“This isn’t a game to me. I care about your sister. You can fire me. You can pull Mia under your wing or whatever, but I won’t stop pursuing her until she tells me to stop.”
Max slammed his fist on the desk. “What the hell is up with you? I’ve never seen you act like this. After all these years, you’ve never shown any interest in my sister before, so why now? Why Mia?”
I had wondered that myself. Ever since the wedding and especially the after-party, I was experiencing a realm of feelings and emotions toward her that I had kept hidden for years. All I could think of was how her tight, virgin pussy contracted on my fingers in an orgasm when I had her against the tree in the park. Hell, she was responsive. Her final words of ‘Let me know when you’re ready’ challenged me to act on my attraction to her.
It had been almost four weeks since the wedding and I wanted her to give in to me, to regret she had been giving me the cold shoulder since the after-party. She was starting to lose it and about to crumble. From the day she started working with me at the resort, I had deliberately teased her and tempted her at every opportunity. She tried to avoid her attraction to me. It was as if she was a completely different woman to the one who had come on to me at the wedding. This made me question if she was tipsy on Sinclair wine. Did she even remember she propositioned me?
“Man, your sister is the most infuriating woman I’ve ever met. What the hell happened to the sweet, young girl I knew? She argues with me at every opportunity, and fuck me if I don’t get a hard-on when she tells me to go to Hell,” I admitted, almost regretting my words at the anger on Max’s face.
“Jesus Christ, Zane, this is my baby sister you’re talking about. I do not want to hear that you are pitching a tent for my sister,” Max said through gritted teeth.
“I’m being honest here. You asked me why, so I’m fucking telling you. I’ve never seen this side of her before, this feisty side. She threatens to castrate me and I start drooling. Damn, she’s getting under my skin, and I can’t figure it out. But until I do, I won’t let up. She wants me; she’s just fighting it. I scare her.” I rubbed my jaw and thought for a second. “Or maybe now she’s thought about it, the idea of being with me scares her.”
“What do you mean, ‘now that she has thought about it’? My sister doesn’t scare easily. Did something happen I should know about, ‘cause if you’ve touched my sister, especially the way I know you touch women, I’m going to be fucking pissed,” Max said angrily. “But you’re right. She’s been watching you like a caged lioness and she can be damned mean when put in an uncomfortable situation. Be careful, or she’ll have you for dinner.”
Do I tell Max his little sister came on to me at his wedding and propositioned me? Fuck it, I’ve had enough of all these lies. It’s now or never.
“I told you she wants me, and yeah, I admit we had a little interlude at the wedding.” I held up my hand to control Max as he was ready to pounce on me. “Don’t get all hot-headed about it. It was all innocent and I didn’t take it any further. Your sister is upset that I rejected her, and she’s been giving me the cold shoulder ever since. She’s probably embarrassed more than scared, or she was worried about what you and your brothers would do,” I pointed out.
It was time to make a deal with the devil. “I’m thinking I have a solution on how to please everyone around here so we can work harmoniously.”
Max drummed his fingers on the desk for several seconds before saying, “I’m listening.”
“That Security and Information Technology Convention in Queensland is coming up,” I stated, referring to one of the biggest information technology conventions in the country. Businesses from all over the world attended to view new, cutting-edge security technologies for their businesses. It was only a week away. “Let me take Mia with me as my assistant. If at the end of the business trip, she’s still resisting my irresistible charms, I’ll back off. I’ll move on.”
“This convention is in North Queensland, in Port Douglas. You and Mia alone for a week at a secluded Brunetti Resort? If you think I’ll agree to this, you’re insane. I don’t like it and I won’t allow it.”
“Oh, come on, Max. I think you want Mia to be happy. Don’t you want harmony back in the office? Let me do it. I can cut it back to three days instead of the whole week. I promise it will make a difference.” Max got out of his chair and paced his office.
From the look on Max’s face, I was almost afraid he’d fire my arse on the spot. He had every right to do it, too. So I was surprised when Max said, “If Mia wants to go, I won’t stop her. But it’s her choice, not yours. I won’t have you forcing her to go because you are her boss. You got it?”
