Chapter 4

*Alexander's point of view*

I don't know what came over me. Just listening to the old man who looked as if he was on some form of drug, talk down to Louise and treat her like dirt made me see red. I had a sudden urge to pummel his face in. Clenching my fists, I shoved my hands in my pocket as I tried to calm myself down before I did something drastic and stupid. I am a well renown businessman with a reputation to uphold, no way under any consequences was I going to allow some woman I didn't really know, ruin that for me.

Getting my thoughts and feelings a reality check, I was about to politely excuse myself when I saw the horrible excuse of a man latch fiercely onto her arms. The string holding my already wavering self-control seemed to snap.

Before I knew it, my arm was snaking itself around her narrow waist, dragging her away from the scumbag and into my arms. My libido went crazy at the feel of her against my body. I instantly went hard. My spontaneous reaction to her left my mentally stumped, it was something I couldn't seem to control.

I was only half aware of what was coming out of mouth as half my mind was occupied by the Little sparks coursing through my body. It wasn't a particularly good feeling, more like when your legs go dead and you attempt to walk straight away.

A strange mix of pain and pleasurable. slightly erotic.

I was only snapped out of the blind rage I seemed to be in when I felt Louise go tense in my arms. Making a snap decision that could just as easily backfired, I ordered her to collect her stuff and inadvertently quit for her before walking off to make a phone call to my HR team.

'Hello, yes, I would like a new contract for my personal secretary drawn up and at my office in twenty minutes, am i understood?' I barked down the line, feeling slightly agitated for a reason unknown to me, 'Also please be ready with Mr.Scotts severance cheque, he no longer works for the company as of today.'

Hanging up, I felt a deep satisfaction at knowing I no longer needed to trust my company in the hand of the blundering idiot Scott, at least that's what I had hoped was the reason behind it, but as I approached the staff room, Louise not waiting outside, apprehension filled me.

Marching up to the door, I yanked it open before growling at the woman in front of me who seemed so into disobeying me.

'I thought I told you five minutes?' I growled at her before grabbing her surprisingly heavy box of personal items. i didn't see where she had stored the stuff, it seemed like everyone had designated lockers that were the size for a book. for the prices charged here, the manager sure skimped out on the amenities of his employees's.

Before I knew what hit me, I had a sexy but angry woman of only five feet jabbing her dainty fingers in my face and trying to appear all intimidating.

I wanted to laugh at her but knew that it would get me a slap so smartly I kept my mouth shut.

'And i thought you needed to learn some manners,' she snapped at me as she took what was supposed to be a menacing step forward yet only looked like a lost puppy trying to stand up to the wolf.

'Who do you think you are, ordering me around like that! I am not a dog or a pet and I most certainly am not and never will belong to you, you arrogant jackass!!'she cried, her face red from all her huffing and puffing. she reminded me of pepper pig.

'Are you done?' I said sarcastically, quirking my eyebrows at her before turning around and walking out of the room and restaurant. i knew she was behind me as I heard the rapid patter of feet as she tried to keep up with my long strides.

Spotting my driver, I deposited Louise's box of stuff before opening the door of my car and turning around to see a very red-faced and out of breath women who actually looked as if she was about to pass out.

'After you,' i said flashing her the smile that got me most things I wanted.

it was returned with a glare before she shut the door and opened it again herself before climbing in.

rolling my eyes at her stubbornness, I walked around the vehicle and got in.

'was that really necessary?' I asked as I eyed her defensive stance that still managed to look adorable.

'yes it was, I don't need a man to open a door for me, god gave me arms for a reason,' she sniffed, her head held high, ' and I like my independence thank you very much.'

Letting out a frustrated sigh, I knew tat I was gonna have to be the bigger person here and apologize, especially if I was to get what I wanted off her.

I can afford to lose a battle as long as I win the war.

'if this is about earlier, I apologize,' i said sincerely as I slightly turned my body to face her, 'i in now way think you are a dog or a pet, and do not intend in taking your independence away.'

'Thank you for apologizing for your behavior, I too apologize as i may have slightly over reacted,' she said bashfully smiling at me gently before turning to look out of the window.

leaning closer towards her, I was once again assaulted by her sultry smell and my body reacted of its own accord again. My arms wrapping around her waist and my face nuzzling in the crook of her neck.

A sense of comfort came over me, home.

'What are you doing?' I heard her stutter, I could feel her pulse jumping around erratically at my closeness to her. running a hand down her arm, I smiled in satisfaction when her body shuddered in pleasure. placing gentle kisses on her collar bone and neck, i worked my way up her jaw until i reached her face. placing a light kiss on the corner of her mouth, i whispered,

'you might not know it yet, but trust me when i say this. you are mine. you may think you don't want me but your body betrays you, but don't worry I won't make a move until you're completely ready.,' placing another kiss on the opposite side of her mouth, and one on her nose, it took all my self-restraint to pull away from her completely.

I instantly missed her warmth and sense.

Damn!
