Craving CEO's Touch - English Version

Chapter 14

Zion came late to the office, but Nevin came in much later than him. He can't help but chuckle on how Nevin look right now. Nevin's hair is unkempt and wore a mismatching no color coordinated blouse and pants with big wide eyeglasses and bandaid on his cheeks. He want to show concern but he knows that Nevin is much more concern about his situation.

'Oh Nevin, looks like you had a wild weekend with Drew,' the clerk teased Nevin, that perk up Zion's ear. Nevin just plop on his chair without much reply to all the teasing he had received.

Drew came in after lunch and went straight to Nevin desk and has a little chitchat with him. Nevin was a little bit uncomfortable on his seat and Zion can see from his office that Drew was looking at something in Nevin's neck.

'Nevin what is that on your neck? Did you hurt yourself or something,' tension is palpable in the air. 'And why are you wearing an eyeglasses inside the office and what's with that bandied on your lips?' Drew continue to ask Nevin.

Nevin just kept his silence while he was looking to Zion behind his eyeglasses. Zion knows that Nevin is killing him in his mind. He purposely left a hickey on his neck staking his territory. He accidentally bite Nevin's lips while on the throes of pleasure and he is sure that the reason for the eyeglasses is the panda look because of lack of sleep for two nights straight.

Drew drag Nevin inside the office and had talk together with Zion regarding of one account. He can see Nevin protesting along the way and he was limping a little. He felt sorry for Nevin, he was rough on him last night.

'We received a letter from Mr. Ramirez,' Drew announces. 'It seems he's been having second thoughts about that advertising campaign you were trying to sell him. He wants to see you.'

Nevin could hardly believe what he heard. He smiled but stopped when he felt pain on his lips. 'Where are you wearing, look at what happened to you, where were you last Sunday? Did you go with your neighbors thugs again? Your not a kid anymore Nevin!' Drew asked him worriedly. 'Don't tell me Nevin are you going to drag racing again?' while Drew was holding his chin and checking him.

Zion smirked at Drew's questions to Nevin and Zion knew that he was looking at him badly because his eyebrows were furrowed.

'I'm going to his office now,' Nevin said hurriedly. 'Come with me Drew.'

'No need,' Zion told him. 'It's all been taken care of. We're going out there this afternoon. I just wanted to warn you so that you could prepare yourself. I want to be in on this meeting. Drew has to attend some other arrangement.'

Didn't the distrust him? Nevin fumed while he rifled through the Ramirez file. Or did he suspect that he wasn't up to securing the account? Either way it was scarcely flattering, and he was in a mood of reckless defiance that he prepared for the coming interview.

Zion was approaching his desk with a smirk on his face.

'What do you want?' he asked him coldly, dismayed by feelings his touch had aroused, and further disturbed when his eyebrows rose and he asked sardonically:

'Do you really need to ask me that? I thought I'd made it perfectly obvious.' When he refused to retaliate he laughed again. 'Ah, you're beginning to learn. I came to see if you were ready to leave.'

'Leave?' Nevin glanced at his watch. 'But you said the appointment was for four o'clock.'

'That's right,' he agreed urbanely, 'but I thought we'd have some snacks first. No argument,' he said, and he waited for him to gather all his file. He grab his hand bag and expecting Zion to walk ahead of him but he was startled when Zion grab his things and placed his hands at his back while he walks ahead of him. The mere thought of Zion touching his back sent tingle to his core.

What was the matter with him? he asked himself nervously. He was reacting like a teenager on his first date. He had only touched him, for God's sake. That was exactly the trouble, he admitted wryly. For some reason he only needed to touch him. He hoped to God he never discovered how vulnerable he was to him. But there was no reason why he should as long as he kept his cool and didn't allow him to panic him into anything he could not get out of.

'Are you alright Nevin,' Zion ask Nevin as he can see that Nevin is having hard time walking.

'Do you really need to ask that?' He answered Zion. He can see the apologetic look of Zion as he unlocked the car for him.

As soon as they were inside the car Zion grab Nevin in his arm and hug him tightly.

'Nevin, when can I hug you whenever I want?' Zion said breathlessly in his ears. He can't believe how Zion is acting like this infront of him. He is cold as ice in the office and now acts like a lovesick teenager. 'When are you going to break up with Drew?'

That shocked Nevin, he can't think of breaking up with Drew and he don't know how to do it.

'Let's not talk about it Zion. What are we? Why do I need to break up with Drew?' Nevin courageously ask Zion. 'We are just two consenting adults who had sex because we are physically attracted.'

Zion drove the car angrily. Nevin was terrified of Zion's driving. He didn't know where they were going as if he was driving without direction. It suddenly stopped in a place where there were not many passing cars.

'Out! Get out of the car! While I'm still asking you nicely!' Zion shouted at him.

Even though he was afraid, he also got out of the car. Zion left him there alone and he had no choice but to look for a place to hide while waiting for the bus going to the downtown area. He had been walking for a long time when someone stopped by the side and when he turned around it was Zion. Without saying a word, he went down and picked him up to put him in the car. All the car doors are locked so he has no chance to get out even if he does.

'Who told you to walk under the heat of the sun? You've walked a long way, I wonder where have you been,' he shouted at Nevin.

'After you leave me there, you're going to ask me that?' Nevin yelled back at Zion.

Zion called Mr. Ramirez to reschedule the meeting and drove home with Nevin because Zion noticed that Nevin's breathing was deepening while he was closing his eyes. Nevin was already asleep when they arrived and he carried her into the house. He laid Nevin down on him and changed his clothes with the smallest shirt. Nevin looks good wearing his clothes, Zion muses.
