Edgar's P.O.V

I wake up to find someone laying right near me, and it doesn't take me long enough to figure out who it is, I lower my head to find her tiny figure and her head is right on top of my chest. Maybe she is not a calm sleeper because last night, my arms are wrapped around her and she was facing me, but now her head is on top of me while the rest of her body is right beside me.

She looks adorable and innocent. Her beautiful red hair is scattered on the white sheet, causing a beautiful contrast, and her long lashes is complementing her face as she sleeps.

We didn't do anything last night because I don't want to make her feel more uncomfortable than now. There has to be something wrong with me, because I am no gentleman, heck, I loved messing around with women, but I guess she changed me for the better.

But eventually, I will have a taste of her, that is for sure.

I just want to wrap her up like this forever and keep her all to myself. Right, this is exactly what I am going to do.

I slowly move my body, not trying to wake her up. She needs rest after what happen. I have to make sure that the security system in this place is getting tighter, I can't afford if she ever runs away again. I would die.

Right, I can't even live without her now.

I'm pretty sure she will act all cold and distant toward me if I ever try to approach her. Last night was a close call, but she had no other choice, but on daytime, who knows what she will do.

"Oh gosh my head." suddenly I hear a noise from the bed and I know right away that she is awake.

"What happened again?" She whispers to herself and then after a few seconds, her eyes meet mine, and she still has that scared look on her eyes.

"You're awake, that's good." I speak awkwardly. What is wrong with me V I have never done this before.

"I'm hungry." she speaks, and I didn't think that would be the first sentence that comes out from her mouth.

"Right, do you want to have breakfast now? I will get the maid to make something for you"

"No, let me make it myself."

"But-"

She stares at me with one of those womanly look that makes me clench my fist. I know exactly what will happen if I don't let her cook her own meal. She just won't eat at all.

"Fine" she gets up from the bed, and she begins to walk pass me and open the door. She ignores me and at this moment, there is a thud on my chest, the thud you have when being rejected.

Dammit.

I follow after her, and she indeed goes to the kitchen. There are no maids here, they must be somewhere else right now. She looks at the fridge and see nothing that she is interested at, she closes the fridge and sighs.

"Do you want to order something?" I ask her out of nowhere, she turns her head and look at me with cautious gaze. Why is this woman being so difficult? Tell me, when can I ever tame this wild kitten?

"I can order some French breakfast if you don't want to make the ones made by the household's maids."

"Really?" She asks me with sparks in her eyes. I can tell she loves French breakfast.

"Yeah." I say as I step in closer to her. My tall figure easily towers over her. She looks at me and then she lowers her gaze, but begin turning her head away, and I look down to realize that I am still in my half naked state.

Well, I guess this may lead to somewhere more exciting.

"If you give me a kiss."

Her eyes stare straight into mine with an unbelievable gaze. I can't help but let out of a smirk. She is adorable. How come I don't see this in her before?

"Are you serious?"

"Tell me Phoebe, have I been kidding around you?"

"You are serious." She gasps.

"Exactly." I lower myself and my face is just a few centimeters away from her. She doesn't back away. That is a progress.

"Kiss me." I say in a demanding tone, and she stand still for a while, causing an awkward silence. The only thing breaking the silence is the growling sound of her stomach.

I can she her cheeks flush in embarrassment, or maybe because the small gap between us right now.

"Fine." she moves her face closer to mine and then her lips begin touching mine. I'm not going to accept the light kiss again, so before she can pull away, I wrap my arms around her and begin kissing her roughly.

My tongue is seeking an entrance and surprisingly, she gives it to me. Finally, we are having a proper French kiss, with the extra roughness and the tongue.

This is just the beginning of it all.

I am not letting her go until I feel like she needs to take some breath, I pull away and she takes a deep breath.

"Ehm." both of us turn our head at the same time to find Anna standing there, she folds her arms and she has one of those teasing look on her face.

"Mind if you get a room? This is the kitchen, not that I mind." she flashes a warm smile toward us and Phoebe instantly tries to pull away from me but I hold her tightly so she cannot escape from my grasp.

"Sure, we'll continue in the bed."

Phoebe turns to stare at me, she clearly has one of those expression that shows she is about to punch me if she can to, and Anna shakes her head but I can tell she is grinning inside.

"Young kids nowadays."

The two of us leave the kitchen and I grab the phone to order some French breakfast from a favorite local restaurant, croissant, some latte, and some of her favorites dishes.

While waiting, we are sitting in the dining room, she keeps on ignoring me no matter what kind of conversation I try to make with her, she only speaks yes, no, and yeah, sure. It's kind of irritating, but I have to be patience for the sake of making her mine.

But I'm very confident that she loves that kiss, even if she doesn't say it.

The order comes within fifteen minutes, and that is a reason to give them some extra tip.

"Is it good?" I speak to her as we are eating breakfast. She nods her head, and I'm getting sick of this short conversation.

"Give a girl what she wants and she will be yours." Those are the words that Viktor taught me way back in the day.

It gets me thinking, maybe, maybe if I give her what she wants, she will at least try to be more kind to me? As if she is not kind enough, she has a kind heart to begin with, just, it's just annoying when she constantly pushes me away from her life.

What can I do to make her happy without having her go back to her motherland?

Let's see...

Right, that may work.

"You called me, Ed?" Nikolai is standing in front of me, he is already getting dressed for the day, right, Nikolai has always been one of the more proper guy, in fact I think he is the neatest amongst all of us, well, let's just get straight to business.

"I want you to find her older sister and bring her here."

"What?"

"You heard me, bring Phoebe's older sister here, make her meet Phoebe."

"But why?"

"Do you really have to ask?"

It takes a few seconds for him to digest my words before he finally understand my intention, and then he smiles as he lowers his gaze and puts one of his hand on his temple.

"Gosh, Ed, really?"

"This may be the only way to get her to talk to me again, I mean at least she would feel a little bit of gratitude toward me, don't you think so?"

"Geez, you really have turned into one of those men in love, something I never thought I would see in you."

"So?"

"Nothing, i will certainly fulfill your command, boss."

"Make it quick, the sooner the better."

"Of course."

"You can leave now."

"Rude, but okay." Nikolai leaves the room, leaving me all by myself.

Well, Phoebe, I hope this will work.
