You will belong to me

"Then things did not go as planned?" He was already predicting what happened next. 

She nodded in affirmation, her face turning white. 

He had to fight the urge to walk towards her and comfort her. He walked to the bar on the left side of his office to fix himself a drink. He turned to her when he heard her voice.

"Yes, that is what happened per say," she said, running her left hand over her neck. The movement is so innocent yet sensual.

"What did James do?" he asked, moving to the front of the desk and leaning against it while taking a sip from his glass.

Her lips quiver as if she were in pain. 

"James was not doing the business he had said he was. He took money from some of his friends and gambled it in hopes of earning more, but he lost all the money. Now his so-called friends want their money back as well as the people he lost to if not-"

"Friends? Does he know this his so called friends personal? Where did he meet them?" Sometimes the people you view as friends do not see you then same way, especially when it is a secret business you are into.

"I believe he met them doing one of his trips to the bar; I doubt he knows them personally," she said with a sad look on her face.

"What is he into??"

"He is a ceramic artist, a creative one at that. He said that he was making custom pieces for clients." She examines the painting of the Mona Lisa that was hung up at the far corner of the office, a faraway look on her face. 

"But in reality, he was using the studio that I am paying for to hold meetings, gamble more, and sell elf powder."

Xavier was in shock; elf powder was a supernatural drug that one can easily be addicted to. It is known to be sold by vampyres and elves.

Both the vampyres and elves were dangerous, tricky and territorial creatures. They only see humans as playthings, not as friends.

"He ran into trouble with his friends, I believe."

As Xavier gaze fell on her, he could see the sadness and uncertainty on her face.

 Her full pink lips were so inviting, looking so soft, all he wanted to do was have a taste to see if it was as soft as it looked.

"I don't have the amount of money they are asking for. The money or his corpse is what they said.

She shifted in her seat, her gaze still on him. The look on her face was as if she was begging him to understand.

"I have some money saved up, a business. Xavier, you can take it all. Please help me. I can work for you until the debt is paid for as long as it takes, please.

"I have no desire to take your property or money."

The little glim of hope she had died at his words.

"Oh, I see," she said, nodding her head. 

He could see her recoiling as if to pull back or retreat to herself.

"Alright, thank you for seeing me, I will be on my way."

She stood up from her seat and headed towards the door.

He was impressed by how strong she was. He felt like a jerk but shrugged it off.

After keeping tabs on her from a distance for years, dreaming about her, and now he had her right where he wanted her. That is at his mercy.

"There is something I want, and you have it."

She stopped, her fingers already on the golden doorknob and turned to look at him.

"What? I do? As far as I know, those are the only things of value that I own."

He stepped away from the desk, moving towards her. stopping in front of her, only a few inches was between them.

She stared at his chest, her gaze not meeting his, which made him frustrated. 

All he wants to do is get lost in those captivating eyes. He slowly cupped her face in his palm, tilting her head back. She did not withdraw from him when his skin came in contact with her which made him happy.

"Look at me," he said to her, his voice low and husky.

When her gaze finally met his, he was satisfied. He had always wanted to touch her, be near her, and now that he was, he could not be more happy.

"You are what I want. You."

He could see the wheels turning in her head as she tried to grasp the meaning of his words.

"I don't understand."

He let out a low laugh, turning his face away from her.

Her lack of experience amused him. For as long as he can remember, he has always had an obsession with her, and he could not believe that she did not notice.

"Annette, what do you think is the meaning of what I said?"

Her face heated, and her gaze fell back to his chest as if she could not meet his gaze. 

Her action shows that she totally understands what he meant. 

In order to make things clear, he leans towards her, his voice low as he speaks into her ear.

"I will help James resolve his gambling and elf powder problems, and in return, you will belong to me. Your body will be mine until I say otherwise."
