HAPPY FOREVER AFTER

“Fair enough.” Emma said. “I will let you know when I’m free”

“Yeah. By six. You better don’t change your mind. We have a lot to talk about”

He moved closer, invading her professional space and making her dizzy with his too-large presence. As if he understood his effect on her, he glanced at her and smiled. This close, the sheer weight of him became his most obvious and overwhelming attribute.

Emma had always found some irresistible lure in the size and weight of men. Their solidity. Their strength. It was a quality that was never more apparent than when a guy was naked against her, moving inside her, all that force and heft and power barely restrained.

Emma sighed. If she kept up this line of thinking, she would definitely end up doing something she would later regret. Like inviting Daniel to be her own personal muse for the night.

Emma discreetly tried to wipe away the film of perspiration that had formed on her upper lip.

“Yeah about that… I might need to be a little later than six,” she said “Maybe more like seven.”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

He shrugged. “Sounds good.”

“I will talk to you later, then,” she said, smiling.

As if she would be able to do much else.

This was the moment when he should have gone back to wherever he came from… Wherever he should be, but instead he lingered a little too long. Didn’t he have work to do?

Her senses went on alert, and the tingly feeling in her nether regions returned with a vengeance.

She was pathetic. She thought. Her life had gotten so dull, even a smile from him and being close to him could get her hot.

She turned back to her laptop, hoping maybe he would get the message and leave. Then out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone approaching.

The woman was beautiful. She wore white linen pants that hugged her hips and clung to her legs, Italian leather heels. Her bodice- two thin strips of cloth knotted at the nape of her neck that revealed part of her chest.

As she moved towards them, she attracted a lot of attention, especially from the guys around.

The platinum hair framed a beautiful but petulant face.

“Hello, Michelle,” Daniel said.

“Daniel” she said cheerfully, then gave him a hug. A really tight hug in Emma’s opinion.

He frowned and eased out of her embrace.

“Oh Daniel”. She cooed in a sultry voice, “First you move down here, away from me. You hardly keep in touch. You always say you are very busy. And now you won’t even give me a hug?. Come on, haven’t you missed me? I know I have missed you terribly”

“Fine,” Daniel said, smiling. And then he gave her the hug she wanted. One that lasted longer than it should have.

Despite her heels, she barely reached his shirted midchest.

Emma felt an unfamiliar knot in her stomach as the woman’s pale arms reached around his flat waist to press her chest against him. Daniel didn’t make any attempt to move away from her this time. Why was this happening in front of her? She wanted to punch something… Or someone… Preferably Daniel. The man was responsible for all the annoying feelings she had been having lately.

“Emma Green,” Daniel said. “Meet Michelle Morris. A business partner of mine, advertising executive to be precise. Michelle, meet Emma. Accountant, Redding’s plc.

The introduction brought a gasp from Michelle as Daniel went on to state that Emma also handled one of Kay Corp Accounts.”

“Wow,” Michelle said. “That must be really stressful for you. You know… Because you also have to go through your company’s financial statements as well. I don’t think I would be able to do that. I would be so terrible at it. It’s not my fault, though. This body isn’t built for all that kind of stress”

Emma noted the pleasure written on Daniel’s face as she said unexpectedly, “Well, I am a woman who does everything well. Guess that makes us both very different indeed”

For some reason Emma disliked the woman already. And why the hell was she all over Daniel like that… Like she owned him.

She didn’t own him either. She reminded herself. She had no right or reason to feel the way she was feeling right now.

Michelle glared at her. Her small hand fluttered to caress the well-trimmed hair at the nape of Daniel’s neck, smoothing the slight wave possessively.

“Daniel, honey”. She breathed against his ear, and the rest was lost as he chuckled.

Emma’s stomach tightened ominously. She wanted to rip that well manicured hand off Daniel.

The thought sent her stomach into flip flops. Everything about him seemed to raise her primitive instincts. Why should she care about his women? Yet the sour taste of what Emma regretfully labeled jealousy remained.

Emma looked at Michelle, making no attempt to hide her contempt as the woman’s overflowing breasts nestled against Daniel’s sinewy bicep.

She sizzled, frustrated by her own emotions as Michele gazed back at her.

Emma glared at Daniel and found him regarding her openly furious face with a slow, pleased grin.

This charade was all his fault, she thought. She wanted to slap him. And if she did, he deserved it. Business partner, indeed. The woman oozed sex.

“Daniel” Michelle said, her possessive hand sliding down his jaw. “We should go talk in your office… Don’t you think so?”

“Yes Daniel,” Emma said. “Why don’t you take her to your office.

She probably needed him to carry her there. Emma thought. With the way she was acting like it was a taboo if she ever did anything for herself.

“Well, I will see you around, Emma,” Michelle said as they left. One of her hands wrapped around Daniel’s waist.

“Oh… I don’t think so…”. Emma replied. “You know… Because I’m a very busy person”

She honestly didn’t want to see her again. She thought. And maybe agreeing to go out with Daniel was not such a good idea after all.
