“What will people think when they see me stepping out of a limo with you? Word will get out fast and pretty soon I’ll be headlined as Ivan’s new toy” I say voicing my insecurities. He gets off his stool before coming over to me and tilting my head up so I was looking at him.
“Mia cara, you’re not just some toy to me and you should know that. I get that my reputation gives you some doubts but I can assure you, that you’re important to me” he replies softly while leaning down to kiss my forehead in reassurance. I nod reluctantly before speaking.
“Do you think I could drive myself today? I’m not ready for people to know about us yet” I respond hoping he complied. Looking into his eyes, I could tell he was struggling to give me an answer. After a few moments of silence, he finally sighs before answering.
“If it’ll make you feel better then fine but you have to promise to let me touch you even if we’re at work” he reasons with me and I smile before nodding and kissing him on the cheek.
“If letting you touch me was all it took for you to say yes, then I’ll be getting my way more often” I joke and open the door to leave without waiting for his response.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Getting into my car, I start the engine before driving in the direction of Stone Industries. It takes me about ten minutes to get there before I’m pulling into the parking lot. Cutting the engine, I hop out of my car and begin walking into the building towards the receptionist to check in. I greet them with a smile and head to the cafeteria wanting to see Connor before work started. To my luck he was sitting by himself, his back to me and I take this as my chance. I tip toe towards him before I’m standing behind him before whispering.
“Guess who bitch” I whisper creepily and I watch as he jumps in fright. Giggling, I take a seat next to him waiting for his response.
“Jesus Amelia, would it kill you to walk up to me like a normal person instead of nearly giving me a heart attack” he exclaims in fake anger and I giggle once again.
“What’s the fun in that Conny” I ask with a smile and he glares at me before cracking a smile.
“How’s life been without me” he asks genuinely interested and I blush at the thought of Mr. Stone.
“It’s been amazing not having an overbearing presence constantly nagging me” I reply pretending to be interested in my nails.
“Well damn, way to bruise a guy’s ego” he says feigning hurt while clutching his heart.
“Knocking down an arrogant ass a few pegs is my specialty” I sass before adding “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get upstairs before Mr. Stone has a fit. Bye Conny” I say over my shoulder hearing a faint bye from him. Getting into the elevator, I wait patiently for it to reach the top floor before exiting and walking towards his office. I walk in without knocking and see Ivan typing away at his laptop not noticing my presence.
“Good morning Mr. Stone” I say seductively getting his attention. He gives me a once over before instructing me to shut the door. I comply and walk over to him, stopping at the end of his desk.
“Can you please call Jason and set up another appointment for this afternoon at the restaurant across the street” he instructs while guiding me over to his lap. Sitting down, I lean against his chest and nod before responding.
“Wasn’t he the one that was flirting with me last time while I was with you” I question knowing the answer.
“Yes” he grumbles before peppering small kisses on my neck.
“He was cute but not my type” I reply sighing in pleasure. He snaps his head to look at me and I smile at him innocently.
“You’re mine mia cara” he says possessively before capturing my lips in a dominant kiss. We fight for control but he wins and I moan as he continues his assault on my already swollen lips. Pulling away, I lean my forehead against his before responding.
“Yours”
Amelia’s pov.
After our a little moment, I quickly got off his lap and straighten out my dress. As I’m about to walk over to my desk, I feel a light slap on my bum and I jump in surprise before turning around to glare at Mr. Stone. He looks at me with a smirk and gives me a teasing wink.
“Asshole” I grumble shaking my head emitting a laugh from him as I walk away.
I take a seat and begin focus on my work. I pick up the post it note with Jason’s number on it and dial before putting it on speaker in case Ivan wanted to listen. Someone answers on the third ring:
“Jason Maxwell speaking” said a deep voice from the other end.
“Yes Mr. Maxwell, this is Amelia Winters calling to arrange a meeting between you and my boss Mr. Stone” I reply curtly slowly glancing at Ivan to see him already gazing at me intensely.
“Oh yes Amelia, how’s life been treating you” he asks, his voice expressing his sudden interest.
“I’m doing well sir thank you but I was calling about a meeting with Mr. Stone” I ask trying to keep the conversation as short as possible once I see Ivan’s nostrils flare in annoyance.
“When was he looking to meet me? I’m free 3:30pm today if that’s ok” he responds back in business mode and I glance over to Ivan for approval which he gives me a short nod.
“Alright then, three-thirty it is” I answer getting ready to hang up.
“I’ll be looking forward to seeing you again Ms. Winters” he flirts before the line goes dead. I roll my eyes at his blatant flirting and turn my chair to look at Mr. Stone. His eyes were piercing and held an air of intensity that frightened me a bit.
“W-we’ll be meeting him at 3:30” I confirm to him before turning towards my laptop, not wanting to be the center of his apparent annoyance. I begin typing away at my laptop trying to stay focused on the task at hand but find it very difficult with someone’s constant staring. Feeling fed up, I swing my chair around to face him before speaking.
“Do you have a staring problem or something, because it seems to be all your doing today” I snap making sure my annoyance was very evident in my tone.
“Not my fault when all you seem to do is tempt me mia cara” he responds unfazed but his eyes darken slightly.
“If you’re tempted with me just sitting here and doing my work that YOU assigned me then I think you have a major problem” I bite back making sure to put emphasis on the you.
“Mia cara, you could look completely shit faced and I’d still find you tempting” he says back with a small smirk and I blush causing his smirk to widen.
“Well quit it, you’re distracting me” I mutter pathetically not having anything else to say.
I turn back to my laptop after my response and I hear him slightly chuckle before I hear a shuffling of papers notifying me of him going back to work. Deciding to do the same, I start typing up a couple of documents trying to stay focused. The documents were for future meetings and Ivan wanted me to put them in the filing cabinet once I was done. I print them out once I’m finished and walk over to begin putting them in the cabinets. It took about a half hour to finish typing and putting them away.
