Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 31

Despite the several hours that had passed by since what had transpired between Dante and I, | still couldn’t erase it from my mind. Every time | thought about it, each time my mind so much as went

entire b*dy to what happened, my Ips tingled like it could still feel his devour me while my became charged all over again.

| couldn’t blame myself since | had not been touched like that since | left and the last man that did touch me renewed my desire unleashing it from its dormant state that it had sI*pped in to. Fort years | thought that perhaps my carnal desires had simmered away after | had given birth and it was just one of those things but | was wrong.

If any thing, my b*dy craved it more and it burned for more that even a single thought sent a jolt of need washing over me until | felt it in my core. It was like my b*dy needed one orgasm to reveal the vixen that | had thought was long gone.

| didn’t regret it exactly because | finally felt alive again but | do wish that | had stopped it sooner before | came undone on his fingers. Dante’s own desire for me was tenfold. It was clear that he could not control it either and had | not stopped things, who knew where it would have lead us.

But Dante had the gall to make such an advance when he was still very much involved with Pheobe. It was a boundary that | was not going to cross. | did not want to be a side piece neither did | want to invoke any further unnecessary drama that would come should Pheobe find out.

“Miss Miller, what do you think?” Melanie, the head of marketing, asked looking at me expectantly. with a hint of impatience.

Shit. | didn’t even know what she was asking me about because | had completely zoned out, Not only had Melanie been looking at me, several pairs of eyes from the rest of the room had been waiting for my response. | needed to think and | needed to do it fast.

“Sounds good. Although | would like to see the detailed plans before | pass a final verdict. Phew, | saved that nicely ensuring | got to see what she proposed before agreeing to it especially when 1 had zoned out.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The meeting had concluded and Lucy entered the board room just as every one had left. Her steps. were urgent as she walked toward me where | was still seated at the head of the table.

“Now that your meeting is concluded, Mr Crawford had dropped by to see you then minutes ago,” She informed me and my heart did that stupid thing where it felt like it had fallen and missed a

beat.

“W-What did you tell him?” | queried hoping that | could get out of this. It was too soon for me to see him. The events of last night were still too fresh, too embarassing to see him.

She frowned at my reaction. “told him to wait in your office until you're done.” She said hesitantly fearing that she had done the wrong thing.

| massaged my temples with my thumb and index finger for a moment before looking back at Lucy. “Tell him that an important meeting had come up and | won’t be available for the rest of the day” | instructed her and she frowned but nodded and left anyways.

Being in his presence when my own desires were so out of line was not an ideal situation. In any case, | doubt that he could have come here for any good or any thing of importance.

| peaked out of the boardroom door to see if Dante had left and | had caught sight of him just as he had disappeared in to the elevator. A sigh of relief left me and | exited the board room heading back to my office. | pushed the door open and was immediately greeted with the potent smell of Dante’s cologne. My pulse immediately began racing as just scent of him illicited the most x-rated thoughts.

After giving my head a shake to stay focused, | couldn’t miss the large bouquet of lilies left on my desk. It stood all beautifully arranged in a vase as they boasted their full bloom. | got closer to the flowers and immediately got a whiff of the sweet smell of lilies. My eyes spotted a card and | pulled it from the little holder in the midst of the bouquet. | fl*pped it open and saw the nearly inky inscription.

The smell of you still lingers on my fingers. -Dante.

My cheeks heated up in a blush until | felt it already to my n*eck. What was this man doing to me? More over, what was | allowing to happen? Dallying with Dante was not a safe game to play.

My plan was to do what | had been doing already. Pretend as if nothing happened and not allow him to seek me put unnecessarily. Eventually he would tire out and leave it as some thing that was never meant to be rekindled.

But | was wrong.

For the next few days, Dante had tried his best to find me. Be it during meetings to my commute back home or even the meals | took at the cafe down from the office, he was determined to get me alone but | did not allow it. It was playing a game of hide and seek which, by the look of it, Dante was enjoying.

It was the last day of the work week when | walked in to my office after enjoying a peaceful brunch all by myself. | headed back to the my office and opened the door to find the man that | had been avoiding for the past week seated leisurely in my office chair.

Dante toyed with a letter opener in his hands and his head snapped up the second | entered the office. His face was unreadable and his eyes were darker than ever. | couldn’t tell if he was mad or up to some thing based on how unreadable his face had been.

“Dante.” His name was a breathy whisper.

“Sophia.” He said my name like it was poison against his tongue. Tired of running away from me?” He taunted, a sly grin on his ps.

“| have no idea what you're talking about.” | feigned innocence but he scoffed humoured by my act.

“You have been avoiding me ever since-

“Don't say it.” | begged closing my eyes.

“Ever since | made you cum all over my fingers. He said stubbornly and | inhaled sharply as my b*dy recalled the entire scene. “That is not true.” | denied but he pushed back the office chair and rose to his full, intimidating length.

“You are a horrible liar. Either that or you think that | am stupid.” He said in a neutral time but his eyes were anything but. “Or is it because you prefer to run away when things get a little too real.” He muttered tightly taking several steps in my direction.

My eyes snapped up to look at him like he had lost his mind. He spoke as if what happened the other night was perfectly fine but how could it be? Pheobe was technically still his girlfriend and she will remain in that position because she will never ever let go of the gold mine she found within Dante. Whether he was aware of this fact or not, was his problem, but a man as sharp as him couldn't miss it.

“Too real? You call that too real? Don’t you see that such a thing can’t happen ever again.” My voice. rose an octave as | glared at him.

He grabbed my chin in his hold between his thumb and index finger tipping my head back. My nose was not mere inches away from his.

“Because you're scared of how much you want it or because you're simply running away?* He taunted bringing his I*ps too close to my jaw line that | felt the skin there tingle.

“We are two grown adults. It’s evident that we both still desire each other. | don’t see the harm of it.” Of course he didn’t because he did not know what Pheobe was truly capable of.

“It is a dangerous game to play, Dante, and as always | will have more to lose at it than you do.” | swallowed tightly, my throat still tensed at being held up.

He placed a light k*ss against my jawline and my I*ps quivered. | had to fight every instinct of mine and not turn my face so that my I*ps could clash with his. His I*ps moved lower along my jaw line until it hovered torturously over my I*ps.

“No one will lose anything.” He whispered huskily coaxing me, inviting me to give in to both of our raging, unsatiated desire.

His

eyes remained fixed with mine, watching carefully to see my resolve crumbled and it did. His I*ps pressed against mine ina teasing, taunting k*ss. One that sent my toes curling in my shoes and a pulse forming between my legs. It was not a full blown k*ss but it was enough to leave me wanting more and sent my head in to a muzzy whirlwind.

“This is what you do to me, Sophia.” He reached for my hand and brought it to the front of his pants so | could feel his erection fight to break through.

Awave of power washed over me feeling his need and desire so desperately.

“It's what you've always done to me and you know it.” He I*ps moved against mine again but he broke away too soon causing a protesting moan to escape me.

I shut my eyes tightly fighting logic and outright desire within myself. | wanted to throw every

a

caution to the wind and dance in the darkness with him but | also had a lot to think about, a lot on the line, and a lot to lose.

The image of Pheobe bent over me as she kicked my stomach years ago flashed through my clouded mind and | was immediately brought back out of the trance that he had entrapped me in.

| took a few steps back with urgency like | needed to escape him as | shook my head. He didn’t know what Pheobe had done to me and | was not going to say any thing about it to him now.

“No, Dante. | cannot. So long as your name is linked to Phoebe, | can’t allow myself to go ahead with this.” | shook my head again affirming it to myself.

He knew better than to question me further because asking me for any further reasoning would solidify how ready he was to cheat on Pheobe. He may have known the truth about her lies for saving him but did he actually do any thing about it?
