"I unbuttoned to get some fresh air but...if you insist I button up, you'll have to do that's yourself"
Kayden's statement made Alynah's breath hitch for a little while. Her eyes widened in shock. How did he expect her to do that when she looses composure mainly by staring at his exposed features?! Buttoning him up will make her swoon the next minute she stands in his presence.
"Unless you're not really distracted with my appearance" Kayden let out a knowing smirk as he said that.
Alynah gasped. Her body moved in autopilot as she stood up and strode towards him. Kayden moved back a little, giving her space in between his legs before trapping her.
With shaky hands and sweaty palms, Alynah reached for his shirt. Her movement was slow and careful, extremely careful not to touch his bare chest. But she wasn't careful enough, because her fingers grazed on his bare chest while buttoning the first one. She gasped and jerked away but Kayden held her in place.
Alynah's cheeks were flushed as she met Kayden's intense gaze, pulling her into the depths, not wanting to let her go. He loved the way he could easily affect her with just his gaze and mere touch. How will she react if he pushed her on the table and kissed her deeply? Kayden suddenly wondered. He quickly shook his head to get rid of the thought before he'll do something he'll regret.
"You ain't done what you started, you can't back down now" his voice was low and husky as he stared at her through his dark long lashes. Alynah blushed and lowered her head.
She tried freeing her hand from his grip but it only tightened.
"Let me go please...what if someone enters like it happened...that day?" Alynah tried to distract herself from his burning touch. She wanted to escape but she knew she can't because she's trapped in his web. And she hated her body for reacting to his every touch. She doesn't even need a ghost to tell her how red her face is.
"Get it done first" Kayden said firmly, his voice was still low and husky and his gaze was lazily draped on Alynah's face.
"And no one will enter, they know better than distracting me this moment" he replied her question, with a hint of coldness in his voice and a glint in his eyes.
Alynah gulped down and moved her fingers, buttoning up the last button. She heaved a deep breath when she was done. She looked up at him and smiled.
"There, you're...decent now"
"Decent?" Kayden smirked.
"That's not the right word to use, Lynnie. I'm far from being decent right now" Kayden smirked, getting hold of her hands again. His grip was firm but unexpectedly gentle. The warmness of his palms spread through Alynah's body. She could feel her body heating up with his touch and her heart was racing like a limited edition Bugatti Veyron. She gulped down to calm her nerves but hell, she couldn't.
"Now let's discuss the luxury brand, I want to know more of your visions" he repeated his previous statement, his gaze was intense as if he could see through Alynah's soul.
"I.. can't... concentrate" Alynah drawled her words, making Kayden smirk. It's more like he's torturing her with his gazes, smirks and touches. She's struggling with her inner senses and composure, but he still loved the way she's truthful even in this situation.
"But I am decent" Kayden smirked, laying extra emphasis on the three words.
He leaned back on his chair and pulled Alynah towards him. Alynah gasped as her hands cane in contact with either side of the chair. It's more like she's straddling him. Her eyes widened. What's this man doing to her!?
She stared into his beautiful grey eyes as their warm breaths mixed together. She slowly moved her gaze towards his hard muscled jawline and landed on his lips. That's it, Alynah lost it. She tried so hard to peel her gaze off his lips but it's like her eyes are working on their own accord, she isn't the one controlling them anymore. She watched Kayden's Adam Apple bobbed up and down as he gulped and then...he licked his lips! For goodness sake! Why is this man seducing her?!
"I have always been decent...but not anymore" Kayden's words made her forcefully look up at his eyes. She found his smirking sexily. For goodness sake, what did she do to deserve such punishment?! Why on Earth should it be her?!
"But it's not proper" Alynah found her tongue. Kayden but his lower lip suppressing his laughter but ended up with a soft chuckle.
"Not proper...when are the one straddling me?" Kayden asked.
Alynah felt lost in front of this boss of hers. Why the heck is he playing with her heart and teasing her that way?
Kayden leaned forward and pecked her lips. It was just a peck and it was brief but Alynah stiffened, savouring the moment. The softness of his lips, his warm breath, his closeness, his expensive manly cologne that's clouded her mind. She'd never felt this way towards any other man- not that she'd been close to any other man before. Expect for the four year's incident and that was... nevermind.
Kayden had backed off minutes ago and Alynah was back on her feet but she could still feel his lips on hers. What was that feeling? Why is her heart fluttering that way?! Kayden smirked as he watched her freeze for good three minutes before she moved. She needed to get away from him as soon as possible. She needs to run fast, out of this office to clear her mind. Her mind is like a foggy mirror covered with steam in a bathroom, she couldn't think straight.
"Right, about your creative visions" Kayden still repeated their previous discussion that was distracted by..ehm..ehm..
Alynah sat on the chair opposite him and took a deep breath.
Get yourself together Aly! You'll soon get out of this office.
Her subconscious mind comforted.
"My idea is to create a bespoke design that combines both elegance and sustainability. I think we can really make a statement with this one" she said, switching from flirtatious mood to business mood.
Kayden nodded, impressed with her sudden boldness.
"I like the way you think Lynnie" This is the second time he is calling her that and Alynah suddenly realized. Gasps! That lunch surprise...!
Kayden distracted her thoughts before she could say anything. He leaned forward with his hands interwind on the desk.
"You know, I've been thinking it's time to take our designs to the next level. I want to explore new technologies like augmented reality and 3D printing. What do you think?" Kayden suggested and Alynah's eyes widened.
"That's a fantastic idea! Mr Hart, the possibilities are endless. We could create immersive experiences and push the boundaries of design" Alynah beamed, her eyes twinkled.
Kayden smiled. "I'm glad to have you on board. Let's make it happen"
As they concluded their discussion, Alynah made to leave. She placed her hand on the door knob just to feel a large palm placed on hers. She jerked off to see Kayden standing behind her. Kayden didn't say anything, he only opened the door and allowed her to go out before he followed, earning a deep sigh if relief from Alynah.
The dou got into the elevator and the door closed. Soon, the elevator started moving. There was an awkward, almost suffocating silence and Alynah kept sighing. The previous flirtatious memories flashed in her brain and she blushed, really hard. The feeling of Kayden's lips on hers is inexplicable. She was lost in her world of reverie until the light in the elevator started fluctuating and the engine started to make failing sounds.
Soon, the light went off and the elevator stopped.
Alynah snapped out of her reverie, she wasn't in Kayden's office, straddling him. She was stuck with him in the elevator!
