was past work time, she couldn’t wait to get home, have a cold bath and indulge in chocolates, reading a romance novel written by Bella that she didn’t even believe in the contents but had to do it anyways because to her, true love only exist in books and of course waiting for another day in sexual torture for a whole week until it was weekend when she could finally make her escape for a weekend without sexual tensions, which was becoming occasionally lately. She couldn’t remember the last time she had a good night without the sexual images of Colt flooding her dream world.All she had to do was to call an uber and go to the only place she could be far away from Colt. Her home. Lost in thoughts, with her full attention on her phone trying to call the ride, she didn’t know when Colt
