Leo was outside Bain's ' work area' . If he was to be completely honest , it looked nothing like a gangster's den. It looked more like a mansion. It had majestic black and gold gates. It was grand and painted black and gave off an air of authority. Leo drove in and parked his car among the many lined up in the giant compound. The place was quiet on the outside but as soon as Leo walked through the front door, his ears almost went numb from the noise. There was music playing and the mansion was filled with people. Some were getting high , others were playing cards and drinking while others were checking out weapons. Leo squinted through the smoke in the air and noticed Bain seated in the backyard next to the pool. He was smoking and was deep in thought. He glanced at Leo before turning his attention back to his cigarette. Leo dragged a chair and sat besides him.
" If you're looking for Gwen , she's not here. " Bain smiled wearily. He had eye bags and it looked like he didn't get much sleep. " She's with her boyfriend."
Leo didn't know how to hide the anger on his face and Bain noticed. He chuckled.
" Jealous?" Bain handed Leo a cigarette and a lighter. Leo lit it and inhaled the smoke. He leaned back in the chair and sighed. He closed his eyes for a moment and opened them again. " Im a mess , aren't I ? "
Bain looked at the dejected lover next to him. They didn't have a special relationship as such but Bain didn't hate him or like him. He was just one of Gwen's friends , that was all.
" I think you should try your love elsewhere. " Bain's expression became serious. " Gwen's falling in love. " Bain couldn't hide the worry.
" It seems you're not happy with that."
" I'm just...worried." He looked at Leo. " I don't trust him."
" Good morning , sir. " A security guard with a beaming smile greeted Alec. His smile turned into a confused frown when he spotted messy Gwen hiding behind Alec.
" Good morning." Alec nodded and led Gwen to the elevator by hand. Gwen felt like being swallowed whole by the ground. She just wished she could vanish into thin air. There were nearly fifty pairs of eyes glued to her and she'd never felt so hideous.
" Alec ! " She yelled once they'd gotten into the elevator. " I'll never forgive you for this!" Her face was flushed and her eyes wide. Alec just laughed.
" You have no idea how hot you look right now. " he pulled her into his arms.
" Are you making fun of me right now?" Gwen frowned and tried to pull away but Alec brought her face to his.
" There are better things I could do to you than making fun of you. " His lips landed on hers and in one swoop he lifted her feet off the ground . Her arms were around his neck and her legs were wrapped around his waist. Her back was on the elevator walls .
" Someone might come in." Gwen tried to argue but Alec didn't let her. He kissed her again and drained the air right out of her. His tongue met hers and they played tag . Small moans escape Gwen and suddenly the elevator felt like an oven. She was burning up.
As Alec's hands found their way into the sweater she was wearing , she gasped when his hands touched her mountains. She held his hair and laid her head back to give him way to her neck which he immediately kissed . He left an electric sensation everywhere his lips lingered .
" Can we do it here? I don't think I can make it to my office." Alec muttered as he kissed her. Gwen's heart was pounding. She wanted to say no but she wasn't sure she wanted him to stop.
" A...Alec." She was speaking when the elevator door started to open. Gwen didn't know how she did it but in no time she ripped herself off of Alec and was standing at a safe distance from him. Alec was frankly shocked because he'd never seen anyone move so fast. He looked at her flushed face as he tried to keep his own straight.
" Good morning , Alec. " A middle aged man in a suit walked in . He smiled at Alec before his eyes landed on Gwen. She felt like melting under his stare. Atleast she'd had her hair combed before but now it was a hot mess because of Alec. " Good morning... miss."
" Hi." Gwen waved weirdly as she tried to comb through her hair with her fingers.
"..."
Alec coughed . " Mr. Foxx , this is my girlfriend. " Alec held her hand . " Gwen."
Mr.Foxx didn't say anything. He just
smiled and they started talking about business and Gwen felt like the elevator took forever to open. When they'd reached the 20th floor , the doors started to open and Gwen was the first to rush out. She didn't know where she was going but she just needed to find a secluded place. She was stomping off when Alec held her hand .
" My office is this way. Did you forget?" He led her to his office.
Gwen just sat there next to the window and watched him work. It was almost like he was in his own universe. Gwen wondered what it was like sitting at a desk for hours on the same freaking chair every single day for 365 days! She didn't like being restricted and that's why If she ever got a real job , she wanted to open an art gallery and also do some fashion designing. She really loved to draw and design things. If fact she'd designed all the furniture in their home and she was the mastermind behind all the paintings too.
" Let's go out for lunch? You need to eat well for your meds to work."Alec was standing in front of her. She hadn't even noticed him moving from his desk.
" It's just 12:30." Gwen put the cup of coffee in her hands down. " And there's no way I'm walking out of here in these clothes . "
Just then there was a knock on the door and Alec's secretary came in with a bag , gave it to Alec and left.
" I asked Sofie to get you some clothes. " He handed her the bag. " But , I genuinely prefer you in my clothes." Alec messed her hair with his hands and Gwen pushed his hand away.
" I've never been this disrespected before. " Gwen poked his cheek but he held her hand and kissed it. Gwen closed her eyes when his cold lips touched her skin. " Stop it."
" I haven't started yet." Alec bit her finger and Gwen bit her lip. She was losing herself.
" I need to get...changed." Gwen shivered as his lips found hers. He dove deep into her mouth and held the back of her head and guided her pace and they they were moving in sync. Gwen found herself seated on his desk as Alec's hands tried to get her out of his sweater.
" Alec...stop..." She moaned as she gasped for air but Alec's ship had already sailed. He wasn't listening to anything else except the dirty thoughts in his head. When she was only in a bra , Alec's thoughts only got dirtier when he saw her cleavage. He swallowed as his hands undid her bra. He was hard ...very hard. He kissed her fully but was distracted by her growling stomach. He looked at Gwen who was shyly looking away.
" Let's get you fed first."
