His Little Pet

Chapter 6 - Business Trip

It was a very awkward three hour flight before we finally landed, not much was said after he told me I was going to be 'His little pet'.." What did that even mean?! Do I even want to know..?

The car stops as we arrive at a HUGE hotel, about 100 floors, with huge glass windows and a balcony coming off every room. I step out as the driver opens the door, and stare up at the magnificent building in awe. My parents may have owned one of the largest companies around, having a shitload of money, but that didn't mean they raised me to be an uptight, greedy, self-absorbed woman. They wanted me to have as much of a normal life as possible, so I didn't live a life of luxury. And I was perfectly okay with that, I liked the small comfortable life I was living. BUT, that doesn't mean I don't want to experience the life of a billionaire, even if it's only for a weekend. Might as well enjoy it while I have the chance, right?

I jump a little at the feel of Roman resting his hand on my shoulder.

"It's quite nice, isn't it? Wait until you see the rooms, that's where the real beauty is." He gently squeezes my shoulder as he pulls me along to the entrance doors.

"Let's go, Kätzchen."

~~~~~

He wasn't lying about the rooms. They were beyond any words I had to describe them. I could probably fit four of my apartments into this thing it was so big! The bathroom had a huge Jacuzzi tub, a separate shower twice the size, with one of those amazing rainfall showerheads, and sprayers along every wall. I had my own small kitchen and bar, and the bedroom..

My God, I could have lived in that one room alone. It was the most elegant, and intricately decorated room, fit for a queen in my eyes. Then there's the bed. It was like a slice of heaven, the absolute best bed I've ever been in, I didn't want to leave it.

I was getting so wrapped up in the quality of the room that I didn't realize Roman had been watching me waltz around the entire time, probably looking like a kid in a candy shop. I was laying in the bed, my body spread out like a starfish, as he leaned against the bedpost. I opened my eyes at the slight sound, and shot up out of bed at the sight of him.

He just smiled and quietly laughed to himself, as I suddenly felt self conscious with him staring at me. I don't know how to describe the look I was getting from him, but it made me feel as if I was suddenly standing there n.a.k.e.d, unable to move. Just then I swear my stomach made the loudest noise possible. I quickly grabbed at it, as if it would quiet the sound, and felt my face heat up slightly.

"You hungry, Kätzchen? Come on, we'll go down to the bar and grill and get something to eat. The meeting won't start for another hour and a half anyways" he chuckles as he starts to head towards the door.

"Well Mr. Li, I can see that you managed to find yourself a prized jewel here, now didn't you? She's going to be a great asset to your company. Make sure to treat her well, or someone else might swoop in and steal her away, you give them the chance to."

He lays a hand on my arm, and shows off a devilish grin.

"Oh don't worry Mr. Fields, I plan on keeping this one very, very close. Won't let her out of my sight."

I blush lightly as I look away, looking to Mr. Fields now.

"Thank you Mr. Fields for excepting my deal. It's honestly a great honor, and I appreciate the compliments."

"No, thank you Miss Reins. For your hard work you put into this, this has to be one of the best proposed deals I've ever received in my 40 plus years of running this company. Mr. Li's former marketing manager had some pretty good tricks, but no where near as good as this" he paused a moment before continuing. "Speaking of which, what's happened with Miss Hill? Did you let that one go, like all the rest?"

"No, she's still with the company, and I plan on keeping her. She's just been, slacking, so to speak. She hasn't been putting in the best effort into her work, that's why I'm moving Miss Reins up to her position permanently. As soon as we return from this trip."

My eyes must have doubled in size, and I swear my heart had stopped for a minute. Was he really being serious right now?!

"I see, and does Miss Hill know of this arrangement?" Mr. Fields asked, looking from me to Roman.

"Not yet, I suspect she's seen it coming though. I've had Miss Reins taking all of the deals she would normally be getting this past month. I'll break the news to her personally first when I return, then I'll announce it to everyone at the next meeting."

He turned to me and smiled. I can't believe this.. how? Why?

"Well, I believe she'll understand. Miss Reins seems to be a much better fit in my opinion. Much better work ethic, personality, and can't forget her beauty. Mr. Li, if she weren't yours, I would have snatched her up in an instant." Mr. Fields gave me an odd smile as he said this, not taking his eyes off me. It actually made me feel a bit awkward to be honest.

Roman tightened his grip on my arm a little as he said it, looking as if a small nerve had been hit by Mr. Fields words. Then he grasped my wrist in his hand, standing up, pulling me with him.

"It's been a pleasant time here with you Mr. Fields, but in afraid we must be going now. I'll get in touch with you when I return to the office." And with that, he pulled me along behind him as we left the building.

It was just silence for the first portion of the ride back to the hotel before I couldn't stand it any longer.

"What you said back there, did you mean that? Are you really giving me the position?" I ask, a bit hesitantly.

"Of course Kätzchen, you're more than deserving of that position."

"But what about Miss Hill, she already gives me a hard time, and now I'm basically stealing her position... I don't think that will go over well with her." He grabs my hand and gently sqeezes.

"Don't worry Kätzchen, I'll deal with her. If she gives you any more trouble, come straight to me, understand? I'll take care of it. And don't think you're stealing it from her, I'm giving you the position. She hasn't put in the effort to do her job exceptionally, so it's her own doing."

I stare down at his hand in mine. It's about twice the size, and it just engulfs the whole thing. I feel a warmth spread through my body at the feel of his skin on mine, and I reluctantly pull away from his grip.

"On another topic, do you care to explain to me what you meant this morning on the jet?"

"Meet me in my room after we arrive at the hotel, we have much to discuss before this trip can carry on, Kätzchen."

I don't know if I should have asked about this now... I might regret this later.

~~~~~

I stood there in front of his door, room 226, for what felt like hours trying to decide if I should knock or just escape back to my own room. My mind went back and forth between the two, giving good reason to go in and good reason to run and hide, before I finally settled on one...

He opened the door as quickly as I had knocked, giving me no time to change my mind. He stood in the doorframe, his suit jacket removed, and his white button up shirt no longer buttoned up... leaving his c.h.e.s.t exposed. I couldn't help but gawk at it, lightly tanned, perfectly defined and toned abs, but not to the point where it was too much. And the little trail of hair stubble going from his belly button down below his waistline, which fell into the perfect V-line shape. I was defiantly enjoying the view before he interrupted.

"You like what you see, Kätzchen?" he asked with a satisfying tone.

"Yes," my mouth exclaimed before my mind could process a response, "I mean no. I mean, it's a satisfying sight of course, not that I was looking intentionally. You just left it all exposed and... I'm sorry, I don't even know what I'm saying."

I bowed my head in shame and he just laughed in response.

"You can look as much as you want you know, it's all yours Kätzchen. Now, come in so we can talk."

It's all MINE? What is he talking about.. What does that mean? He turns and heads into the room and I follow behind, closing the door behind me.

He sits on the extravagant L shaped white couch and pours us each a glass of red wine, gesturing for me to sit as well. So I do.

"Now Kätzchen, let's discuss a few things, shall we?" He gives me a devilish smirk before taking a drink of his wine, which sends chills through my entire body.

This should be interesting...
