Double Attraction (Gemini Taboo Romance Series Book 1) (3 page)

“Good morning, Brea!” said my coworker Nariah the as soon as I walked into the office. She was sitting at the front desk, ignoring the ringing phone as I stepped toward my cubical. I watched her silky, long black braids toss about as she turned toward me.

“Ugh,” I grumbled.

“Woah,” she said with wide eyes. Nariah had one of the most expressive faces that I had ever seen. Her skin was nearly flawless, as she had been a model in her twenties. Fifteen years later, after marrying and having three kids, she still kept her thin waistline and large breasts in tact. “What happened to you last night?”

              “Too many things,” I sighed.

              “We need to talk,” Nariah said as she put her hand on the receiver. “You’ve got to be delusional if you if you think that I’m going to let you off the hook that easily... Good morning and thank you for calling The Law Offices of Buchanan and Son. This is Nariah, how may I help you?”

Nariah was the only friend I had made since I moved to the Angora Hills. She trained me when I started working at the office, and she was the only one that I told about my dates with Gavin. She also knew the sordid details about my fights with my sister. Sometimes I wondered if I would have gone crazy a shortly after I moved to the city if I didn’t have Nariah in my life.

              “I’ll tell you later,” I mouthed to her as she continued speaking on the phone. As soon as she read my lips, Nariah nodded and gave me a thumbs up.

              Just as I leaned over my desk to power on my computer, I saw someone standing in back of me. I expected it to be my boss, Mr. Robert Buchanan. However, when I turned around, I was staring at Gavin’s handsome face. He was wearing a black, tailored suit and a dark blue silk tie over a white shirt. He looked gorgeous, and it was difficult to not imagine tearing his clothes off right then and there.

              “Morning,” he said sweetly. He smiled at me as though our date had gone splendidly the night before. Was there something that I had missed?

              “Hi,” I said. “I mean, good morning.”

              “How are you today?” he asked. The truth would only ruin the moment, plus I was confused why Gavin was so glad to see me. I decided to roll with the punches and continue the small talk with him.

              “Great,” I lied. “Things are going just great.” He stared at me for a few moments before leaning slightly.

              “Want to follow me into my office?” he asked in a hushed tone. That’s when I was sure that he was going to fire me. Why else would he have come to the office early on a Thursday morning? Likely, it was because I didn’t put out for him. Yeah, it was sexual harassment, but it was also a lawsuit that I couldn’t afford an attorney to begin.

              “Sure,” I said, reluctantly. Then I followed him into his office. My eyes drifted over to Nariah, who I expected to see the interaction. Instead, she was intensely involved in a client phone conversation. I wondered if he would give me a chance to say goodbye to her before security escorted me out of the building.

              When the door shut behind us, I saw the magnificent view of the city and the bay in the background. Gavin looked even more suave than usual with his back against the vibrant scene.

              “You look
very
sexy today,” he said to me. I was completely caught off guard.

              “What did you say?” I asked.

              “I said that I you look very sexy today.”

              “Oh, thank you.” I didn’t know how to respond– not that I ever did when I was talking to Gavin.

              “So how come you didn’t want to come up last night?” he asked.

              “I, uh, wasn’t sure what you wanted.”

              “Well, what did you think that I wanted?” he grinned.

              “Coffee?” I asked, knowing that it wasn’t likely the answer. Most of me knew that Gavin wanted sex, but I was too shy to say it.

              “C’mon, Brea,” he growled. “You can do better than that.”

              “You wanted to fuck,” I said while looking him in the eyes.

              “And what did you want?” he asked in a deep tone. The truth was, I always wanted him. However, Gavin seemed so unavailable until he asked me on a date one random afternoon. Was it because I was the only single girl in the office?

              “I’ve always found you attractive,” I admitted.

              “Just attractive?” he asked with a raised brow.

              “Well, very attractive,” I said with my body tensed together.

              “Well,” he said as he approached me in the sealed off room. “I find that there’s something very, very sexy about you.” He body pressed against mine, and I could feel the heat radiating off of him.

              “You find me ver–” before I could finish the sentence, Gavin pressed his lips to mine. His kiss was heavenly and unlike anything that I had ever felt. Tingles rippled through my spine and goosebumps raised on my skin. Suddenly, his hand was working its way up my skirt.

              “You like that?” he growled into my ear. All I could do was pant in response. Slowly, I felt his fingers pulling my thong to the side. As Gavin began to finger me, I held back the pent up moans that desperately tried to break free from my throat. Once his lips moved from my mouth and onto my neck, I had to grasp firmly onto his biceps for leverage. They were like two enormous boulders inside of my tiny grip.

              “We can’t do this,” I said in a hushed tone. “There are people right outside the door.”

              “Look, Brea,” he said while looking into my eyes with his beautiful blue irises. “I can’t stop thinking about how much I want you. Last night, I could barely sleep. I
need
you.”

              I didn’t wait for him to convince me further. I lunged forward and started to kiss Gavin passionately. My way of doing things hadn’t been working for us, so I decided to take my sister’s advice.

              I moved my hands across his chest before I began to unbutton his jacket. He helped me by throwing back his shoulders and allowing the hefty coat to fall to the floor. Then he spun me around and pushed me against his desk.

              There were a few papers sliding around, so Gavin brushed his arm over the surface, causing them to flutter onto the floor. Immediately after, he started to suckle on my neck again as he popped off the buttons of my blouse one by one.

              My excitement was starting to erupt. I had envisioned myself hooking up with Gavin in his office enumerate times. However, even after our dates, I never fully believed that it would become more than a fantasy.

              Before I knew it, he was shirtless and pressed against my bare breasts. His muscular body was chiseled and heated as he ground against me on the desk. I gripped onto his back, which was hard like a stone wrapped in tough flesh. His hands forced their way up my skirt again, but this time, they removed my thong entirely. He lifted the silken fabric to his nose and sniffed them.

              “I hope you taste as good as you smell,” he said. I blushed as he crawled between my thighs and forced his warm tongue into my opening. “Fuck, you’re amazing.”

              “Ah...” I moaned softly, knowing that at any moment, someone could come bursting through his office door. Still, I had no time to worry when the sexiest man I had ever laid my eyes on was pressed between my legs.

              Once Gavin stood up, he stepped toward me and pulled down his pants. He revealed a thick, throbbing cock that pointed eagerly at me.

              “Do you have a condom?” I asked as he started to rub his warm tool against me. Not giving a verbal response, Gavin leaned over to his desk and pulled out a condom from his top drawer. Suddenly, I wondered how many other girls he had brought back to his office for a late morning romp.

              Just as my mind drifted, his rolled on the condom and pushed himself inside of me. His cock was so thick that I let out a tiny squeal of satisfaction. Then he gripped under my legs and began pounding me with his muscular body.

              My head rolled backward as I looked at the upside down city in my vision. Gavin fell on top of me and continued to fuck me hard on his desk. I felt my opening fill with pleasure as he ferociously took my body underneath him.

              “Ah!” I called out, then his thrusts became more frequent. Suddenly, he pushed himself in even deeper, and I heard his moan next to my ear. My legs spread wide, and I felt the rush of heat flowing from inside of me. It took everything that I had not to scream out as I orgasmed.

              “Ugh,” Gavin groaned as I felt his cock pulsating inside of me. He must have felt my rising temperature as he began shooting his heated climax.

              I was still in my pajamas after sleeping through the day when my sister came home from work. She had a certain glow about her that I hadn’t seen for quite some time. Though I wanted to continue to ignore her, it was impossible for me to avoid her happy humming from the kitchen.

              “What happened now?” I asked from the hallway.

              “Just a great day at work,” she grinned.

              “It must have been some amazing event if you’re talking to me right now.”

              “Anything you could say to me tonight couldn’t possibly ruin my mood.”

              “You have such faith in me,” I said, sarcastically. Then I watched her grab a carton of ice cream from the freezer and dig a spoon to the top. “Eating directly out of the container? What a rebel...”

              “I’m through with following the rules,” she grinned before shoveling a spoonful of french vanilla ice cream into her mouth. “Breaking them is much more fun.”

              “Wow,” I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing. “Did my words finally seep into your thick skull or am I tripping on acid.” I walked around to Brea’s side of the counter and shoved my finger into the ice cream.

              “Let’s just say that I’m not such a prude anymore.”

              “You fucked him!” I exclaimed while looking into her eyes. They were so much more innocent than mine, but I could still tell that she had been dabbling in a forbidden zone. “I can see it on your face!”

              “Maybe I did...” Brea said, coyly, before scooping another chunk of the off-white dessert.

              “Where did you do it? Was it in his limo? Was the driver watching?”

              “Nope!”

              “You’re no fun,” I sighed.

              “It was in his office.”

              “After work hours office sex... that’s pretty hot.”

              “Oh, sis,” Brea giggled. “It wasn’t
after
hours.”

              “You dirty little slut!” I cackled. “I’m officially happy to call you my twin.”

              “I don’t know what came over me. He’s just so...
sexy
!”

              “I’m so happy for you,” I said with my hand on her shoulder. Brea looked up at me and smiled sweetly.

              “I wish things were always like this,” she said in a soft tone. “I feel like when we fight, my entire world falls into the dumps.”

              “Then let’s try not to anymore,” I sighed. “I hate fighting with you, too. I’m just glad that you’ve taken my advice and started to let loose a little.”

              “Just a little,” she said.

              “Office sex and ice cream for dinner are very good starts.”

              “Maybe you can meet someone soon and we can all double date.” Her words were naive to me at first, but then I saw Rhett’s face pop back into my mind. “Have you been interested in any guys you’ve met?”

              “There was this guy last night who was hot as
fuck
. His name was Rhett, and he seemed so different than the rest of the assholes.”

              “Well, what happened with him?”

              “It turned out that he
was
an asshole,” I said, plainly.”

              “Okay... so was different about him?”

              “He kept to himself at the end of the bar, not trying to look tough. I mean, he was a biker, but still, he wasn’t exuding the gritty vibe that everyone there has.”

              “So what happened with him?”

              “He didn’t want to sleep with me, so it ended in me telling him to fuck off.”

              “That’s pretty believable,” she scoffed. Just when my sister and I were having a pleasant conversation, she decided to ruin it with a snarky comment.

              “There you go again,” I say while throwing my hands into the air. “Why do you always have to be such a bitch?”

              “Name calling?” she sassed. “I thought we were getting along?”

              “Me, too!” I shouted. “Then you have to go and fuck it all up!”

              “What did I do?” she said while looking completely confused. “We were just joking around and the next thing I know, you’re calling me a bitch. I feel like you vilify me every chance that you get!”

              “I vilify you? That’s rich. Every day you take pleasure that I’m the trashy sister, and you’re the brilliant one that our mother loves.”

              “Mom loves you, too, Arianna.” I was dumbfounded by this comment. My mother and I hadn’t spoken since I moved in with Brea. She refused to speak to me or return my phone calls, even during Christmas.

              “Earth to Brea,” I started. “Our mother thinks that I’m fucking garbage, and she wants
nothing
to do with me.”

              “This transition has been difficult for everyone,” my sister said in a calm tone.

              “For everyone?” What about
me
? I’m the one who has an actual reason to be miserable.”

              “I know it’s been hard, but I’m try–”

              “Hard? You have
no
idea! You think that I’ve gone off the deep end. If you went through
half
of what I did in the past two years, you would have killed yourself by now.”

              “I have no idea what happened to you!” Brea shouted. “You spent the past couple of years after college crying alone in our parents’ house. I hardly saw you until the day I caught you screaming at mom who is in tears on the kitchen floor. Then she worries every day because you start roaming the town late at night and sleeping with all kinds of scary looking guys!”

              “It’s
my
business who I sleep with! Not you or mom gets to tell me how to do that!”

              “We’re worried about you, Arianna. I just want you to see a specialist so that you can get over this depression.”

              “This isn’t a depression, Brea!”

“Well, then, what is it? What happened to you?” There was a long pause. We stared at each other with quivering lips from the immense tension. I had kept this from such a long time from my sister in order to protect her from the truth. I knew that she couldn’t handle what happened to me, but all of the clues were so obviously there.

              “Just before I left the dorms,” I said quietly. “Everyone had left after graduation and I was still packing my things in the room to go home. That’s when two guys came into my room. They said that they were just checking things out in case they wanted to transfer to the university... I offered to show them around and right after they accepted, one grabbed me. They forced me on the bed... then they took turns on me...” Suddenly, I was nearly in tears. My sister, however, had them streaming down her face.

              “Arianna, I’m so sorry.”

              “Save it,” I said while tilting my head backward so that the teardrops wouldn’t fall. “No one wants to help me.”

              “Of course we do,” she said. “Why didn’t you tell us this? I could have been there for you.”

              “Mom knows, Brea,” I said.

              “She couldn’t have known,” she said in disbelief.

              “Oh, yes she does. Now I’m just her broken little slut daughter who runs around town causing her misery.”

              “Arianna, I don’t know how that could be.”

              “Believe what you want, but that’s the truth. Everyone loves you, and they all fucking hate me.” With nothing more to say to my sister, I stormed out of the room, grabbed my jacket from the closet, and fled through the front door.
