Chapter 6 Get off that bed !

That cold glare was prominent in his eyes again, I sure sounded furious. I needed to know what was going on, why Anna would suddenly be spying on me In Newyork, what would I have to do with the Eclipse package delivery and what the hell was going on?

He didn’t respond, I guess I wasn’t loud enough “Please sir, what have I got to do with this?” I repeated, trying my best to sound prudent even with the flare of anger brimming inside of me.

“You’re here because you got involved” his answer, vague and inept. He stood up from the couch, making his way towards me, a glimmer of mischief in those pair of ensnaring light green eyes. I clench my fist to stand my ground, I’m not going to let him charm me into wanting to stay here, not now, not ever.

“All I wanted to do was stay on my job and do it right—not being chased at night like my life depends on it” I yelled “I want to go home” it slips from my lips but I’m not bothered, I truly want nothing more but stay in my small apartment studio.

“What home?” He asked, his face inches away from mine, his cologne seeping through my nostrils and my mind, I had never been this close to feel the weight of such scent. I stand frozen, holding his gaze for as long as I can.

“Lest you forget, they’ve been watching you—I’m not sure why you would want to go back there, besides, you’re mine now” he said subtly, my face trying so hard to stay expressionless but this feeling, his eyes staring down on me, his body looming over mine, such beautifully tainted lips, I pulled back and he followed, cornering me to the wall behind me until my body was etched to the surface.

“I—I’m sure I can spend only a night here” I stuttered, placing my hand on the wall. He didn’t seem to care that this made me feel uneasy but then, there was a flame of excitement ignited in me, although I dared not to show it, I kept my face bland.

“You’ve learnt to control yourself Lily” he smirked, his finger in my chin, lifting my face to look up to him, I hold my gaze against his, his eyes stare down at my lips and back to my eyes, my heart raced once more, a feeling of passion soared through my veins.

His hand went behind my back, pulling my body closer, I whimper at the closeness of our skin, it undeniably feels good, my chests next to his, my body almost consumed by the heat, my face flushed red, my resolve melting at his gaze locked with mine.

“That’s what I love to see” he whispered, leaning in close enough to speak behind my ear, my heart begins to pound, I feel restless yet somewhat ecstatic. My mind losing control of my body. His skin next to my ear, I feel his lip at the tip of it, I try to hold in my gasp, which almost turned a moan.

“Your bath is ready my lord” a voice said from behind, saving me as the air felt thick, it wasn’t musty instead it was filled with worldly passion, one I had never indulged in.

He slowly pulls away, having a look of disappointment and anticipation “Don’t forget Lily—you are no one else’s but mine” there was a tone in his sentence that sent shivers down my spine, his low baritone is what one would call alluring, maybe enchanting but also had danger in itself.

I heave a sigh of relief, finally taking a seat. I wasn’t sure what that was but if it happened again, I couldn’t tell if my resolve would hold on for much longer and maybe that would be the end of me, I’d have to actually become his. Therefore, I’d need to find a way out of here.

Peeking out the opening of the door, there were guards standing right outside, their black suits etched on their skin, the telecoms they wore, I could tell were there to give reports. This CEO is definitely far from just being a business man.

“Miss—” I turned to look. There were two women with their hairs neatly put back in black and white uniforms, one looked quite middle aged, having a little bit of grey hair tucked behind her ear and the other I perceived to be her daughter looked a little bit older than me, they held up a smile as their hands stretched towards the hall “Your bath is ready” they said in unison.

How can people be programmed to say something together at the same time? Are they robots?

I suddenly feel discomfort creeping up my skin but I stand to follow right behind them any way. They lead me through the hallway, it looked vast with unceremonious paintings on the wall, I wasn’t one to love paintings as my whole life involved numbers but I could recognize some pieces as part of high end auctions that cost at least millions of dollars. I hold in my expression of awe at the extravagance of his home. It is to be expected, he is a CEO after all.

I’m led to a room at the end of the hall after walking up the flight of stares, one of the lady uses her key to open the door, stretching her arm forward to signal that I could go inside. The scent of the room hits me hard. It smells so nice, the bed and room color was the same, my favorite, light blue, I smile at the plushies on the bed which look so cute.

“Your bath miss” Another said, showing me the large sized bathroom at the end of the room, this whole bathroom could fit my whole studio inside of it and I would be sure it would have some space left.

“Woah” I gasped. I couldn’t contain my awe for this place. It looked magical.

“Please—feel free to use any of the resources here” the lady said, showing the set of shampoo as well as other body washes next to the mirror. I quickly read the name of the first body wash, it was a Reed body wash, I almost screamed, the amount for that would definitely take care of my feeding for about a month.

“Thank you” I expressed my gratitude before they leaving. They both had a smile on their faces, I could tell they enjoyed my company, I couldn’t blame them, my expressions were in between ‘Oh my God’ and ‘Why would I use this?’

After taking off my clothes, I slipped into the hot bath, letting the warmth of the heat take over my skin which had been stressed for the past few days.

“Mmm—that’s the stuff” I mumbled as the water reaches every part of my skin. After my bath, I wrap the towel around my body and then it dawned on me, I haven’t got anything to change into. And moving out of the room like this would be uncouth, so I look past my better judgement and I check the closet, there’s a night wear, it looks absurd.

A maroon colored laced lingerie was the only dress hung up in the closet “What the hell is this supposed to mean?” I clenched my fist with anger “What does he even take me for?” Angrily, I storm outside to see the ladies right outside my door.

“Miss, do you require something?” The older woman asked, her expression stressed.

“I want to talk to Mister Moretti, now, where’s his room?” I asked. She quickly adheres to what seems like an order and takes me to his room, I don’t knock, my anger wants the message passed successfully in the right manner. I push the door open to find him sitting on a chair next to the window like some king admiring his palace.

“What is the meaning of this?” I questioned angrily, pointing to the gown I had in my hand, I wore my top instead, thankfully I always chose long shirts, I wasn’t here to give him t

he idea that I’d want to touch him or let him touch me.
