Chapter 2 Oliver Bennett vs. Adrian Graham: Unquenchable lust…the beginning!

***

It hadn’t been love at first sight. More like lust. Oliver had literally gasped for breath when he first laid eyes on Adrian. The man was breathtakingly gorgeous. He looked to be in his early thirties. He was about six’ two, had jet black hair cropped low and the most intense eyes Oliver had ever seen. Even as he fought for breath like a fish out of water, he couldn’t tear his eyes off Adrian Graham. Of course, he’d automatically reached for his Ventolin inhaler and pretended to take a hit so that the people around wouldn’t know the truth behind his gasp. Oliver groaned when he realized that his pathetic action had rather attracted Adrian’s undivided attention. That was obviously the doctor in him.

“Better?” Adrian came closer to him and asked in that sexy voice of his, his eye full of concern and yet so soft. And in that very moment, Oliver had been a goner.

“I’m fine, thanks.” Oliver had responded breathlessly, fighting the urge to shake off the gentle hand on his elbow that was causing his insides to go all fluttery. It didn’t help matters when Adrian pulled out a chair for him and sat beside him. Oliver had to suppress a groan.

They were in the conference room of Adonna Hospital, which was adjudged one of the twenty most luxurious and expensive hospitals in the US. It was a private facility offering top-notch medical and surgical services. One would definitely feel as though they’d checked into a five-star luxury hotel the moment they entered Adonna Hospital. Patients who could afford were accommodated in deluxe suites with huge bathrooms, large LED flat screens, in-room minibar, massage, personal stylist, and even a celebratory cocktail party for ten people.

Even single rooms came with their own LCD flat screens, telephone, internet connection, and private nurse services. Adonna Hospital was guaranteed to make anyone’s stay feel like a pampering medical holiday, with world-class amenities. It was no wonder the hospital made millions of dollars each year from renting out its deluxe hospital rooms. And it was owned by Dr. Adrian Graham, with who Oliver was there to have a meeting. Infolink, one of the best ICT firms in the country, had been contracted by Adonna Hospital to completely change the hospital’s ICT infrastructure and replace it with new software for their operations.

Oliver and his colleague and best friend, Jason, both senior managers at Infolink, had been assigned to handle the contract. Jason, who had been the one dealing directly with Adrian since the inception of their contract, had a family emergency so Oliver had to quickly step in for their final meeting. Emergency or no emergency, they had to meet the deadline. Their meeting that day was to go over the framework for the final time and get Adrian to sign off, before Oliver and his team started the work the next day.

They also needed to tell Adrian exactly what they needed to enable them to do their work thoroughly. For instance, in order to successfully install the latest high-tech equipment, they needed the maximum corporation of the staff. Oliver also wanted to introduce himself to Adrian before he showed up to start work the following day. After all, he was a very big and important client. What Oliver hadn’t anticipated was meeting a man who would turn his insides to mush with just a glance.

Oliver was gay. He’d known he was since he was fourteen. He’d been a typical nerd but fortunately for him, he’d never been bullied in school because of his looks. His beautiful face, coupled with his tall, slender, and graceful body, made him look so adorable the kids just loved him. Even the jocks and bullies in school were so impressed with his brilliance and sweet gentle nature that they never bothered Oliver Bennett. To top it off, he’d been an only child so had been doted on by his parents. He’d gotten a full scholarship to MIT and had graduated top of his class. His job was waiting for him even before he’d completed school. Oliver had been hired by the biggest ICT company in the country and had made the firm even richer with his smartness and innovation. At the age of twenty-eight, Oliver had more money than most people his age.

Due to the nature of his work, his love life had virtually been nonexistent. Yes, he’d been with men before. But he could count the number of men he’d been with on one hand. And that was not because men didn’t find him attractive. After all, he radiated a vulnerable sensuality to which men…and women alike responded helplessly. Oliver just didn’t have time. Jason had gotten married right after school and already had a kid so Oliver made sure he stepped in for him whenever necessary to enable his friend to have some time for his family.

Oliver didn’t have any problem with doing more than his share…he loved his job. Till he saw Adrian for the first time, he hadn’t been with anyone in almost seven months. ‘There are more important things’ was what he always said whenever Jason or his mother told him to take his love life seriously. After all, he was only twenty-eight. And for a man, life was supposed to begin at forty…right?

So his reaction to Adrian Graham had shocked Oliver like nothing ever had. But for his brilliance at what he did, that meeting would have been a disaster. Eventually, they’d agreed on the parameters and work had started the following day. Oliver’s team had been all over the hospital, installing what they had to. Oliver himself had been given an office in the hospital where he was to work from. Apart from the fact that he needed peace to concentrate on the part he was working on…which was the main server, he was bent on completing the contract before time.

The first time Adrian came to Oliver’s office to ask him how the work was progressing, Oliver had stared at him for a moment without answering. His belly tightened and his hole twitched as he stared, unable to tear his gaze away from the hot male standing at the door. Was it even legal for a man to be that mouthwateringly sexy? The man exuded a powerful sexual magnetism that made Oliver’s insides quiver with lust.

“Oliver?” Adrian prompted with an amused smile.

“Oh…yes. Yes, everything is on course,” Oliver almost groaned when he felt the heat traveling up his neck and onto his face. Shit! Adrian remained where he stood, his eyes sweeping the room. “Was there something you wanted?” Oliver croaked, looking down at his laptop.

“Nope. Just checking up on you,” Adrian responded, leaving the doorway and moving into the office till he got to where Oliver sat.

When he stretched his neck to look on the screen Oliver was staring at, Oliver almost groaned at the instant need that slammed into him. Adrian smelt divine. Oliver knew he had to get the man away from him before he disgraced himself when his breathing began to speedup. With a choked sound he sat back in his seat and looked up at Adrian.

“Don’t you have lives to save or something?” He asked sharply and then almost bit off his tongue at his tone. Damn, he sounded rude. He hadn’t meant to though.

With a chuckle, Adrian raised his hands with both palms out in a gesture of peace. “Sorry if I’m being nosy,” He said. “I just find it fascinating that you can even understand what you’re looking at that’s all. Didn’t mean any harm. I’ll get out of your hair.” And with that Adrian had stepped out of Oliver’s office.

Oliver had groaned, running his fingers through his blonde hair in frustration. What the fuck had he done? Adrian was for the duration of the project, his employer for fuck’s sake. Talking to him like that had been totally out of line. Shit! But he’d panicked. Just seeing that face had been enough to give him a delicious thrill within...and it had scared him. And as if that wasn’t inappropriate enough, he’d wanted to do more than just look at the man. He’d wanted those sexy lips on his, those hands on him, that body rubbing against his, that cock which he just knew would be big and beautiful, fucking deep into him till…

“Fuck…” Oliver swore darkly, getting to his feet. He was so hard his cock could have drilled holes in hard concrete with cheeky ease. Shit. Shit. Shit.

He needed to get laid, he told himself. He needed to feel a big hard cock plowing deeply into him. As a total bottom, simply jacking off was not satisfying enough. It had been too long. Why else would he lust after a married man? Seeing a wedding band on Adrian’s finger that day in the conference room had only made him feel guilty for lusting after a married man. Oliver had always thought it was the most stupid thing to lust after a straight guy. He’d vowed never to ever make that mistake. So why the fuck was he still lusting after the man even though it was obvious he was very married and very straight?

Oliver had overheard him telling someone just a day earlier that his wife and kids were doing great. So Adrian was obviously very straight. Oliver looked down at his tented cargo pants and went back to his seat, taking deep breaths to bring his body under control. Thanks to his current contract, he didn’t have the time to go get laid. He didn’t have any choice but to rein in his lust till Adrian’s job was done. He prayed the man would stay out of his way till he was done with his job and out of there.
