POV Lisa.
I'm awake at the first light of dawn, my body is totally ankylosed, but it's a pretty nice pain, one I've never felt except maybe when Brian took the virginity in the backseat of his Lamborghini. I stretch and watch him sleep, he's so handsome I can't believe he was interested in me for a moment.
And that's what it was all about, a pause, a moment of distraction that I must now forget. I slowly get out of bed and pick up my things. I know this kind of men, it is the style of men who sleep with women and throw them away the next day, I refuse to be a number more his list of conquests. I put on my clothes and grab my purse and shoes as I go. I tiptoe out and close the door behind me. I head for the elevator and lean against the wall. I burst out laughing, taking my head in my hands, I can't believe it's me who did such a crazy thing, but what the hell was I thinking?
But I wouldn't change a thing, I loved what happened, no I loved it, but I'm realistic enough to know that it will never happen again. The doors of the elevator open in the hall, fortunately for me, it's not the same old receptionist who is still there, it's another one, at least she doesn't give me a look full of disgust, in fact, she doesn't give a damn about me, she probably saw others. The huge doors of the hotel open, I stop a cab and I rush inside. I give him Amélie's address and he starts, the sun rises on the horizon, I have the chance to attend a magnificent sunrise in Paris, I will miss this interlude. I arrive at the house and one of the maids opens the door for me.
I smile to her and I go to the kitchen where I pour myself a coffee.
Nadine the cook offers me a piece of cake which I take with pleasure.
Thank you, it's delicious," I tell her in French. Amélie is already awake? "
"No, she is not back yet. "
We hear the living room door open and Amélie's cheerful voice shouting.
"Good morning, everyone. " She says in a singing voice.
"You seem to be very happy, tell me. "
"You," she said, pointing at me, "I want you to tell me absolutely everything. "
"I have nothing to tell you, you weasel. "
"Of course you do, you went home with the super charming hunk and on top of that you spent the whole night with him. " Says she by making big gestures.
She goes to the coffee pot and pours herself a cup of coffee, then she takes a piece of cake and comes to join me on the big table. Amélie is an only child, I can't even imagine how hard it is for her to live alone in this huge house. I have a little sister with whom I live, my mother went back to live with hers in their cottage and my father... My father, well! He died, he committed suicide. Amélie is a child psychologist, she has always loved children and I know she is dying to have her own. But with the companion she has chosen, I wonder how she will manage.
"So are you swinging or do you want me to pull the worms out of your nose? "
"He took me back to his hotel room. Oh my God Amelie it was so intense. "
"I see that yes, you look radiant. So you took his number? "
"I don't even know her name figure you, so her number even less. "
"But why?
"I'm sure that for him it was only about sex. And I don't want to get into a relationship right now either. "
"What's with the necklace? It's new."
I put my hand on my chest and touch the gold locket with my fingertips. It's the necklace he put around my neck while we were having sex. I smile and let Amelie know.
"He gave you his locket?"
"Yes, he put it around my neck. "
"If all he wanted was sex, he wouldn't have done it. "
"It's just an Amelie necklace and with all the money he has, I'm sure he can afford more. "
"Sweetheart believe me, in the BDSM world, a dominant never offers something like this for nothing. It usually means he owns you. "
"Cut the crap Amelie, I don't belong to anyone, anyway, we won't see each other again, I'm going home tomorrow. I have responsibilities. "
"It's been three years that you've been depriving yourself of everything. And you keep running away. "
"I'm not running away, I have responsibilities, a family to take care of. "
"I know very well that no matter what I say, you won't listen to me. So we'll do something else. "
"What then?"
"You're going back to Sydney tomorrow and you're going to work for a multinational company, so you need a wardrobe to go with it, so all day we'll go shopping! "
"Amélie, I'm not sure..."
"And who's asking your opinion? For once I can blow my credit card and for a good cause too! "
I know very well that it is useless to discuss with Amélie, she is the most stubborn girl I know, so I content myself with going to take a shower, then I put on shorts and a tank top with sandals. Amélie drags me to the biggest luxury stores in Paris. From Dior to Louis Vuitton to Sephora, she doesn't let anything go by and even redoes my lingerie.
We finish the evening in front of the fireplace, a blanket each on our thighs and glasses filled with wine in our hands, we talk, we recall our childhood memories. And we fall asleep there.
We are awakened in the morning by the sound of the coffee machine whistling in the kitchen.
"Oh fuck Lisa, hurry up you need to go get ready. "
"Shit! "
We both run upstairs to the bedroom to get my things in order.
"There's no way you're going back with this junk, you're going to leave it all here. And leave with the clothes we bought yesterday. "
I shake my head and let her put the clothes in the suitcases, if with all this I don't pay extra for luggage, I should say thank God. I run to the shower to take a bath and then I find Amélie who has finished putting my things away.
"I already put your plane ticket inside your purse. "
"Thank you," I said with a smile. What is certain is that I will miss your way of pampering me a lot. "
"Only my way of pampering you? "
I'm going to miss you too," I said, throwing my towel at her head. "
She catches it while bursting into laughter, then she goes out and lets me get dressed, I put on a pair of pants and a T-shirt, I tie my hair in a ponytail and I moisturize my lips with lip gloss. I'm ready! I go down to the kitchen to meet everyone for a last breakfast. I'm going to miss them all, these people are more than servants, they are an integral part of Amélie's life and mine as well. Amanda, the cook outdid herself today, much like the first time I arrived.
"You shouldn't have bothered with me. "
"But of course I did miss, it's been so long since anyone has eaten my food with as much appetite as you have during this past week. "
"And I must have gained at least ten pounds. Maddie is going to put me on a diet. "
"And she'll be absolutely right," said Amelie. Let's finish this breakfast quickly so I can drive you to the airport. "
We all sit down at the table and start eating, I'm going to miss these moments of laughter, these people I've made new connections with, these moments we've all shared together so much. The goodbyes are heartbreaking, we all part with our eyes filled with tears. Amélie drives me to the airport and we wait for the plane together. She sits next to me and hugs me.
"I will miss you so much. "
"I don't know how to thank you and your family for everything you have done for us. "
Because again, it was Amelie and her family who helped me find this new job, she ran into me one day while I was mopping the floor at a fancy store. She paid for my plane ticket and found me a job. I owe them absolutely everything.
When it was finally time to board the plane, I hugged my best friend one last time and walked to the gate, presented my ticket and passport.
"Sorry ma'am but you can't board here. "
"What? But how is that possible? Is this the flight to Sydney?
"No, what I mean is that you travel first class, you have to show up there," she says, pointing to a door.
I look at the ticket that Amélie put in my bag, it is indeed a first class ticket. I turn towards my friend who winks at me. I smile at her, a hand on my heart, she has decided to empty my stock of tears today. As I board the plane back home, I feel like a new life is opening up for me.
POV Lisa.Three years earlier... I come home and overhear my parents' conversation. "What's this about Frank?" My mother asks. "I lost everything, Anna. " "But how can that be? Everything was fine yesterday. " "I was tricked, cheated, like a common rookie. I placed all the shares and lost them. " "That's not a big deal, honey, we still have our personal property and my share of the inheritance. There's also the house. " My father was silent for a moment. Then I heard the muffled sound of my mother. "No, Frank, you didn't! " my mother shouted."I thought I was going to get the double. " "Then you placed all of our belongings and even our daughters' belongings. How could you do such a stupid thing. " "I..." "What will become of us? " I opened the door to my parents' office and saw my mother collapsed on the floor. "Mom?" "Oh honey, you should be in college by now. " "I forgot one of my books so I came to get it. What's going on? " "Nothing let's see what would you like
POV Drake. Name : Lisa SimonAge : Twenty-six years old Height : One meter seventyFavorite color : RedBlood type: O positiveWeight: Fifty kilos. There's even her waist and the size of her measurements. I know absolutely everything about her. I wrinkle my nose, she is way too skinny. I close the file in front of me with a sadistic smile. She may not know it yet, but she belongs to me. Eric looks at me with a strange expression."You seem satisfied. " "I am. " "I don't understand, usually you prefer blondes or redheads, but not brunettes. What changed this time? " I stand in front of the window and watch the cars go by in front of me. What has changed this time? I have no idea. All I can say is that I wanted it the first time I saw it. When I received her recommendation from Evelyne in my office for the executive assistant position, I was drawn to her gaze. Her eyes were empty of any emotion, as if she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. At the same time,
POV Lisa.I close my book and lie on my back to look at the ceiling. Since my little expedition to this BDSM club in France, I have been asking myself a lot of questions. I even started to research it. It's quite an intriguing world, I must admit that I don't know what to think about it. Especially when I see how these poor girls are treated, all these public humiliations, it's much too horrible.But when I close my eyes and see this man's hands on me again, I feel anything but horror. My hand slides down my body on its own and caresses my chest. I grasp one of my breasts between my fingers and tease the nipple until it is gorged with desire. I see him on top of me again with his huge contraption and his hand lowered on my butt to slap me. My other hand slips into my shorts and slides into my wet slit, I place a finger on my clit and make little circles on it. I impose to my two hands the same rhythm. While the one knits my breasts, the other is active in my slit. I see myself ag
POV Drake.It shouldn't have happened like this! No, it wasn't supposed to. I was supposed to see her again at the office or wherever, somewhere we could have been alone, but definitely not here. Not like this. For a moment I really thought she was going to pass out, she froze for a long time and even stopped breathing. "You're right on time! " Said Scarlett. "I know someone who loves it. " She says, rolling her eyes at me exaggeratedly. I roll my eyes, yes I'm a maniac about time, but that's because I hate people who show up late, you'd have to be able to keep a word. I put the cake on the table and watch Scarlett take it into the kitchen. She walks with a hesitant step, a sign that she is sorely lacking in confidence. Why did she have to come here? And now on top of that? She's kept herself to herself for so many years that she must feel like a kid on the very first day of school facing kids he doesn't know. I can feel her distress, she is uncomfortable and even more so because I
POV Lisa. I close the door of my room and throw myself on my bed! Why is this happening to me now? Why does this have to happen to me now? When I finally start to find some stability in my life, of course this story has to happen to me. I really didn't need it. How is it that the man I slept with is my boss? No but seriously, how likely was that to happen? I clearly feel like the necklace around my neck is burning me, I yank it off and throw it on the floor. If this guy thinks that I am his thing, just because of this fucking necklace, he is wrong, I am not his! When I think about it, why did I go to that club with Amélie? If I had stayed in the warmth of my book, none of this would have happened, I would never have met this man. It's all Amélie's fault, she's the one who brought me to this club. Damn it! Of course Amélie, if there is someone who can explain to me what is going on, it is her. I rummage in my bag and I take out my phone, this call is going to cost me an arm! Besides,
POV Drake.I stare at the closed door of my office not knowing how to react. Her reaction caught me off guard, I certainly didn't expect her to come in here and carry herself like this. I'm surprised and proud of her at the same time, because she's asserted herself, I find myself smiling like an idiot! I found the solution so that finally my little submissive can gain confidence in herself. Anger is the only engine that allows her to rebel. I am happy to see that there is still something which can make her leave this lethargy in which she is locked up to flee the cruelties of the real world. My eyes rest on the medallion on the table, my grandfather's. I take it and turn it around. I pick it up and twirl it between my fingers. It was his lucky charm, according to him, this medallion brought him luck during the war and allowed him to return to grandmother safe and sound. He was very fond of it and never left it, so I was surprised that he gave it to me. It was as if he knew he was goin
POV Lisa.I walk to Mason's office with a confident step, these last days, we have a lot of work, apparently, the company would have signed a new contract and that requires a very meticulous organization. A range of natural beauty products in collaboration with a chain of products in Dubai. For me who has trouble with beauty products, especially foundation, I must admit that I like this alternative very much. I enter Mason's office, he looks up and smiles at me as he presents me with a stack of files. "Can you take care of these documents please Lisa?""Sure! "I take the documents Mason gives me and then walk out of his office, closing the door behind me. I walk over to the copy machine to make copies. I turn on the machine in front of me and start working on it. I let out a sigh, I had to resign myself to not quitting anymore. Simply because I don't have the money to pay the fucking damages. And to tell you the truth, I don't really want to leave this job, I like it, I feel like I
POV Ryan. I watch Lisa leave in a languid walk, damn she is so beautiful. So elegant, so real, so far away from all these artifices around us. I knew it from the day I laid eyes on her, her hesitant but determined look, she looked like a little lamb that throws itself into the mouth of the big bad wolf but despite its fear decides to enter anyway. As soon as I saw her walk through the doors of the company, I felt like an electric current going through my body and I knew at that very moment that I wanted her for myself, but unfortunately, she is Mason's secretary. I smile, I will do whatever it takes to get her. I turn toward the coffee machine and meet Drake's gaze upon me. It's hard, filled with anger and frustration. Don't fucking tell me that? I've only been away for two weeks and when I come back, he's already laid eyes on her. I understand better why on the day Lisa was supposed to arrive, she was ordered to be treated very well, they never did that for any other employee, so i
