My cell vibrated again in my pocket.(having switched it to silent earlier) This time I looked at the caller I.D..
Damn, it was Corrine. In fact the earlier call was from her.
I really wasn't in the mood for one of her long meandering conversations, she couldn't really have too much to say I had only spoken to her a few days ago.In fact if I was her husband I would get pretty pissed off, if she kept phoning another man. Letting the call go to voice mail again,I want to change for this evening.
Arriving at the front desk the concierge refused me entrance,apparently Eva hadn't informed them I was expected. Swallowing my annoyance at being kept waiting in my own building, I patiently waited.
Taylor emerged from the lift. " Sorry about that Gideon, Eva's not quite ready. Let's go on up, she won't be long "
Nodding curtly, I followed him into the lift.Feeling tense, and still a little annoyed, I let him chat freely away only answering him when necessary. He seemed an easy going affable guy. In the apartment he offered me a drink, which I refused.
" Look Gideon, there's something I need to say," he began " Eva is my closest friend, she's precious to me. I know she comes across as a very confidant woman and in some ways she is, but a lot of it is a front. Emotionally she is extremely fragile. I've been doing a little research on you.Your known as a playboy billionaire. You fuck about with her, I don't care how rich you are, I'll kick the shit out of you."
" Coming from you with your track record, that's a bit out of line don't you think? " Casting my mind back to the reports I had received about Taylor, he slept around like a whore.
" I don't care what you think of me, however I do care about Eva."
" Do you give this warning to all Eva's dates? "
" No, this is my first time.She calls you dark and dangerous. Your the first guy I have ever felt could potentially hurt her, badly."
I narrowed my eyes staring intently at him, his concern for Eva was genuine,not that I thought he would be able to kick the shit out of me, I was highly trained in martial arts and knew how to defend myself. " I'll bare it in mind. " I muttered. " Is she going to be much longer? " turning to stare at the view of New York from their window.
" I'll go get her. " his voice returning to the light hearted tone of earlier.
Staring out at the view I wondered whether I would hurt Eva, Taylor was correct, going on my past record the odds were I would.
I sensed her, before I saw her. Turning quickly, then standing stock still, gazing at the beautiful angel before me.
She looks sensational.. dressed in a long brilliant red dress, slashed at the side to her hip, diagonally cut at the top,with an open back. Her dressed display every soft curve of her body, enhancing her beautiful breasts.
For a few moments I am speechless, before collecting myself and taking her soft hand to kiss.
" Hi. " She breathed.
I smiled remembering where my mouth had been, the last time I had put my lips on her.
" Hi yourself, you look amazing. I can't wait to show you off."
" Let's hope I do you justice. " she replied.
Why wouldn't she do me justice? She looks fabulous. I frown trying to work this out, then Cary's earlier words come to mind about her being emotionally fragile. It seems self esteem is one of her problems, beats the life out of me why.
We all took the ride in the car to the lobby,Eva's proximity and the confines of the elevator once again ramped up the sexual tension. In the lobby, placing my hand at the small of Eva's back guiding her to the waiting limousine, we parted company with Cary. At last I had Eva to myself. She stepped into the limousine….
JUST A REMINDER I MAKE NO PROFIT FROM THIS STORY AND ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO SYLVIA DAY. JUST BORROWING THE CHARACTERS FOR A WHILE …
CHAPTER 11
Sliding into the limo after Eva holding her hand and gently stoking her palm,the simple touch had me tugging Eva onto my lap and hitting the button for the privacy glass to slide up.
Eva's reaction was immediate, grasping hold of my hair and molding her lips to mine. Our hands were every where,touching and feeling each others bodies.
Eva moved to straggle me raising her dress above her hips.
The bulge of my erection pressing into her thigh.
Deepening her kiss she licked,sucked and stroked my tongue.
I had never before felt so utterly processed and wanted, my heart thudded under her touch.
Drawing back, my chest heaving, gazing into her eyes, I asked her what are you doing to me.
"I'm touching you, enjoying you. I want you, Gideon " Her words were soft, playful,her voice husky.
Her hands on my chest went lower.
"No! " I protested, " not here. Later, when we have time to finish it. "
Eva never responded, instead she ran her hands down over my waist to my fly. Stopping her again, she protested "I need this."
Looking around I was alarmed,we were in the middle of a city,surrounded by pedestrians and cars.
I narrowed my eyes at her, yet she kept up the slow seductive rhythm. Watching my face through out she placed her hand on my groin slowly undoing my fly.My erection fell heavily into her hands. She wrapped her fingers around my arousal,the sheer sensation had me quivering with pleasure.
" Give this to me." she whispered.
I made no further attempts to stop her. I knew I had no hope in hell of stopping. Gripping her thighs and sliding my thumbs inside her panties, ripping them away." I want to spread your legs and lick you till you beg. "I murmured into her mouth.
Reaching back she unclasped her purse producing a condom.
"I 'm no good with these." Passing the condom to me.
" I'm breaking all my rules for you. " I still couldn't under stand why I was allowing Eva to do this. Lust?
" Rules are made to be broken " she smirked..
This made me smile, pressing the intercom button to tell Angus to keep driving till told otherwise. Eva went bright red.
" Why Eva you seduce me into having sex in my limo, yet blush when I tell my driver not to interrupt us while your doing it to me. "
She positioned herself above the crown of my cock.
" Go slow." I told her.
Pressing down slowly her tight folds squeezing my cock to the point that it was almost painful. She cried out when she'd taken me to the hilt.
"God Eva." I gasped, feeling off kilter. What we were doing was so intimate, so close, eye to eye. My jaw was locked hard as I fought to resist the urge to thrust into her.
Using my right hand to circle her clit,my left to grasp her thigh guiding her movements up and down.
Mad for her I pulled her forward roughly kissing her face murmuring all the things I wanted her to do to me. This sent Eva out of control riding my cock faster and harder until she exploded.
Contol fucked I thrust into her, Fuck, Fuck, " I growled.Pounding my hips up, until I hit the end of her,(it must of hurt her, cause I was a big man, and Eva
was only small,yet I couldn't help it I'd lost control, all I was bothered about was fucking her) I pounded on and on until I found my sweet release, shouting Eva's name with an animal ferocity,as stars flickered behind my eyes blinding me in an overload of sensations.
We sat fore head to forehead,both of us gasping for breath,clasping her face I stared into her eyes,both of our souls laid bare for the other to see. We stayed locked like this for what seemed forever.
" wow," she breathed.
" Yeah, " I grinned. Still staring into her eyes mesmerised, we remained as one.
Eva wouldn't know this but I had just had the best orgasm of my life ….Yet unbelievably I was primed and ready to go again.
After that fucking I wouldn't of thought it possible. Well,we all live and learn..Somehow, though I think it was because it was Eva, she seems to appeal to me on a deeper level than any other woman ever has before.
Sighing a deep breath, cause all I wanted to do was take Eva away and spend the night making love to her. She felt so soft and loveable.
"I don't want to break this moment, but I can't blow this dinner off. I have to give a speech. "
Lifting Eva off me to my side, I gently run a tissue between her legs, before sorting out myself and informing Angus to take us to the charity event.
Leaning back I realise how emotionally attached I've become to Eva in such a short period of time.
Suddenly,a tumult of emotions rushed through my mind. Panic, fear,love, desire and loss of control,but more than anything fear.
My brain became confused with all these conflicting emotions.
I seemed to have no command over my tongue or mind, all I wanted to do was get away from her.
This raw insatiable need for her, frightened the hell out of me.
How could I allow myself to become so emotionally involved when there were aspects of me, that if she found out would drive her away.
God, I need a drink!
Leaning forward opening the bar for a brandy, I offered her a drink,yet found I couldn't look at her.I couldn't understand why I felt so wretched,and didn't want her to read that in my face.
The violence of my emotions continued to come crashing down,
So I used a coping strategy from my teenage years, with drawing into my mind,keeping myself aloof from every one. I was reeling..…
CHAPTER 12
We had arrived at the dinner, the tension in the air palpable,neither of us had spoken.My aloofness leaving a heavy silence.
Eva kept giving me tiny side long glances.She must be wondering what the hell had come over me. I didn't have the time or the inclination to address that with her.
By automatic reflex Eva takes my arm. We deserve an award for our acting abilities, smiling and stopping by rote for the mass of waiting paparazzi.
When inside a friend calls my name,waking from my self imposed stupor,I head over. Only when I reach him do I realize Eva has slipped away. Feeling a frisson of annoyance and sense of loss, I bite back my temper. Once again resorting back to my acting abilities, I go through with the normal social niceties, I played my part well enough I suppose.
Turning, scanning the room for Eva,she's with Taylor and her family. Taylor is holding her hand, with a concerned expression across his features.
Shit, she's telling him …. That make's me mad as hell.
Distracted, I automatically answer my cell without looking at the caller I.D., "Cross.. " I bit out.
" Er.. Gideon..? " A soft familiar voice breathes hesitantly.
Shit it's Corrine again.. What the hell does she want?I really could do without this at the moment.
" Gideon… I.. I.. need your help..I'm.. having a bit of a crisis "
So am I, baby, so am I ….
" Corrine. I would like to help, but I in a tight spot here, I'm at a charity dinner, I have to give a speech,Can't this wait? "
" Oh Gideon.. " She then proceeds to burst into tears, making me feel bad for trying to fob her off.
" Corrine! Stop that. What the hell is up with you? "
" I'm leaving him Gideon.. I need your help.. " She sobbed.
" Giroux! What's he done? " I'd strangle the bastard if he's hurt her.
" Nothing.. It's me.. I …I..keep thinking..of … of.. us, "
My thoughts slammed to a halt. Oh fuck! no..no.. not again..I don't want this, it's Eva I want. There, I've admitted to myself, it's Eva, always Eva.
Taking a deep breath, speaking in my most cool and calm impassive way " Corrine, I'll call you back, when I get home." "Don't leave it for long, Gideon. I 'm struggling here."
" Very well, speak to you soon. "
Ending the call,I make my way over to Eva, could this evening get any more intense?
Placing my hand on the bare skin of her lower back sent tingles resonating up my arm. Eva tenses.
" Eva. You ran off, " She shot me a glare, full of recriminations, then proceeded to introduce the Stantons to me.
I made some comments about having the most beautiful women with us in the room, at the same time pulling Eva away from Cary, I wanted her up close to me. Cary replaced her empty champagne flute, that was my job..
" Remember you're here with me." I whispered harshly, my jealous nature rearing it's ugly head.
" Your one to talk. "She whispered fiercely back.
" Not here, Eva. Not now. " Nodding at everyone I led her away.
" Not ever! " Was the angry retort.
Deciding to ignore her comment, (I mean we couldn't really have a full scale showdown, when we were the principle guests, in a room full of several hundred people, the press would have a field day!) I wouldn't forget though, we'd revisit later.
We made our way around the hall, talking to all the principle guests and future donors' whom the charity asked me to speak to.
We spoke to everyone apart from each other, unless I was introducing my friends to her..even at the table we were quiet,and I made no attempt to draw her into a conversation.
At one point I thought of the Krug champagne we had waiting for us at the hotel, God, even if by some miracle I could get her there, she'd probably pour it over me, then hit me on the head with the bottle, for good measure. What a waste of $700 champagne! That thought was probably the only light hearted moment of the evening!
I made my speech, child sex abuse is a cause close to my heart, (for obvious reasons) I'm a good orator, accustomed to addressing the public. Where this subject is concerned, I don't hold back, what did surprise me though was Eva,standing immediately I had finished, clapping with an awed expression across her beautiful features.
Stepping from the stage, I was engulfed in a deluge of people eager for attention I had no option but to spend some time answering their enquiries.
From the corner of my eye I saw Madalalene patiently waiting to the side.
"Maggie, how are you? You look lovely as usual." Enabling me to lose those who I was surrounded by. "Well, thank you Gideon,and you "
" Not to bad.. You know.." Scanning the room trying to locate Eva. " You seem distracted? " She mutters.
"No, I'm ….." …..I'll kill him. Fucking Christopher! She's dancing with Christopher.. the little shit. As I watch he moves away, Cary takes his place.
" Gideon..? "
" You'll have to excuse me Maggie, we'll catch up later."
Moving over to where Eva and Cary are dancing.
" I'm cutting in. " It wasn't a request..
Reluctantly, Taylor moved away.
Holding Eva close, sent pleasant sensations through my chest.
" You keep running off.. " I scowled.
" Seems like Magdalalene picked up the slack quickly enough. "
Arching my brow and pulling her closer " jealous? " I hoped she was, I understood jealousy.
" Seriously? " she scorned.
Frustrated I sighed loudly. My brother came to mind.
" Stay away from my brother, Eva "
" Why? " Because he's a twisted fucker,I'd better not say that.
" Because I said so."
"Stay away from Magdalalene, Gideon " She furiously hissed.
" She's a good friend "
" Meaning you haven't slept with her …? Yet. "
My anger got the better of me. " No, damn it, and I don't want to. Look, I bought you here and I would like to be the one who takes you home, I have to leave, however if your enjoying yourself I won't pull you away. Do you want to stick around and go home with your mother? "
She looked at me as if I was a complete idiot for even entertaining the idea that she might be enjoying herself. It was a stupid thing for me to say.
The dance ended she pushed away from me,
"I'll be fine. Forget about me." Her voice was angry full of hurt, hurt I 'd inflicted.
Stepping towards her, my voice soft, chest aching " Eva … "
Cary's arm encircled her waist pulling her to him.
" I've got her, Cross "
" Don't get in my way, Taylor. " I threatened. I was only willing to accept his misplaced concern to a certain extent. Allowing his big brother chat, was as far as it went. His interference was unwelcome, unwarranted and quite frankly none of his business. Taylors warnings had been all hyperbole, mine weren't.
Taylor snorted " I get the impression your doing a smoking job of that all by yourself "
"You gave a wonderful speech, Gideon. It was the highlight of my evening " Eva added coldly.
I took a deep breath in.Her carefully targeted insult hitting the bulls eye. Narrowing my eyes at her, shaking my head, as my wounded pride struggled to recover, Pushing my hands through my hair as a delaying tactic,deliberating my reply,the blasted cell vibrated again ….Cursing, glancing at the screen..Corrine again..
I needed to sort this, I could make no further headway with Eva, if Corrine was looming on the horizon. Plus she was a friend, a friend in need.
Catching Eva's gaze and running my fingers slowly down her cheek " I have to go. I'll call you..."
All rights belong to Sylvia day, just borrowing the characters and having some fun.
Chapter 13
Back in the limo, at last. As Angus pulls out into the evening traffic, sighing I lean back closing my eyes for some respite.
Immediately I visualize Eva as she was, in the car only a few hours ago. The red dress pushed up around her waist, the tightness of her sweet little cunt as she slid over my cock, again and again… the little needy sounds she made just before she exploded, the intense high I had felt when I came, it was so intense it almost hurt. God, I had to stop doing this, thinking of her like that,I seemed to have a constant hard on. Just recently me and palm were becoming too attached to each other …..
Corrine… Now I'm home I need to phone her, I can't have her leaving her husband for me, we just won't be happening.
We talk for what feels an age, she tentatively touches on the subject of us. I can't lie to her, it would be unfair, I've let her down before. " Corrine " I say softly. " There's no easy way to say this. I've met someone, so do not leave your husband for me. He's a good man, he loves you, try again to make it work,all marriages go through bad patches."
" Oh! ….. Who..? Who have you … met..? " She whispers, her voice breaking.
" Eva, her name is Eva. When the time is right I'd like you to meet her." There's a long pause as she absorbs my words.
" Oh Gideon I thought …"
" No Corrine, we … well, you and me, no, I'm with Eva now". I try to speak kindly, knowing my words are hurting her.
She's silent, says nothing. " Corrine I'm still your friend, and if your still set on leaving Giroux, I'll be there for you.You know, help you find an apartment, pick you up from the airport etc. Just phone and let me know, don't be to hasty, give your marriage a chance."
I finish the call it wasn't pleasant,yet it had to be done. Now Eva? I thought back to the time in the car, when I'd panicked and with drawn into my mind, trying to put myself in her situation so as to get some idea of what she would have been thinking. Shit.. she would of taken my behaviour as rejection..I'd no doubt left her feeling humiliated and hurt, which, later at the dinner had turned into anger. She'd told me she needed respect in her sexual relationships,and I'd shown the opposite.My behaviour to her had been shameful. I needed to make amends and quickly.
Sleep didn't come easily, in between, red dresses, bouts of anger, then sheer panic, it came as no surprise to wake up violently in the midst of one of my nightmares. Drenched in sweat and feeling like garbage, I gave up on sleep and went to the gym at 4.30 am,doing a punishing 2 hour work out, before returning home to shower and catch up on some work.
By 8 am I had ordered a huge arrangement of red roses, insisting on having the natural fragranced flowers, I enclosed a hand written card with ' I'm still thinking about you. Gideon '. By 9.30 I began phoning (I still didn't have her mobile number) I rang the number repeatedly, leaving several messages asking her to phone me back. At 2 pm I am beginning to become desperate …..
The ding from the elevator distracts me, it has to be someone I know or they wouldn't have got past security.
Arnoldo knocks then enters flapping a newspaper about with a broad grin lighting up his face.
" Have you seem this? " waving the paper about " It's you, a picture of you and a beautiful curvy blonde attached to your arm… …!" He gracefully glides down onto the couch across from me.
" Hello Arnoldo, do sit down."
He makes a frustrated sound " What's up with you? didn't you get laid? "
"Everything, and yes I did "
"Gideon, what's up with you? " He sounds exasperated.
" I fucked up, Arnoldo. And now she won't speak to me " I gave him a quick run down on last nights events.
"Jeez, what a fuck up! and Corrine that's all you needed. You need to get Corrine told pretty quick, I told you years ago she wasn't the girl for you, if you remember we fell out over it."
" Corrine's aware of Eva I think she'll back off."
" I was thinking of going round? "
" Gideon, that's up to you,but you've sent her flowers, phoned, left messages.May be it's best to let her sleep on it,Let her calm down " I nod in agreement, I know he's right.
The truth of it is I had fucked up. I just had to hope I hadn't upset her to the extent that she wouldn't see me again.Not that it would stop me.I'd make her see me ….
I arrived at work around 8 am,deliberately going early. As last monday, I sat glued to the security monitor waiting for Eva to arrive. 8.30 she breezed through the doors, moving swiftly, head down avoiding looking around. I tried to read her expression she came across as being on edge. May be that was what I wanted to see,I don't know, but I intended to find out.
It's ok angel, I 'm not going to pounce just yet. I'm gonna let you settle in, become complacent.
There were a couple of matters I needed to deal with one easy the other not so. The first arranging lunch for Eva and I, that was easy, I informed Scott what I wanted and left him to it. Before dealing with the second issue I received a call from Maggie.
" Gideon, you left early on Saturday? We didn't have chance to talk. Did you and Eva Tramell fall out? I noticed you didn't leave together. "
This really was none of her business, she was on a fishing expedition …. I humoured her with a none answer.
" There was a slight crisis with a friend of mine, I had no option except to leave and deal with it." Ignoring her question about Eva completely. Of course Corrine was Maggies friend as well, it was up to Corrine to tell her though,she wouldn't hear anything through me.
" Do you know Eva?" These society girls tended to know one another, although with Eva just moving here it was unlikely.
" No. As you can imagine being your escort she garnered a lot of interest.Everybody wanted to know who she is. I … hmmm..well.. I did speak to her, after you left. It.. how can I put it, err. It didn't go well.. That's why I wondered if you had fallen out? She seemed a bit upset."
Damn…. " It's beyond me Maggie, no idea." I lied " Maggie I need to go, speak to you soon."
Now the second matter, this wasn't going to be pleasant. I tapped in the number.
" Gideon, is there a problem? " My brothers cold voice on the other end of the line.
We didn't waste time on any pleasantries, he hated my guts and the feelings were reciprocated. The only reason why he spoke to me was because he had no choice. I owned the controlling shares in Vidal Records. I had purchased them several years back when the record industry was going through a difficult time. Not because I particularly wished to help my family, or had an interest in that field, apart from the fact it was part and parcel of the entertainment / leisure industry. No I purchased them because I wanted control. Yes that word again, control of Christopher. I'd tried everything, being nice, money, persuasion, nothing worked, so I took from him what he valued, hence a little more control. Of course he hated me all the more for that but I didn't give a toss. I'd only ever needed him once in my life and boy had he let me down, big time … I'll never forgive him for that.
I got straight to the point." What were you doing dancing with Eva? "
" I didn't realise it was necessary to run by you who I dance with? Anyhow, you were busy and Eva looked bored and miserable, I was helping you out. "
" Don't mess with me Christopher, I know what you're up to."
" What's all the drama about? Your not even dating her. I asked, she said it was just a case of two people going to the same event in one car, that to me reads as her being available."
I could just imagine him questioning her. Christopher could be very charismatic and charming when he chose to be.
I kept my voice low, cold, hard. " Stay away from her. I don't want to have this conversation with you again." The threat implicit in my voice. … There was a long pause ….
" Okay, point taken." He said grimly.
" Good. Just making sure we're reading from the same sheet."
Hitting the end button, sitting back closing my eyes trying to rid myself of the distaste I felt when dealing with my brother.
11.20am still no contact from Eva, looks like I'm going to have to make the first move. I dial her number..
Her soft voice sends warmth through me.
"How's your day been so far " I enquire.
" Hectic."
" Good." I pause, take a deep breath, " I tried calling you yesterday. I wanted to hear your voice. "
" I did the hermit thing and worked a little."
" Did you get the flowers I sent? "
" Yes. There lovely. Thank you. "
" They reminded me of your dress."
"Some might say that's romantic. "
She was referring to one of our earlier conversations, when I had told her 'romance wasn't in my repertoire ' Shows you what I know …..
" I only care what you say. " Rising from my chair I take a deep breath.. here goes "I thought about stopping by ….I wanted to. "
" I'm glad you didn't. " She whispers..
Oh shit.. " I deserved that. "
" I didn't say it to be a bitch. It's just the truth. "
I knew it was, but she still wasn't getting out of today.
" I know. Listen …I've arranged for lunch here in my office, to avoid wasting time going to and forth. "
" Gideon we don't have any reason to have lunch together, we hashed things out Friday, and..took care of business Saturday ….. Let's just leave it at that."
My whole body tensed, my voice rough and raw " Eva …. I know I fucked up. Let me explain. "
"You don't have to. It's okay." She breathed softly.
" It's not I need to see you. " I pleaded.
"I don't ….."
I interrupted her, she was going to see me, my voice took on a hard edge. " We can do this the easy way, or you can make this difficult. Either way, you'll hear me out. " And she would even if it meant me going to her office demanding her attention.
