With a smile on her face, she put a foot forward as she walked towards him before going to sit by him on the bed. “Why are you drooling? It’s just a lady in your room after all” she said with a wink on her face as she put her hand on his shoulder before moving her face closer to his. “Won’t you say good morning?” She asked in a voice as low as the height of a bead on the floor
He pulled her by the waist closer to himself before rolling her on the bed so he was on top of her and she could feel her heart begin to race very fast. She gulped as she stared at his face, it was so close to hers and even though he’d just gotten out of bed, he still smelt so good.
He tucked her wet hair behind her ear as he stared at her face with a smile. He could feel her heart race and beat so quickly and it made him feel so good. He bent and placed a soft kiss on her slightly exposed cleavage.
“Trying to play miss seductress aren’t you?” He asked as he gave a side smile while his gaze didn’t break from hers and a certain heat was starting to emanate from within her.
This had to be the first time a man was this close to her and at that, he was on top of her. He chuckled, “Wanna he on top?” He asked her softly in her ears and she closed her eyes.
How was she the seductress when she was clearly at the receiving end?
She shook her head slowly, “No, I… I..”
“You what?” He asked her slowly as he bit her ear in a tender way that made her grab on to the sheets for some sort of help.
“I… I want to go get dressed” she told him and pushed him off her body and just as she made to get off the bed, he tried to stop her by holding on to her towel but she didn’t care, she took the towel off and stood before him but he’d already closed his eyes and she smiled to herself, she was in control again.
“What’s wrong? Have you suddenly become shy?” She asked him with a naughty smirk on her face.
He chuckled, “shy? You wish” he told her and on opening his eyes, they widened in shock and she immediately burst into laughter. “What the heck?” He asked as he got off the bed.
“What did you think huh? Did you really think I’d be undressed and take off my towel?” She asked as she continued to laugh and he stared at her while she laughed, he’d become trapped in her smile again and he couldn’t do a thing about it.
“What are you doing to me Kathryn?” He asked himself as he continued to stare at her. No woman had ever had this sort of effect of him yet she had this much on him and with what, her smile. Her smile, it did things to him.
After her cheeks had started to hurt from laughing a lot, she stopped laughing. “Okay then, I’m going to make breakfast ” she told him and made to leave when he called her back.
“When do you think we should leave this place?” He asked her and she turned to him.
“Actually, I don’t have the answer to that right now because you’re currently not hundred percent fine so you have to get better before we could leave ” she told him and he inhaled deeply.
“That’s where you’re wrong madam. I am a mafia lord, I don’t ever need to recover before I get back to work. We’re leaving here tomorrow and that’s final” he told her and she turned back to him. She put her hand in the pocket of her mini trouser and walked to him.
“You’re a mafia lord, keep that for yourself but I’m your guard, it’s my responsibility to take care of you and you’re not yet fine so I’m not going to let you go back to any sort of work when you’re not better… got it?” She asked him as she stared at him.
“Do you know how much money I’m losing by being here? I’m losing millions and the fear and respect people have for me is being lowered as they feel I’m being a chicken. Besides, I have to make the fool that dared to sell my company’s share pay for what he’s done and…” before he could complete his stament, Kathryn folded her hands and pleaded.
“Please don’t. I have assured that I’ll handle him haven’t I? Let me handle him, please don’t do anything to him” she pleaded and he stared at her.
“You have being acting very strange since that man was almost killed. Is there anything I should know?” Daniel asked as he stared at her, he was trying to get some piece of information from her.
“The… there’s nothing to know” she said and made to leave when he held her back and pulled her closer to himself.
“You’re stuttering? Kathryn Rivera, bravest of all time is stuttering? Now I know that there’s something I need to know. You even took a bullet for him and you say there’s nothing to know? Even if I’m not your friend, boyfriend or any of that, as your boss, I think I have the right to know of certain things that are going on in your life don’t I?” He asked as he stared at her, folding his hands across his chest.
She stared at him, the secret wasn’t something he was supposed to know, not now at least. “I’m not in the mood to discuss any of this. All you need to know is that there’s nothing going on and more importantly, you’re not leaving this place ” she said and made to leave when he spoke again.
“Do you have any alterior motives that I don’t know of yet?” He asked her and she turned.
“Even if I did, why would I tell you?” She asked and he closed his eyes before opening them again.
“Well then, don’t tell me. I’ll find out myself ” he said as he stared at her in a suspicious manner and she stared at gim, trying to remain as brave as possible.
“I’ll like to see you try” she told him and left.
Daniel stared at her, he knew she was a badass girl but he’d never seen this side of her before and if she was the girl that was making him think crazy things, he had to be sure that her tracks were clean. He went to the bedside and took the telephone before dialing a number.
“Who is it? Speak” the person at the other end of the call spoke and Daniel rolled his eyes.
“Shut up Eduardo and listen to what I have to say” Daniel said coldly.
“Boss, where are you? We’ve been so worried about you and do you know that the Anderson jewelers have managed to get a percentage closer to you in the leaderboards?” The person spoke and Daniel’s eyes widened in shock.
“Anderson jewelers? How is this even possible?” He asked
“Did you forget sir? We were supposed to bag the million dollar deal with Sukrok dealers but since you weren’t available for the meeting, Anderson jewelers got it and now, they are getting closer to you. Where are you? I need to come pick you up or else you’ll suffer a great loss” Eduardo said.
“Forget about me, make a thorough background check on Kathryn… I’m sure she’s up to something ” he told Eduardo.
“Kathryn? Boss, we know lots of Kathryns.. which are you talking about?” Eduardo asked
“Kathryn Rivera… I need to know everything there is to know about her ” he said
“Okay boss… you do know that this involves danger right? We might have to hurt her in the process ”
Daniel inhaled deeply, was he willing to hurt Kathryn to get to the root of all this? He was in love with her but he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself if he found out something that was supposed to have been told to him but didn’t want to listen because he was in love.
“One percent, you can’t hurt her more than that or else in would kill you” he said and hung up.
If this was the only way to get to know the truth about Kathryn, he was willing to do it. Even if it meant hurting her.
