My Vengeful CEO
13

[Vision by Iuri Stevens]

My mind keeps imagining various and various ways to make Aya grovel at my feet, a bouquet of hundred dollar bills at a dinner at the most luxurious restaurant in Paris? A bed adorned completely by several bills in the best hotel? No, no. That would be too easy, I want to have the pleasure of the hunt first. I will take her to my bed and then abandon her just as she did with her own daughter and send her to a precarious branch, just so she feels what it is like to be abandoned and left in the gutter.

Although... her parents already did this to her, so why the hell did she do the same thing to the child? What has she become during these seven years that I have spent away from here? I don't care, I will kill my long yearning for her and avenge the girl she abandoned, two birds with one stone.

Today is Friday, it is exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, she must be back from lunch. I decide to call this violet-eyed she-devil at her desk. It doesn't take more than a millisecond before I can hear the sound of her voice. - Stevens Construction, how can I help you?

- I want you to bring my lunch, lasagna and grape juice. You have twenty minutes, don't be late, or you will be punished.

I turn off the intercom without waiting for an answer from her. I turn my attention to the shelf of files that is just a few inches to the right of the front door, they are perfectly organized, I think I need to give my secretary a little more work. Without a second thought I get up from my chair and walk over to the bookcase, unhurriedly pulling file by file and leaving them spread out on the floor. I don't want her to spend the whole afternoon in here, so I just spread out the files from two shelves. That will be enough.

I look at my watch and it's only less than a minute before she shows up with my lunch, I leave the door open a little bit so she doesn't have to ask me to come in, I walk quietly to the bathroom, let this violet she-devil's punishment begin. (Aya Millenis' vision)

"What did he mean by: or will take punishment?" - How could he punish me? - I put my hands over my mouth, I just said the last part of my thought out loud. I feel shivers run down my spine, I take a deep breath, he must have just said it to scare me, as a joke.

I close the folders on the computer and grab the personal credit card that he left here yesterday, I didn't imagine that he had left it just for me to go buy his lunch. The company has a cafeteria, but apparently he doesn't like the food here. I put the card in my blazer pocket and go to the elevator, the restaurant is five minutes away.

***Nineteen minutes later***

With only one minute left of the time Iuri has given me to pick up his lunch, I frantically tap my foot on the metal floor of the executive elevator. Although there was no line at the restaurant, I had to wait ten minutes for the lasagna to finish baking. The metal doors finally open, even though my feet are throbbing, I walk as fast as I can until I reach the President's office. The hallway never seemed as long to me as it is now.

I try to regulate my breathing, the door is slightly open, "Has he left the door open because he didn't want me to call him? Should I just hand in my lunch and leave?" - I think and try to line up my hair a little with my fingertips.

I look through the gap in the door and he is not at his desk, I scan with my eyes around the room and don't find him, "Great, he won't notice I'm a few seconds late!" - it is impossible to hide the smile at the possibility of not getting a scolding, I have already been told how annoying and inflexible he is about schedules. I don't want to burn my film with him even more.

I breathe relieved and open the door, I need to be quick, quickly move my legs and step into the room.

- Hum-hum.

The sound of someone clearing their throat enters my ears as if it were a warning that I have been caught red-handed doing something wrong, in response my whole body tenses and shivers. Slowly I turn in the direction from which the sound comes, a nervous smile appears on my lips, it's him, Iuri. He is standing in front of the bathroom door, the movements of his arms catch my attention and I lower my eyes a little more to see what his hands are doing, they are buttoning his pants, I feel my cheeks burn.

- You're late, Miss Millenis," his husky voice makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

- I'm sorry, Mr. Stevens, the lasagna wasn't out of the oven yet when I...

- I didn't ask for your explanation - he interrupts me, I swallow dryly, "how did he turn into this pit of rudeness?" - I ask myself mentally. I think deep down I know the answers. Our conversation two nights ago made it very clear that it is my fault that he has become the way he is today. It's all my fault.

I decide to shut up and lower my head, trying to control my breathing. The presence of this man is capable of making the second largest room in the entire building seem tiny, and I have never felt as intimidated as I do now, my fingertips are cold and trembling.

- Not only were you late, but you also entered my office without permission," I close my eyes tightly at the accusations, "I am such an idiot, I have the power to always do everything wrong, what the hell! - Should I be benevolent? Involuntarily I jump with fright at the unexpectedly intoxicating whisper of his deep voice in my ear, my heart hammers hard inside my chest, my breathing becomes uncontrolled, my eyes are trembling and wide-open, but when I face his, I find only darkness, I have never seen his eyes as dark as they are now, they are hypnotizing, I take a step back, he is too close.

- Put it on the table," he orders, looking at me with such intensity that a white screen takes over my mind.

- W-what? I blink several times in bewilderment.

- My lunch.

Only now I could remember what had taken me inside that room, I try to concentrate as much as I can to move my legs without them melting. Inside the room the only sound is my heels walking across the floor, when I reach the table, I take a deep breath to not let my hands tremble and ruin his lunch. Carefully I take out of the bag the lunch box and arrange it on the table, beside it I take out the juice carton and arrange the cutlery beside the lunch box. All ok, I turn to him, but before I can open my mouth, he starts talking:

- I want you to do one more thing for me before you leave here.

- What?

- Tidy up these files - he points to the files, I follow the direction his finger is pointing, they are spread all over the floor, why did he do that? What a mess! - I was looking for a specific one, now that I found it I want you to organize the others, be quick and quiet.

- Yes, sir.

I walk quickly and kneel on the floor next to the files, the pages are out of the folders in a complete mess, I carefully read the notes one by one and put them inside their respective folders, I think it took me about ten minutes to get each sheet in its place, in total there were about ten files on the company's finances and companies. I take them all, get up, my knees crack... What a pain... I disguise my discomfort and take a deep breath, I take them one by one and put them in alphabetical order.

- Silent as a kitten - out of the corner of my eye I see his arm resting on the bookcase a few centimeters beside my head. I am trapped between him and the bookcase of files.

Feeling nervousness overtake me, I let the last file in my hand fall to the floor again, my whole body feeling the approach of Iuri's strong body too close to mine, the sound of his voice enters my ears and every hair on my body shivers. He is too close. I can feel his breath on the back of my neck.

- Tcs, the kitten did something wrong.

He whispers and butterflies fly all over my stomach, I slowly turn around and in the same instant regret that I did. His mouth is only a few inches away from mine, his nose is almost touching mine. I can smell his perfume, a delicious woody fragrance exudes from this man. I feel tiny and helpless, his body is taking up all the space. I open my mouth a little so that I can control my breathing.

I feel shocks coursing through my body, Iuri rests his hand on my jaw and with the tip of his thumb begins to caress my lower lip, involuntarily I run my tongue over it.

Iuri rubs the tip of his nose against mine, I close my eyes tightly, it feels like I'm back to being a totally inexperienced teenager who is about to have her first kiss. My heart feels like it wants to burst out of my chest, I swallow dryly and draw strength from nowhere, my lips are trembling.

- Yo... you're too close, I think you'd better come closer to...

His lips press against mine, the fright makes my eyes widen, I try to move away, but he puts his arm around my waist and pulls me closer to him, I open my mouth to protest, however, he uses this gap to stick his tongue in and I can't stand it anymore. I melt in his arms and surrender, it's as if I've been years in the driest desert and he's the drop of water I've been longing for. I put my arms around his neck and kiss him back in the most intense way I have ever kissed in my life. His large hands squeeze my hips pulling me even closer, I feel a hard bulge a little below my navel and this makes me even more aroused, I press my breasts against his strong chest and pull the hair on the back of his neck, a small noise is released from his mouth and this is enough to make me think of nothing else but what we are doing.

Our tongues duel in the most delicious way possible. It is as if I have found my little piece of paradise, I have never felt so many things mixed together as I am feeling now in this kiss. My lungs protest for more air and slowly our kiss stops, he rests his forehead on mine, it is peeling. I see him with his eyes closed, I watch his tongue going around his lower lip as if he is still tasting the kiss. Our breaths are ragged, our chests rise and fall rapidly, I allow myself to close my eyes again and touch my lips with my index finger. What a kiss, I feel my whole body tingling, yearning for more. However, the cold wind makes me open my eyes abruptly. Iuri pulls away and stands with his back to me. Instantly I miss his warmth. - Back to your table, now," he orders and walks to his table.

My legs are shaky and my hands are trembling, my heart is hammering hard in my chest, I feel the tears coming and without saying anything I leave his room.

"What just happened in there?" - a tear trickles from my eye, soon wiping it clean.
