Chereads / Tainted Wolfe / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Golf Day

Laughs and cockiness, games and drinks, money and girls. This was all it was during this game. And as I stared far away at my brother. I couldn't help but realize how different he was. This was his element. This was his world.

I recognized Gerald Fitz next to him but three others that I didn't know. And as I walked closer I couldn't help but realize again that most men turned their attention to me. Some even had their women close to them, laughing and flirting but still.

When I drew closer, I stopped dead in my tracks. One men next to my brother turned around and I recognize him. The same man that made my heart excited so much I had to breath faster. He was laughing... This was the second time I saw him show his teeth. And this time it was weird, like almost forced.

_____________

After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, Mary walked closer and reached the men.

"So who's ass am I going to kick today?" She threw, with a cocky smile as she stood near her brother who was already grinning and bending to kiss her cheek.

The men laughed, Gerald smiled, the two others stared with obvious interest at her tanned legs showed off by her short golf skirt. She extended a hand to everyone and then when it was Andrew's turn, he stared. She hesitated a long time, before, in a general surprise he took it, pulled her close and kissed her cheek.

Shocked she turned to face him, mistake. Now they were nose to nose, and she could almost feel his breath on her lips.

"Pleasure seeing you again Mary." He said, his eyes holding hers, a smirk planted on his face.

He let her go and turned around.

"I guess it's my turn now."

He started hitting the balls with the appreciation of the two elder men.

And while they were at it she turned to her brother who didn't miss any of it.

"Something happened between you two?" He asked, his brows drawn together.

She rolled her eyes and started looking through her golf clubs.

"He gave me my purse and that's it."

She looked up, and he didn't look convinced, so she sighed.

"And why is he here? You said it was Xavier who you did business with" She said low.

He stood close.

"That's the thing... he cancelled at the last moment, and Andrew show up. Something's up... and I don't think I like it..."

"Why? It doesn't matter right?"

"It actually doesn't. Xavier actually isn't the one working all the success he's getting Mary... all of it it's Andrew's doing..."

She looked up to him in surprise.

"Didn't you tell me they hate each other?"

"Yeah But there might be a reason why they are working together, and why all the credit goes to Xavier..."

"And why do you not like it?"

"Because Mary, Xavier might not be terrible... but Andrew is freaking good. And that's coming from me. He is a terrible enemy... it would be better if Xavier took care of the whole business and when he inherits he'll probably ruin it if he's alone... Andrew won't be that stupid though. If he's the one who gets it, forget about the whole plan... He won't let it happen."

"So he's that smart." She said as she turned her attention to him, he was done playing, one of the other investors was playing, but his eyes were on her. Going back and forth from her face, lips to her legs.

"Yeah... If you wanna make D.T lose a few millions you can try... but I know you can never ruin him. Not on Andrew's watch"

She smiled acidly, her gaze on Andrew.

"Watch me."

She walked up to him, as he was putting his golf clubs back in the set. He turned as he saw her coming, and she stopped before him.

"So, how long are going to check me out?" She said, looking up at him a brow arched up.

He smirked, wow, that was sexy. And then he walked closer.

"It doesn't seem to bother you." He said, his voice still so damn sexy.

"But you don't know that." She answered watching his teeth bite a smile.

"Oh, I know Mary."

"Really? And what do you know?" She asked, a sexy smirk on her lips.

"I know you like having my attention. I know you're curious about me, and I know I'll have you."

Wow, straight to the point. This man did not play around, and she liked it.

She smiled.

"Again, you don't know that. Maybe I'll be gone in a few days and you won't see me again"

His eyes went wide in surprise, but he held mocking eyes.

"But you're not. Your brother gave you a position in Anwolfe Holdings and, as a main shareholder you have to stay with him."

She looked up and bit her lip, that caught his attention, and now his eyes were flaming of lust. Oh God.

She looked away.

"You don't know that."

He then laughed, and put a hand on her small back, leading her to the investors.

"I know everything." He said rapidly before turning to the men.

"Gentlemen, how about we let the young lady show us what she can do? I recall very clearly someone saying she would be "kicking someone's ass today" I look forward to seeing that, what do you say?" His voice was formal, but clear he was defying her in front of them. And oh boy did she love it, she loved proving people wrong.

So she passed through, braced herself in position. Making sure to shake her thighs a little just to spite him, because she knew he would be staring. And go!

"Where did you learn to play like that" Gerald asked as they all sat in front of a dining table.

Her brother answered for her.

"This young lady, gentlemen, was a US kids Golf champion at 15. Another thing I'm proud about my sister, she is good at any sport." He added with a tender smile.

"Actually soccer and basketball I never tried, so don't start speaking so highly of little ole' me!" She said in between sips of her wine and laughs.

The investors were clearly having a good time and Gerald made sure to make her understand that, her presence was the main reason. She made them loose, and her brother was smooth enough to suggest business plans, and new ideas at the right times so they considered it with true interest.

But even as she tried to relax she couldn't help but feel his gaze on her. She was sandwiched between him and her brother, each of them were facing an investor at their opposite.

At one point, she nearly jumped as she felt his hand on her thigh. Thankfully, no one noticed, everyone focused on the business part of the conversation, while he was holding her gaze shamelessly.

"What are you doing." She asked, in a really low voice that only he could hear.

"What I want to be doing to you." He said, his voice in her left ear.

"What if I don't want you to?" She asked, as she drew her glass of whine closer to her lips, huge mistake. At that moment, she felt his hand slide up dangerously, and nearly choked, coughing loudly.

"You okay?" He fake asked her, a hand on her back patting her, and that got the attention of her brother.

"Hey, you okay?" He asked, handing her a tissue

"I'm okay Gale, let me go to the bathroom real quick."

She got up and rounded the table while they went back to their conversation.

This man was awful... God.. awfully good, she had almost moaned and thank God for the wine in her throat. She would have embarrassed herself. What was he thinking...

She reached the bathroom and spit. Still coughing, and as she faced the mirror in front of her she realized she was flushed.

This had to stop. She didn't know in what way Gale had meant it, but yeah, she could see he was indeed dangerous. Dangerous to her plans. Dangerous. That was a big no.

She walked out, to stop abruptly, finding him in the corridor. She rolled her eyes and he walked close.

"You need to stop your games." She said looking away

"Why?" He asked, even closer.

"Because I don't like it." She lied

He chuckled, he really chuckled. So she looked up, annoyed.

"What's freaking funny?" She asked shooting him a glare.

"You."

She was about to add something when he silenced her. A hand on her chin, lifting her face up. He was studying her face, his eyes shooting flames at her lips. And when she thought he was going to kiss her. He chuckled again. She looked up to find him defying her.

"Fine." He said

"I'll leave you alone pretty girl" He said before stepping back with a dark look, and finished with a smirk.

"I'll see you around then."

After that, he left. Apparently the deal went well with Gale, because when she came back, they were making plans to meet later that day. Gale looked glad. When they left, he told her about how they were now very tied with Trefford Inc because of some business going on.

They would be working together for a short while before going separately again. This explained Andrew's presence. And, even though he had said they would see each other around every week. After she blew him off, she didn't see him again.

She knew he was meeting with her brother, because, at times he would mention meetings with him. So it was obvious he was avoiding her.

Hell, a two months went by, and during all the business Golf session, which her brother insisted in her being and all time presence, he didn't show up.

So then it drove her insane. And it annoyed her how much she was affected by that. She got wind in a few events that he was seen photographed with multiple women in the last weeks. This was blowing her mind. The man was actually known for being a bachelor that loved women. How infuriating.

Tonight was an important night for Gale, he had signed a deal two years ago that was finally finalized, the company gained again a load of money from the deal, so many investors and businessmen were happy and in the mood to celebrate.

She walked in the elevator and thanked her bodyguard for letting her go first. He followed and pressed the button.

"Are you coming in with me?" She asked

"No Miss, I will be guarding the entrance, if you need me you just call."

She smiled at him before walking out.

It had been a frenzy when the media discovered that she was a 21 year old millionaire that owned heavy worth stocks. And accented with who her brother was, everyone wanted to know about her.

Everything was released about her, her golf championship, her high school records, her two ex-boyfriends who were now trying to gain some attention from all of this.

But she didn't care. She had nothing to hide. Even when reports were released again about her father and his scandal she couldn't care less. It was done, and fixed. Gale made them 10 times richer and so it didn't matter. He would be proud.

"Miss Wolfe." A man said as he led her into the crowded hall where her brother was already talking to different ladies.

She stopped and grinned. She never actually saw him with a woman. And this looked so damn weird. He looked comfortable, teasing and flirty. This sneaky guy. And as she was smiling, walking towards him. She stopped abruptly again.

He was here.

2 months without seeing him... and here he was, a lady on his arm. Laughing and drinking. He had a hand on her thigh. While the woman looked up to him with stars in her eyes.

Oh this party was going to be fun.

She suddenly felt glad to have worn the dress she did. It was a black dress, naked shoulders showing off her rich chest. She had worn a single diamond necklace. Her bob was curled at the ends and her make up was nude. Her tanned legs were out again and she had worn black heels. She knew she looked good because the attention again was on her as she strode to reach her brother.

And when she did, he smirked.

"You went all in today. Tryna steal my spotlight?" He said before hugging her.

"No way, I would never" she joked with a dramatic hand on her chest.

He turned her to the ladies who were already eyeing her with obvious jealousy.

"This is my sister, Marilyn Wolfe." He said. And as quick, their demeanor changed, they were overly excited and suddenly too familiar.

"I love your necklace, where did you buy it?"

"You should ask Gale, he knows everything about it, he bought me the collection." She said

And right back was the envy.

"Marilyn." His voice came behind her, making her tense. She didn't even turn around.

He put a hand on her shoulder while leaning in for a peck on the cheek but to hell that. She stepped back making it clear she wasn't having it, and he smirked.

"It's been long." He said as his lady was studying her reaction as if she should be jealous or friendly.

"Yeah, and I spent all that time having a good time." She said sarcastically.

"Wolfe". He greeted her brother who merely nodded.

"I was coming to ask if I could speak to you?" He asked and she glared at him.

Him and her, alone. It was simply not happening.

"I'm busy."

"As we all are" he countered

"Yeah you definitely are with your..."

She shrugged a hand to the lady.

"Guest" She finished "So go along, Andrew I don't have anything to say to you."

She turned to her brother, who eyed her curiously before walking away from them.

That was how the whole night went. She avoided him, he kept smirking and mocking her but she didn't care.

And when a handsome man walked up to her, and started making her laugh in between conversations, she could feel his eyes.

At one point, in between a laugh, she caught him glaring at the man. His eyes cold, and his jaw clenched, and, victory never felt so good.

She entertained the gentleman's flirting, laughing and even putting a hand on his shoulder everytime she was laughing.

He felt good. He was buying all of it, while frankly, she didn't care the slightest about what he was saying. This made her feel like a bitch but, annoyingly all her attention was on Andrew. It was very obvious he was a jealous man. And even though he had a date tonight he couldn't help but show his distaste for her new friendship.

At one point, she excused herself from the crowd, looking for a balcony where she could take some air. This was a need of her everytime she was tipsy. It always felt good. She found one upstairs. There was a man there smoking and when he saw her he stopped and smiled at her, she smiled back.

"Sorry, just needed some air, you don't have to stop because of me."

"Uh... Actually yeah I do, it's not a good idea to mix nicotine with your oxygen if you just need a breath. Enjoy" he said with a smile before walking away.

Then she heard her phone ring.

"Yeah Gale?"

"Don't tell me you're with Nathanael?"

"Who's that?"

"The prick you've been flirting with all night Mary, he has a fiancé."

She sighed, that was something people were going to talk about...

"Oh shit... I didn't know." She said suddenly feeling anxious.

"Well be glad this was a closed celebration. If the press was here..."

"I know Gale... just forget that, he's not with me. I'm upstairs getting some air. Alone."

"Why? You okay?"

"Yeah papa bear, I'm just still not used to all these hours long events." She said in a chuckle.

He chuckled back and hung up.

"I didn't think you were that kind of girl." A voice said behind her, and she knew damn well who it was.

"What do you want Andrew." She bit, annoyed he had found her.

Suddenly she felt his hands on her thighs. She was about to protest when he turned her around

"What the fuck are you doing!" She shouted, angry at her own body for liking this.

His eyes were cold, angry, hungry, an ocean of emotions she couldn't clearly point out. His mouth was tight.

"Nathanael huh?" He noted, his voice low but clearly sarcastic.

"Why do you care? Let me go." She ordered while trying to push through, but he held her in place, hands still on her thighs.

"Did you fuck him?" He suddenly asked.

And she felt anger burst out of nowhere.

"And what if I have !? You let me leave right this instant or-

He suddenly stepped back in a loud curse. Clearly, he did not deal well with jealousy.

"You fucked him." He repeated more to himself.

She stared in awe, as he ran fingers through his perfectly laid hair,

"I met him tonight... Nothing happened." She heard herself say.

And the next minute he was in her face, his hands holding her face in place as he stared straight through her soul.

"Say it again." He ordered

And she sighed

"Nothing hap-

The words left her mouth as he took it in a fierce kiss. God, she felt herself stumble back but he held her and brought her closer.

She moaned and her mouth fell open, he immediately took in the invitation and dug his tongue in to find hers.

He stroked it, again, again and again and finally she responded. Hands behind his head, drawing him closer, moaning as he fucked her tongue.

His hands running the length of her body. The kiss was long, hungry, naughty. God he was so good. He was an insanely talented kisser. So she felt defied to prove herself up to the task too.

She brought him even closer, ran her tongue through his lips, intertwined her tongue with his and scratched the skin of his neck.

He reacted immediately. Groaning and pressing himself closer so she could feel the hardness in his pants, and she lost it.

She moaned his name. He groaned again and as his hands were stroking her ass, he drew back.

"Come home with me." He asked. It was more like an order. A tempting order. She looked up to him, stared at his swollen lips and thought.

She knew in her gut this was a bad idea. All of it, up to the plan she had concocted for his father. But she could care less, so why not go home with him tonight?

She knew why, because he was dangerous. This man was the promise of the fuck of the century. He was insanely good and his body had that aura, he was built for it.

And even though it had been a good long year since she had sex. She needed to stay in control with him. Always.

She smirked. Tipped up and kissed him again, bit his lips, ran her nose the long of his cheek, to his neck and sucked it. Hard. Hard enough to leave a mark. And she was done. She drew back. Looking at the redness she caused on his neck, proud.

"You will have to work it hard to have me, Andrew. I'm not an easy woman."

He looked surprised for a second. She was blowing him off again. When she was near the door, almost inside she heard him.

"I'm not a patient man Wolfe."

"Well that's too bad." She said before walking back in.
