Four.

ENRIQUE POV

I walked up to the rooftop and it was worth it. The view was breathtaking-you could practically see the whole city in an array of colors. There was a huge swimming pool at the edge of the rooftop. Everything about the hotel screamed luxury.

I had to get a breath of fresh air and come back to my equilibrium. It was like the lady April was everywhere. She made her presence known with just a simple word, touch, or gesture, heck, Adam king seemed to be in her trance all night long and so was I. I was so hard in my pants, I felt uncomfortable. What was it about this woman anyway?.

I hear footsteps climb up the stair that leads to the rooftop. I hide in the shadows because I needed this little time for myself to think. The contract wasn't going to be mine and there was only one person to blame for that.

It was her again. She walks towards the edge of the roof smiling happily, looking breathtaking with all the lights reflecting around her. She did a little twirl and I didn't know if I should be mad or treasure the moment. She loosens her hair from the band holding it and it fell around her in waves, then she took off her high heels.

I approached her without her being aware of me until I was very near her. She turns around sharply as she finally sense my presence and her smile faded. She looks stunned, anxious, and a little frightened.

"What are you doing here?"She asked looking around and noticing it was only us here.

"Such an odd question. What are you doing here" I probed moving closer to her. She quickly moved around me. She was fast.

"Nothing. I just wanted fresh air" she said in a defensive tone, with more courage.

I wonder why she's scared of me. It was a new reaction from a woman. Very odd but I find it refreshing. I wonder if I should ease her fear, maybe not. I wanted to play with her.

"Well, I'm sure you'll need fresh air considering you've been couped up with Mr. Adams for hours. You're one of those women who use their bodies to get deals right? I must say I am not surprised" I say condescendingly just to spite her. I don't know why I didn't just hate her.

The anger that hazed her eyes was priceless and I knew she was going to hit me again. She did exactly that but I caught her hand midair. She's surprised at my reflex but she shouldn't be, she was like an open book when she got angry.

"Let go of me right now you bastard," she yells struggling to remove her hand from mine. I quite like the contrast of our skin and the feeling that went up to my arms as I held her was fascinating. I still go on the offensive as I deny all the feelings she evokes in me.

" Why should I? So you can hit me because the truth hurts" I gritted out angrily and then let go of her.

" You think you have me all figured out. Well, you haven't. I don't have to sleep with anyone to get a deal, just a smile from me is enough Mr. Alvaro. Don't be such a sore loser. Mr. Adams is a friend of my father and I don't have to explain anything to you." She rushed out then took a deep breath, probably thinking of what to say to hurt me. She was composed now "it's not my fault you have no connection and goodwill at your company. I got what I deserve and you didn't earn it"

" Really?. Mr. Adams hasn't officially partnered with you yet. What makes you think before this party end I won't get what I want". I smirk as I see her let my heavy words sink. She knew I could do what I said.

" I would love to see you try" she challenges looking all relaxed.

I suddenly moved closer and she was caught off-guard she didn't move back fast enough. I had her cornered and I enjoy every minute of it. I could see her pulse leaping. She was attracted to me, she just had a way of concealing her true feeling.

She licked her lips nervously and my eyes strayed there. I couldn't stop myself as I leaned towards her but then she shoved me back.

"Are you out of your mind?. I am not one of your call girls who you think you can do anything you want with. Stay away from me" she yells and walked back down the stairs like she couldn't wait to get away from me.

I was stunned and hard. Fuck!. That woman was toying with me. I can't believe she has me acting like a bloody teenager that just got his first crush all over again.

I couldn't get her out of my head and I was going to have her. She could fight all she wants but she will end up being mine. Even if she denies what she feels, I'll unravel her until there is nothing left to hide. If there was a voice in the back of my head that told me I was getting possessive over someone I just met and that it could lead to a tragedy like in the past, I ignored it adamantly.

I walk back down the stairs taking fast strides and entered the elevator. I pressed for my floor, and patiently wait for it to descend. It felt like the longest hours of my life. It finally stops. I got out and saw her walking hurriedly down the hallway that led to the different suites, she stops at the suite opposite mine. She turns around and sees me as I walk towards her. She pressed in her code and entered her room soon as the door opened.

I smiled. This was getting interesting. I entered my room and knew that I was going to have to take a very cold shower.

APRIL POV

I entered my room trying desperately to still my beating heart. My temperature was high right now and it was all that man's fault. How dare he try to kiss me after telling me to my face that I was a slut who slept around to get deals. He wasn't that specific but I knew what he was getting at. I was not stupid to read in-between the lines.

The nerve of him. Was he trying to prove that I am a slut if I allowed him to kiss me? Who the hell did he think he was anyway.

Yes, he was hundred percent good-looking but he had a maddening attitude. So fucking rude!.

Although the reason why am so upset is that I was seriously considering giving in to my body demand when he had tried to kiss me. Damn, I have been dreaming of kissing him since the airport. It was so wrong. I shouldn't even be thinking of him at all. He was disrespectful, rude, and condescending. Argh.

"This is not you April. You're not one to let attraction cloud your better judgment. You will forget about this guy who is trying to steal your deal from you and move on" I pepped talk myself. This was so frustrating.

If there was going to be any kiss, it would be instigated by me. Not him. Never him. I would not give him that benefit.

If I want a kiss then I'll bloody do it myself and I'll walk away after the kiss like it means nothing. I would not give him the satisfaction of letting him know how he affects me. I felt like this attraction would pass soon and all these feelings would be forgotten. I just had to bury myself in work or perhaps find a substitute.

My phone rang and I check to see it was Katherine. She just never stops calling. She would have a field day if she found out I was sexually attracted to a guy. I would never hear the end of it so I decide not to pick up the call. I walk to my bedroom and made a beeline to the bathroom. I need a warm shower and then I'll listen to motivational quotes, or watch a documentary. That would calm me down for sure. Let's get to work.

BAR.

Brian twirled his drink around, a lazy smirk on his face as he sat drinking with his friend Kyle.

"I saw her dude. She was smoking, all the curves in the right places". Kyle says grinning as he took up his drink.

"Yes, and she will be mine. I've got the good looks, lots of cash and my father is Adam kings, what else can a woman want? " He said cockily.

" You're right Brian. But then April Sanders is not your typical girl. She's a tough one and we've heard stories".he said tossing back his drink and grimacing.

"Well, those men she had been with are not Brian kings. I don't take no for an answer. I will work my charm on her and just see how she falls all over me" he replied feeling all smug. He waves at a girl that passed by the door of the bar and she blushes furiously before she walks away. He gives Kyle a knowing look and Kyle shook his head.

"So is it all sex or are you serious about her" he questioned since he knew Brian's sex life.

" I'm serious about her." He stated " I want to have her and when I don't feel like having her anymore, I want no one else to have her, that's how serious I am," he said darkly then downs his glass of vodka quickly.

" You're a crazy man" Kyle grinned, slapping at his shoulder." you'll get her for sure cause I don't want you murdering anyone over her" he jokes and Brian looked at him over the rim of his glass laughing.

" Well, I don't think I have the guts to kill anyone so that's out of the equation. I don't think it would go to that extent anyway. I mean I like her and all but I won't kill anyone."

" I hear you" he sing-song and Brian just shook his head at him.

He was sure no woman could say no to the son of Adam King, but then April Sanders was a woman in her class.
