King Maker: Past Encounters (Part 3)

5 - Falling

Tanaka

Dimitri took Tanaka home watching both her and Mateo asleep in his arms once they reached her house.
Her mother walked out taking Mateo into her arms as Dimitri carried Tanaka into the house. She slowly opened her eyes looking at him as he carried her to her room. He didn't say a word as he lowered her onto her bed. Removing her shoes he pulled the covers over her before leaning down to kiss her forehead. He lay down beside her starring at the ceiling in thought. He listened as her breathing became slow and steady telling him she was asleep.
He lay awake for a few hours thinking over what has happened. He never wanted what happened that day to happen again as he took his phone looking over the police officers files. Clearly they had a record of making random arrests. T had clearly provoked them upon going through their files hence their outburst. He recalled hearing Tanaka say they had stopped her saying her lights where not working. Upon getting his man to check the car out all was functional.

He felt her hand on his chest as she slowly moved to lay her head on his chest. Placing his hand over hers he sighed feeling her soft skin as he caressed it closing his eyes as sleep took hold.

Tanaka opened her eyes to find herself in his arms before the events of the previous night came back. Dimitri lay awake as she removed herself from him looking at her without a word. He looked at her reading her thoughts as she sat up feeling his hold on her tightening as he stopped her from moving away.
"Mateo is alright," he murmured as a sigh of relief came over her. "How are you?" He asked reaching to caress her cheek.
"I'm. I'm okay," she said in a low voice looking away from him in shame.
"Come here," he said as she hesitantly moved towards him.
Pulling her onto his lap as she straddled him avoiding his eyes she let out a shaky breath as she played with the hem of her shirt.
"Don't blame yourself," he said tilting her head up so she could look into his eyes.
"Don't think about what those assholes said," he murmured.
"Mateo told me what happened," he said as his hand gently moved over the bruise on her chin.
"They are going to wish they had never stopped your car. Who knows how many more people they have done this to for the sake of arrests," he said as she looked into his eyes.
"I will make perfect examples of them. Others like them will think twice before crossing such lines," he said as she looked at him shocked.
"Just forgive them," she whispered.
"Tell that to your sister," he smirked pulling her close as he placed his lips on her chin kissing the bruise before pulling away.

"Thank you Dimitri," she whispered just as they heard a knock.
Getting out of bed she went to see who it was before she saw Mason looking worried.
"I hope they lose their badges," he murmured pulling her into his arms as she chuckled at his greeting.
"Hello to you too," she said as he looked towards the bed seeing Dimitri sitting up.
"You have a lot to tell me," he smirked looking mischievous.
"I'm going to take a shower," she said rolling her eyes.
"That's good. I will be waiting downstairs," he said seeing Dimitri standing up getting his shoes before he left the room along with Mason.

Walking into the kitchen wearing sweatpants and a tank top Dimitri couldn't keep his eyes away from her as he sipped the coffee in his cup. Greeting the children she smiled at him as he averted his gaze looking into his plate as her mother offered him more bacon which he politely declined.
"I should get going," he murmured as he informed his son they had to leave.
Mateo bid everyone farewell giving Tanaka a long hug.
Dimitri avoided her gaze as he walked to the door. Giving her a polite smile he left her before she could thank him once more.
She turned to her friend watching him wearing a smirk as she frowned.

"You just had to wear that top," he smirked.
"What's wrong with it?" She asked in confusion.
"You do know your goodies were clearly distracting the man from having his breakfast right. The man had to avoid looking at you most likely to not walk out here with a boner if he didn't already have one," Mason chuckled.
"I didn't know he thought of me in such a manner already," she said in confusion.
"Oh gosh. Must I teach you all the secrets to life," he said face palming himself taking her hand. "Let's forget about yesterday and focus on today. Here is what I want you to do," he said leading her into the house just as her mother told her she was taking the girls to school.

That afternoon

Walking into his office he heard her call out his name as he froze closing his eyes.
Turning around he smiled at her his eyes widening as he saw her clad in dress that hugged her curves making him swallow as he parted his lips no words coming out.
"Hello Dimitri," she smiled as she reached him. Placing a hand on his forearm she leaned towards his cheek giving him a peck as he held his breath in shock.

"I hope I'm not disturbing you," she said looking at him as he cleared his throat a smile appeared on his face.
"You look, wow," he said his cheeks flooding with color.
"Thank you. You rushed off this morning. I didn't get to say thank you properly," she smiled looking at him as she tilted her head to the side looking into his eyes.
"I'm sorry about that," he said blushing profusely as his personal assistant looked at him in surprise.
Nervously he rubbed the back of his neck as he looked away unable to look at her recalling the morning.
"There was something I meant to give you yesterday," she said smiling shyly looking away from him.
"Please let's talk more in my office," he directed her curious to know what it was.
Leading the way he swore under his breath as she swayed her hips before him. Taking a seat in his chair he watched as his personal assistant walked in carrying a tray. Placing it down he dismissed her before rising from his seat as they made small talk.

Tanaka watched as he poured the hot beverage into a cup before he turned to her asking her how many sugars she wanted. Stirring the cup he picked it up moving to hand it over to her.
His eyes widened in horror as his hand collided with her accidentally spilling the contents onto her lap.
"Janine!" He yelled in panic as the assistant rushed in. "Get me a cold towel!" He yelled whilst in the process of holding Tanaka still as she winced in pain.

"Don't move," he ordered before he did the unthinkable. Tanaka gasped hearing the rip of her dress as he exposed her thighs.
"Dimitri," she said as he was handed a towel which he quickly placed over her as she sighed  feeling the coolness of the towel. "I'm fine. It wasn't very hot," Tanaka said as he pressed the cloth down gently.
She reached for his hand stopping his movements as he looked at her fear evident in his eyes. "I'm fine. See," she whispered as she lifted the towel showing him that she was alright.
He shook his head no as he covered her legs again.
Leaning towards him she cupped his cheek before she did that which he least expected. Gently kissing his lips she pulled back before whispered, "I'm okay," as she nodded his head watching him mimic her as he nodded his head.

"Did you just kiss me?" He asked appearing confused.
"Yes," she smiled shyly as a smile appeared on his face.
Leaning towards her he slowly kissed her taking charge as he begged her to give him access. Parting her lips she felt his tongue teasing her as her arms went around his neck.
Holding her by her waist he lifted her up deepening the kiss as she moaned in pleasure before pulling apart to catch their breaths.

She looked away from him smiling shyly as he smiled at her.
"Now I'm fucking addicted," he murmured turning her head back towards him as he gave her lips a peck making her laugh at his statement.
"Your words will not make me forget you ripped my dress," she said with a raised eyebrow seeing color flood his cheeks.
"My apologies," he said sincerely allowing her to sit down once more as she tried to cover herself up.

He held his jacket out for her allowing her to cover her legs as he called in his secretary.
"Please rush down to Fiona's and get me a dress for Ms. Chuma. She will know what is required," he said handing her a credit card whilst texting on his phone.
"Wait. That place is expensive Dimitri. A simply dress is alright," Tanaka objected hearing this.
The PA stood awaiting instructions as Dimitri smirked waving them off as Tanaka looked at him surprised. Moving towards her she allowed him to pull her up from her chair.
"Whilst he wait for your dress should we continue where we left off?" He smirked leaning against his desk pulling her towards him as she rested her palms against his chest.
She felt his hands moving down to her bottom as he pulled her closer to him before resting a hand on her waist whilst the other cupped her cheek.

Looking into his eyes she saw his true self before he kissed her at a leisurely pace. After all there was no need to hurry.
