Chapter 4 FOUR
I am a man of control, or so I thought.
I bite back the groan of pain as I adjust my position again. I have an important meeting to attend tomorrow morning and I need to sleep but it is not forth coming.
My cock is as hard as a rock and no matter how I try to quiet down my arousal, it is not budging.
There is no way to ignore it now. I reach for my lube in the bedside table and I kick the covers off. My cock is jutting out and pushing against my boxers.
In the darkness of my bedroom, I feel more than comfortable jerking off to the image of a lying thief but I will never admit it to myself in the morning. Just this once.
I pull my cock from my boxers and I pump the lube all over it. The slippery liquid feels like a soothing balm as I grip my cock in my hand and start stroking.
I picture Anya's mouth wrapped around my hard rod, I swirl my finger over the tip, imagining it is her tongue and I am instantly hit with waves of pleasure immediately the image solidifies in my mind.
I lean back on the headboard, relaxing myself and fisting my cock as fast as I could go.
“That's it baby,” I groan as I imagine pushing my cock down her throat. I imagine her whimpering and I jerk myself harder.
I push my hips forward, thrusting into my hand while stroking. The sensations running through my body are ecstatic and sweet, I don't want to stop.
The orgasm hits and I lose my senses to the primal part of me, the part that is beginning to awake. I stroke my cock faster as I watch ropes of cum shoot out and land on the sheets.
As I finish, I'm left with a deeper, primal hunger.
I throw the lube back into its spot, and I am hit with a wave of embarrassment. How did I lose control so quickly.
Maybe if I put a bullet in her head, I'll be free from her spell.
“Boss?” I look away from the window and turn to Russo.
He looks around the table and points to the file.
“The details of the transaction you asked about. Our stocks are rising higher every day, it has even passes the limit we set in the initial stage. ”
I look around the conference table, the other men are staring at me with confused looks. I clear my throat and take the file.
I pretend to read it but all I can think of is Anya.
“Is this all?”
He nods.
“I see, so is the meeting over then?”
“No boss, we still haven't gone over the building plans of the new branch.” Russo says pushing another file to me.
“My Assistant can handle that. Is that all?”
Russo frowns but nods.
“Yes sir, but I think it will be better if you look over the plans yourself. It's our first branch.”
The only reason I built this company was to act as a hideout to my secret illegal company.
“I trust my assistant. This meeting is over.” None of them dare to object.
I walk out of the conference room and Alessio catches up to me very quickly.
“How long did I give Anya to bring back the two million Dollars?”
“Two days boss.”
“I've changed my mind. Find her and bring her to me. Now, go!”
ANYA
I feel eyes crawling over me as I walk into the hospital. I’ve taken a cup of coffee, and I’m hoping the caffeine starts kicking in soon to calm my nerves.
I go straight to my mother’s room but she’s not there. Panic surges through me and I rush to the reception.
“Hi, good evening… Please, I’m looking for my mum. Her code number is 693317.”
The receptionist looks up at me.
“Anya, hi… your mum was moved to the ER, she had a flare up.”
I don’t wait for her to finish, I rush to the ER.
The doctor is standing in front of my mum’s bed, writing something on his clipboard.
“Miss Anya, we have a problem.”
“What’s the problem?”
The heart monitor is still beeping and it gives me a deep sense of relief.
“I’ve been given orders to move your mother to the wards below.”
I don’t have time to digest the information when a man steps into the ER. He’s wearing a dark leather jacket and dark pants.
I recognize him instantly, he was with Dante the day I was at the mansion. His name is Russo.
What the hell is he doing here?!
“I’ll send the nurses to move her.”
My attention snaps back to the doctor.
“Please give me more time, I’m begging you.”
My voice is beginning to shake. Even if I’m given all the time in the world, I don’t see how I’ll be able to get myself out of this mess.
The warmth in the doctor’s eyes has completely disappeared. He stares at me with nothing but exhaustion.
“My hands are tied.”
“But she will die if we move her.” I counter but the doctor ignores me.
The doctor walks out and that’s when I notice that Russo already left.
I take a seat beside my mother and rest my head on her bed. Tears sting my eyes and I swallow the sobs. I don’t want to wake her, the last time she was awake, she couldn’t recognize me and it was a very traumatic experience that I don’t want to relive.
The exhaustion of the past days sink into my bones and I don’t fight the sleep when it comes.
DANTE
Twenty seven minutes, I have been staring at the contract for twenty seven minutes.
I don’t re-read things.
I don’t hesitate.
I don’t lose focus and yet I’ve been going through a single paragraph over and over again.
I toss the pen away with more force than necessary and shut my eyes. I refuse to be ruled by a pair of brown eyes.
Those eyes in question flash in my mind, it’s stained with tears and filled with so much pain.
My jaw locks and I snap my eyes open. I should be satisfied with her pain and her fear, but I’m restless.
This is not lust, it’s something more primal.
I check my phone and I see a notification from Russo.
I call him and wait while the phone rings.
“Boss,” Russo says into the phone
“Where is she? It’s been over an hour since I sent you to get her.”
“Sir, she’s in the hospital and there’s a problem.”
There is a pause.
“Did she have an accident?”
“No sir, it’s her mother. She’s in the ER…she’s very sick.”
I hear an engine reaching in the background.
“Anya doesn’t have any money to pay for the bills so the doctors can’t treat her.”
How would she not have any money when she stole two million dollars from me?
“Send me the address of the hospital.”
“Okay sir, I will.”
