Chapter 12

Eriantha

"Trust me you are enough," I was under his sweltering gaze, which immediately sent electric shocks right down to my nether area, I couldn't take my eyes off his fingers, which were languishing  his lower lips.

"However," he continued "in order to make it appear more convincing, you shall mortgage Reux Perfumes to me." He stated as a matter of fact.
That's it, nothing comes for free in this world, he must have had his eyes on our company just like Vivian had said, i should be  my cue, I should leave, in fact it was a naive move to come here on the very first place.
My heels hurt, but I didn't smart and stood on my feet.
"That's impossible, I would never do that, I can't betray Anders, I would never sell out our company..."
Darcel gritted his teeth, I could see his jaws clenching, his composure was replaced by anger.

Can't I even speak my mind? What did he imagine I won't be able to see through his intentions?

"You aren't helping yourself, with this habit of reacting before you hear the whole thing. You would regret it if you do the same once we are married." Darcel hissed as he tugged my waist the next moment I was pressed against his chest just in just one pull.

"I...I... haven't agreed to this marriage" I stuttered nervously, but he only laughed briefly as my response.i felt like a mouse being pressed under a Lion's paw.Something dark and menacing bore in the air, I opened my mouth to speak some more, but refrained, befriending silence for a change.

His nose inched closer to my neck, and I could feel both our heartbeats racing like they were F1 cars.

"What is this perfume that you are wearing Miss Reux?" His voice was soft and deep. His palm was resting on the small of my back. Short a-line  skirts are always risky, for my ass always betrays me, so is the case with shirts. Both my ass and my boobs had a bit extra fat than the wasn't needed on my petite body.

I regretted the choice of my dress. 

RIP self respect.

I was ensnared by nervousness, "I am a perfumer Mr.Karwitz. I am not supposed to wear perfumes for professional reasons."
I couldn't see his face, but I could feel a smile on the crook of me neck.

This man! why is he asking such a weird question now? And,what was this situation? I screamed inside my head, I was totally straddling him, and even though he didn't move a muscle I could feel heat rising in my soft core.

'Damn this virgin body!'


"Sit down, Miss Reux." He gestured at the spot beside him, as his mask of calmness was slipped back the moment he released me, and I complied right away.He smirked at me, perhaps at his little victory on having an effect over me.

"Good girl" He said zeroing on my lips, and I felt my thongs getting wet.

Preposterous 

I was appalled by my kinky hormones.

"I have no interest in Reux Perfumes, but, as far as I understand the Davytans always do that, they lend money on the very first place so that they can usurp everything. As I will pay off your debt they will make another move, it's almost like snatching a slack of meat from a hungry dog. Your brother won't stand a chance against them."
Anders' messed up swollen face, beaten blue and black, smeared in his blood, flashed momentarily,he was in a bad shape already, and that was when they claimed that they went easy on him. 

"Ruthless fucking bastards" the curse slipped out, as tears pooled my eyes, I tried to blink them away quickly.

"I see that you are smart Miss Reux. After two years you will get back your company, and I can assure you that it will be in a far better place than it is now."
