The CEO’s Substitute Lover

Winter Solstice.

The Group Davi’s Christmas reception was held today, inside Hotel Sophia’s in S City. Guests mingled and had fun amidst the glitz of the hotel’s luxurious auditorium.

The women were dressed to the nines, in a manner that was not overly flamboyant, though most of them had the sole intention of catching the attention of President Tredan Davi, the ever tall, dark, and stern-eyed man at the reception today, if only for a moment.

However, the man disappeared right after he had finished his speech on stage.

Unlike the celebration and partying on the top floor auditorium, a lift that is dimly lit up in warm yellow is slowly descending from the top floor.

Inside the lift, the handsome, sun-kissed man breathes heavily, as Octavia Gills sinks into his arms. She smelled of wine that is lightly scented with cinnamon.

“President Davi, don’t do this.” Octavia tried to push him away with what’s left of her senses. She clutched at his lapels with the intention of pushing him away, but deep inside, she was vaguely expecting something to happen. After all, wasn’t this what she wanted?

Afterall, this was the man whom, for the past twenty years, had been waiting for. The man whose heart she yearns for.

“Don’t go??.” The man pulled her drunkenly around the waist and confined her tightly in his arms.

Leaning back into the man’s arms again, Octavia Gills, who has already had a few drinks, was no longer able to refuse and lost almost all sense of reason.

Octavia Gills buried herself in the man’s arms and allowed his large hands to caress her body.

“Ding.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The lift doors opened on the seventh floor and Tredan quickly stepped out of the lift with the girl in his arms as he planted a firm kiss on her neck. The two of them stumbling to the door of the suite at the end of the corridor, which the man open with a swipe of his card.

Entering the room that was unlit and laced with the cold scent that belonged exclusively to this man, her body was pushed and moved forward in the darkness by the man until her knees knocked hard against the knee-high floor-to-ceiling window sill, making Octavia Gills fall on her knees as she hit the window sill.

The man stood behind her, anxiously and roughly tugging at the front of her bodice, while Octavia Gills was forced against the cold floor-to-ceiling window, making her heart beat fast.

The cold, dark hotel suite, was hot as dry wood burning. As a lone man and woman, she knew what was about to happen but could only kneel in a wretched position against the cold floor-to-ceiling windowsill, waiting for that moment to come.

Octavia Gills thought, “This is the most daring moment in my life, I’m afraid.”

“Lilian??.”, the man behind her buried his head at the nape of her neck, his hands had already removed her last line of defense, but when she heard him call out Lilian’s name, Octavia Gills fell into an icy hole, and her dazed mind was instantly clear. This made Octavia Gills fall over the edge making her dazed mind snap to attention.

To add to her sobriety, Octavia Gills looked out at the floor-to-ceiling window in front of her and saw a gorgeously dressed Lilian Drye marching out of the ground floor lobby to escort Tredan’s parents to their car.

“Wait, Tredan??um!” Octavia Gills twisted around in an attempt to stop anything from happening, but it was too late.

—

The cold, dark room, the bright, chillingly large window, the woman was strangely half twisted backwards, the man held her jaw in a frantic, demanding kiss, whimpering brokenly.

Octavia Gills’ mouth and nose were filled with the strong smell of alcohol.

Between grinds, there was a faint knock on the front door and Lilian Drye’s usual gentle, melodious query, “Tredan? Are you there? Are you there Tredan?”

“I’m here??Lilian??I’m here??,” the man responded in a low throaty voice between long kisses.

Octavia Gills closed her eyes as tears spill out of from the corners.

Orgasm all night long.

The next morning, the sky was faintly white as fish belly, a beam of clear light shone into the room through a gap in the curtains, the messy clothes were all over the floor, and particles of dust were floating in this beam of light that is visible to the naked eye.

Octavia Gills woke up with the tip of her nose pressed against the back of the sofa, her mind coming into focus and her heart lifting as she recalled the events of last night.

At the same time, she felt an arm slowly embraced her from behind, causing Octavia Gills’ entire body to tense up violently.

“What? Still not used to it?” Behind her, came the man’s slightly sympathetic, low, and tuneful laugh.

Octavia Gills drew a cold breath, as she was now curled up on the inside of the sofa, her back to the man who was also lying on his side behind her, and enveloping her in his arms, having fallen asleep on the sofa with Tredan last night.

Octavia Gills’ face turned red like a branding iron as she reached out and pressed her hand against the large one in front of her, a gesture that made Tredan become more aggressive.

He then violently pressed his entire body against her smooth behind, hugging her so tightly in his arms that Octavia Gills could clearly feel the change in his body.

Immediately afterwards, Tredan slowly pressed his lips to her earlobe and said in a low and magnetic voice, “You’re finally mine??Lilian.”

Octavia Gills’ body stiffened violently, she didn’t even dare to turn around nor dare to speak in this situation. She just wanted to bury her head deep into the cracks of the sofa.

However, the man behind her was moving his large hands again, moving them down her waist, while sighing under his breath with a low laugh, “So slippery.”

The thought that this was the soft whisper Tredan and Lilian Drye were supposed to be whispering to each other in bed made Octavia Gills’ heart tremble. She suddenly reached out and took Tredan’s large hand that was still persistent, her voice trembling, “Gu… President Davi…”

In the dimly lit early morning room, looking at the warm, soft woman in front of him, Tredan had pressed on with the intention of engaging in a primal morning exercise, but stopped moving violently when the woman spoke.

Octavia Gills seemed to be frozen tin time until, the man behind her slowly moved his shifting body back, and then she heard him sit up.

Octavia Gills was still afraid to turn around.

At that moment, the mobile phone on the floor buzzed again.

Tredan rose just in time to pick up the phone and said in a raspy voice, “Lilian.”

The phone was loud and Lilian Drye’s gentle, decent voice can be clearly heard in the silence of the room.

“Tredan, my uncle wasn’t feeling well last night, so I sent them back early, only to lose you.”

Lilian Drye wasn’t aggressively questioning, and the apparently teasing voice clearly made Octavia Gills feel relieved for Tredan.

“I??.”

“It’s okay, you’re busy. I’ve just returned to China, and I don’t know your friends around you very well, I??am also worried that you’ve had too much to drink and no one is there to take care of you. Now that I’ve found you, I can somehow put my mind at ease.”

“Lilian, thank you.” Tredan’s voice was low and soft.

Octavia Gills slowly looked back and saw that his eyes, which were usually perpetually askance in and around the company, were now filled with tenderness, a tenderness that she had never seen before.

Except, perhaps, twenty years ago.

At that moment, Tredan turned around and met the quiet gaze of Octavia Gills, her eyes lost its tenderness and was moist with a touch of condensation.

Lilian Drye’s slightly playful voice came over the phone again, “If you think it was beneath you as a gentleman to leave me alone in the hotel last night, well??even with a little bit of guilt, why don’t you take me to lunch to make up for it?”

Tredan withdrew his gaze and turned, “Okay, 12 noon, Hotel Sophia??.”

Before the words were out of his mouth, Tredan felt a tap on his shoulder and turned his head to be greeted by a slender white palm that flashed into view.

“Snap!”

The crisp slap on his cheek was heard in the silence of the room, and before Tredan could react, the woman had already rushed out of the room in her haphazard clothes.

Under the corner of the table, only a corset with what appeared to be a shallow cup was left.

“Tredan, are you there? Hello?” Lilian suddenly asked.
