Taming A Billionaire

Maya's POV

The tight expression on his face and the mischievous smirk that followed afterwards told me Nik was doing something evil.

It was the same creepy smile that appears on Izzy's face whenever she carries out a jaw dropping prank.

Though I could not hear what was being discussed but I mentally said a silent prayer for whoever provoked Nik.

"Sure, proceed with the plan " He said and ended the call, dropping the phone on his desk.

"Who was that? " I asked curiously but knew inwardly there was a ninety percent chance my question wound not be answered - afterall, Nik Spencer answers to no one.

But he answered.In a strange way.

" Just teaching a good lesson to a squirrel who grabbed and eat my peaches "

My face was a rollercoaster of expression as I tried to make sense of what he just said.

My frown intensified "I don't understand "

"Not everything said is said , some must be left unsaid so that the said can live up to its expectations " He muttered calmly like an old sage but truthfully, it sounded all gobbledygook to me.

Infact, it left me more confused.

"Tigress, worry about yourself " Nik approached me and cupped my cheeks " Leave the worries to your husband here " He said pointing to his chest "I can shoulder it all "

Though the line sounded cheesy and overrated, it surprisingly had a calming effect on me. For the first time in my entire life, I felt like I've finally found someone I could trust, lean on and love ... wait, what am I saying?

Maya dear, I know you've been smitten by Niklaus since day one of meeting him but you can't possibly be in love with him.

I mean, it's hardly a month since you got acquainted with him, so there's absolutely no way such hardcore feeling would develop between you both in such a short time.

I said to myself.

But why was I feeling like I was trying to assure myself instead? Fine ; I'm attracted to Niklaus ? check , I care for him? check, I like him? check , but love?

Love was much more deeper and rooted, it was much serious than what some television dramas and book depicts , so I was sure my feelings for him has not graduated to that level.

But then it might grow with time? Maybe? who knows? .

"What are you thinking? " Nik flicked his middle finger on my forehead rousing me painfully from my thoughts.

"Ouch " I cried out in pain,rubbing my forehead with an aggrieved expression "Why do you always bully me? " I complained, pouting my lips before hitting him on the chest as a form of retaliation.

" Fine " He apologized gathering me into his arms , unfazed by my weak punches.

"No, don't touch me ! " I yelped and squirmed, trying to leave his embrace but his arms envolped me fully refusing to let go like some damn octopus.

His unexpected heart melting smile dazzled me once again but before I could savour this exquisite moment , he suddenly without warning swept me up in his arms while I released a startled scream.

"Let me down Niklaus! " came my warning with closed eyes while clinging unto his shoulder for dear life.

After being manhandled by Mr Handsome rough hands at my parent's mansion that day , I had started to dislike bring carried by anybody whether princess-style, bridal-style, shoulder-style, or whatever names it comes with.

But the same couldn't be said when it comes to Nik carrying me, though it scares me which is the reason I'm clutching my eyes tight right now but I loved it - at lest the man can bear my weight.

My look was deceiving, though I looked slim, I certainly weigh a ton.

Nik dropped me on the couch - the same couch we almost made out hours ago while my breath hitched as Niklaus hovered over me .

I gulped " What are you doing? "

"I told you, this is a fantasy of mine.You sprawled out on my couch - though I would prefer the bed but this would make do at the moment, as I kiss that succulent red lips of yours "

He emphasized his point by lowering his head , enough for our lips to touch but not exactly fully touching , almost in a teasing manner.

Our eyes locked and our breath mingled together, as much as I wanted to shy away from him, I could not take my eyes away from him.

It was as if I was spellbound.

"While we kiss, you'll arch up to meet my lips while I run my hands through that silky hair of yours. " His deep seductive voice whispered into my ears before his hot lips nibbled on my earlobe.

My breath stopped in my throat, I was having difficulty breathing . Nik was messing up my self-control and though I wanted to fight him off but I couldn't. I loved it , it felt sinfully good.

"She moans with pleasure while wrapping herself around me as I kiss her passionately - Sucking, Licking, biting, tugging and teasing that delicious lips "

His lips crash down hard on mine and I swear, my brain malfunctioned - I couldn't think straight instead my brain was overloaded with the pressure he was giving me .

His lips moved away and left a hot delicious trail down on my neck before grazing softly with his teeth on the sensitive spot between my neck and shoulder.

A sharp gasp was drawn from my lips when he sucked that spot, my body quivering with every touch .

I was literally being turned into a soft pudding when he began to suckle on that spot. The Blood was pounding in my ear when he took his time savouring that spot like I was a piece of candy.

" Definitely beautiful " He murmured, his dark eyes roaming her body.

I was red with pleasure and knew my face was probably looking like an overcooked shrimp right now.

But that was not the problem, I was already beginning to feel wet below and though one voice wanted me to surrender to this madness, the voice of reasoning was much more stronger.

"Nik " I said and frowned, that husky voice definitely didn't belong to me. What's this?

"Don't worry " he said burying his face on my neck earning a stifled moan from me " I know my limit but the problem is... " He faltered, his eyes gleaming with mischief " Do you know yours? "

I shivered involuntarily, I was in deep shit.He wasn't going to let me go that easily.

But just as another round of fun was about to begin, the door was banged open and someone stormed in.

Eden.
