Chapter 7 - Just like then, naïve and sensitive

I was panicking, too rushed as I fumbled through my purse, I groaned as I poured everything out, my breathing rushed yet shaky as the scene kept playing in my head again and again. 

What am I supposed to do now?

My body betrayed me, I closed my eyes shut as he trailed a few kisses down my neck, nuzzling my skin, and I embraced it all, the feeling and his touch. And now, when was I this desperate for someone?

Someone? Nah, Sierra! Fuck you, that's your boss!

I shut my eyes tight, leaning against the sink, I felt my body still shivering as I remember how his lips felt on my skin, I remember how I gasped, clinging to him as he assaulted my neck, as his own damn property!

And what's worse? I let him.

I flush all embarrassed, this was too much, how am I supposed to face him with this memory he left itched in my head, acting like a little slut whimpering and accepting it all like a good girl, "Fuck me!" I snap, looking at myself, all red and embarrassed.

I notice the hickey he left, which was why I was here in the first place, trying to cover up, hiding a little dirty secret in the washroom, I huff as I slowly bite my lower lip, imagining how his tongue had moved as he licked the bite mark yet again I moaned, like my life depended on it.

I felt dominated and I liked it, fuck. I just took all of it, everything in silence? Nah, in pleasure. What the fuck.

"No, stop it. Sie, you are a noble woman, you don't crumble this easily." I chant it like a mantra to keep myself composed. I wash my face with cold water, panting as I catch my breath, watching myself act like a mess.

I huff, wiping my face with my handkerchief as I pull out the compact powder, working on my hickey so no one notices it, and it does remain as a dirty little secret of mine. Once done, I take a deep breath, adjust my face, and put on a little lip gloss as I make myself presentable.

I fist my palm as I remember his smug face, I feel like smacking him right in the face!

"What? Caught me? In the act? Who does he think of himself?!" I snapped, collecting my stuff and putting it back in my purse. His face was enough to trigger me at that moment, yet I felt weak before him.

"The audacity!" I huff, walking out of the washroom. I make my way back to the office, slightly startled, as I notice everyone working seriously. I look at the time and gasp, horrified. "Fuck." I mutter under my breath, rushing to my desk.

Luthien POV

All the way up the elevator, my eyes were on the chain in my hand. I smirked as I slowly curled my fingers around the chain and put it inside my pocket. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Naive yet interesting, like before." I shake my head, looking at the screen showing the number, the door opens, and I walk out, licking my lips with a little smirk. I walk inside my cabin and settle in my chair.

Tilting my head, I grin, amused. "Still the same, sensitive…right there."

My smile disappears as I clear my throat, and I shake my head, "No, stop. She clearly doesn't remember. Just an employee." I chant, sitting upright as I pull a few documents to work on, my mind yet keeps thinking of her.

I couldn't help but feel suspicious. Why was she here?

I pull the chain out of my pocket, eyeing it as I grow agitated, "Those scoundrels! Just let me find them and they are dead." I huff, putting the chain necklace inside my drawer, leaning back, I close my eyes, my head throbbing with all these jumbled thoughts.

She had no idea I took it from her, I feel intrigued by how she is just the same, unconscious of her surroundings in my presence. Shaking my head, I groan and try again- to get back to work and think less.

End of Luthien's POV

Hah, the day ends. I mean, the working time.

So much happened, and I wanted rest, a comforting shower, and my bed.

I make my way out of the office with a few documents that I had to work on, I walk towards the bus stop. 

I bite my lips as I sit down at the bus stop, waiting for the bus to arrive. As I sit there in silence, my brain is a chaotic space, my overthinking plus my boss. 

Heaving out a sigh, I look up, trying to stop thinking, a bus arrives, and I stand up and walk towards the bus when I feel a fuzzy feeling inside my stomach, again.

I don't remember eating anything weird; heck, I didn't even finish my lunch. Shaking my head, I look up, trying to walk ahead, but the door shuts and moves, and I gasp. "Wait! I am taking the bus!" I shout, running after the bus a little, huffing as I catch my breath.

Embarrassing, fucking… embarrassing.

I close my eyes shut knowing very well I am the center of attention, I open my eyes, walking back to the stand as I hear a few people laughing at me while some just snickering at me with a comical gaze.

Just great.

Just then, a black car stops before me, the window at the front rolls down as a man leans out of the window, "Ma'am? Sir is asking if you want a lift?"

I frown, "Sir? Who?" 

The man chuckles at me, and then the window behind rolls down. I peek inside and find him smirking at me, I huff as I cross my arms; the other guy, boss, is always with, waves at me, and forces a little smile. I smile back softly and look at the driver, "Oh, please let him know I don't want it."

I take in the sight of a surprised driver while I see him scoffing from the corner of my eye, just then the shield rolls up and the car drives off, I scoff at his audacity. 

I remember quite clearly how he smirked at me, as if he proved a point of my intention after he made me a mess, like seriously? I am a woman, for god sake, I feel!

I grow angry at myself for letting him get under my skin. What is so different about him that I can say no to any other man but him? But the difference is clear, he is a jerk, a real jerk!!

If he tries to touch me as much again, the next time he will see my intention. I smirk, I will give him a good beating!

I sit down, waiting for another bus to arrive as the day is getting quite dark, I check the time and it is almost six in the evening. Waiting for another half an hour I see a bus arrive, and I happily rush along the crowd to secure myself a seat.

An hour later, I get off at the my station and heave in relief, I make sure I have all my stuff as I make my way towards the alleyway that leads me to my apartment, I start feeling chills run down my body as I start walking faster, clutching the bag and the files.

I grow more conscious as I start hearing footsteps following me, I start rushing to my apartment and slowly I run while I hear the footsteps catching my pace. I was trying hard to not cry and catch my breath as I rushed to the apartment. 

Just when I was close to my apartment house, I felt someone holding me and I let it out- a scream of help.

AHHHHH!!!

"Wait? What?!" 

I hear a startled voice of a man speak, instinctively I clutch the files and swiftly turn around, smacking the man with all my might, the yelp and pleas from the man for me to stop went unnoticed by me as I was in another world of self-defense in fear.

"Sierra! Stop!"

Hearing my name from the man baffled me and my arms rose wide up in the air, frozen with the sudden turns of events.
