ECHOS OF THE PAST
Derek's Pov:
I looked out the window of my room, getting a clear view of the city. I'd always loved the view, the blue sky and the moving white clouds above the skyscrapers. The cup of hot tea in my hand, I brought to my lips, taking a sip, slightly nodding my head at the satisfying taste. I turned from the window, my eyes found a picture I'd long taken with him to bring back memories.
I shuffled closer as I stared at it. A picture I could never let slip from my hands, a picture I woke up every day to stare at. Was it weird that I ever loved a person who stabbed me in the back twice and still continued to love this person? I stared so long at the picture of me and her sitting by the fountain. I couldn't ever trust a femme fatale anymore. Their work was to seduce, attract and then destroy. Was it also weird that I found myself attracted to someone that looked exactly like her? Elena. The innocence that she carried was on her face, but her attitude went way beyond that. I wanted her. But there was one thing that I was unsure of, and that was if she was a femme fatale. She behaved like one, but her body language didn't give that out.
It was funny how I thought that no woman could replace my ex-girlfriend. Her replacement, all these while was living under a roof of abuse. I had to admit that Damon was lucky to have found her first because if I did and anyone tried to touch her, I would have shot him three times in the head with pleasure.
Settling on my white cozy bed, I sipped my tea as my eyes traced the length of the sun's ray streaming from outside to my room. I loved mornings, they were just cool and calming.
A knock was hard from outside. "Boss." A feminine voice called as she entered.
"What's the news Augusta?" I didn't do as much as turn to face her but she came and stood in front of me. She'd been the one to kill my ex when she realized she was cheating on me. Well, I didn't ask for that and would have choked Augusta to death that day if not for the fact that she was still useful to me.
"There are no traces left of him in the club. Turns out they cleaned the body before anyone could find out."
"Were you able to get the information necessary from him?" I asked and she took out a USB. "Everything you need is in here. Taking over the mafia team is quite challenging..."
"That's no worry. I was born to defeat them anyway. You did a good job. I should reward you." I rose and leaned closer to her. "Shouldn't I?" Unlike Elena, she didn't flinch. She was tough, I had to give her that. Then I moved closer. "What do you want?" I asked and she slowly looked at me like I was asking for too much. I cocked a brow. "You don't want anything?"
"You act as if you don't know what it is I want." Bingo, there she was. I straightened.
"I see...that. Well, I can't give that to you and I've told you a thousand and one reasons why." She moved closer to me. "Derek." She called but I stepped back.
"We have benefits and that's exactly what we agreed on. Nothing else. There's no changing that. And it's 'boss' to you." I stated firmly.
"You can't keep doing this to me. If this is how you want it then we can't continue with the benefits."
"That's funny isn't it, because the moment I touch you." I gripped her ass and whimpered and I smirked. "That's what I thought, you can't resist me. You want me." I stated in a low tone and noticed her hands clench and unclench. She knew I was right.
"It's because of her isn't it?" She questioned.
"Get your mind off her. I don't want you harming her like you did to my ex."
"We both know she deserved it. She stabbed you in the back twice and you allowed it. Your cover would have been blown but you didn't care. Then she cheats on you even after the pain she caused you and you still went for her even when all the red flags were there. You're a totally different person when you love Derek and I know it. And I'm the only one who can cherish that love because I've been with you for fifteen years. I know you. I know when you're in pain even when you don't show it. I've always been there for you. Can't you just at least for once, notice me?" I stepped towards her, slowly and she slowly took steps backwards till she was sitting on the bed. My voice became low as I stared at the space between her legs. She was wearing leggings but that part of her, I had to admit was my favourite part.
"You see..." I began, rubbing her thighs.
They were lean but attractive, but it couldn't get the image of Elena's off my head. Her thick ass and thigh caught my attention all over again. But I forced myself to focus on the present.
"I like you. But it's mainly business that goes on between the both of us. I don't want you spoiling that by bringing in your emotions." My hands touched wetness. I could see it in her silver-grey pants. I rubbed the part a little bit and could tell that she was aching. "Do you understand?" I raised my gaze and she looked down at me with little sighs escaping her lips. I leaned towards her as I spread her legs apart and saw how juicy she was. My mind kept wandering to Elena's. Her pussy was damn wet and tight. I could only imagine how it would be filling her up completely.
Augusta and I had never kissed, I wanted nothing as intimate as that and anything that would cause chemistry between the both of us. I pulled her trousers down and kissed her opening before sucking her. She let out a series of moans and gasps even bringing her hips closer to my face. It was short because I knew she had other things to say, she could suck my dick later.
"You have a visitor." She announced, changing the topic.
"Who's that?"
"It's one of our allies." She pulled her leggings back up while I wore a shirt and walked out of my room and down the stairs to see this visitor. He was a really good actor, I had to say.
"I have matters to discuss with you."
"And that's what Leo?"
