Italian Obsession

Chapter 9

Valentina

I left the hotel, feeling guilt wash over me. I had done what I promised I wouldn't do, the only thing I could hope for was that it would only be between Danny and I without Natalia knowing. I could sense it pissed him off after I left, but I had no other choice. If I stayed, it would have only made me feel more guilty. I sure did not look forward to going back to work on Monday having to face him.

*** Three days later: I woke up at 7 with my mind on Danny. I couldn't stop thinking about him after that night. I knew it was wrong and I shouldn't have any thoughts about him but trying to push the thoughts of him out of my head only made it worse.

I stopped at Starbucks to get a coffee for Micah and I, shocked to see her sitting at her desk. "You're here early."

"You didn't have to get me a coffee."

"I needed one."

"Thank you." She opened her wallet and handed me a ten-dollar bill.

"You don't need to pay me back."

"I insist."

"Well, thank you."

"No, thank you! How was your weekend?"

"It was alright."

"Did you..."

"Yeah."

"How was it?"

"Good."

"Just good?"

"Okay, it was better than expected but I feel so guilty, Micah."

"It is what it is."

"I'll just be interested in how he'll act around me."

"I am sure it'll be fine."

Around 8, employees began to arrive, and I noticed Danny speaking to William in his office. "It's hard to see him, Micah."

"I can understand, but everything will be okay."

I saw him looking at me out of the corner of my eye, but I have to force myself to not speak nor even look at him right now. Regardless of how badly I wanted to talk to him, I felt that it would make things worse for me.

"Valentina, can I have a word with you?"

"Is that a good idea?"

Danny looked at me and nodded. "Follow me."

I looked at Micah before following Danny to his office and he shut the door. "So, you are going to ignore me now?"

"No, but..."

He covered my mouth and unzipped my skirt. "Do you plan on lying to me?"

"I..."

Danny's fingers entered inside of me, and it took everything in me to not stifle a moan. "Bend over," he whispered in my ear. "I will not ask twice."

I knew it was a bad idea, but I couldn't help myself as he unbuttoned my blouse and entered me. "Did you miss this, baby?"

"Yes."

After he finished, I zipped my skirt back up and adjusted my blouse. "You could have gotten that again last night, but you chose to leave."

"I just didn't think that it was a good idea."

Danny smirked. "It's not, but I want you. Especially now."

"What about my sister? She..."

He kissed me and opened his door. "We will have another session very soon, Valentina. Have a good day."

I went back to my desk and sat down, doing my best to focus on the rest of my day.
