"Thank god you live next door to me," Zandria said.
A warm melodious laugh drifted through her phone and made her feel relax straight away. She was lucky to have such a awesome neighbour and also close friend.
"Don't mention it and you know I love the little guy," Beatrix said.
Zandria smiled grew, everybody loved her little boy, Bern. You couldn't help it, the second people set eyes on her son, they just seemed to love him. To Zandria he was her rock in this chaotic world.
"There goes another nanny. Why do they keep quitting. Bern is a perfect baby, I don't get it. They complain that he is terrible and horrible."
"Lies. Bern is perfect and they are wrong. I know for a fact he doesn't play up on them. I think they are the terrible and horrible ones," Beatrix replied.
Zandria shook her. This was her tenth nanny and the last one the agency would send to her. She also knew that no other agency in the city would deal with her because the other agency would tell others to stay away from her. She sighed.
"Don't you worry Zandria. I will look after him. He is no trouble and he loves hanging with his aunt Trix."
They both laughed as she heard Bern baby garble in the background. It was as if he was agreeing with Beatrix.
"Thank you and I shouldn't be home too late,"
"Take your time, we are cool."
They say bye to each other and hang up. Zandria sighs and lays her head back. Life can never be easy for her. She shakes her head as she hears her manger pop his head out of his office. She works in the IT department of Frost Empire. Just one of the many worker bees that exist in the building.
He looked around and saw the other empty desk. There are five techs in the department and they work in the basement, to be close to the servers and other stuff that kept the company going. The other four were on jobs already.
"Aaaah Zandria," he said, walking out of his office. "The head of security is having trouble with his computer. He needs help. He is up in his personal office and not in the main security office."
She stood up and pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose. She slipped the bag over her head that held all sort of things she could need on a job and nodded her head.
"Sure, I will head right up there."
"Thanks."
She walked to the elevators and jumped in the one that arrived at her floor. She pressed the button for the top floor where the head of the empire had his office, along with his head of security personal office. The doors dinged open and she stepped out into the luxury of sleek modern area.
"Hello dear," A kind older woman's voice came from in front of her.
She looked to the woman sitting behind the desk. Automatically, she knew the woman before her was a nurturer and carer. She smiled warmly at Zandria, which she couldn't help but return.
"Hello, I'm from the IT department. Mr Rainier needs assistance with his computer," she said, approaching the lady's desk.
She saw the plaque read Mrs Harris. Zandria had never come up this high before, one of the others usually were sent up here.
"Yes, just go to the door down there. That is Mr Rainier's office. He has just popped out for a moment but he told to send you straight through to fix the computer. He was in a hurry dear, I didn't get a chance to ask the problem but you will probably be fine working it out."
"Thank you and I should be okay. If not I will wait for Mr Rainier to return."
Mrs Harris smiled at her and Zandria headed off to the office. She opened the door and stepped into the office. The second she walked in, she felt like she was trespassing. It was as if she didn't belong without a invite. She shook the feeling off and walked to the large desk that dominated opposite her.
The office around her was styled in darkish tones. It reminded her of a private library or those male only rooms you hear about in books or through other media. Dark woods, supple leather and soft plush dark carpet. Even the floor to ceiling windows didn't make the room seem brighter.
She stepped around the desk and pulled back the large leather chair. Now she could smell a definite male scent. Dark and rich was that smell. She never smelt a cologne like it before. But that was probably due to the fact that she didn't exactly hang around many people of the opposite sex.
She had a son to raise and didn't really have time to waste on dating. The only males she was around were her work colleagues and they didn't exactly wear expensive smelling cologne. They were all geeks, just like her.
The screen on the laptop was open and was still on. Thank god he didn't have it falling asleep on her or she would of been waiting for him, so he could log on. She didn't want to sit in his chair either, yet again it just didn't feel right. She saw a post-it-note beside the computer.
It read what the issue was with the computer. His writing was elegant for a man. She smiled and put it down as she got to work fixing the issue. It was a pretty typical one and was easy to fix. She finished the job twenty minutes later.
Zandria hadn't even sense she wasn't alone, until she looked up and saw the man standing in the doorway of the office. Intense warm blue eyes watched her and made her feel like prey. Long dirty golden blond hair pulled back into a bun and a full bead to match. That bead might cover his jaw line but she could still see how define it was and how rugged his looks were under that hair. Strong and handsome were his features.
He leaned lazily against the doorframe, but she knew that at any second he could move fast just like a predator. She couldn't look away from his eyes, they held her in a web and she couldn't escape. Her heart was dancing in her chest and she could feel the blush on her cheeks. Her feet itched to go to him and her hands also wanted to touch every inch of the god that stood opposite her. She didn't know why she was reacting like this, she never done it before.
Zandria knew she had to break the spell but she just couldn't. She could see his breathing had picked up also as he watched her. Why would the Adonis of a man in front of her be looking at her? She was curvy while he was all muscle and strength. Standing over six foot tall. He would surely chase after skinnier women then her. Just then one of her blonde locks drifted across her eyes and she swore she heard a soft growl leave his kissable lips. That made her heartbeat skip a beat.
"Ayden," Mrs Harris voice called from outside somewhere.
The spell was broken. Zandria felt the shudder dance through her body and closed her eyes for a second. She quickly opened them and gathered her stuff up. She had to get out of here. What just happened was really weird and like nothing she had ever experience before. She quickly cross the room and was ready to walk out when a strong male arm blocked her exit out the door.
His back was to her as he talked to Mrs Harris, who stood in front of him. She looked up at him and he was talking away. He wore a white business shirt that pulled across all his muscles, it looked like he was going to rip out of it at any second. She shook her head of the perving spell she was having and moved to go under his arm but he moved his body to stand in the middle of the doorway.
Frustration filled her as she stared at his back, but her eyes couldn't help but notice the tightness of his arse. He sure knew how to fill out the black business pants he was wearing. No, she had to focus.
"Excuse me," she said.
He flicked his eyes over his shoulder and looked at her.
"I'm not finish with you yet."
That simple sentence made a pulse fill her body and a warmth flared in her lower stomach. The blush also intensified on her cheeks. He looked forward again and finished talking to Mrs Harris.
"Please ensure that I'm not disturbed for a while," he said.
"Yes Ayden, I will."
Mrs Harris smiled at her and winked as she walked away. Zandria didn't understand why the woman would do that. She heard and saw the door closed. Taking a step back as Ayden Rainier turned to face her. The look in his face made her gasp. Hunger filled his face especially his eyes.
"Um," she licked her lips to help her talk, "I fixed your computer sir."
His eyes darkened with her words especially at the end. He took a step and she stepped backwards. She had to keep the distance between them but he wouldn't allow it. He stalked her and only got closer to her. Her butt hit the glass window. He had stalked his prey to where he wanted her. Her azure blue eyes behind glasses looked up at him as she felt her breathing pick up. Goosebumps crawled along her skin.
Part of her was scared but there was another part of her, telling her that it was all okay. He wouldn't hurt her. How could she possibly know that but? His large body loomed over hers and she felt the warmth coming off his body.
"What is your name?" he said.
His voice reminded her of lazy thunder rolling across the sky.
"Zandria. My name is Zandria Jenkins."
"Zandria."
It was as if he was tasting her name on his lips and made a shiver go through her at the tone of his voice. It was the tone of a lover, of someone who knew her intimately. His large hand grasped her left cheek so softly that she couldn't help but close her eyes at the touch, nor the soft moan that slipped out her full lips.
He kissed her then. A kiss filled with such passion that all she could do was hold on for dear life as he took her along for the ride. She felt so small, a feeling she had never felt before especially with her abundant curves. But he was so muscular and tall. He made her frame feel so small.
Her hands clasped the shirt at his chest and she held on for dear life. He pulled his lips away from hers and kissed along the right side of her jaw to her ear. She whimpered when his teeth grazed the shell of her ear.
"You smell so intoxicating my beauty," he rasped.
She moaned softly and squeezed her hands tighter. Just being in his presence and hearing his purring whispers in her ear was making her wet with desire.
"You were delivered right to my doorstep. I thought this day wouldn't come."
She didn't understand his words. His lips drifted down her neck and she cried out when she felt something that wasn't normal. His teeth had sunk into her flesh as if it was a knife through butter.
She cried out in pleasure as her body was seized by it. A orgasm ripped through her. She held on for dear life as her body was crushed under the waves of pleasure. Her body rocked and was looking for relief. She felt the darkness coming for her. He pulled back and the sound she heard was one she would never forget. A howl rippled through the room as the darkness embraced her.
