Chapter Six

Leena

I looked at the door in panic, palms sweating. George's face was expressionless but I didn't miss the rigid posture he had.

Damn it! How could I have ended up in bed with this man?

The knock came again and he moved, I forced myself to walk to the other end of the room, hidden from the doorway. I heard the door open but I didn't hear the conversation with whoever was on the other side.

After a few seconds, I heard the door close.

"Who was that?"

"The hotel staff" He answered gruffly.

I heaved a sigh of relief, but the panic came in an instant as I wondered why the hotel staff had come to look for me.

"What did they want?" I asked

"Something was dropped off for you at the lobby" My frown deepened but I nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

We stood there, not saying anything.

"I should get dressed," I said, finally moving.

"Yeah," He said blankly and I met his eyes.

"I don't know how this happened. We shouldn't have...." I let the rest of my words die in my mouth.

"Did you do this?" he questioned and I frowned at him

"What do you mean by that?" I raised my voice, annoyed.

"This..." he pointed to both of us.

"Of course not" I snapped. "I would never have anything to do with someone who is married. I should be asking you that..." He started to speak again but he was interrupted by the ping of a text on his phone.

I watched his expression harden and I sensed annoyance as he read the text.

"Get dressed. I'll drop you off" He ordered.

"No way. I'm not going anywhere with you"

He was insane to think I'd leave this room with him.

What if we were spotted by reporters? I could only imagine the chaos it would cause.

The tabloids.

"I'm not asking, so unless you want me to carry you out of here and cause a scene, you'll do as I have said" I stared him down but his expression didn't budge which led me to believe that he was not joking.

"Get dressed" He ordered again.

I grabbed my clothes and rushed into the bathroom. I stood before the mirror and took in my appearance.

What have you done?

I debated calling Genna to come and get me but instantly dismissed it. I put on my clothes and stepped outside. George was doing the button of his shirt and my eyes traveled to his half-opened body.

My eyes remained glued like a magnet to his delicious body.

I couldn't understand my body's reaction to him. The heat that I feel when I stare and the longing to be next to him.

Was it because I hadn't been with a man in such a long time? That was the easiest conclusion but the intensity convinced me that it was something more.

"Are you done staring?" The question snapped me out of my trance.

"You wish" I mumbled under my breath.

He finished dressing up and then grabbed his phone.

"My driver is downstairs"

"I already said I could handle myself" I made another attempt to leave without him.

"Let's head downstairs Leena" The sound of my name from his mouth, pulled at something in my head.

Something familiar

"Leena.." he called again.

"Yeah..." I walked out first when he opened the door. I kept my eyes down as we headed down to the lobby and I headed to the front desk.

"My parcel?" I asked.

"Name please?"

"Leena Kensington" The lady looked confused as she went through her system.

"I don't have a parcel for you. Are you expecting something?" She asked

"Someone came up to my room to inform me of my parcel" she shook her head.

"We don't do that here ma'am. A call would have been placed directly to your room. If we had received something for you"

"Any issues?" George's voice came suddenly, his body close to mine.

"They don't have anything for me," I said and pushed away from the counter separating bodies.

"Let's leave here" I don't argue, following him quickly. In no time, we are in the privacy of his car.

"I'll have the hotel pull up the surveillance and identify the male who stopped by your room" I nodded

"Thank you" I mumbled softly.

"To Miss Kensington’s home," He instructed the driver and relaxed.

Do they know my home? I glanced at him.

"Addresses were listed in the documents sent over," He said as if he could tell what was going on in my head.

I don't remember filling in personal details but I don't question any further. The drive continued in silence until there was an unexpected stop and I jolted forward.

A hand stopped my crash into the back of the driver's seat.

"What the hell? Are you okay Leena?" He asked, his voice thick with emotion and fear.

"I'm okay.... it was sudden?"

"Are you sure?" He checked me all over like there was something more that had happened.

"What the hell Collins?" He went off on his driver.

"A dog suddenly ran to the middle of the road, forgive me" He was about to speak again but I grabbed his arm.

"It's okay. I am fine" The raging light in his eyes died and we just stared at each other.

Something intense cackled between us and I felt my body heat up. His thumb gently brushed the back of my hand and I pulled away, breaking our connection.

"Keep driving" He ordered and I looked away, keeping my focus outside the window until I arrived at my home. He was out of the door before I could say anything and opened my door. I ignored his outstretched hands and climbed out on my own.

"Thank you for the ride" He nodded but didn't move away from my view.

"I'll see you at the office" He smirked and moved away, allowing me to walk away.

He got into the car and drove off while I stared at the disappearing car and I wondered why my body reacted in such a manner when it came to him.
