Pearls p.o.v:

I don't really know how this happened, but I was leaning into the mystery man's side and we were watch a film. He didn't make me scared like most new people did, I felt quite relaxed when I was close to him.  Wait what is his name? I looked up at him to see him already looking down at me I knew my face had gone red.

"What's your name, mister?"  he looked down at me and smiled, no teeth but still he smiled, I couldn't help but smile too. He had a very pretty smile.

"I am Mattias Sterling. I was meant to be in a meeting with your sisters, but my co-owner is handling it" I looked at him puzzled, why had he come out of his meeting and how did he know I was here.

"I-I am Pearl V-valentine" I didn't mean to stutter I guess it was just another bad habit. I held out my hand for him to shake as an introduction, but I did not expect him to lean down maintaining eye contact as he kissed my hand.

Mattias' p.o.v:

I watched as her cheeks heated up as I kissed her hand. She tasted like berries, I had kissed her twice now neither on her lips, I had to be patient.

Last night after she had 'bumped' into me Lukas had told me they were the valentine sisters but the youngest, my Pearl, was sheltered by the oldest two since her family's fire. Her sisters were very protective over her, she was home schooled, and her sisters had full custody over her since she was twelve. Her innocence came from the lack of real-world experience and it was addicting. She was pure and I needed that as much as she needed me.

I had left the meeting early to find the bathroom when I had seen her pale blonde hair through a glass door, I couldn't help myself. So now I was sat on a soft sofa with her leaning into me and my arm around her. I was very comfortable.

Shortly after I came in a woman came in and gave Pearl a juice box which she happily drank from. My thoughts were far from pure when I saw her with the straw in her mouth. She caught me staring and lifted the juice box to my face. Accepting her silent offer I wrapped my lips around the straw and looked at her as she went bright red. I took a small sip and released it she quickly took it back and continued to drink from it.

She had no idea of her effect on me.

"Pearl do you wanna-"Ivory Valentine walked around to the front of the sofa to see her little sister cuddled into me. She wasn't very impressed when I entered the meeting room an hour ago, but Lukas kept her quite distracted. He was obviously interested in her and she was pretty with her black hair and steely grey eyes just not as beautiful as my Pearl. She glared at me harshly and Pearl came closer to me.#]

"Ivy this is M-mattias, he kept me company w-while you were in the meeting" her glare let up when she looked at pearl and she forced a small smile.

"Well I am just going to borrow him for a second pearly" she gave me a wide smile and went outside. I stood up slowly and pearl frowned as I let her go. She was clingy and it was adorable.

"I'll only be a second darling"

I left the room to see the small woman glaring up at me, she was probably 5'7 with her large shoes on. However, the look on her face made her look quite intimidating.

"What the fuck are you doing with my little sister you perverted shit! She's six years younger than you! You had you arm round her too!" Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Opal and Lukas come out of the office to see her yelling at me. Lukas put his hand on her shoulder as she was yelling profanities at me, she swung round, and Lukas put his hands up in mock surrender. As ivory starts yelling at her sister about my dirty man hands on Pearl. I wash my hands often, actually.

I felt a small hand tug at the back of my suit jacket, I turned round to see Pearl looking confused. I held her hand and tucked her in my side as her sisters continued arguing.

"Can we take this into my office where there are fewer prying eyes" Opal glared at the surrounding employees watching the commotion and looked surprised to see pearl so close to me. She looked up at me and back down to her sister narrowing her eyes and pointing to her door.

We walked down to the office where opal sat down at the desk and turned her attention to Pearl who sat quietly on the chair next to mine. Lukas sat to my left and Ivory stood behind Opal.

"Did he hurt you?" I looked down at Pearl who looked shocked at the thought. Good, she knew I would never hurt her. She shook her head violently.

"N-no of course not Opal! He just sat with me b-because I was alone." Her stutter was adorable but one from nervousness not naturally. I rubbed her hand comfortingly and she relaxed a little.

"He didn't do anything without your permission?" Opal looked at pearl expectantly, of course not. She shook her head again this time looking a little annoyed.

"Did you- "

"He was just sat with me Opal because I was alone! He didn't do anything bad" she attempted to glare at Ivory, but she looked more like an angry kitten. Opal looked shocked at her outburst and looked at me with narrowed eyes.

"I was just making sure Pearly, Ivory has a tendency to over-react, especially this early in the morning" Ivory opened her mouth to argue but Opal continued "Ivy feel free to yell at me when there are less people in the room" I smiled at the interaction all three sisters were very close. They were lucky to have each other.

"Fine but I want to talk to Mattias. Alone." Ivory Valentine was definitely a character. She was feisty and protective of her family it was admirable, but I definitely did not want to be in the same room as her for long. Especially since her anger was aimed at me. I felt Lukas smirking at me and my Pearl squeezed my hand in reassurance. So cute.

Everyone slowly left the room my pearl was the last to leave giving me a small smile as she closed the door. I watched as she turned the corner with Opal until I looked back to see Ivory in front of me, she smirked.

"You like Pearl" it was more of a statement than a question she knew I liked her.

"Yes, I do" 

"If you hurt her, I will personally rip your dick off and feed it to you" It took everything in me not to laugh. She was fiercely protective it was sweet, but I would never hurt her.

"I would never hurt Pearl" She looked at me and nodded in approval.
