Fear the Boss(26)

By:Sam Crescent


As he opened the door, Lydia looked up and glared.

He stepped inside and waited for Donna to turn around.

Seconds passed, and she looked over her shoulder. The blue of her eyes shot anger toward him.

“Lydia, deal with him, will you?” Donna turned back to her chart.

“Come near me, bitch, and I will hurt you,” Caleb said.

He didn’t give Lydia a second glance and walked up close to Donna.

“You’re invading my space.”

“I’ve given you a week to calm down.”

She chuckled. “I’m not calm, Caleb. Leave before this gets ugly.” Donna kept her head bent over the chart she was looking at.

She was pissed, but he was a master at getting what he wanted.#p#分页标题#e#

Caleb stood too close, and she was still pissed at him. Her traitorous body didn’t care though. All her body cared about was how he’d feel pounding inside her like he had that one day they were together. Late at night her dreams were filled of him and only him.

He invaded her thoughts when she didn’t want him there and pissed her off because all she wanted to do was forget about him.

Licking her lips, she pressed the end of the pen to her lip as she read the same set of numbers three times in a row. He hadn’t moved away from her.

His large body covered her as he closed in around her.

“I’m not going anywhere.”

She looked up at him. “What do you want?”

“Have you gotten your period yet?”

Glaring at him, she shook her head. “No, I haven’t. Thanks for reminding me how much I hate you.”

Pushing past him she signaled to Lydia that she was going in the back. Anything that put distance between them she was thankful for.

The door hadn’t closed, and Caleb followed her through.

“You can’t be here,” she said, placing the chart on the table beside her.

“I’m not leaving.”

“Let me guess, you’re not leaving until you get what you want.”

“It’s the way I work.”

Turning her head, she stared at the wall while she thought of what to say to him. “You’re an asshole,” she said.

“I know.”

Gritting her teeth, she took a step away. “You’re wasting your time.”

“I can’t get you out of my mind, Donna. I’ve been with a lot of women. I lost count of the number of women I’ve fucked and forgotten. I can fuck all of them, and yet none of them left me feeling like this.” He placed a hand on the wall, trapping her against his body and the desk. “You’re different. It has been a week, and I can’t look at another woman without thinking about you.”

“You used me. You disrespected me and my body.” Tears filled her eyes as she thought about it. She didn’t know if it was the right time of the month.

“Whatever happens I’ll take care of it.”

“I won’t have an abortion.”

“I wasn’t suggesting an abortion. You’re not killing any kid of mine.”

Tears fell down her cheeks, and she wiped them away. “You don’t get it. When I was going to get pregnant, I had every intention of being married and in love with that man.”

He paused, staring at her.

“I know, it was a stupid, girly fantasy, but it was what I wanted.” She laughed even though she wasn’t finding anything funny. “My parents were in love. I wanted what they had, and you’ve taken that away from me.”

She dropped her hands to her side.

“Donna?”

“No, you’ve taken that away from me because even if I’m pregnant I know you’re not going to marry me, and not only that, I don’t want you to marry me out of pity. There is no love between us, Caleb.”

She backed away until the edge of the desk stopped her. He invaded the last few inches of personal space she had.

“I’ll marry you if it will make you feel better. Don’t shut me out.”

“I don’t want to be around you, Caleb. You’re poison, and I can’t have that in my life.” He stayed close even as she insulted him.

Swallowing past the lump in her throat, he nodded.

“Fine. I’ll give you space to work, but I’m not going away. I’ll be here when you get off work at five.” He wheeled around and left her alone.#p#分页标题#e#

Glancing through the glass partition she saw him leave the shop. Opening the door, she found Lydia waiting for her.

“What was all that about?” Lydia asked.

“He wants to see me again.” She’d wiped the tears from her face before Caleb left. Lydia wouldn’t know she’d shed a tear.

“Did something happen between the two of you?”
