His touch made my breath stop in my throat and I swallowed, or at least I tried to – I was having a hard time breathing.
Neither could I think, I couldn’t think of how to stop him from messing with my head.I just stood frozen.
Maria, he’s messing with you
That was the only reminder I needed.I slapped his hand away not minding that my cheek was tingling with excitement and arching for his touch.I had to stop him now before things go further.
“What do you think you’re doing ?” I retorted
“What do you think I’m doing ? ” he drawled seductively, his breath hitting my ear and I withheld a gasp. I shouldn’t show I was excited from whatever he’s doing to me.
“Trust me that’s not going to work on me, Mr Sparks” I said using my formal tone and he retreated.
I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding and knew at once, Niles was dangerous.If he could set my body on flame with just a touch, then what more a kiss?
It gave me goosebumps just to think about how much influence his touch had over me.
No Maria , fight over this. You’re more than this little temptation.
“Fine, I give up.” He gave up raising his hands in surrender “I’m not going to tease you anyway since you passed my test “
“Test? What test?”
“I can’t have you working for me if you’re vulnerable to my charms”
I frowned at once “What in the love of God are you talking about?”
“If you aren’t invulnerable to my charms, then you’re likely to fall for Eden’s charms and trust me when I say he’s a manipulative jerk…..’
” So you’re trying to say he’ll seduce me into betraying you?”
He answered by nodding positively and i gasped, then chuckled, laughed afterwards before reality dawned on me.
“Suppose all you said is true, you really believe I’m going to betray you after what we went through today?”
Niles breathed “I trust you Maria but Eden can be very convincing …..”
“Just like I said” he smiled in return
Something snapped inside me and I didn’t even realize when I blurted “Is this a family or a war front ? How can you all be so competitive for everything?”
I saw Niles raise a brow at my outburst but he choose to remain silent. He allowed me to say and rave whatever was on my mind but if anything, he was amused.vAt my words or me? I don’t know.
“I know my family isn’t the best but atleast we didn’t try to kill each other….”
“Mr Adams wants you all over for breakfast ” One of the maids announced out of nowhere startling us, well me since Niles wasn’t shaken at all.
“We’ll be there” Niles replied charming the lady with one of his killer smiles and she blushed while I rolled my eyes and groaned out loud.
I couldn’t imagine how he could date Tina and flirt with other girls while Tina’s practically a few rooms away from us.
Great, I almost forgot he’s a player
“How can you do that?” I asked once the blushing maid was out of sight .
“Do what?” Niles asked in pretence. He definitely knew what I was talking about.
“Be in a relationship and date other species of girls?”
“Good choice of words” Niles criticized but I didn’t mind if that’ll get my question answered. He simply stretched and stared me in the eye
“I don’t know what you’re talking , you’re the one who said it all but anyway let’s go prepare for war “
“War?” I frowned
“Haven’t you figured it out?”
“Figure what out?”
“Breakfast is just a camouflage, Maria.The true meaning is…..”
“War” I answered
” Thats my girl” Niles praised and for the first time in history I felt like I just achieved something big and I had a feeling I was going to achieve greater things from now . If the wars wouldn’t swallow me whole.
**********************************************
Niles’s POV
Tina was beginning to get annoying, she couldn’t stop blabbering how she doesn’t support the idea of Isabelle having a nanny called Maria .She was jealous of Maria and that was one of the qualities I disliked so much.
Jealousy? I hated it a lot cause Kay used that emotion a lot to manipulate me when she was around which is why I discarded anything and anyone that arouses such feeling in me.
But I couldn’t just get rid of Tina yet ,our relationship wasn’t just based on pleasure, She and I had a lot of projects our companies were working on together.
So I just tuned out her complains by going to sleep , she knew at once that meant end of discussion and knew better than to disturb me further.
When I woke the next day , all my body screamed for coffee .So I decided to go make it since I couldn’t drink coffee made by others. A weird behaviour acquired after going through Kay’s manipulation.
During our marriage, Kay wanted children but I didn’t, considering we were so young then. Heck! I got married at the age of sixteen , weird but I always wanted to do something different and considering I’ve being inlove with kay since childhood, I wondered ‘ why wait?’ So we jumped into the deep waters of marriage.
When persuading me didn’t work, kay gave up or so I thought until she drugged my coffee and the next happened and before I knew what was going on, I was a father.I was pushed into fatherhood so quickly , and that became the beginning of the strain in our marriage.
Eversince then, I’m cautious about my coffee cause no one goes near its dwelling.
I was so immersed in thought that I didn’t notice the presence of Maria , but I caught her secretly checking me out before rummaging the fridge and decided at once to tease her.
I slowly tiptoed out of my position and walked towards her , standing behind her knowing what was going to happen next. she ran into my chest and played ignorant but non of that stunned me as much as when my touch didn’t affect her, which makes her relatively safe from me.
Why? you might ask but I’m no gentleman, once we start something even as small as a flirt, we start to finish.
Or maybe she was just faking she wasn’t affected by me .Then she better fake to the end cause once she stops, I’ll have my chance cause I don’t give up on treasures that gives pleasure.
Also, if she could resist my charm that means Eden’s wouldn’t work on her either. Eden and I have a complicated relationship and are fighting a battle that started before time began so I don’t recruit comrades that will be influenced or coerced by him which he’s surpricingly good at.
I noticed her cheek lift up in disapproval after I sent one of my powerful smiles to the maid who had called us down for dinner.
Well, she shouldn’t look at me that way because its wasn’t my fault that she’s blushing like crazy, the maid I mean, neither was it my fault that I was bestowed with great features.
“How can you do that?”she asked
“Do what?”I asked in pretence. I knew exactly what she was talking about but I didn’t want to give her the pleasure.
“Be in a relationship and date other species of girls?”
“Nice choice of words” I criticized but she didn’t give a darmn about it so I leaned forward and looked her straight in the eye saying
“I don’t know what you’re talking, you’re the one who said it all but anyway let’s go prepare for war”
“War?” she frowned probably confused
“Haven’t you figured it out?”
