Chapter 8: The Innocent Temptation

Caroline's POV

"Imnotgoingtosleepwithyou" I screamed so fast that I know he didn’t understand as I could say by his confused face.

"What?!" He asked.

"By your conditions if you mean that I have to sleep with you, then forget about it. I better be jobless!" I said trying to calm myself.

He smirked. That asshole! "Well you've already done that!"

"Yes! The worst experience and my biggest mistake" I said rolling my eyes. But somewhere inside, I know what I said was a complete lie.

He looked angry but threw some papers on the table towards me. "Sign them" he said.

"What are these?" I asked out of curiosity.

"That's a contract, you'll be working here for a year. And we can extend it based on your 'skills'" he said with extra pressure on skills.

I narrowed my eyes at him, I know what that asshole meant.

"Fine! I'll go through the contract first-" I was about to say, but he cut me off.

"There's no need for that. I've already gone through them. And these also include the company rules and all such stuff which everyone working in this company has also signed. Oh and it has all those conditions. Just the usual" he said.

"Oh okay." I said and signed those papers and gave it back to him.

He had a mischievous smile on his face. And I hate it.

"From when should I be here for work?" I asked

"Tomorrow. And be early. Since it'll be your first day there won't be much work. And about the timings and salary I'll inform you tomorrow. You don't have to worry about the salary, I pay my employees very well. So be here tomorrow. I just don't want to give you all the shock in a single day" he mumbled the last sentence to himself but I heard it anyways.

I raised my eyebrows at him, but soon he changed the topic.

"Oh and about the apartment. Be here on time. And I'll send my men to your house for helping with the shifting." He said.

"Okay. Can I leave then?" I asked.

"No wait. Even I'm leaving, we can go together. Just sit there on the couch and give me few minutes." He ORDERED.

"No. I'll call for a cab..." I trailed off as I saw him glaring at me. So I silently went and sat on the couch.

Few minutes my ass! It's already 7 in the evening- "Ready? Shall we leave?" he asked bringing me out of my thoughts. Finally!

"Yea.." I said and followed behind him. He opened every door for me. His office door, his car door. That's sweet of him. I mean toooo gentlemanly type. But I don't like when men do that for me. But it's ok. At least he's not being arrogant or ordering me around.

As I sat inside the car, he went around the car and said something to the driver and climbed in. He turned towards me and smiled. Strange. I thought and frowned at him.

"What?" He asked seeing my frown.

"Your smiling" I said.

"So?" He asked.

"Nothing. You never smile. I mean I haven’t seen you smiling. A mischievous one? Yes. But never a genuine smile." He looked taken aback and nodded but didn’t say anything.

I was completely lost in my thoughts. And when I finally looked out I saw that it wasn’t the way to my house. 'Is he taking me to his place' I thought. But I know that it's not the way. I mean I don't remember but I know it's not the way. 'Is he kidnapping me?' I thought. Or murder or rape!

Here goes my weird cheap thoughts!

'That was so cheap of yourself Caroline. First off, he won't kidnap cause you have nothing to give away as ransom. And rape?! He won't have to. You will willingly give yourself to him!' My inner goddess mocked at me.

I straightened myself and looked at his brooding self!

"Aaahhhhh"i said not knowing what to say.

He looks up at me waiting for me to complete my sentence.

"This is not the way to my house. " I say in a low voice

He smiles, the mischievous one, and says, "I know, since it's almost dinner time and you are with me, why not have dinner before we go home right?" I was about to protest but he continued saying "And since I'm your boss, I've given you a chance, offered you a job. So this dinner might turn into a celebration."

"Okay" I said in a low voice. I mean it's just dinner.

I'm always nervous around this man. Thank god! That nervousness is not written all over my face all the time. Did I have to sleep with him? It just made things even more awkward. I didn’t regret losing my virginity, it was the best night my life. But he didn’t respect it enough!!

Suddenly, all the anger that I had tried to push and keep inside myself was all over me. How can I forgive this man? I'm definitely going to be grateful to him for all that he is doing for me. He helped me during my days of pain. But I will never forgive him for what he did. I never thought why he offered me the job. Maybe because it's a compensation.

Without me knowing, a tear escaped my eyes.

"What happened? Why are you crying?" He pointed out with concern.

"Nothing. I'm not. " I said and wiped my tears. And at the same time we reached a hotel. I've been to such places many times but not in the clothes I'm in right now.

All the female staff are openly ogling at him. Have they no shame? And this person beside me has no idea of it. He's not even sparing them a single glance. I felt proud when he pulled me closer to him by my waist. The electric sparks igniting my whole body. I can't breathe in his scent. I look up at him. I feel the need to kiss him.

I see him screaming angrily at someone. I can't make out the words. As I'm lost in my thoughts of HIM!

After that he pulls out the chair for me to sit and then he sits on the chair opposite to me and blah blah blah.... It feels as though he has taken control over my mind. I can't think straight. I was angry at him just a minute before. But now I'm just staring at him.

Daniel's POV

Obviously I brought her to one of my hotels. I wanted it to be perfect for her. But somehow the staff failed to keep it ready before we came. And that waiter who was looking at my Caroline! Fired obviously! But she didn’t seem to notice her surroundings. I felt like she was in a beautiful daze the whole time. That dreamy look in her eyes. 'What was that about?' I thought......

Anyways we had our dinner. A quite dinner. A silent one. She didn’t say a word. But always kept looking at me from below her lashes. I just find that look so innocent.

And just now we reached her house. I asked my driver to sit in and look on the other side with my secret signals. I sprinted out of the door to open hers before she can by herself. I just couldn’t have it anymore. I wanted to hold her! So close!

I pull her by her waist and push her on the side of the car and held her even closer to me. My forehead on hers. My nose touching hers. Before I could kiss her she presses her lips onto mine. I bite her lower lip teasing her. It tastes like a honey kissed strawberry. She moans at me in complain. That's when I enter her mouth, devouring it. She wraps her legs around my waist and I held her by her bottom, against the car side. She unknowingly pushes against me, she doesn’t even know what effect she is having on me.

Before we could go any further I hear a chuckle and a throat clearing. We both quickly come out of our trance and I almost dropped her cause of the way she was wiggling in my arms. We then stood beside each other to see a lady grinning at us, I'm sure that's her mom. Caroline looks shocked but composes herself soon.

"Bye, I'll see you tomorrow" she said and ran towards the lady and pulled her inside the house and locked it. Not even giving me a chance to reply.

The door opened again and Caroline's face came out of it. She then waved her hand saying a bye. I did the same and left to my place.
