sex-me boss.

on december thirty-first, olivia had spent the whole day working, and luckily maggie was there to help her. she was completely out of breath, and in fact, she’d thought several times about asking maggie a question, but maggie gave her the impression that she’d already understood what she wanted to ask her, which olivia found very suspicious. she might have managed to escape for her bath in the evening, but she wasn’t about to let it go, which was why she’d found him in the guest room she was occupying.

-Why are you following me Oli and shouldn’t you be getting ready too? Damon will be here soon and I don’t think it’s wise to welcome him like this, do you? you’ve been working all day.

-I live with Damon and I know what he’s like so don’t worry about what he might think if he finds me like this or not. Now I’d like to drop my subject and talk about you if you want to and even if you don’t, I’m going to force you because you’re my friend and I’m worried about you so are you ready or not?

Maggie got up and walked around the room, although she didn’t know what she was looking for. Maybe it was so she could fix herself because she didn’t know where she stood, but why talk about it if it wasn’t even there? and maybe it was even between someone else’s legs. She’d seen Olivia suffer for the love she felt for Damon because she kept telling herself he could be a good playboy and now she was in the same situation.

-You know perfectly well that I understand you, don’t you Maggie? stop pretending that I’m an outsider in this story and I’ll have you know that last year Damon was baptized as the biggest whorehouse in New Orleans and all that was left for him to do was get medals. I know I don’t spend my days with him to find out what’s going on, but I trust him. now are we talking about James or not?

-After all, it’s not going to change anything. What would you like to know, Olivia?

-Are you in love with him or not? I know the last time you told me you had feelings for him but now I want to know if you’re in love with him or not.

-If thinking about him all the time, closing your eyes and seeing only him, being afraid that he’s between another woman’s legs, always wanting to know what he’s doing and if he’s healthy is what loving someone and being in love is, then I admit I’m in love with James but…

-I’m not asking you to tell him that you’re in love with him, no, but seduce him even more and you’ll see. I always tell you, my relationship with Damon is an example of this, even if I was trying to run away from him.

they hugged and Olivia left the room. when she got to hers, she washed up and went to her dressing room. Damon

had bought her a special dress for New Year’s Eve and insisted she wear it, so she had no choice but to give in to his whims. Damon had invited a few people he knew perfectly well; it was the first time he’d celebrated outside the company and he’d wanted to share his joy with them. He’d gone out to play golf with his friends, and Olivia couldn’t stop looking at the clock since it was already late.

-He’s still not back then? asked Maggie, who had just come into the living room dressed in a sparkling midnight blue, pumps and, above all, wavy hair that shook with every movement.

-You’re gorgeous, Maggie. You’re really going to outshine me tonight, you know.

-And I don’t see what’s wrong with that, my dear friend. You’ve already found your Prince Charming and I think it’s time for me to find mine, so please give me a chance. just for tonight and then I’ll let you shine.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Olivia burst out laughing, forgetting that she was even angry at her fiance for not wanting to come back and get ready. She was proud of her friend like that, to see that she had decided to dive in and get to the other side of the river no matter what was waiting for her there.

-So you’re calling him?

-It’s impossible because he left the phone in the room before he left, as if he didn’t want to be disturbed. The only time Damon doesn’t want to be disturbed is when he’s having a good time, so you think…

-that my wife still doesn’t trust me and keeps doubting my sincerity, but if it takes me a thousand years to prove myself, I’m willing to do it because I love you and you’re the perfect woman in my eyes.

it was Damon who had just entered the room. Olivia was relieved to know that he wasn’t angry about what he’d heard, but it wasn’t his fault that he always wanted to piss her off at any moment. when Damon advanced towards her, she stepped back, causing him to gasp in surprise. it was the very first time she’d ever done that.

-I wonder what kind of golf you were playing on December thirty-first, only to come home now. I’d rather you went and got ready, because any moment now, the guests will be here, don’t you see?

Damon left, sulking. When the doorbell rang, she left Olivia in charge and went into the kitchen to check on her friend.

-My dear Oliva, I’m so happy to see you again.

-Come on in, Tyler, you’re looking very handsome.

-I’m going to blush if you keep this up.

Olivia burst out laughing. Tyler was never going to change then. He was always in a good mood and knew how to simplify life. Olivia loved being in his presence, except that he was the busiest of the three boys. An hour later, almost everyone was there and only James remained. Olivia could see the worry on Maggie’s face, which was why she’d gone to Damon to ask, and he’d assured her that James was coming. When she heard the sound of someone coming through the gate, she told Maggie to go and check, pretending she had things to do. As she stepped through the doorway into the hall, she stopped dead in her tracks with her mouth wide open. Standing before her was James, the man who had been haunting her for some time. his lightly coiffed hair, which had escaped someone’s notice, gave him a bad-boy look. she felt like a young teenager who’d just been addressed by the popular boy at school, her breath caught as her heart pounded in her chest. he was fiddling with his phone, which meant he hadn’t seen her at all. when James looked up, he thought he saw the goddess of beauty before him. She was a knockout, and her dress perfectly outlined the cubes of her body. he had only one thought at that moment, to capture her and make her his for the whole night without ever resting. but the gleam in her eyes wasn’t what he’d expected to see. she was a little sad and he wanted to know why. he placed a light kiss on her cheek even though he would have liked to kiss her pink lips. Maggie had just confirmed that he didn’t want her, otherwise he’d have kissed her on the lips, not the cheek. She fell into her friend’s arms, crying, which Olivia didn’t understand at all.

-What’s going on, Maggie?

-I was wrong to think I had a chance with him, you know. He doesn’t love me or he’d never have kissed me on the cheek. What was I thinking? I’m such an idiot, you should always remind me of that, please. I told you, he’s found another one. I don’t want to stay here anymore, I’m going to leave, you know.

-You can’t do that Maggie, we planned all this together and even if it’s not him, you can have your chance tonight so please stay with me. If you leave, I’ll leave too and you’ll have some explaining to do to Damon.

Maggie nodded. She wasn’t going to let her friend down because of this shoddy man who had made her dream, but after all she didn’t regret the night she’d spent with him. it had been the most wonderful night of her life.
