You and Me

Chapter 37

"So... as you can see, I deserve the position I have in this company but you are all allowed to have your own opinions, so if anyone here has any doubts or questions of why I'm in this company I would be more than happy to answer" I said to everyone while they all looked at the TV in front of them which displayed my recent works.

We got to the company this morning and everyone was already waiting in the conference room. I'm not going to lie, I felt so nervous and... scared. Ivan tried to get me to let him talk for me but I refused. I showed everyone my work and recommendation letters and they all looked at me with shame and... what seems like... respect?

I saw someone raise their hand and I looked at them and then at Ivan, who looked like he was about to explode. "Yes?" I said to the man raising his hand confidently trying not to show any emotion.

"I just wanted to apologize for my part in judging you, we shouldn't have been so quick to judge you, none of us had seen your... amazing work and I think it's clear to every one of us that there isn't anyone better for this job than you" he said and I heard others say, 'yeah' or 'sorry' and I looked at him and responded.

"That's where you're wrong" I said walking a couple steps and placing my hands on the table and leaning on it. "I'm not the best architect, there will always be someone better than me, but there is something I have that not a lot of people do, and that's determination and passion. I'm always determined to do my best and push myself. Passion is something not a lot of people share with their occupation but I... I love what I do...your apology means a lot and I see where you were coming from. Neither of you knew me deeply, but I want all of you to know this." I said and took a couple steps towards Ivan who looked at me up and down and sent me a smirk. "I won't be treated differently because I'm Ivan's partner, but do not take that as a sign to offend me or manipulate me. Because know this... I wont tolerate it and I will put a stop to it, understand?" I said to everyone stopping a couple of feet away from Ivan and looking back at everyone who nodded.

"If nobody has any questions, comments, or concerns unless Ivan has something to say you may all go back to work." I said and everyone nodded at me and glanced at Ivan who walked behind me grazing my ass and then walking to the center. Is it bad that it makes me feel aroused? To have him so close and to see his reactions.

"I know Charlotte said that she wants everyone to treat her as normal but I have a comment. Charlotte is my girlfriend, my partner so I want her to be treated as. By that I don't mean to walk on eggshells around me and her but to show her the respect she deserves and everyone keep in mind that I wont tolerate gossip about her, me, or about our relationship. You may all go back to work." he said to everyone who nodded and started to walk out. I got ready to leave the conference room with Jasmine. "Charlotte stay" Ivan said and I looked over at him and told Jasmine to go.

After everyone left it was just me and Ivan in the conference room. He walked over to the door and locked it. He started to walk over to me and smirked at me. God that smirk is going to be the death of me. As he started to approach me I squeezed my thighs together trying to prevent the wetness from dripping out of my pussy. He placed his hand on my bare thighs and smirked at me looking down at my thighs.

"You know... seeing you take charge and defend yourself was making it really hard to contain myself, and those shorts aren't really helping love" he said, placing his hands on either side of me and leaning closer to me, our lips almost touching. I didn't feel much fear because even though the wall that held the door looked like a window looking into the company from the outside, it looked like a mirror. So anyone inside could see what was happening outside but the people outside couldn't see the inside.

Ivan placed his left hand on my inner thigh and caressed it. My breathing started to shudder and I felt a wave of hotness all over my body. I could feel the throbbing feeling where I most craved him. "I-Ivan we c-can't" I said and he smirked at me "oh we most definitely can my love" he said and smashed our lips together with so much lust and passion. The way our tongues danced with each other, Ivan's holding so much dominance was making it harder for me to contain myself. I tried talking to Ivan while our lips still molded with each other.
