(Editing) Sold to Be His

Chapter 15

*Rated R* Scenes of sexiness present.

I am waiting outside Henry's apartment. I ring the door bell again and suddenly hear something fall like boxes. Then the door opens and I see Henry shirtless and only with black briefs with his hair messed up. I don't dare to look down and keep my eyes on his neck.
"Oh hey Athena, sorry, I was like-"
"It's fine, I'll come back later," I say. I was about to leave when he gets my arm. "No, it's okay. Come in, let me get decent."
I get in and see Henry put a cardboard box back on top of a table in the middle of the living room. He then goes to a room and closes the door.
I see on my left a view of a small kitchen. As I walk forward into the kitchen, there's the dinning room which only fits like four people. I walk back to the living room and sit on a leather brown couch.
"Sorry, I had to work late last night," Henry comes back and sits next to me. He has a stripe black and white t-shirt with jeans and black shoes.
"It's fine, well you said to come at ten in the morning," I chuckle.
He nods, "Yep, I did. Well how about we go to my art room?"
"Sure."
I follow him and we enter into his art room. He has many small sculptures, paintings hanging on the wall, there are two wooden rectangular tables with papers, paint, brushes, rulers on them.
"Okay, well, the portrait I was thinking for you is simple, natural and romantic," he says.
"Alright, so what would I be wearing?"
"Nothing, well just a blanket wrapped around your bottom," he says.
My eyes widen, "What?"
"If that's okay, if not we can go for a modern thing," he says quickly.
"No, I mean, I just don't want you to look-"
"I won't, you will be giving your back to me, and like I said, your bottom will be covered, you will be siting on a stool facing the window. I will be using the natural light only, the lights here will be off."
Well, that's okay, right? No one will see my completely nude and it will be sensual yet not too much. I nod, "Sure. I will do that."
He smiles, "Awesome, okay, let me get the stuff organize here, you go to the bathroom and take your clothes off. I have a white satin blanket there for you. Also, let your hair loose and take any make up off please."
"Yes sir," I salute him and walk to the bathroom. I do as he says. I take off my jacket, white sweater, jeans, and black undies. I take off my pony tail and let my hair loose. I comb it with my fingers and wrap the satin blanket around me.
I begin to get nervous as I walk back to the room. I open the door and see the lights are off and Henry setting up his station. He puts three brushes on the art stand and places a blank canvas on it. I walk towards the stool in front of a big window.
"hey," I say.
Henry looks at me and his eyes brighten.
"So do I just sit?"
He nods and walks towards me. "Okay, sit looking out the window."
I sit and hold the blanket even more against my chest. I feel so cold.
"Now, do you let me set the blanket?" he asks behind me.
"Umm, sure," I answer. I look down at my upper chest and see his hands go on top of mine. "Put your hands down please," he says.
He places his hands on mine and my body jumps at his warm touch. He moves my hands down to my lap making the blanket fall to my hips. Oh snap, it is cold! My chest feels the chill breeze coming in from the window.
"Okay, now you need to hold the sides of the blanket," Henry says. I get the ends of the blanket and put them on my lap.
"Alright, I'm going to fix your hair now okay?" he asks. I nod.
He puts my hair up and I feel the cold on my back now. He places my hair back again and I feel his hands split my hair in the middle and pinning it. "I put a sparkly hair piece," he says.
I hear him walk back. "Now face me Athena, not completely, just a bit," he says. I slowly turn my head towards his voice.
"Stop! There, beautiful, just hold still for a few minutes okay?" he asks.
He gives me a warm smile. "Beautiful." He then begins to paint. He gives me glances to make sure he is creating the painting right.
I feel relax as minutes pass. I feel flattered though, Henry's eyes give me such compliments but they aren't disrespectful. He is an artist after all. He sees the beauty. My neck starts to feel sore but I don't complain. I keep on looking at Henry's relaxed expression carefully on the canvas. I see his right hand move as he paints while holding the paint plate on the other.
"Okay, just a bit more time okay?" he says as he looks at me.
"Sure."
After like an hour, he tells me it's okay to move. Finally! I relax my neck and shoulders.
"Thanks," Henry says. He places his hands on my bare shoulders. His warm touch feels so good against my cold skin.
He begins to massage my shoulders. I let a small moan come out of my lips and immediately cover my mouth with my hands. Then I feel my happy standing breasts on my arms. I forgot I am naked and he is just behind me! I quickly stand and cover myself.
"Done?" I ask.
He nods, "Yes."
"Good. I'm going to change."
"You okay?" Henry stops me. I nod. "Yeah, just cold."
"I'll make hot cocoa, is that cool?" he smiles.
"Sure." I quickly jog towards the bathroom and get dressed. I get out and smell the sweet chocolate smell coming from the kitchen. I let my hair loose and walk towards the kitchen.
"Thanks for doing this Athena," Henry turns to me. He has two white mugs on his hands. He offers me one and I take it.
"Welcome, so when can I see the painting? I need Shawn to approve it first," I say.
"I can take it on Friday," he shrugs, "I just need to put small details to it."
I nod. "cool." I take a sip of the chocolate and smile at him. "Yum."
He drinks his chocolate as well. We continue to talk about his art and such. He has another girl coming tomorrow.
"And who is it?" I ask.
"She is a blonde woman, didn't really catch her name, but she gave me her number," he says.
"Is she going to be nude too?"
"Nope, it will be a head shot, she will have awesome make up though," he smiles.
"cool," I drink my last of the hot chocolate. "Well, I need to go."
"Aww, that fast?" he frowns. I chuckle. "Yes."
"Fine, see you Friday then?"
"Ah huh, bye Henry," I wave goodbye and walk out.
...
I am waiting for Shawn to arrive. It is already 7 at night and he isn't back from work. I hope nothing bad happened to him.
"Madam, do you want me to serve you?" Bonnie asks.
"No, just give me like ten minutes, Shawn should be coming soon," I answer.
"Okay," Bonnie excuses herself to the kitchen.
I look at my cell phone and no texts from him. If he was working late, he would have told me already. Then I hear the door open and see Shawn coming in.
"Hey!" I smile, "glad you are here."
"I'm going to my office," he says. He just walks away to his office. What the? Is he mad at me? I follow him and knock on the door. "Shawn? Why are you not going to eat?"
"Not hungry, have lots of work," Shawn says.
I open the door and look at him working at the computer. "Well, do you need help?"
"No."
"Okay, well, don't stay too late," I say. I leave the room and close the door. Don't over-think Athena, he has a lot of work to do. He will be himself again tomorrow.
I go eat and invite Bonnie and Frankie to eat with me. I don't want to be alone. As soon as I finished, I go check on Shawn.
As I am about to open the door, I hear high heels clicking against the marble floor. I turn and see a woman walking, lightly smiling at me, "Hi, you must be Athena."
"Yes, and you are?" I ask.
She offers me her hand but I don't take it. She lightly chuckles and places her hand down. "I'm Kimberly West, I am Shawn's secretary."
I look at her. She is gorgeous! She has curly long red hair, a curvy figure, long legs, and good cheek bones. She has a black tight pencil skirt up to her knees, red high heels, and a white satin v-neck blouse tucked inside the skirt. Her breasts are big and yet they aren't low.
The door suddenly opens and Shawn sighs. "Good, thanks for coming. I need that report edited by 7am tomorrow. I also need you to help me do the statistics report."
Kimberly nods, "Yes Shawn."
"Come in," Shawn opens the door more and Kimberly steps in. He doesn't even acknowledge me and closes the door! I am left there with my mouth wide open in shock. He didn't even introduce me as his wife!
I want to open the door and yell at him. But I stop myself.
"calm down Athena, please, he is stressed out," I think to myself. I walk away and go shower before going to bed. I put on a white spaghetti strap shirt with black mini pajama shorts. I dry my hair and lay in bed. I turn on the TV and flip through the channels.
"In the latest local news, the multi-millionaire Shawn Trevor has been named the city's Top Business man of 2014. He will be celebrated next week in a special banquet by the mayor himself," the newscaster says.
Wow, Shawn is not just a millionaire, but a multi one and he is now being recognized by everyone. Wow. I chuckle, "I feel so proud of you baby," I think.
I quickly run to his office and hear loud banging noises coming from it.
"HE IS A FUCKING IDIOT!"Shawn yells.
"Please calm down," Kimberly says.
"How in the world do I calm down Kimberly? After all the damn work I put into this project, suddenly he backs down? And top of that he is suing me? I didn't do crap!"
"I know, but we can fight this, we can recover-"
"Shut up! This construction project cost me 20 million dollars and of top of that I'm being sued for 40 million dollars! That's almost 80 million dollars and even more if I am found guilty," Shawn says.
"Shawn please," Kimberly says. Then I don't hear anything anymore. I slowly open the door and see Kimberly's hand on his shoulder. "He doesn't have any proof. We will win and move on."
"My father will be disappointed," Shawn says. "He was happy I was doing better than before."
Kimberly gives him a warm smile. "And you are and will be. Please, 20 million? You can double that in no time and it won't hurt the business finances."
Shawn chuckles, "you think?"
She nods and places him in the chair. "Now," she turns the chair towards her and leans over. "Relax. Let's still do this report, submit it, do the calculations of the losses, and we will contact your lawyer tomorrow very early so we can settle this quickly. Alright Mr. Trevor?"
Seriously?! I can see her freaking boobs over here. I'll bet Shawn has a great view of them.
Shawn sighs, "Yes, this is what we should do. Let's work then."
Kimberly smiles and stands straight. "Okay."
I close the door in emotion. I am feeling sad, angry, and confused about all of this. Why doesn't Shawn tell me this things? Why didn't he tell me Kimberly was coming? What can I do to make him feel better? Was Kimberly flirting with him or was it in my head?
I go back to the room and lay down. Should I trust Shawn with Kimberly? He wouldn't hurt me like that. Right?
....
NEXT DAY: TUESDAY
I wake up expecting his arms around me. But as I turn, I am all alone. Did he even sleep? I go check the bathroom but he isn't there. I check the room for any note but nothing. I put on a pink rope and walk to the kitchen.
"Morning!" Bonnie exclaims. "I'm making delicious waffles!"
"Where's Shawn?" I ask.
"He is at work. He left with his secretary at about 6:30."
I look for a clock and see it is barely going to be 9 am.
"Is the madam alright?" Frankie walks in.
I nod. "Sure. I'm not hungry." I walk back to the room and take a quick shower. Why didn't he tell me anything? He just left. I get out of the warm room and change into a long sleeve, white, cotton dress and pair it with brown booties. I put on a black leather jacket and brown scarf. I blow dry my hair and straighten it. I only put mascara and concealer.
"Where are you going?" Bonnie asks as she sees me go downstairs.
"Out, I won't stay here alone again," I say. I grab the key Shawn left for me in case of an emergency. I go to the garage and click the alarm button. A white car blinks its lights and I go in and drive.
I am suddenly standing in front of Henry's place.
"Coming!" he yells. He opens the door and smiles at me. "Oh hello stranger, I thought we agreed on Friday."
"Well, yeah, but I just needed to talk to someone. I don't want to be alone," I say.
"What about your husband?" he frowns. "Everything okay?"
I nod. "Yeah, just that, he works a lot, so I want to be around people."
"come in," he says. "Let's go to my art room."
We go in and I see a blonde woman siting on the same stool I sat. She has a strapless bra on with jeans. She has very colorful make up on. She looks like a pretty clown except she doesn't have white powder skin. Her hair is a long side braid.
"You can watch while I paint," Henry says. "Sit." He puts a box next to his chair for me to sit on. He sits and begins to draw. "Don't move Charlie," he says to the blonde girl.
"Okay," she nods.
I sit next to him and see his magical hands do the work. He quickly begins to paint Charlie. He is so fast yet very detailed. He creates her eyes first putting the bright blue shadow on her eyelids and extending her lashes. Soon I start to see her face.
Minutes go by and he is done. "Thanks love," he says to Charlie.
Charlie stands and stretches. "Welcome."
"So, how is it?" he asks me.
"Good, wow, it only took you like two hours," I say.
"Thanks," he smiles.
"So are we cool now?" Charlie asks.
Henry stands and hugs her. "Yes. Thanks."
"So when can I see it?" she asks.
"In two weeks at the civic center," Henry answers.
"Cool," she chuckles, "well let me get this make up off." She walks away.
I stand, "So any more models coming in?"
"Three more, two boys and a girl," Henry answers. He gets the canvas and locates it against the wall.
"Cool," I say.
We wait for Charlie to leave the apartment to move to the living room.
"So what do you want to do?" Henry asks.
"Anything, how about we go eat? I didn't eat breakfast and my stomach is growling," I chuckle.
"Sure," he smiles. "Let's go."
"Do you mind if I drive?" I ask.
"Nope."
I drive us to a local dinner. I order a special burger with curly fries and a soda. Henry orders a big hot dog with everything on it.
"This is so good!" he yells with his mouth full.
"Ew!" I chuckle. "don't be nasty." I take two fries in my mouth and eat them.
"Do you want to go see a movie afterwords?" he asks.
"sure."
