Chapter 2

Sarah woke up to find herself wrapped in the bedsheet stark naked, and then the memory of the previous night flashed before her eyes and she began to scream.

James jumped out of bed with a start afraid they were being robbed.

"What...what...?" He stuttered confused. Sarah's eyes widened at the absolute naked sight of him and she began to panic.

"Oh my goodness, no no no no no." She turned to him again.

"This is all your fault. You bastard! You monster!" She yelled throwing pillows at him.

"What did I do wrong?!" He asked back surprised, even though he had expected her reaction.

"What did you do wrong?! You bastard, how dare you take advantage of me and stand there bare-faced acting innocent!" She yelled.

"You make it sound like I raped you, yet you were moaning all through the process " he mocked her.

Her face shot red and she picked up the pillow again and hit him with it, all the while holding the sheets tightly to her breasts as she screamed at him.

"I was not thinking straight, but you were!" She yelled at him.

"Right, that's why you called your stupid ex's name. You think I'm the reason you're so messed up? " he asked her.

"At least I am ten times better than that fool who didn't even have the guts to break up with you face to face." He retorted.

" Don't you dare talk about him like that? You don't even think about him, understand?! He is ten times the man you will ever be!" She insulted him

"Ten times better than me?! " He growled angrily, his naked frame towering over her.

"Then, where is he?! Where is the bastard who you claim to be ten times more of a man than me? " James yelled angrily.

Sarah looked at him I'm shock, her eyes widening in surprise. She had never seen James so upset.

" Right...he left you, abandoned you for your best friend a few weeks before your wedding, and yes, there he is.....your perfect man" he replied.

"How dare..."  She tried to say, but before she could finish speaking, her phone rang.

"What is it?" She bellowed into the phone.

"M-m-ma'am, I just got a call from Mr. Peter Causey. He has agreed to meet with you" her Secretary said over the phone. The call had been on speakerphone.

Sarah's company, Capitalize Escort had recently encountered difficulties that were threatening to pull the company down.

Sarah Brown, being the general manager, reluctantly sought help from the big shot Peter Causey.

Peter Causey was the chairman of Econ Edge Group, a big shot in Galena City, with businesses covering multiple fields.

He was worth billions of dollars, and was also not the kind of man Sarah Brown should have been doing business with because along with his popularity, was a notorious lifestyle towards women, everyone knew he possessed.

Well, did Sarah know that?

"Really?!" Sarah exclaimed, turning to James for a moment.

"I.. no problem, I'll be at the office in a short while." She said to her secretary and cut the call.

"This isn't over," she said to James sternly and pulled the full sheet over her, glancing back for a second at his naked frame.

James sat back on the bed and ran his hand through his hair in exhaustion.

"Shit!" He cursed, punching his fist into his palm. A part of him regretted everything he had to deal with at the hands of the Browns, he regretted even letting himself make love to her the night before yet, there was still that part of him that just couldn't forget how his overwhelmed his heart felt holding her in his arms.

***

Sarah rushed into the office dressed in her red v-neck silk top and black pants. Her heels crunched the tiles as she walked the hall. She looked disheveled and it was obvious.

Strands of her hair flew about her as she walked. Greetings of her staff filled the air as she breezed past them trying her best to meet the rush.

Her Secretary, Diane walked up to her with a folder in her hand. She took Sarah's bag from her and held the door open for her to walk in.

"This is the folder for the contract we want to work with Mr. Causey on. I already emailed his contact details to you Ma'am" Diane said to Sarah as she sat in her chair.

"Okay, did you fix a meeting?" Sarah asked.

"He said he would rather speak with you directly " Diane replied

"I see, anything else?" She asked.

"Your Father wants to remind you of the family dinner tomorrow night, he said it's extremely important," Diane replied.

"Right, that's true. Thank you, Diane. That would be all" she said dismissing her.

As she leaned back in her chair, she reached up and freed her hair loose from the weak hold of the band she had used to pack it up.

.As her brown tresses fell to her neck, she reached her hand to massage it, her mind wandering back to the feel of James' kisses and bites from the previous night.

Even now, just the thought of him made her stomach curl with anger, yet she couldn't help but admit that he knew how to make a woman feel pleasure.

She reminisced on the sight of his naked body and even the fullness of his manly part as they fought that morning.

"No! Think straight, Sarah. Think straight!" She slapped herself out of her foolishness.

"Focus, this rubbish has to stop. That bastard, filthy rag of an animal took advantage of you and that's exactly what it is." She said to herself.

She took a deep breath and turned on her computer. The last thing she needed was drowning in thoughts of that idiot she had been forced to marry out of desperation, to save her Family's pride, after her ex Fred Page had dumped her a few weeks before their wedding date.

He had run off with her best friend and did not even have the guts to break things off with her face-to-face.

Sarah ran her left hand over her face as she went through her mail and put a call across to Mr. Peter Causey instead to get her mind off things.

"Mr. Causey? Sarah Brown here. It is very nice to have your interest in working with us." She said speaking into her phone.

"Dinner, tonight? Of course. I'll clear my schedule. See you soon."
