If I were not the "I",

Who projects itself in front of "Them",

Would you still be "You"?

Or are "you" just a reflection?

Of an "I" who got lost

On the way to a "We"

Which does not contain "Us"

I was really happy to see the apartment.

It looked really warm and cosy.

The tall windows were letting the sunshine stay inside the living space. It was a small apartment but the way it was furnished made it looked spacious.

"Do you like it? Are you happy now?" His voice echoed behind me.

I turned around to see him leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed on his chest.

"Thank you so so much August. It really means a lot to me. You already have done a lot for me. I don't know how to thank you enough.". My tone was really appreciative.

"I only did what was best for you Tasha." He chuckled. "I have to go now. My apartment door is in front of yours. Just knock at my door if you need anything or give me a call." He said.

"Wait!" Is that your apartment?" I pointed at the door behind him.

"Yup! That is mine but they are temporary. My stay in New York is not that long. We will have to go to the main headquarters." He said while looking into the empty space inside my apartment.

"I guess that will be fun. Oh I have to buy groceries too for my stay." I huffed.

"Check the refrigerator and kitchen. There is enough stuff for you there. Rest! You can get yourself whatever you want. I got to go now. I have some work to do." He raised an eyebrow.

"Take care of yourself and rest." He winked at me and closed the door behind him.

His wink made me blush. Oh God this man made me so nervous. I didn't no why he was so kind to me or he was kind to everyone. May be he was habitual of helping everyone. Anyways! He had that mystical charisma to him which made him even more attractive.

I entered my bedroom and threw my purse on the small couch and fell on the bed.

Spreading both of my arms beside me I let out a long breath of relief.

August on the other hand was looking at something on his monitor. He entered a code and the cctv footage appeared on his screen.

Natasha's bedroom was in view. Her living room and her kitchen was in his watch too.

"Finally! Got you." His lips curved into a devilish grin.

He saw her getting up and removing her scarf. Her beautiful long neck was exposed. She removed her long boots jerking them away from her feet.

Then she proceeded to remove her earrings and her necklace and put them on the dresser.

August swallowed a dry patch into his throat. His adams apple bobbed up and down on the feeling of what is coming next. He was so excited to see her strip for him.

Then she took hold of the hem of her sweater and slowly folded it up. Her bare belly along with her tiny waist got exposed.

Her navel piercing was sparkling with the light reflection.

"Fuck!" He cursed under his breath.

She removed her sweater which exposed her black lacy bra. August was trained to trace the intense detail and he did.

She was lush at all the places she could be. Her boobs were a size C according to him. Her ass was perfect for him to spank with her thick thighs that would be perfect to straddle him.

She tucks her hair to a side and brought her hands on her back to undo her bra.

"Oh fucking hell!" He cursed and closed the laptop immediately as things were getting out of control for him.

He was sweating with the extremely hot sensation and was heavy breathing with the amount of overwhelmedness he suffered by just watching her strip.

He leaned on the revolving chair resting his head back.

Droplets of sweat shined on his thick hairy chest.

His true and cruel nature was masked beneath the shadows of darkness and mist. To most of them he was a nightmare on legs. A death sentence to most of them and a hard to swallow pill for his enemies.

But to her she was her guardian angel. A man she could trust. He couldn't even think of harming her as his carnal desire could prove fatal for her.

He had never handled anyone specially a woman with care. He knew how fragile a woman can be and he being a hammer can be destructive for them.

He closed his eyes and let a sigh of relief.

"My Angel! You are a rose and I will pluck you petal by petal. I'll see how long you will guard your fortress from me." A smirk appeared on his lips.

I threw my bra in the way to the shower. I stood into the shower stall and let the hot water seep throw my skin.

The solitude felt so good for a while. I closed my eyes and his face flashed in front of my eyes.

His charismatic smile and the wink which had me so weak to my knees.

Why was I thinking about him so often? Was I falling in love with him. After all what he had done for me.

I completed taking shower and wrapped a towel around myself. After wearing my pj's and warm fur slides I headed to the kitchen to make some coffee.

Something popped up in my mind and I took my cell phone.

"August! Are you up for a coffee?" I texted him.

After 5 minutes I got a reply.

"Sure, But at my place."

I bit my lips and typed.

"Coming in 5 minutes."

I was making cappuccino.

After beating the coffee into the cream and adding hot milk the coffee came out perfect.

I put the cups into a small tray and as soon as I reached his door he opened it.

I was greeted with his warm smile at the door.

His apartment was completely different from mine. Cool grey and black tones welcomed me into the living space.

A black leather couch was placed with the grey coloured window pan which was covered with simple grey silk curtains.

In front of the couch placed a simple glass coffee table.

The kitchen counter was all grey marble with grey coloured cabinets and a really simple styled faucet.

I could smell sandalwood and fresh minty fragrance inside.

"Welcome to my home Tasha." His warm and soft voice echoed into my senses and I came out of a daze.

"Your coffee August. I-a I'm sorry I'm in my pjs." I looked at myself then I looked at him.

"Its ok. Come take a seat." He put the coffee mug on the table and hoped on the sofa beside me.

It was a two seater so apparently we were sitting close to each other.

He took a sip of his coffee. "It tastes delicious Tasha." He said while his sparkling blue orbs pierced through my skull.

"Thanks!" I replied while looking away. I couldn't muster the courage to look into his eyes.

With the corner of my eye I looked at his body. His shirt was barely containing his muscular physique.

His fresh sandalwood cologne was pouring into my senses.

Then I committed a mistake. A mistake of looking at his thick mqscular thighs.

He was sinfully attractive oh my God and the way he sat with his legs spread open made me feel like sitting on his lap.

I quickly looked away and felt awful on my dirty mind.

"Let me show you my room." He finished his coffee and stood up looking at me with questionable eyes.

I realized I had the whole unfinished cup of coffee in my hands which I gulped in a go as it had turned cold.

I stood up and he took me to the next room which was umm his bedroom.

I was already very nervous and the feeling of being alone with him in his mighty bedroom made me shudder.

His bedroom looked warm and cosy.

The same shade of grey was everywhere. The bed and comforter were also of grey colour on top of the white bed linen.

A laptop between two Led monitors were placed on a desk in a corner of the room. It seemed like his home office.

I looked around the bedroom and then I looked towards him and saw his eyes glued on me.

A sudden rush of blood ran towards my cheeks and made them tomato red. His hand reached towards my face and tucked a loose hair strand behind my ear.

He slid his tongue on his lips like he was ignoring the strong urge to kiss me.

"You are so beautiful Tasha." He exclaimed.

I saw his eyes glistening and his pupils dilated.

His thumb stroked my cheek and then brushed my lips.

I shuddered on his touch. I was petrified on what was gonna happen next but I was dying to melt in his arms as well.

Slowly he came closer with his face just a mere inch apart. His nose touched mine like he was asking the permission to touch my lips with his.

I was stunned. I couldn't move and I was waiting for his next move.
