In Love With My Bully-Chapter 28: Leverage or Love?

Kissing Nita in her most intimate place wasn’t really about teaching her or pleasuring her entirely, it was for me. The taste of her, the way she needed me more, spiraled me into an overactive greed. I couldn’t get enough, I could spend hours down there. I held her thighs in place as she came undone once, twice on her way to thrice, she begged me, her voice a vibrating moan.

"Richard, please ---- Richard --- I need you,"

I leaned over her, her eyes glazed over and I was proud of my little firecracker for breaking down her walls for me, for letting herself experience the pleasure that I wasn’t even done introducing her to.

I entered into her, and she was so wet, I got no resistance. I got on my knees and placed her firmly around me, going in and out of her with a speed akin to a possessed man. Sweat poured out of both her bodies and her screams were loud enough to rouse the next-door neighbors.

She was grabbing everywhere and nowhere, confused and vulnerable. I slowed down so I could enjoy the last few seconds. I laid over her, my weight on my elbow, looked into her eyes, and made love to her until we both reached our goal.

Why did I suddenly feel the need to tell her how much I love her? My heart was speaking, but my mouth didn’t dare to move. How do I tell her to please spend the rest of her life with me, a man she was sandwiched with by circumstances?

Would she love me if we had gotten together some other way? Would she reconsider having my child?

"Richard?" she called with the voice of a very sexually satisfied woman.

"Uhm..." I answered lazily.

"I love you inside me right now, I wouldn’t choose anything else over this but we have an empire to run," she ran her fingers up and down my back.

I grunted in displeasure, "We need another honeymoon," I rolled out of bed reluctantly.

She chuckled, "You can’t have one, Mr. Numero. Not when you’re trying to show the board who is boss," she got out of bed and headed into the adjoining bathroom. I joined her a few minutes later, my excuse was to save water but I ended up taking her from behind, our only support; the bathroom walls.

We arrived at work and shared a few kisses in the elevator, she dropped off on her floor while I headed up. I wondered if it would be a great idea to bring her office to the top floor but the sharks around here would have another field day with that.

My assistant met me as soon as the elevator doors opened, I threw her a smile but I caught the worried look in her eyes.

"Miss Winters is waiting in your office sir," she said taking my briefcase and my jacket.

"Is everything alright?"

"We have a bit of a PR issue," she explained and I managed to stay composed.

"What department?"

"not a department sir. Its Mrs. Numero,"

I turned to face her instantly, what the hell! Not again! Are these people going to let her be? "My Mrs. Numero?"

She nodded affirmatively and I hurried into my office to find out what the problem could be. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

I met Mary sitting in the guest area in my office, her glasses reflecting the tiny words on the newspaper she was engrossed in.

"What the fuck is it this time Mary?" she stood up and gestured to my assistant to leave us. She handed me the newspaper and my head reeled when I caught a glimpse of the headline.

"Is this true, sir? I am asking so I can have a way to spin this story positively. But I need to know if to debunk or embrace. This ... is not good for the company image,"

I didn’t answer but strolled back to my desk and buzzed my assistant. "Get Martin in here... Now!"

"Mr. Numero..." Mary called.

"stop talking, Mary. Just stop talking. I will tell you what you need to know but please, stop talking," my composure was out the window. Why has Nita been the target of the press since we got together? It meant only one thing; someone was out to get her.

The office door opened and Nita stepped through heading toward me,

"Nita, I--- I am sorry about this,"

She threw her arms around me and hugged me, I was confused but I needed the peace I felt whenever I touched her. She whispered in my ear, calmly and assuredly.

"Do not let them see weakness. Hold steady."

I looked into her face, a feeling of love washing over me. At what point did I assume this woman was unbreakable, the little lady was stronger and fiercer than I was. Who would have thunk? I pulled her in and kissed her again, pouring my pride and love into the kiss.

We pulled apart and she turned to Mary, "Tell me what to do," her figure embodying her resolve not to let the drama get to her.

"I was just discussing with Mr. Numero. I need to have all the details of your marriage so I can figure out a way to spin this," Mary explained.

Nita gestured to the sofa for us all to seat and gave me a nod

"Well, it was an arranged marriage." I began taking a seat beside my wife and holding her hand in mine. "Our parents have been friends since childhood. They got together a few months ago and thought it would be a great idea for their kids to get married,"

"We are in enlightened times, Mr. Numero. Either one of you could have said no," Mary continued.

"The board needed me married. Everything I am, and everything I know is Numero Companies. I didn’t have time to go scouting for a bride. So I accepted," Her eyes shifted to Nita for her explanation.

"I accepted because it was good for my family. My dad was experiencing a setback in his business, I did what I thought would be good for my family," she explained.

"So the article didn’t lie..." Mary said, gesturing to the paper on the coffee table which the headline read in bold letters; Leverage or Love?: Benita Williams Traps Young Numero to Save Family from Bankruptcy!

Martin came in at that moment, nodding his head to acknowledge Mary’s presence.

"You called for me sir!" I held up my hand for him to hold on.

"Now you have all the information, what do we do?"

Mary smiled so wide, that I could see stars forming in her eyes. Myself and Nita shared a look wondering what her epiphany was.

"I’m going to make both of you look so good, the public will be eating out of your ass..."
