Fragile But Deadly

Charles confused the spark in Phoenix's eyes for admiration and this made him swell with more pride.

He was not just the ideal and dream guy of every young lady in Duras city, he was also the reputable accountant who managed some of David Kingston's accounts with an iron fist. Being affiliated with the Kingston's name meant respect, power, and authority.

Like most wealthy men in Duras city, Charles saw himself as a collector. Anything he fancied, he acquired irrespective of the low or middle-class owner of such property.

Feeling self-entitled, he beamed inwardly while staring into Phoenix's eyes and imagining how good she would be in bed.

When he pictured her naked, he unconsciously licked his lips as if he was savoring her juice.

'She has to grace my bed tonight,' he smiled before speaking up. "Now that you know a little about who I am, can I know something about you?"

"Hmm... " The corner of Phoenix's eyes glinted with disguised darkness that Charles couldn't decode. She was able to read every voluntary and involuntary expression he displayed without reacting to it.

Being a sex slave to so many men in her past life, she could read every action of a man's lustful move like the back of her hand.

Even though all the muscles in her body strained to rip out Charles's jugular, she held back her peace, while fantasizing about the pleasure she would derive from torturing Charles and watching him die slowly.

"In a moment, you will get to know my name. But for now, I would like to tell you a little bit about my dream ever since I finished college."

"Wow, nice! I can't wait to hear all about them. But first, can you accompany me to my car? I would like us to leave this noisy place and go somewhere more private."

"That would be fantastic after I finish my breakfast. You wouldn't want to separate a hungry girl from her dream sandwich now, would you?" A devilish smirk danced at the corner of Phoenix's lips as she stared into Charles's hungry eyes.

"Not at all!" Charles tried to hide the disappointed look on his face.

"Good!" Phoenix beamed. "Do you know that it has always been my dream to work in the IT department of the DK-Somalink conglomerate?"

"Really!" Charles's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, but the painful part of this dream is that there has never been a job opening," Phoenix faked a sad look.

"Wipe that look off your face, sweetheart because your dream is about to come to reality," Charles spoke with both authority and pride.

"I can make you anything you would love to be for as long as you..." He reached for Phoenix's hand which was resting on the table and gently stroked it sensually while holding her gaze. "...are willing to play ball."

All Charles could see was the hazel eyes of the enchanting girl seated before him.

"Your gorgeousness, breakfast is served!" The cheerful male waiter returned with her order and gently placed it before her.

Although, the waiter was slightly disappointed when he noticed that the elegantly dressed man seated opposite her was flirting with her.

"Thank you..." Phoenix narrowed her eyes as she read out the waiter's name from his name tag. "... Steward. You are such a beautiful soul." Phoenix genuinely beamed at the waiter, causing the sadness in his eyes to melt away.

"Kindly put my bill on this generous man." She gestured towards Charles.

"Okay, your gorgeousness! Enjoy your breakfast!" The waiter bowed politely and left.

"If I didn't know any better, I would say that lowlife waiter was crushing on you." Charles glimmered at Phoenix as he continued stroking the back of her palm sensually.

"10,9,8,7..."

Phoenix counted the numbers one to ten in reverse order to steady her brewing monstrous anger. She slowly brought down her free hand and rested it on her thigh, while clenching and unclenching it.

The fact that Charles had broken personal boundaries by touching her, slowly awakened the temporal hibernating demons in her. However, since she needed him alive to gain free access to the DK-Somalink conglomerate, she decided to condone his grave mistake.

"Charles..." Phoenix swiftly took his trespassing hand into hers and squeezed the life out of it, causing him to wince in pain. "Do you like bad or rough girls?" She moistened her lips and tilted her head to the side fascinatingly.

"B...b...bad girl!" Charles stuttered with difficulty as he could feel his fingers' bones cracking under her iron grip. His face was puffed up and reddened. His misty eyes were like those of someone on the verge of flooding the canal with tears.

"Well, you're in luck because I'm both." Phoenix released his hand when she observed that he was about to mess up his pants.

"Argh!"

Charles groaned deeply in pain while massaging his hurting hands. Just when he was about to protest and threaten her for almost breaking his fingers, he felt something mind-blowing happening between his slightly parted thighs.

"Do you like it?" Phoenix took a spoon of salad into her mouth and gently chewed on it while keeping her new prisoner spellbound to the miracle of her moving lips and her vigorously massaging toes.

"Oh, baby!" Charles bit down on his lower lips to stifle a groan that almost escaped his parted lips. He adjusted the tie around his neck as he felt suffocated due to the heat rising to his face. He was amazed at the calmness and innocence in her eyes as she continued to set his balls on fire under the cover of the table.

Just when he thought he was about to lose his senses, he felt her withdraw her foot between his thigh.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg!" Phoenix smiled at Charles's reddened face. "I could make your dreams come true if you grant me just one wish."

"Whatever your heart desires, consider it done as long as I have you in my arms tonight." Charles shamelessly coughed out his desires.

"Wonderful! Phoenix ate a little more of her meal before excusing herself to use the ladies.
