108 Don’t Go
“What are you doing?” I asked in surprise.
“Don’t go. Don’t leave,” he repeated passionately.
He hugged me tighter from behind before burying his face in the side of my neck. His lips kissed the sensitive skin of the side of my neck before he drew in long breaths of air along with my smell. My body froze from shock for an instant before I started relaxing in his arms.
“Promise me that you’ll renew the contract,” he demanded as his arms refuse to let me go.
“I told you that I’ll think about it,” I replied.
“Not good enough. That’s not good enough,” EROS muttered sternly close to my ear.
“Please let me go,” I said softly.
“No. I won’t let you go until you agree to become my contract girlfriend again,” EROS said stubbornly.
I could tell that he was deeply disturbed and perhaps everything that Mark had told me over the phone was true. It was just hard for me to believe that I could have such a huge impact on EROS like this. He continued kissing my neck and hugging me until my body began reacting to his seductive touches.
.....
“Come back to me, Elena,” EROS whispered seductively in my ear.
What other choice did I have? I can’t stand out here all night in his arms...
“Will you promise not to mistreat me again?” I asked.
“Mistreat you? Why would I ever do that?” EROS asked in pure surprise.
“You should ask for permission...” I told him clearly.
He cocked his head to the side as if still confused. I wondered what was so hard to understand about that.
“I thought you wanted it...maybe I misjudged or maybe...you’re just too stubborn to admit it,” he said with a thoughtful face as if he truly was trying to figure it out.
“That’s...” I whispered.
That’s ridiculous. How can he say such a thing?
“Never mind. I’ll make sure to ask properly the next time that we do it,” he said casually.
I did not miss that he was already referring to the next time.
“There’s a clause prohibiting sexual activity in the contact,” I reminded him.
“Oh, that? Take it out. Since we’re renewing the contract, we might as well fix the terms all in one go,” he said like it was no big deal.
“You should go back now...” I said, not wanting to deal with him any longer.
“What about tonight?” EROS asked seductively.
“What about tonight?” I asked in return.
“You live alone, don’t you?” he asked suggestively.
“I don’t work on a Sunday. That’s not even the main issue...I don’t want to...” I said sternly.
“I think I can change your mind in less than a minute...” EROS said with certainty.
I didn’t want to find out...
“Go back. If you want the contract renewed, you will start listening to what I say and following my instructions,” I demanded strictly.
“I didn’t know that you could be so mean and controlling. Not that I mind...” EROS said, and his arms completely freed me from his overbearing hug.
I breathed a little easier now that he had stepped away from me.
“Goodnight,” I blurted before almost running into the building.
“Goodnight, Elena...” EROS said with a satisfied smile.
I turned back to see him waving at me before he placed the black face mask that was part of his disguise back on his face again.
...
“Ok, so what you’re telling me is that all three of your clients are asking to remove the condition prohibiting sex from the contract, is that correct? Seriously, girl. All three at once?” Justin asked with his eyes opened wide.
“Yeah,” I replied not knowing what else to say.
“Well, that’s not a problem for me, if it’s not a problem for you. Honestly, I’m glad to have all three clients back,” Justin said with a sigh of relief.
I had given Justin a call bright and early on Monday morning to get this load off my chest. Apparently, it came across as pretty good news for Justin and his business.
“Are you sure about this?” he asked with worry.
“Yes,” I replied.
I had spent a lot of time last night, thinking long and hard about these three contracts and my three clients. After debating with myself for hours and not reaching any conclusion, I decided that the best way was just to give it a go so that I could see for myself how it would play out.
“Well, if you’re sure, then I’ll process the documents. While I’m doing that. If you’re fine with it, Mister CEO has requested to see you for dinner,” Justin said.
“Today?” I asked to make sure that I understood him correctly.
“Yes, today,” Justin replied, suddenly sounding tired.
“Ok...” I replied with a nod although Justin couldn’t see it through our phone call.
“By the way, Mark, from EROS’s agency wants to see you too,” Justin informed me and I knew that he was worried.
I wasn’t sure what Mark wanted to talk to me about since I already gave Eros the green light to launch the new single.
“I’ll talk to him,” I replied casually.
“OK then,” Justin said.
Apparently, Mark had asked to meet with me in private, but Justin disagreed. So instead, we will be meeting at Justin’s office. Ever since I started working with Justin and his agency, I haven’t been to his office at all because it wasn’t required. This was the first time that I would be in Justin’s office. When I arrived at the address that Justin had provided me, Mark was already there waiting.
Justin led us to a small meeting room so that the three of us could have a chat. I wasn’t sure why Justin was acting very overprotective, but he wouldn’t leave Mark and I to have a private conversation. It didn’t bother me that Justin wanted to stay.
“I know you’re busy, so I’m going to get straight to the point,” Mark said.
I nodded my head to show him that he had my full attention.
“EROS told me that he sent the demo of his new song to you. Is that true?” he asked straightforwardly.
