Chapter 5 - For her

Elle was sitting at her desk making notes, she saw a nicely dressed woman 

walk past her door. The secretary let her in so she must know who she was.

She felt jealous immediately. The woman would only be going to see Nate 

and he was the only other person on the floor. She was itching to get up and 

go see what she was up to. Was she and old girlfriend? The Ex-wife?

Just then her intercom sounded.

'Elle honey, come here a minute."

"On my way."

Elle gathered herself together and headed to Nate's office. She pushed the 

door and tried hard to put a smile on her face. For some reason she was 

nervous.

As she approached the two people, Nate smiled at her and held out his hand.

"Elle, this is my ex-wife Mandy. Mandy, this is my girlfriend and VP of Naton."

Elle gasped.

"Hello Elle, you look familiar, not sure where I would have seen you before 

though, nice to meet you."

"She used to dance at Hydra Elite." Nate said proudly.

Mandy's eyes opened wide as full recognition set in.

"Ah, yes, the girl who made men want to lick the floor under her feet."

Nate laughed.

"Nate don't be cheeky; she is beautiful with a figure to die for."

"Yes, and I would do anything for her."

Elle was confused.

"Nate…" Elle didn't want Mandy to feel bad.

Mandy looked at Elle's face and giggled.

"I'm glad he has you. Nate and I weren't suited, we always knew that, and I 

guess we needed something that the other couldn't provide. We are good 

now. He is helping me with my parents and my baby."

"Oh! Congrats." Elle said genuinely. 

"Thank you. Nate, I have to get going, my flight leaves in a few hours, I don't 

think we will see each other again but I will send photos and videos if that's 

okay."

"That's fine. Good luck with everything and if you do decide to tell him, you

have my approval."

"Thank you. Elle keep him in line, he tends to want his own way." She stood 

up and much to Elle's surprise, Mandy hugged her and whispered in her ear.

"He loves you, hold on to that." Then Mandy left and closed the door.

"You made up?"

"Yep, didn't need bad blood between us and she is carrying my family, so 

until Jeff steps up, the child will not go hungry."

Elle walked over to Nate and kissed him on the lips. She found herself in his 

lap as usual. As they kissed passionately, things began to get hot and heavy. 

Within minutes Nate was ready to throw her on his desk but he didn't want 

to be rough with her again, so he pulled his lips away from hers and tried to 

catch his breath.

"The things I want to do to you Elle."

"I can't wait."

"Come on, we have work to do."

Elle laughed and left his office.

Over the next few weeks Elle got into motion with Naton Corp. Nate had 

held a meeting at the end of her first week, to formally introduce her to the 

staff. 

"Good morning, everyone, Jeff Tondale is no longer Vice President here at 

Naton Corp, he is no longer an employee and must not be allowed into the 

building under any circumstances. To my left is our new Vice President –

Everleigh James. She will also be head of the Marketing Department. At 

this time, she will say a few words and then it's back to work. Everleigh."

"Thank you Mr. Tondale, it's a great pleasure to be here, I know I'm new and 

it will take a while to get to know all of you, so go easy on me for now. I 

promise I will do my best to keep with the success that Naton Corp has seen 

over the last ten years and to push the views and goals that are a staple to 

the company. Thank you for taking the time to be here and have a wonderful 

day." 

Elle finished with a gentle smile. She noticed a few people looked at her with 

scorn. She could hear a few whispers as well, they were not good at all. The 

butterflies in her tummy grew to the size of hippos. Nate glanced around at 

everyone, noting expressions. He was pissed.

"Thank you Everleigh. Come with me to my office, so we can go over the 

next project and what is expected of us for the next few weeks."

"Yes sir." Elle replied softly.

When they got to their floor, Nate sighed as he saw how dejected Elle was. 

He watched her walk to the window to take in one of the views of the South 

Coast.

"Elle honey."

When she turned, she said nothing but the tears running down her face 

spoke volumes.

"Come here." Nate said in a serious tone, opening his arms.

She did as he commanded, and she sat on his lap. She loved when he did 

this, it made her feel loved and cherished.

"What did you hear?"

"Someone said I was a fat bitch, another one said if I stood on the stage any 

longer it would collapse. They don't know me Nate, why would they say such 

things, especially when I can fire their ass?" She quickly covered her mouth.

Nate laughed.

"You have my permission." Nate said, looking into her eyes and wishing she 

was naked. He loved touching her.

"Oh, I couldn't do that."

"Uh yes you can, you are the only one who has the power to fire anyone 

under you and everyone here is under you. Don't let anyone disrespect you 

or your position. You are a brilliant, sexy, humble, talented woman, my 

woman. If you believe I need to intervene, call me, other than that, fire their 

ass."

Elle shifted a bit when the usual thing happened. They hadn't made love 

since the first time, and she was beginning to think he was tired of her 

already.

"Stop that."

She wiggled.

"Elle…" Nate warned.

"I miss your touch Nate, have I done something wrong that you don't… well 

ya know."

"I'm giving your body time to heal, I was a bit rough with you that day."

"Oh. Is being rough a bad thing?"

"I don't want to hurt you or make you think I need to hurt you to feel pleasure. 

I got carried away. I will never get tired of you Elle. What did I say about 

doubting me?"

"Sorry, habit. I'm self-conscious around you. You are sexy, commanding, 

women drool when you smile. I want to be the woman you desire, the only 

one. I don't think I could handle it if you cheated on me Nate."

"I would let you go before I do that honey. I know what that feels like, but I 

should say though, I feel the same way when it comes to you. My heart 

would be crushed if you cheated."

"I need you now Nate." She whispered as she kissed his cheek.

"As you wish."

A cell phone was ringing. Elle was closest and she didn't check to see whose 

phone she picked up.

"Hello?" Elle answered sleepily and accidentally pressed the speaker phone 

button.

"Hey Elle, you and Nate are late for your meeting with the department 

heads." Myk's voice came over loud and clear. She wasn't even surprised 

that Elle answered Nate's phone. She grinned.

"Crap, tell them give me fifteen minutes, I have um ah, something to sort 

out." Nate responded as he sat up on the bed.

"Okay boss." Myk ended the call laughing. Since Nate had brought Elle into 

his world, he smiled more, his demeanour was more likeable. She knew they 

were already having sex, or at least getting there. Elle came to work, and a 

hickey was peeking out from under her collar and Myk had given her some 

powder to hide it. Myk was glad for Nate, he was never the player type, and

he normally chose women who had pride in themselves, which confused her 

when he married Mandy. God she hated that woman but Elle, she was sweet 

from hair to the soles of her feet. Always a kind word, always sharing 

pleasantries. She was as genuine as ever.

Myk went back to the board room and notified the heads that Nate would be 

another twenty minutes and to please be patient.

One man whispered… "Have you seen the new VP and Head of Marketing? 

I would take a crack at her; she has an ass that goes on for years."

"Yeah, did you see those breasts? God a man could get lost in them for 

months." Another man replied.

Myk cleared her throat.

"I would suggest gentlemen, you keep those thoughts to yourself. Mr.

Tondale holds Ms. James in high regard and if he heard you speaking like 

that about her, it would not end well for you."

"Oh come on Myk, we are just poking fun. She is actually a brilliant woman 

with great ideas, but you cannot ignore how she looks."

"I am not blind Cyrus but again, keep that to yourself." Myk walked away 

and left the room. She grinned at the older men, they were right about Elle 

but if the Boss heard them, he would discontinue any relationship with them 

– for her.
