sex-me boss.

a few hours later, Olivia woke up to find Damon looking at her with an almost worried expression on his face. she rolled over in bed and, without wanting to, everything she’d experienced that morning came back to her mind. she clung to him as if it were a bad nightmare, because for her, it was already that, a bad nightmare she’d lived through with her eyes wide open. Damon had heard his mother arrive as he had heard Richard call her those little Russian names that disgusted him so much.

-How do you feel, my angel?

-I don’t know. I don’t even know why I feel so bad. It’s all because I tell myself that these two people are laughing at your mother without any remorse. -Do you realize that, Damon? And this man, how can he look her straight in the eye without any serious remorse?

-you shouldn’t worry about that, olivia. right now, i’m not mad at richard, i’m mad at my mother. she could see that this man is playing her, but i think she’s so afraid of ending her life alone that she’s letting herself be manipulated. i know she suspects something, but she doesn’t want to talk about it. it’s christmas eve, and since we’ve come for christmas, i think we should go celebrate.

She could have refused since she didn’t want to go, but what excuse was she going to give Yolanda for her absence? It was better that she went and Damon was going to be with her if Virginia or even Richard tried anything against her.

James had been trying to lure Maggie into his net for a week and a half already, and he’d finally succeeded. He knew that it wasn’t really the idea of revenge that was driving him, for he now felt the need to feel her close to him, which was why he’d invited her to spend New Year’s Eve with him, something she’d doubted but ended up accepting. he didn’t know much about the country he was in, but that hadn’t stopped him from making an effort for her. he’d decorated his hotel room like that of two lovers on valentine’s day. he didn’t even recognize himself in the romanticism he’d created, but he felt she richly deserved it.

Maggie had just finished work, the others had decided to go out, but as she had nothing at all to do, she had decided to stay and look after the children. it was finally time for her to get ready, she was dreading her evening with James. She didn’t feel ready to give herself to this man, since she hadn’t forgotten his reputation as a badboy, but she didn’t want to turn her evening down to the point where she found herself celebrating Christmas alone. It was the only piece of women’s clothing she had with her, and she hadn’t thought to go shopping since she’d arrived in Africa because she didn’t think a man would ever ask her out. She knew the name of her hotel very well, but she didn’t know how to get there as far as transport was concerned.

As her watch struck seven, James was already ready, dressed in slacks and a white shirt with the last two buttons open, exposing his steely torso. He didn’t want to pick up his night’s campaign himself, so he’d invited a hotel employee to do it.

While she was still thinking, she heard the horn of a car in the courtyard. she assumed it was James and got out, but when she saw the man getting out of the car, she took a few steps back. she was almost alone in the camp, as the others had gone into town to celebrate, and she was afraid of what might happen to her. the car was indeed the one James had rented, but that didn’t reassure her.

-Miss Soyer? Maggie Soyer,” said the driver.

-Yes, that’s me, is there a problem?

-Mr Brock has asked me to take you to his hotel, so please come forward.

she didn’t know if she could trust him, but it was a risk she’d have to take, and besides, even if she disappeared, who was going to mourn her but Olivia? she moved forward, and when he opened the door, she got in, and it wasn’t long before he was on his way. When they arrived at the hotel, she found its decorations even more magnificent. He opened the door for her and she stepped out.

Half an hour in, James thought she was taking too long to arrive. He gave himself another five minutes to wait, and if she didn’t come back, he’d go and get her himself, even if it would spoil his surprise. spinning around in his suite, he heard knocking on the door. his brain reminded him that it had to be her, so he ran into the bathroom to check his hair and everything. He wanted her to find him perfect just this once. regaining his composure even though his heart was beating fast, he went to open the door and before him lay the picture of the most beautiful woman in the world. her red dress was just simple, but she was so beautiful that her beauty embellished the dress too. the curves of her body were just waiting to be discovered by his hands. he devoured her with his eyes without any pain.

She too couldn’t stop staring at his steely torso and was tempted to run her fingers over it, but she was too shy to do so. He was so handsome and she still understood why he was a perfect Don Juan, his beauty was not lost on any woman in the streets and they were right to fall at his feet as she was also about to do unwittingly. a throat-clearance from the other end of the corridor brought them both back to reality and they didn’t realize how long they had been staring at each other.

-Your infernal charm has made me forget good manners, so come on in.

as she stepped through the doorway, she thought she was dreaming. romance combined with eroticism was perfectly in keeping with the theme of this suite’s decor. it was hard to believe it was for Christmas Eve. she wondered if he’d gone to all that effort for her. she wanted to ask him, but held back because she was afraid of the answer, especially if it turned out to be negative.

James had already closed the door, but it was as if he were paralyzed by the beauty before him. he’d never lost his words in front of a woman like that, it was the first time in his life and if he’d been a teenager, he’d have run away. feeling that insistent gaze on her, Maggie turned and James cleared his throat, scratching the back of his neck.

-It’s so sweet to see you so embarrassed, it’s the first time. What’s got you so unsettled?

so she’d noticed. he couldn’t tell her anything about her attitude. if she hadn’t understood that it was all because of her, then it was going to remain a secret until she realized it herself. he went to take her hand and kissed it, which made her shiver. he moved with her and sat her down on a chair around the table he’d prepared for two. he removed her clutch without daring to look her in the eyes. he was afraid of succumbing before time.

-Well, I’m not a perfect cook, but I’ll even try, so I hope your criticisms won’t be too harsh.

she felt tears welling up in her eyes. she wasn’t a madeleine, but who wouldn’t be touched to know that a man who never cooked had done it for her? she bit her lip to avoid telling him what she was thinking. he was staring at her as if he wanted to pierce her soul, which disturbed her even more. he began to crack down, and she couldn’t stop following his every move.

-Go ahead and eat, you devil.

-bon… bon appetite.

it wasn’t this meal James wanted to eat at all, but something else. he wanted to devour the woman in front of him, but he had to be patient. she was too precious to him, he didn’t want to break her. she used her cutlery as if she were afraid, and it was amazing. to see the courageous Maggie soyer feel intimidated, it was the first time.

-it’s not that bad, i hope.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

-As long as it’s not poisonous, I don’t think it’s serious,” she replied, her head bowed.

-You know perfectly well I couldn’t give you poison before I take my revenge,” he said, winking at her.

She knew perfectly well what he was talking about, and even if she didn’t want to confess, she also wanted revenge.
