"Do you want something to drink sweetheart? " Marissa asked

"No Marissa, but thanks for asking. " I said grinning.

We are currently sitting in their living area and it is ginormous, Marissa and Robert are the sweetest person I've ever met. She reminds me of mom so much. Apparently I'm waiting for the almighty to show up so that I can give him the documents but he is nowhere to be seen.

So here I'm chattering around,

"So Shana you're Indian?" Robert asked curiously after I told them about my nationality, here it goes.....

"Yeah I'm Indian, my mom is English and papa is Indian that's why.." I pointed towards myself. Cause I definitely not look like Indian but I'm.

"Oh! That's explain the accent you have, it's slightly have the English tinge." Marissa said smiling.

"So what does your parents do Shana?" Robert asked again.

I'm feeling like I'm in an interview.

"Actually my father is a retired Indian army luetient and my mom used to work in an NGO." I answered leaving the part where my mom got diagnosed with cancer and my godparents are biollionaire. The shikhawats.

"Oh. Are you single child Shana?" Marissa inquired.

"No. I have a younger brother, Noah. He's graduating in medical currently. " I said remembering the doofus who is having fun of his life here. Just till this Sunday and he will be going back, I'll actually kinda miss him.

"Where is Xavier? He's taking too long. " I asked impatiently, their questions are making me nervous, I wiped my sweaty hands on the pants for the millionth time now.

"Since he is taking too long..Why don't you go to him?" Marissa said thoughtfully.

Thank God!

"Yeah you're right! I'll go to him." I said grabbing the first chance to get away from their interrogation.

I sprinted but stopped in my way remembering that I don't know where the hell to go! I slowly turned around embarrassed and saw both Robert and Marissa smiling amusingly at me. God just allow the earth to Swallow me now.

"Hahaah" I laughed awkwardly before hanging my head in embarrassment while cursing silently and keeping my eyes closed.

"No need to be embarrassed sweetie, just take the stairs where we were and turn right, their's only one room, it's Xavier. We will wait for both of you here." Marissa said smiling vibrantly.

"Thanks"

I got of the living room, where I saw a girl around my age dusting so I asked her where is the grand stairs. She told me the directions and after absolute five minutes of wandering here and there I finally reached the stairs. I saw the clock which was showing 7 PM in the evening, wow it's been half an hour since I had arrived here.

Anyways let's find that nincompoop, I ascended the stairs, my heels making sound with each step, I silently admired the architecture, it's very 90's type, probably Marissa's choice, giant portrait hanging in the hallway, and light emitting from the chandelier enhancing their worth, these pictures are worth more than my annual income, I like it here. It's big but it still got that homie vibe.

On reaching on top of the stairs I saw two hallways, one on my right and one on my left. I was supposed to go right. Right? Yeah. I walked down the hallways where a door was located at the very end. I knocked on the door but nobody answered, instead it cracked open due to the pressure of my knocking. Maybe Xavier forgot to close the door.

Peaking into the room, I tried not to gasp, it was a master bedroom with giant King sized bed in center. It looked so comfortable, I resisted my urge to go straight and jump on it and silently went in, without making any noise, this is wrong but who cares? This is freaking awesome.

The room was black, black and Oh! Black. Emitting pure aura of masculinity, a LED just right infront of the bed, not so 90's now. A flower vase on the side with two doors ahead. The room has pin drop silence, not a single noise coming from anywhere.

I grinned mischiefly, since no one is here I went near the edge of the bed before jumping on the bed at once. Oh my gosh, so relaxing, I relaxed completely while closing my eyes. This is heaven, the A.C. working just fine. I swear I can sleep right now. I was in pure bliss when I heard a click, I leaned on my elbows to look towards the main door but it was closed. So where does this sound came from?

I didn't move, is this bed creaking? No way. Wait there's is two more doors in this room. I paled, slowly turned in horror to see a naked back of a man with towel on his torso.

"Ahh!!" I screamed before covering my eyes and standing at once from the bed.

"Shana? What are you doing here?" I heard Xavier's confused voice.

"You pervert! How dare you come infront of me like this!" I screamed once again.

"Geez woman! Calm down you'll scare the whole mansion. And this is my room!" He said as I peaked slowly between my fingers to see him standing there while crossing his arms on his chest. He's very much still in towel.

"So what!? Atleast put some clothes on." I said now glaring at him since my hands are beside me again. My slowly going down on their own, where a very defined 8 packs abs and v-line is waiting.

"What? Am I supposed to know that you were lurking around here?" He asked.

"Your parents gave me permission to come into your room....ok that didn't sounded good. I mean I wasn't lurking around!" I said still eyeing his abs.

"Eyes up here woman. " I looked up to see him smirking. his hairs dripping of water, ears red maybe due to the shower and his eyes glistening with mischief, he was in the shower!

You should have checked it! My chance of seeing a naked butt just went down the drain.

Are you for real!?

His voice pulled me out of my trance,

"Huh" I asked confusedly. What did he say?

"Am I making you uncomfortable Shana" he asked amused as he started coming my way. What the heck! Code Red!! What am I supposed to do now.

"What are you doing?" I asked stupidly.

"What am I doing?" He asked smirking still continuing his way.

He's cornering you. You idiot! Do something!

I backed away in reflex.

What the f*ck are you doing? You're not supposed to be cornered!

My legs hit the bed as I landed on the bed with my feet dangling, I tried to lean on my elbows but he hovered over me with his hands on both sides of head as I fell on the bed once again.

I gulped nervously as I stared at the beautiful man on me, his eyes sparkling and his luscious lips parted slightly with his breath tickling my face, he is smelling so good like his cologne and body wash.

"Xavier......your towel." I said nervously gulping, afraid that it will fall.

"Do you want me to take it off ?" He asked huskily, I looked up in his eyes with wide eyes.

"NO! I mean no. Don't!" I said hurriedly.

"Why are you so nervous? It's not like you haven't seen me before. " he said as his hand moved to touch my arm. Igniting sparks that I've been ignoring since i arrived in new York. I stared into his eyes mesmerized. Trying to reason him with something,

"Yes. But I was dr-" he cut me off with as his face came nearer than it was before, his lips just mere millimeters away from me. His eyes became much shades darker almost black, my breaths started coming out in pants as my whole body started burning for his touch.

"No. Shana...right now.. all I know is that I wanna rip your clothes off while I kiss every inch of your body and take you right now, right here, so.....can I?"

I stared at him all breathless and shocked, trying to make my brain understand that we're in his parents house, and most importantly he's my boss.

"I-

I got cut off as his lips smashed onto my in ferocity, his hands moving down along my waist, My eyes widened in shock as my brain slowly registered the fact he is kissing me, I slowly closed my eyes taking the sensation in, his smooth lips gliding against mine, I started moving my lips with same intensity to give my all into the kiss, I loved the way his kiss makes me feel, all tingly and complete, he sucked my lower lip for permission and I gave it happily parting my lips for him, his tongue entered my mouth tasting every inch of my mouth, his kiss demanding dominance, passion and love. His kiss slowly consuming me all and for the first time I accepted to myself that there was something more than attraction that lured me in to Xavier.

His hands grabbed my waist, throwing me properly on his bed he once again hovered over me,

"Can I?" He asked breathlessly.

I smiled while panting,

"Yes." I answered as he smiled in return before capturing my lips at once, my eyes closed in reflex and our lips moving in sync with his one hand going around my waist and lifting me from bed and pressing me close to him, I snaked my hand around his neck into his hairs. I smiled around his lips in contentment as I kissed him with everything in me, his lips tasted like cinnamon and heaven, they were lusciously soft and the more I got the more I wanted.

His tongue marking his territory, his hands making me tingly on my waist as his other touched my nape of neck softly igniting shivers and goosebumps along my body.

After what felt like eternity of heaven,

He softly parted our lips, my eyes still closed as I felt his breath on my lips, I smiled softly when I felt him pecking my lips softly once again.

I slowly opened my eyes to see the handsome man infront of me, I saw him staring at me with so much adoration, contentment and passion and something else that I can't describe, a small smile still plastered on my face, I trailed my fingers along his jaw as one of my hand still in his hairs.

"Wow.......that was......" I trailed amazed at how he made me feel, I felt him nervously glancing in my eyes. I suppressed the chuckle that was threatening to escape, this man that just five seconds ago kissed me like all alpha Male is now nervously waiting for my reaction. I softly kissed him once again, to show him how I feel, I still don't know what I feel but it is definitely more than anything I've ever felt before.

"Is this means that you're not angry?" He asked softly, his eyes still black with desire, I know he's holding himself back.

I smiled and shook my head in negative to show him that I'm not angry, I'm..........rather happy......I don't know why.

"I'm not angry Xavier........I'm amused."

"Why?" He asked confusedly.

"I'm amused that how after all this your......towel is still intact in its place." I grinned.

He glanced down before looking up and smiling sheepishly and pecking me once again, getting off so that I can get up too, I stood up infront of him.

He smiled at me and asked.

"Now......now what Shana?" He asked seriously.

"Now......you go into your closet and get dressed and come downstairs so that we can have dinner together."

His smile of contentment faltered at once as it started turning into frown, I know. I'm not stupid..he's asking about the kiss and what it makes us, but I'm not sure if I should take this any further, I'm afraid that if I feel more than needed I'll end up getting hurt, it hurt me to get his Hope's high before crushing it at once, but I'm not ready for a relationship with this particular man.

"Yeah. I should probably. " he said before slowly going inside his walk in closet, closing the door.

I sighed sadly, sitting on his bed to wait for him, he came out in black v neck and grey sweatpants and gestured me to follow him, which I did slowly without asking about his sudden mood change cause I know the reason.

We went downstairs to the dining hall silently, talking at all. Now this is getting awkward, he's ignoring my presence while walking ahead of me with his hands in his pockets. I followed behind him cause I doubt I'll be able to find the dining hall on my own. Soon we reached the dining table where varieties of food were placed, my mouth watered just by looking at the food.

"Took you both long enough. " Marissa said mischiefly as I blushed like a tomato.

"Come here sweetie." She gestured me to sit beside her, I grinned and went to the seat.

"Mom that's my seat-" Xavier tried to argue for the seat, so I tried to get to get up. Code word 'tried'.

Marissa pulled me down on the seat,

"Xavier you've been sitting beside me your whole life! Why don't you give Shana a chance now. Go sit beside your father."

"But-" he tried to argue but immediately stopped when saw that Marissa was glaring at him.

We were all eating with me and Marissa constantly chatting about the girls stuff and both the kings were staring at us shocked shocked. Is there something on my face? I touched my face softly to check.

"Mom?" Xavier said.

"Yes?" She answered while looking at him.

"Mom are you okay? You never talk this much during eating."

"That's my son because I'm not interested in talking about how many goals did your football team scored or what is stock market prices these days."

She answered his questions sarcastically before asking me a question,

"Are you single Shana?"

"Yes."

"No."

I and Xavier both answered simultaneously, I looked at him confusedly, why did he think that I'm in a relationship? Ignoring him I turned to Marissa and answered,

"Yes I'm single. Why are you asking?" I asked smiling.

"Nothing. Just bickering around. " she waved her hand dismissing me while looking at Robert with twinkles in her eyes. Something is going on here.

I turned to Xavier and passed the documents to him,

"Xavier these are the accounting documents that you asked Noelle to prepare."

"Ok." He answered in one word. I sighed inwardly before standing up with my bag.

"Thanks for the dinner Marissa and Robert. Goodnight Xavier, I'll get going now." I nodded my head in greeting.

"You're going so soon sweetie." Marissa said while hugging me, Robert also hugged me.

"Yeah, I'm sorry Marissa but Noah must be waiting for me at home." I reasoned but I saw Xavier beside her getting rigid.

"No problem honey. You can visit us anytime, Xavier why don't you take her out?" She asked Xavier.

"Sure." Xavier said through his gritting teeth as he sprinted ahead of me. I smiled a last time before rushing behind him.

We got out of the mansion, where he stood there while staring at me indifferently. I sighed and slowly stood infront of him, his height towering over me.

"Xavier about the ki-"

"Don't worry Shana, I'll wait for you but mark my words. You'll be mine." He said while his eyes held an untold promise, I shuddered under his eyes, looking at the ground and nodded softly.

"Come on I'll give you a ride home." He said, his eyes softer than before. At the mention of ride a smirk already made its way to my face, I suppressed it before looked at him.

"I'll manage. Don't worry." I said and went to my Ducati where she was parked. With Xavier behind me.

"You know how to ride?" He asked

"Yes I do."

Why does our sentences sound so cringy?

I put my hairs in bun and wore the helmet, getting on my Ducati I removed it's stand, and looked at Xavier.

"Guess I'll see you tomorrow in office Mr. King. Good night." I said smirking, thank God he can't see my face. I ignited the bike and accelerated out of the garage and straight to the iron gates.

Getting out of the gates. I accelerated as it's engine roared to life, let's go back home.
