Daniel slowly opened his eyes as he looked around and he saw Kathryn opening a cupboard and keeping clothes. When he saw that she was turning to him, he immediately closed his eyes. He wanted to know how she’d been treating him the whole time he was unconscious. She walked to the bed and sat beside him before putting a towel in a bowl and then squeezing the water out before putting it on his forehead. She did it so carefully like she was his wife and he couldn’t help but smile. Despite being such a talented assassin and goon, he’d hands still felt so delicate when they touched his forehead and it was when he smiled that she realized that he had regained consciousness.“Daniel?” She called like a mother would call a child she’d just caught stealing ice cream in the middle of then night.He slowly opened his eyes with a smile on his face and as he tried to get up, she put her hand behind him before putting a pillow so he could sit well. He saw that an IV drip had been connected to
Not wanting the whole atmosphere to become cringy, she acted like she didn’t hear what he’d said.“I know you heard what i said but it’s not what you think” he said and she stared at him.“And what do you think I think?” She asked“I don’t love you as a person, I love you as a chef” he said and for some reason, his words hurt her but she decided to play cool.“That’s what I was thinking “ she said and they both chuckled“But for real, I love your food. It’s the best I’ve ever had” he told her and she smiled“My cousin thought me to cook “ she said and paused, it was obvious she didn’t want to continue but she’d already started and gotten him interested in the conversation so she had to continue.“And your mum, I’ve never heard about your mum” he told her and she got off the bed“You don’t know me so it’s fine if you don’t know her.. you don’t even need to know her “ she said before going to get a napkin and cleaning his mouth. After she had finished feeding him, she took the plates
Kathryn gulped, there was no way she could tell him the truth. She couldn’t tell him the main reason she took a billet for someone she barely knew but one thing was for sure, she had to get answers, answers that couldn’t be gotten had that man been shot. She inhaled deeply,“I’ll tell you but you’ll have to answer my question first “ she told him. She was doing her possible best to divert his attention, she didn’t want him to know her plans yet. It was only after she’d gotten the answers she sought that she would confide in him.“Tell me, what is it?” He asked. If answering any question of hers would get her to answer to the reason she’d taken a bullet for someone who wanted to ruin him, he was willing to do it. According to him, there was no question she wanted to ask that he would have an answer to. His personal life, professional life, mafia life, he had answers to all of these questions so hence, he was willing to answer them. Besides, what was it that she wanted to know?
Lips still pressed against each others’, eyes widened in shock, arousal was taking place and Kathryn knew very well what this was doing to him but she didn’t care, why should she? She wasn’t paid by some random man to seduce the mafia don now was she? He’d paid her himself. He’d given her the offer himself. She didn’t tell him she was in dire need of a job and neither did she beg him to give her a job after providing a résumé that informed him that she was a seductress. He’d chosen to hire her of his own accord didn’t he? He had to deal with it. When she saw that he was beginning to enjoy it, she moved her head back and rested her hands on the bed so she could balance well with a smile on her face.“Did you like you gift?” She asked him as she passed naughty winks to him with that smile on her face, that smile that did things to him.“I….I don’t even know “ he told her with honesty. He could have never believed that she would take such a bold step.“I don’t know? Honestly, that
With a smile on her face, she put a foot forward as she walked towards him before going to sit by him on the bed. “Why are you drooling? It’s just a lady in your room after all” she said with a wink on her face as she put her hand on his shoulder before moving her face closer to his. “Won’t you say good morning?” She asked in a voice as low as the height of a bead on the floor He pulled her by the waist closer to himself before rolling her on the bed so he was on top of her and she could feel her heart begin to race very fast. She gulped as she stared at his face, it was so close to hers and even though he’d just gotten out of bed, he still smelt so good. He tucked her wet hair behind her ear as he stared at her face with a smile. He could feel her heart race and beat so quickly and it made him feel so good. He bent and placed a soft kiss on her slightly exposed cleavage.“Trying to play miss seductress aren’t you?” He asked as he gave a side smile while his gaze didn’t break f
“Really? Are you willing to do this?“ he heard a voice ask shakily and on turning, he stared at Kathryn who was staring at him, shocked.“Kathryn I…” just as he made to move closer to her, she put her hand forward. “Please don’t, don’t come any closer to me or you might make me regret what I’ll do” she told him and made to leave when he spoke “So what do you expect me to do? Stay in the dark without any knowledge of why you put your life on the line? Without any knowledge of why my own bodyguard was willing to die for my enemy?” He asked and she turned, folding her hands against her chest.“You know what your problem is? I’ll tell you, you’re just too inquisitive. Why do you want to know? It’s my life is it not? And besides, I chose to make that decision after carefully thinking about it. Didn’t you hear the man? He was only doing so to save his mother’s life but then….”“But then what Kathryn?” He asked her as he stared at her angrily. The anger in his eyes this time around was dif
“Kathryn!” He yelled as he rushed to her, seeing her that way made him feel so scared. Ironic wasn’t it? He was the same man that had planned to attack her to get the truth out of her wasn’t he?He managed to pick her up as he kept on calling her name while he carried her upstairs, wondering how she could have fallen down the stairs. He knew she wasn’t that careless of a person.Opening the door, he gently laid her on the bed as he went from cupboard to cupboard, looking for a first aid kit. After some time, he found one in the bathroom and quickly took it out.After he was done cleaning her up, he placed a little kiss on her forehead before leaving..“Are you alright now?” He asked her as he placed his palm on her face, gently caressing it. She nodded her head as she looked away, apparently, she’d not been able to get it out of her head how badly he’d treated her. She couldn’t bring herself to forget how what she’d heard, how he’d planned to get her attacked so he could get the tr
“Are you alright?“He asked as he slowly blew some air to her face, trying to get her hair off it.“Yes I am, are you?” She asked as she tried to get off him but apparently, she was stuck.“What’s wrong?” He asked as his eyes slowly made way to her chest and he saw that her necklace had become stuck to his. He chuckled, “seems we’re destined for each other” he told her with a naughty smirk on his face.“Are we really?” She asked as she gave a sly smile. “I don’t think so” she told him, winked before slowly untangling the necklaces. As she untangled the necklaces, he couldn’t help but stare at her, looking into her eyes and wondering what was so special at her that made her so irresistible to him. He closed his eyes, he couldn’t take it any more, he could no longer control himself as she was on top of him, he had to stop this for he was afraid he’d do something they would both regret later on. He slowly wrapped his hands around her waist and she couldn’t help but stare at him as
