Chapter 4

I grew up in a lonely household and it was only Aunt Suzy who genuinely cared for me, but my lonely childhood wasn’t visible in my place of business. Coffee Time is packed with love. Several photos that imitated love hang on the wall, and I bet that it was the only coffee shop in the city where parents could take their children. The parents could enjoy their coffee without rush because Coffee Time has an area for kids where they could play some board games, read books or many more. At first, Dylan disliked the idea of wasting the space, but I manage to convince him in the end.

Was there something that could beat coffee and breakfast? Nothing, and it’s on our signage that’s visible to everyone who passed the street. The reviews were good, and it made me smile every time I read them online. Regular customers claimed that we have it all, perfect ambiance, good coffee, delicious desserts, and the best staff. Of course, Dylan took pride in running my business, and I thought that he could be a great partner!

When I entered Coffee Time, my eyes widen when I saw Alexander and Dylan in one of the corner tables. What was he doing with my manager? Did they know each other? I studied both men who looked damn serious on their conversation, and raised an eyebrow when Dylan didn’t recognize my get-up when it wasn’t the first time he saw on it!

I saw Alexander smiled at Dylan and for a moment, I thought that he was extremely gorgeous. The man must have noticed that someone studied him from a distance and glanced at my direction. I panicked and used one of my hands to cover my face, and convinced myself to relax because there’s no way he would see through my disguise. I wore my favorite wig – it’s long, curly and blonde. Aside from the thick make-up, I also wore a ray-ban that covered my eyes.

He studied my appearance and it made me uncomfortable on my seat. I forced myself to smile at him but his response shocked me! Alexander excused himself from Dylan and strolled towards my table. “Hi beautiful, do you mind if I join you?” He asked as a playboy would do.

“I don’t mind at all, but I’m waiting for a friend.” I lied, but I caught him staring at my cleavage, and suddenly, I became conscious of not wearing a bra!

Alexander lowered his head towards mine and his eyes stared at my cleavage. “Nice tattoo. However, I saw a similar design on someone’s body when she played by herself.” He whispered, and my eyes widen in surprise that I got caught!

“Must be someone with a similar taste and style,” I replied, and he nodded his head in agreement. At least, he believed my words!

“You’re a good actress, Miss Montenegro.” He tried to take off the sunglasses I wore and there’s no stopping him!

I tried to act nonchalantly towards Alexander. In fairness to him, he’s good at his job. “I’m just trying my wig,” I lied, after I got caught.

Alexander narrowed his eyes at me and asked, “Is that so? Or you are here to meet a man to scratch your itch.

“Shut up!” I hissed at him. Who the hell did he think he was to mind my business?

“It’s my job to look after you, and that outfit you’re wearing now isn’t helping! Have you noticed how they looked at your cheap clothes? They wanted you on their bed, Madame!” Alexander continued.

“Hold on, Mr. Bodyguard! Are you trying to tell me that I look indecent on my outfit?” What’s wrong with going braless outside? It felt liberating and no constraint on my breathing.

“Yes. Next time, try to wear something decent when you’re outside your sanctuary.” Alexander snorted before he stood up and returned to the table where Dylan waited for him.

I followed him and sat on the vacant chair beside Dylan. “Leave us alone for a minute, Dylan,” I ordered, and Dylan stood up to return to the working station. “Who are you to tell me what should I wear and what I shouldn’t? Remember your position, Xander!” I scolded him.

“I’m different from your previous bodyguards, Emma, and if you believe that your harsh words can stop me from doing my job, I’m sorry to disappoint you.” He responded with a stern expression, like a strict bodyguard who wouldn’t go easy on me.

“Emma? Did you dare to call me on my first name? I didn’t allow you to do that!” I disliked the way he pronounced my name.

“You also addressed me on my first name, so it’s only right to call you with yours.” He responded without feeling ashamed that he overstepped the boundary of our employer-employee relationship!

“You know what? I hate you!” I stood up and walked towards the counter to pick-up my favorite coffee. When I asked Dylan to leave earlier, it was to tell him to get me a cup, but Alexander provoked me and I had no choice but to leave.

From Coffee Time, I walked at least two blocks to get home. The sun was hot since it was only three in the afternoon, and I regretted not bringing my car when I decided to check the coffee shop.

It was Aunt Suzy who opened the gate for me and I smiled at her. “You should take a nap, Aunt Suzy,” I told her.

“Later, Emma. Where have you been?” She asked me and scanned my outfit like Alexander did earlier.

“I went to the coffee shop. Gosh, it’s hot outside!” I exclaimed and hurried up to the lift that would take me to the third floor.

As soon as I entered my bedroom, I stripped off my clothing and went straight to the bathroom to have a quick shower. I rinsed my hair with cold water when someone opened the door and I screamed out loud. How did he get in so fast? He was at the coffee shop when I left. So, he has tattoos on his chest too!

My hands panicked to cover the private parts of my body that were exposed to the man’s eyes but it was too late. He was also naked, and a towel was on his other hand! I looked away, but it was late. I already saw it!

Little by little, I felt that something squeezed my lungs or my heart, and I had a hard time breathing. I tried to save myself from total embarrassment but my body collapsed to the wet floor, and Alexander moved swiftly to catch me!

He carried me outside, towards my bed, and lay me down on the center. “Easy. Hold your breath, precious.” I listened to his soothing voice and I knew that he discovered something on me that he shouldn’t! For the second time, he caught me in a compromising situation! He looked around inside my room for something and I pointed to him the brown bag that I could use. As fast as he could, he retrieved it and placed it on my mouth. “Breathe in, and out…in and out…inhale…exhale…,” he ordered and I followed his instruction, until my breathing became normal.

“I’m not weak,” I told him.

“No, you are not.” He replied.

“Thank you, but you should refrain from walking naked near me.” I scolded him. It was my first time to see an actual body of a man in his prime age, and it scared me. I panicked when I saw the thing between his legs because it was the same thing that made my Mama screamed in pain and pleasure! “Oh my god!” I exclaimed when all of a sudden, I felt the urge to please myself. But how should I do it? With Alexander around, I couldn’t do anything to ease the pain below my abdomen!

He must have noticed my discomfort when I pressed my thighs tightly against each other. “Is there something wrong?” He asked.

“Leave me, please,” I begged him to leave me alone and do my business.

“No,” he refused to listen to my order and he looked worried.

“Just come back later, but for now, you have to leave!” I ordered him to get out for the time being but he continued to defy my order and there was no more time! There was urgency in my voice but Alexander was stubborn and didn’t move!

I had to do it!

I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip, as my left hand moved downwards, to my private part between the thighs and rubbed my clits nonstop. Temporarily, I forgot about his presence and focused on satisfying my needs. I stretched my legs some more when I felt the sign of orgasm and let go.

When I opened my eyes, Alexander remained sitting at the edge of my bed, probably shocked at the thing he witnessed, but it wasn’t his first time to see me that way. I waited for him to humiliate me, but he stayed silent. Whatever I saw on his eyes, it wasn’t disgust but more of a compassion!

After a few minutes, I got up to clean myself, but then I felt it again! What’s wrong with me? I asked myself because previously, once was enough to satisfy my lust. Why? I required answers but my need has to be met first. I used the same hand and it moved slowly towards the throbbing part of my womanhood when Alexander’s hand grabbed mine.

“Let me help you,” he offered.
