The Billionaire's Stepdaughter

012

Anna was still on cloud nine after her weeklong trip with Nicolas. He was sweet even sweeter more than before towards her. She softly knocked on the wooden double doors. She opened one and peeked in. "Nicolas?" she asked. She scanned the vast office. It was tastefully decorated with mostly wooden furniture and two brown leather sofas. In the middle was a huge mahogany desk with a green lamp and several papers scattered. She spotted Nicolas sitting on a dark brown wingback leather chair behind the desk. He playfully smirked at her and motioned for her to come closer.

She sat on his lap while his right arm supported her back. He kissed the nape of her neck and nibbled on her lobe. "Mon amour" he whispered against her neck. "Shouldn't I lock the door first Nicolas? What if a maid accidentally came in?" She asked. "Do not worry, mon amour, all my employees are loyal to me and if they are not, I pay them too well otherwise." He grinned.

She rested her hand on his shoulder and just when she was leaning closer to kiss him, the door suddenly flung open with a very angry Mathieu standing at the door. His anger quickly diminished at the sight before him. "U-uncle?" he questioned. He turned his eyes onto the girl sitting on his uncle's lap. "A-Anna... Anna? What the hell!"

Nicolas hissed at him. Anna instantly jumped out of Nicolas' lap, tears springing from her eyes. Nicolas abruptly stood up and screamed at Mathieu "GET OUT!"

Mathieu looked at a sobbing Anna and at a furious Nicolas. Nicolas screamed at him again before he hesitantly left the room, slamming the door shut.

Nicolas inhaled deeply before looking at Anna. He stepped closer to her which only made her step back from him. Nicolas knew once more how it felt to have his heart torn into a million pieces. He forcibly hugged her. She struggled against him, her arms pushing him away but he was too strong. "No! Nicolas! No!" Nicolas pressed her against his chest and kissed her passionately. His kiss filled with love and anxiety.

"Nicolas, we shouldn't! We have to sto..."

"No, Anna! Don't even think about it!"

"B-But Nicolas, we can't anymore! Mathieu saw... he'll tell."

"I'll talk to him, mon amour so please... I beg you stop your tears" Nicolas kissed her eyes and licked her tears away. He embraced her once more, tighter this time. He would protect her, he wouldn't let anyone and he meant anyone to take her away from him.
