"I DON'T HATE you." I say once my eyes followed up his hand, finding their way to his eyes.

He's so.. touch starved.

I trailed my hand up his arm, resting on his cheek. I gave him a smile, hopefully reassuring him.

I shrugged off the coat as I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him into a loose hug. He froze for a second before his arms wrapped around my waist, digging his head into the side of my neck and tightening the hug by bringing our bodies closer.

His breathing steadily relaxed, holding onto me for dear life.

"Did you know what he was doing before I told you?" I asked quietly.

"No." He responded. My nails traced random patterns on his back, soothing him down a bit.

"I may not be the most social person but I have deep respect for the people who work for me." He added.

I nodded in understanding, glad he wasn't a complete prick.

We stayed in silence for awhile, holding each other. That was until Prince slightly pulled away and pulled me onto his lap.

"Prince!" I shrieked as I sat in his lap, his arms circling around my waist again and hugging me.

"This is better." He stated lazily, nuzzling his head into me again.

"This is inappropriate." I stated back, reminding him that he's my boss.

"We're way past the part where we give a damn." He quipped. I sighed as my arms went around his neck again.

"Fine, let's go back to talking about Marcus." I say. He groans but remains quiet afterwards "Why did you lie?"

"I wanted to deal with it myself." He said, slight proudness seeping through his voice.

"How were you going to do that?" I asked.

"Since he's family, it'll be a different procedure." He said as his head started moving. I ignored it, trying to get back to the topic.

"Are you going to take it light on him?" I asked. "Don't do that. He deserves the worse punishment you can give him."

I pulled away from him as I finished speaking. He grunted and nodded, trying to go back to my neck.

"Prince I'm serious." I said, thinking he wasn't taking this seriously.

"And I hear you, I do." He said as he pulled me closer to his body. "But I want you."

My eyes widened at his comment.

"But I know I can't." He sighed as he leaned his head back. One of his hands ran through his hair while the other remained on my waist.

I don't know what was going through my head or what I was thinking that resulted in me saying what I said next.

"Why not?"

"I thought you wanted to keep this professional." He smirked as he leaned forward.

I wanted to kiss him. Maybe it was because the adrenaline or the new found trust he's given me, but I wanted his lips on mine.

Should I?
