Chapter 6
Sean’s POV
This meeting was one of the most boring I ever attended, I had been in here listening to pompous asses say what they thought was supposed to motivate young and upcoming business men and women when in truth, most of us in this hall were simply handed the reins of leadership when we came of age and while some of us just sat back and let our nameless and faceless minions do the work while we basked in greatness, some of us actually ended up working our asses off,
But who was I to judge? I was also born with a silver spoon and I gladly ate from it but at least, I tried my best to see that I was worthy of that spoon, I did what was expected of me at all times but I never ever denied myself the fun this life had to offer, I worked hard and partied even harder, I kept glancing down at my wristwatch to see if it was time to end this charade, I had heard that the cocktails in this hotel were to die for, I was practically dying to try it out and perhaps explore some other areas.
I was glad when the host announced that the meeting was over and will be continued tomorrow, I was without doubt or shame the first to stand up and proceed to leave the hall, I didn’t look back and I was not sorry for it, I couldn’t wait to get out of this suit and put on something much more comfortable to wear, I really hated wearing a suit at night, especially when it was not for a party with good champagne and wine.
The first thing I did was to pull off the infernal tie from my neck, I popped the first two buttons of my shirt and removed my jacket, finally, I could feel the breeze on my skin, I ran my finger though my hair ruining the perfectly gelled lines that had been there initially, it was messy and I loved it just like that,
I started toward my hotel room when I saw a young lady walking just a little distance from me, the reason I felt compelled to look at her was because of her hair, I loved red heads and gave no explanations for it, they were not really a common sight.
Looking at the lady once more, I realized that her hair was not the only beautiful thing about her, she was a really beautiful woman and I must say she had a nice smile, she was currently speaking with an employee of the hotel, I could tell he was an employee because of the blue shirt he wore with the hotel name boldly printed on it and she was gifting him with I could only describe as a priceless smile, I suddenly forgot all about cocktails, this woman before me looked interesting in a lot of ways,
I loved beautiful women and I was proud of it, I was the product of two beautiful people so I guess I was naturally attracted to anything and everything beautiful and this woman here was beauty personified.
Taking a deep breath, I walked over to the woman, I realized that she looked even prettier up close, she was casually going through the hotel brochure, it looked like she was just taking a walk around, because she kept looking around and admiring everything she saw and I walked behind her, not saying a single word or trying to approach her, I felt nice walking behind her like this, there was something intimate about it despite not even knowing her name.
Her dress fluttered as the breeze gently blew, occasionally exposing her beautiful legs, I knew it was creepy following a woman like this but I didn’t care at this moment, I was person that loved to live in the moment and right at this moment, I wanted to keep walking behind this unknown woman.
Then suddenly she turned a bend and she was momentarily lost from my view, I followed her in the same direction but I couldn’t find her when I turned the bend, looking around me, I saw that they were some tall columns,
I was suddenly dragged roughly and slammed hard against a wall, I was momentarily shocked because I had not expected an attack of any sort, my entire body immediately went rigid and ready to attack back if necessary, but my body suddenly relaxed when I laid eyes on my attacker, it was the beautiful red head, she was looking at with what seemed like anger in those brown eyes that reminded me of hot chocolate on Christmas morning.
“Who the hell are you and why do you keep on following me? Are you some sort of pervert? Well if you are, I will have you know I am no easy prey, I am skilled in karate and Taekwondo, I could hurt you pretty bad if you try anything” Red said and pressed the elbow she had been holding against my throat,
I guess this wasn’t a situation to be smiling but I couldn’t help the smile that crept into my face, I was very aware of her warm body pressing against mine and the heat I suddenly felt in the air, she was breathing hard because she was angry and I could not tear my gaze away from her full luscious lips,
Something deep inside me begged to have her closer and even if I wanted to get a grip on my senses, the smell of her assaulted my senses and rendered them completely and utterly useless, the only thing on my mind right now was those lips on mine,
I was a man that always got what he wanted and that wasn’t about to change anytime soon, even before I could properly grasp what I was doing, my head was already going down towards hers and my only destination was her lips, I could already the feel of it against mine and suddenly, I saw black.

Trinidad’s POV
I had seen Sean Williams leave the conference hall, I watched as he pulled the tie he was wearing off and then opened some of the buttons on his shirt then finally took his jacket off, I was amazed by how quickly he went from corporately handsome to just drop dead hot especially when he messed his hair up.
I had intended to casually make move on him but he suddenly looked toward my direction and I had to quickly look away, I stopped one of the employees and asked him for directions which I didn’t really need, I had thought he might be on his way soon but I noticed he kept looking at me and when I walked, he followed behind me, I was finding this all creepy and new, I was used to be one following behind so I wasn’t sure what the hell was going on,
I decided to something quickly change the situation, I noticed a bend which I quickly took, I was out of his sight for a few seconds, I hid behind one of the columns and waited for him to come into view and just like I had expected, he came into view and was busy looking around, he was obviously looking for me,
With a calculated movement, I grabbed him and slammed him hard against a wall, and in that short moment, I didn’t fail to notice how hard his arms were, I pressed my elbow against his throat,
I was suddenly angry at myself, I was getting too distracted already, I needed to be done with this mission and fast or I was pretty sure things wouldn’t go exactly as planned.
I needed to confirm if I was compromised or not, sometimes agents usually got compromised but I found that wasn’t my most pressing issue because right now I wasn’t sure what was going on, but all I knew was that I was fighting not to relax into his hard body, I was very aware of the hard lines of his stomach, and how those eyes of his were really captivating,
I needed to focus on what I supposed to be doing right now and that was not imagining what it will feel like to have his hard body close to mine.
“Who the hell are you and why do you keep on following me? Are you some sort of pervert? Well if you are, I will have you know I am no easy prey, I am skilled in karate and Taekwondo, I could hurt you pretty bad if you try anything” I said, it sounded right enough, they were the words women said to men who were following them and they were feeling threatened by their presence.
I had expected him to say something but he did something I never expected, a smile that could light up a dark room spread across his face, and I had to fight back a sigh,
“Really Trinidad, sighing???” That was something I would never have pictured myself doing willingly, I had a lot of sighing experience over the years but they were all perfectly acted out, but this was the first time I wanted to sigh willingly and the thought infuriated me greatly,
And when I was having an internal war with myself, the jerk started to lower his head toward mine, his intention was crystal clear in his eyes, his eyes were focused on my lips and the heat I saw in his eyes told me what he intended,
I will normally feel disgusted by such heated gazes, but somehow, just somehow, I felt flattered by the look he was giving me,
Then panic set in, Sean Williams, the man I was supposed to kill in less than a week was about to kiss me and this wasn’t even part of my plan, I couldn’t let him kiss me, just by having him this close was already messing with sense of reasoning, I could only imagine what will happen when he kissed me so in a moment of panic and confusion, I raised my hand and delivered a solid blow to his jaw,
He stepped back quickly grabbing his jaw and massaging it, and I could not believe I had just struck that perfect face,
I kept looking at him to see his reaction, the normal reaction from the pigs I usually encountered was to suddenly attack me and start yelling profanities and calling me all sort of names, but the man before me started laughing,
He massaged his jaw with a smile on his face “That’s one solid hit Miss, it is Miss I hope? Because I will hate to find out that I just made a move on a married woman” he said,
His voice was deep and made shivers travel down my spine, I pushed that thought out of my mind “It’s Miss and if you try anything like what you just did I will be make sure you wake up in the hospital” I said,
He laughed again, it was deep and rich “Well I do deserve that, I acted totally like a street thug and for that I apologize, give me a chance to start over” he said and smiled again,
I really felt like running in the opposite direction, I was still not sure why I had to kill Sean Williams, but to complete my mission swiftly, I had to have easy access to him, my mission was easier with him already liking me without me doing anything, but I still felt very uneasy about the whole thing but I needed to do what was expected of me,
With that thought in mind, I allowed a small smile cross my face and said “My mother always taught me to give people second chances, so for my mother’s sake, I will give you a second chance and see if you are worthy of it”
A smile spread across his face again, he took a step closer to me and stretched his hand toward me “I am Sean Williams but please call me Sean” he said and winked at me,
I fought back a smile and looked down at his outstretched hand, taking a deep breath, I placed my slim one in his,
“Amelia, Amelia Sinclair” I said,
He looked at my hand in his and said “It really is a pleasure to meet you Amelia Sinclair, a pleasure indeed”
A smile playing on the corners of his lips and right at that moment, I knew this was going to be one of the most difficult assignments of my career.
