Hidden Love

Chapter 12

A/N  I'm going to try something a little different guys so please bear with me. Thank you in advance and don't forget to vote and comment.

After our eventful weekend, my sister decided to head back to L.A. to handle some business but promised me that she'd see me soon. A few days after she left, Larry said he needed a vacation, and surprisingly ended up in L.A. as well. Laurent and I were trying to keep our professional and personal relationships separate and so far, we're doing pretty well. Since he'd done away with the no fraternization rule, things became very interesting and a bit awkward not to mention frustrating for me. The email about the policy becoming null and void had gone out two weeks ago. Now it was Monday morning and I was already having to deal with a situation. I arrive at my office at 8 o'clock to begin setting up for the day's meetings and conference calls. Moving to Laurent's office, I laid out the files along with any notes that he would need for his first meeting. Making my way back to my desk, I see Angela Vance striding past Kelli's, my new assistant, desk, and trying to move past mine. Raising my hand, I stopped her in her tracks.

"Good morning Ms. Vance, is there something I can do for you?" Staring at me, she sneered before speaking up. "No, not really. I'm here to see Mr. Bourgeois, is he in?" Staring at her, I moved behind my desk and sat down. I'm sorry Ms. Vance, but Mr. Bourgeois is not in and he won't be available today. If you would like to schedule an appointment, I would be happy to set that up for you." With her sneer turning into a scowl, she stepped closer to my desk while beginning to raise her voice. "I don't need to make an appointment, I just need a few moments of his time. I'm sure he'll see me so I'll just show myself into his office and wait for him." The papers in my hand lost interest as I sat them down and raised my gaze to hers. "As I said before, Ms. Vance, Mr. Bourgeois is not and won't be available today and the only way you'll get to see him is if you make an appointment. If that's still not something you're willing to do, I suggest you make your way back to your cubicle and get to work. After all, you don't want the boss to see you not being productive now do you?" Kelli's laughter could be heard coming from her office as Angela stood glaring at me. I walked over to my door and opened it gesturing for her to leave. "Now if you will excuse me, I have a lot of work to do and I really need to get started. Good day." As I sat back at my desk, Angela still stood glaring at me as I got back to work. "Don't think this is over, I will be back," she said as she huffed and strode out of my office. I could only chuckle as I heard Kelli irritate her further with her comment. "Bye thirsty, have a nice day."

Everyone knows that Angela Vance is the main source of office gossip due to the amount of flirting she does and her talking about the many men that she would pull if the policy wasn't in place. Now that the policy is no longer in effect, I guess she feels everyone is fair game, and apparently, she's set her sights on Laurent. Well, it'll be a cold day in Hell with Satan wearing an overcoat before she gets anywhere near him, I'll make sure of it. Just as I'm finishing up the packets for one of the meetings, Laurent walks in saying hi to Kelli as he passes her. He stops next to me and smiles. "Good morning Ms. Holt, how was your weekend? Could I see you in my office please?" I nodded as I pick up my pad and pen heading into his office. Stepping inside, I close the door and move over to the chairs in front of his desk but he stops me as he hangs his jacket on the coat rack in the corner. "No no, don't sit just yet." He walks over to me and wraps his arms around me pulling me close to him. "I've been missing these lips and I just need a little taste." I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him to me as I settle my lips on his. He moans as he places his hands on my hips pressing into me, allowing me to feel his erection. "Can you feel what you do to me? I've been like this since this morning when I woke up with you on my mind. I dreamt about, you know." It was my turn to moan as his hands left my hips to settle on my ass. I pressed into him, my nipples poking into his chest. He looked down at them and licked his lips before reaching for the buttons on my blouse.
