In Her Sleep

A Business Prize?

"You are officially insane."

"I am." Caleb sighs happily. A stupid grin on his lips, hands spread out on his office couch,head laid back, feet up on the coffee table. A position he hasn't used in a long time. All is right in his world. "Talk about getting a taste of heaven!"

It was just supposed to be breakfast. He had resolved to that. But that was before he walked back into the cabin's bedroom and found an angel ready to be ravished. He had tried to keep his hands to himself, he really did. But all those sparks, the sexy sights, the need, the clear desire in her eyes… it was as if nature was tormenting, teasing, tempting and daring him, all at the same time. Not even her unwelcome change in topic could distract him from his intense need that assaulted his senses. He didn't know when he let his control slip. His hands developed a mind of their own as they exposed, explored, touched, setting him on fire that only intensified with her unwillingness to stop his adventure. He has never seen a more beautiful sight.

"I take it your time out was satisfactory." Darren takes a seat opposite him, mischief dancing in his eyes.

"Almost satisfactory." The satisfied look in Layla's eyes pops up, making Caleb's grin grow wider. Oh, the chance to satiate his woman.
He would have loved to stay longer than a day, would have loved to bury himself deep the entire time, but that is not his style. Especially not with her. As enchanting as his set up in front of the lake was, it's not what Layla deserves.
She will be his soon. Body, mind and soul. Once he takes care of the mess surrounding her. Call him selfish, but being her distraction from the things she wants to escape was not enough for him. So he kept everything basic, but hot enough for a body shattering experience for her. Saving the best for when he will be the sole object of not only her desires, but her entire soul.

"Are you even listening?"

"Nope." Caleb allows himself to drown in the memory of Layla's tight grip on his arm muscles as she held onto him for support, that possessive kiss that was a result of his hand's sexy adventure on her perfect body.
"The Men in Business party." He finally says, hesitantly choosing to let go of his fantasies.

"What about it?"

"It's time Layla got introduced to her future world properly."

"Woah! Are you sure? You know I'm all for you being back and all, but throwing her out ther–"

"I want everyone to know that she's mine. I want everyone to know that I'm in love with her." So not his style, but apart from rubbing Simon's loss in the bastard's face, Caleb really does feel like shouting it on top of the world that this beautiful girl is his.

"We both know it's not everyone you care about knowing." Darren scoffs. "And just so I'm getting this clearly, are we talking about yours as in body, mind and soul kind of yours?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Caleb loses his unusual posture and faces Darren, a smirk on his face. "My love life may be the reason we are here, but you are not that privileged."

Darren scoffs. "Then what exactly are we allowed to talk about sir? Your foolish idea of revealing your hand before the other player does?"

"Damn right. This time I want him to see me coming, I want all of them to see me coming." It's cocky of him but Caleb intends to have his sweet revenge right in the open and it will begin with him flaunting Simon's ex fiancée right before their world while she looks like the sexy goddess she is. He wants Simon to regret ever tucking her away while he went about cheating on her.
"I want him to watch as everything he owns falls apart right in front of him and the world." Caleb grins at the bold headlines on his favorite business show.

"Young Towers sets their sights on probably one of the most future brilliant minds of the business world."

Next to it, is a perfect picture of Layla in her graduation gown, receiving the biggest student achievement award. Her bright and beautiful smile reminding him of the treasure that the E.R had so selflessly granted him the day of her accident.
