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
POV Drake. Three years earlier. Everyone is here, I'm so happy, I've been waiting for this day since the moment I met Sierra after school. Sierra looks simply stunning in her dress, I still can't believe that this woman by my side could agree to spend the rest of her days by my side. It's completely crazy! I never thought she would agree so easily to marry me. I have come to want to share everything with her. Even in my most unspeakable desires, I want to tell her about my sexuality. Mason always encouraged me to do this, but I never could. Because I was always afraid she would leave me. She's so fragile, she's so... I don't know, I'm at a loss for words, all I can say is that Sierra is Sierra and I'm in love with her. Since I met Sierra, I manage to control this permanent desire of control that I have, I manage to be satisfied with vanilla sex. Frank, the one who introduced Eric and I to this lifestyle, our mentor, kept telling me that I was living a life that was not my own. My
POV Lisa.I put my bag on the desk red with anger. No but how dare he ? How dare he ask me to make him a coffee when he brings a woman into his office, a woman who calls him darling! What happened to all those nice words about me being his and belonging to him? So I had to push him away for a week and his desire for me disappeared? Is that it? What a bastard! Men are definitely all the same, all pigs and unscrupulous people. I leave the office and I meet Mason at the door. "Hello Lisa. ""Yeah, hi. " He stops and squints. "Is everything okay? " "Yes everything is fine! Why wouldn't it be? Do you want a coffee too? After all, I'm only good at making coffee for everyone! " "Seeing how upset you are I'd rather not ask you to make me a coffee. " "You're doing great. " I walk around him and go into the kitchen to make the lady's coffee. I turn on the coffee pot and stand right next to her. I lean back on the counter and let out a sigh, no but what did I think? That he was really ser
POV Drake. I pull out my phone and dial the secretary's number."Sandy?" "Sir? " "I want you to do some research for me about a Mr. Walters. " "Walters? Can you give me more details?" "He's a real estate owner, he has a building here in Sydney from what I know, I don't know if he has any others but the one I'm sending you a picture of the one I'm interested in. I need information, his phone number and address, his offices if he has any. " "Very well sir. " "Good night Sandy." I hang up and put my phone in my pocket, I continue down the stairs without saying anything. Then I get to the front of the car and get in, I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but there's no way she's going to be out on the street. Especially not when I have the means to prevent it. I start the car and head for home. I park my car in the parking lot and go up to my apartment. I take off my jacket and go to the bedroom. I think about her reaction earlier when I asked her to kiss me, she did, she didn't hes
POV Lisa.What the hell was I thinking accepting that dinner invitation? I should have calmly stayed home and simply declined his invitation. And I should have run away when he told me that we won't be eating at a restaurant anymore, but at his parents' house. I'm clearly not ready to meet his parents, but here we are just friends, so I don't really see what the problem is. I just hope it won't create more confusion in Ryan's already confused mind. I put on a red dress and black pumps, tie my hair in a sophisticated bun, a little lipstick, some perfume, a clutch and I'm ready. I open my bedroom door and close it behind me. Madison whistles behind me. "You're going to eat with that Drake guy right? " I roll my eyes and walk towards the door. "Because as far as you're concerned I can only go out with Drake in this outfit? " "Lisa you look amazing and yes I can see you on his arm in that beautiful dress and then if you don't want him you can always give him to me. " I squint my eye
POV Drake. Again and again the same bullshit! No, except this time he goes so far as to check my bank account. How could he do that? And once again my mother refuses to open her eyes, she remains convinced that if her husband wants the good of the company and that I am too young to run it. In the five years that I have been in charge of this company, I have done much more than my grandfather did when he started it. I have made Lewiston more than a store, I have made us a name in cosmetics and fashion. Today, just by saying the name of the company, all the doors we want are open to us. But even that, my father isn't bothered to notice and congratulate me for the work I've done all by myself, without the help of his good-for-nothing son, who's just sitting there strutting around driving sports cars he buys with money he embezzles from my companies like I didn't know. What a jerk! I miss a turn and almost hit a wall, I slow down suddenly and my breathing quickens. This is what happens
