Despite the little issue at the event the new line was a huge success! Mac even said it did far better than their previous popular design. When I went back to work everyone gushed over the designs.
I didn't like the fact that I wasn't on the same floor as Dante but I liked being back with the gang. We went out for lunch to celebrate and when I came back a huge bouquet of flowers was waiting for me.
"Oh … my … word," Yumi gushed.
Luckily, I was able to see the small card before they could see it.
"Someone's been holding out on us!" Ella teased.
I could feel my face heat up as they smirked at me.
"Since when did you have a girlfriend?" Tony asked.
I flinched a little because I knew I wasn't obviously gay but nowadays you could never tell, so it could be insulting to assume. Tony wasn't like that which made the sting fade.
"Tony!" Yumi snapped playfully. "He could have a boyfriend, you can't just assume."
I loved Yumi, sometimes I felt like she could read my mind.
"Oh yeah, sorry Sorin," Tony backtracked. "So tell us, who is the lucky person?"
I smiled to show him I wasn't insulted or holding any grudge towards him. He sighed in relief, I guess he'd really thought he had said something out of line.
"Come on, let me read the card," Ella insisted, snatching the card from me.
I'd been distracted when she snatched it but then I tried to get it back. She kept it out of reach, laughing as I couldn't get it. I pouted as I gave up which caused them to laugh louder.
'Congratulations on your success, I love you, D xx'
"Oh my goodness!" Yumi gushed. "Who is D? Tell us everything!"
"D is my … my … boyfriend!" I blushed.
Ella and Yumi started squealing and Tony smiled before clapping his hand on my shoulder.
The girls pulled me aside and bombarded me with question upon question about Dante. They wanted to know everything, from when we met, who kissed who first and even how big his cock was. That was one question I couldn't answer.
Mac and Tony rescued me after about an hour and I sighed gratefully. Quickly, I sat at my desk pretending to work, instead I opened the mindlink and called out to Dante.
S - Thank you for the flowers, I love them!
D - I sent them over an hour ago, I'm only getting the response now … should I punish you later for making me wait?
S - It's not my fault … no wait … It's actually yours!
D - Mine?
S - Yeah, you sent me the flowers at work and everyone went crazy over them. The girls have been bombarding me with questions about you!
D - Really? What have you told them?
S - Don't worry I didn't tell them who you are!
D - That's not what I meant Sorin, I don't care if you tell them who I am. You are my soul, I am not ashamed to be with you.
Sorin's heart pulse and froze at the same time. Did Dante think he was ashamed of him? He wasn't, it was just … just what?
Sorin stood quickly and raced off to the elevators. Urgently, he pushed the button.
"Everything ok, Sorin?" Mac called after me.
As soon as the doors opened on his floor I raced for his office. Luca noticed me and stood but I rushed past him.
"Wait! Sorin!" he called.
I rushed inside. Dante was standing in the middle of the room.
"Sorin?"
I rushed over to him, wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him, long, hard and deep. He hesitated before wrapping his arms around me and kissing me back.
"I'm not ashamed to be with you Dante! Not now, not ever! Don't ever think that!"
Dante stared at me hard for a moment. His eyes darted back and forth between mine until a movement caught my eye. I turned and gasped.
"Congratulations Mr Astello!"
Now I get why Luca tried to stop me and why Dante was standing in the middle of his room. He was on a video conference call with five other people. Each and everyone were trying to hide their laughter.
"We'll reschedule this later," Danted said and everyone signed off.
My face heated and I moved away from him. I face-planted the small couch I sat on, on my first day. He chuckled behind me and I groaned.
"Sorin."
I could still hear the laughter in his voice.
"I'm so sorry! I'm a mess!" I spoke into the cushion.
"No you're not!" he laughed. "You're very cute!"
I turned my head to see him smirking next to me. The feel of his hand on my back was soothing. He kissed my cheek.
"I didn't want you to think I was ashamed of you," I mumbled. "I only meant that you are the CEO of the company and I am a lowly designer. If people find out about us it could reflect badly on you and it could make it difficult for me."
"I understand Sorin," he smiled. "I'll be more careful."
I twisted and smiled up at him as he lent down and kissed me. He growled into me as I moved my leg in between his. Dante pushed his erection into mine.
"God, you feel so good!" he moaned into my mouth.
"So do you," I moaned.
"Erm … I hate to break up this quickie at work but Dante you have another meeting in five minutes."
We groaned at Luca's voice coming in through the office door. Dante stood first and helped me up. He kissed me and groaned.
"This is not over!" he warned. "I'm going to make love to you hard and fast, I'm going to make you scream my name so loud that you won't be able to speak for weeks."
He patted my ass before opening the door for me. I glared at him before quickly rushing out. Work was going to be even more difficult now.
