His secretary

Chapter 16

Cain's POV

I gotta admit the hotdogs were really something; I was amazed to say the least. But the one thing that made my heart suddenly skip a beat if that's even possible was seeing Millers' face so close to mine waiting for an expression from me in how delicious they were. I observed her face, her plump pink lips that mesmerized me, and her eyes gosh those brown eyes that I was lost in. I wanted her to have eyes just for me, I wanted her to be mine, those lips to long for mine just as mine longed for hers.

All these emotions bottling inside me confused me, made everything a blur for me, what was going on? Was I changing because of her? What I felt for Julia years ago cannot compare to what I'm feeling now for the woman standing in front of me. She had managed to turn me on without even lifting a finger.

"Well Sir? How is it? Don't tell me it's bad. Are you allergic to the sauce! Oh no, this was a bad idea!"

Her worried expression made me chuckle a bit. I observed her once more, she looked cute and no wonder Alexander wanted her, he knew very god damn well that this woman would capture my heart.

"It's beautiful"

"Huh, sir?"

Wrong choice of words. I stuttered a bit before doing something totally unexpected. Capturing her by the neck, I brought her face so close to mine and kissed her. It took me by surprise too, but what hurt me is that she didn't reciprocate my kiss.

"I want you, Millers....kiss me..kiss me damn it..."

I moaned my emotions running wild. Surprisingly she let me in, as I ravished her hungrily not really wanting to let her go. It felt so good; having her in my arms brought this feeling that jump-started all the nerves in my body. I wanted to have a fill of her, I wanted her to remain in my arms forever if need be, I wanted her to be mine. Even as she tried to pull away from that wonderful moment that ignited sparks in my heart, my arms were too careful in not letting her slip from my hands. I stubbornly held onto her waist.

"Mmmh...sir..s..stop.."

She tried once more to part from me but I was quick in pulling her in for another brainstorming kiss before her hand landed on my cheek. It took minutes for me to understand that she had actually slapped me.

"I'm not that kind of woman!"

Emma's POV

What a p*****t! How dare he? I'm not just one of those women he just charms in a day and pins on his bed the next. No suree I'm not.

I'm disappointed at myself too. I kissed him back and who am I kidding I liked it! Of course it's been four years since Cole but I'm still scared. Cole scarred me for life. I'm afraid of commitments not that there's any commitment that will ever exist between my boss and I. No chance!

I touched my lips once more as I took a corner on the lane. Finally reaching home, I slumped on the couch threw the old heels to the furthest corner of the sitting room. The smell of grilling onions reassuring me that mom was making dinner. Taking an apron in hand and tying it to my body I joined her in chopping the carrots.

"You have a lot in your mind, huh?"

She knew me so well and how what I supposed to tell her. Frankly the whole thing was a confusion to me, I didn't know exactly what was bothering me. The fact that my boss kissed me or the fact that I realized I'm not over Cole.

"He kissed me. My boss kissed me" I said after a brief moment of silently chopping the carrots as waited for the rice to simmer down.

"Well what's the matter? He likes you. After so long someone has an interest in you"

Yeah well that someone happens to be the biggest player I've come across.

"Perhaps I've met the guy. He is cute for you, honey."

"Mom! He's a womanizer, don't let the looks deceive you. I can't love anyone, Cole was my first and last. What if he comes back"

There I said it, I was afraid that wherever Cole was he would suddenly rise from the dead and then boom he'd come for me for betraying him.

"Honey, Cole is gone. He is never coming back to hurt you, let your heart heal, learn to love again"

"It's not that easy"

"It is. Cole is never coming back and don't you dare feel bad for taking a shot in happiness"

Mom's words started to sink in right before my brothers barged in obviously arguing about something, as usual.

"Am telling you, John, in a week she will be my girlfriend. That I promise" Ace bragging about this mystery girl of his. His girlfriend, I would love to see her.

"Hey, I thought she was already your girlfriend"

I asked hiding the urge to let out a laugh.

"That's the first step, claiming your girl now second is winning her over" Ace winked and John burst out laughing.
