Attracted to her

(Alana)

“Here, it's a bit cold…have some coffee,” Felix said and placed a coffee mug on the desk. I glanced at him and nodded with a smile.

“Thanks, Felix… you should get going now,” I said with a smile, hoping he wouldn't bother with me. It was late, I asked Dennis to let me stay for a bit longer, and he agreed. Felix suggested staying as well. I saw how he was glancing at his watch now and then.

“No, I can't leave you here… I'll drive you home once you are done,” he said with a grin and sat down across my desk. I didn't want that. I could see he had somewhere to go.

“That won't be necessary, I'll take a long time…you should leave I'm sure you have somewhere to go,” it was best he left, I didn't want him driving me home and seeing where I lived. Felix seemed to have understood my point, he was hesitant, but when he glanced at his watch one more time. He agreed.

“Fine, but if you need a ride…just call me, and please don't stay for long…” he said, shoving the hot coffee mug to me and I picked it up and took a sip just to assure him. He was such a great man. Although his affection was getting wasted on the wrong person

“Don't worry, I'll be fine,” I said, waving him off. He nodded and picked up his coat and phone. Felix said goodbye and left the office. I finally had some time to work on everything without any distractions. I knew Ricardo had probably gone home.

Focusing on my work, I completely forgot about everything and only engaged in finishing my work.

When Felix left Alana's office, he decided to see if anyone was around when he nearly bumped into Ricardo. His boss was pacing around making coffee.

“Hello sir,” Felix said with a bow and Ricardo, hearing him, turned around and nodded. His expression held no emotions. Felix smiled helplessly, wondering why his boss was still around. Mainly he left early, but here he was pacing restlessly near his secretary's office.

“Sir, is everything okay…do you need anything?” Felix asked hesitantly, only to receive a death glare from his boss. Felix immediately regretted the question.

“If you are done, leave,” Ricardo said coldly and walked away from there. He thought his secretary and wife were alone, but it seemed she had company. As Ricardo left from there. Felix glanced at Alana's office. He was even more confused. His boss was acting strange. Shrugging helplessly, Felix left as well.

Back in Ricardo's office, he was restless, even the coffee he took turned bitter and tasteless.

“Did she stay this late to flirt with other men?” He wondered disdainfully, recalling how his employee was busy forcing himself on his wife. Ricardo slammed his fist on the table and glanced at the minibar he installed in his office. It was just to hold a few drinks, if ever he had acquaintances who took delight in drinking.

He gave up taking liquor if he knew he would be driving; hence he gave up the idea of pouring himself a glass of champagne.

He decided to do some work, it took a while and when he was done. He glanced at his wristwatch, and it was nearly 10 pm.

“Dammit, I'm sure she's done… or is she planning to sleep here,” he muttered, grabbed his car keys and coat and turned off the lights before leaving. Even if, she wasn't done. He was going to force her.

Upon reaching Alana's office. Ricardo was a little hesitant to get in, but when he found the door slightly open. He peeked inside to see if she was there, and yes. His wife had her head resting on the desk.

Ricardo pushed the door open and walked in. Alana didn't move, she was sleeping. The entire table had files scattered all over, as well as some papers.

“Foolish woman,” Ricardo muttered, feeling irritated with her. He made sure to clear the desk and packed everything away when he decided to carry her. She was sleeping, it would be a shame to wake her up.

Ricardo reached his hand for her hair and slowly attempted to push it off her face. Alana stirred in her sleep and mumbled something, she tossed and turned and ended up grabbing Ricardo's hand.

“Don't leave me… I'll be an a-a good girl," Alana kept mumbling and snuggling his hand below her chin. Her parted lips brushed on his skin. Ricardo swallowed hard as he kept his eyes on her. She looked innocent, looking at her pink lips, he recalled tasting them. For goodness's sake, why couldn't he keep his hand to himself? He found himself caressing her cheeks, her skin was smooth. A little dry due to stress. The urge to lower down and kiss her kicked in. Ricardo couldn't resist planting a soft kiss on her cheek. As if getting the satisfaction he wanted.

“Mm,” Alana stirred again, this time she moved her hand and her fingers brushed against Ricardo's lips. And when her eyes flew open. Alana nearly jumped out of her seat when Ricardo caught her in time.

“It's late, time to go,” he muttered calmly, Alana was confused and sleepy. She stared at him with a blank expression.

“Am I dreaming? Sir, are you here,” she mumbled and reached for his face. Pinched his cheeks and ran her fingers on his nose and lips. Ricardo didn't move. The girl was an entirely different person when sleepy

“Okay, that's enough,” Ricardo said, shaking his head, and removed his hand and slipped his arm around her back and pushed her up enough to cradle her in his arms. She didn't say a word, but closed her eyes and went into a deep sleep to hear what was happening.

Effortlessly, Ricardo lifted her off the chair and carried her in his arms. The entire time, he ignored how she slipped her hand into his coat and snuggled to his chest. For some reason his heart was beating loudly, he felt scared to feel so restless. Glancing at Alana, Ricardo secured her in his arms and walked away. He left the office having in mind he would never do such a thing for any woman. He didn't even think he would let any woman have the pleasure of getting access to him.

When Ricardo disappeared, two shadows emerged from the darkness: it was Felix and beside him was Eva. Both had seen what happened in Alana's office. The two exchanged questionable glances.

“You see, I told you that girl isn't as innocent as she seems,” Eva scoffed disdainfully, she told everyone around Alana was a cunning fox. He was seducing the boss and no one believed me.

“We can't judge okay, I'm sure she isn't like that,” Felix said defensively, yes he saw what his boss did there. But Alana was sleeping, it was their boss touching her.

“They say she's married… I wonder if her husband knows what's happening… I'm certain this is what she does, seduce her boss,” Eva said sarcastically, and Felix's hands clenched tightly. She didn't blame Alana, he blamed his boss. He claimed to be innocent, but he was a complete pervert.

“Leave it, and don't say this to anyone,” Felix glared at her and left from there. Eva scoffed disdainfully,

“Of course, I won't, everyone has to hear what that woman is up to… I'll expose her,” Eva remarked bitterly, knowing full well. She would make Alana regret it. She was nothing, and the boss was attracted to her.

Meanwhile, Ricardo was finding it hard to drive the car when Alana had placed her head on his chest, despite trying to make her sit on her own.
