Note : This particular chapter is not meant for the young and innocent minds, so shoo away. But don't worry no major plot happened, just try again tomorrow.

Nik's POV

I panicked when I couldn't find her, I thought something had happened to her especially with sakuzi around the corner; I couldn't keep my guard down.

My eyes darted across the room, but I couldn't find her until my gaze shifted to the dance floor and my fist clenched.

She was dancing with Eden and it made my blood boil. Perhaps if it had been with another guy I wouldn't be so concerned, but with my cousin? Definitely no.

There was a huge reason to be concerned and this girl definitely had not learnt her lessons until she got burned.

Perhaps because I was blinded by rage, I didn't realize when I grabbed the next available female beside me without permission and walked her to the dance floor.

"Oh " she said genuinely surprised and flashed me a friendly smile " I didn't realize you wanted a dance with me?"

"Just dance " I said in a tone that wasn't too rude nor too welcoming, afterall I grabbed her without permission so the best thing to do was to play nice.

Though I might be an arrogant jerk sometimes but I definitely understood manners and when I crossed a line.

But it seems I chose quite a chatterbox cause she kept effusing on how much she admired my works and contributions to society.

Even Though it made my headache worse, it was a whole lot better than her swooning and professing her unconditional love for me.

She looked similar to Maya in terms of character especially with her endless chattering.

"What's your name? " I suddenly asked and she glanced up surprised.

"C-camille " she blurted out, voice wobbly "My name is Camille " She said this time firmly and boldly.

" I'm using you " I confessed and she gave me a quizzical look.

"I don't quite understand, perhaps a little more explanation would do the magic " came her response.

"I'm dancing with you because I want to grip my cousin and tear him from limb to limb for dancing with my woman "

Her mouth widened in fear or amazement I couldn't tell until a smile stretched her lips.

"No wonder , figures " Camille said, leaving me in confusion this time .

"What? " I asked.

"I thought I was over thinking but it seems I was right, your body might have been with me but your spirit definitely wasn't ; you kept peering over my shoulder " she explained and I nodded.

"But I'll help you out " She told me and my brows lifted interestedly.

This was the second time of seeing a young lady that wasn't interested in me - the first being Maya - but the voice of caution still rang in my head, I can't trust yet.

My eyes narrowed " What do you want in return? " People hardly do things for free.

She shrugged her shoulders "Meh, nothing. I'm a sucker for romance and hate people who makes it their hobby to split couples up "

Camille lifted a stubborn chin "Perhaps if you give me that cousin of yours, I might set him straight in a matter of time "

I chuckled inwardly, that was highly impossible but then, If Maya could change me in ways unimaginable perhaps there was still space for a miracle - a chance to redeem Eden - Highly impossible, you can't change someone who doesn't want to be changed.

"How do you intend to help me? " I inquired from her and she gestured to me to lean down since I was taller than her and she whispered something into my ears.

My brows furrowed " You think she would like that? "

She rolled her eyes " Ofcourse, what woman doesn't like such a romantic gesture? "

And thanks to her idea, the plot began and once there was a general spin, we acted as planned.

We both cut in unexpectedly and took them unaware : Camille boldly grabbed Eden and waltzed away while Maya spun back into my arms.

Her eyes widened in shock and I smirked wickedly, I'm definitely giving it to her tonight as suggested by my previous dancing partner.

Which is why I did not waste time in getting her to the suite I had reserved for tonight, but it seems I have to log in earlier than planned.

I would propose to Maya this night and officially announce to the world she's mine ; I've waited long enough.

Seeing her dance with Eden moments ago made something snap inside of me, I wanted to make her mine, drive her insane, ensuring she desires no-one else but me.

"Where did he touch you? " I repeated my previous question when she tried to dodge around it.

"My thigh " Maya was breathless when she confessed and my chest swelled with pride, at least I was the only one who could touch her like this.

I grabbed her wrist and held it one-handedly while the other pulled her flush against my body, making sure to rub my length against her.

I looked her straight in the eyes " Did you like it? "

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

Though I had a feeling her response was to provoke a reaction from me but I couldn't help but feel annoyed at her answer ; she couldn't seriously be falling for Eden?

So I purposely grind against her, feeling the burning urge to brand her with my touch until she desires no one else but me.

I am a selfish bastard and don't care if she unconsciously develops feelings for Eden - scratch that - I would never allow her develop feelings for my cousin.

I would take over her body, mind and soul until there was no more space nor place for him in her heart.

"Oh my God Niklaus " She trembled and cried, her moans music to my ears as my hand worked her nub.

Her nails dug into my skin and I kissed her, swallowing her sexy throaty sounds and moved faster and faster until I felt her clench around my finger and I stopped, pulling away.

I laughed inwardly when I saw the frustrated look on her face but I didn't let it show before she punched the life out of me thinking I'm a sadist.

But I was surprised when she kissed me aggressively at the mention of Tina, was it jealousy? I smiled inwardly and took over the kiss, my ex-girlfriend seems to be her hot button at the moment.

"You only feel protective of your man when you're jealous? " came my teasing and her eyes slowly widened, the truth finally dawning on her.

"Get lost " Maya tried to pull away when she realized she herself had fallen into a trap orchestrated by her, but I didn't let go .

"You're still not free " I informed her .

"What? "

I took her finger into my mouth and began to kiss one after the other " You let Eden touch your body, there's a punishment for that "

Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes half closed from pleasure and I felt her shiver " What if I wasn't exactly willing to participate? "

She defended herself and my eyes twinkled with mischief, she wouldn't escape me this easily.

"Doesn't matter cause you danced with him Tigress moreover, I set the rules "

It seems I awoke the sleeping tigress cause she began to comply with my advances.

"What if I don't play by your rules ?" She purred, ran her hands through my hair before sliding it into my chest and I felt myself hardened ; she was slowly seducing me.

My lips pulled to the side " We'll go by your rules then "

As if a dam was broken, I cupped her ass and we began to makeout with a burning ferocity.

Soon enough, she pulled my jacket off my shoulder and let it drop to the ground.

"Your turn " I told her, grabbed her gown, slipped it over her head and tossed across the room.

Good grief, she was clad in nothing but a hot red bra and panty and my throat dried up at the sight.

"You're perfect " I mumbled and began to trail feathery touches on the curve of her body until it traveled way up her chest.

A gleeful expression plastered on my face as I said " Time to pay homage to the promoted boobs"

Perhaps because of the pleasure coursing through her body, she didn't retort back - but this was just the beginning.

I bent my head and bit her nipples through her bra causing her to moan my name.

She threw her head back "Niklaus "

I groaned feeling my own desire raging through me but I controlled it, it wasn't time yet ; the proposal as promised would come first.

I took hold of her waist and began to walk across the room before sitting on the large exquisitely designed couch, settling her on top of me.

At once her hands flew to the button of my shirt but I gripped both hands and gestured a no-no with my head

"This is your punishment, you can't touch me while I touch you "

She tried to protest but I was quick to add " Unless you want me to go dance with Tina "

She spat fire from her eyes while her jaw ticked, I couldn't help but like her being jealous. It showed she was affected the same way I was when she danced with Eden .

"Fine! " She snapped but without warning, moved against my arousal drawing a groan from my lips.

Her lips kinked to the side in a knowing smile, she drew close and rubbed her breasts against my chest asking "But I can do those right? "

Heart pounding,I let my hands thread through her hair , gripped a fistful and drew her head gently towards me, speaking softly into her ears " Yes you can, but get prepared "

The words hardly left my mouth before I kissed her hard and cupped her ass straddling her hips, rubbing her against my crotch through my pants.

Maya whimpered into my mouth and placed her hands on either side of me on the couch. Her hands grasping the leather cover tightly, probably a desperate attempt to keep her hands from touching me.

" Niklaus " She cried further , writhing on top of me when I began to trail hot wet kisses down her neck, suckling that sensitive spot.

Then my other hand made its way between her thighs and slipped inside her panties .

I felt her shiver before she let out a soft cry as my hands began to move. Tracing a fingertip up and down her center, I set a pace that left her gasping and trembling as the pleasure built.

"God!" She screamed, almost gripping my hair had she not remembered the deal and instead dug her hands into the couch.

Her eyes rolled back as I stroked, flicked, tortured and teased until she was begging for more.

"Niklaus please? " came her cry.

"Would you dance with Eden again?" I intentionally slowed my pace.

"No, I wouldn't ever… again " Maya replied breathlessly .

Her hips buck up and she threw her head back the moment I picked up speed, my fingers rubbing the right spot and moving faster than ever .

She gasped and arched her back while I drove her to the edge, the pleasure building and building until that ecstasy crashed over her.

Maya slumped on my body spent but satiated and I announced to her,

"That was just dessert, I hope you're ready for the main course "
