Page 11 of His Dark Pull

“What are you talking about?”I stammer.

“You and I, we could be unstoppable together,”he says, his hand reaching out to caress my cheek.

His touch is repulsive, sending a wave of revulsion through me. I swat his hand away. “I have a boyfriend,”I say, my voice firm despite the tremor in my hands.

He laughs, a cruel, mocking sound that echoes in the large office. “He doesn’t need to know, Ava,”he says, his tone low. “And you should be careful how you respond to me. You love your job, don’t you?”

He’s threatening me.

He advances towards me, his large frame casting a shadow. I back away, my legs hitting the edge of the desk, trapping me between him and the cold, hard surface. I nervously tug a strand of hair behind my ear, as my eyes search for a way out.

Shit, what have I done?

I look around, but there’s not a soul in the office at this hour. I know it, and he knows it. His hand lands on my chest, his fingers digging into my skin, and my heart pounds against my ribs like a frantic bird trapped in a cage.

I need to get out of here, my mind screams.He won’t stop.

He pushes his body closer, and I can feel all of him hard against me.No, no, no, no.My body is frozen in place, I hadn’t seen this coming.

“Parading around the office with those soft tits,”he says and grabs one of my breasts.

The pain is instant. I know it will leave a mark.

“Ouch, you’re hurting me, Cole.”

“I know you like it like that. You’re a fucking dirty girl,”he says sleekly and lifts up my skirt with his other hand. Two of his fingers slip in under my laced panties and into me in one sudden motion. I am taken by surprise, rendering me unable to move, my feet rooted to the floor.

“You’re sobbing wet. I know you want me. Your body hunger for cock, doesn’t it?”he growls. “I’ve been looking forward to this for a while now. I see how you look at me.”

Like what? With disgust and fear?

Feeling his fingers sliding up my inside is an awakening call, and I gathered all my strength and push one knee to his groin. But he is too strong. His bulging muscles overwhelm me, placing one hand over my mouth and the other leaving my slit, pushes down my knee.

“Now that’s being a little naughty, isn’t it? I’ll give you time to — taste me soon enough, slut,”he moans, with a sly grin, and twists my nipple.

“Get off of me, Cole!”I manage to say.

“Not before I sample this tightness of yours,”he says, pushing his fingers back inside me hard and far up, making me squeak.

“Uh, fuck yeah,”he moans, fingering me in and out in brutal thrusts. “You say no, but you mean yes. Or else why would you be so fuckin’ wet for me? You’re drippin’, fuck it.”

It’s an involuntary bodily reaction that I have absolutely no control over. All I know is that I don’t want this. I never wanted this.

No!I pull away, and just as I am about to scream my lungs out, the door bursts open with a crash. Tyler stands in the doorway, his eyes blazing with fury, his fists clenched at his sides.The usually calm and collected lawyer isgone,replaced by a protective, almost primal force.

“What the hell is going on here?”he demands, his voice a low growl.

Cole releases me with a startled yelp, his face pale. He tries to regain his composure, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. “Nothing, just a little business discussion,”he says, his voice strained. His fingers pull out of me as he wipes them against his tailored pants.

What the hell just happened?

My eyes are wide with shock, and my hands are shaking.

Tylerisn’tfooled by Cole. He takes a step forward, his body tense, his eyes never leaving my boss. I see a flicker of something I have never noticedbeforein his eyes – a darkness, a hint of ruthlessness lurking beneath his gentle demeanor.

“We’re leaving,”he says, his voice low.

Cole hesitates, his gaze darting between Tyler and me.Then, with a shrug and a dismissive hand wave, he steps aside.“Fine, but remember, Ava–”he says, “-how much you love your job at Spectrum. Don’t you?”He hisses like a serpent.
