Stepping into the unknown.

Meeting Again.

"Miss Astraea. I assumed that you would prefer to go alone to the meeting so I will give you the papers to get you through it. I normally give it but I believe that it would be better if Laura does and so she will be called in. You won't be able to have your training until I manage to call her and arrange a time. Until then you can refer to the book for help. I know that you know this book cover to cover though." Mr Link never gave up on something that had grown to be a tradition. It broke my heart that I had done that to him.

"Mr Link. Are we alone?" He didn't look away from me for a second before nodding. His eyes glancing at the right of me. Where Mr Belmont had been only a few months before.

Before I could properly take in the room I had let my eyes glanced over it and then I walked up to his phone. The blue button was pressed so no calls could be heard and the door was closed. I knew that it was an ability of Mr Link to silence the room to even the most sensitive hearers.

"Could you silence the room?" He nodded and let his hand lift. It was then clenched into a fist and he was looking hesitantly at me. Nothing being spoken as I watched him for a whole minute.

"This morning my sister came to visit me. You were present when she called me. You see, Melody may be the youngest but she is also the wisest and bravest in the whole world. That is why I love her. She is currently doing something that will scare her but she promised not to be scared and I promised that even in a million years she would not be hurt. After this promise was made Mel told me that all I had said was true. Not just about what she is doing but also about you. I had so many rules that I relied on people sneaking past my guard and yet you didn't want to sneak past any of my counterproductive and unnecessary guards. You told me that you wanted me for me and if I am honest. That scares me more than breaking my rules. I haven't been told that by a man before and felt like he actually believed it. Not until you said it. Apollo. For the past two years I have wanted you but stopped myself because to you all I could ever be was a subordinate that you might have a drunken fling with. I now know that your body is unable to get more than tipsy so when you were at my house you were with it more than I realised and yet you never spoke of the things I mentioned to Rachel on the phone." He had watched me as I stood at the door. My back to it and I felt my palms grow to be clammy and not their normal softness.

"What are you telling me Enyo?" With that I brought my back from the door, double checking that I had indeed locked it and then I walked to him. If we were seen it would be suggested that I had slept my way to the top.

Slowly I drew close to him and ran my hands below his suit jacket and down his arms. The jacket was an object in the way of my hands feeling his body to the fullest and so when he let me take it off I hung it up on the back of his chair. Just like how he did it when I watched him. Then I pulled the chair back a little as my eyes ate in his outfit. His eyes also glancing over all that I was. He wore a blue suit with a white shirt, braces to keep his trousers up and a blue bowtie. A pair of brown shoes stuck to his feet. The shirt was moved as his muscles tensed with my every move on him.

My black dress had a low lying neck line and a rose gold necklace fell to my cleavage. The dress hit my thighs, a little high and I wore matching lace under it all. I hadn't dressed to woo him but it had worked out well. My earrings even matching my necklace as well as my black glasses. All of this was watched so closely by Apollo that I was sure he was about to say something about it. Probably point out all of my flaws that made him unattractive to him.

Those thoughts left my head as I let my left knee fall to one side of his chair and then my right fell onto his chair as well. My hands finding their way to his shoulders where I waited. I was looming over him and as I watched his eyes flicked from my eyes to my lips and down to my chest and legs.
"I'm telling you that I want you." My red lips gave a gentle brush against his ears as I spoke closely. My body still a fair distance from his.
