Pov - Noemi

---------------

He pushed me and I landed back on the bed. It suddenly reminded me of my first introduction to this place - The Red Room. I still remember his eyes when he saw me for the first time when I came here. They were full of anger, agitated and vengeful.

"Strip off."

His voice immediately pulled me off my thoughts. The dark hooded eyes seemed to be demanding. Starving. Striving. He didn't look livid this time but there was a strange kind of uneasiness in him that I could sense very clearly.

I jumped off the bed and took off my skirt first. I could not look at him. I felt intimated for not being able to resist his aura. My body was turned on the moment he touched me. It would be silly to deny it at this point because he knew it all. He knew all my switches and wires.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror and my skin had never looked so spotless and shiny.

My scars, no matter how frightening they were, seemed like the least of my worries at this moment. I was stripping off before Alvin Hartrich, who didn't look like he was about to crack a joke, but crack me open instead.

"Noemi, fast. Don't make me wait," he growled, his voice rushed.

I quickly removed all my clothes and sat on my knees on the bed just how he liked it. My palm rested lightly on the bedsheet while my face was tilted.

I waited for him to touch me.

I waited for his hands on my body. I waited for him to grab me by force and pin me against the wall. I waited for him to choke me down on the bed. I needed him to utter at least a word to break this everlasting silence. Something. Anything. But nothing came out of his lips.

My impatience was growing with each passing moment and his touch never came.

I finally looked up to meet his hazel green eyes. He hadn't moved an inch from his spot. He was just simply standing there and staring at me like a moon. Time stopped. Those eyes were piercing mine, and it seemed like he was trying to figure me out like a final guess, like a last piece of a puzzle.

"Gosh, you are beautiful," he uttered in a low voice, his face lost in a dreamy expression.

Not that I had never been complimented before, but the way he said that, gave a whole new meaning to the word. It touched something deep inside me. It ignited all the tiny pieces of my broken heart. There was a gleam of tears in my eyes that I managed to conceal and drink back.

Leaning forward, he lifted my chin and gazed into my eyes and then he kissed my lips ever so softly. That touch felt like a dream to me. It was one of those kisses that stays on your lips for a long time, yet doesn't last for long enough.

He tasted like cigarettes and liquor; it was dark yet sexy. If I have to explain the taste of his mouth in one word I would call it---addictive.

He kissed me again. This time, it was both soft and sensual. It was unlike any kiss we had shared till date. In a second his shirt was taken off followed by his pants. My fingers slipped on his rock-like chest unknowingly. It was like my body had a mind of its own. My heavy breath was only increasing as he kept savouring my mouth---nibbling on my lips and playing with my tongue with his own.

His large hands grabbed my tits and pinched them tightly in between his fingers. I moaned in his mouth and he turned his kiss into a rough demand. He bit on my lips and then on my neck and then all over my chest. Sucking on my tits, he fisted my hair and made me look into his eyes.

"Fuck, I want you so bad." He almost begged me with his eyes. "Now, let me check if you want me as bad as I want you." He glided down his fingers from my chest to my pussy and not to my surprise, it was slick wet. He smirked as his face shone in victory.

He quickly got rid off his bottoms. His erection was large and hard.

He threw me on the bed, while he knelt down between my legs on the bed and spread them out to place them on his thighs. Closing the distance between us, he placed his dick over my damp pussy. The shaft was sandwiched between the lips of my clit. That touch alone sent chills down my spine. My mind went crazy nuts.

He ran his fingers on both my thighs and then held me tight on my knees. Before I could engulf that sensation, he pulled my legs and pressed them together in the air. I moaned so loudly that my voice echoed in my ears. With his dick wrapped around my clit, I felt like I had experienced a mini orgasm which I had no idea existed.

He moved over me so slowly as if he had no hurry in the world. I moaned again. Fuck, I could not stop. The friction of his dick against my clit was building a pressure inside me that I feared I would release if he kept moving over me like that. His smug face told me he knew perfectly what he was up to. He was teasing me. He wanted to see me suffer more.

"Tell me what you want, Noemi," he humped his dick on my pussy so gently it made me cry, "Tell me."

He increased his pace. I fisted the bedsheet as I moaned louder this time. I knew I could not hold it back any longer. Fuck, I wanted him. I wanted him so much, it ached.

"Tell me, baby. Don't do it to yourself. I want to hear it from your mouth." He kept rubbing himself over me like a ruthless animal.

"Ah--I want you." I was barely able to whisper as my breath was caught up in my throat.

He placed his finger on my nub and rubbed it. "Sorry, what did you just say? I didn't hear." He smirked, his smile lopsided.

Bastard!

"I--Ah--I want you inside me." I moaned, louder this time.

He leaned forward while rubbing my clit harshly. He groaned in my ears as if demanding me to be loud and clear with my words.

My body arched like a rainbow as I screamed at the top of my voice, "Please, ah, no.. God dammit! I want you to fuck me right now." His grin widened for he got his second victory tonight.

In the next instant, his dick was shoved inside me. Our moans came simultaneously followed by his merciless thrusts. He didn't stop from then. Our eyes begged for more and more and more. Our breaths mixed in each other's breaths as if they had come from the same person. His dick hit spots inside me, making my body shiver for an impending pleasure. My pussy contracted around his dick. I wanted him so much.

Gosh!

My legs trembled as I came all over his dick. I was seeing stars in my head, feeling like the pleasure would never stop. May be I did not want it to stop. It was as if I had landed on the moon, wandered  space, and came back to earth with a loud bang.

He twisted me around and lied down alongside me. He kissed my shoulder and slightly put the head of his dick on my entrance. Caressing my lips with his fingers, he slithered his hand down to my slickness. It made me gasp and moan at the same time.

He whispered, "I missed you," under his breath, and licked his fingers slowly and put them back on my clit, adding, "So much, you have no idea."

Did he just confess to me that he missed me?

I was so stunned by his words that for a moment I would have forgotten his words thinking that it was only my imagination if he had not said what he said next.

"I missed you. Your smell. Your warmth. Your smile. Those eyes. I missed everything about you, Noemi. What have you done to me?"

And then he shoved his cock inside me, bringing his words to life, showing me exactly how much he really missed me.

And he didn't miss me less!

"Are you sure you can manage them until we join?" Luna asked me the same question for the thirteenth time, probably expecting to hear a different answer this time. "You know, they are an important client of ours."

While Alvin and the rest of the business partners were cracking a million dollar deal in another room, a new client from Paris suddenly showed up out of the blue. Although I was a firm believer in Alvin's godly prowess, I would be foolish to think that he could be in two different places at the same time.

Luna, being an obedient assistant that she was, would obviously be accompanying Alvin while she was expecting me to keep this other client occupied. Too bad she did not know I had zero knowledge of this industry and how the formal discussions were carried out.

"I mean, what can I say? I can only try my best," I replied reluctantly. Fuck! I hated it.

"Yeah, you're right. I think I'm going to get a heart attack right now." Luna cracked her knuckles in worry.

She walked back and forth, digging her fingernails on the scalp of her head, "Mr Alvin will kill me with his bare hands---um, but imagine, how it would feel like to have those long and rough fingers wrapped around my neck?" she blushed like a teen, "ugh, no, no," before slapping herself on the forehead and finally settling down on a chair. "My point is, he will kill both of us if anything goes wrong. So, now my life is in your hand, Noemi."

"Luna, I think you're overreacting. You know, Mr Silver will also be there with me, right?"

Mr Kazo Silver was the Managing Director of our company. He was quite skilled in his work and had years of experience in many different sectors. I had never met him in person, yet I had heard great things about his work and accomplishments l. I don't see why Luna was acting like the world was about to fall over her head.

"Yes, of course, Mr Silver---how can I forget about him? He is---he is great. I mean, why am I even worrying so much, right? Yeah, well, right," she spoke hurriedly.

"Um, yes, by the way how long will you guys be taking in that other meeting?"

"One to two hours is the estimated time," she looked up at me, her face creasing into a smile, "but don't worry, we'll try to wrap up things as soon as it's possible." She leaned forward on her table to grab her bag and some documents. "Good luck!" Her eyes twinkled with a hope that she won't be disappointed with me.

She spun on one heel and marched out with so much confidence as if she weren't the same woman who was freaking out like a maniac moments ago.

Back to the business, now all I knew about this new client was that they were three people; they were super important; they had a vast empire of more than ten thousand people working under them around the globe; their niche was shoes and sandals; they wanted to collaborate with our company and launch a new product in collaboration. And from all this information it was well understood that losing them would be like losing of a billion dollar deal.

I stood in front of the glass door, looking at my reflection for the last time. I was wearing a light pink half sleeve satin blouse with a knot and a black pencil skirt with a back cut, pairing both with a pair of pointed toe pumps.

With all I had in me, I stepped inside the room with a tray in hand that was well decorated with mouthwatering cookies and freshly brewed cups of coffee.

I entered inside and saw four men sitting across each other on the conference table. The room was white except for the dark brown furniture. The floor-to-ceiling windows were brimming the room with natural evening light.

As I put the tray on the table, everyone stood up. I looked at Mr Silver and exchanged a smile.

"Hi, this is Noemi Amante. I am Mr Hertrich's assistant's assistant," I said addressing the man standing opposite to Mr. Silver.

"Hello, Noemi. Fabio Testi. Marketing Manager of Kruks." He looked like he was probably in his thirties, tall, thin, with dark eyes and jet-black hair.

"Nice to meet you, Mr Testi." He shook our hands warmly with a corporate smile plastered on his face.

"Hi, this is Gisso Vintelo. I am the personal assistant of Raol De Sica." He gestured his hand towards the man standing alongside Mr Silver. "Meet our boss. The CEO and founder of Kruks Group of companies."

Raol De Hoss looked like a typical businessman in his thirties---quite like Alvin just a little too big. Plain and pristine suit wrapped around his broad shoulders and untouched brown hair styled like a wig on his head, making him look like a mannequin. His posture was confident, his stature commanding, his face hard and cold.

I extended my hand hoping to get disappointment off his end but to my surprise he grabbed it immediately. "Nice to meet you, Ms Noemi." His voice barely came as he boldly looked me up and down, his handshake firm and lingering. His eyes were so dark and serious, it gave me chills.

"Likewise, Mr Raol." I jerked my hand back without showing the inner turmoil that I was fighting through.

He gave me a calculative look before settling down on his seat again. His eyes never left mine.

"Mr Alvin and the team will be joining us in some time. Feel free to enjoy the refreshments till then. Let me know in case of any help is needed. I'll be sitting right there." I gestured to the table in the corner before making my way to my seat.

"Why don't you show me around, Miss Noemi, since we both know Mr Alvin won't be joining us anytime soon?" Taken aback by Mr Raol's voice, I looked up to meet his eyes. They were still dark and cold.

"Um.. actually, I would love to. But since I joined here only a few months back, I am also not very familiar with this place."

"That's even better. We can explore it together then." He smiled softly before moving his eyes at Mr Silver. "What do you think, Mr Silver, wouldn't it be better for both of us if I took a round of the business I'll be getting myself involved into?"

"Well, absolutely." Mr Silver looked at me with a command in his eyes as he added, "Noemi, please show Mr Raol around, please. Familiarize him with the various departments and functions of the company."

I smiled nervously, "Yeah, sure. Please come with me, Mr Raol."

I walked ahead while Mr Raol followed me. I had no know how my pace was unnaturally so fast until I tumbled myself upon a mat.

"Slowly, Miss Noemi." Before I knew it, I was in Mr Raol's arms. His cologne hit me like a punch of sandalwood and alcohol.

I flinched and moved backward. "It's fine. I'm fine, Mr Raol. I'm sorry. I--"

"Raol."

"Pardon me?" I straightened my skirt.

"Raol. You can call me Raol. It's fine." His lips barely curved into a smile before returning to their normal shape.

His fingers slipped over his tie, straightening the last few creases. He moved on, leaving me completely speechless.

Raol?! Why?

I followed him behind. "But--"

"So where are you taking me first," he turned around, whispering in a rough voice, "Miss Noemi," he smirked.
