ch 8 (esme)

"Ceo Deimos"

"Dr. Aryan" 

"I'll give you two some space" said Zion giving me a kiss in the forhead, placing his hand around my waist.

This man is really playing with fire, though I can't deny how sexy that was. While Zion waited in the kitchen I took Ceo Deimos to my office pouring him a shot of Tequila, his favorite.

"Why are you here?"

"I would like to discuss about earlier-Ceo Ling I am serious. You need...we need each other and it's clear"

"Why would you need of me? You're the one who's been spitting venom my way all these years"

"...you need to sell those properties and I'm willing to buy them, regardless of the price."

"I don't see how you need me. And no,I do not need those properties to be sold. I need someone who can hold them for me until I figure out what to do with them..." there was a silence between us. A silence so annoying like in the movies where you're waiting for something exciting to happen but your let down.

Yet that silence felt nice, just us staring back at each other. Breathing the same air.

"Please leave we have nothing else to discuss" I said getting up from my seat ready to walk him out.

"I have a half brother. -He-He's willing to fight for the Ceo position." He said turning to face me as I let go of the doorknob.

"Half brother? I thought you were an only child?"

"...*sigh*" I can see the stress in his eyes as he retold the story. Apparently his father had an affair child years after he was born. His father tried keeping it a secret and it worked but the son seeing how successful the company was decided to come out of the shadows.

He is now threatening to reveal the truth about who he is and fight for the Ceo position.

"The board of directors are trying to fight against him but my family elders who were against my mother are pushing this absurd idea forward"

"But you carry more then him. You can easily end his life or threats why not-"

"For the sake of my grandmother. He has stronger chances, he is not only married but has three children and another on the way. The board of directors tell me the way his life is he can easily win. After all he has a successor, his older son."

"So you need me in order to win the Ceo position." Just like the presidential election, every four years people can run for Ceo,but that's only if they have what it takes. I never had to deal with that nonsense because of my "old money power"

"Ceo Ling I made a promise to your father that if there were a time where I'll lay my life down for him I would. And his promise to me was he-"

"He'd do the same and if not him, me...with this" I said taking out some documents that have been hidden away for emergency purposes only.

The documents are one year contracts between  two involving parties who are in need of each other's assistance. Now the contract can be anything with little to no limits as to what exactly. The only requirement or "deal" is certain rules placed by the holder which is me.

"He told you?"

"My father told me a lot of things and one of those is only using this as a way to benefit the Ling name. I can not get into detail now but we can arrange a meeting. I'll have-"

"Tomorrow is fine with me. I'll be busy for the remainder of the week dealing with all this."

"Very well. I'll contact you"

After walking him out I went back to my office. It's funny to think that it's him who crawls to me knowing how much he hates me. The question is how much can we help each other out.

His family is well acquainted with my family, after all we are bloody old money. Meanwhile they are more of let's say rich clean bastards who faught for what they have. We come from a line of well known Mafia bosses.

Actually that's how the whole Empire started. His family knows well enough the ties we have and how much we control. If marriage were to happen he'll keep his position and I'll keep the properties.

"Everything all right?"

"Mm? Oh yes no need to worry"

Determined not to spoil my night I forced my thoughts aside .

"Hey can you help me bring down the plates on top" I said trying to reach the top cabinet.

"Uhh yes"  he said as he came to help me. Standing at five feet it's hard for me to reach certain things. Honestly it's hard to see the world at times.

I wear heels to make up for my hight and it's funny to think how many fear me.

As he was reaching for the plate he looked down at me. That's when I really took note of his facial features. His dark brown eyes resemble a morning coffee. His facial hair brought attention to his lips. His scent gave off a sweet and musky smell.

Almost as if smelling fresh leather. I snapped out of it in time before I did something. My body must admit how turned on it was, being so close to him.

After dinner we sat at the couch and watched a movie enjoying some snacks and drinks.

"You look tensed, here let me give you a massage"  he insisted as he got up from his spot walking around to where I was.

He pulled my hair away from my shoulders and started massaging away my stress. His hands are stronger then I thought.

His left hand rubbed my left shoulder while his right hand started making his way to my throat. If he was anyone else I would have killed him by now but I trust him.

With his hand around my neck I let out a small moan. Not enough to hear it but enough to turn things around.

"You like that kitten?" He asked. I had my eyes closed but I imagine him giving a vicious smirk. I've known about his affection towards me me for some time now.

"That's enough, it's getting late and we have work tomorrow" I said not really wanting it to end.

"I'm good,I only have two patients. "

"*moan* That feels really nice"

"OH really? I can give me you a full back massage if you're interested"

"Actually I would like that" I replied getting up leading both of us into my bedroom.

Compared to my office my room is a bit larger with a full bathroom and two walk in closets. The bed, a California King laid next to the window. I jumped into bed gathering my hair into a messy bun.

"Do you have some massage oil?"

"Yes in the bathroom"

"Ill need to pull your shirt up"

"Ok"

Sitting next to me he poured the oil and started working. The feeling of his hands sent tingles all over my body. Pictures of his body earlier played in my mind. Its a sin to say I imagine him naked on top of me.  Fucking me, kissing all over me, pulling my hair.

Stop. Thinking. About. It
