Chapter Four

ARIANA

“You look really flushed.” Oliver said, the moment I opened the door and he looked at me. Jeez. I had fanned myself continuously with my hands for the fifteen seconds it had taken me to get the door.

It hadn’t worked.

“I’m just hungry, Oliver.” I replied, taking the brown paper bag that contained my lunch from him. The aroma from the bag was enough to make my stomach growl in anticipation. “You are my savior. Literally.” I said, taking a whiff from the bag which was warm in my hands, before going to my table to get some cash. I was trying hard to distract myself from the situation I was, and it wasn't working.

“Oh, please.” He said, waving me off and putting his hands in his pocket as he looked around.

“Where’s Ava?” I asked as I pulled out the bills from my purse. Ava was the one who usually brought any meal from Oliver, to my office.

“She’s downstairs waiting for me. She was supposed to deliver these to you by herself, but someone came in and she got called to the side.” Oliver explained, taking the bills from my outstretched hands and saying a 'thank you', before placing then in his pockets.

“Oh, okay then. Thank you so much.” I told him, smiling at him. He scrunched his nose, but smiled back.

Ava's boyfriend was as sweet amd kind as she was. They were a perfect match. So much sugar in the relationship.

If only they could spare one Mr Alexander some sugar….urghh!

“You’re welcome, Miss Ramirez. Anytime.” He said, before making his way out of my office. I had complained a lot of times to him amd Ava to address me with my first name, but they had both refused. So I had give up.

I collapsed on the door with my back, the moment it closed behind Oliver. That was close. If Oliver hadn't left the time he did, my knees would have given out, from the nervousness I was feeling. And he would have seen me.

Throughout the time Oliver had been in my office, I had been trying my best not to freak out. It had been far from easy. Especially with Alexander being next door.

Now that Oliver had left, and I was in my office alone, I couldn’t help the trail of thoughts that filled my mind.

If he hadn’t knocked, I would have very well been kissing Alexander Christos. And my, my, what a kiss it would have been.

My Greek billionaire.

Yikes! He wasn’t mine.

But he had brushed those soft lips of his against mine, ever so lightly. In fact, as my fingers reached for my lips, I couldn’t help but feel as if his lips were still brushing against mine.

His cologne….so…male.

My nipples tightened, rubbing against the lace of my bra. The sensation shot arousal downwards, straight to my center. And I gasped at the sudden feel of heat as it popped between my thigh.

No man had ever made me get aroused, just by thinking about him.

No man..

Was he in his office thinking about me?

Was he having the same fantasies as I was?

I felt like I was in a daze as different fantasies of Alexander played in my head. Shit. My cheeks tingles as I blushed, trying hard to control my wayward thoughts from going too far.

“Get yourself together, Anne!” I scolded myself, pushing my weak self away from the door. I blinked severally as I walked back to my desk.

Maybe if I ate, I would stop thinking about him. I was hungry anyway..

It’s not like I hadn’t found him attractive before. I had. But we had just crossed a thin line, by going so close to each other.

What annoyed me the most was how he had disappeared and behaved like it was all me. And in the end, I had looked like a fool to him.

No! I was not going to be aroused by Alexander Christos. He was a no go area.

Only, the wetness in between my thighs mocked me, as I took a sit, slowly.

ALEXANDER

I paced around my office, completely pissed at myself. What had I been thinking crossing that line with her earlier?

I had just shown her that I was attracted to her.

At one point I had been so angry at her for what she had done concerning Darren. And the next thing I knew, I had her backed up against the bookshelf in her office.

If that knock hadn’t come at the time he did, I would have had my lips on hers, amd my hands buried deep into her curly mass of black hair!

Fuck!

I had messed up real bad. And it was something I couldn’t even undo. And even if I could, I found out that I didn’t want to.

The way her soft lips had brushed against mine..

My cock stired I’m my pants…slowly filling up with blood…

The way her breasts had brushed against my chest so lightly and deliciously…

I had almost leaned into her then and…

I jumped as someone knocked on my door, tearing me away from my thoughts.

I immediately rushed to sit behind my desk, because one look at the huge bulge in my pants, and whoever that was behind that door was going to look at me differently forever.

“Come in,” he said, with a slightly shaky voice.

I was aroused.

And it was all Ariana’s fault.

The door opened, amd one of my assistants, Tyler, wakes inside, holdin a file. “Good day, Sir.” I nodded, answering him with a low grunt. “Miss Ramirez asked me to drop these files for you.” He said, placing the file on the table where I gestured to.

Why had she sent those documents through my personal assistant?

Was it because of what had just happened?

“Thank you Tyler.” I said, trying hard to smile, but it came out pretty forced. Tyler nodded and was about to leave when I stopped him. “When is the next meeting scheduled for me today?” I asked politely. Tyler was a great person and I loved working with him and my other assistant, Ryan.

He looked at his wristwatch. “It’s in forty minutes , sir.” He said, bringing his hand down amd staring at me.

“Thank you, again, Tyler.” I told him, and he nodded, before leaving my office.

At least I hadn’t drooled and forgotten about my meeting with one of our major investors. The problem was, I was going to that meeting with Ariana.

I wondered whether she was going to agree or she was going to decline. Which ever way, it didn’t stop me from feeling nervous.
