CHAPTER 002

We stared at each other. I mean, I stared at him. I was sure I was the one doing the staring, all he did was dig into his food and ate.

It was not as if I wasn’t hungry but I couldn’t help but stare. The thing kept nagging in my head. 

How the Fuck did I get aroused from only a handshake.

I tried so hard to take out the image of his face from my mind but I couldn’t. Those emerald green eyes bear seating into my mind as if it didn’t want to leave.

“So eh ... .did you go to college?” he asked and I jolted out of my thoughts. He was staring at me, his dark brows furrowed, as he took in my confused expression.

“College? No? My uhhh dad’s family didn't deem it fit that I was worthy to go to college” I said bitterly and his green eyes studied me curiously.

“Didn’t deem it fit?” He repeated and I sighed. I hated talking about this but it was okay to share, especially with my father’s friend—scratch that, best friend

“I meant my Dad’s family took all he left for me and didn’t even let me attend college. Those idiots” I said and finally decided to eat my food. Hmm, this is good.

Mark's eyes darkened, even turned real hostile for a moment and he growled audibly.

“Those fuckers, Paul was right. They are all power hungry tight assed wolves.

Tight assed. Why did this feel like a bird’s song coming from his mouth?

I must be crazy.

“So no one to help huh?” He asked and I nodded, forcing myself to focus on the subject at hand not his still-perfect jawline.  “How did you survive?”

I sighed and stared at my half eaten meal. Wait, how did I eat that so fast?

“I had to struggle on my whole. We’ll be a bitch sometimes and a bit hot headed, thing is I did survive” I answered and he chuckled, a sound that made the hairs on my arm stand and I clamped my thighs together before I could think anything naughty.

“You’re one hell of a strong girl”

“Woman” I corrected and he nodded. His green eyes roamed my body.

“Woman” he repeated softly. “I can see that”

‘Yeah, you just checked my boobs sir’  I said inwardly. But I didn’t like the way he was staring at me like I was a little girl.

“Your father would be proud” he muttered and I nodded. Indeed

We ate the rest of our meal in silence. When we were done he paid the waiter and grinned at me. 

“I have gifts for you Sage” he said and I stared at him uncertainly, still recovering from his charming smile.

“Yeah, one is that I am going to be promoting you as my personal secretary,” he said and I gasped. Personal

Secretary? 

“Umm I am sure that’s too much sir” I said and he cocked his head to the side.

“No it’s not” he started to walk away. “Come on, I want to drive you somewhere and oh call me Mark not sir”

Yes, I mean no—fuck. What was wrong with me?

We slipped into the car and he drove off. My mind raced, it’s been hours now and I can’t still get him out of my head, the image of his calloused hands in mine, shaking it. Now my head was filled with images of those hands, spreading my thighs, playing with my clit, dipping inside………

“Sage?” That deep voice came and I jumped, my head nearly hitting the roof.

“Sir? Uhh Mark?

“You look like you were about to pass out. Thinking of your dad?” He asked and I nodded.

If only that was what I was thinking of. What the hell is wrong with me today?”

How on earth did one go from being near impossible to aroused to being on a libido so high that I was afraid I was going to force myself on Mark. Now that I thought about it, it took all my willpower not to actually follow through with my thoughts.

“We are here” he announced and parked the car in what looked to be a car dealership store. Wait, is this Davinci Wheels World? This was the biggest car store in the states. Why are we here?

“You’ll see” he said and I realized that I had said that out loud. I had to be careful, I might just say the perverted things in my head. We got down from the car and I followed him to the place he walked. I watched as the men around bowed their heads slightly in respect and I stared at him in surprise.

“I am dangerous,” he said with a wink and I sighed. He was aware right? He was aware of the things he was doing to me, he had to be, because why did my stomach lurch from just a single wink.

Oh god.

I was wet again, maybe I needed to see a therapist, this wasn’t normal, it wasn’t right. My mind kept telling me that:

This man is old enough to be your father, girl.

But my head wasn’t listening, I wanted this man, this man who still had a sharp jawline at Forty one. How was that even possible?

“Here” he said, stopping in front of a………

Was that a freaking lambo?

“She looks good eh?” He said and I stared at him, I had always wanted a car, my dad had promised to buy me one before he died in that accident. I stared at him gratefully.

“Thank you” I said and he put a hand on my shoulder and I clamped my thighs together.

Damn. Don’t flood the juices, pussy. Please listen to me, you’re part of me.

“Anything you need, I am here for you” he said and my eyes drifted to those sexy looking red lips. Was he a vampire? How was he looking twenty nine at forty one.

“Anything I need?” My eyes drifted to him and held. “Anything?”
