White Lies and Sweet Compromise( 𝐁𝐖𝐖𝐌💕)

Chapter 8

Deacon was not jesting when he told Wendy he had wanted to watch her in the meeting. This was nothing new for him. He had spent so many times for the last four years devouring her with his eyes as that was all he was capable of doing, until now.

For the past twenty-five minutes and going he has sat at the head of the huge mahogany table that was meant to seat twenty and feast on her captivating beauty.

He openly fastened his eyes on her and drank in her every movement, expression, and action.

When they had used his private elevator to take them up to the board room after they had left Evelyn in the inner office he had to remind himself that the show was over.

He had to let her go and he had to go back to being her boss. They had no one to persuade that they were head over heels and very much happily engaged.

His body longed to be close to her. All he wanted was to have her near and have a few of those steamy moments that they had on his desk. There was plenty of furniture in the lounge to get very close and personal with her.

He closed his eyes to shut out the images that came to mind as he thought of her and the furniture and the various ways he could take her in each and everyone but he tore them open when the images behind his closed eyes seemed too real.

"Are you alright?" he heard her ask as they stepped into the corridor that held the board room and a few offices for Senior members of Ffrench Commercial Enterprise.

He looked at her and smiled but said nothing as he led her to the board room. It was no use sharing with her the sexual frustration that was raging within him. He knew she was already under the pressure of having to spend a whole weekend pretending to be lovers and engaged lovers at that. The office too was now a stress in itself due to the many people who thought they had the right to address their engagement and relationship.

The meeting was well on the way to keeping within the schedule. Vincent Monty was giving a detailed review of the new house units that were established two months ago by their housing department he took the time to admire the way her white dress shirt fitted to the mounds of her full breasts. He heard as Vincent told of 65 per cent occupancy of the units thus far and how by the end of the next month that was looking to increase by thirty per cent from their purchasing records.

He listened as a few of the persons made queries and offered their sentiments but all that stood out for him was the image of her walking in front of him in her mustard-colored dress pants that had framed those butt cheeks he fantasized about more often than not.

He wished she was not sitting with her lower half tucked away under the table. He wanted to drink in the curvy details of her curvaceous frame to his heart's content.

He reluctantly looks away from her as he gives his input on a negative matter that was placed with a unit regarding a smoking occupant. He made a quick note on the notepad before him then turned to Millicent Wynters who dealt with the household chemical department and asked her to outlay what was the progress with the new fragrance of disinfectant that was in the previous month pulled from the market because of a pending lawsuit by an unsatisfied housewife.

"We have come to terms of settling the matter in court as she will not be persuaded to settle outside. It's however to compensate for the various matters she presented which we have already put in place a proposal to be dealt with. A copy is already before each of you for review and adjustment."

He was once again looking at Wendy who he was watching taking notes and tucking a loose strand of hair behind an ear that boasted three piercing looks enticing and seductive.

He needed to get out of there and find a distraction. This meeting was the least bit helpful in taking his mind off all the things he wanted to do with his sexy PA.

The meeting lasted another thirty minutes as he took the time to address the document he had Wendy sent to their email earlier. He asked them to read it in detail, take the time to process it then prepare all their views that will be taken into consideration in an upcoming meeting with the Board of Directors. The meeting was then adjourned.

The occupants took the time to congratulate him as well as Wendy on their engagement before they took their leave.

He had walked over to Wendy placed a hand on her shoulder and took each congratulation with a charming smile or a hearty handshake. He even saw it relevant to give her shoulder an affectionate rub. If she wasn't so dark in coloring she would be as red as a beetroot.

"You're enjoying this aren't you?" she accused getting up from where she sat and gathering her notepad and pen.

"I might as well Wendy as this is as close as I am going to get to enjoying you," he replied as her eyes darted away from him her cheeks flamed at his implications.

"And you better know it," she told him after she pulled herself together trying to appear unaffected.

"What would you do Wendy," he said moving closer to her so that she was pinned against the table, "If I were to make it my point of duty to enjoy you?"

The question was asked in a low voice that caused her body to react with the very effect he was aiming for. She tried to glare at him but all she could see was his eyes now dark grey like storm clouds staring at her hungry lips that ache for the kisses she so wanted him to take.

"I pride myself on being a sensible woman Mr. Ffrench so I am sure you'll find I don't fall trap to the same things twice."

She made to move away but he held her in place by pressing his body into her and staring into her eyes as he took her left hand into his.

"I too thought myself a very sensible man well capable of controlling the pace of my life and chartering my own course but look at me now in the space of a day engaged and being brought home to Mama."

When he let go of her hand her ring finger was sporting the most charming of white gold engagement ring. It had the customary pronged diamond but the circular frame had neat little hand design markings setting it apart from being typical.

She stared down at it and swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat. This was the second time her finger sported an engagement ring and she feared that this time it would be more devastating than when she accepted Brandon's proposal. So many hearts would once again be broken.

"Shall we get going?"

She did not respond but rushed from the board room her ankle buckled wedge feeling like lead on her suddenly shaking feet.
