Chapter 5. Your Naked Boss

—He asked to speak with my aunt, I suppose he'll tell us later what she said to him.

"I told my mother to look for someone with more experience; Mr. Rinaldi was awful. And he treats his employees terribly. You can't imagine how he treated me when I started here."

Amber's gaze widens; that information fills her thoughts with fear.

— What are you saying? Did you tell my aunt?

"Of course not, I didn't intend for my mother to lose her job. Besides, I needed the job and the money," Gracia shrugged.

— Do you think it will be the same for me?

—If you want, you can quit and look for another kind of job. One where you don't have to put up with a grumpy boss every morning.

But she'd barely started working and she was already about to quit. On the other hand, putting up with her boss, who treated her badly for everything she did, wasn't what she wanted either.

The brunette noticed her cousin looking at her differently, which made her frown. Gracia had been acting very strangely that day; ever since she arrived at the house, she seemed like her shadow.

Perhaps it was because her aunt sent her to supervise her so that she wouldn't make any mistakes.

—I think I should wait for my aunt to tell me what Mr. Rinaldi told her.

"Whatever you want, I'm just warning you about the consequences," the brunette shrugged before leaving the room.

Amber bit her lip as she glanced over her shoulder at the room; everything was perfectly tidy. However, the unease in her heart lingered after hearing her cousin's words.

At night, while Maryin is having dinner with her daughter and niece, she thinks it's a good time to talk to them both to clarify their duties in her boss's house.

—Mr. Rinaldi accepts Amber to work in the house.

— What?! —Gracia quickly retorts.

—Yes, she has left me specific instructions on how we will organize ourselves in the house.

— Instructions? — Amber asked with some fear, at that moment Gracia looked at her with a bit of jealousy.

—Gracia will take care of the lower part of the house, and you will be the one to serve the master's breakfast and take care of the entire upper part of the house; he also asked that you take care of his things.

Amber couldn't believe her aunt's words; it meant her cousin's warning was true. That man gave her those kinds of errands just to annoy her. The young woman swallowed hard and blinked.

Meanwhile, Gracia was consumed by jealousy. It was unbelievable that Mauricio himself would order his mother to run those kinds of errands for the new employee. What did that mean? What kind of arrangement was it?

"Gracia, are you understanding?" the brunette listens to her mother and stops looking at her cousin. "Do you understand your new duties?"

—But Amber's chores were mine, Mother.

— They're not anymore! You've been given the heaviest tasks, you've been working longer than your cousin, I assume that's why the man gave you those jobs.

—Auntie… —Gracia looks at her cousin hoping that she will tell her that she is going to quit.

Maryin looks at her niece with a bit of severity.

"You need to be responsible at work, Amber. It's not just your job at stake here, it's mine and your cousin's too. You have to do a good job."

The brunette bit her tongue at her aunt's warning; she was right, she had already been hired, and if she went out to quit, it would make her look very bad in front of her boss.

Damn my mom, how could she say such a stupid thing to that girl? Now she won't want to quit.

Gracia was furious; just thinking that Amber would do all her work reminded her that she would never see Mauricio taking his shower every morning again.

—Yes, aunt, of course I won't let you down.

"I hope so, from both of you. Mr. Rinaldi is a very demanding person; he'll notice any mistake immediately and let you know. He's a man who likes order in his house, so you both must do your jobs well."

Amber nodded as the gears in Gracia's brain began to work rapidly.

[…]

The next day, Amber obeyed her aunt's orders; she was to take the new suit to her boss's room. Meanwhile, Gracia wanted to abandon her chores to follow her cousin, but her mother caught her and ended up scolding her.

So the brunette stayed behind like a slave, finishing her earrings. But her mind was on her cousin and what might happen in that room.

Amber arrives at her boss's bedroom, leaves her suit on the bed, and makes a move to leave the room when she suddenly hears the shower running. Her heart starts racing, and she decides to flee.

But as he turns around and heads for the exit, he hears that the tap has been turned off, which hastens his departure.

"Good morning, Amber." The young woman stops dead in her tracks upon hearing her boss's voice, her legs trembling uncontrollably as her throat goes dry. "Did the mice eat your tongue?"

She turns to see her boss and say good morning, but is shocked by his appearance that morning. Amber's entire body freezes at the sight.

Her boss had gotten so close to her that she hadn't even noticed him while she had her back to him; all she could do was stand there stunned by his enormous presence.

—What's wrong?—her boss's voice was very hoarse, which made her even more tense than she already was.

"You... you..." she stammers, swallowing hard. She tries to keep her gaze fixed on one spot to avoid seeing more than she already has. "Mr. Rinaldi, you're naked," she adds, her lips dry.

— I already know that, Amber!

Mauricio knew perfectly well that Amber would go up to his room to get her suit, and after his shower he left the bathroom to have the pleasant surprise of seeing her sneaking out of the bedroom.

I didn't hesitate for a second to get his attention. He found it fascinating to see her in his bedroom in the morning, and that was very strange coming from him.

As he approached her, the CEO stood very close to her, observing her face, which was not turned towards him. She was paralyzed.

—Excuse the interruption, it won't happen again—he makes a move to turn around, but then something interrupts his escape.

Amber tensed as she felt her boss's hand grip her arm. She didn't look at him and could only bite her lip, unsure what to do. Then she remembered her cousin's words and wondered if this was how he used to annoy her.

"Where are you going, Amber?" he whispered the words against her ear, which made her even more tense than before.

—I… I have to go…—I had no idea what to say, I was paralyzed.

Mauricio smiles slightly until he manages to turn the girl's body against his own, with his other hand he closes the door and ends up leaning Amber's back against it.

"What should you do?" Mauricio took her chin to lift her gaze. "Amber…" The CEO focused his eyes on the girl's provocative lips, so eager he licked his own. "Can I…?"

—What?!—she replies in a whisper as she looks into those piercing blue eyes.

The blond man tilts his face towards her, slowly bringing his lips right up against Amber's.

"Mr. Rinaldi, what...? What are you doing?" she murmurs, completely nervous.

—I'll kiss you, Amber…

She parted her lips slightly at her boss's sincerity, her eyes wide open as his mouth pressed against hers. The contact sent a powerful jolt through her body that she couldn't explain.

Immediately after Mauricio tasted Amber's lips, he wrapped an arm around her waist and slipped his tongue into her mouth, deepening the kiss. He pressed her small, delicate body against his own, lifting her slightly off the ground.

The CEO sucks and licks Amber's tongue while he begins to touch her thigh. He slides his hand down the side of her body, finally cupping one of her very small breasts.

His palm was so large that the breast seemed quite small to him, yet the naturalness of that breast was incredibly pleasurable. There was no silicone or anything artificial in what he was touching.

Then he grabs Amber by the curve of her buttocks with both hands, lifting her completely off the ground. The blond man wraps his legs around her bare waist as he again slams the brunette's back against the door.

He squeezed the girl's narrow waist, unable to feel her skin, which tormented him. He pulled his mouth away from Amber's lips, only to move them to the curve of her neck, where he began to place wet, passionate kisses.

Amber couldn't believe any of this was happening. Her boss was kissing her, touching her. What on earth was going on? What did it all mean? Why was he doing all these things to her?

She was still stunned by his sudden action; she'd never imagined a man like him would be interested in her, well, at least not like that. When her boss's kisses moved from her lips to her neck and a little lower, Amber finally reacted.

"NO!" he exclaims, his voice a little too loud. "What are you doing?"

—I already told you, I'm kissing you—he replies while squeezing one of her breasts, which makes her lose her mind a little.

"Wait..." she moans as the blond man slips back into the crook of her neck and continues rubbing her breast so passionately that it makes it hard to think straight. "Mr. Rinaldi, please stop..."

Mauricio looks for the edge of the flannel she was wearing so he can slide his hand underneath the garment; when he manages to caress the woman's skin, the blond man's body loses its balance.

She was very silky…

Shit!

It was incredibly soft.

As he leaves furtive kisses between her neck and collarbone, his hand travels upward to cup the small mound of her breast. Squeezing it through the fabric of her bra, he hears the brunette gasp as she tenses.

He feels her trying to pull away, but he prevents her, and her rejection only makes him press his body closer to hers… before wasting any more time, he slips his hand under her bra until he feels that tiny erect nipple between his fingers.

—Damn, it's so small…—he groans hoarsely against her neck.

—No, please, stop… —despite the reproaches, she did not try to push him away any further.

Mauricio squeezes her breast, feeling the tip of her nipple between his fingers. By squeezing her breast, he can grasp absolutely everything, and he likes that quite a lot. The blond bites his lip, knowing that this girl was completely natural.

It had been so long since I'd been with a woman who was genuinely natural…

"Amber…" he growls, holding her chin in his hand. He looks at the brunette's expression and his heart flares; her rosy cheeks are a clear trigger for his libido. "Oh, Amber! You have no idea what your body makes me feel."

—Please—she kept pleading, but keeping her eyes closed.

—I want you to look me in the eyes.

—No—he quickly denies.

— Look at me!

Mauricio squeezes her nipple, causing her to suddenly open her eyes and lips.
