Chapter 44

I swallowed hard. This man carries himself with an arrogance that would usually send my tummy running but instead, it ignites some form of attraction.
I find it hot when he does this thing. Being so bossy without care
“Come in,” I finally muttered and pushed the door open.
It isn’t true.
My house isn’t in a mess, I just needed some time to think and be by myself. Breaking up with Ian wasn’t the way I expected
- it.
It felt like all the emotions welling in me finally came to a burst and the turnout? Definitely messy. So it was more of me being mentally messed up than my house being messy.

He walked in and I shut the door behind him, watching him go over to the couch. That couch must just be lucky to have him sitting on it, with all his sexiness.
I couldn’t help but notice his appearance, dressed in his signature ash color chinos, his shirt was neatly ironed and his beard, shaved. I’ve always wanted to ask him about this color.
Did it also have something to do with Kyra? Maybe it was her favorite color and he just wanted to keep living in it?
I brushed that off and focused on the man in my apartment. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that he’s only here to ask me about work, his wolfish grin tells me that my thoughts are horribly naive.
“Are you going to answer me?”
I sure as hell did not hear any question so I just swallowed hard, trying to hide how hard my nipples were becoming from just hearing him talk.
“I’m sorry,” I muttered. “I didn’t get your question, sir.”
“You know I-”
“Don’t like repeating yourself,” I finished. “I’m quite aware, Mr. Hills.”
“Good.” He blurted. “You weren’t at work, Miss Kane and you didn’t deem it necessary to tell me?”
“Have I finally gotten a second strike?”
He sneered. “Strikes only come up when you flirt with other men, Miss Kane.”
“Does it only apply to all workers?”
He stood up from the couch and I watched him take a step closer to me. I swallowed hard, my legs failing me and my knees warning me to prop if he came any closer.
“Yes.”
His response was short but stern. Not exactly what I wanted so I pushed forward, hoping to get a better response from him.
“Why? Chloe says she has never gotten a strike

He looks at me, his eyes not looking at my face but trailing down to my neck and then my chest and shit.
“I’m not here for that, Miss Kane.”
“So what are you here for?” I asked him, wondering why my body was reacting so much to his closeness. He isn’t even touching me, but I can already feel my sex itch.
“To know why you’re having a breakdown.”
“What?”
I cocked an eyebrow at him because I certainly didn’t mention anything about this to anyone; not even Chloe.
I looked at his expression, trying to decipher if he knew about the breakup. Did Ian tell him?
“You look like you’ve been having one,” he blurted as if he was reading my mind.
“Oh.” I quickly tugged my hair behind my ear. “That’s what it looks like but I’m fine.”
“Well, I thought you might need someone around.”
“I don’t need anyone around,” I responded in such defensive tone.
“Are you sure about that?” He seemed too relaxed for my liking. Like he was so sure about something.
“You wouldn’t know until someone is with you and you realize how much you
needed a presence.”
“Don’t use your psychological leverage on me, Marcus.” It came out with a slight outrage.
“Do you really want me to go?” He asked, turning the table around.
Of course not.
I’d do anything to have him around, even if he doesn’t say a word to me but I can’t say that. I can’t tell him how turned on am from him just standing in front of me.
This is even longer than I expected and the fact that I have no panties beneath my T–shirt makes me feel all the tension between my thigh.
He chuckles lightly, revealing a wolfish grin. “I already got my response.”
I didn’t say anything still.
“Do you want to tell me what happened?”
No way.
“Or do you want a shoulder just like I wanted?”
My heart skipped. What does he mean by that? Does he actually remember what happened?
“Mr Hills- I’m sorry but I didn’t mean to-”
“Right.”
“I know that was so foolish of me. Selfish of me too and I’ve sperre every day since that night regretting my actions. I really did not mean to pose as Kyra or take advantage of your situation
I was obviously aware of what I was doing and even the respons I gave that made you think I was Kyra

“I knew it wasn’t Kyra.” His eyes darted back to mine and I could feel the blood in my body dry.
@72%
“It wasn’t Kyra because I heard your voice. For a moment I was confused, but I sure as hell knew who I was fucking”
He let out a low laugh and leaned into my ear. “Did you really think I didn’t know that was you?”
My nipples pebbled as his deep voice hummed against my earlobe.
Since my dress isn’t thick and I’m not wearing a bra, if Marcus looks down right now, he’ll know exactly how much he’s affecting me.
“Or are you just acting ignorant?”
He rubs his nose against my cheek. “I’d rather you act like you know what you want ‘cause I do, and that’s why I’m here.”
My breathing pattern increased and my chest rose and fell with each breath. His hands reached my thigh and fuck, I felt the build–up. There was so much going on in my head and if he took just another step closer with his hands, he’d find out everything.
God, why am I so anxious? I’m normally a confident woman; quite outspoken with what I want but this guy throws me off kilter.
He placed his hand on my bare thigh and gave me a predatory grin. “But I can let you be if you are uncertain of what you want, Miss Kane.”
And just like that, he stepped back and took a few steps to the door. Wait what?
How on earth was he going to come in here, get me painfully horny, and leave. Just like that? Hell no.
