Dalton Corp was a hive of activity. Maddy was bringing in contracts up to the wazoo and people were beginning to talk.
"Babe, do we have any meetings today?" Philip asked from the shower. Maddy had given up her apartment and totally moved in with Philip. 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." Philip 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 Kira reschedule, don't be mad with me."
Philip turned and looked at the woman he loved. His face was unreadable. "You work too hard Maddy; 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?
"Philip, 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 Maddy. 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." Maddy gasped and let him go. Philip frowned.
"I'll cut back, hire two assistants and spend more time with you, is that suitable?" Maddy said with a strained tone. "No, it's not what I want!"
Philip turned around and tried to finish his shower. "Then Philip, tell me what is really bothering you." "We haven't made love in weeks, are you tired of me already?"
"Oh Philip." Maddy 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 Philip 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 Maddy."
"Do I make it hard for you?" Maddy giggled at her words.
"Yes, you do and stop that I'm being serious here." He grew hard at her words.
"Sorry. Philip, 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 Maddy."
Philip 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."
Maddy'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 Philip as he dried himself off. "My first meeting is 11:30, so yes."
"I need you." Philip's voice was husky. Maddy, 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, Philip 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, Philip took one look at Maddy and hardened to the point of pain.
"Philip?" "Maddy." "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 Maddy." Philip said as his eyes turned dark.
Maddy 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?" Maddy teased as Philip ran his hands from her legs to her waist.
"Playing brave, are we?" Philip pushed her skirt over her ass and yanked her panties down. Maddy gasped at his roughness.
"I need you so bad Maddy; 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 Philip 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.
"Philip." She almost yelled out his name. "Shhhhh baby."
"I… oh God." Philip 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?" Philip teased but when she clenched around him, he had to grit his teeth not to finish quickly.
"I love you do you know that?" Philip asked as he pushed up into her. "Yes, I know." She responded.
"Who is your meeting with today?" Philip asked as he kept moving inside her. Maddy froze. Oh no.
"Torien Steven." She whispered and waited for the green monster. Philip held her against his chest and his body trembled.
"Philip." She whispered. "Be quiet." Philip was angry.
"I love you Maddy, please don't leave me." Maddy tried to get away from him.
"You don't want me anymore?" Philip 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?" Maddy 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?" Philip remained silent.
Maddy gasped turned and left without another word. She headed to her office but before she could get there, her assistant told her Mr. Steven was in her office waiting. Crap, she didn't have time to clean herself up. Philip knew this would happen. Damn him!
Maddy gracefully walked into her office and greeted Torien but when he got up to shake her hand, she politely refused. "It's okay Mr. Steven, 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." Maddy was immediately frustrated.
"I find it disturbing that Philip would do such a thing just to prove a point. Well, point taken." "What are you talking about?"
"Philip 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."
Maddy groaned. She could not believe how petty men become when they are jealous.
"I'm sorry Mr. Steven but yes Philip 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."
Maddy 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.
