Uncontrollable Tempration

I remembered when his wound was still fresh. The image of him kissing another blonde girl also came to my mind and that was enough to clear the lust that had clouded my brain at the moment. I stopped myself from kissing him immediately before he noticed.

“Good night Sophia.” He said, oblivious to what I was about to do.

“Good night” I told him too.

I can’t believe I was just about to kiss him! I should be running away from him because at the end of the day, he’s a player and he will always remain a player! I’m the one who’ll end up with the broken heart.

He has so many girls on his plate and I refuse to be one of them.

Sometime later, his breathing became even and his hold around me loosened. I carefully pulled away from him, making sure to not wake him up by accident. When I got him off me, I stood up from the bed. Mr Wilson was still fast asleep so I took that as my queue to go.

I turned on my heels and left.

Adam Wilson

I woke up to an empty bed which was quite perturbing. Sophia was not beside me like she was when I fell asleep or maybe she left in the morning. I checked the time on my phone and it was 8:45am. The meeting is not until 12pm so I still had enough time.

I got up after a good night sleep which I haven’t had in weeks until now. The reason why I slept well last night was because I had Sophia in my arms. I knew having her with me was the solution to my sleepless nights since she was the cause of them in the first place.

Last night, I confided in the doctor and told him the reason for my lack of sleep. It was all because of her! I told him about how much I am dying for Sophia. I swear I’ve never wanted to make love to one woman so badly in my life. And the more she resists me, the more I want her! It’s like she’s torturing me on purpose!

When she wasn’t around, I almost went crazy. Now that she’s around, she won’t let me touch her! And seeing her in her skimpy outfits are only whetting my appetite for her.

It was the doctor’s idea to try and have her see me to bed comfortably but I took the extra mile by telling her to stay completely. And hell, I enjoyed every moment of her company.

She felt so good beside me that if I wasn’t sick, I would have done things to her that a healthy, virile and oversexed male would do to any woman in his arms like that. I was so tempted but I didn’t have the strength for it.

Thankfully, I’m completely better now. My temperature is normal and the discomfort is gone.

I headed straight to the bathroom to freshen up. I shaved the stubble which was now growing on my chin but I left a little bit of moustache on. I brushed and showered and got ready for the day. I put on a white shirt and a navy blue suit I remember getting from Emporio Armani. This was one of my best suits because it fitted perfectly. I topped it up with a red tie.

I arranged all my files and important documents that I will be using today into my briefcase and closed it. I put on my shoes and watch, checking the time in the process. It was 9:50am.

Time was slowly leaving our side.

I came out of the room to see Sophia all dressed up in a plain black dress that hugged her figure perfectly. Her hair was let down which she rarely did until recent and she wore black lace-up heels.

Damn this woman!

Does she have to look this sexy for the meeting? There are a lot of men going to be attending this and I don’t want any of them looking at her!

I made my way over to her. She was on the dining table arranging some food. I watched her in silence as she set the table for a breakfast meal. When she was done she turned around with a smile on her face. That smile only lasted for a second until she saw me, then it dropped.

“Mr Wilson, good morning. How are you feeling today?”

“Never better. Good morning to you too.” I said taking a seat on one of the chairs.

“I ordered you breakfast. An almost healthy one. Look, here are some fruits and yoghurt for you, still-cut oatmeal with potatoes as a side. With this you’ll drink some Japanese green tea.” She pointed them out to me as she said it.

I wanted to barf.

“You don’t expect me to eat this. I have a presentation, I need proper food.”

“This is proper food. You need to hurry so we won’t be late.” She sat down opposite me and I looked at her plate.

She had steak and eggs with smoked bacon with a cup of latte. I was so jealous.

I managed to ingest the food but I felt like I had an acid reflux after.

“Come on, its not that bad. It was just oatmeal.” She said while we walked downstairs to the taxi, taking us to Sytner Group’s newest site.

“That’s safe for you to say. You didn’t even taste it.” I said and she laughed. “Next time, order something I can eat.”

“Okay.” She smiled before getting into the taxi.

We drove to the Michigan branch. It was decent for a start-up. Since we arrived at 11:30pm, we used 30 minutes to set up in their conference room. Once everything was in order, the meeting kicked off by 12pm.

I did all the talking while Sophia distributed the hand outs and took a seat amongst the clients.

I opened the presentation only to find that everything had completely changed. I scowled at Sophia knowing what she did. Was my work really that bad? She had changed the whole thing when she only promised to make ‘minor corrections’.

The conference table was filled with men and all couldn’t keep their eyes off Sophia, especially one in particular. He sat right in front of her and kept glancing at her. I tried to keep my cool and pretend like I didn’t see him but I wanted to kill the bastard.

At a point, Sophia noticed he was looking at her so he smiled and she smiled back. I tried my hardest to ignore but I could feel my anger flaring up. I decided to turn away and complete the presentation without any distractions.

“In the security sector we offer the best solutions to companies in various fields like Emergency management, Protection of critical infrastructure, Border surveillance and protection, Intelligence systems and Information and communications systems. For this purpose we provide image and audio analysis services, command and control systems, intelligence systems and cyber-security solutions. I would be going through these one after the other.”

After about two hours, I finished presenting.

“Anyone with questions can ask me now for the benefit of others, or see me privately.”

“About the Image and audio analysis systems, what types of videos does it cover?” Someone asked.

“I’m sorry I forget to mention that. It includes biometry, behavior analysis and intelligent video. Anyone else?”

I took a few more questions before calling the meeting to an end, only for a lot of people to come to me for private questions.

I answered and explained a lot of concepts to them personally. They all seemed very interested in the functions of the security systems and I was happy.

When I was done answering questions, I looked for Sophia. I spotted her at a corner with that bastard that was getting on my nerves throughout the meeting. They were talking and laughing and he was way too close to her. I watched them closely and saw him whispering something in her ear. Sophia blushed at what he said and he put his hand on her face. Thats when I lost it. The possessive beast inside me took over.

Like an animal on instinct, I dashed over to them.

“Sophia, a word.” I said harshly, glaring at the bastard. He just looked at me with wide eyes.

I didn’t want to cause a scene so I took Sophia to another room with nobody in it.

“Who was that you were talking to?” I tried my best to stay calm.

“His name is Mr Kinsley, he’s one of the department managers.”

“And what were you guys talking about?”

“What do you mean?” She winced at me.

“I saw you two chitchatting. Was it in anyway related to what I discussed at the meeting?”

“No…”

“So why are you talking to him!”

“Are you jealous?”

“Stay away from him Sophia. He doesn’t look like a man with good intentions.” I said and she laughed.

“How can you judge someone from their looks? You haven’t even spoken to him before so you don’t know him. I’ve spoken to him and he’s really nice and funny and very-”

“Sophia! Trust me, he’s doing all that to get into your pants!” I said.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“If that’s true then I should stay away from you too, because you’re no different!” She screamed.

What?!

“You think I just want to get into your pants too?!”

“Yes.” She nodded confidently.

Well… technically I do want to get into her pants as well. Oh god I want to, so fucking badly! But that’s not all I want. To be honest, I’m still not sure how much I want from Sophia but I want a lot more than just to sleep with her.

“If that’s all I wanted, I would have done so a long time ago.” I said to her honestly.

“You arrogant jerk! What more could you possibly want from me?!” She yelled.

“I don’t fucking know! All I know is I want you! Only you! And I know you want me too so just say it for fucks sake! We could both figure out what we want together!” I made my way towards her and tried to hold her in my arms but she moved away.

“You’re wrong! I’m not saying anything because I don’t want you! You’re no different from that man! In fact, you’re so much worse because you’re also a liar!”

“But when have I ever lied to you?!”

“Don’t you dare come close to me!”

I kept moving closer to her and she kept moving backwards until she hit the wall. I enclosed her, putting both of my arms beside her. She had nowhere to go now.

“Mark me Sophia. Someday you will belong to me.” I whispered carefully in her ear. “I won’t stop until you’re mine, even if I have to break down all the walls you’ve built around yourself before you finally come to terms with your desire for me. And when you become mine, I will make love to you.”

She gasped.

“Yes, I will make sweet and passionate love to you. I will set your whole body on fire in a way that you’ve never experienced before, make you feel things you’ve never felt before, make you scream in a voice you’ve never heard before. Someday, you will be in my arms and I will pleasure every inch of you. And you’re going to enjoy every single second of our lovemaking because no matter how hard you try to deny it, deep down that’s what you really want. And you will wish you hadn’t fought the passion between us by leading on other men. You can waste precious time by avoiding me now but trust me Sophia, that day will come. I swear to you.”

I pulled back and looked into her eyes showing her that I meant every single word I said. She looked like she couldn’t believe I just said that to her.

“You bastard!” A heavy slap landed on my face and she pushed me away.

Damn. I rubbed my palm on my face that stung slightly.

“Don’t you ever talk to me like that again!” She screamed before she stormed out of the room.

What I said to her was nothing but the truth and she knew it, I was only giving her a heads up.

I might has come across as disrespectful but fuck it, I had to say it. One day, Sophia will surrender to me.

But not today. Right now she’s upset and that’s the last thing I wanted her to feel right now. Things were shaping up last night and this morning but I think I just blew it.

I kicked the table in front of me so hard that it toppled over. I was beyond frustrated with her, myself, and everything in general.

I went back to the conference room but Sophia was not there. I stormed over to blockhead she was talking to earlier on.

“Where is Sophia?!” I barked at him.

“She just took a taxi home.” He said in an annoying voice. I had the urge to punch him but he was too irrelevant.

I took the elevator down, trying to catch up with her. The moment I came out of the building, I saw her taxi leaving.

“Fuck.”

I really wanted to punch something right now. This was all that morons fault, Kinston, Kingley or whatever his name was! If he had just stayed away from her! Maybe I should go back up and punch him real hard.

“You alright?” I heard someone say beside me.

I looked, recognising the person to be one of the men form the meeting earlier. He was probably a board of director as well.

“Yeah, I’m good.” I lied.

“Doesn’t seem so. You just were just swearing.” He said reaching into his pocket and bringing out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

“Well, I’m having a minor issue. Nothing too important.”

“Anything a smoke can fix?” He had a stick in his mouth, lighting it up.

I hadn’t smoked in years. I found it to be a disgusting habit and very unhealthy too. But right now, I didn’t care anymore. I felt down in the dumps and I needed some sort of stirring up.

“No, but I could use one.” I said. He handed me a stick and lit it up, then I smoked it.

“I must say, you’re very knowledgable in your field. That presentation was eye-opening.”

“You think so?” I felt flattered.

“Yeah. I’m Henry Fetcher by the way.” He extended his hand and I shook it.

“Adam Wilson, but you probably know that already.” I laughed.

“Say Adam, would you like to join us at the Casino Club this evening?” He invited.

“Oh yeah? What have they got?”

“Blackjack, Roulette, Poker…”

“Sounds alright. I need to take a break from the so called problem I’m having so I guess I’ll be there.”

“Awesome.”

This was the perfect way to distract myself
