Bully

"B...boss, shall I postpone..." Lena asked hesitantly.

She was petrified to even speak with Kael when he was this angry. And almost every time it's because of something Sage did.

"No need," Kael muttered. He has a backup saved in his mail, which he can access from the company's laptop as well.

After a beat of tense silence, Michael cleared his throat.

"Did you do something to piss her off?" he inquired curiously.

Kael's mood didn't shift immediately, but his ire did. He became a little less angry.

Michael wanted to know the entire story of what he did to piss Sage off this badly. But looking at how angry Kael was, he didn't dare.

Kael black entered the meeting room on the top floor. The room had an S-shaped center table around which chairs were neatly arranged.

Several foreign delegates were seen waiting for him in the room. Everyone sat a little straighter when Kael entered the room. His intimidating aura was compelling and announced his presence even before he entered the room. The table was filled with shifters, and a few humans as well. His blazing eyes pushed his dragon to the surface.

"Let's start," Kael announced.

Michael introduced their proposal and they managed to secure the contract. His anger was simmering underneath the surface. As soon as the meeting ended, Kael left the room. His strides long and purposeful.

"Cancel my other meetings for today," he muttered before he stormed off.

"Sir, boss looks like he wants to kill Ms. Varkas," Lena pointed out.

Michael sighed heavily. It's not new. After all these years, he kind of got used to it.

"Don't worry. She will be fine," he replied confidently.

.....

In the Black manor, Vanessa and Alexander are looked elegantly and looked like they were going out. A small suitcase is sitting nearby.

"Nadia is coming back this evening. She wanted to host a party" Vanessa shared.

Alexander sighed.

"That girl and her parties. We are going out for a week and she is already hosting parties? If only she was half as sensible as Sage, i wouldn't have to worry about her" Alexander muttered.

"Don't worry, with Sage around, I am sure Nadia will be fine" Vanessa assured him.

"You are right. Lets go" Alexander replied.

That's when Kael stormed inside, looking absolutely pissed.

"Kael? What's wrong?" Vanessa asked worriedly.

"Where is Sage?" he demanded.

"Why? What happened?" Vanessa asked worriedly. She was not new to these crazy clashes between Sage and Kael. No one knows how and when this started. But as they grew older, their little fights grew stronger.

Kael didn't bother to explain or stop. He stormed upstairs, in the direction of Sage's room.

"Kael, don't hurt her," Vanessa called out just a second before he opened and stormed inside Sage's room. Her room door banged shut after him.

"Don't worry, he will not hurt her," Alexander assured her.

....

On the other hand, Sage was soaking in the bathtub when someone entered her bathroom. Before she could react, he lifted her out of the bathtub by holding both her forearms as if she weighed nothing.

"What the hell. You as*hole," Sage cursed him and tried to cover her body with both her palms.

"Ahh..." Sage hissed as her back hit the bathroom wall behind her. Both her wrists were held above her head while a very angry dragon Prince glared daggers at her. Both of them were breathing heavily, entirely for different reasons. Despite being a man whore, he is not looking at her exposed body. Shifters are not very shy about nudity. But Sage is not used to it yet. So her face is red with embarrassment. A fact which he ignored.

At 6'7, Kael Black is intimidating. His features are sharp against his olive skin tone. His jet-black hair is combed back to perfection. His body is as hard as a rock. She could feel him pressing against her soft curves while he looked ready to kill her. If it were any other man, Sage would have melted into a bony puddle. But Kael Black is not just anyone. He is her nemesis for as long as she could remember.

"Tamara Sage Varkas, did you drop my laptop in the water?" he breathed, fire.

She did. But she would die before admitting that. Pushing his buttons is her favorite thing so far. Who asked him to be a complete ass*ole to her last night? He used to bully her while growing up, and he still does.

Sage widened her doe-shaped grey eyes, feigning surprise. She is trying hard to ignore her undressed state when a male double her size is pressing his body over hers.

"What? Kael, what do you mean? You cannot accuse me without any proof. I just came from my exam. I was with Aunt Vanessa since then. When did I have time to enter your room and mess with your laptop?" she defended herself with conviction.

He narrowed his gaze skeptically. She sounded really innocent. Combined with her doe eyes and innocent expression, no one would think she would do something like this. She is tall according to human standards. But in front of Kael, she is still a foot shorter. He is built like a mountain.

"Drop the act, Sage. If I find out that you did this, then trust me, even my mom and dad will not be able to save you this time," he threatened her.

She pretended to be offended. But he knows better than anyone that she is not scared. Kael black and Tamara Sage Varkas are sworn enemies. Sage hated him for being a judgmental a*shole, and he keeps tormenting her regularly. The prince and Princess are at each other's throats almost all the time.

"Come find me when you have proof. Until then, do you mind if I finish my bath?" she muttered. His eyes widened a fraction, a movement which she didn't miss. Immediately, he let go of her, trying to look everywhere but at the naked woman in front of him. It looked like he just realized that she was naked.

"You better hope that I don't," he muttered before he stormed away.

After he left, she punched the air where he had just stood.

"Idiot," she muttered angrily. She rubbed her arms where goosebumps erupted. Her heart was beating heavily, and her cheeks were hot. She didn't want to admit that an angry dragon was the reason why her feminine bits were awake.
