I stood by the door of the bedroom trying desperately to distract myself, forcing my eyes instead to take in the full detailed drawing of Hudson’s black viper tattoo trailing his back. The distraction didn’t last long, and I once again found my lustful eyes wondering their way down over the ripped muscles of Hudson’s firm chest, before naughtily lowering once more down to the thick bulge betwe-

‘’Oh, good morning Taylor, I didn’t see you there. Did you sleep well?’’

‘’Did I…uh…oh sleep well, ha ha, yes of course. A little too well’’ I said scurrying across to the bathroom door.

‘’Would you like some coffee?’’ he called after me.

‘’Oh sure, yes please. Uh, milk, two sweeteners’’ I said, and quickly shut the door behind me to avoid exposing my reddening face over clearly being caught staring at his well-endowed manhood…yeah right, like you regret it, I grinned smugly to myself…may as well take my shower now though while I’m in here…I thought, as today was the day I’d be accompanying Hudson to his place of work with him, and as nerve-racking as it was going to be, I at the same time was rather excited.

With all the pampering I’d enjoyed yesterday keeping my mind and body in an indulgent ‘new me’ mode, I continued in my wake of luxury enjoyment by having myself the most fabulous shower, enjoying with it all the fun new toiletries we’d bought at the store yesterday, while role-playing in my head how best to professionally behave in my new active work role.

Okay, so one last time...’’Good morning, my name is Taylor Wainwright, Hudson’s new PA. It’s very nice to meet you’’ I said extending a handshake at myself in the bathroom mirror when stepping out from the shower…that will do, simple but professional, I grinned towel drying myself down, before heading out the bathroom to go get ready.

‘’Um, silly question’’ I said looking across at Hudson who was now on the couch still comfortably reading his morning newspaper ‘’but uh…where are all my shopping and clothing?’’ I asked when noticing they weren’t there anymore, as I was pretty certain I’d left them neatly piled by the couch last night before the movie, until we figured out somewhere more permanent where all my belongings could go.

‘’Oh do forgive me, it must have slipped my mind’’ said Hudson placing his coffee mug down on the table and slow walking his way towards me…well, at least that’s the tempo I enjoyed in my head anyway, as muscled thigh after thick muscled thigh, carrying the sexy ripped six-pack good looks of Mr. Midnight made their way towards me ‘’when you fell asleep yester-‘’

‘’Oof! I fell asleep on you again?’’ I asked looking at him all embarrassed.

‘’Yes you did, but it’s okay Taylor’’ he chuckled ‘’however because you were snoring away like a mountain lion, I had to somehow block out the nois-nah I’m only kidding’’ he chuckled again, much to the horrified look on my face right now before it relaxed, and I too started laughing.

‘’Not funny’’ I playfully scolded him.

‘’Just a little’’ he grinned ‘’but to answer your question, I took the liberty of clearing aside one half of my walk-in closet for you to use until we get you settled. Ooh which reminds me, please add somewhere to your list of duties an extra bed for the suite. Feel free to choose anything you like, there’s plenty of space here in the main room to put it comfortably’’

‘’Oh my god, thank you Hudson, really thank you SO much! And I promise you, with whatever earnings I make I will repay you for everything’’ I said looking bashfully up at him.

‘’Nonsense. The bed, the clothing, and everything else in your start-up period is all on me. I wouldn’t have it any other way’’

I pushed lust aside and tightly wrapped my arms around him, comforting my head lightly against the warmth of his chest. And there were no words needed as he too wrapped his arms around me, holding me close in that special way a father does when protecting his child against the horrors of the world…a world I was forced into both unarmored and vulnerable at the hands of my Stepfather…

‘’I owe you everything’’ I said pulling back gently from the hug and tiptoeing up placing a soft kiss of gratitude upon Hudson’s stubbled cheek.

HUDSON POV:

She said nothing more after kissing me on my cheek, and with her head lowered she scurried quickly into the bedroom to start getting ready.

It had been too late though.

I had already seen the years and years build-up of sadness and sorrow, carried with her in her eyes as she left. And with a heavy breath of empathy, I blinked back the slight sting I could feel building behind mine, before heading into the shower to start getting ready.

CHAPTER 18

TAYLOR POV:

15 minutes into driving on the way to Hudson’s work office, while stationed at a red light by a pedestrian crossing, he suddenly turned to me with a quizzical look and asked ‘’Can you drive Taylor?’’

‘’Not legally’’ I grinned pushing my wavy BaByliss Pro-styled hair back behind my shoulders and looking at him also ‘’my um, my dad, my stepdad, he was the one who taught me how to drive in my early teens’’ I told him ‘’I remember every morning using our old beat up Jeep to go get groceries from the store for me and my family. But uh yeah, I unfortunately never got an actual license’’

‘’Not to worry, we’ll take care of all of that too in the coming weeks. In fact, I’ll book you in myself with a top DMV so you get the best training available’’ he said shifting the car into gear again as the pedestrian lights changed from red to flashing amber ‘’and don’t thank me’’ he grinned when my mouth opened to do just that ‘’…consider it also part of your work budget, as I require my PA to drive in the event of certain tasks I’ll need to be done’’

‘’I have a good feeling about all this’’ I smiled warmly across at him ‘’whoa…a really good feeling’’ I gasped, as Hudson turned the car into one of the biggest, most fanciest looking corporate buildings in the city I had ever seen. But that wasn’t what stunned me speechless, it was the company logo sat right at the top of it ‘’you work for Tazer? No way, I freakin’ looovveee that app!’’ I gushed stepping out from the car in my fancy new 4-inch black Prada heels, my high-waist black fitting pencil skirt with elegant back split, and my crisp white linen Dior shirt with wide open collar, completed with the stylish red Birkin bag I had draped over my arm ‘’…although between you and me, I hear the founder of it all is quite the satyriasis’’ I chuckled, remembering what I’d read in many a gossip forums online about him.

‘’A satyriasis, is that right?’’ said Hudson, turning with the most amused grin I’d ever seen on a person.

‘’Apparently so’’ I chuckled up at him.

‘’And what do you think?’’ he continued grinning.
