“Its not what she’s going to do to you Ben that you should be worried about, now get your hands off her”
Instantly Kira felt herself being released
“Hey Craig….How are you….I was just chatting with your girlfriend” he said in a whinny voice before turning to her
“No harm done eh honey” he said winking at her before walking away.
She saw Craig glaring after him his face angry his eyes cold slits, before turning to look at her with concern
“You OK Kira” he asked softly. Kira still looking down at the floor nodded slightly still not looking up to meet his eyes
“What did he say” Craig continued seeing how upset she looked
Finally she raised her eyes to meet his gaze
“He just wanted to make sure that when you had finished with me that I had his number….. You know that I had someone else to move on to”
She got little satisfaction at the way he flinched
“I’ll kill him” he said ready to move towards the disappearing Ben
“Why Craig” she asked turning away herself
“Look around you half of the women here are mistresses. The play things of rich old men who put them up in nice apartments so that they can visit them when it suits them, he was only saying what many others are thinking…. After all you have a lousy reputation as far as women are concerned…everybody here sees me as your latest little play thing”
Craig shifted uncomfortably
“Your not my mistress” he said slowly, suddenly ashamed of what his plans had been. Kiras mouth curled into a sneer
“No, I’m not even that am I. Maybe we should get Ben back here and explain to him that if he really wants to bed me he should just go after one of my friends and blackmail me…. So much easier isn’t it Craig”
Kira couldn’t understand herself why she was so angry, the run in with Ben had been uncomfortable but nothing she couldn’t have handled. It was more to do with the sudden realisation that she was even less than a mistress to him and that in a couple of days her time would be up and she would be thrown back to the emptiness that had been her life since the last time he had thrown her aside. Kira suddenly felt crushed. The elation she had felt as they had joked and laughed that morning seemed a distant memory at the thought that she would soon be once more alone
Looking up she could see Craig frowning down on her his lips tight.
“What do you want me to say Kira” he asked “Would you have come with me if I hadn’t”
She shook her head knowing that she would never have gone with him had he not forced her
“I wanted you” he said softly “After two minutes alone with you in your room I knew two things, firstly that I wanted you and secondly that there was no way in hell that you would have gone anywhere willingly with me”
Kira looked at him intently
“Well I guess that you always get what you want don’t you Craig” she said coldly “and to hell with anyone else”
“It hasn’t seemed to be that hard for you” he said an icy edge to his voice. Kira lifted her chin defiantly at him
“It’s like you told me on the way over it would make the days go more pleasantly” she said glaring at him
Craig’s eyes opened in stunned surprise hearing his words thrown back at him, before with a sure look he shook his head
“No, I don’t think so Kira, nobody is that good a liar…nobody can make their body respond the way you did and not mean it” he said with certainty
“Really, because you’ve been calling me a liar since we first met” she said coldly, Turning away from him so that he wouldn’t see the tremor in her lips she threw back at him#p#分页标题#e#
“Well I guess you’ll never know will you Craig. You forced me here and in a couple of days I’ll be free of you”
For a few seconds there was silence between them. Finally in a softer voice Craig spoke
“OK Kira, if that’s really the way you feel then your free to go”
She twirled round quickly to look at him her heart beating wildly in her chest
“What do you mean” she asked suspiciously
“I mean that if that’s the way you feel then all you have to do is go out to the car and tell them to take you back to Bill” he said his face emotionless
“But what about ….”
“No strings, no provisos, you can be free of me right now” he said his mouth clenched tightly shut
“But if you decide you want to stay then I’ll be waiting for you over there” he said pointing to a small group of men behind her.
With that he turned on his heels and walked away from her without a further word.
