Chapter 1: Something About Me
MICHAEL
Jane leaves. She walks away and Michael's heart breaks. She says that it is because he lied, but deep down inside he knows that that's not all it is. She has feelings for Rafael, or she would have done the more Jane-like thing and they would have sat down and talked about it. He knows that she's using this as an excuse to end things so she can explore her feelings for Rafael without feeling guilty. He knows all of this because he knows her.
PETRA
Petra knows Rafael has feelings for Jane, but their marriage was failing before she even entered the picture. She does love him in her own way, but now he's taking everything away from her and he doesn't understand how it affects her. But how could he understand? He doesn't even know her. Her mother wants her to sue Raphael for domestic abuse, but Petra does have some lines she's hesitant about crossing. Unfortunately for everyone else, her mother is there whispering in her ear… All she wants, all she needs is one voice telling her not to do it, but who would be that voice? Petra has no one.
A WEEK LATER
Jane and Rafael are dating. Roman Zazo is dead, murdered to be exact, and Detective Michael Cordero Jr. is on the case.
Petra is determined to find a way to make things right with Rafael as she enters the elevator. The doors are about to close when Michael steps in. He's there to interview them both and some of their staff members about Roman especially since Rafael was his best friend and Petra was having an affair with him.
"Petra," Michael says in greeting.
"Michael," She says with a nod as she presses the button on the elevator. There is clear tension in the air, and it feels like the longest elevator ride both of them have ever been on. They think it's about to end when the elevator stops abruptly. They hear a voice through the intercom.
"Sorry for the inconvenience, the area is experiencing a power outage. The generators will be up and running in five minutes, but this elevator has not been connected to the new power supply. We have called in a repairman, but we don't know how long it will be until you're out of there."
Michael sighs and slumps to the floor, closing his eyes. He doesn't hear Petra say anything. If it was Jane, she would have been talking non-stop. He feels curious because of the silence and opens his eyes. She's standing there, frozen in shock when all of sudden she drops to her knees and holds her chest. She starts breathing really hard.
Michael places a hand on her shoulder softly, "Petra, are you okay? What is it? What's wrong?"
"I-I-I think I'm having a panic attack. The walls are closing in."
"Just try to think of good things, happy things."
"Like what?" Petra says, still breathing really hard, but if she wasn't then she would have been laughing. What exactly about her life screamed good or happy to Michael.
"Family, friends, the hotel, Rafael, I mean not Rafael, oh god," Michael says flustered, "Okay uh just try and slow your breathing."
"I can't, I can't," Petra says.
"Petra, look at me," He says and grabs her face gently with his hands, forcing her to look at him.
Then he does the only thing he can think of… He kisses her.
And she kisses him back.
The panic attack is gone, and they stop kissing but their faces are still so close together.
"How did you do that?" Petra asks, still breathless from their kiss.
"I saw in a tv show once that holding your breath can stop a panic attack and when I kissed you, you held your breath," Michael says, turning a little pink.
"Thanks. You're really smart," Petra smiles.
Michael smiles back and almost as if it was fate for their conversation to end there, the elevator begins working and by the time they stand up the elevator doors open.
Somehow that distraction is all Petra needs to not go along with her mother's plan. She heads to her suite to do some plotting while Michael goes to interview Rafael.
Nothing big comes up in his interview with Rafael, much to Michael's disappointment. He gets through a couple more interviews with the staff before heading over to Petra's.
Petra tries to figure out how to handle Rafael, but her mind keeps drifting to that damn detective – his blue eyes filled with concern and those impossibly soft lips. Why did that kiss affect her so much? She's been with other men before, men more objectively attractive than Michael Cordero, but there's just something about him - He's different. She can't get any work done like this. She needs to get him out of her mind. There's only one way Petra can think of to do that, she needs to get him out of her system and well to do that she needs to get him totally into her system first.
Michael knocks on her suite door. He doesn't know why Petra requested for the interview to be moved to her suite, but he knows arguing would be futile so he might as well go in and get it over with.
"Come in, it's open," He hears Petra say from inside the suite.
He enters the room and closes the door behind him. "Petra," He calls out.
"I'll be out in a minute. Why don't you make yourself comfortable, maybe pour yourself a drink?"
Michael furrows his eyebrows. They weren't friends, why was she offering him a drink or telling him to get comfortable. He sits down on the couch and begins thinking that maybe she wants him to go easy on her for the interview, but that's not necessary. The reason he left her interview until last was to make a squirm, she actually had an alibi and was seemingly innocent in this whole mess. They found evidence that showed the killer to be male, so she was ruled out by the law as Roman's murderer.
He doesn't know why he chose to tell her this in person. He could have told her lawyer or left a message, but a small part of him wants to see her again.
Moments later, Petra steps into the room wearing a low-cut sexy black dress that stops just after it covers her ass. She has the black heels to match and her long hair falls softly on her shoulders. She looks angelic and devilish all at the same time. Michael's jaw drops and then he shakes his head and takes a moment to compose himself.
"Hello Michael."
"Yeah hi. So, I actually just came to tell you that we don't really have any questions for you at this time," He says standing up.
She steps closer to him and begins talking. "Are you sure you don't have any questions for me?"
She stops once she's directly in front of him. He gulps nervously. "Not at this time."
"Well, what if I have a question for you?" She asks and then bites her lip.
"And what question would that be?" Michael says licking his own lips.
She pushes him hard and he falls back onto the bed. She straddles and whispers in his ear, "Do you want me as much as I want you right now?" She nibbles on his ear.
"Yes," He says but it comes out as deep whisper.
That's all she needs – that one word. He wants this, just as bad as she does.
She kisses him softly which is unlike her, but this is new territory for her too. Michael isn't like the other guys – She's not doing this because she wants something from him, she's doing it because she wants him. Maybe a part of her is also giving him the chance to back out, but he doesn't.
He deepens their kiss, and their tongues fight for dominance which surprisingly he wins. That's when he realizes, that's what Petra wants… She wants to fight, but she wants to be dominated.
While they're kissing, she rips his shirt open, the buttons go flying everywhere but neither of them seems to care at the moment. She helps him take it off and they continue kissing while he unzips her dress. He kisses her neck, and she lets out a little moan. He stands up, her legs still wrapped around his waist and walks to her bedroom. He slams her against her bedroom wall, and she bites her lip. He moves the straps of her dress down her arms while kissing her neck. She drops her legs to the floor to allow her dress to fall at her feet. His one hand moves from her waist to cup her ass and he uses the other hand to undo her brassiere. She uses her hands to undo her belt buckle and pants button and zipper while she kisses him. She can feel him pressed against her and she wants to see it, desperately.
He grabs her by the waist and throws her on the bed. It's somehow rough and gentle at the same time. He drops his pants and underwear and as he stands there in all his glory, Petra licks her lips at the thought of putting him in her mouth.
He pulls down her sexy black lace panties – they're soaking. "Fuck you're so wet. I can't wait to be inside you."
She doesn't think she can get more turned on, but somehow hearing the good, moral Michael say something dirty makes her even wetter. He pushes her legs further apart and uses his fingers to tease her.
"Fuck Michael I want you so bad right now."
He buries his face in her pussy and uses his tongue to make her scream. She grips at the bedsheets and just as she's about to cum, he stops and looks up at her. Then she grips his hair and forces him to keep going and he obliges. She moans so loud that if she had neighbours they would be complaining. He keeps going until she orgasms, legs shaking and eyes rolling to the back of her head.
He quickly puts a condom on while she recovers, well as much as she can in a short period.
"Are you sure?" He asks her one last time.
"Michael, you better get inside me right now."
"As you wish," He smirks.
He enters her and she moans in pleasure. He thrusts into her harder, going faster and then going slower. Torturing her, going slower just as she's about to cum.
"Fuck Cordero, stop teasing me!"
He goes faster and pumps inside of her, making her scream his name again and say way too many swear words in English and Czech.
"Fuck, I'm cumming," They say at the same time. They both orgasm and he rolls over so that he's next to her.
"I don't think I'm ever going to be able to move again," Petra sighs in pleasure. Michael smiles. Petra smiles too, she's never been so satisfied in her life.
Petra expects him to leave, that's what most guys do. But he doesn't, he stays and while they sleep, they cuddle.
THE NEXT MORNING
Petra's eyes open slowly, and she sees Michael's sleeping form. That's when she realizes he's been aptly named because he looks like an angel when he's sleeping. She sees that another part of him is up too. She licks her lips. One more time can't hurt right? One more time should definitely get him out of her system. (It doesn't).
She moves the covers out of the way and begins giving him a blowjob. Michael moans in his sleep. 'This feels too real to be a sex dream.' He opens his eyes and sees a blonde head of hair going up and down. Petra Solano was sucking his dick. She keeps going until he cums into her mouth and then she swallows.
She looks up at him innocently and he raises his eyebrow.
"Good morning." She bites her lip.
"A good morning indeed," Michael smirks.
Before either of them can say anything, Michael's phone rings. He answers and his face turns serious. "I'm sorry, I have to go," He says while gathering his clothes.
