Chapter 4 (Leo)
After a long day at work, it was finally time to go home. I grabbed my jacket and slipped it on before I grabbed my briefcase. Using my ID card, I called up the elevator.
Ding!
Once inside, I pressed the button for the garage, knowing there would be no one left in the building at such a late hour.
Stepping out, I was surprised to find another car in the lot beside my own. It was a small white Camry. The hood was popped, and there was someone bent over, looking at the engine. From the hourglass outline of their figure, it was obviously a woman.
“Do you need some help?” I asked, approaching her.
She stopped tinkering with the AC line and turned around.
Elaine.
I smiled slightly in the gloom of the parking lot. “Everything okay over here?”
She took a minute to answer as she bit her bottom lip like she was carefully choosing her every word. “My car won’t start… I don’t really know what’s wrong with it.”
“Let me take a look.” I placed my hands on her hips, letting my fingers dig into her supple flesh before I pushed her away. “I know a thing or two about cars. Just, do me a favor.”
She nodded.
I handed her my phone. “Turn on the flashlight and hold it for me so I can see properly.”
She did as she was told. She was always compliant. I liked that about her. In fact, I liked it a lot.
As she turned on the light, I inspected the car, looking for anything out of the ordinary. Everything seemed to be in order so I rolled up my sleeves and started to feel around. Maybe something was leaking.
My arms quickly got covered in grime and grease, but I didn’t mind. Getting your hands dirty was never a bad thing.
“Did you find the problem?” She asked, leaning against me. The feeling of her petite body against mine made me want to push her against the car and take her right then and there, but I curbed my sexual appetite – for now.
“I’m not sure.” I straightened back up and rubbed my hands together to get rid of some of the grime.
“Great… I have to call a tow truck, don’t I?” She was shivering in the unusually cold summer night.
“Not necessarily.” I bent down and picked up my jacket, handing it to her. When she wouldn’t take it, I draped it around her shoulders to keep her warm. “Stay here. I’ll go get my car. Maybe all you need is a jumpstart.”
I hesitated to leave her alone. The way she stood there, hugging herself, she almost looked vulnerable. I wanted to take her in my arms and protect her from the whole world. The feeling inside my chest was strong and powerful, like nothing I had ever felt before.
I lingered on it, wondering why I was feeling this way as I got in my car and pulled up in front of hers.
I popped the hood open and grabbed the jumper cables from the trunk, hooking them up. “Alright, try starting it up.”
Her eyes widened when she realized I was talking to her. Quickly, she scrambled into her car and turned the key. The engine sputtered for a moment before it roared to life. I unhooked the cables.
She got out of the car and stood by her door awkwardly, my jacket still draped across her shoulders. “T-Thank you…” She said in a soft whisper.
“Don’t mention it.” I smiled, closing her hood for her.
The sudden loud noise made her jump, causing her to almost trip on her high heels. I caught her before she could fall, pulling her closer to my body.
Naturally, I pushed her against the side of the car until our hips were locked together. I could almost feel the wild beating of her heart as she looked up at me with great big eyes.
I leaned in closer, watching as she closed her eyes and puckered her lips ever so slightly. I knew she was preparing herself for a kiss and damn, I wanted nothing more than to bend her over this car and kiss her until her lips turned blue, but as I held her a little closer, I knew it would be much more fun to tease her. To make her want me, so much so, that she would be on the verge of begging for it. I grinned at the thought, imagining her on her knees before me, her pink lips in a cute little O, just waiting for me to make the next move.
With this thought, I let her go. “Well, I hope you have a safe ride home.”
A look of disappointment painted her face. She frowned slightly before nodding. “Thank you.” She disappeared inside her car and drove away. I stood there a little longer, a smirk flashing across my face. I had no doubt in my mind that she wanted me. It was written all over her body, from the way she looked at me to the way she acted around me.
Soon enough, she would be mine.
Satisfied with myself, I got in my car and headed home. Taking the highway, I stayed in the fast lane, going well above the speed limit before I pulled off into my exit. It wasn’t long before I reached the affluent part of town. Mansions loomed on either side, decorating the street as far as the eye could see.
I turned into a small side street. Here, the mansions were even bigger.
And then there was mine, the biggest of them all.
I pressed a button on my steering wheel and the automated gates swung open. Slowly, I drove up the driveway, admiring my home as it came into full view.
Just a few years ago, I would have never imagined myself living in such a place.
It was funny how fast fortunes could change.
