REISS

8. The Radio

Loviana's Pov

"You will not. You can't go out at night alone, especially with her out there in open." Mr Reiss stated firmly leaving no room for argument.

"But- " Dan pursed his lips when he sent him a glare, his jaw clenched.

There was an awkward silence in the room for a moment. I need to leave because the air was getting thicker by the second and I feel like the air is suffocating me.

So much of Testosterone in this room.
*rolls eyes*

I had never seen Mr Reiss so agitated. Not even when I kicked him. So this must be some serious shit.

"I will manage somehow. Please don't bother yourself over it. I spoke before they could argue more.

"And how about you ask your friend to pick you up?" He groaned, showing his utter distress for my situation.

"She has to go to her work. She will be late if she comes to pick me up." I replied in a calm tone. I pondered over what he asked for a while and then I realised maybe he thinks I'm playing the weak girl so that they are coaxed to help me. I didn't like that thought for one second and so clarified him "Its not like I'm playing a damsel in distress with your brother, if thats what you are worried about. I will manage something."

I turned on my heel to make way through the door. When my wrist was grasped in a strong grip and I was spun around. I gasped as my palms collided with something hard. I fluttered my eyes openI looking through my lashes to find pools of ocean blue eyes, bit darker with a silent storm brewing in them, already fixed on mine.

"I will drive you home, Loviana." He whispered in a low tone near my ear and my body shuddered visibly. I secretly hoped he didn't noticed that. I wouldn't want him to know he is affecting me. My nose caught a hint of his faint masculine cologne. I opened my mouth to say something but I purse my lips when the words wouldn't come out. So I just nodded. My chin brushed against his chest and I saw him close his eyes as if he was feeling something from my touch. His reaction to my touch further heated my cheeks.

"Yeah. That would be better." Dan's words snapped out of whatever I was feeling and I quickly got off of him. I stood there not being able to meet their gaze. It felt really awkward to me. I lifted my head to meet his gaze after I calmed. He gestured me to walk first and I obeyed like a pup. He walked behind me but for some reason I could feel his gaze on my back. We reached his garage. I waited outside while he climbed into his black matte Maserati. The car was elegant. I could feel the connection with it. He drove out of the garage and I climbed into the car. He sped through the gates of the mansion. The ride was uncomfortably silent. I gazed out of the window to see the passing silhouette of trees and some houses. My mind flew back to the little intimate moment I had with Mr Reiss.

Why did feel so nervous? I never felt like this around anyone. Atleast after David. Why did the words not come out of my mouth? Why didn't I push him off? Maybe because I knew he didn't mean any harm.

He doesn't seem like a bad person though. He actually is a bit egoistic. Narcissist? Yes, lil bit. But he knows when to stop.

Stop fucking supporting him. All men are same. They just want to be served by women and wouldn't give even half of what you give in return.

Maybe my body reacted that way because I didn't have a physical connection with anyone and my body craves a touch of a man. But it never happened when anyother man touched me.

The way he says my name in that deep low voice of his sends zaps of electricity to my core. Not to mention the butterfly fluttering in the pit of stomach.
