Bullied by the Boss Page 4

  She licked her lips. “You wouldn’t even answer my question, and you would have probably made it next to impossible for me to go to an interview.”

  “You want to leave?”

  There was a pause, a slight hesitation.

  “Yes.”

  “You’re lying.” He stepped closer to her.

  “I don’t want to work for you anymore, and I don’t want to work in this office.”

  “What have I done that is so damn terrible?”

  “What have you done? You don’t even see what an asshole you are?”

  “Oh, so now I’m the asshole because I expect a level of respect—”

  “Respect! You treat me like a damn dog, and you have no respect for anyone but yourself. You’re the worst person I have ever worked for.”

  Raising his voice, he closed that final distance. “You know what, fine, go elsewhere. I’m sorry I wasn’t the kind of boss to kiss your fucking ass.”

  “I don’t need you to kiss my ass! You could have just been nice to me without all that crap. You’re mean. You’re a bully, and I want out.” She was yelling just like him.

  “Is that what you want? You want me to tell you how wonderful you are, how nice you are.”

  “No, I don’t want you to tell me anything because you know what, I’m not sticking around. You’re a horrible human being, and I’m glad that I know what it’s like to work for a scumbag. I’ve finally seen one.”

  It was just too much. Rex didn’t know what happened next. One moment they were yelling, and the next moment he had her pressed up against his bookcase. Her hands locked above her head as he slammed his lips down on hers. She was so soft, so curvy, and he pressed his body against hers, needing her softness.

  Claiming her lips, he plunged his tongue into her mouth, and she whimpered. She didn’t push him away, nor did she fight him. Her fingers locked around his, and held him close. The kiss was unlike anything he had ever felt before in his life. She didn’t attack him, or try to make it sloppy. She took his tongue, meeting him, and sliding against him.

  His heart was pumping rapidly, and his cock grew hard, harder than it ever had before.

  Finally, he pulled away, and they were both panting.

  She licked her lips, and stared into his eyes. From the look in her eyes, she was as shocked as he was about what had happened. His lips fucking tingled from the touch of hers, and he wanted to taste her again.

  Chapter Four

  “I knew you’d taste good,” Rex said.

  Nora didn’t know what the hell was happening. Her hands were trapped either side of her head, and she wasn’t fighting his hold. Her pussy was slick, and for the first time in her life, she wanted him, and yet she couldn’t stand him. “You’re a bully.”

  “Then tell me to stop, Nora. Tell me to fuck off, and slap a sexual harassment suit on my ass. I wouldn’t fight it.” He pressed his cock against her stomach making her moan. “You know I want you, and if your pussy isn’t wet, then go ahead. If it is however soaking and wanting my dick, then don’t fight me. You know we both want it.”

  Before she could speak, he took her lips once again, and the fluttering inside her got even worse. There had never been this spark.

  “But … I … hate you …” She stopped on a long moan as he sucked on her neck.

  “Hate, love, lust, it’s all the same thing.” He kissed down her neck, and he released her hands. She didn’t move as he began to unbutton her shirt.

  Glancing over at his office, she thought about the women she had walked in on, and everything crashed over her. This man was an asshole. He was a bully, and she was leaving the company because of him, and yet he was seconds away from having one of her tits in his mouth.

  With a force that surprised her, she broke away from him.

  “What the fuck!”

  With shaking hands that had nothing to do with fear and everything to do with arousal, she rebuttoned her shirt, and turned back toward him.

  “You don’t want this?” he asked.

  “It’s not about what I want. This is not happening. I’m not some easy target for you to fuck.”

  “So you do want this. I bet your pussy is dripping for me. When was the last time you had a good hard fucking?”

  She stared at him, and glared. “You’re vulgar, and you’re cruel, and this is never happening. No matter what.” She moved toward the door, and he was suddenly there, his arm around her waist, stopping her.

  He placed a hand flat on her stomach, and she couldn’t move, nor did she want to. “Tell me, Nora. Tell me you don’t want to be fucked by your boss.”

  “I don’t.” Even to her own ears she sounded fake. Damn it. “I hate you.”

  “Yeah, well there’s a fine line between those two emotions.”

  “I want to leave, Rex. I don’t want to work for you.”

  “What does Frank say?”

  “He’s willing to give me a reference if I want to go.” She didn’t want to go. Apart from Rex, she really did like it here, and she was so upset that it had gotten this bad. Never had she been pushed away because of bullies.

  Rex stared at her, and he was panting. This was the first time they had ever had cross words. Her heart was pounding. What she didn’t like was how aroused she was. This wasn’t something she was used to not at all.

  “What will it take to make you stay?” he said.

  “What?”

  “I don’t want you to go.”

  She frowned. “You’ve done everything you can to make me leave.” She paused as he kissed her neck.

  “I know, and now I don’t want you to go. What will it take to get you to stay?”

  He was fogging her brain. “I’ve got to go.”

  The hand on her stomach moved to grip her hip. “Just tell me what you want. I’ll give it to you.”

  There was nothing, and she didn’t know what he could do. She didn’t want anything from him, or from the company.

  Pulling out of his hold, she turned toward him. “Nothing.” She stepped back, and when she was at a safe distance, she grabbed her bag and coat.

  “I didn’t want you to be my PA,” he said.

  She snorted. Her lips still tingled from their kiss. “I know.”

  “I’m not used to women like you.”

  “What woman is that? The kind that don’t get naked for you.” With her coat fastened, she turned toward him, waiting.

  “Someone who cares. Your care about your job and about what you do. You take pride in it.”

  “What are you trying to do?” she asked. “I don’t get it. All the time I’ve been here you’ve treated me like shit, and all of a sudden it’s like you do actually care.”

  “I do care.” He stopped, running a hand through his hair. “I’m not used to this, okay? I’m used to getting what I want without fucking trying.”

  “Then you’ve grown sloppy. There is no price on keeping me, Rex. I just … I can’t work here, and especially not now.”

  “Why not?”

  “That kiss—”

  He took a step toward her, silencing her. She stepped back, needing to put some distance between them.

  Nora didn’t like what her body was doing to her.

  “You feel it, too, don’t you?”

  He kept moving forward, and she kept moving backward trying to put as much distance between them as possible. It didn’t work though. He trapped her against the wall once again. “This isn’t over, and you’re a fool to think it would be.” His hand moved beside her head. “Your nipples are rock hard, Nora. I bed your pussy is wet. I will have you, and you won’t be going anywhere. I’ll make damn sure of it.”

  With that, he pulled away, and she didn’t stick around.

  She walked to the elevator, proud of herself that she didn’t run from him.

  Staring at her reflection, she saw that her lips were swollen from his kisses. Reaching up, she touched her lips, and shook her head. No, she wasn’t going to go there, not now
, not ever.

  It was time for her to move on.

  Now more than ever. There was no way that her boss was going to get to her that way.

  She hated Rex.

  Opposites attract.

  No, there was opposites, and then completely different. She was different.

  It wouldn’t happen.

  Not ever.

  Even as she thought it, she couldn’t help but remember how good his body felt against hers. She wouldn’t be weak, or at least, she hoped she wouldn’t.

  ****

  Returning to his office, Rex growled as he swiped the contents of his desk onto the floor. He was so fucking pissed off, and angry, and horny. She had turned him down! She wasn’t any better than he was, and there was no way on this earth that a woman turned him down. Now he had made a mess, and he would have to clean it all up.

  She’s not just any woman. She’s a keeper.

  Fuck! His cock was so damn hard right now that it was a struggle to focus. She had been perfect pressed up against him. There had been no mistaking those curves, or that luscious body that he had once mocked.

  Running fingers through his hair, he gritted his teeth as revulsion at his past actions consumed him.

  No. He couldn’t allow himself to think that way, or to even care. It wasn’t about that now. She was leaving, and he couldn’t allow that to happen. He didn’t want it to happen.

  Spinning around in his office, the only thing that had survived on his desk was his computer.

  Moving toward it, he fired it back up, and brought up her employment file. He had to know where she lived. There was no way he was taking no for an answer.

  This office wasn’t the place to do to her what he wanted, and boy, did he want to create some fantastic dirty memories.

  Finding her address, he scrawled it down and left the office. Heading toward his car, he had a mission on his mind, and he wasn’t about to be stopped. Entering her address into his GPS, he didn’t wait around, and because it was late, traffic wasn’t that bad.

  Within the hour he was pulling up to her apartment building. It was nice, nothing too fancy though. On the salary they paid her she could have her own place. Maybe he should talk to Frank about giving her a raise.

  Parking his car, he climbed out, and ran up the steps. As he found her name on the building, it had to have been his lucky day because a couple had just left. He smiled at the couple, and entered the building as they opened the door. Nothing was said, and it must have been because he looked well kept.

  The security in this place wasn’t very good, and he didn’t like that. It didn’t matter where the apartment was. As far as he was concerned, every single place was at risk of being broken into. He’d read the statistics on break-ins. Anyone could be affected by that. The thought of Nora all alone while someone was ransacking her place didn’t sit well with him.

  Rushing upstairs, he went to her floor, and found her door. Without waiting, he knocked.

  She had gotten a good ten minutes on him, maybe a little longer.

  Tapping his foot, his impatience was starting to get the better of him.

  The door opened, and she stood on the other side.

  Without waiting for her to invite him in, he pushed his way inside.

  Classy, Rex. Real fucking classy.

  “What the hell are you doing here?” she asked.

  She was in a robe, and her hair was still falling around her in waves.

  “We’ve got unfinished business.”

  Nora glared at him, and then at her door. “How do you know where I live?”

  “Simple, I have my ways.”

  She shook her head. “PR, right? You’ve got someone there to give you the access codes to the secure files. I know Frank doesn’t allow everyone to access them. Only he can, along with people in PR.”

  Okay, so maybe he didn’t have many secrets, but he did have some. There were many people who worked in PR.

  Nora pursed her lips, and rather than looking stern, to him she just looked cute.

  “Arleen.”

  The smile on his face disappeared.

  “Yep, she’s the only one who would think you’re a charming man.” She folded her arms.

  He didn’t like that robe. It was too big and too bulky.

  “What do you want?” she asked.

  Her back was now to the door, so he stepped toward her. Still, she stepped back, and he’d been counting on it.

  When her back finally hit the door, he slammed his hands either side of her face.

  “You don’t want to fuck in the office that is fine with me.” He leaned in close, and there was no denying the look of longing on her face. “But this is happening.”

  “No, it’s not.”

  She didn’t even sound convincing to herself, he saw it.

  “Yeah, it is. If it wasn’t going to happen, you wouldn’t have responded. Tell me right now your pussy isn’t wet.” Her thighs were squeezed so tightly together, and she didn’t say a fucking word. Rex smiled. “I get it. I’ve fucked a great deal of sluts in that office, but you are not a slut, are you? No, you’re Nora Covington, the office princess, and I don’t mind that at all. In fact, when we’re together, you’re going to be a princess to me.”

  She shook her head, but again she didn’t say anything.

  He took a strand of her hair, and teased it between his fingers. It was soft as silk, and like this, falling all around her, she was beautiful. He wanted this hair fanned out on his pillow as he drove inside her again, and again. It was like every single fantasy was bombarding him over and over again, driving him crazy with need.

  “Nora is the kind of woman that you’re loyal to. She’s the kind of woman that you feel guilty if you ever fuck another woman when she is yours.”

  Frank’s words came back to him, and staring into her brown eyes, Rex saw the truth, and he understood it now more than ever.

  This was why he hadn’t wanted Nora near him. She was the complete opposite of all the women he went for, so different that he had seen the temptation. He had pushed her away, called her names, belittled her as much as possible, and right now, he knew without a doubt that he couldn’t lose her.

  Rex had been wanting her a long time, long before she became his PA, or even Frank’s. He had seen her when she had first started working delivering mail. She had been so young then, and he’d watched her.

  The years had done wonders for her. When she first arrived, she had been so nervous, and he’d seen it when he looked at her.

  The young woman held a large stack of envelopes, and she smiled at everyone.

  “Who’s that?” he asked Carl.

  “You don’t know the cutie that started delivering mail?”

  “All of my mail goes to my PA.”

  “Yeah, and she’s so fucking dumb she probably tosses it all in the trash thinking it isn’t important.”

  He couldn’t argue there.

  “Why does she smile a lot?” Rex asked.

  “Because she’s happy. She loves working here and has been here for about three weeks. I wonder who will ask her out first.”

  When Frank came toward her, and placed his arm around her, Rex didn’t know what happened, but he just pulled himself back.

  It wasn’t because Frank had laid claim to her. No, it was because his boss respected her, and he wasn’t about to mess with that. He’d also seen the way Lidia had fussed over her. Everyone knew that Lidia and Frank didn’t have any children. He had seen all of Lidia’s maternal instincts come out when she was around Nora.

  “I’m not a princess, Rex. You shouldn’t be here, and if Frank ever finds out what Arleen did, he is going to be pissed.”

  “You’re not going to say anything.”

  “You’re in my place right now—”

  He cut her off. “Tell me to leave. Tell me to get the fuck out of your apartment.”

  Before she could even speak a word, he slid his hand under her robe, touching her bare pussy.
>
  She gasped, and as he slipped a finger through her slit, she cried out.

  “Well, well, well, you’ve been keeping secrets from me, Nora. We both know you want me, and guess what? I want you, and I’m going to have you.”

  Her glares were turning him on. Moving his other hand from her head, he tugged on the belt of the robe, but she stopped him, holding his hands.

  Didn’t she feel that electricity? That pulse that bounced between them! He felt it, and had been ever since he met her.

  She drew his gaze no matter where she went. The women over the years, they were merely distractions. He had tried to forget about the pull of Nora, the need that constantly filled him when he looked her way. Nothing worked, and now, he was finally going to have her.

  “I don’t like you,” she said through gritted teeth.

  “But you want to fuck me. Admit it, you want to have my nice big cock, and you want to ride that frustration out on me.”

  Moving his hand from the belt, he gripped the back of her neck, and slammed his lips down on hers.

  It was like he was drowning, being consumed by everything. The moment his lips touched hers, everything started to fade, and all that remained was the two of them.

  “That’s what I want, and you never know, you could find working for me fun.”

  Her hands had moved from her belt to his jacket, gripping his shoulders. She looked torn, wanting to push him away but at the same time wanting to draw him closer.

  Finally, with her distracted enough, he tore the robe open, and pushed it off her body. She wore nothing, completely naked, and fuck if it didn’t turn him on even more.

  He didn’t step away. Releasing his jacket, he dropped it to the floor. Next he unbuttoned his shirt, and finally, he shoved his pants down until he was naked. They hadn’t moved away from the doorway, and he didn’t mind that. She was trapped against him and the door.

  Her nipples were hard, and her chest flushed. The scent of sex was heavy in the air. His own arousal was evident as his cock stood out from his body, rock hard.

  Taking her hands within his, he started to walk back.

  “This cannot go to the office,” she said.

  “It won’t.”

  “I’m still leaving.”
