Maya's Pov

I wasn't mistaken, his face was burning with pure desire, his gaze was so piercing and burning that I felt he would gobble me up if care was not taken.

*Cough *cough * Awkward *

I flung his finger away speedily as if bitten by a poisonous cobra when I felt Emily's and Eden's heated gaze on me, how could such an innocent gesture become ambiguous in a twinkle of an eye .

I didn't bother explaining knowing it wouldn't help clear the misunderstanding in the air, cause they already have a bias opinion of what happened moreover a clear conscience fears no accusation.

"I-I g-get the first-aid " I incomprehensibly said and rushed to my room. I ran to my room as if being chased by the devil and locked the door tight.

I located the first-aid but stood before my dark brown wood mirror with built-in stand and became stunned at the view.

My face was scarlet red while my cheek continuedly burned with shame as I recalled the scene from moments ago.

This is nothing Maya , you were just trying to be a good Samaritan and not taking advantage of the poor guy.

I tried to assure myself while calming my frantic heart but my view consciously fell on my lips and when I remembered how I suckled on his finger , my cheeks burned once again .

Geez! How am I going to treat him when my emotion's a complete wreck?

I was suddenly startled by a heavy knock on my door and my eyes darted around searching for the first-aid box but I couldn't get to it in time cause an impatient knock resonated a second time.

I frowned and went to answer the constant knocks while trying to guess who would want to bring my door down .

But I never expected to see Nik fucking Spencer in all his glory, his lips curve a smug smirk that spoke volumes , I could clearly see 'Thanks for falling into my trap ' printed all over his face.

I sucked in a sharp breath, internally praying for strength to fight the battle ahead plus the grace not to throttle this guy to death.

"What are you doing here? " I asked, displeasure clearly written on my face.

He frowned upon my cold reception "Isn't it obvious? "

"What is obvious? " I retorted

He smiled, a cute but evil smile that clearly told me this guy was up-to no good.

"You were gone for so long , so I came to check up on you incase you've gotten into an accident judging from your clumsy nature " He subtly concluded and stepped into my room without me letting him in.

I glared lasers at him.

Just like father like daughter, they both have the knack for rendering someone speechless.

"Well as you can see, I'm fine! " I roared back, suddenly wondering if he could ever start a conversation without being rude or sarcastic.

"You're welcome " he teased and walked past me, his body intentionally brushing past my arm yet sending tingles down my body.

I shivered unconsciously, realizing it was dangerous being in close contact with this man.

I stepped back making a mental note not to touch this guy especially now we were the only beings present in this small room.

Suddenly it felt like all the air in this room became thin, I fanned my cheeks with my hands cause it was blazing hot but my eyes couldn't help but wander as I took in the looks of the hot eye candy before me.

Today he wasn't wearing his intimidating business suit but was dressed in a simple dark blue shirt that wasn't exactly flashy but trendy and appealing to the eyes with a white slack that probably cost a lot.

His short sleeves exposed his strong powerful muscles that rippled with strength while my throat dried at once as previous memories of that capable bulging muscles snaked around my waist surge my senses.

"Nice room "

"Huh? "

" Judging from the fact your rooms neat and arranged perfectly with nothing out of place , I can tell you enjoy stability "

"Oh " Was all I said when my gaze fell upon him taking in the appearance of my room.

He's really talking about my room not me.

My eyes darted across my room, how could I not love stability? It was all I could ever wish for since I wasn't raised in one.

"How's your finger? " I asked purposely changing the topic which he noticed but surprisingly, he complied with me.

He raised his finger upward for me to have a better view of it.

"It's all good now thanks to the wonders of your mouth "

"...."

I stared at him dumbfounded but I slowly comforted myself with the fact that he's the world's number one flirt so I shouldn't take it personal.

Not minding the playful smirk on his face nor the fact my heart was about to leap out of my chest , I slowly took his hand in mine and examined the injured finger.

The no-contact rule forgotten at once.

Thankfully it wasn't bleeding anymore and on a closer inspection, it seem he had cleaned the wound before coming in.

"I'll get the first-aid "I murmured and looked away when I noticed the misleading smile on his face.

If one would take a closer look, he looked like a young innocent love - starved teenage who has fallen inlove for the first time but I knew otherwise .

He's just trying to win me over like his other conquered women and I wouldn't be so stupid to be the latest addition to his harem .

Sadly, my body always betrays me.I couldn't understand why I was so attuned to his touch

- to him.

Knowing I was under his scrutinizing gaze , I meticulously picked up the first-aid box from under my bed and headed back to him where temptation number two began.

Because this was my bedroom there wasn't a chair for him to sit on , so he had to sit at the edge of my bed and like an emperor waiting to be served, he sat majestically for me to attend to him .

I cautiously approach the bed eyeing his body language so I could know when to pull out my pepper spray.

Thankfully enough, he behaved as I applied the ointment on his affected finger.

Lucky for him it had being a minor cut, it didn't cut too deep or over a joint nor did his finger feel numb so calling a health provider was not needed.

"When last did you have a tetanus shot?" I asked immersed in my treatment that I didn't notice his face drawing close to mine.

"Twenty years ago? "

"Stop bei...." I froze when I looked up

I had intended reprimanding him for joking with his health when our face suddenly met to the extent we were exchanging breaths making the air hot and a whole lot ambiguous.

Our eyes locked as we regarded each other trying to guess one another's intention until I felt his lips draw closer to mine and I unconsciously closed my eyes awaiting the impact which never came until I felt his lips whisper upon mine.

"Don't worry about my health love, I'm as healthy as a horse "

This simple yet moment destroying confession left me so agitated that I pushed against his chest and sprang up annoyed.

His hysterical laugh exasperated me so much that I threw the sterile bondage at his face and spat

"If you're as healthy as you claim, your highness , why not treat yourself and get your ass out of my fu*king room! "

I cursed exasperated and proceeded to leave after clearing away the first-aid box only for a sudden but tight tug to bring me falling back into an open embrace .

At first I was stunned until I realized I was lying on the body of a certain narcissist who was grinning at my infuriation.

I pushed and shoved against his embrace but his hold was iron clad. I looked up only to become lost in his burning orbs that was staring right back at me as if seeing through my soul.

It's a known fact that Nik's hands down handsome but, up so close he's so damn breathtaking that I totally forgot I was the aggrieved victim and became lost in the moment .

I let out a yelp when I was suddenly flipped over as he pressed his body against mine on my bed.

"What do you think you're doing? " I asked as soon as I broke free from the trance he put me into with his good looks.

"What do you think? " he asked purposely, a malicious smile on his lips as he continued "Especially after the scene earlier ?"

My mind shifted back to the finger suckling scene and I blush at once, isn't he too petty dragging on this incident?

"Remember? " His breath hit my ears making me shiver and he smiled sensing my body reactions.

I gritted my teeth hating the way he had this much control over me but before I could protest, he kissed me dumb.

His warm and soft lips clung to mine like gum as he sucked , teased, bite and push my lips open making a way as his tongue slide into mine creating a notch up in the pleasure chart.

Coming up for air was always short lived cause each time I tried to, his lips would be there to capture mine leaving me with no choice than to bask in this limited ecstasy.

Moans upon moans riled one another as I forgot I still have some people waiting for me in the kitchen.

"I can't get enough from you " Nik murmured as his mouth located my neck imprinting love bites wherever he found likable.

With the state we were into, I was totally sure I would've let him take me there and then until unmistakably I heard a camera shutter sound.

At first I ignored it until I heard the shutter a second time and my eyes snapped open , locking on the door where I saw a dark shadow dash away as soon as our eyes met.

What the fuck?
