"Sure" he replied.

"The office door made creaking noise indicating that some one came in. Before i had chance to turn around familiar voice spoke.

"Hello scarlett."

My blood ran cold. All of sudden i was glued to a spot. None of my body parts moved. My eyes became wide and face paled.Sweat started forming on my forehead. I was suffocating suddenly.

Micheal came and sat in chair beside me. I slowly turned my head in his direction in utter horror.

Wide smirk was plastered on his handsome face giving it devilish look. He totally rocked in black armani suit with few buttons on top undone. His eyes were glued to me. My mouth was open like gaping fish.

The urge to tears his shirt off his body hit me and i gulped hard and clenched my thighs together.

Seeing my reaction his smirk widened.

I so wanted to wipe that annoying sexy smirk off his face. With a brick.

"Hello love. Cat got your tongue?!" He said in husky voice.

I kept staring at his face and oh-so-edible body until his voice broke me out of his spell.

"Stare all you want. It's all yours. I might as well take off my clothes for your better view when we are alone later." He said arrogantly.

My eyes widened more if possible. I cleared my throat and focused on Mr.jordan.

He was looking at us with amused expression.

"Nathan can i have a private word with miss jones here if u don't mind?" Suddenly micheal spoke.

"Of course i do not mind. I have a conference to attend anyways." He stood up.

"Mr.wilson, miss jones" he adressed. I nodded timidly. He goes out means i am left alone with devil.

Shit! Shit! Shit! Scarlett run.

"Ummm, i should get going too. I promised my family that i will head home as soon as meeting is over." I said awkwardly.

"Who told you meeting is over. We are not even started love." Micheal chided in.

I gulped again.

Scarlett you stupid woman. Think something. Devil will fry you in hot oil if you don't think fast. Think woman!!

By now mr.jordan was out. I had a hunch he did this intentionally. I immediately shot up from my seat and turned to leave only for getting pulled back and getting pinned to desk by my hot devil.




I was pressed up between him and desk. I was hot in every wrong place. Our proximity made it hard to breath.

His sea-coloured eyes captured me in an intense gaze. Enough to see through my soul. There was only handful distance between our faces.He closed the remainning distance between us and pinned both of my hands behind me with his one hand stroking my cheek.

Electricity flew from his touch to me like a lightening bolt with such intensity that i jumped when our skins contacted. His hypnotizing gaze was enough to send several shivers down my spine. Butterflies went haywire in my stomach.

He leaned his face in crook of my neck. I feel his breathing which sent tingles straight to my core. Every nerve in my body was on fire and exploded where he touched and skin made burning sensation. I was hot mess just by our proximity.

My body was still and eyes closed tightly. I just prayed that i didn't die today.

Micheal laid a soft wet kiss in hollow of my neck which was enough for my knees to buckle. He placed a feathery kiss behind my earlobe. I nearly moaned but bit my lip harder to control it.

He spoke in husky, seductive voice,

"Didn't i just say the meeting is not over? You cannot escape my love. And i sure as hell am not letting you go anywhere until i am finished talking business. So we can either sit and talk like normal people or continue it in this way. I don't mind."

My body was jolting in waves of pleasure from where his lips were. All sort of wrong thoughts roamed my mind. I suddenly lost my ability to talk so i nodded lightly and started wriggling.

"Thought so." He whispered and laid another kiss on my weak spot and sat back on his chair. I released breath i didn't know was holding.

His face was passive of any expressions. Like nothing happened.
I on the other hand was dying with embarassment and. I was sure my fave would have put tomato to shame.

With wobbly legs i sat back on chair. I looked everywhere but him.

"Look at me when i am talking." He ordered and my head snapped up in his direction.

"Good girl. Now about our meeting. I have a project for you. And i am not taking no for answer." He stated.

My eyebrows furrowed. "what project? I am not gonna live here for many days. So u don't think i will be able to take anymore projects. And if it is from you then it's already a big no no." I retorted.

"You have to do it. I am gonna construct my own house. And you will be designing it."

I let out a humourless laugh. "You are delusional if you think i am gonna do it. Not even for a million dollar bucks. Search some other designer."

"I was not asking you sweetheart. It was an order. You are doing it. By hook or crook."

"And who are you to order me around?" I asked looking straight in his eyes.


"Don't make this complicated scarlett. I won't hesitate to shut down your little office in Australia. Right now i pull the strings and you. Are. Going. To. Design. My house. End of discussion."

I glared at him. The nerve of this asshole.

"Fine. Whatever. Dumbass" i snapped.

He snorted and got up and straightened up his suit.

I was already annoyed with him so i left office before he can irritate me further. I let mr.jordan's secretary know about plans.


Rest of the day went in me thinking about that asshole. No matter what he refused to leave my head. Latched on to my thoughts like a parasite. It irritated me to hell and back.


Next day i decided to visit texas to meet lynn. I talked with mrs.knights to tell that i am coming tomorrow to surprise my annoying bestie.




I slept with haunting sea-coloured eyes with my mind.
