Naton Corp was a hive of activity. Elle was bringing in contracts up to the
wazoo and people were beginning to talk.
"Babe, do we have any meetings today?" Nate asked from the shower. Elle
had given up her apartment and totally moved in with Nate. Against her
brother's advice but she was in love and would not change her mind.
"I have four meetings honey, three potential clients and one service provider.
I can reschedule if you like."
"No, don't bother." Nate was upset. He hooked up his harness and began
to bathe. He felt warm arms wrap around his waist and a soft kiss landed in
the middle of his back.
"Let me call and have Kim reschedule, don't be mad with me."
Nate turned and looked at the woman he loved. His face was unreadable.
"You work too hard Elle; I feel like I pushed you into this role and now…" His
voice trailed off and he looked up to the ceiling. He had regrets, he knew
she was talented, gifted by the way she dealt with work and people. He was
jealous of his own company. How stupid was that?
"Nate, talk to me, this isn't like you." She wrapped her arms around him
tighter as the water sprayed from behind him.
"I'm being stupid and needy Elle. You are a fantastic VP and I love you more
and more every day because of the dedication you have shown to my
company."
"Then what's wrong?"
"You are always busy now. I feel like I'm losing you to your job."
Elle gasped and let him go. Nate frowned.
"I'll cut back, hire two assistants and spend more time with you, is that
suitable?" Elle said with a strained tone.
"No, it's not what I want!" Nate turned around and tried to finish his shower.
"Then Nate, tell me what is really bothering you."
"We haven't made love in weeks, are you tired of me already?"
"Oh Nate." Elle put her hand to her chest which suddenly began to hurt. She
walked around in front of him and looked into his eyes. She raised her hands
and held his face in them.
"I love you Nate and if you are having doubts about us, tell me as soon as
you have them, and let us work it out, that's what we promised each other."
"It's hard for me to admit shit to you Elle."
"Do I make it hard for you?" Elle giggled at her words.
"Yes, you do and stop that I'm being serious here." He grew hard at her
words.
"Sorry. Nate, I will cut back my workload and the reason we haven't made
love is because I was tired, due to work obviously. I have one project to
finish up and then I am all yours until next week."
"You make me feel vulnerable Elle." Nate said in a moody voice.
"I don't care, you can be strong, silly, like a lion or an eagle or a mouse with
me. I love you."
Elle's hands roamed his body. She loved touching him; his back was strong
and his muscles were well defined. His hair was soft to the touch and many
times she gripped it when he was giving her orgasms.
"Can you go in late to work?" Asked Nate as he dried himself off.
"My first meeting is 10:30, so yes."
"I need you." Nate's voice was husky.
Elle, looked at him and smile.
"I'm all yours."
He made love to her as if he would never see her again.
At the office that morning, Nate was sitting behind his desk signing some
contracts. He felt himself harden as a memory flooded his thoughts.
They were working on some proposals and all of a sudden, Nate took one
look at Elle and hardened to the point of pain.
"Nate?"
"Elle."
"What's wrong?"
"I've missed you today."
"Is that right? Well then, my love, show me how much you miss me."
"Go lock the door Elle." Nate said as his eyes turned dark.
Elle did as he commanded and when she returned to him, he reached out
his hand and spun her to face away from him.
"I have been thinking about this all day. Watching you in the board room,
knowing that everything under this suit has been touched by only me."
"You sure about that?" Elle teased as Nate ran his hands from her legs to
her waist.
"Playing brave, are we?" Nate pushed her skirt over her ass and yanked her
panties down. Elle gasped at his roughness.
"I need you so bad Elle; I feel like I'm gonna go mad if I don't have you. Will
you let me?"
"You are taking too long, I have a meeting to get to." She teased some more.
She didn't know Nate was already stroking himself, he pushed her to bend
over and squeeze her legs together. Then, he pulled her back on to him in
one smooth motion and entered her, all the way in.
"Nate." She almost yelled out his name.
"Shhhhh baby."
"I… oh God." Nate wrapped his arms around her waist and began to move.
"Tell me how good it feels baby."
"I don't know." She whispered.
"So I can stop then?" Nate teased but when she clenched around him he
had to grit his teeth not to finish quickly.
"I love you do you know that?" Nate asked as he pushed up into her.
"Yes, I know." She responded.
"Who is your meeting with today?" Nate asked as he kept moving inside her.
Elle froze. Oh no.
"Torien Branch." She whispered and waited for the green monster.
Nate held her against his chest and his body trembled.
"Nate." She whispered.
"Be quiet."
Nate was angry.
"I love you Elle, please don't leave me."
Elle tried to get away from him.
"You don't want me anymore?" Nate asked.
"Not when jealousy is the focal point of our love making. You want me to
smell like you when I go to the meeting so Torien will know we were together.
God what is wrong with you?" Elle moved completely away from him and
fixed her clothes.
"I don't get it, is it the men you don't trust or is it me?"
Nate remained silent.
Elle gasped turned and left without another word. She headed to her office
but before she could get there, her assistant told her Mr Branch was in her
office waiting. Crap, she didn't have time to clean herself up. Nate knew
this would happen. Damn him!
Elle gracefully walked into her office and greeted Torien but when he got up
to shake her hand, she politely refused.
"It's okay Mr. Branch, take your seat. Now what can I do for you?"
Torien looked at her in a weird all-knowing way.
"What's wrong?"
"That man of yours is interesting."
"I'm sorry but we are not here to discuss my relationship." Elle was
immediately frustrated.
"I find it disturbing that Nate would do such a thing just to prove a point. Well,
point taken."
"What are you talking about?"
"Nate knows I am never late, our appointment was scheduled for 9am, you
strolled in here at 9:10. He knew I would be waiting. Well well."
"Whatever is going on between you two leave me out of it."
"Well that's kind of impossible when I mentioned that I was interested in
asking you out. It was only then he allowed me to know that you my dear
are his woman and it will never happen."
Elle groaned. She could not believe how petty men become when they are
jealous.
"I'm sorry Mr. Branch but yes Nate is my fiancé, so there will be nothing
between you and I."
"I can smell him all over you, so he has proven his point. Enough said. Tell
him I want the software in a month, I will pay the full amount if delivered on
time. Have a good day."
Elle stared at the door as Torien closed it. She could not believe the man
she was involved with. She decided she didn't want to see him for the rest
of the day, she packed up her bag, left the office and headed home.
