Twisted Boss (Dark Romance Series) (2 page)

“Hey wait a minute I have a plane to catch.”

“You won’t be on that flight Miss. Hendricks.”

I eyed the man seated next to me as he stared straight ahead. It was evident that he was not in a good mood by his stoic profile. He began speaking as he turned and coldly eyed me with his black eyes, and even though he was calm, I felt a chill course through me.

“You and I both know that Images was not your idea, my partner helped you come up with that.”

Oh shit.

I was grateful that I was seated because I knew that if I had been standing I would have felt the room spin.

I had sorely underestimated this situation. To put it bluntly I had not known that Jack had a partner.

“It isn’t like I did anything wrong, Mr. whatever your name is.”

“My name is James Madden and that will be Mr. Madden to you now that you are going to be working for me.”

That pissed me off and I no longer cared about manners.

“I don’t work for anyone, James!”

Faster than I could even see it coming he lunged in my direction and grabbed me by my throat. His face was within inches of mine and his voice had become some sort of feral growl.

“Listen to me you thieving little bitch. You stole from me and I don’t take kindly to someone fucking me without kissing me first. I have my Lawyer on speed dial waiting to hear if I want to press charges against you. What you are going to do is go and get on my plane and fly back to Louisville Ky with me. You work for me now!”

I was baffled, scared, confused and at a loss for not only words, but actions. That never happens to me; ever!

After a very long pause of glaring at one another I pulled out my phone and dialed my assistant. “Catch your flight home. I am on another flight, something came up.”

“Oh, Mr. Talk, dark and dangerous?”

I glared right at James as I spoke, “No Mr. Rude, uptight and bastardly.”

“Oh……K……..Doesn’t sound good.”

“It isn’t.”

Needless to say the rest of the trip was spent in silence. I found myself being very grateful for the fact that we were in Cincinnati and this would be a short trip home.

What have I gotten myself into?

James

  Watching that bitch sweat on the way home made my cock hard.

If she thought that she was sweating then, well she hadn’t seen anything yet.

I sat behind my desk eyeing her, “You are a cutthroat little bitch. Jack Beardsley isn’t even cold in the ground yet and you have taken over. Now you have two choices: you either agree to what I say, or your little thieving ass goes to jail today.”

“I didn’t know……”

“Shut up, Amanda! You work for me now! 51% of that company is mine. You don’t make any decisions without my knowledge. You report here for work at 9:00am every morning Monday-Friday and you go home when I say that you can. Oh, and the best part of this little deal is…….”

I rose from my seat and made my way over to her chair and leaned down and whispered in her ear, “The best part of this is, that I have a new fuck buddy.”

“You can’t sexually harass me!”

“Its blackmail sweetie and I just did.”

“You bastard!”

“You have no idea. Go home. You are going to need to be rested up for tomorrow. Oh, but before you go, you need to sign these.”

I made my way to my desk drawer and produced the papers that gave me 51% of Images.

“I need for my lawyer to see these,” I stated biding for some time.

As if reading my mind he spoke, “You’re biding for time Amanda. Sign the papers, or go to jail.”

I reluctantly………. Signed my life away………..

I made my way behind her chair and placed my hands on her shoulders. “Don’t turn around, just listen. I’m looking forward to burying myself deep into that thieving little pussy of yours and there isn’t a damn thing that you can do about it. I don’t take kindly to thieves and I have every intention of teaching you a lesson that you won’t soon forget.”

“I didn’t know that he had an agreement with you, the papers were not signed and it wasn’t in his will, James.”

“Liar, I saw you the day that you went to his office and cleaned out all traces of Images. You have sorely underestimated your opponent.”

“Fine, take 51% of the company but leave sex out of it.”

“No! You work perfectly for me. I can fuck you with no emotional ties. You know- friends with benefits, but in our case it will be enemies with benefits. You are a sneaky little bitch and I don’t like you.”

I grabbed a handful of her hair and roughly jerked her head back, “You are perfect for ‘angry sex.’ Every time that I look into that pretty little face of yours while I’m pile driving that sweet little slit between your legs; it will meet a need in me. I have an aggressive side and you young lady are the perfect little victim for me to take it out on. Now go home!”

I had to stifle a laugh as I watched her almost trip over her four inch heels going out the door.

I sat down behind my desk and interlocked my fingers behind my neck as I let my mind wander.

I could have any woman that I wanted. There was never a shortage of women throwing themselves at me. The problem was: that they wanted me to secure their social status. They were women who craved being in the lime light. They wanted to run in the circles of the upper echelon and they saw me as a means to an end.

At least with Amanda I knew what I was getting and there would be no emotional ties. Yes, Amanda could satisfy the animalistic side of me that needed release. In fact, I could take out all my frustrations on her, because I had every intention of humiliating her in my bed; I had every intention of fucking her like a dirty little whore, my dirty little whore.

Amanda

       I sat on the bed doing research on my new found nemesis. Over and over I beat myself up, how in the world could I have let a detail this major slip by without me knowing it? I can’t say that I was totally in the dark, but what I did know was that those papers between the two business men had not been signed. All they had was a verbal agreement. What I had failed to discover was the paper trail on that verbal agreement. I had been playing beat the clock and I lost.

Every detail that I was able to drudge up against James only made me more leery.

The nicknames that he had been dubbed were a clear sign that I was in over my head. ‘The shark,’ ‘Venom,’ ‘board room bastard,’ on and on they went and the end message was that James always came out on top.

I shook my head and cleared the thought of having to have sex with him out of my thought process. It wasn’t that the guy wasn’t gorgeous, I’m sure that getting women was not a problem for James at all. James scared me; he scared me because I knew deep down inside that what he said about angry sex was the truth and I had always had a weakness for that; though I had never been privy to it. Being ‘taken’ had always been a fantasy and now I was being presented with the opportunity to act out that fantasy; something about the idea of acting out that fantasy with James, scared the shit out of me. It scared me because it excited me.

As far as I was concerned there was no threat of me falling for him emotionally because he was too much of a bastard. Even though that wasn’t a threat I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of my body responding to him.

I finished off my wine and made my way to bed.

Amanda

           I made my way into work the next day to a flurry of my office being moved into James’s.

“I’m not moving in here and how the hell did you get into my office to move things here?”

“I own the building where you rent your office space,” he smugly stated.

“Well you don’t own me.”

He leaned in towards me, “Well technically I do. Let’s just say that if you had a set of balls, I have you by them right now.”

“Charmed I’m sure, James.”

“Oh it is going to be fun breaking you down, Amanda.”

“Good luck with that.”

“I don’t need luck. I have the capability of outwitting you in any arena.”

“Game on,” I hissed.

This guy was beginning to piss me off with his arrogance.

“I am not in agreement to any of this.”

“I couldn’t care less. It isn’t about what you want anymore Amanda. It is about what I permit you to have. The first thing that you need to do is get on the phone and let your clients know that you have moved and you have a new number.”

“I hate you!”

“So soon in the game Amanda, I’m just getting started.”

The rest of the afternoon was spent on the phone with clients informing them that my location had been changed.

By the time that lunch rolled around, I was ready for a break. I reached around grabbing my purse and my new Boss informed me that I would be accompanying him to lunch. I was only into half of my work day and I already hated my job.

Amanda

          I sat across the table eyeing James and trying to work an angle on getting out of his office. “I’m concerned about what people are going to think about me being in your office. I don’t want people thinking that I am sleeping with the boss.”

“Why not, you’re my slut?”

“Excuse me,” I shrieked.

“You heard me, you are my slut.”

I leaned over towards him and said “whoops,” as I purposely knocked over the large glass of water seated in front of him.

I calmly got up and made my way over to the waitress. “My boss spilled his water, would you mind helping him? Oh, and he will be picking up the check.”

I made my way out to get a cab.

The cabbie pulled up and out of nowhere James appeared beside me grabbed my arm, “The lady has a ride.”

He threw a fifty dollar bill at the cabbie, “That should cover it.”

“Thank you, Sir.”

I sat in the car with my arms folded and glaring ahead until he pulled in front of his condo.

“What are we doing here?”

“Well Amanda, I can’t very well go back to work like this. We wouldn’t want people to know about our little lover’s spat now would we?”

“Fine, I will wait here in the car.”

James breathed in deeply to try and ward off some of the stress that he was feeling. “You are trying my patience, Amanda.”

I got out of the car and ignoring any reserve that I had about going into this man’s home.

He spoke to the doorman and we made our way up to his penthouse in silence.

James

               As soon as she crossed my threshold I pinned her to the wall.

“That nasty little temper of yours has gotten you into trouble little girl. Normally I like to wine and dine a lady before I fuck her, but you are not a lady. Remember what I said about angry sex, well you have pushed all of my buttons.”

I dragged her into my bedroom and tossed her onto my bed, “Don’t you dare move!”

I restrained her with long scarves that I had previously tied to the four poster bed knowing that I would be bringing her here.

“What are you going to do to me?”

“I’m going to train you like you are my slave, discipline you like you are my child and fuck you like you are my dirty little whore. Now let’s see what you are hiding beneath that business attire.”

“Oh you are beautiful,” I could literally feel my breath hitch somewhere deep in my chest as I undressed her. She was stunning. I place my mouth over a nipple and alternated suctioning and flicking my tongue over it. I could feel her already beginning a dance with the restraints as little mews escaped her lips. I began to lick and lightly chew my way down her abdomen and scooted her skirt up revealing the black g-string that she wore. I twisted it in my hands removing it.
