Jade felt his heart ache and become void as Phoenix retracted her hand. That familiar warmth was gone and he wanted to have it all to himself. Realising his own thoughts, he closed his eyes as he shook his head slightly trying to clear his mind. Seeing this, Phoenix thought that he was having a seizure after the surgery.
Phoenix stood up abruptly due to panic. This made her to trip on her feet. She fell back on the couch in an awkward position letting out a panicked cry.
She heard a low chuckle which further made her blush. Phoenix covered her burning face, turning her face to the side.
" What is there to laugh at?" To cover up her embarrassment, she tried coming up with an escape plan.
" There is a lot to make me laugh. You know when a tiny being like you falls down it is quite funny and looking at your face I can't help but laugh. Anyway let's drop that, I came here for my dinner that you promised. Still why were running away just now?" He turned to face her.
_'Is he asking me out on a date, impossible. He said it's my treat. Why am I being disappointed?'_
" I wasn't running away, I just saw you shaking your head and thought you were in pain, I was about to call your brothers." She fidgeted on her seat as she continued, " since you came here for that then wait for me. I still have about an hour before I knock off. How about that?"
Jade glanced at her before taking his phone out of his jacket pocket. Unlocking it, he dialled a string of numbers as he stood up from the couch, walking towards the office window.
Staring at his broad back, Phoenix had the urge to rub her face on it. With her height, she was sure that her entire being would be blocked from view if she was to stand behind him. How romantic that would be. As the thought crossed her mind, Phoenix felt tempted to do just that.
Lifting her short, tiny legs she tiptoed towards him. Standing by the window, Jade felt movement behind him and the sound of shallow breathing. He ignored it knowing fully who it was but his heart shook. He diverted his attention away from the call to the movements happening behind him.
The person on the phone kept on calling out his name, earning silence as the answer. Moments later, Jade spoke into the mouth piece.
'" Finish that off quickly and submit tomorrow. I will look at it when am free."
The call dropped after Jade finished giving his order but he acted as if it was still connected.
Phoenix who was behind him didn't notice any of these, still indulged in her own thoughts she drew his body outline in the air. Being unsatisfied with that, she went on to touch his hair, which had lengthened a bit. Feeling the touch, Jade shivered a little which also went unnoticed.
Phoenix continued on as her hand went down a bit by bit from touching his neck to drawing circles on his back. When her hand, brushed along his spine, Jade froze before letting out a low growl.
_' doesn't this woman knows that she is seducing me hell out of me. Didn't I tell her that it's dangerous. Stop it now Phoenix or am gonna explode.'_
If this was to continue, Jade wasn't sure of what he would do. He was a sexually active being and her ministrations on his body were like torture. She wasn't his girlfriend or wife making him to have no rights to touch her. But what she was doing was making him lose his rationality.
Exhaling deeply, Jade turned around which scared the woman behind him. Phoenix who was daydreaming moments ago was now fully awake and realising what she had done, she took steps backwards out of fear.
She didn't know what great ancestral spirit had just possessed her. She had dug a pit for her self. Was he gonna find out that she was longing for his body.
" Are you seducing me in broad daylight, Phoenix? Well I never knew you had this side to you. Are you craving for a man that you can't help but jump on me, huh. I may be able to help you if you tell me" Teasing her only made her face redden more.
" I... I....think I was... possessed by the great spirit. I wouldn't do that to you and you don't need to do that." stammering as she answered, Phoenix further increased the distance between them.
Jade intently glared at her face as he took steps forward.
" What great spirit is that? We may need to fight it together, don't you think? Friends help each other in times of need remember." Saying the last sentence, Jade took two steps more resulting in Phoenix to fall on her office chair. With no escape plan, she closed her eyes to avoid looking into his eyes.
She was embarrassed and her heartbeat was like fast and furious speeding cars.
