King of New York (35 page)

“Oh Chad, oh
baby, yes, Chad,” she whimpers softly as she slowly licks her fingers.

“That’s enough. I
want you to stop,” he says, his breathing hard and rough. “You’re driving me
crazy, princess, your moans are so erotic. I love when you say my name. Now, say
it slowly.”

“Chad … Chad … Chad,”
she whimpers softly.

“Yes, Sierra. I
wish I could fuck you right now.” His voice is deep and erotic.

Sierra moans
uncontrollably as she hears the sex in his voice.

“Feel me as I watch
you. Imagine me licking the juice off your fingers as I slowly enter inside you,”
he says slowly.

She feels her
body shaking with pleasure as his dirty and erotic words make her orgasm.

“Look at
yourself in the mirror. Watch your face as you orgasm and imagine that it is me
watching you as you watch yourself.”

She stares
erotically into the mirror, picturing Chad’s eyes. She moans loudly.

“Only I can make
you wet, even when I’m not around, now tell it to me,” he whispers softly.

His voice is
seductive.

“Only you can
make me cum even when you’re not around, baby.”

“Good girl. Now
tell me that you love me, tell me, baby.”

“I love you,
Chad Perry, I love you.”

****

Sebastian is livid as he hears her
proclaim her love for Chad Perry and the fact that he has control over her. For
her to be brave enough to put him on speaker inside his home enrages his whole
being, but he tries to maintain calm.

****

Sierra hears someone outside the
door. Fear consumes her.

“I have got to
go, baby …”

“Okay, but when
I see you I will have a pleasant surprise waiting for you, princess. And one
more thing, never sleep with Sebastian again. Promise me!”

“I promise,
Chad.”

****

Sebastian opens the door and he
acts as if he hadn’t heard anything, but he’d
heard everything she’d said to
Chad. He is infuriated but doesn’t show her his true feelings as he kisses her
on her forehead and walks out the room

“I need to pay
someone special a long-awaited visit, darling. I’ll be back soon. Enjoy your
day, my dear.”

****

Sierra is oblivious to
Sebastian’s tone as he speaks about someone special. All she can think about is
Chad. The thought of him consumes and possesses her. She doesn’t love Sebastian
and hearing Chad’s voice on the phone as he gave her an orgasm reaffirms the
truth.

“Yeah, whatever.
I’ll see you later, Seb, bye.”

CHAPTER 26

Quietly Sebastian leaves the
room, slamming the door behind him. He hails a yellow taxi and disappears into
the night.

The driver stops
in an affluent area of New York on the Upper West Side. Sebastian decides to
take the stairs of the high-rise building. His heartbeat quickens as the stairs
seem to get steeper with every step he takes. The air is humid and it presses
on his already warm skin. His thoughts darken in anticipation of what his
unexpected visit holds.

He reaches the
top of the stairs, wipes the sweat off his face and calmly opens the door to
the corridor. The air within is fresh and thin. He makes his way to the door
with the numbers made of gold. The night is calm and is reflected in the
quietness of the penthouse floor. The red carpet feels soft under his feet but
his thoughts are hard and cruel.

He knocks ever
so softly and waits. The door opens slowly and before him stands a man with
ice-cold blue eyes and a glass of cognac in his hand.

“Chad Perry!
What a pleasure to finally get properly acquainted with you. The last time we
met was unfortunate for both of us. But I guarantee you, I hold no grudges.”

Chad doesn’t say
a word, but Sebastian follows him in and quietly closes the door behind him. Sebastian
is secretly in awe of the masterpiece that is Chad Perry’s home as he takes in
the view. The news is on but the volume is muted. Chad takes a seat, as does
Sebastian, without being asked.

“To what do I
owe the unfortunate pleasure of your presence?” They stare at each other
momentarily before Sebastian speaks.

“I am here to
tell you that if you don’t leave –”

Chad throws the
glass of cognac, and it slices the side of Sebastian’s jaw before fully
smashing into pieces on the floor.

His green eyes
spark with rage but he maintains his composure. He continues to speak as blood
trickles from his chin down to his finely pressed white shirt.

“I am here to
tell you that if you don’t leave Sierra alone I will be forced to take drastic
measures.”

Chad laughs. “I
suggest you take this tissue and clean yourself. You’re like a bitch on her
menstrual, bleeding.” He throws the soft white paper at him. Sebastian wipes
his jaw and sees the flashes of red on the whiteness of the tissue.

“Let me tell you
something about me, Mr?”

“Benoit.”

“Mr Benoit. I am
Chad Perry, entrepreneur extraordinaire with a bad streak that will make even
your nightmares afraid of me. This is my city! This is my town! And whoever
dares to cross my path will, without doubt, regret such actions. Do not allow
my appearance to fool you like it does the ladies. I am a bad man, a very bad man,
who you, my feeble foe, do not want to fuck with. Understood? I own this
fucking city, you filthy pig! How dare you enter my home and use threats to
address me. I can have you disposed of without a word. That is how powerful I
am. Your audacity, however, is very commendable,” Chad says with a wicked look
in his ice-cold eyes.

Sebastian knows
Chad’s right, but he pretends that he doesn’t fear him. Instead, he gets up and
goes face-to-face with his nemesis.

“You’re not as
big and bad as you think you are, Mr Perry. Have you not heard? Even great kings
fall when commoners outnumber them. We are not as different as you may believe.
I’d like to think we are very alike in many ways. For example, I know your past
and who you truly are. You might be able to fool Sierra into believing that you’re
a man that got lucky and made billions the right way, but I know that there is
blood on your hands and I know the people you betrayed to get to the top. I
know you, Chad Perry!”

Sebastian thinks
he sees fear flicker through Chad’s ice-blue eyes, but not before Chad throws a
lethal punch. Sebastian fights back, smashing Chad onto the floor. Chad gives
him several uppercuts and smashes his face into the floor. Feeling dazed,
Sebastian gets up and slams Chad on the sofa, but he rolls away without being
harmed.

The fighting
stops as the two of them look at the mess in the living room. Sebastian’s face
is bleeding profusely but he doesn’t stop taunting Chad. He spits blood on the
carpet and smiles with bloodstained teeth at his tormentor.

“I know you. I know
your past and if you don’t leave Sierra alone I will haunt you whenever I
please. I’ll start now, with the only memories that pain you. Remember the
times your mother would leave you in the house without food, water or
electricity because of drugs, or the fact that you don’t know your father,
because he left you, you bastard, or maybe even the fact that no one will ever
love you, not even Sierra. So stay the fuck away from her, you crazy old
psycho. She doesn’t want you. Sierra told me that she will do anything to get
to the top, and that includes playing you so she can make it big in New York,
as she knows you have plenty of connections and are willing to do anything for
her. No one will ever love you, Mr Perry, especially not Sierra,” says
Sebastian.

Chad doesn’t
react. Instead, he sits on the arm of the sofa and stares into space as if he
has the world on his shoulders.

“The truth hurts
doesn’t it, Mr Perry. Goodbye!”

Sebastian exits
the room calmly, closing the door behind him. He steps into the lift feeling rather
happy with himself.

****

Suddenly Chad’s place of retreat
that he only comes to when tormented by his demons has been sought out and
defiled by Sebastian Benoit. The sixty million dollar apartment now feels cheap
to Chad as he looks at the ruins of his living space. Although Sebastian
alluding to him knowing of his past disturbs him, he is further disturbed by
something more sinister: the fact that Sebastian said Sierra is using him.
Ironically, it was him that she’d first told of her desire to get to the top.

He laughs
mockingly at himself, feeling a fool for allowing a woman to blind him.

“Indeed, she did
warn me a long time ago that she will do anything to get to the top. But I
never knew it was me she wished to step on. I saw the danger in her eyes but I
never took heed of it,” he says to himself. “Well … I did say that I had
something special in store for her … but, oh how my surprise has drastically
changed. I need her to feel my pain, the pain that she has caused. And after
that she will know that nobody uses Chad Perry. I do the using.”

****

Sebastian returns to Sierra after his visit
to Chad. He enters with his clothes and face bloodstained, but he’s happy.
Sierra screams hysterically.

“What the hell
happened to you? Why are you looking like that? I’m going to call the
paramedics and the police.” Her tone is worried and caring. He gently strokes
her hair.

“No need for
that, darling. I’ll be fine.”

She looks at him
in amazement.

“Are you crazy?
You look a mess. We have to take you to the hospital now.”

His tone
suddenly changes.

“I said no! Do
not call the ambulance. Chad Perry did this to me, Sierra. I was having a drink
with a surgeon friend of mine when suddenly he attacked me. Can you believe it?
The man’s insane. He attacked me without any provocation on my part. Now do you
see why you can’t be with a violent prick like him? He’s no good for you. He’s
hurt you once before, and believe me, with what he told me, he’ll not hesitate
to hurt you again if he sees you.

“He said he only
called you earlier because –”

Sierra
interrupts him, “How do you know I spoke with him today?”

“Erm, well …
well, he told me, that’s how I know.”

She seems
apprehensive but tells him to continue.

“He said he only
called you earlier because he needs to exact revenge because you broke his
heart. So he pretended that he missed you and wanted to see you again. He doesn’t
love you, Sierra. He told me so himself. Chad Perry will do anything to hurt
you, but only if you allow him. Stay with me, I’ll make you happy beyond your
wildest dreams. Stay with me, Sierra. Will you stay with me?”

She stares at
the floor.

“Did he say why
he doesn’t love me? Did he?”

Sebastian says nothing
and can see that Sierra is in turmoil, trying to make a decision. Eventually,
she says: “Yes, I think I’ll stay, Sebastian. You’re right. Chad is no good for
someone like me,” she says, solemnly.

Sebastian’s
heart beats with joy, knowing that she has chosen him instead of Chad, even if
it is under false pretences.

“I’m glad you finally
see the importance of my role in your life. I’m only here to love and protect
you. Chad is a bad man, a very bad man. He told me so himself, and you should
never encourage him because he wants to harm you. He wants you to pay for
breaking his heart.”

His manipulation
of her is brilliant and he knows it. She hangs on to every word he utters as he
plays on her fears and naivety.

Sebastian’s
ability to methodically calculate every move he makes is a gift he discovered
when he was young. After realising that he couldn’t beat his tormentors with
physical strength, he had to master the art of manipulation in order to make up
for his other weakness. He’s now strong, but his psychological manipulation of
others is his greatest strength. Sticks and stones may break his bones but his
words will pierce deep into the darkest realms of the heart, mind, body and
soul of whomever he so pleases.

Especially
Sierra Malcolm and Chad Perry.

****

Her night is filled with dirty
dreams about Chad. She wants to turn her dreams into reality. Her dreams are so
vivid and explicit that they feel real to her as she sweats and shakes with
lust and desire. Every inch of him feels real inside her as she moans and
screams his name. Unbeknown to Sierra, she is actually sweating and shaking,
moaning and screaming his name in the real world.

She feels his
fingers slowly explore inside her womanhood. She moans and groans with pleasure.

In her dream, Chad
roughly and passionately abuses her body in the most pleasurable ways that she
can imagine. He bites her lips, pulls her hair and squeezes her breasts as he
fucks her to delirium. She screams his name as her nails dig into his skin the
harder he pounds inside her. She has multiple orgasms in her dream.
