Enemies in Love

Chapter 14

Misaki was the envy of all the single women present. She had been dancing with the host for almost four songs. Every now and then she would catch him looking down instead of up. He'd quickly catch himself and smile at her. If she was able to, she would have hurt him for being a pervert. Sadly, she couldn't act on her emotions. As a professional cop, she'd have to control her desires and face the task at hand.

"You know, I didn't catch your name," Hikata said as he kept his eyes on Misaki.

"It's Ayumi," Misaki replied.

"Ayumi...A beautiful name to match a beautiful woman."

"I feel flattered with Hikata-san's compliments."

"Allow me to shower you with more compliments. Let's go to my room and continue talking there, shall we?"

"Lead the way Hikata-san," Misaki replied with a smile.

Hikata was staying in room 410. It was a spacious room with a queen sized bed that was covered in elegant white sheets. The paintings hanging on the walls and the table that held a bottle of Champaign and glasses were the next few items that Misaki noticed.

Where could that gem be...? Misaki wondered. Without realizing it, Hikata had wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. It caused a shiver to run up her spine.

"I find you very attractive Ayumi. Wondering how you look without this dress on is driving me crazy."

"Hikata-san, we shouldn't be in such a rush!" Misaki replied in a somewhat panicked voice. It didn't feel right being so close to another man that wasn't Hei. She hadn't even gone further with the man she loved, so she definitely wasn't going to do anything with a man she hardly knew.

"Women are usually eager to be in my bed. Why are you not?"

"I'd rather we drink some Champaign before we do anything else. The night is still young."

"Ayumi, you're becoming a bore. If I misunderstood your intentions then I'll just go find someone else."

Crap!

If she lost Hikata's interest then she wouldn't be able to look for the gem. She couldn't let the plan be ruined.

"Please don't! I'm just a little shy, but I'm okay now. I really do want to be with you Hikata-san!"

"I was hoping you'd say that," Hikata said as he moved his lips close to Misaki's neck, "Let's move to the bed."

With her heart racing, Misaki slowly made her way towards the bed with Hikata right behind her. Moving onto the bed, Misaki felt like kicking the guy in his most private area and body slamming him to the ground. Unfortunately for her, he was skilled in martial arts from what November 11 told her. She was also skilled, but there was no telling how it'd go and who would win. So for the sake of the plan, Misaki laid herself down while Hikata hovered over. It didn't take long for him to place his lips on her neck and trail kisses down it.

What should I do...?

Filled with uncertainty and worry, Misaki stayed motionless with her eyes closed shut. How far would she be able to go until she blew her cover? She couldn't let this guy be her first...No, she wouldn't allow that. As if someone had heard her silent plea, Hikata's cell phone started to ring. He moved away from Misaki in obvious annoyance and answered it.

"What is it? ...Can't you entertain him for a while? I'm a little busy at the moment...Alright fine, I'll be there." Hanging up the phone Hikata turned his attention back on Misaki. "It looks like I'm needed, but don't worry I'll be back in a few minutes."
