My jaw dropped from the shock.
"You fired her? Why?" I asked.
He scowled suddenly, "It's not something we should talk about in the office."
I nodded, thinking he had closed the chapter but he surprised me by standing and taking his jacket.
He walked back to me and stretched his hand to me, "Come on," he said.
"Where are we going?" I asked as he dragged me out of his office.
"Home,"
I kept quiet after that, the ride home was silent and comforting.
I wanted to know what happened between them. I never liked Alice but they had a good professional relationship going.
I wonder what ruined it.
We got home and entered the house.
"So?" I asked.
Killian took his seat beside me and held my hand, he looked me in the eye and whispered the words that shook me to my core.
"Alice tried to seduce me."
His face held so much remorse that it broke my heart.
Of course, what sane man would reject Alice?
I nodded, "Oh of course."
I ripped my hand away from his and tried my best to hold on to the tears threatening to fall.
Is that why he had been acting so weird?
I grabbed my bag and stood up heading to the door.
"Where are you going?" he called out.
I turned to look at him like he was mad. Did he expect me to stay?
To keep playing the dirty mistress while he played house with Alice?
"I am leaving. I hope you are happy with her."
God, even my voice sounded as pathetic as I felt.
Killian furrowed his brows and stood up to meet me.
"What does that mean?"
"Please don't make me say it."
"You need to because I don't understand what you are talking about."
"You said Alice wanted more out of your relationship and I am guessing you agreed."
His confusion melted to anger, "Hold on, you were ready to walk out on me because of your guess?" he asked.
Well, when you put it that way. It is stupid.
"What did you expect me to do?"
"I expect you to trust me, damn it!"
He wove a frustrated hand through his hair and I suddenly felt bad.
I grabbed his hand and held on to it, "I am sorry. Let's go sit."
I led him back to the place we left and motioned for him to speak. He glared at me but that softened when I laid a quick kiss to his lips.
"I was in my office one night when she approached me. She asked me why I refused to let Andrew sleep with you. I told her I didn't have to answer to her and if she didn't realize that I was her boss."
Killian took a deep breath before he continued, "She kept insisting and when I didn't answer her, she said because I was sleeping with you. I asked her what about it."
"Oh," I said.
"She continued by saying that I am blind and how I didn't notice that she worked for me all these years just because she was In love with me."
"You said no and she left?"
He shook his head, "I wish that was the case, she stripped and tried to kiss me but I called security and had her fired."
I took his hand, "I am so sorry."
"Yeah, me too." he rested his head on my shoulder as we stayed like that.
My heart expanded with so much love that I could feel it bursting out of me.
He fired her for me, he rejected her for me. He is faithful to me.
I grabbed his head and kissed his lips lightly but he deepened the kiss, our tongues clashing together.
I reached for his shirt and he obliged by yanking the buttons and taking it off, he helped me out of my dress.
I was naked as the day I was born.
"Killian," I moaned when my lips found the spot on my neck that made me go crazy.
He sucked on it before giving me a little bite, he gathered my two hands and tied it with his discarded shirt.
His fingers stroking my pussy so lazily, my clit throbbed with want and I shifted my hips to make him go faster.
He took his time pleasuring me, watching his fingers go in and out of my wet center. I moaned with frustration.
He kept me at the brink of my orgasm, drawing it out every chance he got.
"Please," I pleaded.
He took his fingers out making me groan in disappointment, I was turned, my face shoved roughly on the couch.
My bare ass up in the air and my heels sticking out, I heard the sound of his zipper and the feel of his cock pressing into me.
I arched my back as he groaned, going even deeper than he meant to.
I needed this.
His thrusts were not gentle. With his hand holding my neck down and the other on my hips, he pounded into me.
I screamed with pleasure even when my orgasm threatened to blind me, he didn't stop.
Not even when I said I couldn't breathe, he picked up his pace, fucking me like a madman.
My orgasm shook me violently as I shuddered, moments later he came.
I slid down the couch like a ragged doll as I caught my breath.
I closed my eyes a little and felt Killian's hand around my legs, carrying me to the bedroom.
He placed me on the bed and cleaned me up, climbing into bed with me.
He gathered me in his arms and kissed the side of my head.
"Killian,"
"Don't talk, I am here," he said.
"I love you,"
He kissed my forehead and whispered for me to sleep.
I closed my eyes as tears threatened to fall. I was disappointed, I wanted him to love me back more than anything.
Each time I tell him, he doesn't respond.
I closed my eyes as I welcomed sleep, I just succumbed when I heard him say something but I was far too gone.
