Golden Star Dreams
Chapter 5: Just Practice
Co-worker: "Oh! You are sooo lucky Sosh'! I would kill to be in your place!"
Me: "Yea? Well here's a knife…"
It's been a few days since Mr. Kenji made his somewhat chilling comment. I only say somewhat because there really is no sense of fear when I'm around my boss. If anything, it's just… playful banter. Suggestive, but playful. For the rest of the week, life moved along pretty normally. Every once in a while, I would cross paths with his paralyzing, amber-laced gaze sizing me up for whatever was going on through his mind at the time. He's even shown up at my job (with security escorts of course) on a few occasions requesting from the manager that only I would be allowed to serve him; and tonight would be one of those… visits…
He took his regular seat, which was at the bartender's table, and flashed me a mischievous smile as he propped his elbow on the counter resting his head in his palm. Grabbing a fork, I tapped his elbow and took a sassy stance.
"No elbows on the table!" I said rather playfully, though I would regret initiating the small talk.
"Miss Ariko, I'm shocked that you would even talk to me in such a way. I am your boss after all…"
Raising my eyebrow at him, I rolled my eyes and glanced at the clock hanging to the left of me.
"Actually Mr. Kenji, since I work here, from the start of my shift to the end of it, you have no control over me. My boss is back there doing his job and not harassing his employees."
I heard him chuckle with a short 'heh' before shooting me that scheming look of his. He was up to something and I could just feel it in my bones. A rather large booklet was passed across the table to me and I picked it up seeing it was a script. Could it be that he had actually gotten me an actress job?
"After work, you're going to help me practice a part for a movie I'm doing. Consider this your first lesson."
'Damn… Dream denied.' "Um, actually Mr. Kenji, I'll be at work pretty much until 1:30 in the morning. Might we be able to do this tomorrow?"
"Hmph… I can wait. And besides, you have to make yourself available to work for me after you leave here…"
"Oh c'mon Mr. Kenji!"
"Do you want the practice or not?"
"…"
"I'll see you then."
"… Bastard." I whispered when he left.
~~~(-.-) Kirby snores till the next scene~~~
He knew she would hate him. He knew she would protest the action. He even guessed that she would threaten to quit. Even if the woman did quit, he would still keep chase. Somehow, he looked forward to seeing her fight his advances; only because he knew she would give in to him eventually. No woman could resist him for too long for she would always succumb to his charm. They all did and Soshi Ariko would be no different. The scariest thing about this situation was that the man knew of his power over women. He exploited it; using it to satisfy his boredom and urges. As the actor fixed up his home to suit a couple in a romantic setting, he couldn't help but smirk at the lovely daydreams he was having about his newest soon-to-be conquest.
'She put up a great chase, but alas; it will be I who comes out on top… literally.' He mused a little darkly.
A knock on his door slightly startled him, but he shook the nerves away to walk over to the door and open it letting in his dear assistant. She was a bit hesitant to come inside, so he simply reached for her hand to silently insist that there was nothing to fear. Surprisingly the girl let him take her hand in his and pulled her along to his kitchen. Slick and chic, his kitchen was perfectly clean with pristine counters and stainless steel that actually remained stainless. Every appliance was silver with dark colored, wooden cabinets and a large island placed in the middle of the room. This was indeed a kitchen fit for a star.
Sesshoumaru reached to the top of the counter pulling out the same script he had shown Soshi and its carbon copy, passing one the girl leaning against his island counters. Taking a brief moment to look over his assistant, the actor circled around her slowly going from one side to the other. Even in her unappealing work clothes, consisting of those disgusting, beige khaki pants and an oversized black T-shirt, Soshi had left much to the imagination as to what was underneath; just waiting to be ravaged by his lips. He had almost given himself away as the tip of his tongue threatened to poke out of his mouth wanting to lick lips with hunger. With a quiet growl, he bit his lower lip and cleared his throat and his mind of the lewd thoughts rampaging around in his brain.
"Now then… shall we begin, Miss Ariko?"
With a yawn, Soshi stretched arching her back in such a way that the actor was trapped in a daze of the provocative gesture that Soshi didn't know she was performing.
"Yeah, yeah… what page?" She responded sleepily.
"Page thirty… Act five… Scene ten. It happens to be about a couple trying to resolve their issues in their off and on relationship. Very cliché, yes…"
"Gotcha. So I guess I'm the woman in this scene?"
"Unless you want to take my place as the leading man…"
Soshi giggled before clearing her own throat and shaking away the sleep from her raven-black eyes. She gladly went to read her lines first. Sesshoumaru was quite impressed with her acting skills; and it was only the first line. With a smile of approval, he pressed forward with the scene pacing back and forth on the kitchen floor delivering lines with such sheer emotional force and Soshi following up just as powerfully; indeed, one would think that the two were actually a fighting couple, throwing their emotions out on the table and (fake) crying every once in a while. Soshi then turned from Sesshoumaru, her mid-length, red-streaked, black hair whipping gracefully around with her head and she read her next line.
"Why… Why must you torment me with your presence?"
"Because I'm in love with you!"
Soshi then turned back to face her boss; his face heavily wearing the expression of a hurt lover who wants nothing more than to be with the girl he loves… the one he desires. His face seemed so realistic, that it obviously took the girl by surprise and Soshi fumbled through the pages to find her line.
"I-I… love you too…" She whispered, though she meant to deliver the line a lot louder.
For one reason or another, Sesshoumaru couldn't help but smirk as he looked down to read his own dialogue. There was no dialogue. In fact, it was an action that he would gladly perform… if given the opportunity.
Which happened to be now…
"Why the sudden stop Mr. Kenji? Are we done…? Oh… yea, we're done. We are totally done. I hope I have helped you out enough to get you through the day. Um… I'll just see you later ok?"
Sesshoumaru kept his sly smile as he watched her gather her things in a flustered hurry. He saw her frantically pick up the phone and nearly laughed when Soshi saw that the number belonged to his cell. Her piercing, furious stare would not steer him from his course. He wanted the girl and he would have her.
"Oh, but Miss Ariko…" He said lowly; setting his phone on the far counter of the kitchen. Then, almost instantly, the actor pounced on Soshi, pinning the girl against the island counter with his palms on either side of her; the force of his primal pin making her drop her things instantaneously. He slowly leaned in to graze his lips along her jaw line before tickling them over her sensitive ears.
"You can't just leave without finishing your… shift, it's very unprofessional…"
"Mr… Mr. Kenji, this is unprofessional! I'm your assistant and you're my friggin' boss!"
"A boss with needs…" He whispered into her ear causing the assistant to shudder from his hot breath hitting her skin lightly.
As his weight kept her in place, the two were locked in a quiet stare with the only sounds coming from their heavy breathing. He could see the shock on her face and with a mischievous grin, barely showing his canines, Sesshoumaru leaned in and took hold of her lips with his own; loving the soft and plump feel to the point where he couldn't get enough. Even her hand, tiny in comparison to his body, couldn't keep him from his desires as he teasingly leaned forward to test the resistance she was giving him; which, surprisingly, was a lot.
His eyelids drooped halfway, and the irises that were once a bright golden tint, were now full of hazy, uninhibited…
Lust…
