The Tyrant's Wife

308 Wedding preparations (2)

By the time Desmond returned from his meeting, they had finished discussing most details of their plan and Natalie had long left.

He let out a long sigh as soon as he saw her and swept her off her feet.

“Boss, I’m trying to complete an important part of my research here.” She protested. He had caught her off guard while she worked, turning her chair around to face him and pulling her out of it.

He pressed her against his body and took a long inhale of her scent. “I almost couldn’t take it, being so close to you all day but not being able to hold you and touch you.”

The feeling was mutual. He had left the house earlier than usual this morning. She had vaguely heard him mumble a goodbye and kiss her cheek before he crept out of bed, and she had slept in for much longer and come to work after dropping Rosaly off to school.

She had heard him a few times in the day but he was so swamped that she couldn’t go to him either.

“I missed you too.” She kissed his lips.”

“Then take a short break off. I’m sure your boss won’t mind letting his most beautiful employee take a breather.” He slid his hand down to her butt, making her cheeks flush as she tried to remember whether her door was locked.

“My boss can be quite an asshole.” She purred. “He might just use it to try and get into my pants.”

.....

“Is that so?” His voice lowered into a low rumble, as though she had just given him the best idea in the world. He eyed her from head to toe and licked his bottom lip. His gaze sent tingles down her spine.

They lived together and saw each other naked at least once every day but each time this man looked at her, it was as though he fell in love with her body anew. She was throbbing and he hadn’t even laid a finger on her yet.

“Lock the door.” He demanded.

“One second.” She held a finger up and saved her work. She had her computer set to auto-save every single change she made to a document but there was no such thing as too much caution especially when it came to important documents. When she finally locked the door and returned to him, his gaze had darkened.

“You have some nerve making me wait, woman.” He growled.

“What will you do?” She taunted, biting her bottom lip as she gazed up at him. He loosened his tie and she instantly knew exactly what he was going to do. By the time he demanded for her to undress, she was sliding her skirt off.

She placed it neatly on her chair and leaned over the desk like she knew he wanted her to. He came up behind her and spanked her bottom once for making him wait, then slid his finger between her thighs and right into her core.

She couldn’t stop a moan. Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy hormones but she had been constantly horny lately. It was already hard enough to be in the same space with him without wanting to touch him but now, all it took was a single gaze from him and her panties would be melting.

Sure enough, his finger slid inside her with ease. “Always ready for me, my sweet assistant.”

“Blame your cock for feeling so good, boss.” The rest of her words morphed into a moan when he rubbed her clit. He clamped a hand over her mouth to muffle it as he teased her.

“I need you,” she pleaded.

“Me too, baby.” He turned her around and lifted her onto the desk. Her legs parted of their own accord. He went down on his knees instead of what she thought he was going to do, and she completely forgot they were in her office when he swiped his tongue through her wetness.

He took his time savoring her, using his tongue to express how much he had missed her. It wasn’t long before her orgasm tore through her body, and he once again had to muffle her moan. He licked up every drop of her climax, then he got back on his feet.

“Get dressed.” He ordered.

“Excuse me?” She couldn’t believe this turn of events.

“Naughty employees don’t get rewarded, sweetheart.” He smirked. “Besides, we want to get some work done, don’t we? This short break is not nearly enough for me to do any of the things I want to do to you. So get dressed before the whole company knows what I’m doing to my assistant.”

Her cheeks flushed. To be exact, it wouldn’t be news. She had started showing, and she had noticed the looks from employees especially when she wore certain clothes.

They already knew they were engaged, so it wasn’t hard to guess why her belly was curving out. Even so, the last thing she wanted was for everyone to know that they did it in her office. They would never look at her the same way. So, although she wanted to continue what they had started, she picked her clothes up and put them on.

When they finally sat down to have an actual conversation, she raised her concern. As expected, he frowned when she mentioned her suspicion.

“Des, she’s human. She cannot be good all the time. And I wouldn’t blame her if she turned against us after what nearly happened to her parents. I just…”

“You have a good reason to be concerned,” he seconded her, but then he added, “Natalie would die before she does something that would hurt me. I trust her.”

“But…”

“Do you trust me?” He asked before she could complete her statement. She nodded.

“If someone asked me to choose between my life and yours, what do you think I would do?”

“Choose me.” She bit out, the realization hitting her harder than the thought she’d just had. She hadn’t realized how much she trusted him until now. If he trusted Natalie half as much as she trusted him, then he was right. Natalie would never cave to coercion.

“Do you have any more concerns?” He asked, guessing from her expression that she was no longer worried about what Natalie might do.

She shook her head, then nodded. “I’m a bit nervous.” She confessed.

“I know it’s silly. But it’s just…this fake wedding preparation is suddenly all in my face and it feels so real…”

He took her hand and kissed her palm. “Babe, if you still have any doubts about whether or not you want to be my wife, I’m clearing them up tonight.”

She chuckled. She wasn’t in doubt about whether or not he was the right man for her. That had been obvious for as long as she could remember. The only thing that worried her was that marriage might ruin their relationship. But now that she thought about it, it might not be easy, but it was not impossible to make it work. They just needed to make it work and accept whatever challenges were bound to come along.

Even so, she had a feeling she was going to love the coaxing he had in mind.
