Maya's Pov

I was breathing raggedly as if I ran a marathon, it was so deep and loud that I wondered if he could hear my breathing.

Pushed against the wall, Niklaus leaned over me with brooding eyes while his hot breath blew on my neck.

I looked up and my throat dried up, I had not taken time to appreciate his appearance earlier, but right now with his face so close to mine, I realized how much he put into dressing up for tonight.

He was wearing a blue silk dinner jacket with black shawl collar and combined with a black trousers.

Though Niklaus's handsomeness was quite a showstopper, the stylist did apply light makeup on him to highlight his breathtaking features.

His mass of hair was pulled into a quiff and I felt the need to run my hands through his hair, tousling and messing it up to my contentment.

"So what do you say " His deep baritone murmured into my ears, sending tingles down my spine.

I gasped when he nibbled on my ears and placed his hands on either side of me against the wall.

"I'm sorry, let's forget about this alright " came my earnest plea, I seriously couldn't fight against Niklaus.

Just these few advances already but I could feel my control slipping away and can't tell how long I'll last without giving in to his seduction.

He chuckled against my skin making me shiver before he moved away, lifted my chin until our eyes were on the same level and said,

"You should know by now I bear grudges a lot "

"I know but - "

The rest of my word was silenced with a short kiss that shockingly left me craving for more.

" Where did he touch you?! " he repeated, this time a lot firmer.

The change in his tone was a warning, he was slowly losing his patience and I had no choice than to blurt out the truth.

" My thigh " I breathed " He touched my thigh " I confessed finally.

His eyes darkened and I swallowed, he really wasn't letting me escape this one.

Suddenly he grabbed my wrist and held them above my head with one hand and pressed his body so close to mine that I could feel his toned muscles.

" Did you like it? " He inquired grimly, looking me straight in the eyes.

My mouth dropped open, was he seriously asking me that? Doesn't he trust….wait a minute.

I chuckled inwardly, Niklaus was insecure? The world greatest player was jealous and uncomfortable, thinking I would prefer his cousin over him.

Suddenly an idea crossed my mind, what if I played with him for a while? Ruffle his feathers a bit, that would be exciting.

My heart pounding, I leaned in slowly and kissed my way up his neck and said into his ears " What if I liked it? "

I felt him stiffen and my brow rose, was he seriously buying that? Anyway, the look on his face was priceless so I continued.

" What would you do if I told you I liked the way he - "

The rest of my words died off the moment his hands grabbed my thigh and grind against me.

I threw my hand back and moaned, my body shivery with excitement but he wasn't done.

He pulled my head back by the hair, exposing my neck to him while his other hand caressed up my thigh, purposely avoiding that wet center.

His other hand laced around my waist pressing me up against his hard, hot and lean body .

I let out a sharp gasp the moment his lips brushed against my neck and he murmured " I bet he didn't make you feel this way , did he? "

"No, he didn't " came my raspy reply, my body was being overwhelmed with so much sensation making it hard to think.

Then his hand began to move towards my centre and he tugged my panties to the side and worked between my legs eliciting a cry of pleasure from me.

"Oh my God Niklaus " I cried and arch my back as my inside clenched and my legs almost gave out had he not held me.

He kissed me, swallowing my moans as his hands worked faster and faster, riling my body with pleasure and just when I was close to coming, he stopped.

Niklaus pulled away leaving me with a bewildered look on my face and unsatiated, I've never felt so sexually frustrated until now.

Chest heaving,I summoned the courage to ask "Why did you stop? "

He answered blandly "Since you love Eden so much, go to him "

Being flabbergasted was an understatement, I was exasperated, can't he tell when I'm fooling with him?

"Damn you Niklaus, can't you - "

"I'll go for Tina since you're going for Eden "

I couldn't tell if it was a joke or not - no I didn't care if he was serious or joking, cause I grabbed the front of his jacket, stood on tiptoes and said to him " You ain't going anywhere, not on my watch "

Then I crashed my lips on his, kissing him with every ounce of anger and frustration in me.

I was never possessive but I couldn't help but feel my blood boil when I heard him mention the name "Tina " . I didn't want Niklaus anywhere near her especially with that scene from earlier, so I had to mark my territory.

Though I felt guilty, thinking I stole Niklaus from her but after the character she displayed tonight ? To hell with that guilt.

Though every lady wished for a handsome partner, Nik's breathtaking features were becoming a headache to me. I wish I could just wear a sack mask over his head - highly impossible.

Niklaus stood rigid, perhaps he was surprised at my action since this was literally the first time I'm being initiative aside from that time I was drugged.

But that didn't last for long because he responded back, his teeth biting down and sucking on my bottom lips until we came up for air.

"So this is what it takes to make you aggressive in bed? " Niklaus said as soon as we pulled away.

My forehead creased in confusion, what's he talking about?

I shook my head "I don't understand"

"You only feel protective of your man when you're jealous " he laughed and my eyes widened, everything finally making sense to me.

I thought I had played Niklaus but in reality, he was the one who did. He was a good actor and led me on with the belief 'I was ruffling his emotions'.

"Get lost "I pushed him on the chest but he grabbed my hand.

"You're still not free " he said

My brows raised "What?"

A smirk graced his lips, he began to kiss my fingers and my breath hitched " You let Eden touch your body, there's a punishment for that "

My breathing was a mess, especially with the way he pinned me with his intense eyes and doing funny things to my fingers.

"What if I wasn't exactly willing to participate? " I argued diplomatically and tried to withdraw my hands which was unsuccessful.

His eyes twinkled " Doesn't matter cause you danced with him Tigress moreover, I set the rules " he then tugged me towards his body and hoisted up in his arms.

My gown skirting up as my legs latched around his waist. "What if I don't play by your rules? " I said and intentionally threaded my fingers through his hair before slipping my hands into the inside of his shirt.

He smirked "We'll go by your rules then "

I groaned when he cupped my ass as our eyes met and held, our lips met hard.

His tongue found mine and we began a game of play and chase while his caresses sent electric current coursing through my veins.

Niklaus's skilled tongue and hands stroked and teased me until my brain went haywire.

Pulling away from the kiss, I yanked his jacket off his shoulder and delightfully watched it slide to the ground.

"Your turn " he murmured and peeled off my gown tossing it to God knows where and leaving me clad in nothing but my undies.

I watched him breathe sharply and his chest rose as his hungry gaze roamed over my body. His eyes were dark and hungry ; the desire was evident.

"You're perfect " Niklaus murmured and used his hand to trace the curve of my body.

His hands touched my flat stomach, and continued his upward exploration until it rested on the two mounds on my chest.

"Time to pay homage to the promoted boobs " he tried to provoke me but I couldn't retaliate since my mind was swimming with blissful pleasure.

A shudder ran through me as soon as he dipped his head and bit my nipples through my bra.

"Niklaus " Came my soft moan and my head pulled back in pleasure.
