Chapter 6 Chapter # 6

After consuming my sweet time, I finally went to see Nathaniel with my wobbly legs and a strange flicker in my heart.

The sensation I was incapable of controlling in his presence, blinded by the winds which compelled me towards him.

"Don't let a man stray you, woman. Control yourself." I muttered.

Reaching at his hideout, I had to maintain the façade I had created.

Holding up my head high in pride for being the significant other of the leader of the number one Mafia Ace, Plague Doctor.

I entered and saw none other than Amanda, his P.A, sitting on the armrest on Nathaniel's chair, her hand around his shoulder and it pricked me.

Smirking at me while I was fuming with the urge to cease her breaths right here and now as he was lost in his phone, unaware of the fact I was right in front of him.

Narrowing my eyes, I cleared my throat to get their attention.

"I would appreciate it if you get away from him, Amanda." I said coldly, almost furiously.

"Why? Boss doesn't-"

Her hand proceeded to his neck but he removed it and cut her off dominantly.

“Didn’t you hear what she said, Amanda? Off,”

“But-”

"Leave. All of you." Nathaniel ordered, putting his phone down.

Finally meeting my unnerving orbs with his stern ones with an impish smirk.

"Yes, Boss." She frowned and left with everyone, leaving us alone in his office.

"Is that why you called me here? To see another woman seducing you?"

My voice came out poised with rage but it only acted as a source of amusement for him.

"Did it pinch you, Doll? Because I wanted it to." He asked, leaning back, putting his one leg over the other, toying with my emotions.

"What would you do if I did the same with another man?"

"Simple," He smirked darkly.

Making his way to me, lifting my chin with his index finger to meet his seductive gaze.

"I would kill the guy."

Shivering up by his reply, I looked away but he smirked wider, forcing me to maintain eye contact.

"Dear, don't try to break eye contact with me again." He warned, closing the distance between us.

"I love to see this flush in your eyes."

Securing his arm around my waist, my heart rate enhanced when his hands held me possessively.

"And if you are talking about Amanda, that paltry woman shouldn't bother you." He hummed, implanting a brief kiss on my neck.

"No one can take your place. You are my choice." He whispered, constricting my breaths with his action as I pressed my palm over his chest.

My very soul put effort into forging a frontage to refrain myself from losing in his charm but to no avail, especially not when he pressed me harder into him.

"If it was you, you would probably be in my laps and lost in the depth of pleasure."

With a husky laugh, he intoxicated me by sucking the spot he kissed.

"Probably moaning my name too."

Hand gripping my skin as his possession and even after denial resisting his touch was not in my capabilities.

"D-Don't."

Moaning slightly, I tried to part away from him to not melt into the swaying power.

"Ah, you and your reactions."

Chuckling huskily, he finally let go of me as I moved back instantly, hugging my sides with heated cheeks and a burning body under the temptation of his touch.

"Is t-that why you called me here?" I asked, trying to sound composed but couldn't.

"If you want to, I don't mind taking you right on this table." He smirked, folding his arms.

"I told you, I need time. But, if that is what you want, I am leaving," I mumbled, struggling to control my thumping heartbeats, turning to leave but he held my wrist.

"Relax. I told you, I wanted to know you."

"You have known me for years."

Him and I went to the same high school, after that incident of Valencia's death, Nathaniel came here and I have known him since then.

"My memories are vague, I don't remember complimenting your eyes ever." He whispered seriously but it meant much more than that.

He loved my eyes but now they mean nothing.

"Because you never did." I lied.

My heart hurts saying this but it was better if we won't bring the past into this.

"I still don't know what your favorite color is." He shrugged, leaning back.

"Blue." I replied coldly, taking a seat, rolling my eyes from him.

"We haven't been on our honeymoon either- Ah well, what's the point of it when I can't even enjoy it?" He sighed, faking sadness, pinching the bridge of his nose.

“Are you done?” I frowned.

"Well, do you want a gelato?" He offered, smiling faintly.

"Sure." I sighed in return, not knowing whether I should trust his smile or not.

"Cool, come." He called, offering me his hand.

Taking it hesitantly, a gasp escaped my lips when he pulled me closer, placing his hand on my shoulder tenderly.

"What? I don't always touch to tease you."

The warmth of his hand froze my body, tightening my vocal cord.

I was hesitant about leaving with him but things went quite well thanks to the lack of conversation I had with him which gave me time to register my breaths.

"Which one?"

"Tiramisu."

He got me a tiramisu and himself a pistachio flavored gelato.

Things seemed nonchalant from outside but from inside, I could feel an affliction was engraved in my soul and that sting was my purpose.

I must get to work when Father returns. I couldn’t even enjoy two moments with him, things would go downhill eventually.
