trying to get near you. You do things to me, Gabrielle.”
He pauses, shutting his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing, “I don’t do intimate because I don’t know how.”
I’m not expecting his response or confession. I find myself drawn to the part of him that’s dark and broken, a kindred spirit. I want to know the part of him that hides from the rest of the world.
I take a long , deep breath and ask the only thing I want to know, “Why didn’t you kiss me in the car or the elevator? Why haven’t you kissed me yet?”
His pie rcing green eyes spring to mine. He straightens up and says, in a matter of fact way, “If I kiss you, I won’t be able to stop myself from taking it further. I want to fuck you, Gabrielle, the way you need it, I need it. I don’t want to rush. I want to take my time to explore and savor you.”
“Oh? What makes you think I would let you?”
“Angel, I would do everything in my power to make you beg for my cock. I’ll make you hungry for me.”
Angel? I’m hardly an angel, but I like it.
I am hungry for him. Truth is, I want him anyway I can get him, but I want respect as well. I need that for and from a man before I go to bed with him.
“I can ’t just fuck. I need possibilities, to know more than your name and financial status. In addition, you’re my boss, which makes boning you kind of complicated…Why didn’t you tell me your last name? Why didn’t you tell me who you were? How old are you? Why didn’t…”
“ Gabrielle, you have to slow down. Please, one question at a time…To answer your name query, check received calls. Did you even look at my number?”
“No…”
He gestures to my purse and waits while I dig out my cell and check. It’s there, listed under the name Hunt. I glance up at him, and he has a grin from ear-to-ear, lighting up his eyes.
“You’re peculiar.” I blurt out. My eyes shoot open, and my hand flies over my mouth.
He shrugs with his omniscient smirk. “I knew you were a smart girl.”
“I’m sorry. I…I don’t know where that came from. I didn’t mean it.”
“Yes, you did. Don’t apologize for telling the truth. I am peculiar, more than you know.”
“There’s a lot I don’t know about you.”
“Yes, this is true and a discussion for another time.”
I think for a few moments then finally settle on a topic.
“How do you see me?” I inquire.
He pauses as he’s about to take a bite of his burger.
“What do you mean?”
“Do you see me as a conquest, as your prey?”
“Yes, and you’re making the chase a lot of fun.”
“How old are you?”
“I’m thirty.”
“Why didn’t you tell me who you were?”
“I’ m a private person with a very public life. It’s not often I meet a woman who doesn’t know who I am. I understand that sounds arrogant, but it’s the truth. When I realized you didn’t recognize me, I took the rare opportunity. I knew if you contacted me, it was because you genuinely wanted me, not who I am and what I can give you.”
“What about my previous statements? About your position over me and the possibility of furthering our…whatever you want to call it.”
He reaches across the table and takes my shaky palm into his large hand, tracing my knuckles with his thumb.
“Please, Gabrielle, don’t think of me just as your boss. I want to be more than that, so much more. I’m not saying we can’t attend functions or have a better understanding of one another. There has to be trust when you do what I do. However, I can’t give you the fairytale. I am not Prince Charming, and I don’t ride off into the sunset with the fair damsel. I fuck her. I want a sex-based relationship, preferably with you.”
He releases my hand with a frown and continues, “I can’t give you all of me. Now, you understand why it will end in tears.” He pauses for a second and looks at me with narrow eyes and a smirk. “Did I hear you correctly? Did you say boning?”
“Yes, I
