Tempting

We should stop I whisper as his arm wrap around my body tightly pulling me impossibly close. Do you really want me to stop Annette? No i softly moan Jade clouding my mind with lust and want. His hand starts wandering my body and a fire trails in it's places, his phone buzzes and that gives me a moment to gain control of myself. Fixing my hair and straighting my over sized clothes I sit and watch as he answers his phone abruptly. What, he barks and his eyes settle on me and his anger seems to disolve he watches me and listens to the person on the other end while undressing me with his eyes or remembering what he already seen.

Trying to snap myself out of this consuming lust, I stand and walk to his balcany taking in the view. Its beautiful wild flower stretch for miles in a wide open field, leaning against the balcany amazed and refreshed at the sight. He must have finished his conversation without  me noticing and came and stood beside me. Nice view, I whisper trying to forget about our passionate kiss. It is a lovely view but I think the view I have is better. My eyes meet his and I exhale the breath I was holding he glides closer, and I glide back stopping anything from happenind. You should probably take me home know my eyes fall back to the ground and I sigh. He straightens his posture, and pulls away clearing his throat. Yeah ok, let me change into some clothes and I will take you home. He exits the balcony, and I peek at his back his shoulders wide and broad muscels riping as he walks making my folds moisten.

Pull yourself together Annette, You cant fall for him. I exit the balcany and make my way down stairs taking in his lovely home, all coverd in darkness black and red everywhere. Finding his fire place i find the mural that hangs on the wall a solitary portrait of Javier. The ruthless Javier the one who reminds me of why Im leaving. I  still as I hear him coming down the stairs and I exit the den. He makes his way down the stairs all set he asks as he glances at the room behind me and I nod and he leads me to the car opening the door as I enter.

We sit in the backseat of his car the silence stretching between us. when he looks up at me and smiles he starts a conversation. I like the you from last night, so carefree and loose speaking your mind with your no-bullshit policy. It was kinda hot and as we both know you were absolutely beautiful yesterday evening. Turning he faces me a little, I'd like to do that again with you sometimes. I blush and he chuckles, although ratbwould be great too I was actually talking about the date.

I smile remembering the goddess that stood before me last night, all my curves in all the right places and never seeing them show until last night. Thanks, for dinner and taking care of me last night. Sorry we had to cut it short. It was my pleasure and it wasn't so bad I did get to sleep with a beautiful girl after all. I smile and shrink into myself he made that sound a lot different his voice just above a whisper. Sitting upbi look to the front seat adthen back to him.

Sleep was all we did correct? looking at him through my lashes a smile stretches across his face. Why would you think other wise he ask his eye gleaming with something wicked. I woke up in your bed in your arms with barely a piece of clothing between the two of us weaved together as one. Nothing happened between us you said you weren't feeling well so I carried you home and called over my private doctor. Him and his assistant needed you undressed to check you over. I did undress you he clears his throat and my gaze catches his but that is all. The Doctor thinks your malnutrition comes from not eating properly which could cause headaches and fainting spells. Your underweight, do they feed you over there. What's your diet like?

His look becomes stern. I eat what I can scratch up most times, she makes supper for them only and when I'm doing the cooking I sneak taste here or there. Not knowing why I just told this stranger that, knowing it's just part of the plan I play damsel in distress. Realizing that the car is still driving, what part of town are we in not recognizing my surroundings. I don't stay in town, I stay right outside of it near the mountains. Just as he says that. We past the most beautiful view of mountains my eyes have ever seen. The way the light of the sun hits off of them illuminates his complexion and his eyes making him a little to tempting!

I look away quickly and peek at the driver in front glad of the reminder we're not alone. That's not good, why do you stay with them? There the only family I have.If there was someone else who you could call family would you allow them to help you? I never think about those kinds of dreams, if there was someone out there who cared it would have happened by now. So I don't care to think of what-ifs. He looks at me likes he want's to say something more but he dosen't he sits back in his seat and my phone rings.  Realizing it only ever rings when I'm being summoned by my stepmother.

Swallowing I answer waiting for her voice to boom. Instead what happened shocked me more. Good morning my dear was just calling to find out when we can expect you home. Looking at the time it's just after ten. I'm headed there now although I'm not sure of how long it could take. Peeking at Javier who looks to his watch, may I his sultry voice asks and my heart does that fluttering thing it does when ever he uses that tone on me. Passing the phone I watch as he starts up the conversation we are about 30 minutes away.

I was wondering if you didn't require her attention immediately if I could have the pleasure of taking her to brunch. He looks at me as he tells her, we will see you after noon. With that he hands my phone back to me. Our you up for a little breakfast? I could eat, I smile shyly still looking forward his eyes beginning to make my body heat up in ways I never felt before. He notices my actions and pulls my hand Into his, he turns it upwards showing my palm. My breath hitches as I feel his soft lips on my hand placing a single kiss in the middle of my palm.

He closes my hand and places it back next to me. I'm not sure how but the flutters almost disappear making me calmer. I smile at the scenery when things I know finally come into view, including IHOP. I smile as the driver turns into the parking lot. He gets out of the car and comes to open my door. I hope you got an appetite I laugh even if I didn't I would still eat. He chuckles that's good to know he holds my hand as we enter. I look down at his strong hand wrapped around mines. So warm so gentle as if I was delicate and precious.

We take a seat and order quickly he watches my eyes light up as the food feels the table. Pancakes, bacon, eggs, sausages, ham orange juice, and coffee. Everything looking scrumptious I dig in and boy is it good. He smiles watching me eat. I want to be closer to you, I want to get to know you and maybe we can be each other's family. Why would you want something like that I have nothing to offer? Well either way it's what I want is this something we can work at.

Looking at him skeptically my eyes meet his with a mouth full of eggs. I don't mind it really I say noticing the way his tempo changes after my earlier question. Look I'm not sure why the sudden interest and the many gestures have not gone unnoticed. If I know the dukes the way I think I do there's a reason for everything now tell me are you ready to be honest with me? Family should always tell the truth even if you don't like it, it should still be told.

Ok! Agreed, what are you asking me Annette be specific with your questions if you wish to receive the whole truth. Why the sudden interest in the dukes? My interest was never in any of the dukes. They have something of value of mine that was lost. Why didn't you just force them to hand it over give you what was yours? It's not so simple, a plan Of deception caused deceit and hatred and death in order to protect it a long time ago Im doomed to wait for the strength and courage of trust.Why would you send away  something of such value?

At the time it was selfishness but it's my hope once things are revealed things will fall into place. I've been on a long journey that has finally come to an end. So what is it that was stolen and sent away  that took so long for you to track down, and how can you make it believe or trust you even if you find such an item. Thinking the duke's doesn't have many things of value especially something of rare beauty. That's a different story for another time he says finishing his coffee and I finish my hot chocolate leaving behind a cute little whip cream mustache.

Adorable he chides wiping it from my mouth as I knock his hand away, stop that I'm not a baby I wipe the remainder off, you certainly are not his eyes flicker across my flesh again and heat follows its trail. not sure what is happening I excuse myself to the bathroom splashing some water on my flushed face. I look different read I'm not even sure how but I just see it and feel it happening inside of me. What kinda treasure do they hold that could keep a man like Javier in their mist and mines. 

Exciting I hear him finishing his conversation. Please get the cottage ready near the water and stick it with essential things so she isn't in need when she arrive. My mood takes a nose dive he is here asking me out wining and dining me but he has another. Stepping before him I clear my throat. He looks up and I look away I would like to go home know I whisper head to the ground. He jumps from his seat what's wrong is everything ok he scans me over I'm fine I shrink away from his touch turning on heels I go outside needing the cool fresh air. He drops some cash on the table and stalks out after me.

Not waiting for him to open the door I climb in and shut it, he walks slowly to the car as his gaze penetrates the window I can fill his eyes all over me heated and searching. I pull my phone from my pocket and begin to fake busy to not have a conversation with him. All this talk about him wanting to be my family, and it seems he might already have someone in his heartA few moments pass and he comes back to me, I actually won't have any free time for the next few weeks after checking my schedule, so maybe shoot me a text and if I'm free I will answer. Did I do something, Annette? Why are you behaving so rashly towards me? You have done nothing I was forgetting myself and getting comfortable. That won't happen again.

The car pulls in front of the house and I won't to jump out immediately but two strong hands grip my arms hauling me back. Excuse us his voice reached the drivers ear and he leaps from the car walking a small distance away. Talk to me Annette what's wrong tell me. Looking at the roof of the car I count to ten and let my feelings settle. I might have heard the end of a conversation that upset me. I know I have no rights to get mad and I'm angry with myself for not being able to control it, it's not like your mines.Yours, he repeats yeah I know silly right, there's nothing silly about that.

I can see me being yours and you being mine. What was it that you heard exactly. Just for someone to make sure the cottage by was ready and furnished by the end of this month stating your love will soon be returning home. Not that it concerns me but I'm not in the league to third wheel it I've never had someone to call mines and I'm sure she isn't in a league of sharing either. This is me putting distance between us, is that all that stands in our way he asks his voice soft as silk commanding me to look at him.

Our eyes meet and in them I swear I see the strangest things this time a wolf like figure appearing in his stark green eyes. He clears his throat and begin. In the next few weeks, I will be traveling abroad for a few months. I have some matters that need settling before I can continue here, I wanted to meet you before I left because when I return my true journey will begin. I do hope to be yours and if a man can dream i figure you're the perfect vision.

He leans in one hand rested on my hips the other behind my head pulling me into a kiss one I'm not going to fight against. I let his lips lead me coaxing mines apart gently giving me a sparks of lightning in every zap. He kisses me hungrily his lips devouring mines I pull away when I'm breathless his eyes as dark as the night mines he growls and a little voice in my head claims him. “Mate” I jump not knowing what it was but the voice definitely not of my own am I going crazy. 

“Mate” his voice answered the one in my head and I was still. Did I say that out loud. He straightens himself and reigns in his lust. Think about my offer! Over the next few weeks if you need anything you should contact my assistant if you are not able to reach me. You can call me at anytime day or night. With that the door opens and he comes and take my hand walking me to the door I see the curtains close and my eyes shoot back to his. Until next time Annette he leans down placing a soft kiss at the corner of my lips.

With that he turns walking back to his car whistling he gets the driver attention and they enter the car together driving off into the distance the door opens and there stands the family all looking at me expectantly.  Good afternoon I greet running pass them to my room, haulting when I notice all of my things are gone.
