Save Me From Myself
“Safe jour…ney” Reyona completed as she heard the disconnecting tone of the call.
She placed her phone on the table as she mused on the success of Toria’s interior design company with her partner, Tara.
Tara had started the same company on a small scale before her husband forced her to sell it so she could become a permanent housewife.
Toria had discovered the emotional and physical abuse the woman had been going through. So, instead of buying out the woman’s only means of escape from her marital problems, her sister had helped the woman finally speak up about her situation, reported him to the authorities and finally ensured that he was locked away for a long time after he almost killed Manuel in his intention to shoot Tara.
Then she used the money she had intended to use to purchase the building which Tara’s parents had left for her to enter into a partnership with Tara.
That birthed T and T Interiors, a source of new life for Tara and a chance for Toria to fully utilise her managerial and creative skills.
Toria was also the company’s creative director, besides being a partner. Reyona couldn’t be more proud of Toria’s influence on the once-rundown, barely-getting-by company which Toria had shown her.
Now rebranded in name, renovation and reach, the company got their first international customer through the Aspen deal.
Reyona was surprised when Torid told her they had gotten a referral from their Aspen customer even before they finished their job.
The team was on their way to Cyprus for another mega project that would take several months to complete.
Reyona was so proud of her sister. She knew that once Toria had finally settled down to her choice of profession, she was going to do very well.
She couldn’t be more glad that she had been right too.
As she found herself whiling away the morning with one thought after the other, Reyona firmly turned her chair around and moved closer to her desk to do what was required.
“Your aunt is on her way to making money, baby. So let’s do the same” she said with a smile as she opened the file that Nicole had already arranged for her to sign and work on.
Soon enough, her pen was suspended over the files while she stared ahead, lost in thought again.
Toria was right when she said she might ask for some distance from Maxwell.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
That was the main reason why she had come to the company so early.
The idea of shutting herself in her home office while he went to his place to work was not working for them at all.
In the past week, she had gotten more naked in her home office than get any work done.
Just as she had also jumped him many times in his home office, she had lost count.
After the morning exercise that had ended in them having another sort of exercise on the yoga mat, Reyona suggested that they needed much more distance between them if any of them were going to function normally at all.
“You want me to go back?” He asked with apprehension in his tone as he held her while their breathing both calmed.
“Back?” She asked as she lifted her head and looked at him because of his tone. That was when she realised what he meant. “You mean back to Kayooma? No, no, I don’t want you to go back.” Then she quickly added “Unless that is what you want, of course. I mean… I have no issues with it if that is what you want.”
His arms tightened around her as he kissed her forehead and said “Of course, I don’t want to go back. I want to stay right here with you.”
“Oh, okay,” Reyona said as she lay her head back on his chest she wondered why she had felt a slight panic when she had thought that he was about to tell her that he was going back.
“I mean we need some distance between us during the day. I mean…” she paused as she felt his dick swelling against her. “That… I meant just that. At this rate, the baby would be lucky to meet both of us in one piece by the time she gets here.”
He deliberately wiggled beneath her as he said “What? I have no problem with that at all. I am sure Pat would understand too. She must know that was how she got here in the first place, right?”
“Pat?” Reyona said with a wrinkle on her face.
“Could be Patricia or Patrick as you said. I love Pat. I wished I had met your grandma, you know.”
Tears pooled in Reyona’s eyes, and she could see that he saw it as he leaned forward to place lingering kisses on her eyelids.
Emotions bloomed inside Reyona, and she gave him a loving look as he leaned back and smiled at her.
“What was I saying?” She asked incomprehensibly.
“That we should stay like this forever,” Maxwell said with a grin.
“No,” Reyona said emphatically. “I have to go to the office. That is how we can manage to keep our hands off each other for a while.”
“How come I got no vote on that? I like where my hands are at the moment.” He said as he moved his hands downwards and grabbed her ass.
“Maxwell” Reyona said as she unconsciously rubbed herself against his bulging shaft. “I am serious,” she said breathlessly.
“I am serious too, you know,” he said as he leaned forward to capture her mouth in a kiss. “Let me show you how serious I am.”
Then he proceeded to convince her of just how serious he was.
Reyona had to push his reluctant ass out of the door that morning after he asked for a single kiss that would last him the day and then went on to get more than an innocent kiss.
She was breathing heavily as she leaned against the door as if afraid he would pull it open again, and she would give in to his smoldering gaze and urge-stirring touches.
He had told her he also had meetings to attend that day because he was considering some investments in Sydney.
“Might as well get some of the action, you know. I love what the market is saying, and I think I would have a try” he said that morning.
Reyona jolted as a knock came from the door.
Damn it. Not only had she been engulfed in her thoughts again, but her skin was tingling from a mild arousal that her thoughts had caused.
“Hey Phil,” she said brightly as she saw Phillip Aguillar at the door. “Come in.”
Save me from myself!
