The L Word (Lust or Love)

Chapter Sixteen

It sounds ridiculous to Siara when she thought if she accepted Jonathan's offer to work as his personal assistant. She just resigned from Nick's PA in Brentley co. and it would be awkward for her to work in her former boss partner. And to think of it, Jonathan already had Andrew as his personal assistant, so why did he need her now? It really was sounds weird.

But that thought was already behind her 3 months ago. It took exactly two weeks to convinced her for work with Jonathan, of course along with mind blowing s*x day and night he gave it to her. Now she enjoyed it very much to work with him. With better salary of course. Jonathan expanded his business by opened a branch in Indonesia. Whenever Jonathan in Jakarta, she should accompany him for his work and when he was back to London she was in charge to his company. Andrew was still his personal assistant but he was assigned when Jonathan came back to London which was very often considering his main office was there. Even though there's s****l tension every time they were in the office, both Siara and Jonathan tried their best efforts to kept it professional. She doesn't want what was happened between her and Nick was happen again. She know better that office was strictly only for work. She told him that and Jonathan respected it well. He never forced himself to women for all his life. That was something he was proud of. To respect every woman.

Siara already told Bianca what was happened to her since Nick's. To said Bianca angry was understatement. The woman was fumed. She wanted Nick dead in her hand. But Siara told her that Jonathan was her savior. He saved her at the right time. And she told her too that she accepted his offers to work with him. Siara still remembered Bianca was squealed with happiness as she delivered this news. Bianca also expected there was steamy s*x story in the office. Siara was gasping with her best friend dirty thought. Reminded her why she was loved her best friend so much. Bianca sure was a feisty and carefree woman, opposite to Siara.

"Kiss for your thought?"

Siara whipped her head to the deep, husky voice in front of her.

"Hmm?"

Jonathan shrugged his shoulder, "It just... You were lost in the train of thoughts. Mind to share?"

Siara shook her head, "It's okay. Just thinking something in the past. How long until we arrived in London?"

"About..." He looked to his watch, "Four more hours or so."

She sighed, "Still a long way to go."

"You bored?"

"Kind of." She murmured, fidgeting in her seat, "Not a fan of flying."

Jonathan lips twitched up, "Maybe I can do something to make your time worth a while."

"And that is?"

Jonathan doesn't said anything but his mischievous eyes and smiled was enough answered to Siara's question. She groaned followed with blushing by Jonathan's dirty mind. The man was surely insatiable hungry for her. It was like he never got enough of her body. She just plain as vanilla. So why this gorgeous man always asked her for s*x? It was not like she complained about it. She enjoyed it just as much as he was.

What amazed her, she doesn't developing feeling for him. Something she would never guessed. It was different from her relationship with Julian. With her ex, she sure developed her feeling towards him the moment they shared their lust on the bed, which two months after their first introduction on Tinder. Yeap, she knew Julian through social media and it was turned out to be something more for them both. But as she recall her first meeting with Jonathan and whatever already happened between them, she never felt those feeling like she felt with Julian. It was like her heart was not functioning anymore since Julian broke her heart. It was already six months but she still thought about Julian. Well, not often as before but still, the memories of him still lingering in her mind.

"Why don't we play 20 questions? You, foreign people must like about those things right?" Siara suggested.

Jonathan folded his arms on the table, "Fine then, I'll go first." Siara nods, "Why you live alone in that apartment of yours?"

"Wow." She breathed, "Getting intimate already?"

He shrugged, "Well, you don't put up any rules."

She laughed, "True but I expected more like favorite color or food."

"Already know about that. Just answer the question, Siara. You suggest this game." He commanded.

"Yes, sir." Rolling her eyes, then she cleared her throat, "I live in the apartment because I live alone, far away from parents and close by to work."

He raised his eyebrow, "Your parents out of country? Or city?"

"That's your question number two?"

"Siara." Jonathan's serious tone was resounded through his private plane.

Siara puts her hand in surrender mode, "Okay, okay boss." She paused, "More like far away... in heaven."

Jonathan's eyes widened. Surprised was filled through his face, "s**t. I'm sorry, Siara, that was a sensitive question. I didn't know."

She laughed again, ignored her sadness by mentioned about her parents, "That's okay, Jonathan. They were long gone. I thought you hired a private investigator?"

"Yeah, I was." He nodded, "But never searched about your family. What happened to them?"

She sucked a deep breath. Not wanted to looked him in the eye. She just looked to her glass above her table.

"Plane crashed."

"Fuck."

She heard his swore then looked up to him. The man was unbuckled his seatbelt and got up from his seat. Jonathan moved from his seat then sit to vacant chair beside her. Without said another word, he hugged her tightly. Siara was actually surprised by his action. Well Jonathan was full of surprises to her. His unpredictable acted was always made her swoon for him.

"That's why you fidgeting." He whispered more to himself, "You were scared and I didn't know. I'm sorry."

She smiled by his genuine gesture, "It's okay. I'm fine now. Like you said, I'm safe with you, right?"

That got Jonathan smiled wide it hurt his cheeks. He pulled away, "Of course you are, my goddess. Why not staying with your other relative?"

"I did." She caressed his forearm, "Until I graduated from college. I already got a job by then when I was in college, third year. Then I saved some for rent apartment the moment I graduated. But still my aunts, my uncles, both from my mom and dad side, helped me so much since I lived alone. Even Bianca and her family made me like one of their family. I was still taken care of."

"That feisty woman?" Siara chuckled then nods, "She's a keeper. Why not with your siblings? What happened to them?"

"I would if I have. I'm the only child, Jonathan." She smiled, assuring him she was fine, "What about you? How many siblings did you have?"

Siara felt his jaw stiffened, so does his body, "Only one little brother and a cocky bastard."

Siara gasped, "How can you say that to your brother?"

"Because it's the truth."

"But-"

"Siara." His voice was so deep and felt with so much venom. She looked to met with his angry eyes. "Ask me another question."

It could be bad to know Jonathan's angry face. Siara witness this too much since she started worked for him. His dominance was appeared and Siara know better to not engage it. She dropped her further question about his brother. Maybe some another time.

She gulped, "Okay."

He sighed, "I did't mean to scare you." He caressed her right cheek with his knuckle, "I just don't want to revive the bad memories, that's all."

"It's okay." She whispered, "How many ex-girlfriend did you have?"

Jonathan laughed to her question. Made him lighten his sour mood. The woman surely know how to handle his rage. She's definitely a keeper, his mind said.

"Ex-girlfriend, not so much. Maybe two or three." His gaze shot through the ceiling, "But fling? Too much to count."

He replied that while smirked. Clearly showed off his pride to made woman kneel before him. Siara slapped his chest playfully but that action only made Jonathan burst to laughter more loudly. After he was calm down from his laugh, Siara opened her mouth again. Her question made Jonathan stunned.

"Am I a fling too to you, Jonathan?"

He averted his gaze from the ceiling to her lightly make up face. He looked to her with intense gaze. Siara never felt bold like now to looked him in the eye, his gorgeous green eyes that hypnotized her body and mind. Like Bianca always told her. She needed to established whatever her relationship with Jonathan now so she knew where she was standing with him. Jonathan took a deep breath after silence was filled their intense burning gaze on each other. Jonathan pulled Siara's knuckle to kissed it and replied her dreading question.

"You're mean so much more to me, my goddess. Never forget that."
