The Mafia Queen 👑

Chapter 9

Angel

I'm shaking like a leaf, no not with anger but with fear.  I'm currently standing behind a door with a big brown plate written CEO in black. For the past five minutes I've been moving my hand up to knock and retrieving it. My heart is in my throat and I feel hot,like I'm about to have an anxiety attack. I push it down though, this is not the time or the place.

Taking a deep breath I raise my hand up again and knock twice. "Enter." comes the angelic voice I have had the pleasure of hearing since I woke up. Wiping my sweaty palm on my pants I grab the knob and slowly turn it. I take another calming breath before opening the door.

Lina sits behind her office desk working through some papers, she doesn't look up when I enter she is still as beautiful as she was this morning, her black hair is tied behind her head, her tanned skin that I'd love to feel and those full lips under a red lipstick, it makes her as much scary as it does sexy .

I stand in the doorway awkwardly, not sure what to do with myself. "Are you going to stand there the whole day?" Her melodic voice takes me look out of my thoughts as she says ,still not looking up, "look at me" I want to say. I clear my throat and move into the room, my heart beating wildly in my chest.

" uh... I have been uh... transferred to your office... ma'am?" I say wiping my sweaty palms on my pants.

I freeze as she raises up her head and her grey blanks land on me, i shiver under her gaze as it travels my frozen form up and down. The party in my pants starts to make its presence known as it stirs a little. Dude, calm down , I think to myself,you don't want to get fired on your first day here for getting horny for the boss.  The heat that runs to my cheeks making them pink is a little harder to hide though so I look down.

I hear a growl and within seconds she was in front of me pinning me to the door behind me, hands on either sides of my face and hers just inches away from mine. I let out a whimper of surprise looking at her with wide eyes.  She sucks in a breath and closes her eyes as if fighting against something herself. When she opens them it's no longer the blank or icy ones that I've come to know. They are filled with something else, something primal, desire??

"Kitten."
"y...yes?"  I've come to accept that nickname

"You are distracting me." She says

"and if you continue standing in here, like this, as if offering yourself to me I won't hesitate to take you, hard on this office floor."  She says her eyes never leaving mine. All the colour of my blood rises and gathers at my cheeks. I lick my lips and her eyes flicker to them. I've never been so turned on in my entire life. I mean of course I've never been with anyone before.

"I'm sorry?" I phase it as question

She closes her eyes against and buries her face in my neck. Taking deep breaths, is she... is she sniffing me??I read a lot of novels and I know that's what wolves would do when they find their soulmates. I clear my throat and as if she realised what she was doing she pulls back and stands a few feet from me. Hands in her pockets. I immediately feel the loss of heat of her body and I want it back.

I wonder what she is thinking about as she looks at me so. The sound of my phone ringing is a deafening sound in the eerie silent room as we stare each other down. "Hello Jean, are you okay?" I ask worriedly without taking my eyes off Lina , I see her teeth clench at the mention of Jean but I can't focus on that right now my friend needs me.

"Hey pumpkin, I just wanted to know if you are settling down well up there." She sounds much better

"I'm okay, just worried about you, how are you feeling?" I ask

" I'll be okay." She says sounding like she's about to cry again
"Come on pumpkin, don't cry. It's going to be okay, just don't cry ." I hate to see her hurting because she is the sweetest person. I feel Lima's angry gaze on me but I'm not about to look at her. One woman at a time.
"Let me get back to work, I've been receiving angry stares from lazy bone over there and I don't want to lose my job. I was just checking up on you.Later pumpkin." She says and drops before I could even answer. Even if she's not doing well she still worries about me. That's Jean for you.

I put my phone back in my pocket and looking up I see that she is seated on her desk, arms folded looking at me. I swallow hard. " is there anything you need me to do for you ma'am?" I need to get out of here.

"You may leave." She says and goes back to her seat and starts working again. I leave her office and sit at the desk outside her office that is designated for her assistant. That's me now, her personal assistant. I don't know whether this is a demotion or a promotion.

Speaking of personal , I still haven't called the girl from the coffee shop. I take my phone out again and scroll through my contact list , there are not that many so I should fine her name easily. I frown
Huh! Did I forget to save her number? Wait she saved it herself and I saw it when taking my phone back. How come then it's not here???
