LOVE TO TEASE

Chapter 14 ( That's it??)

(Kiara's POV)

William slightly shoves me towards the chairs and grunts, walk. While the man and I continue to hold one another gaze.

"Sorry for being late", the man says, still staring at me, the rich Amber in his eyes visible even from across the room. They look like torches in the woods.
"No, it's fine."

"I really appreciate your kindness". His voice sends chills over my entire body, deep and as smooth as molasses.
William says something, I guess arguing with him for being late, but I can barely even hear what he's saying. I'm too busy watching the fellow who's watching me.

The way he's looking at me is making me feel something I've never felt before, studious, secretly delighted. He's not looking at me the way most of the man look at a woman, it's something else. Like I'm some sort of mystery to him.

He's looking at me like I'm a riddle to be decoded. A puzzle that was just placed in front of him for solving.

Is he the new special actor?

Willam stop bickering, Willam and I settled down on chair's, but nobody says nothing.

I'm suddenly feeling extremely vulnerable, exposed and I'm not sure why. The way he's wordlessly gazing at me is bringing a strange heat to my cheeks. I swallow hard and look down at my heels.

What's going on here? I don't care if he's the new actor....but why am I reacting this why?
It must be because he's gorgeous. And I mean, like, crazy, stupid beautiful.

He's quite taller than me and obviously thickly muscled. The way his navy-blue button down shirt is draped around him, stretched across his broad shoulders and sliding down his torso, tucked into tailored pants ans fastened with a black belt around his waist.....

He looks very professional. Dapper. Less like a actor and more of an investment banker..... don't judge me I'm comparing his fasion style to William's and William's fashion was like...... let's not start that topic.
But him just standing over there, large hand griping that file....

When my eyes slide back up to his face, I find him no longer looking at me. He's reading something inside the file with that impressed looks on his face. It sticks in my throat. That's the project file we send him in morning and he's reading it right now.

But is he impressed by me or not?

I blink hard. Why am I second guessing myself?? I shouldn't care this much. Why do I feel like I need to impress this guy?

Attempting to be subtle, I keep watching him while he leafs through the papers, ignoring my presence completely. My eyes scan his charming face, smooth fair complexion, facial hair perfectly trimmed along a very sharp jaw, and these immaculate shoulder-length dreadlocks tied back in a half-ponytail of sorts. Full lips pursed into an impressed line while he reads.

My teeth sink into my lower lip. Look at me. please, please, look at me again.

His eyes fling to mine once more. Just briefly. A split second before they fall back to the file in his hands. But it was enough to make my stomach jump. I open my mouth as if to say something, but I have no idea what it should be.

When my eyes slide back up to William's face, he's glaring at me, and his facial expressions clearly screaming 'No' to me. And I know that was a bad idea but I can't help it, the way he's ignoring me is making my stomach upside down.

"I'm hoping you already read the file we send you with Mr. Sean". Louis says, oh right he was here too.
"No, give me a minute", I mumble.
"Ok, no problem. Take your time."

Wait, WTF is that....

"Excuse me! What is this supposed to mean?" I asked in confusion.
"Well these are supposed to be terms and condition from Harvey's side". Louis said with his all knowing smile.

"For your information mister, I'm not gonna follow your these stupid terms and condition you're the one who's going to follow mine terms and condition. Got it? And if you have any problem then you can leave . Pleasing you is not my business. Sorry."

"Listen ma'am". Louis says hesitantly, "Harvey can't leave office for five days...."
"I'm okay with that". He cuts Louis off, his eyes still on mine. "Contract please".

It takes Louis a moment to calm himself and process his boss words. But then he nod.
"Okay do whatever you want Harvey. But I'm not coming with you".

"Okay, if something happened it's all on you then".
"Seriously.......fuck", Louis cursed under his breath. "Okay I'm in too".

"Here...the contract", I speak quietly and look at his face.

"Done", he signed contract and passes towards me. And lean back to his chair and mumble to Louis, "All set then let's go".

That's it??

My stomach plummets in disappointment. I don't know why, but I don't want to leave yet, atleast introduce yourself to me or ask about me?

"Wait you don't have any questions.... I mean some project related discussion you want to do". I asked his while he look at me with those Amber eyes.

"No it's all clear to me. That's a pleasure to meet you Mrs....."
"Oh it's Kiara, and the pleasure is all mine."
I held out my hand.

A beat passed before he took it. Warm strength engulfed my plam and sent a jolt of electricity up my arm.
I can't even comprehend how my body reacting to touching him. It feels like I'm on fire. And his hand is so wide. Rugged, but still soft enough for me to imagine how it might feel in other places......

No...... Kiara Stop it . Focus on work please.
