Temptation: Satisfaction Part 31

"See you later." I walked back out of the office and past the beach ball. "Later, Lucy."

Why am I looking into a f.u.c.king fish tank? Gareth had obviously managed to return during the night, but once again he needed me to save his wimpy a.r.s.e. I noticed a blonde walking up the stairs and away from me, she glanced back over her shoulder like I'd just told her I slept with animals. f.u.c.k, that b.l.o.o.d.y Gareth has swallowed his b.a.l.l.s again. Maybe it had something to do with her. I waited till she'd turned the corner then followed her. She opened the door to the staff kitchen. She obviously works here.

"Hi, Mr. Clark." A short dark haired woman smiled at me politely as she entered the kitchen after blondie.

"h.e.l.lo." What's her name again? I've seen her before. I stopped just outside the door and listened to their conversation.

aAlexis, how are you dear? How's Lucy doing? Did she have the baby?'

aYes, Abigail, she did. She did a wonderful job, I'm hoping to go and see her tomorrow.' The blonde's name is Alexis and she obviously knows Lucy. And Abigail, the old bird is Abigail.

aOh, that's wonderful news. So how is your new position going?' Abigail asked Alexis.

aGreat, Mr Clark is a lovely person, and very easy to work for.' She works for Bryce! Maybe that's why Gareth has summoned me because she is trying to bed him. It's not the first time he's wanted help for something like this. I hid around the corner and watched Alexis leave the kitchen. Over my dead body you'll bed him. He belongs to me. I made my way to Gareth's office to look up this Alexis chick's file. I found that she was married with kids, and had started at the hotel as a Concierge Attendant alongside a Samantha Taylor. Might just have to meet this Samantha Taylor I think.

It had been a few days since deciding to make sure Alexis didn't get her claws into Bryce, and since that point I'd made a lot of progress. Samantha was easy, all I had to do was flash my smile and credit card, and she was ready to open her legs. Not that I wanted anything to do with what was in between her legs, they were not Bryce's legs. I sat in Gareth's office, bored s.h.i.tless. I didn't know what he f.u.c.king did, and I didn't really care. I flicked on his TV hoping there would be a rerun of Seinfeld, instead, there was a news update. Some d.i.c.khead had an accident on the freeway that morning, and it made me glad I decided to sleep in the hotel. I watched the chopper zoom in on the crazy guy running up the off ramp then scooping a blonde into his arms. The chopper zoomed in some more then aBryce Clark, a knight in shining armour' flashed across the screen. f.u.c.k, what's he doing? That s.l.u.t has f.u.c.king brainwashed him. I got up and stormed out the door with an idea of how to get rid of her for good.

When the elevator doors opened I saw the s.l.u.t sitting at her desk, she looked disappointed.

"Good afternoon, Gareth, Bryce is not in, he's out with Dale going over some security checks."

I go to speak. Remember talk like Gareth "Oh b.u.g.g.e.r..." Yep, that sounds like the wimpy son of a b.i.t.c.h. "I needed to have a quick word to him about a new proposal, never mind." I walked over to her desk, making sure I got right into her personal s.p.a.ce. I wanted to make her feel as uncomfortable as h.e.l.l, I wanted to make her never want to come back here again. "So, how are you feeling Alexis? That was some b.u.mp you took this morning by the looks of your car, and the fact Bryce had to carry you off the road."

"I'm fine thanks, it looked worse than it actually was. Bryce was good enough to come down and see if I was okay, it was very kind of him." She's lying, does she think I'm f.u.c.king stupid?

"Oh, come on, Mrs. Summers. You and I both know he didn't just come down to see how you were, that's going just a bit far and beyond the expectations of an employer." I waited for her reaction to my not so subtle dig at her.

She stood up. "What are you getting at, Gareth?"

"Feisty, I can see why he likes you. Tell me, are you feisty between the sheets too?" She slapped me hard across the face. You f.u.c.king little s.l.u.t.

"How dare you." She tried to leave, but I managed to grab her on the back of her head.

"Listen here, you little wh.o.r.e. You just keep spreading your legs for Bryce, because you are doing me a favour, you want to know why? Because the board won't be too impressed that he is f.u.c.king a married woman, it doesn't look good for the company." I figured I'd try and guilt her into believing she'd be the cause of Bryce's demise. If she really liked him, she'd leave him alone, but if she didn't and just wanted what she could get from him, then I'd need to scare her a little more. I licked my lips and went for the kill. "You are a s.e.xy wh.o.r.e, I'll give him that." I grabbed her t.i.t. The next thing I knew, I had a f.u.c.king sore eye and my b.a.l.l.s were killing me. "You b.i.t.c.h! You'll f.u.c.king pay for that." I went to get up and teach the s.l.u.t a lesson, but I was grabbed from behind and flung into a wall. Bryce then picked me up by my collar and punched me in the ribs, then again in my jaw. f.u.c.k, that hurt. But man, he just gave me a ma.s.sive b.o.n.e.r. He kicked me again in the stomach, when Alexis screamed for him to stop, and he did.

"Get the f.u.c.k out of my building, now, you piece of s.h.i.t." He is s.e.xy when he's angry. I laughed. That was fun. I spat blood at his feet and looked into his gorgeous eyes. I could see it, I could see he knew, and I loved it, I could see he knew I was back. Yes, Bryce, Scott has come back for you.

Alexis had been staying with Bryce on and off since the Tel V Awards. I saw them walk to his elevator after a few drinks that night, and practically f.u.c.k each other before the doors closed. It was in that moment I realised she was a major f.u.c.king problem I needed to take care of. He was mine, and no one else's, and I was not going to allow that b.i.t.c.h to take him away from me.

I had to be smart though and not let my anger get in the way of my plan. Scaring her away or making minor threats obviously was not going to work anymore. I needed to take action, action that would see her out of Bryce's life for good. Alexis Elizabeth Summers needs to have an accident, yes; an accident, one that will fortunately render her no more, and I know just how to do it.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

My amazing husband - You not only picked up the duties I dropped to write this book, but you also allowed me to bounce ideas off of you in the middle of the night when I woke up slightly crazy. Not only did you share the lack of sleep with me during the writing process of books 1 and 2, you also brought me a cup of tea every single night before you went to bed as I sat in front of my laptop and typed to the early hours of the morning. I honestly couldn't have done it without you and my nightly caffeine shot. Thank you for your support and for always being my rock you wonderful, wonderful man.

The two little loves of my life - You were told many times during the writing of this book-aShhh. Mummy is trying to type'. I am so sorry for saying that over and over. And I promise to go back to nail painting and lego building now.

My parents - You have encouraged me, and been my biggest fans since deciding to follow my dreams and become a Writer.

Mum - You read, and reread, and reread, and then reread to help with editing. You even picked up a typo that would have mortified me had it been published, (yes you know which one I am talking about, the one that had you snorting on the phone to me!). I'm very thankful for your help and support. I couldn't do it without you.

My close friends and sister-in-law. Also known as Fran (Tash), Gab (Lil), Lea (Jade), Jules (Steph), Kate (Carls) and Renee (Jen) - You support and encourage me on a daily basis, and provide me with material every time we get together, thank you xo.

My Beta Readers - Cherra, Sarah, Heather and Mich.e.l.le - Thank you for your advice and knowledge of the literature world. And for helping me tidy up the mistakes I made through lack of sleep and caffeine intake. I enjoyed all your feedback and comments, and learnt quite a lot.

And lastly, but certainly not the least-my fans and followers on Facebook and Goodreads - I love reading all your comments and feedback, and knowing I have given you something to laugh about, gasp over and blush from, is essentially why I am doing what I'm doing.
