Guarding His Heart

“Oh okay.” I shrugged, not really caring.
“Okay, I’ll tell you.” Her hand rested on my thigh and she moved it up, terribly close to my groin. I shifted away from her uncomfortably. “It was called Wild Nights With The Buttman”.
“Sorry what?” I frowned. Had I heard her correctly?
“Wild Nights With The Buttman.” She said again. “It wasn’t a  p**n . It was an art-house movie. Yes, there was real sex, but we used condoms and it was in the name of art.”
“Uh okay, what was the movie about?”
“It was basically an introspection of this man’s life.”
“I’m assuming that man was the Buttman?” I tried not to laugh as she was talking about it so seriously.
“Yes!” She nodded. “It basically followed this very complicated character on his journey through life.”
“And let me guess, it focused on how much he liked, uh, butts?”
“Yes,” She grinned. “I guess you know these art-house movies.”
“Uh yeah.” I nodded. “So what was your role?”
“I was the girl in apartment eight,” Her eyes were wide. “He had a crush on me and finally we get together. It was a very intense role about what I meant to him.”
“Did you have many lines?”
“No.” She shook her head. “Just one. The director wanted to focus on the visuals of the scene more.”
“I see. So what was the line? Do you remember it?”
“It was f**k me harder.” She whispered into my ear and I could see a smile on her face. “I had to scream ‘fuck me harder’ as we had doggy style sex outside my front door.”
“Outside your front door?” I asked, trying not to laugh.
“Yes.” She paused. “I did it for the movie. I don’t normally sleep around. The director wanted to show how deeply Buttman loved butts that he had to have doggy style everywhere.”
“I see.” I nodded and tried not to roll my eyes. I wondered how many other women had fallen for this directors’ bullshit.
“So anyways, maybe tonight I can show you around the City?”
“Hmm, maybe.” I jumped up then as I saw Rob placing his hand on Hannah’s shoulder. “Excuse me.” I walked over to the other side of the room quickly and placed my hand on Hannah’s back. “Everything okay over here?”
“Of course.” Rob looked annoyed that he’d been interrupted but I could see thanks in Hannah’s eyes.
“Let’s get on with business then.” My voice was deep and no-nonsense. I was already ready to get out of there.
“I think Amber wants to show you something first.” Rob shook his head. “And I’d like to take Hannah to the top…” He licked his lips and looked down at Hannah’s br**sts against and that’s when something in me snapped.
“I think not.” I grabbed Hannah’s hand and stared at Rob for a second. “We’re out of here, there will be no deal.”
“What?” He shrieked, looking panicked. “What are you talking about? You need this deal.”
“No, you need this deal.” I could feel anger surging through my bones as I walked towards the door, with Hannah by my side.
“I know you need this deal.” He shouted. “Your father will be pissed when he finds out you couldn’t make it work.”
“I’ll deal with him.” I shrugged. “I’m not going to let you talk to my assistant like that and I’m not going to let your assistant try and seduce me either. That’s not how I work. This is over.” I walked out of the door and slammed it shut after Hannah exited.
“What are you doing?” Her eyes were wide with shock. “Everyone is waiting on you to close this deal. You can’t just leave.”
“I can and I am. Let’s go.” I grabbed her hand again and we walked down the stairs together in silence and exited the building. “I tried to tell you to stay away from him.” I sighed as we walked down the busy streets. “I tried to tell you he was to be avoided, but no, you didn’t want to listen.” I sighed as I thought about the conversation I was going to have to have with my dad. He was going to be pissed.
“I’m sorry.” She squeezed my hand. “I should have listened to you.”
“Yes, you should have.”
“I didn’t know what you were talking about.”
“He wanted to have a threesome with you and Debbie Does Dallas.”
“What?” She frowned in confusion.
“Amber is a  p**n  star.”
“What?” She screeched. “I told you she was a ho.”
“Yeah, well, you nearly became one as well.” I gave her a stern look. “If I hadn’t come and saved you, who knows what would have happened?”
“Thank you.” She said reluctantly. “I didn’t realize they were so creepy.”
“It’s fine.” I nodded. “I don’t think either one of us expected for the day to go like this.”
“So what do we do now?” She looked at me apprehensively. I knew she comprehended how big a deal it was that I’d walked out of the meeting.
“Well we spend the rest of the day and tomorrow in New York and then we go back to LA so I can face the music.”
“I’m sorry. You didn’t have to walk out because of me.”
