Days had passed since Nova sprained her ankle on her way into the Smith mansion, but she had managed to conceal her injury and get her work done. Despite the pain and discomfort she felt, Nova was determined not to let her injury slow her down. She worked tirelessly, making sure that everything was in order and all tasks were completed to perfection.
However, there was one thing that constantly bothered her – Adam's behavior towards her. He had been acting cold and nonchalant, barely acknowledging her presence whenever she was around. At first, Nova thought that it might be because of her accident. Maybe Adam didn't like the fact that she had ignored his warning and ended up getting hurt. However, no matter how hard Nova tried to make things right, Adam seemed distant and uninterested.
Nova knew better than to interfere in Adam's personal life. She was here to do her job, and that's exactly what she intended to do. But the tension between them was hard to ignore, and it weighed heavily on her mind.
Despite all of this, Nova had something to look forward to today – a date. Her date with James maybe that would get her mind off things yet her infected and hurting leg still bothered her.
As she got ready for her date, Nova couldn't help but feel a tinge of guilt. Adam had been nothing but a gentleman towards her, and yet here she was, going out with another guy knowing that he was for a fact mad at her.
But what could she have done.
As Nova stood nervously in front of the Smith mansion, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation as she waited for her date with James, the gardener's son. She had spent a long time getting ready, wearing a beautiful warm pink dress that passed her knees, paired with strappy nude heels.
However, her nerves were soon shattered when a maid was sent to call her to Adam's room. She could feel her heart racing, wondering what on earth she could have possibly done wrong. She tried to calm herself down as she walked briskly towards the room, her mind racing with possibilities.
But as she reached the door, she stopped in her tracks, noticing it was slightly ajar. She hesitated for a moment before knocking, but there was no response. Suddenly, she felt a jolt of fear, wondering if something terrible had happened.
As she pushed the door open, she was greeted by the sight of Adam standing in the middle of his room, having just emerged from the shower. He was wearing nothing but a towel around his waist and his chest glistened with water droplets.
Nova's face turned scarlet as she realized her mistake. She panicked, covering her eyes with her hand and apologizing profusely. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were in here", she stammered.
Adam couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. "Relax, Nova. I'm not going to bite," he said, amused by her embarrassment.
Nova slowly lowered her hand, peeking at him through the corner of her eyes. She felt herself get lost in the sight of his chiseled physique and his handsome features. Despite the situation, she couldn't deny the attraction she felt towards him.
He walked over to her erasing the distance between them. She could feel the heat radiating off his body as she trembled under his touch.
"Fix up by room," he said, his deep cold voice sending tingles down her spine.
He Walk past her to the closet stopping midway, "Thirty minutes or else you'll find yourself on the streets"
Her heart panged at his words. What was wrong with him?
She gulp down her tears proceeding to do what he asked. Sundays are suppose to her free day yet he was taking that away from her.
As she worked, the words he had said to her replayed in her head and each time it burnt more than the other.
Her vision was already beging to cloud up with tears as she winced at her sprained ankle.
Just then he walked out walking to the bed. He sat on it his eyes glued to her trembling figure.
She sucked in her sobs her thought wondering back to James. He must be waiting, she felt so bad that she had bailed on him all thanks to Adams.
She didn't get why he suddenly had a change of heart.
She was ripped out of her stupor by his figure dominating hers. Her heart bit raggedly at it's rib cage.
She took a step back creating some space yet he erased it, that happened again till she had her body to the wall.
He bored his stern protruding eyes into hers sending waves of shivers crawl up her back.
Her lips quiver, "Mr Smith" She stutters.
He leaned in, nuzzling his head into her neckline. He kissed a particular sweet spot, she fought back a moan shutting tight her eyes.
Is this how it feels to be turned on?
As Adam and Nova stood facing each other, their eyes locked in a deep stare. Adam's gaze was intense, hard, and unreadable. He seemed to be searching for something within Nova's eyes, his own eyes sharp and focused.
Nova, for her part, found herself mesmerized by his gaze. She felt as though she was drowning in his deep blue eyes, and wasn't sure if his stare was meant to intimidate her, or perhaps it was meant to show his desire for her. She couldn't quite tell.
For a few tense moments, they stood in silence, each lost in their own thoughts. Adam's eyes flickered with emotions, a mixture of anger, desire, and maybe, just a hint of frustration. Nova couldn't read his expression, she did not know what to expect.
Finally, Adam broke the silence, his voice low and deliberate. "I can't get enough of you," he said slowly, his tone steady but laced with an underlying intensity.
Nova's heart skipped a beat at his words. She felt a flush rising up her face, and though she tried to look away, she couldn't bring herself to break their gaze. As she looked into his eyes, she felt a sense of connection, a deep understanding of what he was trying to communicate.
Adam leaned in closer to her, his breath warm against her skin. "You're mine, Nova," he whispered, his voice filled with passion. "No one else will ever have you. You belong to me."
Nova felt a surge of desire sweep through her, her own voice husky as she responded, "W-what--"
He cut her off, sealing their lips together.
In that moment, everything else faded away, and it was just the two of them in the world. Nova and Adam stood there, lost in their own world, their lips locked on each other, and their hearts beating in unison. It was a moment Nova would never forget, one that left an indelible mark on heart.
