Chapter 7

2072 Words
The same day evening Zenith had just opened her heels and had sat down on her chair as she breathed in deeply. The conference was a success and there had been no problems in the management of the entire meeting. Orlando Rothschild like always had exuberantly been able to show that under his leadership and management decisions the company had trebled its turnover in the last year and now they were heading towards further expansion in other segments. The members of the board had been very happy to be fed with such fresh food as well Zenith had taken care of every single board member’s preference of food and each had been served with lunch accordingly rather than arranging for a buffet which had been happening in the company since quite some time. Then she glanced at her wrist watch and found that it was only ten minutes left for the clock to strike eight. “Holy Mother Mary, I am going to be in big trouble today,” said Zenith as she wore her shoes and then ran towards the elevator. She was supposed to be in the apartment with the key that had been truly kept in her desk. She had no idea about what the meeting was supposed to be when he could have easily said anything in the office but if it was regarding something private then she could understand his need for secrecy and privacy. She went up to the apartment and opened the door and entered the place. The lights were on and that is why the apartment was not completely engulfed in darkness. When she had come up in the morning she had not been able to see how gorgeous and glamorous this entire place was. Every single thing was in its place and it seemed that it had been made for just one single person only. There was only one stool at the kitchen bar and everything was single. As if there was no need or necessity of keeping out a pair in the apartment or the place. This was made for a man who was perpetually single. There was a painting in hanging on the mantel-piece which seemed to be a riot of colours. It was something very odd. Like if chaos had any form or figure it had been captured in this painting. “Do you like it?” came a sudden question from behind her making Zenith almost loose her balance in shock. She turned to find that Orlando was standing there in the middle of the living room looking at her. He was smirking at her sudden expression. “Why do you find it funny that you can surprise anyone like that? Spooking like that at frequent intervals is not good for the health of the heart at all. And I want to live a long healthy life,” said Zenith as she scowled at her boss. “I would never want something like that to happen to you Ms. Smith. But that does not answer my question. Do you like it?” asked Orlando. “I have never felt very close to abstract art but this is Pollock’s one of masterpieces. I cannot believe that I am taking a look at something so precious and invaluable like this alone. This is the first time I believe that I can see something which makes me feel that peace and chaos can co-exist together. It is breathtaking,” said Zenith as she turned towards the painting once more. “It seems that you know quite a bit about art, isn’t it Ms. Smith?” taunted Orlando and Zenith sighed deeply. “Literature and art are something which go hand in hand. So I had done a project about the modern artists and their effect on the literary masters of our time. I had to read and see quite a bit of art at that point of time. There is nothing to taunt me about that Mr. Rothschild. It might be possible that you own this piece of art because you have money but you might know anything about the history of this painting. But I am not being insolent or taunting you about it, isn’t it?” asked Zenith without looking at the man. “Are you not?” asked Orlando in return. This time his voice came from very close. As if she would feel his breath on her neck if she were a little closer to him. “Am I not what?” asked Zenith not understanding what he was asking. “Are you not being insolent to me Zenith? Are you not taunting?” asked Orlando and this time his lips were almost on her neck. Zenith could feel him speaking the words and goose bumps broke out on her entire skin. “I don’t think so Sir. I have been speaking my mind very clearly from the beginning of the year when I came from interview and I am still doing that,” said Zenith. She tried to sound confident but she could feel that her anxiety was rising rapidly and so was her heart beat. “I know that Zenith. That is the reason that I have never been able to place the finger on what sets you apart from others Zenith. So I have called you here today…to understand, what is it which makes me hard always in your presence? Why can I not put you out of my mind even when I am with someone else?” asked Orlando in a husky voice as he was close to her but he still did not touch her. Zenith could not tolerate it any longer. She shuddered and let out a deep sigh.. “Tell me Zenith. What is it that you think I should do with you for your insolent behavior?” asked Orlando as he caught hold of her waist and turned her towards him with a jerking motion. Zenith gasped out loud. “I am sorry Sir? But wwha…whaaat ahaat are you doing?” asked Zenith as she whimpered. She was half scared and half aroused at the proximity of her own body to Orlando’s. He smelled so good….she wanted to kiss him so bad but she could not …she would never…. “But you did not tell me yet Zenith? Are you scared of me?” asked Orlando as he pulled up her chin with his fore-finger. Zenith closed her eyes and her breathing was shallow. “Don’t be scared Zenith. I am not going to hurt you…never…I am never going to do anything which might cause you distress. Pain, yes, that you will have from me but you will have pleasure even more,” said Orlando as he smiled. “I don’t understand Sir. What do you wwant from me?” asked Zenith as she opened her eyes and looked at his dark smoldering gaze as his hands slipped possessively on her body. “It is very clear Zenith. I want you. I thought that I would not since you are not the usual type that I like or I bed but it seems that I was mistaken. I want you in my bed,” said Orlando as he cupped her beautiful bubble shaped butt. Her skirts had always made him want to bend her over the desk and spank her pale skin red. “But Sir, I am nothing but an employee. If anyone comes to know I am going to lose any reputation I have built yet. You will have another one to play with the next day but I am going to be ruined,” said Zenith as she tried to push him away with reluctance and get away from his grasp but Orlando was too strong for that. “No no no Ms. Smith…you are not getting away from me so easily. I am not a young cheating boy whom you caught with his pants down behind the bleachers, did you not? But that is not the reason you ran away from that small town? Did you?” asked Orlando but Zenith did not say anything. The sensations in her body and mind was too much to deal with and now the onslaught with the words was something that she did not have the power to tolerate. “You don’t need to say Zenith. I know what you want…I know what you need…I know what you have been craving for all these years and then you have denied that to yourself…but now you have a chance at all that…you know I can make all your dreams come true..I can make you feel your desire in more heady way than you can ever think of…you will never want for anything Zenith but the choice ought to be yours. You have to decide if you are ready too finally accept who you are,” said Orlando as he whispered the words slowly against her skin making her heart beat so loud that even he could hear the beatings. “I am scared,” said Zenith in a small voice. “It is okay to be scared. In fact I am scared as well but then again that is a part of life, is it not? But I know you want to be punished Zenith…I can feel your desire,” said Orlando as he placed soft murmuring kisses on her throat and her collar bone. Then he bit lightly near the hollow of her throat and then sucked on a part of the skin making a mark there. He smiled triumphantly when Zenith moaned in pleasure at the slight pain that she received from his end. It was more than enough to make him believe that the things he had been doubting about Zenith Smith was correct. She was a submissive. And that is the reason she had taken up his every pressure like rubber and she was still willing to stretch without even bothering about the factor that she might snap at some point of time when there would be no place to come back. “But I don’t know if I am going to be able to do what you ask of me,” said Zenith in a slow husky voice. “I know that you can Zenith. You are an extraordinary woman who has hidden beneath that mask of religiousness and that cloak of strength that you keep on wearing always. When you are here, you can be weak…you can be yourself…you can say anything you want…but only when you have the permission to speak… I know that you want this as much as me Zenith…but are you ready to listen to me? Are you willing enough to submit to me Zenith?” asked Orlando as he looked at her beautiful face. He wanted to capture her lips and then kiss her absolutely senseless but he would not give in. “What comes after that?” asked Zenith as she looked at him. “You have lived thinking about the future and fearing your past for so long Zenith. I think it is time for you to leave all those things aside and then take a trip with your feet firmly planted in the present. I am sure you can do that, can’t you?” asked Orlando as he placed a kiss on her fore-head and suddenly let her go. Immediately Zenith wanted to feel the heat of his body close to hers. She wanted to feel his strong hard muscles against her own soft body. She knew that he was right and there was not a single fiber in her body which would say otherwise. “Tomorrow morning I suggest you wear something high-neck to cover that mark on your skin,” said Orlando with a smug smile on his face and then continued, ”if you do then I am going to realize that you have accepted my proposal and the instructions will await you and if you don’t I shall understand even that.”
