I downed the last of my drink and telephoned the accounting department. Usually it were my personal assistant who handled the calls however this one in particular I voluntarily completed on my own.
There had been a problem which demanded answers. Now.
"Good morning Mr Monteiro. " the head of department's assistant chirped.
"Tell your damn boss I need him in my office this instant" I ordered and slammed -- hard --the phone onto the desk top.
What was this nonsense?
Had I been so distracted lately that I was unaware of the company's antics?

When the drumming sounded onto the door, I barked a gruff "come in. "
Brian entered the office his face already red

Britondii Luca pov The remainder of the day passed in a blur. Literally. I had cried so much, my vision was blurry for the most part.From the backseat of the taxi cab, I leaned my head backwards, resting it on the slightly worn cushioned headrest. I bit my lip hard, closing my eyes tightly when the vicious throbbing in my head increased its pace.The image of Sebastian kissing the woman, replayed itself in my minds eyes like a scratched disk, taunting me,beseeching tears.My eyes welled with tears as I recalled how Sebastian had barged into my office shortly after, anger contorting his handsome facial features, yelling."You should have knocked Miss Luca! What the fuck is wrong with you? "Humorlessly, I chuckled biting my lip. I were him, I would have shouted at me also. After all, I

Sebastian Monteiro povI downed the shot of liquor and leaned back into the cushioned leather chair, releasing a contented "fuck" as my throat burned in protest against the blazing liquid.I felt the twitch in my tight pants as I recollected how fucking sexy miss Luca had looked in my club last night. Unseen by her, I had eyed her hungrily. I wouldn't have ever imagined in my wildest dream that she would be the type to party but as they said looks could be deceiving. But who was the boy she was with?God knows I had wanted to tear his damn throat out when he touched Miss Luca but why? Was she that loose that she had gone out to party with a man when she had work in the morning?"Jesus" I hissed.Why had it bothered me so? She was not even my

Sebastian Monteiro pov"Damn it Miss Luca. " I growled running my hands over my face. "Damn it. "I did not think before I fired her. I was just so damn outraged.I had never felt so possessive, so jealous before.The damn woman had behaved as if she had not cared that all the men eyed her in ways that had made me almost commit murder."Fuck! " I yelled and kicked over the nearest chair.What the hell was wrong with that daring woman?Did she not see the things she was doing to me?I kicked the fallen chair a second time and shoved my hands in my pockets, resisting the strong blasted urge to run after her and begged her for her forgiveness.I was filled with so much damn remorse for behaving with her as I had, I shook my

Britondii Luca pov "Well to mine it is then" Sebastian replied smirking as he turned the car around when I did not answer his question.Still, as he continued to dice in the direction opposite of my home I said nothing. Still angry with him but still continuing to kill him with my glares.Oh, stop blaming your anger. You want to ho home with the damn man my subconscious taunted painting her toenails.I closed my eyes and rested my head on the window, a painful head ache developing.I had done a very foolish thing, running out into the rain. My immune system was very weak and easily, I contracted a very bad cold. I sneezed and rubbed my nose, my nostrils already beginning to burn fiercely."Damn it Miss Luca " Sebastian growled but I did not open my eyes to look at him. I was no

Sebastian Monteiro povSilently, I watched miss Luca laying on her side her eyes closed, but the steady breathing told me she was awake.Though I had covered her with a blanket her body still shook.

I willed the hardness straining against the front joggers to go down.Was it even damn normal for s man to be as strongly aroused for a woman who was ill and shivering.Only you, Monteiro.

Britondii Luca pov The sound of the men's deep baritones serving as an alarm clock awakened me from my slumber. Before I opened my eyes, i almost did not remember where I was and why Sebastian's voice sounded so very close to me. I almost felt his hot breath on my skin.My brain finally registered the words been spoken. Sebastian was being asked to leave and he had been adamantly refusing. My eyes fluttered slowly open and I realised I was laying on the bed in a posh hospital room, Sebastian sitting close to me on the couch and a doctor who looked about middle aged standing near to him."Mr. Monteiro, please" the doctor's voice sounded tired and slightly desperate.But again, the arrogant man defied him."Sebastian's please"I spoke, my voice hoarse and almost as desperate as the doctor's.

That I was in no mood for a chit chat.Instead of pronouncing her condition, I pouted, casying my head and gazed through the dark window as if I were but an upset, rotten child.Miss Luca's utterances, without any forewarning like a serpent hissed tauntingly, invading my in eardrums.I need Lucas.

Britondii Luca pov All the way to my destination -- tears spilling from my eyes and my lips parched regardless of how much I had ran my tonguethem-- the Blooming Flower, a small, inexpensive but lovely guest house where I would spend the night, mayhap a few days until I had figured out what my next action would be; I bitterly chided, reprimanded myself. How could I have left my best friend as selfishly, as coldly as I had? Without even proffering to him a proper, befitting farewell? Why? Because he would have undoubtedly urged or even peesuaded me to stay? Yes, I had written to him a note, stashed away beneath his fluffy pillow,,for him to see whenever he had risen elucidating, though not in great detail, the reasons for such a hasty, unlooked for departure with an elongated paragraph of a million "I'm sorrys". But still. I kissed him and left.

Perhaps at another time, they would have been however tonight, they scared me so damn much as if they were the monsters beneath my bed waiting to attack me, the sincerity in his utterance further frightened me.Was this the way he proved his love to a woman?Physically assault her until her entire body had been rendered benumbed from the pain?Then again it was no secret, Sebastian Monteiro was an excellent fabulist, a ma

He reached out to carress my face.I drew back, finally finding my voice, however small and hoarse it was from crying. "Sebastian please. Don't"I could not have him touch me.

He had not deserved it--atleast not now. His quiet chuckle was amused and alluring even entertained. "Are you not going to greet the man with whom you will share a bed a kiss, love?
