“Don’t, love, me, Bash. What is your problem? What was that big shit you were talking on the phone about me defying you, and how you would deal with me? I’m here now, so deal with me.” I don’t know where this fight and fire are coming from, but dammit, I don’t want it to dry out any time soon.
He gets up from his desk, comes around to stand in front of me, and says, “Don’t start something you won’t be able to finish, Athens.” He seethes.
“Oh, I’m sorry, am I interrupting something here?” I wait for an answer as he stares at me with a sinister look on his face, paired with a dark smile. “Good, because now you know how it feels to be interrupted and accused of something when all you are doing is working. When have I ever given you a reason to believe I was cheating on you? Huh?”
“Athens, let me make something clear.” He says, grabbing me around my neck, yanking me to him. I’m caught off guard and can only reach out and claw at his hands. “I own you, not the other way around. I’m the Alpha and you are the Omega which means, you all but bow down to me.”
He throws everything off his desk and tosses me on top of it as he begins fumbling with the zipper on his slacks.
“Stop. Bash.” I groan, but it goes unheard as he tears my shirt, exposing my back.
“You don’t tell me what to do, Athens.” He hikes up my skirt, rips my panties off, and rams his dick inside as I let out an ear piercing scream. “Scream all you want, love, nobody will come to save you.” He grunts, pumping into me with a force so strong, I’m going to have bruises on my hips, legs, and stomach.
His hand snakes into my hair, grabs a fistful, and yanks so hard, I’m sure he pulled some out. “This is my pussy, everything you have, even your very soul belongs to me.” I close my eyes and go to a place far away from here, because I can’t stand to be where I’m at.
“Athens! Athens, wake up!”
Shaking my head, I look up and into Bash’s soft eyes.
“What happened?”
“You don’t remember?”
“Remember what?” He pauses, and studies me, making sure I’m really okay.
“You fainted, darling. Here, let me help you up.” He says, taking my hand and elbow, assisting me up. I sway on my feet from the dizziness that engulfs me. “Whoa, be careful, dear.”
“Oh goodness, I must have been worn out.” I laugh.
“I think you should lie down in bed instead of this chair.”
“What happened to my clothes?” I ask, looking down at myself.
“When you fainted, you knocked over a vase full of flowers and water. You were drenched so I changed you.” He answers, cracking a smile.
“You didn’t have to do that, you should have woken me up.” I tap his chest.
“You looked so peaceful, I didn’t want to disturb you.”
“You’re so thoughtful, thanks for helping me up.” I say as a sharp pain threatens to pull me back under. “Oh, my back hurts, did I hit something on my way down?”
“You mean, besides the vase?” He chuckles, causing me to laugh as well. “Come on, let’s get you in bed.”
Once there, I very carefully lay down, snuggling under the covers when Bash comes to sit next to me. “I’ll be in the study, I have more business deals to close and whatnot. I’ll be up later, but I want you to rest now.”
“Okay, that sounds like a good idea.” I whisper, trying to get comfortable.
“Goodnight, my love.”
“Goodnight.”

Athens
I’msodeepinmy thoughts, that I don’t even hear when Cressida comes into the room.
“Hello, earth to Athens, are you there?” She waves her hand in front of my face, pulling a smile from me.
