Jagged Edge.

Chapter Five

I sat there, I was completely flabbergasted, did I hear him right? Was that why he employed me? Of course it was, oh god, what had I done, now I was stuck in a car with him, he killed the silence

'I didn't hire you because I want to fuck you, I hired you because you are good at your job and I want you to work for me. The wanting to fuck you is a plus'

My throat burned, I needed to say something, what could I say, I was.flattered but - and he interrupted my thoughts.

' I want to show you something, before you ... ok... I'm not an atypical man, I don't share stories of my love and I don't pretend to feel more than I do. I want to fuck you Melissa and I will want to fuck you a lot, whenever I want, because your innocence to everything makes me want you, because you are beautiful. I will give you whatever you want except two things - Love and perpetual freedom. But my wealth, my contacts are yours. You will go with me to events as my girlfriend and you will pretend that's what you are, when you aren't you are just a product I want to possess and I didn't become this successful not getting what I want'

I sat and listened, I hated to think it but I wanted him too, and I tried not to but I did, he was strong, powerful and I liked that but I wouldn't take his money, I wasn't like that, I didn't like money. He didn't know me, he knew nothing about me.

' I won't take your money, I don't want it and you know nothing about me'

he laughed again, so arrogant, 'I know you plenty, grew up with your family on welfare, you lived with your mother and step brother for a while and your uncle lived with you for three years-'

I stopped him 'you know nothing about me'

'tell me then'

'I don't tell anyone who asks who I am, and I don't make an exception if that person has the power to fire me on the spot or the skill to hire a private investigator'

I may look innocent but I wasn't stupid.

' Well, I know you want me just as bad as I want you, I saw it in your eyes the first time you saw me, I don't need to know any more than that, just think about it...' he pulled a key chain out of his suit pocket, 'here your apartment key, you can have the rest of the day off, I'm heading out, Eric will take you to your place'

'So no lunch?'

'ha, Melissa, it is ...' he glanced at his Rolex watch ' 9.25am, of course we aren't having lunch' he got out the car and just before he closed the door, 'tomorrow, I expect an answer' and he closed it.
