Pain for Pleasure

[Collineus Cardosi]

Collineus Cardosi spent a lot of time in his office nowadays. There were many reasons why. One, he had a new secretary that did whatever he desired. Two, he nearly hated his wife, but going to the office with her at his side made all other men of the office jealous and envious, and he could not risk losing that, and three, the children were driving him nuts. Not any of the pure-bloods, but the one that he had, the part-veela brat. He had made an arrangement with the Patriarch of the Zhefarovich Family to bear a pure-blood heir that was a girl, to marry the future Patriarch. The future Patriarch was six years old already, turning seven. Collineus already received a warning a year ago, but his goals to finally get connected with a powerful family was looking slimmer. He just prayed that the man had not moved on. However tonight was going to be different, it was a celebration. Collineus was throwing a large party on the top floor next to his office, where all of the executives were invited, and so was their lovers. The party itself would have over a hundred people attending, none of them were the common workers of his company. Collineus was currently attending with his wife, as he used the elevator to go upstairs. His wife stood next to him as they rose up to the top level, almost late. Collineus was looking forward to having this party, and those that did not attend but were invited were more than likely going to be fired for missing this important party. Collineus had required his secretary to come forth and attend as well, and wear something foxy. His wife was wearing a form-fitting dress, but it did not show enough, not in his honest opinion. Collineus looked over at his wife and he muttered, "Try not to screw things up, Avalla. This is a big night for me." Avalla looked down and Collineus looked at the floor that they were currently. The elevator arrived to the floor, and Collineus immediately put his arm around his wife's shoulders, for appearance only. The doors opened, and the crowd immediately moved from the doors of the elevator as if they were all waiting for the owner and the host of the party to arrive.

"Welcome, to the party!" Collineus' Italian accented voice boomed over the sounds of others, and his green eyes searched around. He released his wife before he walked over to an assistant and former fling of his, before he whispered something into her ear, smirking and casting a glowering look over at his wife. He was definitely not an ideal husband at all. Collineus then walked away from her, and he approached a table with drinks full of different flavors of alcohol. Collineus chose a gold one, the one with the most alcohol before he downed it in one hefty gulp. Oh the alcohol was very good for something like this. And now his emerald eyes was searching for one woman that he was expecting to be here tonight. Miss Leia Thoreau. He definitely appreciated her body, and all of the favors that he had asked of her. In fact he sort of needed a favor tonight. There was a party tonight, and he wanted to get loose. In fact, Collineus could have sworn that he was having a craving for her body. 'She definitely is not a Veela, thought Collineus before he shrugged and he looked around the place some more. He dismissed some others that approached him to speak, but he didn't want to talk right then. He just wanted to find Leia, and really show her his wife, before perhaps fondling her in front of Avalla for kicks. Collineus thought that it would be a good way to spend the day anyhow. He smirked once more, as he stared out the window, loving the fact that he felt like he was the king of Italy. When it came down to owning companies, helping the Scitorari, it felt right. Collineus looked over his shoulder once, and he saw Avalla talking with some of the older women, before scoffing and getting another glass of scotch.​

<COLOR color="#000">Leia Thoreau smirked foxily at the man who held the doors open for her. the best part about this job was the way those below her job treated her. It made Leia feel like a queen sometimes. Never in her life was she treated like this. Her family wasn't poor or anything but they never had enough money to make her feel like this. Ever since Leia had become a secretary for this company she had been reaping the benefits as much as she could. There was an excellent pay, a decent staff, oh and Leia could barely even begin to express the benefits she had when it came to her boss. Collineus Cardosi. He was most certainly what she would call a man. Leia thoroughly enjoyed him. By him she meant it literally too. See when Leia signed up for the job as his personal secretary, little did she know how close he liked to get with his person secretaries. From day one Leia had not only been pleasing him by doing her job, but she also made his time in his office a little bit more bearable. It was the least she could do for him. He did hire her and provide more than enough funds for her to live comfortably. Leia had never earned as much money as she did with this job. Collineus had done more than enough to provide her with a comfortable lifestyle. The least she could do was thank him in any way she could. However, there was more to them than just a secretary and boss relationship it seemed. At least in Leia's point of view anyways. It wasn't that she had feelings for Collineus. At least not yet. More or less just the fact that she desire him. For more than money. More or less the fact that she wanted his body, and his touch, and just him all the time. Leia supposed that was because he was he was just that good. Or that he was a smooth talker. There had to be something about him. Because Leia found herself attracted to him like a moth was to a light. Normally it was the other way around. Normally Leia was being sought after by guy after guy, and she was left to do nothing but turn them away because she thought they were pathetic and not worth her time. Now it was the other way around. It felt dumb being on this end of the relationship. But she was determined to be Collineus' favorite secretary. No matter what it took to get there.

Leia handed her coat off to someone and glanced around at the booming party. Everyone from the office was here. Leia could see all sorts of faces. Some she saw often and some she barely saw at all. But the one face she had been hoping to see wasn't around anywhere. "Scotch please." Leia stated coldly to some man who asked what kind of drink she would like. She didn't have much time to think on what she wanted. She was much too busy looking for Collineus. Towards the windows she spotted him. But she waited until her drink had been delivered to her by the man she ordered it from before she approached him ever so quietly. "How does it feel to practically be the kind of Italy?" Leia questioned as she whispered it into his ear, almost sensually. Her fingers trailed across his shoulder until Leia let them fall back to her side. Her eyes glanced out the window in front of her. The view was close to breathtaking. How Collineus must have adored seeing this view every day. Leia stood next to him and sipped her scotch. "Lovely party." Leia smirked and took another sip. She wondered if Collineus' wife was here. She had heard little about the woman but she knew he was married. Leia had been interested in the woman. Especially she wondered if the woman and Collineus loved one another. Especially since they had a habit of cheating on one another. Leia glanced at Collineus quickly before she turned back to face the booming party.​

[Collineus Cardosi]

The employees knew how to keep a man like him satisfied, especially some of them anyhow. Only those that worked closely with Collineus got the royal treatment, and it was even sometimes that they were treated like loyal subjects by him as well. That was rare in itself, but he only did this to pure-bloods. Not that anyone really fought against him. They knew, and he was not about to give up his position here. He assisted others, and there was not enough proof to shut him down. He knew, and saw through to it. Collineus took another drink of his scotch, and immediately he heard someone question him. It was none other than his secretary, and one of his many affairs that he had on his wife, that his wife knew about. Collineus thoroughly enjoyed having her around. Even her mere presence made him smirk, and hunger for lust appeared in his serpent green eyes. There was only so many people that he could do that do, and he would love to do stuff with her tonight. He would absolutely love it if his wife either joined, or just walked in. She had always remained loyal to him, but with his job, he could put her son through the best of schools. He snaked his hand around her waist, his hand finding her behind, and holding it tight. He greeted her like this rather often, and he purred, "It feels like I own the world. One day, I shall. Everything here, will one day be mine." His thirst for power exceeded more than anyone he had ever met. He wanted everything, and he was being pulled into the world of madness. It was not a good road to travel, but it was not like he cared either. He wanted power, and one of his ways was getting an heir, a female of pure-blood, and then he would have his link. Collineus then had a very sly idea. He looked down at Leia and there was a gleam in his eyes. Normally when he had intimate relations with Leia, he would have on protection. Perhaps she could be the mother. It was not like he needed to get married, he just needed a daughter. Nothing else.

"Oh the party is just beginning, come. I'll let you meet my oh so lovely wife," smirked the Scitorari leader, hiding his plan to have her have his heir, and his right to be the father-in-law to the next large Partiarch of the might family. He already had some sort of feud going on with another family, but both were at a good stand. There was a written treaty, between the Cardosi family and the Pisces. Once would not interfere with the other. With those thoughts brewing in his mind, he lead the beautiful secretary, Leia, over to Avalla before he smirked, and he introduced them to one and another, "This is Avalla, my wife. Avalla, meet the woman that I have been spending more time with. Now if you will excuse us. We have other important matters that we need to attend to. Some jobs that need to be taken care of, now." Collineus was sure that Leia would come with him, because he wanted to make another night of passion with her. There was lust in his eyes, and he pressed the button on the elevator to travel down. He looked down at her, and it was like a code for her. He knew that she would know what he was wanting. After all, he was rather easy to read with those types of intentions clear in his mind and in his body language. Especially since his hand had not left her rear for even a moment. She had a nice one, it was not like he was going to let it go. He had seen some eyes of other men, others with lust in their eyes, wanting her. But not until after he was through with her. He was not willing to share any woman that he had affairs with until he was bored with them. And from the way it was seeming right now, he was not going to be bored with Leia, for quite some time. Hell, he stopped all over affairs because Leia kept him so satisfied, he needed no one else.​

 

[Leia Baros]

Leia was used to Collineus’ rough ways. In fact a part of her liked the way he was. All her life Leia was used to the cruel way her father treated her and her sister. Leilani had enough anger to break free from her old life and form a new one. But Leia was not as courageous. She had become so accustomed to the treatment that she almost craved to be handled roughly. It was all that she knew. Even today he reined control over her life more than she would ever like to admit. He wanted her to marry the son of an old business partner of his. He thought it would become beneficial to him in the future. To have such a strong corporation part of his family. Leia didn’t care either way. She didn’t love the man. Leia didn’t love anyone. Anything she did was done because she thought it would help her in the end. It was like a game of chess. Care moves were made to secure another round to be played. Like Collineus. Despite the other reasons like his handsome features, or how he treated her the way she was used to being treated, or his power, it was all done because Leia worried that he would no longer want to keep her as his secretary if she didn’t comply with all of his desires. Actually, Leia felt bad for his wife. Even if she tried to make it seem like she could care less, the idea of marriage was beautiful to her. It was something she would never get to see. Not with her actually being in love at least. Leia considered herself to be too damaged to know how to love another person properly. But here was this woman that loved him, or was at least loyal enough to pretend like she did. Yet Collineus came around parading women that he had bedded. Leia wasn’t sure if she would ever have the strength to tell him that she disliked that. She felt like she was tearing a marriage apart. A family. Leia may have been a bad person at heart. But she wasn’t sure if she was cruel enough to do this.

Regardless of her thoughts though, Leia was powerful to Collineus’ charm. There was just something about him. The darkness that lurked within him was alluring. It called to her. Not to mention how attractive a man in power was. The door to an office opened and Leia moved from Collineus’ grasp to pull him in. Even though she hated the thought of ruining his marriage, she was too drawn in to stop. Plus for all she knew, her job could depend on making him happy. Leia pulled Collineus to her and allowed her lips to find his jaw. It was fairly dark within the office so Leia was surprised that she was able to see him at all. But there were small glimmers of light outside the tall window. The streetlights were doing a good job providing light to the city below. "There are a lot of people up there. Are you sure they won’t mind your brief absence, Sir!” Leia asked between kisses. She didn’t want a crowd coming around to search for him and possibly walking in on them. Not only would that be embarrassing, but it would also make others question her real reasons for working here. Leia smirked against Collineus when back hit the desk. "And your wife….she doesn’t seem to be so fond of me. Quite sad really.” Leia adjusted Collineus’ tie. Trying to get it off in a quick manner. A part of her felt bad when she saw the look in the woman’s eye. Because one again, Leia hated the thought of ruining a marriage. But at the same time she had empowerment. This was some other woman’s man and here she was, having him all to herself. "Let’s try not to break the desk this time.” Leia whispered in his ear. She also hoped he actually planned on this so he brought something with him. The last thing Leia needed was to have children with her boss. Or with any man actually. Leia wasn’t too good with kids. She never had been and likely never would be. It would appear as if Collineus might not have been either. She didn’t see him with kids very often. Did he even have any?

 

[Collineus Cardosi]

Collineus emerged from the elevator with Leia into the dark, empty office that was his. Her lips connected to his jaw, and it had everything in him to keep from falling to the floor with her, to ravish her with all of his being. He enjoyed her like the way she was behaving right now. There was much more to this than before, and he wanted more out of than just good nights together. He released her rear to hold her by her back, holding her next to his own warm body. He wanted her, now, but she seemed to be talking. It seemed like they were moving as they entered further into the office until his back hit the desk, and he had to hold himself upright with his free arm. He could not let Leia have that much control over the situation. After all, he was the boss, and as the poss, he felt that he needed the power. He finally managed an answer to her question, "If they complain, I'll just fire them. I think they will suffer more if I were here and I don't get this tonight from you." It was just something he needed, and if he did not get what he wanted, everyone paid the price for it. He never felt bad for his actions when it came down to cheating on his wife, but they were in a loveless marriage. He wanted more than just good looks when it came down to marriage, not like he would ever admit it. He did not know anything else about marriage other than good nights together and he did not have anything like that with Avalla. Leia was still good at being able to seduce him, and he was sure that no one would walk in on them, as they needed the privacy. His serpent green eyes looked at the window, and saw that it was open, and if the lights were on, then everyone would be able to see their intimate night if they were to fly by. Collineus would not be happy with that at all. He didn't know if he was going to ever be able to stop having his affairs when it came down to still being married to his wife.

Leia mentioned that his wife might not be so fond of him, and he smirked even more as he brought his lips to claim hers heatedly, and he broke for a moment as he murmured while he slipped off his tie and started to remove his coat, "She isn't fond of my actions. I don't know why she doesn't divorce me already. Then again, look at who I am. Don't take it personal, since all that matters is that I want you." He was rather cocky with these reasons, but then again look at what he was doing. He was with another woman. Another woman that he reather liked, and then she said for them not to break the desk this time. He shrugged, and he kissed her neck, while moving around so that he was leaning her over the desk and getting above her, just hovering but not removing any article of clothing. He wasn't going to bother with one thing, and he decided that he should at least let her know his plans. He paused his kissing upon her neck to whisper sultry into her ear, "I want you to bear me a child." It would be much of a shock, but it wasn't like he was prepared for a yes. He was almost sure that she would say no, but Collineus knew just how to get what he wanted, and he could easily give her everything she wanted if she would say yes, and give him what he wanted in return. Yet he did not want just a son, but he wanted a daughter instead. That was what was so surprising about this all. This was why he was hovering over her, since she would not have room to get out, not without trying to push him off of the desk. Collineus would have what he wanted in due time. He could easily get a new desk, but his priorities now was something else. He wanted someone that did not have dirty blood. "The child would be pure of bloods, and wouldn't be a disgrace in the wizarding world. Think about it, the blood of ours mixing together. It would be of incredible power and beauty." Collineus had never complimented her, but this was one of the things that showed that he was actually getting attached, when he was telling her that she was a beauty, and not just sexy or hot. Would she even catch that?​

<COLOR color="#000">Leia smirked. She loved that about Collineus. How in command he was all the time, no matter what went on, he had some form of control. He didn't seem like he was ever expecting to loose that power either. Leia loved how in control of things he was, even more so than the power, the wealth, or even his good looks. Leia had never been in control of anything really. Her father always kept her one peg below the rest of the world. "I think you should fire them all anyways. Bunch of nosy cows if you ask me. They don't like us to have any fun." Leia knew that the other workers within this corporation knew about Collineus having affairs. They must not like him doing so, because whenever Leia was headed to his office, even if it really was just for work, they tried to distract her, or offer to do the job for her. Leia never really brought it up until now either. Mostly because she used to think they were just being nice to her. Leia was kind of kidding about the firing thing. They may have been idiots, but they were kind of needed to assist with running the company. Leia's small fingers found their way to Collineus face, where they ran over his features with admiration. Leia was in love with how smooth his skin was for a man. As a lady she did everything she could to make sure her skin was as flawless as she could make it. But Collineus didn't seem like the type of guy who would moisturize. So his skin was naturally nice. Leia's lips found Collineus' jawline and trailed her way down to his neck. She knew he was focused on the window at the moment, but she was driven to get his attention elsewhere. Let the world look, if he wasn't afraid of getting caught by his own wife downstairs, then there was likely no one Leia felt his lips connect with hers heatedly while her own lips curled into a smile against them. When they broke apart and Collineus old Leia about his wife, she frowned. Me were so dense sometimes.

"Clearly she hasn't left you yet because she loves you. But I never take anything personally, so don't worry." By this Leia also meant that she didn't get attached. Nothing was ever personal to her. That was why she was careful with Collineus. If she wasn't careful, she could end up liking him a lot more than she needed to. Leia laughed when Collineus shrugged his shoulders about the desk thing. She really was hoping they wouldn't break this one. However all thoughts of the poor desk were pushed aside as Leia was laid down onto the desk, underneath Collineus. Just as she was getting into it, Collineus whispered something in her ear that caused her to freeze and break apart from his touch. He wanted her to have a baby? Was a freaking nuts. Even as her boss, that was just, there was no way. "Have a baby? No. Coll- I mean, Lord Cardosi, that is something I can't give you. Why are you asking me instead of your wife anyways?" After all, if he married her, she should want to have babies with her too. Why ask Leia? She was his secretary, nothing more than that. Since Collineus was hovering over Leia on the desk, she didn't have anywhere to go. "Also, what makes you of all people want to have a kid anyways? They're nothing but smelly and time consuming." It should be pretty obvious that Leia had no experience with kids. Right now having one was the last thing she desired. Especially if it would ruin her body, and income. This whole baby thing, and the fact that Collineus called her beautiful made Leia think that she was getting too attached to Collineus. Which she promised herself she wouldn't do. "I should go." Leia tried to duck out and free herself from being underneath Collineus. He was expecting a from her by telling her this. Could anyone really blame her from wanting to get away from the situation?​

[Collineus Cardosi]

Collineus heard her words, on how he should fire them all anyways, and how they were nosy little cows. He smirked even more, and how they were going to end up, well, how they always had, it was almost dirty talk to hear her tell him as a boss, what he needed to do. He purred, "I need someone to do the work that I am not willing to waste my time on. I can't just fire them. How about we just run away together and be alone for a long time?" He was not really being serious about that, but the sheer idea made him actually want it. To leave it all now. However his determination to keep things going his way kept him from making that sound like a goal. The moment that she was kissing his neck made him wild, just the sheer enjoyment. The vixen knew just how to play her cards right. If she could, Collineus knew that she could manipulate him to do whatever she pleased. The consequences afterward wouldn't be pleasant, but she had the ability. If she managed to find out what it was, then he would be a man that needed to find a way to fight back. Right now though, he definitely wasn't. The world was going to watch them and he did not care. His hands raised her dress up a bit so he could touch the flesh that was her flat stomach, holding her hips against his own. The closeness alone with clothing on was good enough for him, but he still wanted more. There was so much more than simple chemistry between them and he did not know what it was. But whatever it was, it felt really good. He would have to keep her around for a long time. Leia was simply, amazing in all the right ways. She was stunning, indescribable really. There was obviously something there that he did not realize, and how he was dangerously letting himself become too attached, thus making himself too vulnerable to the secretary that worked under him. She did not seem very pleased with the fact that he did not care much for his wife.

He paused for a moment when he had to even consider that. He shook his head since that was not what Avalla told him. "She doesn't love me. I know this because she's told me, countless times. I almost can't stand to be in the same room with her, so maybe it is about time I should look up that divorce lawyer." Now that he was being completely serious on. He was getting tired of being with Avalla and her dreadful little boy. He didn't even know their true blood type. For all he knew, they could be filthy little half-bloods. That nearly made him sneer, but then he could not help but get distracted by Leia. Her reaction to his request would not be a surprise. It was quite demanding. She even froze from his touch, and this was one of the first times he had ever been told 'no' to. The expression on his face clearly read that. He was asked why he would want to have a kid anyways, and how they were smelly and time consuming. He knew that. She tried to leave too, but from where she was, it was almost impossible. Plus he had a hold of her too. He looked down at her dress before he sighed, "I know how a child is. I raised one. Don't ask. And I currently am a guardian over a handful of nieces and nephews. I need a pure-blood heir. I can't trust my wife's blood. There's no evidence of her being a pure-blood. But this child, it has to be special. Not just any, but a female. The deal was, several years ago was that I was given the funds to start this company. I need to give this... I need to provide a pure-blood girl for this family to be wed into. It would be an alliance I cannot afford to lose." Collineus looked around before he added, "I could give you anything you want, from the biggest diamond to a mansion. There'll be no strings attached. Just this one task, and I will shower you with your deepest, darkest desires." It was a bribe, a gamble, and he was hoping that she would go for it. If not, he could always 'accidentally' forget protection, and ensure she has no preventatives. However, he would prefer not to go that route if it was not necessary.​

<COLOR color="#000">Leia couldn’t believe this was happening to her. When she took this job, she assumed that she was going to be stuck working her ass off for some boss who paid her no attention except every once and awhile. Perhaps even went as far as to flirt with her every once and awhile. Instead, she was currently being pinned to a desk by him, being asked to give him a child. "This is probably karma’s way of telling me to stop being greedy, or to stop hitting on my boss. Just my luck." Leia thought to herself with disdain as she tried to figure out a way out of this. Having a baby at her age was just not in the agenda, even if this was her boss asking her to do this. Collineus started give her the story behind why he wanted this baby, and why he wanted it from her, and Leia started to feel bad for him. He owed a child to another family. Leia almost wanted to ask why he would practically sell one of his own children to pay off a debt to a family, but it was none of her business. Unless this baby wound up being hers, but even then Leia wasn’t sure if she had the right to voice her opinion. Leia was about to ask Collineus some more questions, but she was cut off by him bribing her. He was willing to go that far to get what he wanted? Oh he was good. He would be willing to give her whatever he wanted, and there would be no strings attached. That really intrigued Leia because she didn’t want to end up falling in love with her boss and having her heart broken when she was replaced by some younger and much more beautiful secretary.

"Fine. I can see that you really need help with this. So I’ll help you out. When I am officially pregnant, we’ll talk about the demands I want to make, and no remember….no strings attached." Leia offered, she wouldn’t ask him for nothing until her part of the deal was fulfilled. She may have been a sneaky little Vixen, but she stuck to her deals. Being loyal often benefited her in the end. Leia leaned up and kissed Collineus again, giving him the go ahead to go down with his little plan. The thought of having children scared her. But Leia was greedy and vain. The thought of being very rich excited her. Leia wasn’t the type to go around acting like she was a saint. She knew she wasn’t. There was no point in trying to be something she wasn’t. Leia felt her dress being taken off by Collineus, and she smiled against his lips. At least she got to have a little fun in the process too. Even if she was scared for what the future held. Collineus’ upper clothing was already taken care of within a few short moments, but as Leia went fuss with his belt, she was surprised by the sound of a doorknob turning. Leia froze let her eyes slide over to the door had just been opened. Leia’s eyes rested on Collineus’ wife. "Sh*t." Leia cursed under her breath as she buried her face against his arm. She was so embarrassed; she didn’t even want to look at the poor woman. She could imagine that dirty looks were being given though. After all, this was the man she was in love with, and here Leia was; half naked and underneath him. Leia felt for this woman. Especially since this is the number one reason she didn’t want to get involved. Leia didn’t want to end up being in that woman’s shoes.​

[Collineus Cardosi]

Collineus could tell that his words were going through her. Sure, it sounded pretty bad, that he was willing to have one of his heirs go to another family so willingly. This was the Zhefarovich Family. If he had not paid off his debt, it would be his life. This would also guarantee his future daughter protection and everything. Riches beyond imagine, and the darkest of magic being taught to her. A father could not be more proud of his daughter if she managed to accomplish that. Mixing of his blood and Leia's would ensure the child to be pure-blood, but it was still a fifty-fifty chance of it being a boy or a girl. He will just make sure that she will have the perfect child, have everything she wanted, and even have a gym to get her body back into shape if she wanted, or surgery too. He could pay for that. He could give her anything and everything she wanted. She agreed to it, and when she is officially pregnant, they will talk about the demands that she will want to make. And he would remember that there would not be anything attached by this. No strings at all. He smirked and he said, "That is fine by me." He was good with keeping his deals, but he was sure that he did not need to make a contract out of this at all. They were both pretty handy at keeping deals, so there was no issue with that at all. He could not wait until she was pregnant with his child already. She leaned up and kissed his lips once more, and that ensured that they were good to go. He took off her dress and removed his own jacket and shirt as well with her help. He just hoped that the desk was strong enough for the two of them. They had learned previously to get a pretty sturdy desk. As he was about to remove the rest of her clothing, so he could endure her physically, the doorknob turned, and in came his wife. Collineus looked over and he groaned out of annoyance. Leia cursed and buried her face in his arm. Collineus on the other hand spoke in a harsh tone, "Do you mind? I am sealing a deal here. Some privacy is needed." With those words, the wife left. He smirked, chuckled a bit, and then he turned his attention back to Leia. "Now where were we?" He started kissing her neck, and on to making this whole plan succeed, while having some fun in the process.​
