Million Miles

Chapter Two

              MILES

    Fuck, I've never been this hard up in my life from being in the same space with a woman.

Well she's not just any woman she's Vanessa Clarke.

   She's looks different, she feels different.  I knew it, felt it from the first time I saw her picture three years ago. She was sitting in a park on a bench with a book on her lap staring at some kids playing.

   She looked peaceful,beautiful with the wind blowing her hair framing one side of her face️ she looked.... Perfect!. She had a really long hair for a black woman, although she isn't dark skinned.

When her dad told me I was to marry his daughter I wasn't surprised. It's business after all and it will benefit us both. In fact she's the one with the most benefits, her dad wants his legacy secured and what better person to do the job than me. I dislike shows of emotions, life taught me better. I knew a contract marriage was what I was suited for, that is if I was ever going to get married.

   I thought her dad had to do a lot of convincing to have me marry his daughter, after all I didn't need his money, I had enough as it is.

     But when I saw her picture I was dumbfounded did he force her? Vanessa doesn't look like a woman I deserve.  I shouldn't have agreed but I need this. My company needs this merger, I don't need the money true but merging my company with her father's would be like conquering the world! Once I knew what was in stock I agreed immediately.

I felt sorry for her, she's going to be sold to me like a piece of property. A girl like her deserves hearts and flowers from a man who loves her not someone like me. A greedy asshole who couldn't even stop this from happening. I can stop this anytime I want but damn. I can't, as I said, I'm a greedy asshole, always after what I shouldn't have. I have to get her. She has to be mine! The thought of me letting her go, marrying someone who gets to touch, kiss, love.... No! It makes me boil with rage to think this things. And that was even before I met her in person.

   I arranged everything to see the plan was successful . The building of her hospital, coming here, the lift episode.

The chemistry? No, I didn't plan that.

  I wanted to use my bad boy l charms on her but instead it back fired and I'm so hot for her,its driving me crazy.

  I have been told that she isn't interested in me. The Mr Williams she thinks she knows is 60 years old , pot bellied and greying!

   Vanessa Clarke has never met or seen me before not even from the pictures (I sent to her), which i'm sure she never opened and I can't rather don't afford to loose that deal so I'm doing everything I can to win her over. When I inhaled her scent I knew I was in trouble as I barely had enough control I wanted to press that little body to the wall and have my wicked way with her.

   I'm supposed to make her fall in love with me, dammit!  Not ruin her,she looks innocent, yep! Definitely not my type, I should end this now, because someone's going to get hurt in the end and I have a bad feeling it's going to be me.
 

No! I need that deal.! I remind myself . Again!

I strip off my clothes then head to the shower to take an icy cold shower. "Damn you Vanessa" I groan as cold water hits my back.....

          VANESSA

    It's been a week since the elevator incident happened and I haven't set my eyes on Mr Mysterious again.

   I even get home at the same time I got home the other day hoping I'd see him around even if it's just a glimpse of him.

    I just got off work and I'm alone at my apartment relaxing with a cup of ice cream and popcorn seeing a movie Fifty Shades Of Grey on netflix using my PC, when a knock sounds on my door.
 

    I mean who still knocks on doors, that's the doorbell right there in front of you.

   I reluctantly pause the movie to be sure I heard well, it's not like i'm expecting anyone, my housekeeper just left maybe she forgot something? But she has a key if it was her, she'd have let her self in by now.

  Then it's there again,the knock. Now I am sure I heard it.

   " Hold on, I'm coming". I shout to the person outside who ever it is.

This fella better have a good reason for destroying my leisure.

   I open the door to find to my greatest surprise , Mr sexy.
He's wearing a green shirt with a Jean trouser and a baseball cap. The shirt highlights his abs and his arm muscles make me gulp as he leans on the door frame casually as if he belongs there.

   "Let me in will you?"he asks his eyes twinkling with humour my befuddled expression.

" Oh right. Do come in please, pardon my manners". And I let him in. Inside my apartment! My personal space!

   I step back to allow him in and he saunters into my apartment like he owns it.

 
Princess, what are you doing letting a stranger into your home?. I imagine my father's voice.

The still functioning part of my brain is cautious but I quickly push the thought as quickly as it came.

   He stops in the middle of the apartment as he turns to face me I'm still standing by the door.

"You look sexy , venny"

"Ummm...... Thanks" I whisper. I'm so shy I keep my gaze on the floor. OMG! Am I in a TV soap opera or something? This doesn't happen in real life! My hair is in a messy bun I have just an old baggy tee shirt from my friend Jessy and a pair of cut out jeans on. I haven't had proper sleep in like two weeks because the hospital's been hell of a lot busy.
How in the world is that sexy!?

  "C'mere," he coos

I moan hard I bet he heard. I can't believe this could be turning me on. His baritone voice is just out of the world I take a step towards him and another and another till I bump into him with my body fully melded to his. He lets out a sharp breath as if in pain.

   " I want to see your eyes Venny",  wait what's happening!

     I raise my head to find him staring down at me. Before I can figure out what's going on I feel his lips on mine suddenly ,he brushes his lips against mine then moans. He then grabs both of my ass cheeks as he brings me flush against him.
