CHAPTER TWO: REEKING OF INNOCENCE

She could be a minor.

Probably some adventurous one wanting to test the waters. That's it. She's definitely a minor, she looked so young. So innocent and yet alluring. 

No, he didn't think she was a minor. She had radiated that innocence but not like a minor or so he thought. Was he seeing things? Was it the situation he had found her in? Or was it a combination of both. Whatever it was, it sure had endeared her to him. 

Jaxon stood at his penthouse veranda and gazed at the lights that never seemed to go out in Vegas as he sipped a bottle of cold beer. He chuckled softly as he remembered her surprised face when he had revealed that he was her boss. Her eyes had been as wide and round as saucers as her lush lips shaped into an O. Her golden-colored hair had been tied up in a bun, but he guessed that when let down it would fall to her shoulders. Perhaps a bit down to her back. 

He knew any lady, whether minor or adult, would have leaned back and stretched, offering him an unrestricted view, striking a pose and smiling a smile calculated to tantalize and excite. She had managed to excite him either way, and he wanted to see her again. 

Roxanne kept juggling staying with her Aunt Linda at the hospital to nurse her father and going to the club at night to perform. For countless nights, she would catch glimpses of the man that had claimed to be her boss. The fact that she had asked Freddy about it, and he had confirmed it was what shocked her. 

He would smile at her and would occasionally wink at her. She felt naked under his gaze each time she caught him staring too hard. There was something about him that was pulling and endangering at the same time. 

"Here you go, girlie." Freddy tossed her a can of water as she got off stage. Roxanne gulped the water pretty fast. 

"Hi, there. Good evening." A petite red haired lady approached her holding a bouquet of flowers. 

"Good evening." Roxanne looked at the lady with the flowers. 

"Someone asked to give you this." She handed her the bouquet. 

"Who?" Roxanne examined the bouquet and the lady's smiling face. 

"He didn't say. He just said to give it to you." 

Roxanne collected the bouquet and examined it. A small note was tucked between the flowers. She opened the note and it read ;

"Nice waist chain. I love it. Lunch tomorrow by noon."   The note also held the name of the restaurant she was to meet this gifter. 

"Secret admirer, already? Girl, I need me some of ya magic." Tessa, one of the girls she had gotten to like said to her as she walked past her. Tessa had a honey brown skin tone and full hair. 

"Those look expensive." She added as she eyed the flowers. 

Roxanne's mind raced as she thought of who the sender could be. 

She got ready the next day by noon and had chosen to wear a simple floral green dress that stopped just at her knee. Her hair was tied up in a tight bun. 

The restaurant was exquisite and she had been shown a private table area after showing them the card as instructed by the sender.  The area was secluded from the rest.  

Roxanne didn't order anything. She waited for a few minutes but there was no sign of the said person. She took out her phone and began to text her aunt. 

" Hello, there. Have you been waiting long?" Roxanne recognized the rich baritone. She looked up, her blue eyes meeting his hazel greens. She was sure his face had been tattooed on her brain after the first encounter. 

Jaxon sat on a chair opposite her. His male scent and aura dominated everywhere. Even the air stopped around her. This man was a walking flame. 

"You sent the flowers?" She asked him. 

"Aren't you going to say hello to your boss first, Roxanne?" The name rolled out of Jaxon's tongue effortlessly. It sounded exquisite to her ears. She had never loved her name better. 

"Um... Hello, Sir." Roxanne stuttered as his gaze stayed fixed on her with his half smile. 

"Now that's better. How about we order something and talk about my proposal." He winked at her and raised his hand, motioning for a waiter. 

"What proposal?" Roxanne asked as she eyed him. He was wearing a sweatshirt on jeans. Even casual looked classy on him, she thought. 

" One that would benefit us both." He replied amidst placing orders for wine and salad. Roxanne ordered some salad too. 

The waiter was fast with bringing their orders. 

"What? You want me to be your mistress?" Roxanne couldn't believe his guts after he told her the details of his proposal.

"You sound like it's the end of the world, Roxanne. It's going to be beneficial, If you can go through the papers, you'll find that the terms are negotiable." Jaxon had a smirk plastered on his face. No lady had ever refused his offer. Roxanne's blue eyes scanned the papers.

"This is ridiculous, Mr Hearst, Sir. I can't live with you, I have my father to take care of. This is outrageous." Roxanne's face was turning red both from embarrassment and rage. 

"Like I said, the terms are negotiable.  I'll be paying you the same amount I pay my club workers every week. Think of how that would go a long way. I'll also cover your father's medical bills. I know he's in urgent need of a heart transplant." Roxanne was suddenly irritated. 

"How do you know about my father?" She asked him with her eyebrow raised. 

"Nevermind that. Just think about it." He winked at her. Jaxon was getting impatient with her but he wasn't going to show it. He wanted her, and he was going to have her. 

"Why do you want me? Why not some other person in the club?" Roxanne probed. 

"Well, you tickle my fancy. You need me more than I need you." He replied with a smug. His arrogance seemed to annoy Roxanne more. 

"When you do agree, I'd need to see your birth certificate." 

"Whatever for?" 

"Just to be sure you are not a minor." His eyes were boring into her now.

"I am twenty-four." 

"Well, let's see that birth certificate when you finally decide." He gulped down the remnants of his wine. Jaxon saw Roxanne bite down on her lower lip in confusion. That innocent look that had reeled him in, was playing on her face again. 

"You have fine lips, Roxanne. I'm sure they'd do wonders." He smiled mischievously. Roxanne's face flushed with embarrassment as she picked on the other meaning of his compliment. 

" I hope you decide soon, Roxanne." He winked at her as he walked away from their lunch spot. 

Roxanne looked around to see if anyone had been listening to their conversation and was satisfied to see that everyone seemed to be minding their own business. Grabbing her purse, she also left the restaurant. 

__________________________________

Jaxon emerged from the pool. The night was fine. It only lacked one thing to make it perfect. 

The woman.

Not Loo whose curvaceous body laid sprawled by the pool, inviting any man to have a bite. 

The innocent one. 

 Her eyes rivaled the blue of the sea. Or was it the sky? Her lips looked sweet and her innocent eyes held a glint of stubbornness. She could not be rushed, but he was going to have her. 

Roxanne had already made up her mind as she scattered her small apartment in search of her birth certificate and other documents he might need. 

"All for Papa." She said to herself.

    "I see you changed your mind." The husky baritone startled her. The restaurant had been empty, save for one waiter who only gave her a glass of water and went on his way. Jaxon had appeared to be coming from the back. His sudden arrival changed the scent of the place. The smell of food was overtaken by him. Roxanne turned to face him. He was wearing a very casual yet classy outfit of a grey tee shirt and jeans with an expensive-looking leather jacket. She began to question herself if she was underdressed. It was just to sign some blasted papers. His eyes never left her face as he sat down. He wondered if she always held her beautiful blonde hair in that annoying bun. Well, that was going to change soon. He thought. "Can we get on with it, Sir? I've got to go to the hospital." She said. " Excited to begin, are we?" His handsome face had a smirk that taunted Roxanne. Roxanne provided her birth certificate to prove that she wasn't a minor and he in turn handed her the papers."Take

    The Woman. Roxanne. Yes, the one that laid on the bed, covered up. Her eyes were shut in a peaceful slumber. All parts of her body had been velvety the way he had imagined. He had touched and tasted her. Her mouth was sweet. Once he had kissed it, he'd wanted to never stop. He had wanted to fully initiate her to his ways but decided to take it slow. She couldn't be rushed, though her response to him was encouraging.He remembered the way her body had softly slammed into his when he touched her nipples, and how her waist had grinded on his groin when he kissed her neck. The notch of her thighs had cushioned his hard arousal and had almost made him go crazy. Then, as now, his hands formed fists as he strove to suppress his desire and maintain control. He clung to it. For to lose control and take her the real way he wanted to, might scare her. For now, he'd let this sexy beauty sleep. With another glance at her rising and falling chest, he strode to the bathroom, with the hope of calm

    "Yes, Princess, just like that." Jaxon lets out a ragged moan as he holds Roxanne's bobbing head in place. Roxanne's mouth is small. Just perfect for him. Roxanne thinks she will suffocate from his length and girth. "I've always wanted your pretty little lips around me." Jaxon says as he throws his head back in pleasure. He knows Roxanne is a novice at this but he is still impressed. Jaxon orders her to get up. Roxanne's eyes are stained from the mascara she was forced to wear at the club. She has a hateful look on her face. "Come on, Princess, don't look at me like that, we are just getting started." Jaxon has a smirk on his face. "This is not fair. " Roxanne sounds defiant. This only makes Jaxon more amused. With one swift move, he turns her around, her back to him. "You sure are a stubborn one." He says as he pulls her hair. She lets out a small gasp. Jaxon moves her hair to side and kisses her neck. "Uhmmm." She moaned. She isn't supposed to enjoy this but her body has a m

    Sia's chandelier blasted from Roxanne's phone, making her groan and begin to feel for the phone. Every part of her was tired. "Hello." She said into the phone. Her eyes adjusted to the room. It was empty. Jaxon must have left after the last round. "Hello, hermana. Are you still asleep? It's nine in the morning." Vivienne's voice was bubbly. " Yeah. It's my off day." Roxanne replies. She stretches herself and yawns into the phone. All she needed now was a warm bubble bath. " I'm taking a late bus. I've got biochem till 1 pm. I hope papa is getting better? Tia told me the surgery has been paid for and he's been moved up the surgery list." Unlike Roxanne, Vivienne could talk on and on. Roxanne listened to her yak about some guy that thought she shouldn't be the project head because she was a girl. "Do not let anyone shut you down. Always stand your ground. You're a Santos!" Roxanne said. "I sure am!" Vivienne laughed. " I'll need extra cash, hermana, por favor." Vivienne's voice b

    Vivienne is seated by the window in the bus. The bus slows down to its station. The Port Authority Bus Terminal. As the bus door swings open, she steps down onto the concrete floor, her eyes scanning the bustling station in search of her sister. Vivienne is the younger version of Roxanne, physically. However, instead of Roxanne's blonde hair, she has their father's dark hair. She adjusts her glasses still trying to locate her sister in the night's crowd. She makes her way through the crowd, her backpack over one shoulder, her sneakers constantly pinching her toes as she walked. She spots a vacant seat, she walks to it and sinks into the worn plastic with a sigh of relief. She takes off her sneakers and rubs her feet. She pulls out her phone, her thumbs flying across the screen as she fires off a text to her sister. "I'm here already, Sis. Where are you? My feet hurts". She clicks send and waits for a response. "You want me to go harder, Pet?" Jaxon asks as he spanks her while

    Roxanne stared at her scattered apartment and sighed. Things were broken and all over the place. She was damp and her mind was still unsettled. She still hadn't been able to reach Viv. "We can't declare her missing till it's twenty-four hours." The pretty police officer had said to her. "Oh Viv! Please be fine! " She prayed silently as she made her way to the room to take off her wet clothes. If only she hadn't been too carried away, too busy working. Or was it satisfying her urges? She couldn't find the line anymore. It was entirely blurred out. She kept staring at her phone, hoping she'd get another text or something. Perhaps someone would call her for ransom if Viv had been kidnapped. "Dear God, please." She prayed. Jaxon paced back and forth in his room. He couldn't get her off his mind. Her blue eyes had turned into burning blue flames. She was angry, yet he could still smell her innocence. It was driving him crazy. He had left Loo and now he was home, turned on with no s

    "Why weren't you at work, princess?" Jaxon repeated the question. He had closed the gap between them. Roxanne tried to speak but nothing came out. "Cat got your tongue?" He taunted. Jaxon towered over her, his gold and green eyes burning her pale blue ones. Her eyes fluttered beneath his gaze, his chiseled features dominating her small one. The air thickened as he leaned in, his presence suffocating, yet tantalizing. She could smell alcohol on his breath, with a mixture of cologne and manliness. Her breath caught in her throat, a tiny gasp escaping her lips. Her skin prickled with gooseflesh, a shiver coursing down her spine. His eyes bore into hers, a hint of amusement dancing in their depths. Her face flushed, a crimson hue spreading like wildfire. She trembled, her knees weakening, as if the ground beneath her feet had turned to sticky mud. His gaze lingered, a slow, deliberate perusal, leaving her feeling exposed, vulnerable... and strangely, alluringly, alive."I..uh...had to

    "Pleased to see you, Princess." Jaxon's face held a smirk while his left hand held a glass of red wine. He was shirtless. Roxanne gulped as her eyes ran his body from head to toe. She was scared of him and at the same time turned on by the air of dominance around him. "Pleased to see you too, Sir." She managed to reply. Jaxon ushered her in. "A glass for the beautiful lady." Jaxon offered her a glass which she took and clutched on it like her life depended on it. Jaxon was a man of little words, so she knew what exactly she must do. She gulped down the wine and made her way upstairs with her overnight bag. "That's a good girl. Going straight to business. I'm right behind you." He said from behind her. Roxanne studied the bedroom. The last time she had been here, he'd made her bend over a table with her legs spread apart with a bar. She wondered what he was going to do to her next. "Hey, Princess!" Jaxon's voice made her jump as he stepped inside the room. His eyes roamed her body

    The doctor smiled as he discharged Roxanne and Chloe from the hospital. "You two be careful, okay? No more sneaky cupcakes."Roxanne laughed, her eyes sparkling. "I promise, doctor. I'll be more careful from now on."The doctor's expression turned serious. "Roxanne, you shouldn't eat things you don't know their full contents, not unless you make them yourself. And I really don't want to see you anytime soon. Try to bring your blood pressure down too."Freddy, holding Roxanne's hand, spoke up. "Don't worry, doctor. I'll make sure she rests and takes all her medications."Jaxon walked quietly behind the group, his eyes fixed on Roxanne. "Thank you for everything, doctor," he said, his voice low.As they reached the parking lot, Roxanne hesitated beside Jaxon's car. "Freddy, maybe we should take a cab," she suggested, her eyes avoiding Jaxon's.But Cynthia, anticipating this, smiled brightly.

    Jordan dressed up in Merida's hotel room, his eyes fixed on her as she lay on the bed, a blanket covering her body. Merida's eyes also roamed his body, a flush coming on her cheeks. Jordan chuckled and winked at her. He asked, "What business brought you here, Merida?"Merida's voice was soft. "I have a client here who requested a face-to-face meeting. He's willing to pay a huge sum for our consultancy services, so I couldn't pass it up. Plus, it's an excuse to see you. I've missed you."Jordan smiled, his eyes sparkling at the corners, and his dimples flashing at her. "I've missed you too."Merida continued, "I was thinking... maybe we could get to know each other better?"Jordan's response was reassuring. "That's not an issue, Merida. I'd be glad to take this step with you."Merida's gratitude was palpable. "Thank you, Jordan. You're a good man.

    Roxanne's eyes fluttered open, her head throbbing with a dull ache. She was slightly dizzy, and her surroundings were blurry. As the mist cleared from her eyes, she realized she was in a hospital bed, her aunt sitting beside her."Thank goodness you're awake," her aunt exclaimed, relief etched on her face. "What happened?"Roxanne's mind was foggy, but she tried to remember. "I...I don't know," she stammered. "I was in an elevator...and...and... That's all I remember." She added. Her aunt filled in the blanks. "Jaxon brought you here and called me. The doctor said you suffered from heatstroke and your blood pressure was a bit high. But don't worry, you'll be discharged soon."Roxanne sat up, her aunt helping her adjust the pillows. Just then, a knock on the door interrupted them. Jaxon entered, his eyes locked onto Roxanne's face.Her expression changed, her eyes flashing with anger. Her aunt didn't notice, excusing herself to give them privacy.

"What of your job, mi'ja?" he asked, his eyes filled with worry.Roxanne's aunt joined in, "Yes, Amor, what of your job? Won't your boss be angry at you for leaving without permission?"Roxanne smiled reassuringly. "It's fine, Papa, Tia. Papa's health is important."Her father's eyes softened, and he turned to Elena. "I'm fine, really. Your aunt and Elena take good care of me here. You should resume work. Isn't that right, Elena?"Elena's warm smile supported Roxanne's father.

Cynthia, on the other hand, was unphased. "If she's tongue-tied, allow me to help her out," she said with a small laugh.Loo's eyes flashed with anger, but she still didn't speak. Cynthia continued, "Your thing, here interrupted my lunch the other day, accusing me of sleeping with you, calling herself your girlfriend."Jaxon's gaze snapped to Loo, his eyes blazing with anger.
