Cory came out glancing around perplexed when he stared emotionless at us while closing the door. Yet for whatever reason, I felt more solace with him here. Upon detecting me he soften his eyes and came right over and pulled me into his grasp so delicately around my mid-back.
Cory asked sweetly yet genuinely concerned. "Hey, what's going on? You look so stressed out and your up so earlier."
Aaron answered catching Cory up. "I scared her when I open the door. She claims to have heard a woman screaming behind it and thinks we had something to do with it and it spooked her. Then Pete and Justin ran in to see what was going on and ended up furthermore scaring her."
As Cory sorta nods is when JJ added. "I feel she is under stress causing her to hear things. Or Aaron mentioned, it could have been the kids outside playing."
"But I swear I heard a woman screaming in pain!" I said feeling teary-eyed but I held it back. "It sounds like your hurting somebody."
Cory stroked my face and kissed my forehead softly and then said. "Sally, relax. Only this one time, I'll show you what's behind the door and prove to you we are doing no such thing. But it will only be once since I don't allow women including you, in this room. It's my private working area for myself and my men. I explained this to you the other night's dim light."
I gestured to understand as he looked at Justin and Pete behind me. "Thanks for coming to aid her. You guys can go be with your wives."
"No problem," Pete said as he left the room with Justin.
Cory cased a charming smile at me saying, "well, my sweets allow me to show you."
I nod as he took my hand and led me to the door. Once opened, I saw it was a semi-narrow dim lit staircase hallway that was pretty creepy in my opinion. When reaching the bottom, it opened out into this massive meeting room. The walls were dark red and the floor was a dark marble tan. In the center was this huge round metallic Grecian gold-colored table and seats. Jay, Nick, Mike, Matt, and a lot of men I haven't yet met but have seen around here a good deal of times are sitting at it. They each had a pleasant flicker in their eyes seeing me come in with Cory.
I looked around not seeing anything else in the room. Honestly, this room was bare for a meeting room. Cory didn't even have any decorative pieces out on display and even the walls were naked. Cory's meeting room was rather boring to look at, I thought.
By steering my eyes around I had been mistaken. Upon seeing it for myself I was bewildered that there aren't any women present.
Cory said to his men taking me out of my thoughts."Just a small postponement to the meeting. Sally was hearing a woman screaming down here." He faced me having a truly soft half-smile. "And as you see Sally, it's only us guys in here."
"I honestly thought I heard a woman screaming inside here," I mumbled still veering my eyes about on the dull walls.
Not even one picture was hung and I even cycled the walls to see if I spotted any hidden buttons to reveal a hidden room. As Cory and the men watched me scan around walking, investigating. The walls were just plain ordinary walls.
'Am I losing my mind?' I asked in my head to think maybe I am losing it.
Mike asked concerned seating at the table, "Sally, are you alright do you need to talk about anything?"
But I didn't answer him as Cory said coming up to me, "as you can see it's only a plain old boring meeting room."
"I'm so confused," I scarcely whispered. "What's wrong with me?"
Hearing me Cory takes me into arms when I realized I had mistakenly spoken too loud and was heard.
"Nothing, of course," he said brushing his fingers into my hair. "It's just stress like JJ said. You're dealing with too much. This is all pre-wedding butterflies like most of us have been telling you."
"It sounds like it. The closest thing we have to a woman in here is Mike." Nick joked with his body already turned around across from where Cory and I stood.
Everyone chuckled but me.
Mike laughed across the table from Nick. "I don't know about that, Nick." He teased, "you're the only one with the pretty blonde hair and baby blue eyes."
All the men laughed harder.
"Shut up, Mike!" That was all Nick could chortle out.
Still having me in his arms, Cory chuckled out teasingly. "Maybe your right. I am just working with a bunch of womanly men."
Everyone laughed harder while Cory saw I still wasn't amused for the least.
Cory brushed my hair gently behind my ears by using his fingertips and said. "Hey, relax this isn't anything to stress about. It's still early you should go back to bed."
I shook my head no and slide Cory's hand away from playing with my hair and got out of his grasp. "I'm not tired."
"Have you eaten anything once you woke up?" asked JJ standing across from us next to Aaron.
"No, I am not hungry," I answered turning my head some.
"Sally, I notice you don't ever eat much or at all," said Cory in a concerning voice.
"Because I was never offered much food," I told them.
"Well, even though we don't need to eat or drink much. It's still important to do. It can help give you an energy boost. It can even benefit your mood. It's very healthy for women to eat more since they carry children. It can help increase pregnancy conception during the moon phase and help during pregnancy." JJ claimed.
Cory nodded in agreement, "this is why your old masters didn't allow you to eat much. Since it gave them a benefit to controlling you by giving you lower energy."
I only nod keeping quiet.
"How about this." JJ began asking, "why don't I go take you to the kitchen and make you some food? Will see how you feel after that."
"I think that is a good idea," Cory said and asked me. "What do you say, Sally?"
"I could try," I murmured.
"Thank you," Cory acclaimed and informed. "Once my meeting is done, I have something fun planned."
"What sorta fun do you have planned?" I raised a brow asking.
"It's a surprise," he said winking.
I tried not to blush and said. "Ok, I'm sorry I accused you all of hurting a woman. I guess I must be more stressed than I thought."
Cory pulled me into his arms for a big heartwarming hug and said softly. "It's understandable but you're safe with us and everything is fine. I've already told you, that I will always be here for you."
Feeling his vast sexy masculine body against mine. Made me melt into a puddle. I evaporated when he kisses my temple! My body temperature rose as he slowly let me go. I felt hazy as JJ noticed and took my wrist to follow him upstairs. Yet as I did my heartfelt achy from leaving Cory. What is seriously wrong with me today!
