Chapter 38
The fragrant scent of vanilla wafted through the air but the morning breeze coming in through the bedroom window caused the flame of the candle eminating the scent to dwindle. It was not the largest candle and since it has been burning out for the last hour, it looked a little deformed and no longer remained as perfect of a white rose figure as it had once been.
| had grown tired of waiting for Dante to join me for breakfast this morning but he was a no show. and neither did he return any of my calls. Gosh, could some thing have come up at work that he had to see to some emergency and he couldn't make it?
| have up trying to call him like half an hour ago and, as | looked at the poor candle, | decided to put it out of its misery by blowing out the flame anyways.
It was still early, early enough that Hayley would still be asleep for a while and it was why it was the perfect time for Dante to come over this morning for a quick... treat. But | guess that was not. happening this morning.
But these past few days had been far better than | could have ever imagined it possible. It was not strings attached, no talking about the past, and just pure animalistic S*x. | didn’t expect to be so involved and okay with it until it happened but | was. | guess Pheobe being around him had me on
degree but she was no longer in the picture and Dante was a free man.
guard to the highest
Giving up on the hope that he was going to show up seeing as it was nearly past 8, | decided to get on with my morning and get dressed for the day. | showered, dressed in something work appropriate and left the house with the intention of getting breakfast on my way to the office or maybe some time later during the morning.
My spirits was a little dampened after this morning’s disappointment but | drowned most of my morning in work before | was too famished to continue. It was then that | halted my work and began waking up to get some food from the cafe.
My hand reached for the handle of my office door and pulled it open just as Dante raised his hand to knock on it. | looked at him in bewildered surprise since | was not expecting to see him here at the office at all but here he was.
“Hey.” He greeted me but it was a very unusual way for him to have greeted me. “Can | come in?” He asked but pushed past me any ways and shut the door behind him.
“You are here. At my work place.” | said slowly but he didn’t care for small talk before the moment that door was shut closed, Dante wrapped his arms around my back and pulled me against him ravishing my mouth with his I*ps.
| broke the k*ss a little coming up for air but also needing to ask him what the hell happened this morning.
“You were supposed to show up at my house like three hours ago.” | said breathlessly and his jaw clenched tightly. | felt his shoulders stiffen beneath my hold and | moved away from him but just a little bit because his hold refused to loosen.
“| know but some thing came up.” He said vaguely causing me to raise a brow at him. His I*ps found my mouth again and he k*ssed me but | pulled back.
“Was there some emergency that you had to see to?” | queried and eyed his face closely.
It was evident that he did not want to speak about the situation or he either did not want to speak about it to me. | couldn't quite place my finger on which of the two it had been.
“You could say that but it’s all taken care of. Now, please, let me f uck you until | forget all about this morning. He hissed close to my ear, his anger and lust fighting to win.
| could resist him no matter how hard | tried. My b*dy was still eagerly ready for him since | waited all morning electrically charged by lust awaiting his arrival and his touch. So, when he k*ssed met and his hand sI*pped beneath the hem of my pencil skirt, my heels wobbled against the floor right when he found my sweet spot and massaged until | was dripping all over his expert fingers,
“So, so wet for me. He growled over my I*ps.
| didn’t have time to take in another breath because Dante lifted me from below my derriere and all but threw me on top of my desk where he pushed my skirt up to my hips.
In one move he undid his pants and just as he was about to reveal his thick erection to me, his phone began vibrating in his pocket but he ignored it and continued to undress but the ringing didn’t stop and only grew more incessant.
“Just answer it. What if it’s another emergency.” | said thinking that perhaps some thing had come up again with work.
He swore whoever had been calling him before he did | to his pockets for his phone. When Dante retrieved it and saw who it had been calling him his entire face grew bleak and hard.
“What?” He barked on the phone displeased at being interrupted at such a time.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Dante was silent for a long while as he just listened to the rapid male voice speaking to him over the phone in a rushed manner. Yep, it was definitely an emergency.
| dropped myself of the desk and began fixing my clothes knowing that nothing further was going to happen right now because he would have to leave any ways.
“This is rediculous. | made it clear as to why | would not so exactly that. | do not see the urgency for it right now. | made my sentiments clear on the matter.” He said in such a harsh tone that | was glad that it was not me on the other side of that call but who ever it had been was gutsy and continued speaking with the same firm vigour that they began speaking in.
| couldn't hear any part of the conversation aside from the mu ffled voices. Dante’s jaw clenched tightly enough that the tendon above it popped under the pressure.
“I'll be right there.” He said before hanging up.
“Another work emergency?” | asked knowing that it probably already was.
His face was bleak and expressionless but he looked pissed off. Dante fixed his closed and fastened his belt.
“Indeed. His responded flatly.
“Two crises before noon. You're having a hot day.” | tried to lighten up the atmosphere that had
grown
thick and tensed.
Dante refused to meet my gaze and | suddenly began feeling very uneasy for some unknown reason but it was probably because of how the air had tensed up since his phone call.
| wanted to ask him what predicament he had been facing but then decided against it. He didn’t look too pleased with what ever had been going on and | doubted that he wanted to speak about it let alone having the time to do so.
“How about | meet you later at your place?” | suggested hoping to mend this uncomfortable turn of
events.
“No.” The single word flew out of his mouth in a temporary wave of panic causing me to frown.
hte cleared his throat, running a hand roughly through his hair. “I mean | don’t know what time
be heading home after | deal with this current work issue but if I’m home at a reasonable hour, | will call you.” His tone had become formal and business like and it felt like we were suddenly in a two man meeting as opposed to us have just come down from our almost high.
| merely nodded but | could not shake of the feeling that some thing was off. | could be over thinking or my mind could be trying to protect me from repeating the past but | could feel myself wanting to close off.
Dante took a step back his eyes lingering over my face but still averting my gaze like | was going to shoot Lazer beams through my eyes and burn him to a cinder.
After he had left, | didn’t have any interest in going to get some thing to eat. | thought to drown my wandering, assuming mind in work but that, too, was no possible. No matter how hard | tried to focus on the paper work in front of me, | kept zoning on thinking about Dante’s unusual behaviour earlier. It could be work and it probably was which is why it made me feel like | was being irrational thinking it was otherwise or that some thing was being hidden from me.
Never the less, as | drove myself back home, | had a small hope that he would call me up soon and he would either sneak in here once Hayley was asleep or | would go to his. | kept my phone close by just in case but with each passing hour, | had began to lose hope until the sky became dark. outside and | had seen myself off to bed. When | had awoken the next morning, the disappointment settled in my chest seeing that there was no call let alone a text message from
Dante.
