What happens in vegas

Chapter 6

Julia's POV

I go straight to the break room to try to figure out something for Fredrick to eat. I doubt he's an oatmeal and yogurt kind of guy, but I also know he works out and is therefore health conscious. There are varied fruits and vegetables along with eggs and cheese. I decide to make him an omelet. I start the coffee pot and begin cooking. I cover his food and load everything onto a small tray to take to his office. I knock on his door and wait for his "Enter." Fredrick is on the phone so I place the tray on his coffee table. He smirks as a way of saying thank you. I turn around and exit.

I'm working at my desk, taking phone calls and arranging Fredrick's schedule when I get a text.

Fredrick-Where did you find the omelet? It was delicious. I smile, glad he liked it.

Me-I made it for you in the break room.

He responds with several texts one after the other.

Fredrick-My wife can cook, who knew?

-Thank you.

-By the way, I like the ponytail.

-Now stop texting and get back to work.

I roll my eyes and set my phone on my desk. I touch my ponytail and I recall how his hand combed through my hair yesterday. He said that I'm pretty. He doesn't seem to mind that I'm thick either.

"Did you hear the latest? Mr. Draven and Ms. Cavanagh broke up." "He had her escorted out of the building yesterday. We all saw it happen."

"So that means he's single now, right?"

"Like you would have a chance with him."

"Like anyone does? I dare you to even go up to him."

"Yeah right, he'd skin us all alive."

I listen to the office gossip and shake my head, if only they knew. Prior to dating Ms. Cavanagh, Fredrick was known for his bachelorhood. He was never really labeled as a play boy, so that's a good thing. Who is this man I'm married to? I open entertainment news articles, then change my mind. That's all just a bunch of gossip. I switch to business articles and begin to read. I have one last paper to turn in on Monday about my internship, that would be a good excuse if anyone catches me researching him. I really need to finish my assignment, though. There is a wall

at my back, but there is also a hall at my side that leads to

Frederick's spacious office. I pull up my unfinished page paper.

I only have pages left to write. I segue into the topic of Fredrick

and his accomplishments within the company.

"Ms. Lewis, are you doing homework on company time?"

I jolt at the sudden voice behind me. I take a deep breath. "Mr.

Draven, as I'm still finishing up my internship, this is part of my

job description."

He smirks. "Then by all means, continue. Reschedule my lunch

for a later time. I had a late breakfast."

I smile to myself. "Yes, sir."

Fredrick sends me a text with an address. I decide to go on my lunch break to pick up whatever it is. I arrive at a jewelry store and proceed inside. A man standing behind a glass case full of diamond necklaces greets me. I proceed with caution. I have no idea what Fredrick has me picking up. "I'm here for a pick-up. My name is Julia Lewis."

The man looks my name up on his computer. He proceeds to pull out a black box identical to the one my ring came in. The box terrifies me. "You're all set. Thank you for stopping in today." I refuse to open the box. I put it in my bag and head back to the office.

Most of the floor is cleared out for lunch when I return. I knock on Fredrick's door. I hear a faint "Enter."

There's no one in the room when I walk in. I turn around to the room behind me. It's basically a bedroom for when Fredrick works late. The door is open. I speak up as I walk through the door. "Fredrick, I got your..."

I stop in my tracks. Fredrick is standing in front of his closet, pulling out a clean shirt. His other shirt is on the bed with a wet mark on it. His smooth perfect chest is right in front of me, and it is delicious. His golden tanned skin is like a beacon signaling me to him. His abs and pectoral muscles are solid and strong. "You like what you see?" There is no sarcasm nor ridicule in his voice, he genuinely wants my opinion. I slowly nod. He tosses his clean shirt on the bed then takes a step closer to me. He takes both of my hands and places them on his chest. He guides my hands down to his abs and back up. "It's all yours," he whispers in my ear.

I look into his eyes. He stares back at me. The look in his eyes is almost a challenge. I don't know how I got so brave, but I lean forward and nibble on his collar bone. I hear him hiss through his teeth as he takes in a breath. His hands tighten around mine. I bite down a little more and suck hard. His head falls back as he let's me mark him. I pull back to admire my handiwork. I'd never given a man a hickey before. I nod, just happy it worked, and step

back.

He slips his shirt on. I help him with his buttons. He tucks his

shirt in then grabs his jacket. "Why do you always wear a jacket?

Wouldn't you be more comfortable with out it?"

He looks at his jacket, then back to me. "Never really thought

about it. I've always worn a jacket. Do you object?"

I look him over. "Yes. You look more approachable without it. The

shirt and tie alone is pretty sexy."

He smiles. "You think I'm sexy?"

I roll my eyes. "Well... who doesn't?"

He adjusts his tie. "Can you take care of my shirt for me. I spilled

water on it." I nod then retrieve the shirt. It's warm and smells

like him. "Oh, what did you need me for?" He asks as he's walking

back to his desk. I reach in my bag and pull out the black box. I

hand it to him. "Do you like it?" He asks me.

I shake my head, "I didn't look."

He opens the box and turns it toward me. It's a mans ring with the

same filigree that is on my ring, a matching pair. He takes it out

and slips it on his ring finger. He nods in satisfaction. "I'll be out

of the office the rest of the day. The movers will be at your place at

o'clock tomorrow morning. As soon as you're finished here you

may go. I know you have some packing to do." He leisurely strolls

up to me. He places a chaste kiss on my lips then heads out the door.
