Diana’s POV
My jaws dropped at the interior designs and spaciousness of the mall. It was undoubtedly breathtaking and attractive.
It felt like a dream than a reality. Haemes was a classy mall and it housed some of the biggest brands on the continent who had their stores inside it.
So many international personalities like artists, actors, actresses, influencers, rich business men, women and different popular people came there to shop.
The multitude of crowd was just amazing.
So many eyes were fixed on Branden and I as we walked together towards one of the largest stores in the mall. Our hands were interlocked and I became very nervous.
An inkling feeling of anxiety rushed through my blood like a stream. Too many eyes were on me, I was very uncomfortable because I wasn’t used to it and to top it up billionaire Branden held me so firmly.
Although I knew they had their eyes on us because of Branden; a wealthy populous business tycoon whose empire spreads across the country.
Anyone would die to be where I am right now so why should I have feel a rush of anxiety while walking side to side with one of the wealthiest men of my time.
I shrugged off the thoughts and began to feed myself with courage and boldness because I walked side by side with greatness so I shouldn’t have anxiety.
I raised my head up and walked confidently into one of the biggest stores in the mall; Luxembourg magasins.
Luxembourg was the biggest french store in the mall and one of the biggest brands on earth. The store was very empty and at the looks of it It was easy to detect that Branden had specially reserved the store for two us that evening. No one was allowed to shop at the store at that particular moment except two of us.
Classic rich Branden! he doesn’t want to shop in the midst of commoners or people he isn’t bigger than.
“Welcome sir…. welcome ma” a blonde female staff from the store greeted respectfully as she ambled her way towards us
She took a bow and her warm smile spread her cheeks apart. Her eyes were stationary on Branden but I chose to overlook it.
“Thank you” Branden said just before moving into the clothing section in the store.
The staff’s eyes began to examine Branden’s bodily figure and his looks.
Branden took a sit and watched me walk around the store to select dresses of my choice.
“Sir is there anything you need, I promise to make your stay here worth it” the staff’s voice softened and her eyes began another series of examination on Branden, I got irritated immediately.
What the hell is this bitch trying to do? It’s so disrespectful of her to stylishly flirt with my man when I’m standing right here.
Doesn’t she have a sense of remorse or guilt for disregarding my presence?
“We are fine!” I walked over to Branden and placed my hand on his shoulder while giving her a deadly glare.
“Yes ma” she stuttered right before moving away from us.
Branden gave a displeased look showing he wasn’t satisfied with what I did.
“What? She was obviously flirting with you and she just couldn’t keep her eyes off your body”
“She was just been nice”
“Nice? You call ‘I promise to make your stay here worth it’ just been nice? and all the looks she was giving you? How was she going to make your stay here worth it? by sucking you off or riding…”
Shit!
Branden dragged me and held me captive, his grip on me almost made me jump out of my skin, my heart skipped a bit, I became nervous and frightened because it was unexpected.
“No one else asides you has the right to suck or ride me, so you do you have to worry about that all the time?” he whispered slowly into my ear and shivers went down my spine.
“We are in public” I stuttered with the last breath I had in me.
“We are alone…. now go and put on something sexy for me” he released me out of his embrace and went back to sit.
Recovering from the shock I began to pant and recover my breath while walking back towards the dress section.
I walked back to the clothing section for dresses and began to carefully go through them.
Wow! most dresses her costs more than a thousand dollars but I must admit that they are stunning.
I selected my favourites and rushed into the dressing room to test them on.
I slid into one of the dresses, walked out of the dressing room and took a pose in front of Branden like a model.
He gave a not-so-impressed look and a nod depicting his dissatisfaction.
“Hmm… I don’t like this but it’s ok, wear that gold dress I saw you pick” he said.
I walked back into the dressing room and tried to put on the gold stretchy sequenced dress but unfortunately it was quite difficult to wear.
I spent minutes trying to put it on and when I finally did I saw a huge muscular shadow over me.
“What’s the delay? You don’t like the dress or do you prefer to be on your panties instead? You know I won’t hesitate to take the dress off you” his sensual whispers caused goosebumps rolled across my skin.
My body heated and boiled with anticipation, his words sexually aroused me and my brain began to print out pictures of what he would do to me right there in the dressing room.
I closed my eyes and took a deep. Not knowing when my thoughts made me seem like toey as roman sandal.
“You said I wasn’t much of a gentleman, if I wasn’t then I’d have you right now and right here but I won’t because I’m a gentleman” his last whispers weakened my knees and I fell to the couch immediately he left.
God! I feel like a mess. How does Branden’s words arouse me so easily.
I walked out of the dressing after pulling myself together.
“I love this… you look sexy, let’s go”
“Like this?” I questioned.
“Yes.. c’mon”
He payed the store for the dresses I picked and soon we were out of the store and back to the huge mall.
“Let’s get you some accessories” he held me by the hand and took me to a jewelry store.
After the selection of bags, earrings, necklaces, ankles and bracelets we walked out of the mall and back into the car.
Branden ignited the engine back to life and drove off. We were on the road back home, I knew deep inside me I wasn’t going to come back home so I picked up my phone and sent Jane a text telling her I won’t come home tonight.
“Tell me about your exes”
He stared at me for a second before completely setting his eyes back on the road.
“Why are you….?”
“I’m curious”
He smirked while maneuvering the steering wheel.
“I don’t have any exes” he replied plainly, his face was hard and unreadable. I couldn’t tell if he took my question offensive or not but I couldn’t hide my curiosity.
“So you’ve never been with a woman before?” I couldn’t stop my curiosity from taking charge of my mouth.
“I have… with a lot of women. I didn’t date any of them we just fucked and that was the only the thing we shared”
I could sense his discomfort after saying that but I knew I needed to ask because I’ve been with him for months and I never bothered to ask
“So you’ve never fallen in love before?” I stared at him.
“I have… but I couldn’t date her because if I did I don’t think my position and my name would still be up” his voice deepened and his head was still set on the road
“Why?” I questioned more.
“She’s a stripper”
“Oh wow… so you mean I’m the second person you fell in love with?” i began to regret asking.
“Yeah”
I blushed and hid the smile my already occuring smile.
“What makes you think I’m not a stripper?”
“You don’t look, act or even talk like one”
“What if I told you I was one” I placed my hands on his chest and gave him a seductive look.
He grinned malevolently and held my hands very tight. My heart seized for a minute.
“Don’t tempt me to park this car somewhere and strip you” he released my hands and continued to maneuver the steering.
