  Once he hired me, arrangements were made to fly me to Romania and get me a nice, fully furnished apartment. I had to sell my old apartment back in L.A., but I don’t care as the amount of money I’m making now is insane compared to other jobs I’ve had. It would take me one month to earn what I do in one day working for Mr. Rossi. At my apartment, there’s a maid that comes in and cleans everything for me, it really is a dream come true and I have to pinch myself some of the time to confirm that I actually work for this man. I do miss my friends, but I text and message them back home all the time.

  I have to admit the other night, I really wanted him. Even though I only got a brief glimpse of him it was enough to drive me crazy. I went home after work and ran a nice hot bubble bath and stepped into the hot water. I closed my eyes and dreamed I was with him, his powerful hands exploring my body, his mouth kissing me. I laid in that bath and gave myself such an explosive orgasm, I thought I might pass out. I’m dreaming of course, he’s my boss, and I’m just his secretary. I’m foolish to think there’s a chance there, he probably has his pick of the hottest women in the world and I have seen a few of them come through these offices too from time to time. I can only imagine what hot things he does with them. It’s so frustrating, I wish it was me, I wish I could be with him. I’m obsessing over him but I can’t help it, it’s impossible not to.

  Tonight is even worse, because he is actually in his office! In the two weeks that I have been here I have only seen him that first day after my interview and it was just a brief look at him. I’ve been trying to get this paperwork done but can’t do it, my god he is there behind those doors. Ok, Tabitha, enough fantasizing, it’s time to get back to work. I walk over to the copy machine and start scanning documents when my intercom goes off.

  “Tabitha,” said a voice. “Please come into my office, I wish to speak with you.”

  Oh God! Mr. Rossi just invited me into his office. I hope I haven’t done anything wrong or upset him in some way. I hurry back to my desk and respond quickly.

  “Right away, Mr. Rossi.” I brush my business skirt down to get a crease out and adjust my blouse a bit. I take a deep breath. Just walk inside the office and act normal, smile and be yourself. I walk up to his door and grasp the handle, turn it an open the door. I walked inside.

  “Ah, Tabitha,” said Mr. Rossi. “So good to meet you in person.”

  I felt sweat drip down my back. “Nice to meet you too, Mr. Rossi.” His office was nicely furnished with a beautiful oak desk, leather chairs, and several bookcases stuffed with all sorts of books. On his wall there were several beautiful paintings, one of which looked like an old castle. Andre looked about 35 or 40 and hotter in person than I could imagine. Those green eyes were intoxicating, his suit fit perfectly—he had a strong powerful jaw with perfect skin, although he was a bit pale.

  Mr. Rossi flexed his hands and sat back in his leather office chair. “Please, there’s no need for such trivial formalities, you may call me Andre.”

  “Yes, Andre.” Wow! He wants me to call him by his name, he’s very laid back. What does he want with me? I don’t want to lose this amazing job.

  “Please, have a seat.”

  I sat down in one of the two big leather chairs across from him. “Thank you.”

  “I wanted to let you know that we are very pleased with your work. “Your dedication to your job over the past two weeks has been exceptional and I wanted to repay you for it.”

  “Repay me?”

  “Yes, of course. I want you to have a nice evening away from this paperwork, you deserve something special. I wanted to ask you if you would dine with me this evening.”

  Dine? Did this god of a man just say dine? I pinched myself hard. This has to be some sort of dream!

  “I would be honored to dine with you. Thank you, this is very nice of you. Really don’t know what to say.”

  “Good, then it’s settled,” said Andre.

  “Where are we going? What restaurant is it? I haven’t actually explored the dining establishments in Romania yet,” I said.

  “A restaurant isn’t appropriate, as my kitchen staff will prepare a superior meal. We are to dine at my estate.”

  This is a dream. His estate? I’m dining at his house! “That sounds wonderful, but I really don’t think I am dressed for any formal dining.”

  “You need not worry, I’ll have Mei-Xing find you appropriate attire for the evening.” Andre pressed a button on his electronic intercom. “Mei-Xing, please dress Tabitha for a dinner engagement.”

  A voice came over the intercom. “Yes, Mr. Rossi.”

  Andre pushed another button and the book case against the far wall opened up revealing two doors. “Please Tabitha, Mei-Xing will be waiting. Take the corridor to the elevator at the far end. She will take you down for dressing.”

  “Thank you, Andre.” This is wonderful. I get to pick out my own dress for dinner. I can’t believe this is happening.

  “One thing,” he said. “Please let your hair down, I would like that.” You look lovely now but with the hair down, you will be stunning.”

  “I will do that, thank you for the suggestion.” I was willing do anything he asked.

  “Please.” He motioned to door. “Mei-Xing is waiting, I will meet you in the underground parking. She will take you there. I will see you soon.”

  “Ok.” Andre pressed another button and the doors opened for me. I waked inside, down the corridor to the elevator. I didn’t even know this area of his office even existed and it was a bit frightening but I wasn’t going to let the chance of actually going out to dinner with him get in the way of my apprehension. As I was almost at the elevator, the door opened and out stepped this amazing looking young Asian girl. She was wearing a skin tight black leather dress with matching high heels. Her hair was long, black, wavy, and simply beautiful. She was enough to make any man look more than twice, because I was looking more than twice.

  “Tabitha,” she said. Please come with me, no keep Andre waiting too long.”

  I stepped into the elevator and we went down. The doors opened and we stepped out. In front of me was a fully furnished ball room, complete with a bar like the ones you see in those old movies.

  “Can we go in there?”

  “No.” Mei-Xing took my hand. “This way.”

  We walked down another long corridor and she opened a door for me. The room was huge, with racks of clothing. There were dresses, and suits all neatly arranged. Across from the clothing were tables and chairs as well as large dressing mirrors, like you would find at a Broadway show where the performers get ready. The lights in the room were bright, l felt like I was getting ready for a play and I was the star.

  “Undress please,” said Mei-Xing. “What color dress you like?”

  “How about a red one or white?” I said.

  “I think black. Andre like black on women.”

  “Black it is.” I went over to the table and undid my business skirt and slid it down. I removed my blouse and tumbled out my hair from the bun I had it in.

  “This should fit you. Mei-Xing handed me a black dress with spaghetti straps. You no waste time. Andre not happy if we keep him waiting.”

  I slid the dress on and it fit me perfectly. It hugged all my curves. “How did you know this would fit? I looked in the big mirror. It looks gorgeous!”

  “I dress many women, he has certain tastes. Sit down, I brush hair.”

  “I as sat on the chair and noticed a wonderful diamond necklace peeking out from the top in a jewellery box. “Should I wear this? I bet he would like this neckla—“

  “No.” Mei-Xing raised her voice. She stepped back a bit and regained her composure. “He prefer bare neck, it anger him if you wear. Be still, I finish hair.”

  “I’m sorry, I didn’t know.” It’s strange he wouldn’t like a bit of bling on a woman, most men do. I wanted to make him happy, so I put it down.

  Mei-Xing went over
and found a pair of matching heels and brought them to me. “Try on.”

  I sat in the chair and put them on, they too fit me perfectly. Mei-Xing went back to brushing out my long blond hair. “How long have you worked for him?”

  “Long time,” she said. “I work long time for Andre. There, I think you ready. Stand up, look in long mirror.”

  I walked back to the mirror and had a look. “I like it, thank you. I don’t know how you did it so quickly.”

  “Now come, Andre waiting. We hurry.”

  Mei-Xing and I hurried down the corridor back to the elevator and we went down to the parking lot. As the doors opened she turned to me taking my hands in hers. “You know no pain, fulfill every desire, loved beyond wildest imaginations. You go now, limo over there.” She pointed in the distance. I stepped out and the door closed behind me.

  What did she mean by all that? I walked through the parking lot towards the limo. I heard what I thought was shriek of some kind but it was very faint. I backed up a few steps.

  “Tabitha.” My heart beat in my chest for Andre was right behind me.

  “Oh god, Andre, you startled me. I thought I heard a noise.”

  “It’s an old building. They sometimes, make sounds.” he said.

  “Yes, of course.”

  He took my hand. “This way, please.”

  He walked the short distance to the stretch limo and Andre opened the door for me and we got inside.

  “Driver,” he said.

  We drove through the lot and the gates in front of us opened. I was excited to see a bit more of Romania but it was really too dark to see much. Andre sat there, his hand on his chin, looking out the window. He seemed distant to me. I wondered if he was angry.

  “You ok?”

  He turned to me and put his hand in mine. “Sorry, I just don’t like the modern ways of traveling, it doesn’t suit me. I miss the older ways. The horses, a carriage, that sort of thing.”

  Oh, he’s so romantic! This man is not only hot, he has a softer side too, I love it. I was discovering new things about him. I wanted to know everything could.

  “What is your business like, it you don’t mind me asking? It must be exciting making all this money, without a care in the world. You must see so many places, do so many things.”

  “Money is paper.” After you make so much it ceases to excite you. Once you have everything there’s nothing money can do. I have so much of it now that I have lost all interest in financial matters. That’s why I hire women like you to take care of these things for me.”

  I smiled at him. “I’m happy you did, this job is like a dream to me. “You’re a special man, I want to know more about you. I want to work hard, do everything I can to help you with your success.”

  Andre ran his fingers through my hair at the tips. “See I told you, it looks ravishing this way. The dress is also lovely.”

  I felt a shiver go through me as his hands touched my hair. My heart beat faster and my nipples were beginning to harden. Just the slight touch of his fingers on my hair was enough. I wanted him, I couldn’t deny that fact. My body ached.

  “Thank you, Mei-Xing picked it for me.”

  We drove on for several more minutes, then the limo suddenly stopped.

  “Get out,” Andre said.

  I got out and he along with me, then the limo sped away. I was nervous in the dark and I was wondering what was going on, then I saw it coming up in the distance, the breath coming out in the cold air, the slow trot of four jet black, gorgeous horses. Behind those magnificent animals, was a black carriage. It stopped the driver completely silent, he was in a suit and a top hat.

  “Gregor,” said Andre. “Right on time, excellent.”

  Chapter 2

  I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, a carriage! It was the most romantic thing anyone had ever done for me in my entire life. I stood there, speechless.

  Andre went to the door and opened it. “Allow me.”

  “Thank you, kind sir,” I said as I climbed into the carriage.

  “The moon is bright tonight, we will have some light.” Andre went around the carriage and got in the other side.

  Inside the carriage there was champagne in ice and a basket of fresh fruit. Andre popped the bottle to pour me a glass.

  “Aren’t you having any?” I asked.

  “No, I don‘t care for it, this is for you. There look over the hill in front of us, we will reach my estate soon.”

  I took a strawberry out of the basket and bit into it, the sweetness filling my mouth. I needed to fill my mouth with something else. I wanted to taste Andre’s cock, feel his hardness. In my mind I saw him, his cock thrusting inside of me with delicious pleasure. Tabitha, that’s your boss, calm down! I couldn’t help it I wanted Andre, my body told me. Andre’s voice jolted me back.

  “These vineyards we are passing now, I know it’s hard to see but they belong to my family. This whole area we own.” Andre motioned to the farmhouses and other structures we passed although in the blackness it was difficult to make much out.

  “I wish I had your money.” I nibbled on some grapes from the basket.

  “Money can create sorrow, it won’t cure loneliness. It’s not as powerful as passion nor as divine as sensuality. “Andre motioned to the surroundings again. “All this may be mine but it’s not everything, it’s rather insignificant. You are young, it’s hard for you to comprehend that.”

  I reached out to touch his arm. “No, I understand.”

  The carriage stopped by two large gates which opened for us. Two men closed the gates behind us, as the carriage made its way up a long steep driveway, up to an old castle, just like the one in the picture in Andre’s office. I couldn’t see much in the darkness but there was a faint glow coming from a couple of windows in the castle.

  “This is the same castle in that picture in your office isn’t it?” I said.

  ‘’Yes,” he said. “This has been in my family for centuries. I have numerous estates as well as castles throughout Europe, but this is my home, my domain. It overlooks the town below, as well as the vineyards.”

  The carriage stopped by the front doors of the massive stone structure. In front of us were two twin doors that looked to be made out of oak but taller than regular doors and wider. Andre got out and came over to my door to open it.

  “Welcome to my home.” He took my hand and helped me out of the carriage.

  “Thank you. I wish I could see more it’s quite dark.” Andre stood next to me and held my hand in his, caressing my fingers.

  “I saw you at your interview. I was watching, admiring you. I was taken by your beauty. The other women, didn’t interest me, but you captivated me.”

  “I—I saw you after the interview, just for a moment,” I said, my heart racing. His eyes, god those beautiful eyes.

  “I wanted to say something then, but my business, keeps me on the move. That is, until tonight.”

  The doors in front of us creaked open.

  “Please.” Andre took my hand and escorted me inside.

  The castle inside was breathtaking. The walls were covered in smooth woods, and it shone as the candlelight bathed them in a soft glow. There was a winding staircase in front of us and a railing at the top going around. Many areas of the walls were covered in tapestries or beautiful paintings. The floor was done in a burgundy red with a square pattern throughout the carpets. By the staircase there was a full set of ancient knight armor complete with a sword and helmet. His servants closed the doors behind us and quietly went on their way. The doors made a deep creaking sound as they slid shut with a loud boom that made me jump a little. There were entrances to the other areas of the castle to both sides of us. One room glowed softly with the flicker of candles and the smell of cooking meats filled me.

  Andre gestured towards the room with the glow. “This way, dinner awaits.” He took my hand by my fingers and led me into the other room.

&
nbsp; The other room was large and open, in the middle was a long heavy table made out of oak. There were eight dark brown chairs around it with red velvet in the middle and on the seats. The table was decorated with sparking cutlery and all sorts of expensive dishes as well as fine white linen. On one side of the table on the wall was a large portrait of a man sitting in a chair while behind the head of the table was another opening which appeared to lead into a kitchen area, the smells coming from it were making my mouth water. Candles hung in black elaborate sconces on the walls creating a soft, romantic mood. The floor was done in polished marble, the walls were done in stone.

  “Please have a seat,” Andre said. He took a seat at the far end of the table and I sat at the other end.

  A waiter came out behind Andre, carrying a tray. He came over and poured me a glass of red wine and left Andre a simple silver goblet. He back into the kitchen without uttering a word.

  Andre took a small sip from his goblet. “I love the candlelight on your hair.”

  I took a long drink of the wine to calm my nerves. I couldn’t believe this place, it was immense and I felt like I was back in the past.

  “I hope you don’t mind the candles, I prefer them. They are more intimate for dining.”

  “Oh, they are wonderful,” I said. “I have never had a meal by candlelight before, unless you count that rainstorm we had one spring back in L.A when the power went out.”

  Another man came out of the entrance carrying what appeared to be a roast of lamb. He put the plate in front of me. There’s was lamb, roast vegetables, boiled potatoes and fresh bread for the table. I was hungry and the food looked great, I waited for them to bring in Andre’s meal.
