Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Maya shivered as Mrs. Laura glared at her frustrated and angry, even she knew that Maya was officially unemployed after her dramatic stunt and wasn't finding the little "Hire an assistant game" Funny anymore.

But Maya couldn't care less at this point, she would be too embarrassed to work with a man that has seen her naked and even worst? Had left her naked, totally humiliated.

"I... Look it's perfectly fine if you fire me I have no problem with that at all, I can just...."

"I like her. She can keep the job." Xavier curtly commented.

"What?" Maya and Mrs. Laura asked in unison.

He seemed unaffected by their reaction. Rolling his eyes, he repeated what he had said even though he knew they had understood him initially.

"But I don't need this job, I have 0 experience, and I..."

The scary glare Mrs. Laura gave her was enough to shut her up, as she looked like she was quite worked up and was ready to hit something or rather someone and it was no biggie to figure out who the lucky person was.

Still glaring at her, she turned towards Xavier smiling politely at him.

"I would put her through everything she needs to know and where things are kept." She offered and then giving an excuse that was completely a lie, she practically ran out of the room.

Maya rolled her eyes, the first day at work and everybody dreaded the man she was supposed to share a space with. Classic!

She turned towards Xavier exasperatedly.

"This would be so awkward, I'm fine resigning...."

He smiled at her amused and she forgot what next she was about saying as she gulped realizing how attractive and gorgeous he was.

Because she was a little drunk the night she had met him, images of him were slightly blurred in her head and everything had happened so fast and at night, but now she could notice every little detail about him that made him dangerously good-looking.

His full red lips curved upward in a mocking smirk, pointed perfect straight nose, Full long lashes, made him totally gorgeous, almost beautiful but his cold blue eyes, his sharp jawline, the rippling muscle she could still make out even though he was wearing a tuxedo, his dignified yet quick strides, the way his mouth was set in a straight line as he calculated coldly, those sculpted abs she had run her hands-on, proved his masculinity without any doubt.

Besides, he certainly doesn't have a problem proving anything to her she thought, with the endowment of his in between his thighs that certainly screamed hot-blooded Male.

"What are you thinking of?" He asked a knowing smug look on his face.

She flushed embarrassed.

His eyes darkened, his body reacting to her reaction as always and the very spacious office suddenly felt small and suffocating as Maya gasped while he walked towards her, already aware that he knew what she had been thinking of.

"Maya." He whispered and she shivered to love the way her name rolled out of his tongue, a sexy whisper.

He bent down and her eyes widened, was he going to? No, he wasn't she thought even though the mere thought of him in between her thighs again made all her girl parts excited.

She was about to go into a mini panic attack when she felt his hand on her shoulder. She flinched, snapping her eyes open. Dismayed and angry that she had even closed it.

He was starring at her amused, as he held her red bag in his hand, his brows raised at her silently questioning her reaction mockingly.

She took the bag from his hand but not before he made contact with her arm, his finger lightly trailing her arm, she would bet intentionally judging by the grin on his face.

She shivered to wonder how she would cope here all alone with a man who she was sexually attracted to on every level but yet wanted nothing to do with her.

It was only her first day at work and she was feeling somersaults, butterflies and a dangerous emotion, she didn't want to admit, lust.

"I want to resign." She blurted out.

"You said what?" He asked his voice void of emotions.

"I want to resign." She whispered her confidence evaporating but thankful that her voice still managed to come out slightly strong.

Then he laughed, he laughed so hard that Maya was suddenly scared.

"You signed a contract remember? You can't resign kitten until you have worked with me for two months." He stated coldly.

She facepalmed herself mentally remembering the stupid Contract she had gladly signed grinning from ear to ear, totally ignoring the way her body reacted to him calling her kitten.

"Please don't make this harder than it needs to be, just fire me, after all, you didn't have a problem doing that to others before me." She commented.

He sighed dramatically.

"Now, won't that be unfair to you? Firing you without even giving you a chance." He stated.

She glared at him.

"Don't sound like you gave the two assistants you fired within three days any chance." She retorted bitterly.

"Those fools were incompetent, staring at me all day without getting any work done." He snapped angrily.

"And your assistant, the one that was working with you before this whole hire an assistant fiasco started?" She asked defiantly holding her ground refusing to be intimidated by his tone.

"He resigned."

"I wonder why," Maya stated and then made sure she was looking right at him, " I heard that you are a royal asshole, the word of your employees, not mine," Maya commented not looking away from his piercing gaze.

He looked away and then walked towards his seat, and sat on it not uttering a word.

Her eyes softened as she realized that shouting at him and throwing little tantrums won't work.

"But think about it, working for you would be awkward after what had happened between us." She whispered her eyes pleading with him silently.

"What happened between us?" He asked.

His amused smirk suddenly resurfaced.

He sure had a sick sense of humor Maya thought grudgingly.

Then remembering what had happened or almost happened between them, she felt humiliated all over again as she remembered how he had covered her naked body like the sight of her repulsed him.

He was the first man that had seen her Stark naked after she had clocked 10 and he had just walked out on her.

"Welcome to the company Maya Luke" he cheekily replied, then grinning he added.

"I knew that you bearing the name kitten was too good to be true." He commented winking at her.

Oh boy! She exclaimed, if not that Jason had decided to be a two-timing bastard, she wouldn't have decided to go on a stupid one-night stand and would certainly not know what her boss' dick looked like.

"Fuck you, Jason." She mumbled under her breath.

He laughed and she sucked in a breath at how dangerously gorgeous he looked, and that was the problem. Ahe was not scared of him, she was scared of herself when she was with him.

***

It has been a week Xavier thought, a week of painfully restraining himself from combing the whole of New York searching for his latest obsession.

It has been a week of trying to forget her determined coffee brown eyes, she parted pink lips that made his cock ache as he wondered what it would be like to have her lips taking him inside her mouth.

It has been a week of cold showers and a frustrating feeling of loss that won't just go away no matter how hard he tried, A frustrating feeling he took out on any and everybody that was unfortunate to cross his path.

He spent the whole of yesterday trying to wrap his head around the fact that she came into his life willingly, without giving in to the maddening intent of combing the city for her and though she was staying unwillingly she was with him, glaring, obviously pissed off but present anyways.

She was all he could think of after he had left her that night with a hard-on erection, which he had painfully had to take care of with a very cold shower.

He still couldn't believe he had restrained himself from entering her at the last minute, virgin or not, he still couldn't believe that he had cared for someone other than himself and that was what scared him. That was the thought holding him back from searching for her for the past seven days.

He realized that he couldn't bring himself to give her the one-sentence long-phrase his assistant usually sends to his one-night stand and a bouquet of rose flowers after she had given him something so precious, something he felt he was undeserving of.

He couldn't believe that he was able to remember the way her eyes lit up at almost everything he considered normal and how hard he had laughed in her company.

She was so fragile and innocent that he felt the strong urge to fiercely protect her yet so strong that she brings him to his knees with just a touch.

Her flawless naked body made for sex and her touch was burned into his memory and even though she was wearing clothes now he could still painfully remember the swell of her full breast, her beautiful ass which he had positioned up in the air, the perfect size needed for holding onto, her glistening tight core and how soft her hair had felt fisted around his hand.

Hopefully trying to forget her, he had called one of his girls Lucy.

She has been his call girl for a long time and was good in bed. What they had between them was purely business he thought, She wasn't attached to him or felt any infatuation for him and that was why she was his all-time favorite, and if she did, she was doing a good job at hiding it.

He was thrusting his cock into her mouth desperately trying to forget Maya.

Not even minding that he was more than average in size, he was gagging her as she made choked whimpers but he was past caring, that was who he was, he took and took so what the fuck had possessed him to go down on his knees and lap at his kitten's juices he thought.

She was breathing heavily with teary eyes by the time he came, but he was fine with that. He looked at her platinum hair which wasn't the cascading black hair he so desperately wanted to see.

"You should dye your hair black." He commented irritated. She met his gaze and sobbing she ran out of the room.

He was sexually frustrated, face-palming himself for not fucking and getting her out of his system when he could, he was even more annoyed that he couldn't forget her soft little moans, the little whimpers she made that drives him insane, the way her petite body fit perfectly against his hard one, the way her lips tasted, her flushed face with parted lips when she was having an orgasm.

The stubbornness in her eyes and defiance in her tone as she boldly stood up to him when necessary, he couldn't believe she was right here and he wouldn't question his luck and now virgin or not, he was not letting her go he thought.
