Episode 9

Gael didn't wake up excited to go to work, but he was determined, today was the day he would ask Mr. Ravier about the health insurance plan for his mother.

He arrived at work early and immediately placed a coffee on Mr. Valente's desk. Gael was focused, reviewing Mr. Valente's schedule when the latter stepped out of the elevator.

Gael couldn't resist glancing at his boss, he was very handsome, in a black suit that fit perfectly on Ravier's strong, defined body. However, he quickly averted his gaze when it reached Ravier's face, who seemed to have swallowed a sour lemon for breakfast.

He passed Gael like a gust of wind and didn't even wish him a good morning. Gael had hoped he would at least be polite, but apparently, it was asking too much from the ill-mannered Mr. Valente.

As soon as Ravier passed him, Gael snapped back to reality and immediately stood up, following him to review the day's agenda.

"Good morning, Mr. Valente!"

Gael said politely, he wouldn't do the same as Ravier had done to him. However, his boss seemed determined to give him a bad day, as he didn't respond, only giving him a grumpy look. He then proceeded to list each of the appointments he had on the agenda; he felt Mr. Valente was avoiding looking at him but didn't know why.

Ravier couldn't even look at Gael, he couldn't believe what had happened, both the day before and that morning. He had peaked twice thinking about his assistant, and it was truly worrying him.

It wasn't helping to have Gael's voice in his head, even if he was just reciting the day's appointments.

"Stop!"

Gael fell silent immediately, he had no idea what he had done wrong now.

"You can go, I'm going to prepare for the meeting with..."

"The first meeting is with the board of directors, sir."

"Leave me alone."

Scoffing, Gael headed for the office door, he hadn't even noticed when Ravier had stood up, only becoming aware of his boss's presence in front of him when he bumped into him.

"Did you scoff at me?"

Gael opened his mouth, unsure of what to say, he hadn't realized he had done it so loudly.

"I... actually, I was hoping to ask about my mother's health insurance."

"Everything has been sorted out with HR, go there and take care of it. But, next time you scoff at me, there will be consequences."

Gael listened in disbelief, his mind refusing to accept the meaning he was ascribing to those words.

Ravier took a deep breath and tried to control himself, he didn't understand his own reactions and behavior.

After leaving the office, he went straight to the human resources department. Everything was straightforward there, and he left with all the necessary documents and information to proceed with his mother's treatment. Of course, there would be new consultations and exams, but the important thing was that his mother would have her treatment.

As soon as he returned to his desk, Gael observed Mr. Valente leaving his office, and he knew, because he had memorized his entire agenda, that he had a meeting now and that he needed to accompany him.

He adopted a professional demeanor; Ravier already had an icy expression, so it wasn't difficult. After that, the meeting was so long and tiring that everything that had happened up to that point vanished from Gael's mind, until the moment he laid his head on the pillow.

There, he struggled to fall asleep, and when he did, he ended up dreaming about his boss. It wasn't a simple dream, with Ravier giving him those biting looks and him lowering his head.

There, in his dream, he stood up to Ravier and, on top of that, they got into a hand-to-hand fight.

It was a very serious fight, and Gael was winning, he was giving Ravier a real beating. When suddenly, the tables turned, and quickly Ravier had Gael pinned to the ground.

Gael tried in every way to break free from Ravier's grip, but he only seemed to get more trapped.

Until he was completely pinned down and Ravier whispered in his ear:

"I am a wolf, little sheep, and I'm going to eat you."

Gael knew full well that it was a dream, but it felt so real, and what unfolded from that point was that he and Ravier remained intertwined, but in a way entirely opposite to what they had been in the dream until then.

Gael woke up with a dry throat and a desperation that culminated in a climax. He couldn't remember the last time he woke up like that.

He chose to go to the bathroom, take a shower to cleanse himself of what he had done, and head to work without thinking about his night.

What Gael didn't know was that on the other side of town, in a luxurious penthouse, someone else had also dreamed of him. A dream as hot as the one he had.

Ravier woke up sweating and panting into the void, he had come right there, between his sheets. After calming down, he punched the bed several times.

He didn't know why this man kept invading his mind, whether he was asleep or awake.

He knew he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, so he got up and went for his daily workout.

When they got to the sparring part of the training, the instructor had to call it quits, because Ravier was going too hard that morning, he was like a machine.

Ravier took off his gloves and stormed out, he had been doing the workout to calm down and clear his mind, but Gael was still there.

As he reached his apartment door, he saw his fiancee, Felicit, just like the day before, at his doorstep.

He turned his back on her and headed towards the back door.
