So
we plagiarized a design and slapped our brand on it?” he asked.
“ Sir,
plagiarism only applies to written…” Proctor started but
then shut up when he noticed the look Daniel was giving him. “We
need to make it pop if we are going to make any money off it,”
he concluded.
“ Well,
I am way over here and R&D is not my specialty,” he said.
“ Yes
sir but you still have to come over and take…” Proctor
started before Daniel cut him off.
“ Seriously
Proctor. I hate to be a mean boss but if you keep talking your job
will be on the line.”
“ Okay.
Talk to Lena. Got it. Bye Mr. Reese,” Proctor said before he
hung up. Daniel took a long deep breath and ran his hand through his
hair. He was just confused about everything. How was he supposed to
tell Erica about this? They had just been talking about taking off to
Belize a little earlier…around twenty minutes ago, actually.
He sighed and closed his eyes in defeat. This was definitely not
good.
Chapter 4
He had his eyes
closed when Erica walked into the room. She leaned against the door
frame looking at him for a long minute before she finally walked over
to where he was. She planted a small kiss on his forehead making him
open his eyes. He looked at her and smiled.
“ Hey
there, beautiful,” he said as she walked round the couch to
where he was.
“ Hey.
Are you okay?”
“ Well,
to be honest, I’ve been better,” he said in a low voice.
She sat on the edge of the couch and looked at him.
“ Come
here,” she said softly. He looked at her while resting his head
on her lap and she slowly began to stroke his hair. “Do you
want to talk about it?” she asked.
“ Not
really,” he said as he slipped an arm around her hips. She
smiled and began to slowly massage his head. “Oh wow,
that’s…that feels so good,” he said in a low
voice.
“ You
still don’t want to talk about it?” she asked in a soft
voice.
“ Baby,
talking about it is only going to upset you,” he said as he
looked up at her. She ran her fingers through his hair, applying a
little pressure making him moan in pleasure. “This is a bribe,
isn’t it?” he asked in a soft voice.
“ Well,
it depends,” she said as she went on running her fingers
through his thick mane. She ran her fingers down to the base of his
neck and he groaned pleasurably.
“ Stop
it. You are going to drive me crazy,” he said in a whisper.
“ I
heard you talking to the guy at work. I know you have to go back
home,” she said.
He turned his head to
the side and looked up at her.
“ I’m
sorry,” he whispered.
“ It’s
okay,” she smiled as she went on running her fingers through
his hair.
“ I
really don’t want to disappoint you or anything,” he
said. She ran her index finger from his forehead to his lips.
“ There
is nothing that you could do that would ever disappoint me and that’s
a promise,” she said in a low voice. She was trying to put on a
brave face. She looked at him and forced out a smile. “You are
a perfect man in every way.”
He reached up and
touched her face softly. “No one has ever said that to me.”
“ Really?
I find that hard to believe,” she said in a soft voice. He
brought his hand up and slipped a hand behind her neck and pulled her
down. He raised his head and brushed her lips softly. The kiss slowly
graduated from soft and sweet to long and hard making her moan into
his mouth.
“ Shouldn’t
you be getting packed?” she asked softly when he pulled away.
He got up from the couch and looked at her before he stretched his
handout to her. She put her hand in his and he pulled her up.
“ Shhh…I
don’t want to talk about that right now,” he said.
“ But
it sounded urgent,” she said in a soft voice.
“ It’s
okay baby,” he said in a whisper as he cupped her face. He
kissed her again, soundly and deeply making her flee from her
consciousness. She closed her eyes and he kissed her over and over,
deeper and more sensually. It
