His seductive eyes were killing her already and she couldn't resist the invitation, not that she wanted to resist. She followed him to his room silently all tight-lipped. She knew they had to be discreet in office. She didn't want to be identified as the girl who grew up on the ladder by flirting with her boss.

"Is he going to kiss me again?"

"Oh boy!!! Seven minutes. Can I even breathe?"

"You are done for the day Akira".

"He smells nice today. Did he change the perfume?"

"Jeez Akira, think straight and walk straight".

Her curious mind was laced with zillions of questions and thoughts as she followed him.

The moment they entered his office, Akira's heartbeat started running faster and faster because of all the anticipation. His seductive eyes continued looking at her like they wanted to drink her like a bottle of potion. She felt like she would choke on her spit anytime. His eyes and his gaze was enough to unnerve her.

She was still standing near the door after entering his office. She was nervous, not because she didn't trust him but because she didn't trust herself when she was with him. Because she knew that he had the capacity to draw away all her power and crumble her self-restraint.

He walked towards her, reducing the gap between them. His face was so close to hers that she could feel the heat emanating from it. Her eyes looked at him filled with questions, desire, longing and anticipation. He responded to her silent demands and moved even closer. His movements were slow and stealthy like he wanted to torture her deliberately. Even without touching her, just his mere proximity was enough to create turbulence within her.

He then raised his hand and locked the door.

CLICK.

She heard the click on the door as he latched it and her heart fluttered.

"I have seven minutes to be with you", his words started echoing inside her. He leaned onto her and delicately whispered into her ears,

"I do not like getting disturbed when I am working on something important".

Then he retracted himself to observe her reaction and boy, he loved doing that.

She melted instantly and leaned back on the door to take support and closed her eyes. She was a pure delight to watch and all that he wanted was to devour her.

He was pleased to see her standing there with all her devotion towards him, waiting for him to agitate her. His lips moved to form a brief smile. He wanted to agitate her in every possible way, but today he wanted to try something different.

He went to his desk silently and opened his laptop while his eyes were still fixated on her.

"We just have 5 minutes left. If you are going to lean on the door and sleep the whole time then I m helpless out here", he said.

She opened her eyes suddenly after hearing his voice.

"What are you doing there?", she asked unable to understand or comprehend what just happened. In her head, she was about to be kissed but this guy was miles and miles away from her.

"What do you mean by what I m doing here?", Raymond asked acting all coy.

"You said you wanted to be with me", she asked him with all frankness.

"Yeah because we have an important assignment to discuss", he said and pointed at his laptop.

"You called me for discussing an assignment?", she asked in disbelief.

"Why are you repeating my answer as a question?", Raymond asked and looked at her with a smug smile.

She immediately gathered herself.

"Jeez Akira, what an amazing way to show him how stupid you are."

"My dear mind are you hibernating? Ugghhh..."

She cursed herself for making a fool out of herself and walked towards his desk.

"Now can we discuss?", he asked.

"Yeah", she said and stood next to him to be able to see what he wanted to show in his laptop.

"Come closer, you will have a better view", he said and dragged her a bit closer by holding her waist.

"Stop looking at me and look at the screen", Raymond said to her amusingly.

"Hmm...", she said.

"This is my final stage work related to augmentation of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality into our gaming model. Since the new generation is all about AR and VR, we need to support it in our game", he said with his hand still lying casually on her waist.

"Raymond, can you?", she said and stopped midway.

"What?", he asked a bit irritatedly for being interrupted.

"Can you move your hand away?", she asked.

"Why? Does it bother you or Do you not like it?", he asked.

"It doesn't let me think properly", she spoke softly and kept looking at the screen.

"I didn't know about that", he said and removed his hand and looked at his watch.

They just had four minutes left!!!

"This is a classified part of our project as of now but will be openly revealed at the gaming forum. So till that time, it needs to be under the hood. Do you get that?", he asked.

"Hmm... But why are you sharing this with me?", she asked.

"Because you have an internship thesis and project to complete I guess for your final dissertation in college? And I guess this will help you fetch a good grade", he said.

"Oh ok ok. Thanks for that", she replied.

In her head, she understood that in office he was just her boss and nothing more. All the bubbles of hopes had vanished by now.

"So go through slide number 27 - 41. They have material related to your domain. If you have any questions then you can come and ask me in PRIVATE. I will be happy to help you", he said.

She nodded and he looked at her before emailing the slides to her.

He then looked at his watch. He had precisely 50 seconds left on the clock.

"Now that we are done, may I know why you were sleeping inside my office in broad daylight and that too in front of me, a few minutes back?", he asked even though he knew the answer himself.

Her eyebrows were raised and lines of tension started forming on her forehead.

"Why he has to ask such complicated questions?", she thought to herself but didn't say anything.

He paused and then placed his hand on her waist again and then swiftly pulled her, making her lean with the support of the table. He grazed his thumb over her lower lip which was all glossy since morning and had definitely caught his attention.

"I have ways to wake you up, but right now I am needed somewhere else. So if you would just excuse me".

He said and walked out of the room with his laptop but before that he licked his thumb which had her gloss all over it.

Boy he knew how to play.
