Chapter 6 - The co-partner

Charlotte's POV

His jaw clenched while he was glaring at me furiously, and he warned me. "Don't provoke me, Charlotte!"

I narrowed my eyebrows and gave him a death glare. "Then learn how to act when you have a co-partner. You started it when you agreed with the perfume campaign without me. Now we are even. If you don't want me to do it again, then change your attitude, Alexis." I stated in an authoritative tone, emphasizing the word Alexis.

I noticed some strange glint in his eyes which he hid immediately and pulled back, running his hand through his hair.

"Find yourself another playground daddy's girl, and let someone who knows how to run a business take care of the agency." He stated confidently, placing his hand into his pocket. "You have been working here as a model for a while. So I guess you don't want to ruin the business with your childish behaviors." He added, giving me a mocking smirk.

"How dare you! What do you think I am? Some brainless bimbo?!" I shouted, frustrated, clenching my fist.

He raised his eyebrow, smirking, and roamed my body from head to toe, rubbing his chin, pretending to think.

Rage swept over me. I was holding myself hard from strangling this Greek cretin.

"Asshole! You are an arrogant jerk without any manners. I will show you who I am. You will take your words back and apologize for behaving like a real ass." I stated, determined and stormed out, slamming the door behind me. If I stayed one more minute in this Neanderthal's cave, I would kill him with my bare hands.

When I walked into my penthouse, my phone rang. I pulled it out of my bag and picked up the phone, taking off my heels.

"Hey, Sienna." I greeted my friend as I sat down on the couch, placing my bag beside me.

"Hi. How are you?" She asked warmly.

"Tired. I have recently arrived home. And you?" I ruffled my hair and leaned back against the couch.

"Fine. I am waiting for Romeo. We are going to have dinner at the restaurant." She replied. "Tell me about your new co-partner? Do you get along well?" She asked mischievously.

"He is an asshole." I gritted my teeth in irritation. "And yes, we get along very well. I love him so much that I want to kill him." I added sarcastically and rolled my eyes.

Sienna chuckled. "Hmm... I heard he is handsome... Your Greek." She commented, amused.

I rolled my eyes. "Maybe, but if he didn't only have an arrogant annoying personality." I stated, annoyed and frowned.

"Hmm. If you say so." She mumbled slyly. "There is a thin line between love and hate..." She added in a playful tone.

"Sienna!" I warned her. She chuckled in mischief. I breathed deeply and shook my head. "He drives me crazy. I hate when he bosses me around. He acts like I am not his co-partner, but his assistant." I scowled angrily.

"Hmm... he drives you crazy." She commented playfully.

"Sienna!" I warned her, irritated. "Don't you care that your best friend will be a murderer because of that asshole?" I pouted, narrowing my eyes.

"Don't tell me you don't like him. He is your type." Sienna commented, intrigued.

"Since when is my type arrogant jerks?" I asked angrily. "It is you who like these kinds of guys."

"Hey, don't disrespect my hubby." She stated playfully.

I rolled my eyes. "He has already made you look like himself. Both of you are annoying." I mumbled, annoyed.

She chuckled. "Just admit he is hot."

I sighed, ruffling my hair. "Fine. He is good-looking, but it doesn't stop me from wanting to strangle him." I confessed honestly.

"Hmm... You are already fantasizing about him." She giggled mischievously.

"Sienna!" I warned her and sighed. "I have someone else in my life." I confessed and bit my lower lip.

"Really? Who?" She asked, surprised.

I nibbled my lower lip and replied. "Nathan."

"What?!" She exclaimed, dumbfounded.

"We are kinda back." I mumbled and wrapped a curl of my hair around my finger.

"I guessed it in my wedding ceremony, but why didn't you tell me before?" She asked warmly.

I heaved a deep sigh, ruffling my hair, and explained. "I kept it a secret because he was unsure about it. I wanted to give us some time. Actually, he still hasn't admitted his feelings towards me." I paused, sighing, and ruffled my hair. "I know he isn't indifferent towards me. Otherwise, we wouldn't be back after all these years. Yes, I should admit our relationship is based on lust more than love now, but I know he will remember his feelings towards me, and we will take our relationship to the next level. Till that I prefer to keep it a secret from the others as much as possible. Especially from Romeo. I don't want him to force Nathan to stay away from me. He saw how bad our breakup affected me; so he would intervene if he found out we are back. But I am a grown woman now; I know what I am doing."

"Yes, I understand you. But are you really sure? I don't want you to get hurt again." She said, concerned.

"I am sure, Sienna. I still love him. I will do everything to be with Nathan. I am sure he will admit his feelings towards me soon. He will eventually understand we are made for each other." I stated, determined.

"I hope you will be happy, Lottie. You deserve it." Sienna said warmly.

"Thank you." I heaved a deep sigh. "Now I have to go and get ready. Nathan and I have plans for tonight."

"Have fun. See you soon."

"Bye."

After hanging up my phone, I prepared dinner for Nathan and me. His favorite dishes. Then I went to the bathroom and took a shower.

Once I finished my light makeup, I heard Nathan's voice coming from the foyer. I smiled happily and went to greet him.

After having dinner together, we started watching a movie. I was leaning against him while his arm was around my shoulder.

I bit my lower lip and squeezed my legs together as there was a steamy scene in the movie. Meanwhile, I noticed Nathan was breathing heavily while playing with the lock of my hair.

I pursed my lips together and placed my hand on his bulge. He tensed up instantly.

"Lottie..." He mumbled huskily.

I gave him a devilish look as I unbuttoned his pants slowly. He was staring at me, breathing heavily, his gaze dark with desire.

I leaned towards him while resting my hand on his bulge and brushed my lips against his lips. He placed his hand on the back of my neck, pulling me towards him more, and deepened the kiss. Meanwhile, I started unbuttoning his suit shirt.

I pulled back slightly and started placing kisses on his bare chest.

"Lottie..."

I stroked his bulge while I was traveling my lips down along his chest, placing soft kisses. He shivered under my touches and moaned as I placed a kiss above his boxers.

I gave him a devilish grin and unzipped his fly under his intense gaze.

"Lottie... what..."

Without letting him finish his sentence, I freed his member and squeezed it tightly. He groaned, leaning his head back, his eyes closed. I leaned towards it and took his shaft into my mouth. He moaned loudly and grabbed my hair tightly.

I accelerated my pace while his groans were getting louder.

"Lottie... stop..." He pleaded, panting.

I ignored his pleas and kept sucking his throbbing member. He tightened his grip, pulling my hair while groaning.

"Lottie... no... I am...coming." He mumbled, breathing heavily.

I ignored him and accelerated my pace, making him groan louder and louder. He screamed my name out and came into my mouth.

I gave him a self-satisfied grin as I pulled back while he looked at me with hooded eyes, panting.

"Are you okay, Mr. Carter?" I asked seductively.

Nathan smirked, shaking his head. "You will be  the death of me." He said as he pulled me towards him by grabbing my arm and smashed his lips against mine.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him back with ardor as he pulled me into his lap, making me straddle him. He moved his lips from my lips to my neck, biting, sucking it while squeezing my buttocks. I moaned, gripping his hair and titled my head, giving him more access.

He grabbed my shirt and tore it, sending the buttons everywhere, making me gasp.

"I will buy you a new one." He said hurriedly and kissed me between my breasts, squeezing my breast, making me moan.

I pressed myself against his hard member while he was sucking my nipple after getting rid of my bra.

"I want you, princess." He said huskily and slid his hand under my skirt.

When I wanted to warn him not to tear my panties, it was already late.

"I will buy you as much as you want." He said as I gave him a dirty look. "And tear it again and again." He added hoarsely as he lifted me up slightly by wrapping his arm around my waist and penetrated me, making me moan.
