All Chapters of FIRE & ICE: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

ANUSHKA'S POVThe forest wasn't that compressed and I really thanked the heavens for that..McKenzie was keeping me close as we hobbled our way to the cabin that she was talking about..Everywhere was slippery and the slope was somewhat very steep ,so we had to take careful steps all the way through..The storm was still raving hard on us and Danelle's clothes were dripping wet by now and I felt so bad for having to wear her coat while she got drained..She was definitely going to catch a cold because of me and that was really bothering me..I really didn't know why the thought of McKenzie getting sick ,or getting hurt in any way devastated me so much..Which brings me to the way I acted back in the car..I knew it wasn't my place to be worried sick like that ,I was just an employee to her for God's sake and I definitely didn't mean anything to her but I just couldn't help the fear that swelled in my heart when I looked around our surroundings and the storm was

DANELLE'S POV I was about to stand up from that small couche when Anushka placed her soft hand on my shoulder stopping me from moving..I gently rose my head to look at her and Jesus freaking Christ ,I really didn't know that butterflies could spread in one's stomach just by looking at somebody's smile..This was insane ,I tell you.."I'll sit " Anushka mumbled softly looking everywhere but me..I really wanted to reach to her face to remove that lock of hair that was hiding that beautiful face from me but she beat me to it ,gently tagging it behind her ear while softly nibbling on her lower lip..Only if she knew what that does to me when she does that ,she wouldn't be carelessly doing it right now"Its okay ,you don't have to"No,that was more like 'please' but I had to sugarcoat it ,couldn't sound desperate"No I want to....I mea- "She whispered quietly,even though it was bit dim in the room but I couldn't see the deep shades of pink on her cheeks..Sh

DANELLE'S POVOnce given a heads up ,I didn't waste any time crashing my lips on hers and just the way I had expected ; her rosy lips were so soft like a sponge that the intensity that I wanted to devour her with instantly melted into a gentle obsession..The butterflies in my stomach multiplied making me weak to my knees ,though I was still sitting ;but I felt like I was falling in to something deeper the more my lips moved with hers and her hands clutching on me for dear life..She taste so sweet ,like strawberries ;funny thing was that I actually hated those but I found myself wanting to taste more and more of it..I desperately wanted my tongue inside of her mouth but I also couldn't get enough of those soft lips plus I wanted to also give her time to process everything ,I wanted to take us on her pace..She was quite inexperienced ;moving her lips sloppily against mine but I didn't seem to care about that ,in fact it only made everything even more bet

ANUSHKA'S POV I didn't think when I pushed Danelle hard away from me which she stumbled back but was able to catch her balance quickly..How dare she think it was okay to do that to me ? Just because I didn't stop her from getting close to me ,didn't mean I gave her free pass to do anything she wanted..For God's sake ,I wasn't ready for that.."Don't you ever touch me again " I seethed through gritted teeth as I stared coldly at my boss..McKenzie had an apologetic expression on her face as she tried to step forward"I'm so sorry Anushka ,I didn't mean to do that ,I swear--" McKenzie started apologetically , I could really see panic in her eyes but I wasn't having it right now.Thankfully ,in that second the elevator finally opened and I didn't waste any more second as I literally bolted out of there.. I could hear Danelle calling my name behind me but I didn't stop..I really needed a minute ,with all those emotions I was feeling ;it felt like I was suf

ANUSHKA'S POV It only took about twenty minutes before we finally arrived at the restaurant Sammy did the reservation at for our date..It was a very fancy hotel , the outside only made that vividly clear..I suddenly felt so small, like I didn't belong there which I didn't of course..That was how I always felt every time I stepped in a space reserved for the riches..I always felt out of place and the feeling was never pleasant at all..I seriously would have appreciated it if he had took me somewhere I felt comfortable..Somewhere I could be able to pay for my own food if I wanted to..Maybe a street vendor or some two-star street restaurant or anything of that sort, besides I'd rather support a small-time business than some rich person who already have more money that could feed the whole town ,if not the whole conurbation..Fairly so, the man didn't think I'd like to eat somewhere like that ,so I couldn't blame him..He had money after all ,so he obvio
