Provoked By Her Presence [Under editing]

Chapter 14: The kiss

D'Andre's POV

A deal went south with one of my private businesses and I barely heard the knocked on my door due to my occupied state of mind. When it opened I knew it was her. But in all honesty i was surprised to see her. Her scent changed though. Minty with a touch of strawberry. She'd let her hair down today, I noted that it changed her look too. And just like last night, it added a hint of fragility.

She sat across from me and preposition to question me about a text I had sent her - it was a little over the top I admit. So am guessing she is upset because I used her first name.

But no, she caught on to the fact this place is insufferable without her presence. I was really hoping she'd overlooked that.

When she perched herself on the front of my desk, her scent intoxicated my senses rendering me speechless.

Her question caught me off guard and had me hanging by a thin strand of thread. Mortified and embarrassed are too subtle to express my level of discomfort so I rose from the chair.

Running hands over my face and into my hair I tried to calm my now rioting nerves. Not even so much as a chance to console myself enough to explain did she left me.

Literally speaking the woman enjoyed every moment of my suffering. "Cut me some slack will you," I chanted over and over again in my head, silently hoping she was a telepathic person. Her feathery soft touch to my lips didn't stop at destroying me. I felt shivers sprint up my spine and to my loins. Faster than Usain Bolt could complete the 100 meter race.

Insults knows no bounds with her. I can't believe that's how you treat someone after you find out they like you. Humiliate them and then leave like you are the boss. I've had enough of this. She bruised my ego.

There's no way she's having the last word. Anger boiled in my blood and I couldn't control the tears in my eyes so I let them fall. This- I didn't expect that at all. Never will I allow that to happen to me again. Today is the last day I put myself in a position to feel things for women and lower my guard. Too painful.

Storming out the office I marched to hers a little down the passageway. I unknowingly clenched my jaw and balled up my fist trying to calm myself down. Thankfully for me she was in there and alone. Once inside I closed the door and proceeded to close the blinds. She stood up with her hands wide.

"What are you doing?" She all but raised her voice. I was having none of it. Locking gaze with her, I advanced in her direction and she back tracked until her derriere made contact with the wall. "You didn't answer my question. For heaven's sake! What do you want?" I only stared at her intensely especially her mouth. Now it was my time to witness some discomfort. I trapped her with my body so there was no way she could escape.

"Is that how you trample peoples feeling? Then you're the one to talk about having a heart. Emotions are not something you toy with young miss. You wounded me deeply back there." The cat must have caught her tongue because she was speechless. Good!

Closing the space between us even more, I cupped my hand around the back of her neck. Lowering my head just enough I grazed her bottom lip and felt her sharp intake of breath. She stiffened at the sudden contact and refused to grant me access but she didn't push me away. Taking her mouth slowly, i wanted to absorb and savor. Relaxing into the kiss she then parted her lips. I slid my tongue in and began my onslaught. She began to tremble as our tongues fought for dominance. Of course I won. Shifting my head I changed the angle of the kiss and fiercely plunged deeper in to her. Quietly she moaned and I felt satisfied but not enough. That would have to do for now.

Pulling away wasn't easy to do. She had tasted every bit sweet and delicious as I had thought. The smooth textures and the fluid movements, everything enthralled me. Her eyes were still closed when I found the courage to ease away. They fluttered open instantly. Need, desire and frustration were strictly laced in those mesmerizing eyes of hers.

"Let me know how it feels to have your personal space violated and then insulted afterwards. Because that's who you are. You play poker with others knowing you'll gamble them all away. Then crush their feelings like fist crimping a piece of paper."

I exited the room giving her something to chew on for a couple of days. I want her to feel the pain I felt.

Leanna's POV

D'Andre marched into my office like the domineering aristocratic pig he is. Shutting the blinds and the door. Like always I became alert at the abrupt change in my environs. As you would have guess I enquired the reason for his actions.

Little did I know he would entrap me in a corner and have his wicked way with me. What shocked me was the fact that he had the nerve to brand me the very laudatory epithet "the Lion-hearted". How dare he? I did conjure and spit some very harsh comments about his personality though.

I'll let that one slide. He kissed me and it was like nothing I have ever felt before. Of course I had kissed guys before him. One in my senior year of high school and many at college. They just never lead to anything serious.

My body went rigid at the impact but I later felt safe. So I succumbed to his lips taunting mine and kissed him back with equal fervor. Opening up for him to devour me.

Drowning, sliding down where the air was too thick to breathe and where the delightful sensations of the kiss seeped into my blood and pulsed was the only thought I had. My heart tripped twice,then it fell with barely a resonating sound. Nothing in the world prepared me for that. With a clouded mind, my body took over at a sweet and steady pang.

He pulled away and as my eyes opened I saw everything but desire or need. All that shone in his hypnotic hazel eyes was masked pain and hatred. Am not going to lie it produced a wasp-like stung to my heart. Wait.hold up. Did that thought just flicker across my mind?

I was dumbfounded when he retreated from my office. Standing there gripping the shoulder of my office chair, needing heavy support before my knees gave up on me I felt my very own eyes watering.

The ability to concoct a rational decision was as large as the space of a needle head. Honestly, I felt awful. A tear drop streamed down my face. "No!" Wiping the moisture away with the back of my hand. I cursed myself, he should not affect me this way.

This cannot develop any further, he is my boss for crying out loud. But argh...was he sexy as sin. With that perfectly toned skin and those six packs I spotted at the gym a few months ago. Lord help me!
