Philip was sitting in his office looking at Maddison's Resume. He had been working late and needed a drink, food and the company of his woman. He called for Andre and went home instead. He had made a decision and knew it would be the best one he ever made when it came to a woman.His divorce was swift, he had Mike escorted out of the company by security. Philip had arranged a final meeting with Mike the next morning and told him he would forfeit his shares and all he would get was five million for them. "WHAT?" I built this company up with you! After your accident I kept things here working to perfection and now because you can't satisfy your wife, it's MY fault?" Mike yelled angrily while walking towards Philip. "Take one more step and you won't like it Mike.Take the money and leave, you are no longer welcome here." Philip's voice was laden with malice as he rested his hand on the door of his drawer.Mike knew his brother was quick and he would never get to him in time. "I didn't mean to hurt you Philip." Mike lowered his head. "That's the thing Mike, you are my brother,of all the people in this world, we share the same blood but you sleep with my wife. Did it not matter that she was mine? You hurt me Mike, I have feelings, I am not this wheelchair. I am the brother who took care of you when our father abandoned us with a sick mother to care for. I sacrificed doing all the things a teenager does to make sure YOU, were fed and safe from the outside world. Think about your actions Mike, I mean think really hard. I don't care about her, I expected nothing from her but you? I never want to see you again. Now get out." Mike turned as a tear escaped from his eye.Everything he had worked towards was gone all because of a good romp between the sheets.Just then, Maddison strolled into the building. She was wearing a sexy navy-blue skirt suit that hugged every curve she had. Her long wavy hair was parted on the left and it shone in the sunlight streaming through the foyer of Dalton Corp.The receptionist looked up at the beautiful woman and flashed a wide smile. "Good morning miss, how can I help you?""I'm here to apply for a job. I have an appointment with Philip Kilian for 8:30am.""Give me a moment to confirm, and you are early, just have a seat and …" Just then Mike Kilian was being escorted out of the building and for some reason he glanced at Maddison. She flinched when she thought he might have recognized her from the bar, but she let out a sigh of relief when he looked away and kept walking."Sorry miss, it's been a busy morning. Have a seat and I will see if Mr. Kilian is ready for you.""Thank you." Maddison said as she turned and headed to the seat the lady pointed to.Daltton Corp was eloquently designed. The furnishings were equal to that of royalty, but you felt warm when you entered and had a feeling of peacefulness and calm.Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Philip peeked out. "Thanks Nora, I will take it from here. Maddison come with me." "No problem, Mr. Philip." Nora replied with a smile.Maddison followed Philip into the elevator and the moment the door closed he pulled on her hand. "Let me kiss you Maddison.""Oh Mr. Philip, you have to work for that." Maddison replied, imitating the bubbly Nora.Philip laughed loudly. He was on both sides of the fence with his feelings, he was glad and sad that she didn't give in so quickly.The elevator dinged and they went into his office. There was no one in sight. "Let me take you on a quick tour, you will be up here with me most of the time."Maddison's eyes widened as Philip spoke."Um, Philip, you told me to apply for a job, what's going on?""Why apply for something you are already qualified for? You know the boss, use me to get the job Maddison." Philip's tone was serious."Don't do this, let me go through the right channels.""Maddison, the position of Vice President has opened, and I am not in the mood to be sifting through hundreds of resumes when I have you right in front of me. The job is yours, hands down." Philip sounded angry as his face changed. Most women would jump at the opportunity he was giving her, but she was not only second guessing his decision but her own capabilities."Now, this is your office, next to mine of course, you have sitting, dining areas, private sleeping quarters in case you work late and don't want to drive home. No one is allowed up here but you and unless we give permission. All meetings are held on the second floor, we have catered lunch. I developed an app specifically for this company, I have over four thousand employees and I have a contract with a restaurant to cater to all our needs. Download it to your cell and order when you like, the service is 24hrs but you need to order at least half hr in advance so they can prepare. I was going to get a simple car for you to get you to and from the club but since you will beworking here, I'm upgrading your vehicle. You also have a private parking space underground; I will have everything setup for you by tomorrow.We have lots of benefits; insurance, pension, health, and they will be automatic for you as well. If there is anything you see lacking in the company, feel free to suggest it and we can discuss. You will be in charge of the Marketing department as well. The only person you answer to is me. You will be on a trial basis for three months at the end of that, if you can hack it, marketing for the clubs will fall under your direction as well.""When did you decide all of this?""The minute I looked at your resume… I am lucky to have you and that suit is wreaking havoc on me.""This is my premium suit; I don't wear it often.""Well then I must get more for you, you look ravishing." Maddison blushed."Sir, you better behave." "With you? Never.""Okay you bad boy, let me get affiliated with the company.""Nope, that is next week. We don't currently have any pressing projects and my staff already are working on other jobs. This week you will take the time to get everything in order, your wardrobe, car, benefits, expense account, travel documents everything, must be done this week, you will have an assistant, she is on the second floor with mine. I travel often, sometimes you will go with me, other times you will be in charge when I am gone.""Philip, this is a lot, how are you so trusting of me in just a few days?" Philip smiled."I saw my brother having sex with my wife, two people I knew, I trusted them. What's the point of trust when it is misplaced? Your job is to keep mycompany running smoothly, any issues, call me immediately, we will solve them together. Deal?"Maddison smiled at Philip warmly."Deal. Now you can have that kiss." Maddison said softly."Definitely." When Maddison leaned down to kiss Philip on the lips, he pulled her onto his lap."Philip, STOP!"Philip quickly felt embarrassed and allowed her to get up. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. It won't happen again.""Philip, I didn't tell you to stop because I was offended or scared, I said it because I didn't want to hurt you!""Hurt me?" Philip was confused."Yes, I'm too heavy to be sitting in your lap." She knew she wasn't a size two and being conscious of her weight, she stayed away from men. People could be cruel to others who don't fall into the norm. The insults she endured over the years, crushed her confidence unless she was on stage.Philip laughed out loud."Maddison. Come here." He held out his hand to her. "Philip…" She warned."Please, come here Maddison."Maddison inched over to Philip and when she stood in front of him, he turned her body and gently pulled her to sit on his lap and wrapped his arms around her."I'm not a weakling, tell me sitting on my lap doesn't feel good and I will never do it again." Philip's sexy voice rumbled in her ears."It feels good Philip.""Then understand that you won't hurt me in anyway unless you jump on me, okay?""Okay. Oh dear." Maddison whispered as she felt Philip's body respond to hers. "That's what you do to me Maddison, each time, you are near me, I get so hard I want to do things to you.""Give me time." "I know, I'm not pushing, just letting you know how I feel and how you my special lady make me feel. Now, kiss me."Maddison turned slightly and the moment she pressed her lips onto to Philip's, her resolve went up in smoke.Maddison felt sore all over. She felt a warm body next to her as she opened her eyes and took in her surroundings."Oh no." She whispered."Maddison? What's wrong?" Philip's voice sounded as he felt her stir. "What did we do Philip?" "We made love honey, don't second guess it, it was a wonderful thingbetween two people." "Will you look at me any different?Do I still have a job? You might think I slept with you for…" Maddison didn't get the last words out. Her body was once again covered with Philip's. He took her lips hard. His powerful arms holding his weight up. His erection poked at her entrance and in one swift movement, he claimed her once more. She winced as her body opened up to him. This man, gosh what was she going to do with him. She gave herself to him, going against everything she kept close to her heart. She was no longer a virgin. She wasn't even sure how she felt about it. She remembered every kiss, his touch, the loving words he whispered to her. No, she was glad it was him;he made the experience good for her and she felt herself fall madly in love with everything that he was."Oh God Philip!" Maddison shouted as she climaxed for the third time.Philip chuckled. She was his now, nothing would ever change that. He looked down at her body and he was hard again. He eased forward into her and felt her respond. "Maddy." Philip whispered. "Yes." She whispered."You are mine now. Don't ever let me hear you put down yourself. We made a decision, don't cheapen it by letting others' beliefs crowd your head. I have feelings for you and I will act on them. Trust that I will treat you like my queen. Never let anyone come between us. I choose you, then you chose me, nothing or no one else matters."Maddison looked into his eyes and a tear drifted down her cheek."Aww baby, don't." He eased away from her and rested back on the bed next to her. He pulled her to his side and brushed her hair from her cheek. "Your hair is beautiful.""Thank you, my mom is Southampton, and my dad Bellingham, they met on a cruise ship and by the time they got off, mum had a bun in the oven." Suddenly Maddison sat up. Oh no."It's okay, whatever comes we will deal with it." Realizing what she was upset about. "Are you sure? I'm feeling scared Philip, this is happening so fast.You will get tired of me, fire me and find some other girl to take my place.""I'm in a wheelchair Maddison, you could leave me for a man who can walk." Maddison sighed and turned to face him. Shaking her head."I'm not on the pill Philip, and well you know you are my first, what if I get pregnant?""Then we will get married, raise our child, and run Dalton Corp together. Does that sound so bad?""No but you make it sound like a walk in the park.""Maddison honey, stick with me, we can do so many positive things but you have to believe in us for this to work.""Okay, I will try."
