Consumed 27

The office got over everyone rushed out but I remained there confused as ever. I knew that I should convince him to let me go but how could I when I could hardly convince myself. I wasn't terrified of him. He won't touch me unless I invite him to. But I worried whether it was a good idea to go to his home when I hadn't gotten over him. Even if I waited for a few days or months I don't think I will get over him. I should deal with whatever is in store for me. For now I will go with him tonight. I felt the phone vibrating. I took the call after checking the number. It was Harry of course. I was relieved that he had chosen to call me instead of matching to my cabin.

"Have you left the office?", he asked.

"No", I told him.

"Good then I will take you to my home we can go together. I have to finish some work it will be over soon", he said.

"I need to change", I told him. I have been in the office all day. I felt my self icky and sweaty after a crowded elevator ride.

"I can arrange all that. Come to my office. Everyone had left except the security. They won't gossip", he told me.

I hardly worried about the gossips now. It comes as a package deal him and gossip. Once he leave me alone everything will die down eventually. I was a little afraid of the vengeance with which they will attack when they will come to know that he stopped paying attention towards me. But soon it will all die down. He had asked me to go to his cabin. I walked slowly towards him. I couldn't help but cast a wary glance at the vacant seats. No one had stayed in. This company doesn't force people to stay back unlike others. He preferred people do their jobs early than stayed in. I admired him for thinking differently than his contemporaries.

I gently knocked and I heard a come in. I pushed the door open and closed it. His office was very neat. He preferred to work paperless. So there was hardly any clutter. His eyes caressed my body and I blushed hard.

I knew every second I'm spending with him is dangerous. But I was powerless drawn to the flame like a moth. He will burn me. But I hardly cared about it.

"Sir", he told me. I went on to sit before him. He did only look at me occasionally. I lowered my eyes not knowing what to say to him. I decided to sit quietly till he was done.

"You are very silent for a woman", said him and I looked up immediately. I used to talk a lot in middle school. My mother called me a chatter box. But ever since I had moved from my school. I kind of shut myself. We couldn't afford the rent. I lost all my friends. We moved in to a relatively cheaper locality. I couldn't fit myself in well. I ended up being a pariah.

"I will be finished soon. Can you type? My head is aching", he told me. He is my boss I can hardly deny him. He moved the laptop towards me and came to sit by the side of the desk near me. I gulped down my nervousness why do my heart tends to race when he comes near me?

I saw that I was supposed to type an email. He started to say the report and I typed with my best possible speed. He gave too many numbers than words for his report. I was surprised at his numerical skills. Not everyone could hash out numbers confidently as him. When he goes silent all of a sudden. I looked at him and found him watching me intensely. I tucked away a piece of hair that had fallen over my eyes. But I couldn't exactly place it behind my ears and it ended up coming right before my eyes.

I saw his long fingers taking the unruly strand and tucked it safely behind my ear. I closed my eyes because he has touched me and we were in a private space. I felt the blood pumping through my veins.

His finger lingered in my face for a moment and he took it back just like that. I drew a breath I was holding out.

"Let us go", he said helping me out of the chair. I walked with his hand around my waste. I felt him tightening his grip for a second as of he was afraid that I will run away from him.

I noticed that he was very well towering over me. He is very young comparing to the rest of his billionaire friends . He also worked very hard. Whatever he had he got because of his hardwork. I wondered how his rest of the family was? I have met his biological mother and was very disappointed. I was glad that she didn't get to raise him.

He ushered me into the elevator. I stood there and he let go of me to press the elevator button. I was heartbroken that he didn't touch me anymore. We got out of the elevator. I was walking in a forbidden territory. I will be consumed by the need for him. It won't be long before I will fall spiralling down and there won't be anything to stop me from hurting myself.

He ushered me to his car. I got in mechanically. Why was I ready to forgive him even if he didn't ask for it ? The truth is that I had given my virginity to him and he took it happily with out returning me any thing. He didn't serve me with trust or respect. He went on to have a date with his ex flame as soon as he secured me. How could I forgive him easily and if I did then how could I forgive myself?
