Bonded To The Enticer

Chapter 11- Surprise

His masculine body leaning by the door would inspire so many painters.His shady look that emphasized those spring green irises.He smirked at me and his eyes were lost in mine, trying to read me.He kept me still with his penetrative eyes and that seemed to be feeding off me. But then, he broke the unwilling silence that prevailed.

"Ready to go? " he asked quizzically.

"Yeah," I simply replied. His lips curved into a wicked smile as he was enjoying his own joke.He suppressed his grin and lead the way.

I shuddered as his arm slithered fluidly around my waist onto my back.I glanced at him but he wore his classy shades .It should be illegal for someone to be that beautiful.His cold hand that stroked my back felt like fire was radiating from my body to reach the intensity of his coldness.I licked my dry lips.We walked to the shore and our legs were moving in sync.

The smell of the sea filled in my nostrils.The melody of the waves crashing on the rocks and the trees that were swaying in the flow of the gust were ecstasy. It was so pleasant to the senses. As I admired the sea in hues of blue from turquoise to navy,I inhaled the air of freedom.It was calm with the mild waves that washed the sand on the shore simultaneously.Such a moment of bliss could rarely be found back in town where one can forget oneself and surrender to this mighty atmosphere.The view was as divine as its creator.Such a nice combination of stillness and peacefulness.The natural balance between all the elements existing there is hard to find elsewhere in such a competitive and industrial world.

"Good Morning, Sir, " a familiar frosty voice reached my ears.

I turned and found Connor, in his black and white suit with a hard and scary look on his face.He was talking to Hayden before His attention turned to me as he glared at me in amusement.He had a very surprised expression on his wrinkled face. I wondered what he was thinking.

"Miss. Walton, " he acknowledged.

"Good morning," I greeted warmly although his weird and unwelcoming face was disturbing to me.

"Yes, Connor.Is the boat ready? " Hayden asked with his bossy attitude that crowned his authoritative character.

"Yes sir,ready to be steered all the way back to town," he affirmed.

"Excellent, then we shall leave, " Hayden glanced at me as if it was a question," Tell Stacy to email me my schedule for today. " His attention drifted back to Connor.

" Yes sir, " he nodded and pivoted before resuming his way.

Hayden and I went aboard.He was the master of the boat and he handled the steering wheel skillfully.He was gifted with many boons.I couldn't cease admiring this enticer at work with his boat.

"You seem very quiet! " he exclaimed.

" I'm admiring the mesmerizing view, " I said teasingly.

"Me?" he asked with a grin.

"I didn't mention you. I said the view.The entourage is so captivating that my eyes are unwilling to look anywhere else, " I chuckled.

" Well, I'm appalled and also jealous now," he confessed.

"Why jealous? "

" Because, Miss Walton,this view succeeded in attracting you more than I do, " he said playfully.

Argh... Only if he knew that all my attention is sticked on him since the very first day we met. Only if he could feel the feelings I have for him.

"Do you even need to draw my attention?"

" Well, if I'm worth it, "

" I must say, you are very good at your words, " I admitted the whole fact that his speech was never monotonous.

"Oh I'm good in other things too," his words made me blush.His mind was going somewhere else in a very dirty place.

"I'm in no place to doubt that, Mr.Stone.You seem very convincing with your words, " I stated.

He smiled as his lips curved a crescent smile.Soon,we reached the quay leaving the Paradise like Island behind.But somehow, I felt that the visits to the Stone Island would be more often now.

He helped me out of the boat.He opened the front car door of his black fireball like car to let me in. He made the round and seated himself.The engine roared and my body was almost vibrating inside.I was about to buckle my seat belt but he leaned over and pulled the seat belt himself and his body stroke my breast.I gasped.He then moved back and adjusted his black well knotted tie.Once his hands was on the steering wheel,the car was almost flying with the speed he was driving.

"Why do you have to drive so fast? " the question was itching me for so long.

" Are you scared of my driving? "

He was grinning and so, I didn't want to show him my weakness by saying that his driving did scare me.

"No, it's just that you might hurt someone someday," a stupid answer rolled down my mouth.

"Well,I might be a speed freak but not a reckless driver.I love having the control in my hands, "

" Control that can knock someone down one day, " I murmured.

" Did you say something? "

" No, absolutely not.Uhm,we're almost there, " I put his attention back on the road.

His car stopped and the roar became fainter and fainter.I opened the car after removing my seat belt.He was starring at me.

" What? " I asked.

" Nothing, just... Let me know about tonight, okay? " his eyes were cold.

" I will. I've got the card, "

" Okay, " he picked my hand and planted a soft kiss on my knuckles.I smiled.

I opened the door and walked to the door and pivoted.I waved him a bye and he left.I opened the door and I found dad, arms wrapped on his chest and holding a serious look on his face.

"Hi Dad, "

"Would you like to remind me why you didn't pick up my calls yesterday?" his tone was serious.

"I dozed off and my mobile was in silent mode and it ultimately switched off because of low battery, " I said apologetically," I'm sorry, "

" Well,nevermind, I've got a surprise for you! " his face displayed a his usual welcoming smile that assured me that he was not angry anymore. I didn't want to go over the previous topic again and so,I played the surprise game with him.

" Surprise for me? "

" Yeah, It's upstairs in your room," he pointed out, "Go and have a look!"
