Hawkins, as requested, Sir.”  Officer Bennett
announces behind me, from just inside the doorway.  Without turning from the
large window he’s looking out of, Antonio thanks the officer.  “Thank you
Bennett.”  I guess that’s Officer Bennett’s cue to leave, because without
another word, he turns and exits.  Not sure how to approach this Antonio
–the detached all powerful executive- I remain standing just beyond the doorway.
  As I’m waiting for him to speak to me, my eyes roam all over his brightly lit,
understated, masculine office.  After about two or three long minutes, Antonio
finally addresses me.  “It seems that part of my duties as your current lover,
is warning off your old boyfriends.  Why were you with Allen Langston?”
         He knows about Allen!  Damn .  I was
hoping to get that situation all wrapped up and taken care of without him
finding out.  Antonio still hasn’t turned around and his voice is low and
controlled; which tells me that he is absolutely furious.  Damn and Double
Damn .
         “It wasn’t a tryst.  We had some unresolved
matters to clear up and that’s what we were doing.”
         “What kind of unresolved matters, Tiressa?”  I
try to explain, even though I have no choice but to speak to Antonio’s back.  “Well. 
Before you and I started dating, Allen and I were contemplating a relationship…we
were in the ‘getting to know each other’ stage.  Then Derrick told me that he
was married—”
         “Have I misjudged you, Tiressa?  Do you get
involved with married men?”  
         “Have I misjudged you, Antonio?  Do you get
involved with making nasty, asinine assumptions?”  Having his words turned back
on him clearly irks him.  I watch his wide shoulders expand as he takes a deep
breath in an attempt to collect himself, before finally continuing.  “So, I ask
you again.  Why were you meeting with him?”
         “Allen wanted to show me proof that he has
been legally divorced for the last couple of weeks.  But I told him that it
doesn’t matter, since I’m now seeing someone.”  Antonio turns around and walks
over to his desk.  Although it’s obvious that he’s still mad, looking at him
with his jacket off and sleeves rolled up, I can’t help thinking about how much
I’ve missed him…missed talking to him, touching him.   After pressing some
unseen button just under his desk, I hear an almost silent click coming from
the door behind me.   “Why the hell do you keep referring to our relationship
as seeing someone ?”  Antonio says in a dangerous growl as he straightens
and slowly approaches me.
         “Antonio, you know we’re more than that.  I
know we’re more than that.  But I didn’t have time to tell Allen that because my jealous lover sent one of his toy soldiers to fetch me.”  If I
hadn’t been watching Antonio’s face so closely, I would have missed the quirk
of his lips –there and gone all too soon.  Antonio keeps walking until he has me
up against the door.  I want to hold my ground, but there is no chance of that
really happening. 
         “What did I tell you that night I first took you
and marked you as mine?”   His very nearness makes it almost impossible for me
to think coherently.  Looking up into his possessive eyes, I admit to myself
that I like that he’s jealous of other men.  His claim of marking me as his, as
he presses his erection against my belly sends a quivering reaction spiraling
through my body.
         “What did I tell you Tiressa?”  He breathes
into my uplifted face a scant second before he gently assaults my mouth with firm
lips and velvet tongue.  I’m absorbed in his passion, so much so, that I barely
notice the hand at my hip, unzipping my slacks.  He breaks the kiss to remind
me.  “I told you that this is mine.”  His big hand slides into my
panties and past the light sprinkling of curly hair on my mons.
