Aaron's pov

We have fuc*ed many times till now . It was our everyday routine back in Seattle.

But today, seeing her laying on my bed, in my room. Naked and eager. Made me reluctant.

It's just Sex

What's there to be reluctant about? But the answer was quite simple.

It's her eyes.

Those brown innocent orbs of that girl I see instead of Andriana's beautiful blue ones,laying under me. Staring at me.

Those lustrous lips that stutter when I am around her.

Asking me what was I doing? Why did I kiss her that night , drunk when I loved Andriana.

Fuc*!

This felt wrong, sinful almost.But why? That girl meant nothing to me, that night just being a mistake.

"Aaron what happened? Are you stressed about something?"

Andriana's words brought me out of my thoughts. As I blankly stare at her.

Her fingers, tracing down my naked chest seductively. As she bites her lip, eager for us to continue.

But I don't.

Clenching my fists beside her head on the mattress. As I was hovering on top of her, her body submitting under me.

"Aaron?"

She calls me again. And I lift myself up from her, running my hand through my hair.

Damn it

Not caring to wear my shirt, I see my cell ringing and I excuse myself from her. Walking down the stairs towards the kitchen.

"Good afternoon Mr Anderson."

I say, sighing. While looking around at the empty mansion.

"What kind of professionalism is this Mr Reed. We were scheduled to meet today. And now your secretary says you won't be coming ?"

Damn! Not this now! It's all because I decided to pick her up to only end up here.

I never took my work so lightly.

It was always my first preference. How can I do a mistake like this?

"I am so sorry Mr Anderson.Something important came up , I sincerely apologise."

"I will re schedule the meeting for tomorrow. If that's fine by you."

"It's fine. Please don't do something like this again. Or our relations will be severed."

Reaching the kitchen. I pour myself a glass of water. Quenching my dry throat, to only stare blankly at the marble slab.

Oblivious of what Mr Anderson was saying, I am sure he was complaining only.

My thoughts lost somewhere else.

I can't let this happen again. I can't let that Orphan girl control my thoughts like that.

I won't let her.

"Are you listening Mr Reed?"

"Ah yes. Yes Mr Anderson. Of course. No I sincerely apologise again."

I look up to only find Andriana follow me, in her hot pink bikini set. A see through lingerie barely covering her ,as she walks towards me to only stand behind me.

"Why did you left Aaron. Let's continue."

I close my eyes. Not replying to her. My back still on her as my other hand grips the marble slab tightly.

"Okay Mr Anderson. No, it won't be happening again"

"For sure."

I speak on the phone. Trying to avoid the conversation with her. I was already stressed, Mr Anderson was not a normal man, he is one of our sponsors. Thank god he didn't stretched this issue further. But who said she was stopping, oblivious of my stress and worries.

Hugging me from behind ,she runs circles on my torso. While placing her cheek on my back.

It doesn't excite me, instead it felt wrong.

So damn wrong, that I was stopping myself from snapping at her.

When she was not even at fault, I was.

Her hands start moving lower on my torso towards my pants waist , mischievously and that was it.

I grab her wrist in an iron grip, to only feel her gasp behind me.

"Thank you Mr Anderson. Have a good day. Bye."

Ending the call, I nearly throw the cell on the marble slab. Pulling her in front ,with my grip still on her wrist.

"What the hell is wrong with you Andriana? Can't you see I was busy on the call?"

Anger laced my voice. Gone was that sweet talking Aaron. The reasons fuc*ing with my brain already.

Her mouth opens in shock as she narrows her eyes at me.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you Aaron? You invite me here at your place, refuse to fuc*ing touch me like you are a saint. And now you blame me for a damned deal of yours gone wrong?"

"You have changed Aaron. You were not like this in Seattle."

I go silent. Leaving her wrist, to step back from her. Yes I have changed, back in Seattle I was an independent man with no worries of the world, but here I have an entire empire to run. Back there I was away from those brown eyes for years to almost forget them, back there I haven't kissed and tasted those tempting lips of that stupid girl?

Everything is going wrong today, damned why! I rarely loose my patience, but today. It's at it's brink already.

"Damned you!"

Pushing my chest, she picks up the lingerie she dropped while coming towards me. To only give me her frustrated glare.

"Settle your shit and call me then. I am leaving."

I don't stop her, I couldn't. Instead I almost felt relieved and happy of being left alone.

Once she leaves I sigh, placing my palms on the marble slab and breathing heavily.

What's happening to me?

What's wrong with me?

That stupid girl! It's all because of her! If she hadn't kissed me while she was drunk, all this wouldn't have happened.

I wouldn't be tempted to kiss her back that night!

If she hadn't said the truth to Dad to protect me, I wouldn't have felt guilty and made her sleep in my room beside me.

Now what if Mr Anderson cancels the deal? He seemed convinced but what if? There will be loss of thousands of dollars,it never happened before. I was never so casual with business before.

Damn it!

Slamming my fist on the marble slab, I let out my anger. To only run my hand through my hair.

Calm down Aaron. Calm down. It's fine.

We will manage this. We already apologized.

Pouring myself another glass of water, I gulped it. To only see a half eaten cookie lying on the floor.

My eyebrows furrow, was someone here? But, no one's home.

And that's when my eyes stop at a corner of white sneakers peeping out from under the marble slab ,I was just leaning against and my mind goes blank.

Keeping aside the glass of water, I crouch down to it's level. To see those brown eyes staring back at me which I have been missing.

My body stills as I blink , to see if this was true.

To find her real. She was here.

Her palms placed on her mouth to silence her breaths,as she looks so innocently at me.

Like she wasn't eavesdropping.

We don't say anything. Continuing to stare at each other.

And the pang of guilt I was feeling earlier, pierces past my chest this time.

Fuc*! Did she saw everything?

Lowering her hands and eyes, she was the first one to break our eye contact. Clenching her beautiful hands into fists by her side,as she tries to get up.

My heart thuds as I see her head was going to hit the marble above.

And my hand immediately shoots up, to protect her head from getting hurt. And it results in her hypnotic eyes to again lock with mine.

"Careful."

I barely whisper. To only see her eyes narrowing. Pushing aside my arm, she gets up to only have me ask her in a low voice.

"What were you doing, eavesdropping on us?"

She doesn't answer. Let alone she refuses to even look at me. And I feel something hit my chest.

I almost felt hurt.

Did this girl dared to ignore me?

How dare she!

Turning around, she was going to storm out when I move forward to grab her wrist, and pull her back to only have her front to hit my naked chest.

"I fuc*ing asked you a question Ezra. What the hell were you doing here?"

I seethe , breathing heavily. To see those innocent eyes turn stormy. Her lustrous lips, pressed together in a thin line.

As she refuses to answer me once again, giving me her silence in return.

And I have to admit.

That a person's words never aggravated me to the extent her silence was doing right now.

My other hand moves to her waist, and I pull her more closer to me, her fragrance hitting me to calm all my chaotic senses completely.

Moving my finger below her chin, I jerk it up to make her stare back at me. As I ask her the question, I wanted to ask her for the last 3 weeks she has been hiding from me.

"Are you avoiding me?"
