There across the room, stood a mature and charming tall man. He was around five ten, while I myself was five four. I hadn't known that a bald man could be that attractive. If I could, I'd be mistaken thinking that he was Jason Statham.
He had the vibe of a man protecting anything he held most dear. He looked like the kind of man who put a lot of efforts till the death. Silly me! After all he was the detective, though he was just an apprentice to Detective G. Being persistently willful was just obvious for a great investigator.
I thought he'd be timid, but he was away far from that word. Though, there was something unearthly distinctive about him. It was almost ancient. Maybe he had an old soul. But then again, it wasn't the right term to put him that way. He was more than just special. All I knew, he bled pheromones.
I almost could see how women would fall for him in an instant. And not just for one night, they'd be begging for more. Even from across the room, I could see his pair of almond eyes so jet black like a black hole that would suck you whole.
Suddenly I could feel the cold air breeze in the room though it wasn't winter, but it was a different kind of cold. What surprised me was the cold air like being centered to the man stood before me. I couldn't help myself that something odd happened to my body.
There were invisible hands, maybe the cold air, brushed my shoulders gently, to my neck. I could almost feel like there were hungry lips drown between my neck and my hair. Now my hair was so tense on the back of my neck. I could feel the tingling sensation from the back of my neck, down to my spine, my waist, my hips, down to the area between my legs. I swore it made me almost wet.
Then he cracked the silence while I was trying hard to get my consciousness,
"How do you do, my lady? Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Daniel, an apprentice of Detective John Gee. I'd be helping him handling the investigation to the north part of Imperial Colony. Each time I get some clues within a week, I'll be calling you to deliver you the news. Is there something you'd want to know?" he closed his explanation with a smile to die for.
I didn't see his sweet dimples before. He was just too good to be alive. Then I clumsily asked the most unmeaning question,
"Just Daniel… Or do you have any first name?"
[What the hell did I ask that for?] Shamefully, my mind screamed by itself.
Then oh no… not that smile again. Indeed, he smiled widely maybe because of hearing my foolish question.
"It's Gerhard Daniel, my lady. My childhood friends call me Gerry. But I prefer to be called Daniel since it's my last name" he ended his sentence with sincere smile. I almost could see he was reminiscing, he remembered his childhood memory. He looked like he was in peace. It was nice to know that another human being still had memorable childhood.
I was calmer but I was still speechless didn't know what to say to that gorgeous creature. I just loved looking at his facial hair and to be honest, I was thinking what if that facial hair brushed gently the inner parts of my thighs and went up…
[Oh God, what's happening to me? Why I keep on thinking like this?] My mind protested by itself.
My mind screamed for help that I had to send him out right away. I couldn't think straight!
"I guess… that would be all, Daniel. Do you have any other thing to report?" I hid my weariness from being drunk just to be in the same room with him.
"No, my lady… Just to assure you that I'd keep you updated with the investigation each week. Would that be okay if I call you every week?" suddenly his voice became husky and inviting.
It was more of inviting to spend the night together, other than reporting what he'd do with the investigation.
[Gosh… someone please release me from this agony! Maybe calling Mr. Tanaka would be a great idea!] Another scream I heard in my mind.
But instead of calling for Mr. Tanaka, I couldn't believe my mouth when I said,
"I'd love to, it'll be a pleasure."
Wait, did I just accepting his invitation to bed? I supposed it sounded just like it.
[I was doomed!] My mind cursed myself
Then he smiled with his sweet dimples. I could see his eyes became darker as the cold air around me almost like swallowed me in a whole because he moved across the room and stood closer in front of me while shoving his perfect bones hands. Gosh! Those fingers should be in Greek museum with the Greek statues!
My heart beat too fast when he shoved his hands to shake mine. Unwillingly but eagerly I took his handshake and for a while I thought I was in heaven. When his hand wrapped mine, I could see the image how his broad shoulders would entrap my naked body just because of the gentle friction of his skin and mine.
Damn it! I was sexually attracted to him…
But I felt safe because I'd be gone by tomorrow, and I could forget him. Well, at least for now. Studying and teaching usually successfully kept my mind away from anything that was unnecessary.
And Daniel was the unnecessary sweet daydreaming. It was impossible that a mature and perfect man like him would want me in his arms.
On what basis did I want that as well? I'd known him for few minutes. How could I want to be wrapped in his arms forever?
I thought I grew insane. It was definitely because dad's gone. Keanu Crane, why did you have to leave and made me trapped with this irresistible man?
