Chapter 4 Desire

Sarah

I woke up the next morning and my baby was still sleeping soundly on the bed, it's my first time in this house and I could barely sleep last night, Williams was the only thing I could think of, I still have not gotten over what happened yesterday, it still baffles me that I'm no longer with my husband and no matter how I think about it I can't remember how I went from being in my office at work to waking up in an entire different room with another man on the same bed, and no matter how I think about it, everything that happened was planned by those people, I just happened to fall into their trap.

I used to work as William's personal advisor in his company which means I help to advise him on the necessary and important steps to take in other to avoid dangers and control the company accordingly, throughout the past years I've stood in the dark as his back bone and helped him grow the  company to the level it is today, and the fact that he forgot everything without turning back is crazy, but it's fine cause I have a new life now, my son and I are going to be fine, I just hope I don't meet his family ever again.

I'm thirsty and need something to drink, besides this is the time I used to wake up back in my ex-husband’s family to make breakfast for everyone. 

I made my way downstairs and everywhere was so quiet it's just 6:AM in the morning, I've noticed that ever since I got here I've not seen anyone else in this mansion except from the soldiers that came back with us that later left I haven't seen anyone else, could it be that what he said is true, he mentioned that he live a private life, does he not feel lonely? Lorenzo Apollio, what type of man are you?

I looked around the whole mansion and I don't even know how to locate the kitchen, I decided to walk around to see if I can find it, I was searching around when I heard sounds of something frying so I decided to follow the sound and slowly I began to smell the aroma of fried chicken, the aroma was so good that I wondered who was making such dish this early morning.

The aroma led me to a door which was wide open, as I stopped right before the door the view right before my eyes was completely out of this world, I thought the food was supposed to be mouthwatering but the view before my eyes got me unintentionally salivating and licking my lips, 

He was not just shirtless, but he was also packed with sexy muscles, and the fact that he cooks this way shows that he's used to it, I don't know for how long I've been standing and staring at him, 

“Thought you're here to get something” His voice immediately snapped me out of my thought, I cleared my throat cause I was already caught, how the hell did he see me even without turning his head, I walked fully into the kitchen

“Good morning” I greeted and walked straight to the fridge, and grabbed a bottle of water

“Hope you had a great night?” He asked

“Hmmm” I hummed and came to stand beside him, 

“What are you making?”

“Scrabbled egg and toasted bread, I'm making breakfast for everyone” 

“You're making breakfast for everyone?’’ I asked in shock cause I've never seen Williams in the kitchen before not to talking of cooking 

“Of course, I can't expect you to cook when you just arrived yesterday, you must be tired and you have a baby to take care of, besides making breakfast is not a big deal”

I don't know what happened but for some reasons I found myself admiring him, 

“I've never met any man that cooks for a woman before” I said leaning on the counter, he glance at me and went on with what he was doing 

“Are you saying your ex husband never cooked for you before?” 

“No he didn't, I was the one doing the cooking” 

“What about when you gave birth, did he still allow you to cook”

“Hmm, maybe because I enjoy doing it” 

“You do?” 

“Kind of” 

“Here you can always cook whenever you want to, and the days you feel tired I'll take over, women are not slaves and the kitchen is not separately meant for anybody, so we can do it together I don't mind” 

Why do I find myself admiring this man, the fact that he says everything with a straight face shows how much power he controls, he's not even trying to flirt with me, he's staring the fact, and even without doing anything I find myself admiring him so much, what if he does something, I would be a gone, 

Right now I fear that he's the perfect rebound I need in order to forget Williams, but he'll Lorenzo is fucking hot, young, powerful and rich, what if I get caught in a web of crazy love fantasy while using him as a rebound, I'm sure someone like him would never fall for a single mother like me, he made it clear that this is strictly exchange, so I better be careful, 

“Ouch…..!” I wince as a splatter of the oil almost got into my eyes,

“Shit! Are you okay?” Lorenzo quickly turned off the gas and cupped my face, I was mesmerized cause it's my first time standing so close to him in an intimate position, he was blowing air into my eyes but I was lost staring at his gray eyes, everything about this man is so fucking gorgeous, his lips, his thick eyebrows, his straight jawline, pointed nose, fuck he's who he thinks he is, I'm sorry but Williams does not come closer to this man right here

“Do you feel better?” 

I know I was supposed to answer him but why do I find myself leaning close for a kiss, 

Our lips are inches apart at this point, and the fact that he did not even resist is crazy, I was so close 

“Can I kiss….”

I haven't finished my sentence when he wrapped his hand around my neck and slammed his lips on mine,
