Taming A Billionaire

Maya's POV

It took everything in me not to smack Niklaus on the head right now. We were going to a charity gala and he was just telling me now?!

He repeated when I didn't give him a response "The company is organizing a charity gala ball and auction that will be graced by some of the world's business leaders, celebrities, political leaders, influencers and members of the public who believes in giving back to the society .

"Although it's just an avenue to showoff wealth and splendor but the charity gala would raise funds for established foundations catering for orphans and terminally-ill children and you're coming as my date. "

" No way " I murmured under my breath but he heard it.

"No way what? "

I pulled away from him and sat up and he did the same " Why are you telling me this now?! You knew I was going to come along with you to such an important and high-class occasion and you kept mum all this time?! "

"I'm sorry, It skipped my mind moreover the preparation has been ongoing for a while, so I initially thought I was going to go with Tina. I never thought it was going to be me and you in the end " he explained and I fell silent at once.

To be honest, though Niklaus says his relationship with Tina was doomed to end someday from the very beginning but sometimes I can't help but feel that I stole him from her.

Niklaus claims it was a deal from the initial and she had full knowledge of that and gave consent but the look in Tina's eyes told me she wanted more than Niklaus gave, not to talk of the evil eye she gives me whenever she sees me with him - infact, everything is so messed-up.

The environment was suddenly awkward and I quickly came up with something to ease this tension " But the party is tomorrow and I haven't even sorted through my wardrobe yet!"

Late minutes planning was one of my worst nightmare and I was going to attend a party where every women would be dolled up and dressed in Jaw-dropping gowns.

Niklaus laughed and drew close to me " You don't need to worry about to what to wear Tigress, it has already being arranged "

Though I was impressed with his effort but it still didn't ease the anxiety completely " But I didn't get my measurement taken, you don't even know my size " I pointed out while massaging my temple.

Nik gave me that usual weird smile of his , leaned further towards me and whispered " I don't need to take measurements Maya, I already know your size with just a glance "

Suddenly, his eyes rove over my body in such a way that made me shiver and became self conscious of my body. My hands immediately flew to my chest, covering it the best I could even though I was actually fully dressed.

"What are you doing? " I asked and tried to appear stern even though my heart was threatening to jump out of my chest. The way he was staring at me made me feel completely bare before him.

A smile curved his lips "It seems your boob has been promoted from A to B "

I gazed up at Niklaus wide-eyed. You know what, I take back my word, I'm going to smack Niklaus on the head till I knock some sense into him.

My hand moved towards him but he grabbed it saying " Oi miss Tigress, are you a gangster? why are you always hitting me at the slightest provocation "

I released a smile that didn't quite reach my eyes " How comforting, you can even tell you provoked me. Fine, the other times I can apologize but this time, someone needs to slap some sense into you " My other hand moved but he grabbed it as well and then pinned the both above my head with a hand.

OK, that was officially a stupid move and epic failure.

His intense gaze moved over my body once again and my throat dried up " If I'm correct then, you're currently a 32 B cup size "

I stared at him dumbfounded, how did this guy know this cause I'm sure I did not shove my bra lapel in his face and how could he be so blatant about it ?

"Consider yourself dead once I'm free "I spoke through gritted teeth having remembered this guy was once a professional Casanova - how could he not know all the bra sizes?

But Niklaus ignored my threat and went on "How could you be so mean when I'm just congratulating you on your recent progress "

Amid my glaring, his face scrunched up tight in concentration "Though I'm wondering what caused this tremendous progress "

He glanced up at me with a lewd smile and I could tell I was not going to be pleased with whatever he's about to say.

Niklaus wriggled his brow suggestively " Could it be as a result of the recent fondling " he added a wink.

Now, I'm done being nice.

I don't know what strength came over me and I quickly freed my hands , rolled him onto his back and straddled his hips. But just as I was about to exact my revenge on him , Niklaus made a statement that made me froze.

"Wrong move " he murmured, then shut his eyes with a groan saying " Move against that again and I won't care anymore, we would go straight into baby making "

I looked down, saw his swelling member and got to my feet at once with a startled scream - revenge forgotten.

Niklaus lay on the bed, chest heaving and cheeks flushed - talk of cheeks - mine was burning.

" A-are you okay? " I finally found the voice to ask when the swell of his pants kept rising. Did I do this?

"I would be once this calms down " he said, boldly pointing to his below.

I scratched the back of my neck, why was I feeling guilty ? it was all his fault, he was the one who started this ; he seduced me first!

" W-what can I do to help? "

His face lit up like Christmas " You want to help me? " but then the lewd smile graced his face again.

"On second thought, the cold shower is available. Make yourself comfortable " I said and escaped out of my own room .
