Temptation

Chapter 2: Gavin

"Mr. Gray, don't you want to talk about the trauma you had? This is what you are paying for."

Words she gave utterance to, whisked something concealed deep beneath layers in me. Something I don't wish to confer about and haven't had for the past decades.

I held my gaze fixed at her beautiful dark orbs, which no doubt tries best to act all clever but every single time her innocence overpower in those black shiny stones.

I whispered my words to penetrate in her soul.

"Also, I might be paying to get a glimpse of you."

This is for the first time, where I am undisguisedly acting in accordance with what I am actually doing here.

My recent extreme height of psychological disturbance that I have came to the terms with in recent days might be one of the reason, where I am not able to contain myself and being loquacious.

Flabbergast my words have caused her were clearly evident on her small round face. She was not expecting this, or anything near this.

"I should be going."

Clearing my throat, I raised my body up from the chesterfield and was about to walk out of the cabin, when heard from the other side of the table.

"Every single time, world won't work your way Mr. Gray."

At times the braininess she exhibit astonishes me, while other times exasperates me. And this time around, it was clearly irritating.

Obviously she wanted answer.

Of?
Well, as my psychiatrist, of why am I this disturbed today? Why am I not answering her questions or why I never do so? And to conclude, why the hell am I interested in getting her glimpse.

If we see one after the other successively, first and foremost, I am agitated today because it is death anniversary of my nearest and biggest tormentor.

Secondly, I can't tell her everything, or else she will also run away or my 'so-called-curse' would act on her too, which is last in my wish list, don't even exist there.

Lastly, why won't I want to see angle of my life? My beautiful treasure.

Turning back, I faced her innocent face filled with question marks, which managed to pull smile out of me.

"It is, at least in my world psycho doctor."

Passing her my widest smile, I again made an endeavour to exit room full of questions, when Serena again threw a question in my direction.

"Care to explain your last statement?"

Turning to face her I spoke in tone 'Hate-me-as-hard-as- you-can."

"Doctor, being so experienced and interactions you must have had giving your profession, least I expect from you is a sense to draw  differentiation in between acknowledgement and sarcasm."

Discovering her cheeks flustered red, gave me a weird containment and exhilarated me. Finding her all annoyed made me satisfied and my train of thoughts diverged in a different direction, where I made an assumption, that is teasing her is my new hobby?

Gratified and satisfied, I walked out of her cabin, without being interrupted any further and dragged my body straight to my car parking out side my sweet healer's clinic.

After moments of bliss with Miss Serena, I went back to my company, where nothing caught interest of my workaholic at the same time depressed ass.

Making up my mind, I went to Moonlight shadow with my secretary, John, whose expression where literally screaming to me that he don't wish to spend even a second with me.

But me being a selfish jerk, not considering any of his plea, dragged him in with me.

What possibly can I do? I don't have any friend of mine own, practically my Albinus skin presented them to me as a ghost and no one wished to. And when my money, power, strength overpowered this silver coating, I was already turned to this jerk who doesn't wished to hang up with masked people.

But being a human, I also needed relief, rest, release. And for that reason I chose my childhood companion plus my secretary John.

At times, I feel he is stuck with me, but what can I do? I mean, he is born for this purpose, or brought up by my father for this reason.

Getting myself a seat I turned to John and smirked finding him irritated to the core.

"My dear John, I can see you are quite irritated."

Like adding fuel to the blazing fire, his expressions turned more sour and he gave me 'fuck-off-bitch' look.

But again, at the end of the day, it's of no use, he was not able to utter his mind. He can't.

Where Serena provided me excitement with her tomato turned cheeks, this man provided me satisfaction with his irritated yet tight lipped face.

"No sir, I am not."

I smirked looking at how his words and looks are totally different from each other.

"You should also enjoy your evening, don't remain stuck with me."

I poked him for one more time, knowing clearly how he can't leave my side with his own will and is stuck with me for life.

But this time he didn't felt necessary to give me a reply, rather turned his face to the other side, yes, ignoring 'ME'.

Letting out an audible chuckle, I diverted my attention back to the bartender who has been ogling me now for sometime. I clearly knew what her expressions meant, I am no saint, I know what she desired, but more than my perfect physique and Albinus skin, she wished for the wealth I was carrying.

If it was past when I was a kid, where money didn't matter as much as it did to adults, she would have laughed and made fun of me saying how I am all cursed and should stay away from her.

But now, everyone is different around money weighing my account and aura I am carrying.

But again, at the end of the day I am also human and wished some good relaxed time, but for some reason not with this girl. Not today. Not from past few months.

And I don't know why, why am I not feeling attraction or lust when I can ask any girl present in the room knowing no one would decline me?

"One tequila shot please."

Placing my order I turned away from bartender, genuinely snatching her hope and smile, all together at once.

Austin evenings are lit, to be precise, Moonlight shadow, where we are right now, attracts a buzz of crowd in evening, turning it completely packed with people. But not the case with bar or VIP lounge, where only few people or people with hot pocket stray, leaving the dance floor.

As I turned to face entrance, something or to be more accurate, someone caught my attention in the corner of my eyes.

An extremely tempting asian girl dressed all in maroon body cone, wearing pointed heels and loud make up with red lipstick and a simple pendant resting on her chest managed to catch my complete attention.

And first thing popped in my brain.

What miss Serena is doing here, that too all dressed? Just to enjoy herself or is here for some particular person?

Thinking about the later part caused a nerve to tick in my temporal area.
