Chapter 28
Icould see the submission in her actions and her expressions. She was willing and ready; however, I, on the other hand, was a bit shaken by my reaction to her. There was an endless supply of women at my beck and call, so why had I allowed myself to stoop in this way just to get her attention? For the first time in a long while, I felt as though I had given my power away, like I was no longer in control, and I hated it.
No woman could make me feel this way, so I rose to my feet with my decision made. It would be a lot more difficult for her to change my mind than for her to change hers. I didn”t bother responding, just as how she hadn”t even bothered communicating clearly her train of thought and decision, so I headed for the door, much to her shock.
“Drake,” she called out; however, I didn”t respond. It was a shame because I had been looking forward to using that room with her; however, there were a lot of things that couldn”t be pushed aside for the sake of my desire, and my complete lack of control over one woman was one of them. I would rather deprive myself than be at her mercy, and I wanted the both of us to know that.
I exited the room but just as I did, the door to the spa room beside us opened. I didn”t bother looking to see who it was, but when I heard the door to Evelyn’s room open as well, I realized that she had run out after me. I turned around to make sure that she was properly dressed and found that she was not. She did, however, have the towel around her, which was okay, but it wasn”t tight.
“Get back!” I scolded her immediately, concerned for her before even turning to see the situation. I found that it was Victoria, and my worries were allayed. She wasn”t important; however, when I turned and saw the look on Evelyn’s face, I realized that this probably would spell trouble for her.
She seemed so angry and forlorn at the same time as she retreated back into the room and then she slammed the door shut behind her. I understood, and in a way, I felt a bit responsible, and so I turned to Victoria. Her mouth was wide open, and she as well was in a towel.
“Um,” she smiled and boldly met my gaze. “I’m sorry for interrupting. I didn”t know you two were?—”
“It”s none of your business,” I told her, and her expression immediately changed. It darkened, and I could clearly see that she was incredibly upset. I didn”t give a fuck.
“Do you understand what I mean?” I asked.
“If I hear this discussed beyond the three of us and amongst anyone at the party, I will know for
sure that you were the one who tattled, and I will, as a result, ensure that you’re immediately fired. Do you understand me?”
She glared at me, and then she released a deep breath.
“Yes, Sir, I do.”
“Good,” I said and continued on my way.
