Irresistible Attraction •||• Book 1

Edgar Kirk Lancaster sat in his office when suddenly,Cassie Donalds his PA beeps. He hits the intercom only to be told that a Monique Carolla Montgomery was here to see him.2

The name sounded familiar. He paused to think a bit only for it to hit him:Monique Montgomery. He knew her. The nerdy girl that kept throwing herself at him throughout high school.

What did she want now? He thought.2

He straightened his suit and stepped out. What he saw shocked him. A sophiscated woman whose back was facing him luckily. He got a full and exquisite view of her extremely large rounded backside.4

She was looking way better than she did in high school. He snapped out of his daze and walked up to her. He cleared his throat to draw her attention.

When she finally turned, they stood there staring at each other till Monique broke their intense gaze

"Hey..Edgar it's..it's nice to see you again..under very...extreme nicer circumstances you know" Monique said.4

Flashing him a heavy smile to which Edgar returned nervously. He knew exactly what she meant by that statement and the thought alone made him feel bad.

His palms were starting to sweat so he stuck them into his pants. Clearing his throat nervously, he said

"Yes..urm..why don't you come into my office?"

"Yeah sure" Monique replied sarcastically before following him into his office. After they were both settled,Edgar asked4

"What brings you here Monique?"

"Am suprised you haven't figured it out yet. Well, your father put his shares up for sale and one Honourable Cadwell Montgomery happens to have bought that forty percent shares.."

Monique paused to glance at the expression on his face. She cheered inwardly at the horror etched on his face. She cleared her throat and continued;5

"Well, that man happens to be my father and as his only daughter am taking over the management of those shares"

"What!!!... I... I... Really???... Well... Welcome" Edgar said in frustration4

"Great. Well i have to run so i will appreciate it if you have my office set up as soon as possible. I will see you tomorrow though" Monique said as she rose to her feet.

Edgar followed suit numbly. He flashed her a forced smile and said with false enthusiasim

"Don't worry, it will be ready by tomorrow. And have a nice day"

"I sure will" Monique murmured as she exited his office.

Flashing a heartwarming smile at Cassie before leaving.2

When she was fianlly out of the building,she let out a heavy breath1

"This is just the beginning Edgar. You are going to pay for all the things you did to me. Just wait"

She got into her car and drove off.

Edgar fell back in his chair shakingly.2

Monique Montgomery; he thought.

Her image kept playing in his head. Her full breasts, her perfect curves and her extremely over-emphasized backside. He shifted uncimfortably in his seat.

"Damn...." He yelled as he run his fingers frustratedly through his hair.2

He was pissed and turned on at the same time. He was so close to letting go in his pants.5

The rest of the working hours where hell as he snapped at his PA for the first time and made life impossible for the rest of his employees.

They saw a side of him that they hadnt seen since his father left and even then his temper was understanding.

He had become sucessful on his own and had taken expert care of his mum and three younger siblings.

The day passed by too slow for his liking causing him to leave earlier that usual.

He took a cold shower as soon as he got to his penthouse. He has never felt out of control like this. No woman had made him burn like this.

The shower didn't seem to calm him down like he hoped for. He quickly got out.

Wrapping a towel around his lower body before entering his closet where he put on fresh briefs and a grey wife beater top and making a beeline for the gymnasium where he showered his frustrations out onto a punching bag.

After hours, he finally calmed down. Sanity finally set in.

He headed back for a quick shower before heading downstairs to his kitchen to prepare dinner. He made a meal of spiced bacon with veges and fries...strange combination but that is what he felt like eating.

He finished his meal in record time and after washing it down with a glass of red wine,he headed to his study to work some tension off his mind.

Monique laid on her bed with a smug smile on her face. Feeling proud and satisfied with how she handle Edgar.

She wanted revenge but after seeing him today, something else stirs inside her.

She knew what it was because she's always felt that way about him. She remembered when she first saw his picture.

It felt like déja vu all over again. But she couldn't put her feelings before her mission. This isn't high school. It's war.

For hours Edgar had tried hard to focus on his work but failed.His dirty mind won't stop flashing him images of Monique's over-emphasized backside,her full hips, and her full breasts.

He had played Several scenes in his heard where he actually had his hands on them and was doing more than touching and had gotten a hard on each and everytime.

Edgar had to take a cold shower to calm himself down Several times to the point where it hurt.

He was returning from his bathroom from yet another cold shower when his phone went off. He checked the time and it was twelve thirty-eight.

A frown etched on his face. Who could be calling at this hour? He walked to his nightstand and the caller id shocked him.

Monique

They hadn't formally exchanged numbers so it seems each one had gone in search of the others contact. Edgar hit the answer button when he snapped out of his stupor.

"Edgar Lancaster. Who is this?" He said in a business-like hard tone pretending not to know who the caller was.

"Urm..Hey it's Monique" She replied flustered

"Why are you calling at this time?"He questioned

"Sorry if i woke you. I was busy all day and i forgot to check in on the progress of my office. I was just calling to ask you."

Edgar sighed." You didn't wake me. I was working on some papers and your office is done. You can check on it tomorrow and add whatever you want."

"Oh... Urm.. Thanks Edgar"

"You welcome"

" So.. I guess i will see you tomorrow???"

"Yeah. Tomorrow"

"Goodnight Edgar"

"Goodnight Montgomery".

And the line went dead. Monique smiled as everything seems to be going as planned though she felt uncomfotable with how flustered she became when Edgar answered her call in that hard stern business-like voice.

She won't lie and say she wasn't turned on because she was and only that fact infuriated her more whiles Edgar on the other hand got in bed with yet another hard on but didn't bother to take another shower.

The bright morning sun, barged through Edgar's window waking him up like always. He was in a foul mood as to the wet dream he kept on having about a certain someone. It was so frustrating.

He jumped into the shower for yet another cold shower and after quickly getting dressed in his favourite tailored suit and headed out to his garage where he hopped into his car and sped off to work.

In the silent confines of his car, he took time to reflect on yesterday's behaviour. He shook his head at how childish he acted. It wasn't long before he pulled up in his companies parking lot.

And as usual Cassie was there waiting to get his things. There was an awkward silence between them and knowing Cassie, it wouldn't take long before she gave him a piece of her mind.

They grew up together and they were each others confidant and rock.

They had finally entered the private elevator to their office when Edgar cleared his throat nervously.

"Cassie....Cassie..." Edgar called out softly

No answer.

"Cassie... Am sorry. Please forgive me" He said sincerely

A smile graced Cassie's face instantly. She turned to Edgar with a smug look on her face but on seeing how nervous he was she burst into fits of laughter.

"You sneaky bitch" Edgar muttered under his breath

"I heard you lover boy. And don't worry i forgave you last night" Cassie replied smugly

Edgar shook his head smiling. Leave it to Cassie to always make light in a dark situation.

" So......." Cassie started

Edgar cut in immediately knowing she was about to talk about a certain Someone he had been having a hard on for since she stepped into his office.

" Uh...Uh...Uh.. Cassie honey drop it. I don't wanna talk about her. Not early this morning."

Before Cassie could force it out of him the elevator pinged signalling they had reached their floor that use to contain only her and Edgar but now Monique and her new assistant, Izzy April Quinn.

Things were going to be so interesting. She thought smugly.

Edgar made a beeline to his office where he instantly started working. Trying to stop his mind from wandering.

After trying so hard to concerntrate, he stood up and decided to check on Monique's office. To make sure everything was in order. He tried to convince himself.

As soon as he stepped out of his office, Cassie gave him a knowing look to which he rolled his eyes before making a detour to Monique's office.

Thinking she still hasn't reported, he barged right in only to find a topless Monique standing in the middle of it fuming.

He was struck dumb. He stood there staring with his mouth open till he heard Monique snap at him.

"What the hell Lancaster? Didn't you ever learn how to knock?"

"Didn't you also learn to lock your doors?" Edgar countered back angrily.

As soon as the words were out of his mouth,he felt bad. He run his hand over his face in frustration.

This woman would be the death of him.

" Am sorry Monique" He said sincerely as he sighed tiredly

"Am... Am sorry too Edgar. I shouldn't have snapped at you" Monique apologised reluctantly

"Why.... Why are you.. Top...less in your office?" Edgar questioned nervously.

Looking anywhere but at Monique's half naked body. The black slip she was wearing emphasized her full breast and complimented her skin.

He could feel himself hardening.

"I was talking on my phone and in a hurry to catch the elevator in the lobby before it closed when i crashed into an employee who poured Coffee all over me. Luckily I brought some clothes for keeps in my office incase of things like this" Monique explained quietly

"Well...once again am sorry for invading your privacy.... Is... Is the anything I can do for you" Edgar said still without looking at Monique.

"Yes... Urm.. You can wait while I change into another dress and zip me up"

"Okay.... Okay.. I'll wait"

Monique disappeared into the office's washroom. She returned a few minutes later in a black body hugging dress that ended right on her knee.

With her hair now up in a messy bun, she turned as soon as she reached where Edgar was standing. Rocking nervously on his feet. Edgar shakingly started zipping her up. He could see the black lacy pant she wore.

He was trying really hard to concentrate. He had finally managed to zip her up to her mid-rib when his fingers brushed against her back.

They both stiffened and froze until Edgar grew a pair of balls and finishes zipping her up.

Monique took a few steps forward to a safer distance before managing a strained thank you. It sounded so awkward as the sexual tension became heavy. Edgar took that as his cue and left without a word.

They avoided each other like the plague for the rest of the day. Each one on the others thought. Stealing a minute or two to reminensce on the event that took place earlier on.

Monique was shaken by Edgar's touch whiles Edgar was distorted. His desire for her seems to be growing stronger by the minute.

He couldn't take it anymore and he was going to make her his soon. Very soon but he need to correct the errors of his past. So with a new found courage, he stood up and headed for Monique's office.

Ignoring Cassie since she would have that knowing look on her face. This time around he knocked softly and only entered when asked to.

Monique squirmed uneasily as

Edgar entered and made himself comfortable on his guest seat. They stared at each other quietly. Lost in a trance till Edgar remembered the reason why he was there. Clearing his throat softly,he said;

"Well... I came to apologise for high school and a chance to start over"

Monique's mouth dropped in shock. She wasn't expecting this. It wasn't supposed to go this way. This complicates everything. She was pulled out of her daze when Edgar cleared his throat again.

She let out a heavy sigh."Well... I didn't expect that" She stated truthfully. "But... I... I forgive you. The past cannot be undone. So yeah I would like to start over too"

Edgar flashed her one of his rare billion dollar smiles which almost sent her into an orgasmic convulsion.

"Great... Thanks Monique. You won't regret it"

"I hope so"

"You won't. I will see you later on"

And with that he walked out of her office with a smile on his face leaving a very dazzled Monique behind to ponder upon the possible consequence of her decisions.
