Harry POV

Taking a deep breath, I pushed down every feeling and sensation that was ripping through my body and plastered on my best CEO, boss face. "That is Mr. Styles to you, Mr. Tomlinson."

Louis raised an inquisitive eyebrow as he stood up straight, his dress shirt pulling tightly around his broad chest. I hadn't seen the man in five years, and it was safe to say that he had bulked up significantly.
He was also no longer wearing the glasses that I had last seen him in.

"Lasik." He stated, noticing my intrigued look, as he turned his back to me and grabbed another glass from the counter. "Can I get you something? I see that you already have a drink."

His condescending tone was rubbing me the wrong way and I instantly felt the need to put him in his place. I had always loved dominating him in the bedroom and that was definitely coming out right now. "Is that how you always speak to your boss?"

Louis' hands stopped polishing the glass that he was holding as he slowly turned back around. "Boss?"

"Mm. That's right." I placed my arm on the counter, leaning forward just as he had done moments ago. "You're looking at the new CEO of Styletech Hotels. Did you not know that there was someone new coming in?"

He set the half-polished glass on the counter as his eyes moved over my face, neck and chest. "I did. I just didn't realize that it was a Styles' coming in. We were told that it was an outsider."

"Technically I am an outsider. I haven't been involved at all up until now." I sat down on the stool in front of me, making myself comfortable at the bar and took a sip of the delicious drink in my hand. Now the name of it was even more intriguing. I raised the glass that was in my hand and gave him an amused smile.

"Addiction?"

His cheeks turned pink as his eyes fell the drink in my hand. "Uh.. it just seemed to work."

"Intriguing." I drew out the word, allowing it to roll off my tongue as my heated gaze met his. When I wasn't around him it was easy to try to push memories of him away but the moment, I was in his presence the fire overwhelmed my body and all common sense went out the window.

He blinked several times before pulling those gorgeous blue eyes away from mine. The ticket machine next to him hummed to life as a chit popped out. He quickly grabbed it, moving around behind the bar with an expert ease that captured my attention and held it.

I felt my stomach rumbling and set the now empty drink on the counter. I had no idea how much time had passed with me in a trance watching Louis' precision and skill put to work.

Waiting until he didn't look quite so busy, I tapped the counter in front of me to gain his attention.

"Another drink?" He asked as he walked over and stood in front of me.

"Yes please." I responded, keeping my eyes locked to his. They desperately wanted to roam all over his toned, fit body. "And can I get an order of the Strawberry Spinach Salad?"

He nodded his head, moving to the screen near the end of the bar and entering my order before he began to mix my drink. He twirled the bottles in his hands effortlessly, putting on a show as he made the drink. I wasn't sure if it was just for me or if it was second nature, but I enjoyed watching him, nonetheless.
