Somehow Will and Tessa ended up on the sofa that was pushed up against the left wall in Will's office. This was the one wall that people could not see through the floor-to-ceiling windows. And it just so happened that there was a quilt on the black sofa, therefore, they used that to cover them up.
If you walked into the office you'd see Tessa light blue button up blouse draped on Will's desk, her skirt laying lazily on the chair in front of his desk, and her undergarments sprawled out everywhere. Will's clothes laid around in similar positions. You'd also see the rug, by the sofa, rucked up and papers and pens and binders on the floor by Will's desk.
The room looked like a mess but Tessa and Will did not care, they would worry about that later.
The only thing that mattered were the both of them. Tessa had her hands on both sides of Will's face, her back was slightly arched as there chest touched, and her leg one leg was bent trapping Will in between her legs. That leg somehow popped out of the blanket and soon if someone were watching they would see Will's hand slide up her bare thigh.
Will was above Tessa and his hands were splayed across her back, arching her more. His lips moved from her mouth to her neck for the millionth time that evening. And yes it was evening. They were interrupted thirty minutes before. But Will had said that Tessa and him were working on a highly important project. He also told the janitors to not come clean his office. Therefore, while the janitors worked elsewhere and the employees left to go home Will and Tessa stayed in his office. They kissed as the winter sun set early.
Now Will left tender love bites along her neck and groaned in pleasure while Tessa moaned. Her head falling back so that it hit the sofa's arm. Tessa's lips parted and she gasped when Will's lips dared travel lower than her collarbone. He kissed each of her sensitized breast and then moved lower and lower, Tessa arching her back higher and higher. This time without Will's hand.
Then Will flipped their positions and Tessa was on top. She sat up and flattened her hands on his chest. He then wrapped his arms around her body and brought her down to his lips, which claimed Tessa's.
The bright lights of New York city glowed through the windows, shedding light into the spacious office. Will placed a tender kiss on Tessa's cheek, she looked sleepy as she lay in his arms. But she perked up when he kissed her. Tessa then stroked his chest and sighed. A sigh of contentment.
"Downtown New York is so beautiful at night." Tessa stated, she sounded inebriated, which was most likely the result of her being tired.
"Just like you." Will placed a hot, opened mouthed, kiss on Tessa's shoulder. Sending shivers down her spine. Then instantly warming her to point where she felt like she was only fire.
Tessa shifted so that she could stare into Will's deep, blue eyes. Those three words were right on the tips of her tongue. Little did she know that they were on Will's too.
"The city is also luminescent at night."
"Just like you, my bright star." Tessa blushed and closed her eyes just as Will placed yet another hot kiss, and this time, on her nose.
And then they were just staring at each other. In silence they watched one another. Unspoken words traveled through them. Or rather words were spoke but not out loud. Feeling as if nothing, or anyone, could break their intimate and tender moment, Tessa cuddled closer to Will. She broke their gaze and snuggled her head into Will's chest.
There she closed her eyes and went to sleep. Will soon felt Tessa's breathing slow and he soon found himself drifting off into a dreamless, yet peaceful, sleep.
Tessa woke up to the sun, hot against her face. She had forgotten where she was and was about to hop up when she realized she was naked. And that Will's arms were wrapped around her waist. She smiled and looked down at him.
He was so peaceful when he slept. His eyelashes just brushed his cheeks and she could see the blue behind his eyelids. His lips were also slightly parted and were utterly kissable.
If only they had confessed their love for one another last night. If Will could just talk to his dad and shred that contract, they would be together. Will's ring could be on Tessa's finger, they could be together without lying to people. They could be a normal couple. Yet Tessa felt something deep within her. You will never be together, it was not a feeling but instead words.
Words that belonged to Rebecca. And she remembered the threat. All night she forgot about those hateful words, that threat that Rebecca would ruin Tessa's life. No doubt ruin Will's too. No matter what Rebecca said, she knew Will would lose his job. No way around it. Thinking back now, how could Tessa have been gullible enough to sleep with Will? And expect Rebecca not to somehow find out?
Or rather how could Tessa sleep with another man, when she was already getting married to another? However, wrong it was Tessa did not want to back out her relationship with Sebastian. But she wanted a relationship with Will. She knew that she wanted Will more than Sebastian. Nevertheless, she could not think of breaking off their engagement. And , more so, there was Rebecca. Always looming over Tessa with her dark threat.
After slipping on her underwear and bra Tessa quickly slid on her stockings and skirt. However, just as Tessa was about to throw on her blouse she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her from behind. Immediately Tessa wanted to just relax in them but she fought to not do so.
"Don't do this to me again." Will whispered, his lips pressed against her ear as he said it.
"Don't do what?" Tessa said firmly, trying not to succumb to Will's arms like she did the previous night. But he was slowly breaking down her make-shift walls that she had put up that very morning.
He kissed her bare shoulder. "Don't leave me. Like you did that morning of our first night together." Will whipped her around and kissed her.
Tessa let him, her walls broke down and now Will was charging in. She slid her hands up his biceps until she reached his neck. And then she pulled away when he began to slide his tongue in her mouth.
"No," she said, more firmly than her previous words.
"Tess, I've come to believe that you have bipolar actions." He smiled, although it did not reach his eyes. Tessa, however, did not even grin at Will's bipolar joke.
"Rebecca threatened me yesterday." Tessa stated, staring down at her feet. She decided to just have blurted it out. Mind as well have told Will.
"She did what now?" Anger flashed in Will's eyes, all traces of any other emotion left him and he was no longer holding Tessa.
"We bumped into each other at this store and she threatened me. She said that she knew that we had slept together." Tessa then put on her best suspenseful look. "Did you just happen to tell her, Will?"
Will looked down and began to slide on his clothes. Avoiding her questioning.
"Will, answer me now." Tessa's voice was calm, yet there was an edge. Had he told her.
"She was suspicious of you, Tess. I tried to shy her away from the subject but she was forceful. And she kept guessing what happened between us and she guessed right. I didn't exactly prove her wrong. She won't carry her threat through. She's all talk." Will watched Tessa's expression.
"You had sex with her, didn't you?" Tessa asked, her voice still calm but some fury had seeped into it. When Will didn't answer her question she screamed. "Did you sleep with her?"
"Yes, OK. I lied alright. After she guessed that we slept together I-I don't know."
"You liar! Not only did you lie to me but you had sex with me, like everything was damn dandy! And I was just stupid enough to think that I was the wrong one. That just maybe we could work through this contract that forbids us to be together. That I break things off with Sebastian and be with you. But I was wrong! You know what forget everything I said. Rebecca did not threaten me. And what ever we did last night did not happen." Tessa then stalked out of the room, accidentally, leaving behind her engagement ring on the floor next to the couch.
Will slumped against a wall and slid down it. He hadn't told Rebecca about him and Tessa. And he sure as hell didn't sleep with Rebecca. But once Will knew that Rebecca threatened Tessa it was only a matter of time before Rebecca carried out her threat. And she would carry out her threat just as soon as Tessa slipped up or something. Will had to tell Tessa what he did. That was only a stall. Tessa would come around again and he had to think of a better excuse the next time.
He did not want to do that to Tessa. No not at all. Will did not want to pretend that he did not love Tessa. He did not want to act like just seeing her in person got him worked out. Last night, or rather that morning, he was going to tell her that he loved her. Then hopefully she would have said it back. Will would then find a way to destroy that stupid contract or maybe talk to his dad. Either way Will and Tessa were going to be together and still have a job, without a major scandal. However, now that Rebecca knew and threatened Tessa there was no way Will could do that now.
But maybe Will could-
There was a knock at the door but the person did not wait for Will to answer instead he or she walked in. Will was about to say something when he saw who it was.
"Hi honey," Rebecca sashayed in with her blonde hair falling almost to her back and her hot pink lips poke out. She meant to kiss Will on the mouth but he moved his face and got a kiss right on his cheek.
Rebecca placed her Ralph Lauren drawstring bag on Wills couch. To Will's relief she missed the fact that Tessa's ring lay on the ground. She then place her tan trench coat right on top of the blanket that lay lazily, almost falling off the sofa.
As she walked towards Will she began to unbuttoned the top four buttons of her fuchsia colored short sleeved blouse. Will barely paid attention, as he stared at the ground.
It wasn't until she said something did he notice that half of her blouse was unbuttoned and a good portion of her breast were out. "Will, we haven't so much a had an intimate touch yet. We are getting married. And I am expected to perform a wife's duty."
"Rebecca, now is not the time." Will pushed her off of him, she had progressed to come close enough to touch him. "I have to ask you something." He was so angry at her, yet he did nothing whatsoever to try and walk out out.
"Have sex with me, Will?" Her voice was now desperate. "Right here, on the desk, in that chair, standing up, on the sofa. I don't care Will. I feel like you don't care about me." She clung to his shirt front and he hoped she smelled Tessa's perfume.
"It's something about Tessa."
Rebecca rolled her eyes. "I don't want to talk about her. I want you to love me."
Will then went off and grabbed Rebecca turning around and throwing pinning her against the desk. He then pushed his face right up close to hers.
"Why did you threaten Tessa?"
She smiled, "I see you want me." Rebecca indicated at how Will had her pressed up against the desk.
Will was about to move away when Rebecca caught him off guard and kissed him. At first Will was surprised. What surprised him was the fact that Rebecca kissed him, not that she had not kissed before. What also surprised him was the fact that her lips felt different than Tessa. They seemed more full, almost like they would swallow up his mouth. Meanwhile, Tessa's lips fit perfectly against his. It was just uncomfortable the way Rebecca kissed him, to put it simple.
Yet Will did nothing to to push her off of him. And sooner, rather than later, Will felt her tongue dart and that's when he got some common sense. He started to push her away but then he heard a gasp. And it did not come from Rebecca's mouth.
Will turned around to face where the gasp had come from, and had found Tessa standing there. Her mouth slightly open, but was covered by her hand. A mixture of emotions flitted through her eyes. However, Will caught anger, resentment, and regret in her expression. Maybe even embarrassment.
But as Rebecca and Will both focused on her she stood up straight and seemed to put up a wall. Without showing any emotion on her face, she walked over to the sofa and bent down. She picked up something, her ring, and walked out. But not before saying, "sorry to interrupt, but I left something here last night." Then without another word she walked out.
"Don't, try and go after her, Will." He had took his hands off of Rebecca and started to follow Tessa out the door. "That's how your going to destroy. Keep on doing what your doing and she goes down."
"You, bitch, I know you threatened her." Will said, disgusted with himself that he let her kiss him.
"Obviously she didn't get the message." Rebecca flipped her hair over her shoulder and glared at Will.
"We did not do anything. Okay? We handled some late night work."
Rebecca laughed, although it didn't sound genuine. "I thought you were a good liar, but apparently your not. I know you two have had sex. And I know you slept together the day before she started working here." Will expected her to seem devastated, mad, annoyed. But no she seemed anything but that.
"What do you plan to do with that information?" Will asked, choosing his words carefully.
"Nothing if you just be my husband. I understand now that I'm not the right one. Okay, I get that." Rebecca crossed her arms and took a breath. "I also get that your not attracted to me or anything like that. I mean our father's can't force us to love one another. But right now your benefiting me, Will. You could say I'm profiting off of you. My father's company was never big. But when he partnered with your company, he profited. And now that we're about to be married, I get attention and fame and anything you could think of. And by the angel's sake I will keep it. I'll use you as a title and vice versa."
Will smiled, but it held no sincerity. "So if we're just a title then why can't I see Tessa. Despite the obvious fact that she's engaged. And also why do you care whether I'm into Tessa or not."
"Because if you were to grow some balls and come out and say that you love Tessa then we'll be broken up and all this controversy will start to happen. Then my father's business will go under and soon your's will too. Everything will go under. Do you want that?"
"Wait so if you act on your threat won't that happen. you'll be destroying both our parents company. So your point?" Will said, smiling but the smile disappeared as he looked at Rebecca's face.
"Well then I'll make sure she regrets ever meeting you. I'll destroy her, meanwhile I'll be safe while you will be too." She smirked and continued. "Did I mention that being engaged to you also gave me allies. Yes. I have people everywhere."
"Why are you going to do this to Tessa?" Will shook her head. "So if I were to talk my dad out of marrying you and end of with Tessa, you'll make her life hell?"
"I did not do it yet, my dear. But I will do it if she comes in between us. I never even considered that there would be a chance between us. I gave up on that false hope long ago. That act that I put up just minutes before your little whore came in, well it was an act. I tested you and you failed. I just wanted to see if we could establish a sex-only-relationship inside our fake marriage."
"You'e sick. I hope you know that." And then Will realized something. "Where did you really go?"
Rebecca was looking at her perfectly filed pink nails and sighed. "If I told you then I'd have to destroy Tessa."
"What-" will started but Rebecca cut him off.
"I have work to be done in New Jersey, so I won't be at your father's dinner tonight. But my father is having an awards banquet on Monday and I expect you to be there." She slid on her coat and walked to the door. "That was what I really came here to tell you."
"You retarded-"
"I'll be wearing royal blue." And she walked out.
A/N
Hey Guys! So I know Will and Tessa seem like total cowards and stuff. But it won't last long. Rebecca will get what she deserves. Sooner rather than later. Therefore, expect some major Will-stuff and expect a change in Tessa. And if the conversation between Will and Rebecca is confusing then don't worry. I'll come back to fix that later. Meaning I'll put more explanation in. Because I even confused myself writing it. Also excuse my terrible grammar. That will also be fixed later on.
This is a short A/N but I'll say one more thing. In the next five-seven chapters, expect the amazing Jem to make a special debut. Even though he's been introduced in the earlier chapters, he will cause drama later. And be more of a main character. Therefore, Jem-fans will be maybe- maybe!- Jessa fans will be happy...hint...hint...hint. And Mortmain will come along too.
Anyway thanks for the amazing reviews, they greatly inspire me and I highly appreciate them with everything that I have! I love them and love you guys!
Until next week
