All Chapters of Scent of Desire : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Jeez!”A soft gasp escaped me as I tilted my head sharply and looked up. A familiar and perfectly handsome face greeted me as he finished reading the line from the novel in my hand. His emerald eyes captured mine as Keir chuckled softly while analysing my pale face, “Sorry, Miss Firefly. Did I scare you?”“A little! ”Taking a deep breath, I asked in a puzzled tone, “What are you doing here? How did you even enter my room?”Keir answered nonchalantly while sitting next to me, “Of course, I am here to meet you and obviously, I used the door to come inside.”“Eh! I didn’t mean that. I thought that our guards were still outside my door and they shouldn’t allow anyone without my permission.” Squinting my eyes, I added, clearing my throat, “Don’t you know that it is bad manners to enter a lady’s room without knocking?”“So… Did I offend you, M’lady?” Keir asked, raising his one brow.“Yup, I am very offended. I demand a sincere apology letter.“Letter! Well, I will try to write a long let

Even after trying a few times when I couldn’t get Keir’s approval, I was really annoyed. I could feel that Keir was doing it intentionally to annoy me. I bit down hard on my lower lip to hide my irritation and picked up the cup once again for the seventh time.I only murmured in a low voice, “Let me try again, Sir.”Keir’s emerald eyes looked calm and observant. He was silently analysing my all reactions. I could feel his gaze on my every move.Within two minutes, I came back with a huge tray in my hand. I brought hot water, sugar, milk powder, coffee and tea pouches and a few other essentials. Placing the tray on his table, I claimed in an exhausted voice, hiding my annoyance perfectly, “Now, teach me how to make your perfect coffee. I will follow your steps next time.”Keir was a little puzzled at first and then, a little, unpredictable smirk curved his lips as he looked up, closing the file in his hand, “Do you want your boss to make his own coffee? What’s the use of having a PA th

“Of course, not for dancing or having fun.” Keir answered casually, “I will be there to investigate something and meet with a customer. Unfortunately, it is a couple's party so you have to join me. Do you know how to fight or run? How strong is your wolf?” My face became a bit pale, “It’s very weak. I don’t really transform.” “Why?” Keir asked curiously, frowning his brows, “Don’t you hunt once a month at least? Why don’t you transform?” “I- I just don’t because-” I stammered for a few seconds and then answered, looking away, “I have some personal problems. It is strictly forbidden for me. But, I can use daggers or swords, even shotguns. I have basic knowledge of taekwondo also. I can run easily. So, will that be of any help?” I noticed curiosity and doubts in his eyes but Keir only nodded his head without asking further about that topic. He added while scrolling his phone, “I will arrange daggers for you then. That will be easier to carry. Anyway, we are going to visit a site

“Mmh! C- Calling!”I picked up my phone from the bedside table and forcefully opened my sleepy eyes to check the name of the caller, but the number was unknown. It was around 6:30 am in the morning and my phone was ringing again and again.I had no other choice but to pick it up as I didn’t want Asher to wake up yet. I sleepily asked, “Who is this?”Keir’s familiar husky voice answered from the other side of the call, “My car will be waiting in front of your house at 9 o'clock. Don’t be late.”“Huh? Isn’t it a little too early?”Keir answered briefly before disconnecting the call, “We have an appointment in three hours.”Sighing I hid my face again in my pillow. Asher was lying next to me, wrapped in a blanket. I pulled him in my embrace as I mumbled sleepily, “Your father is such a bully. He doesn’t even let me sleep peacefully. Why the hell did I even fall in love with him?”Asher’s sweet voice instantly whispered in my ears in a sleepy tone, “Mom, were you talking with Dad?”“Huh?

“You can trust me.”Keir spoke in an odd yet gentle tone. When I raised my eyes, he captured my eyes with his intense and a bit restless gaze. I answered, staying quiet for a moment, “Alright, I will try to be useful, Sir.”Keir gently took the ring from my hand as he answered lazily, “I am counting on you, Miss Eliza. I hope that you will not disappoint me.”His enigmatic eyes never left mine for an instant, successfully disarming me with his smile as if he knew that I would never be able to refuse him.‘Is he trying to manipulate me again? How does he always make me so vulnerable! Why can’t I just-’“Miss Eliza? Where are you lost? In my eyes?” Keir asked teasingly as his eyes were still analysing my expression with amusement. When I realised that I was caught while staring at him shamelessly, I hastily looked down to hide my reddish cheeks. I saw that Keir was still holding the ring finger of my left hand as he slipped the ring carefully.All those words, that moment felt like a
