The CEO's Painted Skin

Catherine and Jerome were standing outside the entrance of the church.

"So, where do you want to go now?"

"Let"s call it a day, Jerome. Let"s meet some other time." Catherine scanned her eyes around the surrounding area of the Plaza. Then her eyes landed on the car that parked near the bakery. She can see Ramon"s outline leaning outside of the car.

Jerome followed her gaze.

"What are you looking at?"

She looked at him surprised that he was still beside her. "Go now, Jerome. I"m waiting for my cousin here, we will go somewhere tonight."

"Okay. You take care of yourself on your way home later. If your cousin won"t be able to fetch you, just call me and I will take you to your house."

"Okay. Take care."

She released a sigh of relief when Jerome finally wore his helmet, he starts the engine of his motorbike, glides into the street and finally disappeared from her sight. She quickly checked her iPhone, she was shocked to see many calls from John!

c.r.a.p!

She had never seen him so angry before, she doesn"t want to see him in an angry state, afraid of what she might discover. Her body s.h.i.+vered in fright.

She just stays rooted on the spot where she is currently standing debating between running away, ride a tricycle straight home or walk towards John"s car.

...

While inside John"s car, he was already seething in anger.

"What the h.e.l.l is she waiting for? Why she isn"t moving towards his car?"

He was staring at her waiting for her to walk towards his car, but she was not moving at all. His patience is wearing off.

He tapped the window.

"Get inside Ramon, Catherine was waiting over there for a ride."

Ramon gets inside the car and starts the engine, he maneuvers the car towards the place where Catherine was standing. The car stopped in front of Catherine, Ramon got out of the car and open the pa.s.senger door for her to enter.

Catherine hesitated for a few seconds but she entered the car anyways thinking she has no choice either, too late to do anything.

John was not looking at her.

"Let"s head back to Makati, Ramon," he ordered aloud.

"No! Let"s just talk here in the Plaza, John," she protested.

He ignored her.

"To Makati Ramon, drive now!" John"s voice was ice cold and steel hard.

F*ckk! I"m so dead right now, Catherine told herself. She felt her hands and legs trembled.

John saw that her hands and legs were shaking.

"Are you okay, Catherine?" he asked worriedly.

Catherine didn"t answer. She fixed her eyes outside the window afraid to meet his gaze.

He reached for her hands that were on her lap and covered it with his own.

John"s warm hands sent tiny heat into her body. Somehow she felt better after he touches her hands and her legs were no longer shaking. She calmed a little bit. Still, she refused to meet his gaze.

The ride was smooth as always. John no longer touches Catherine nor initiates a conversation with her.

But she was aware that he frequently glanced in her direction. The atmosphere inside the car was starting to get tense again as minutes pa.s.s by.

Finally, they arrived at the Infinity Jade Tower more than one hour, the car parked on the bas.e.m.e.nt and not in the entrance of the building.

John got out of the car first and opened the door for Catherine.

She followed him inside the elevator.

He pressed the 15th-floor b.u.t.ton.

Catherine put a distance between them, she was on the opposite side, and he was on the other side, they stared at each other"s eyes.

Then John walked towards her, she has nowhere to hide.

When Jhon was already at her side. She tries to edge to the other side.

"Stop moving Catherine!" he ordered.

She froze, then he whispered something into her ears.

"You"re behaving like a bad girl today, Catherine. I will punish you later!" he said in a hard voice.

OMG! Her knees wobbled underneath her weight. She felt nervous all of a sudden. She has to grip the handle of the elevator hard in order to steady herself. The last time she felt this extreme nervousness was when John pointed a gun in her temple on that terrifying night inside his room in the hacienda, she nearly fainted during those times.

Now why she was feeling it again?

Will John do something bad to her again?

Or maybe because she feels she was guilty of so many things today.

She was thankful that the elevator ride was fast enough because it was quite suffocating in there and now they were walking towards his flat. John input his pa.s.sword and pressed his fingerprints on the home security system scanner. After a few seconds of waiting the door to his flat opened. She hesitated to enter, she knew once she goes inside, she will be forever in his mercy.

John saw the hesitation in her eyes, he reached for her hand and pulled her inside and the door closed behind them. John tore his mask off his face and throw it on the sofa, he also s.n.a.t.c.hed and throw her shoulder bag in the sofa as well...then he lifted Catherine"s body and wrapped her legs around his hips.

She gasped.

As he was carrying her towards his bedroom, she struggled.

"Put me down, John!" she demanded.

"No my princess. You need to be punished today for angering me!" then he started kissing her breast still clad with her blouse.

She gasped again, mouth open. She holds on to his head afraid she will fall.

When they were already inside his bedroom, he dumped her a bit roughly into his bed. The good thing was his bed so soft and fluffy her body just bounced on the surface.

"Let"s play a game as your punishment, Catherine!" he grinned with the excitement glistening in his eyes.

"Catherine, you want to go home tonight?" he asked her.

She just nodded her head, afraid to speak, she has no idea what is the game he was planning for her tonight.

"Just choices, choose what you like," he grinned again.

"Let"s begin with the first choice."

"Hard or soft? Choose one Catherine!"

"Soft," she answered.

"With Clothes or naked?"

"With clothes..."

"Lights off or on?"

"Off..."

"Penetration or no?"

"No...!"

"On top or below"

She was confused...

"On top..."

"Ten o.r.g.a.s.ms or five?"

Catherine"s eyes widen. WTF?

"Five..."

John chuckled. "You know what your choices are meant for Catherine?"

"W-what?" she stammered.

"You have to give me five o.r.g.a.s.m total for tonight or else you can"t go home, you will have to do it on top of me with all our clothes intact. Lights off and do it soft."

Grrrrrrr! She glared at him.

"...Or you can let me do my own thing with your body, but I want it hard and I want penetration tonight. Choose...," he smirked.

She bit her lip. "I"ll do it my way!"

"Okay, as you say so," he pinched her nose playfully.

"Wait here, I will be back." He chuckled and exited the room loving the perplexed emotion showing on her face.

Five minutes later...John was back with a bottle of red wine in his right hand and gla.s.s on the other. He poured wine on the gla.s.s and gave it to Catherine. "Drink it, it will warm you up."

She obeyed, as soon as she finishes drinking the gla.s.s of wine, she felt hotness starting to envelop her body...her face flushed.

John eyed her liking what she saw in her face. He poured another wine into the gla.s.s and gives it to Catherine. She drinks it in one go. John grinned while looking at her. Then he drinks two gla.s.s of wine as well.

"Wait for me," he smirked while exiting the bedroom.

Catherine can"t understand what she felt, her body started getting hotter...she starts taking off her blouse then next her jeans, she throws her clothes on the floor, the only fabric that covers her modesty was her black bra and black panties. She felt a little bit better after removing all her clothes.

When the door opens, John grinned and licked his lips, he was already in the state of drooling. "Wow! You undress too fast. I thought you don"t want to get naked? What happened to the clothes "on" you choose earlier?" he beamed.

Then slowly he starts undressing in front of her...his eyes never leaving her face.

Catherine swallowed her own saliva. Her hands were gripping hard on the bedsheet around her.
