"What a pleasant surprise Mr. Knights."
He didn't reply instead just stared at me and I did the same. I just couldn't believe that this is really happening.
I still can't digest the fact that we have never seen each other in these five years but I still love him. Only him.
"Tears don't suit you, baby girl." He said and I noticed that I indeed am crying.
I haven't seen him for five years so I'm emotional.
Nothing else.
I looked up to see him very close to me and its like my body is possessed. I stood up and jumped in his arms.
Fuck!
Only I know how much I missed this.
And missed him.
He lifted me up and sat on the sofa while placing me on his lap still hugging.
"I missed you so much princess." He mumbles with his face in the crook of my neck.
"I missed you too Ryan." I whispered back.
I pull away to look into his eyes which held love and adoration in them. Slowly we both leaned forward involuntarily and our lips met.
I finally felt at home with his lips moving against mine in a perfect sync. It was such a passionate kiss showing how much we missed each other and how much we love each other.
I just felt content at that point of time and I really wish that I could stop time.
We both broke the kiss out of breath and he rested his forehead on mine.
"I love you Ryan." I whispered staring at him.
"I love you more baby." He said caressing my cheeks lovingly.
I don't know for how much time we just sat there in each others arms without saying anything but then then I finally came back to reality.
"Ryan, you shouldn't have come here." I said.
"I had to come because of you." He replied a little icily and stood up to stand in front of the big window.
"You could have asked Nathan or something but this is dangerous even though I loved it that you came." I explained standing beside him.
"Ohh really? And going on a date with a man you met at the club is not dangerous?" he replied glaring.
Ohh so its about Logan.
Nathan is so going to get kicked when I meet him.
"Ohh..so you are just jealous, I see." I said grinning a little which vanished instantly looking into his eyes.
"Logan is Mr. Woodel's son Ryan. He isnt dangerous and it's not a date just dinner so stop overreacting like Nathan." I stated.
"I'm not fucking overreacting. How do you know he is not dangerous? Have you met him before? How much do you know him? " he asked.
"No. I don't know him much but I just know he's not a bad guy, Ryan. I know." I answered.
"I don't care if he is good or bad because you're not going anywhere." He said nonchalantly.
"Who the hell said I'm not going? I already said yes and I will go." I snapped at him angrily.
"We have met after five years Mayla. I don't want to be hard on you so stop it right now." He said trying to control his anger.
"But you're being hard on me Ryan. Its my decision not yours or anybody else's." I reasoned.
"You belong to me Mayla. I think you have forgotten that." He said pinning me to the glass window.
"Don't say that shit right now." I fumed trying to move out but his fucking grip is really tight.
"Its not shit. You belong to me and only me. And it is final that you are not going." He hissed tightening his grip on my wrists.
"But it's just a freaking dinner! What's the problem?" I demanded mad already.
"The problem is that I don't like him or any man who wants to take you out. Now you stop fighting for a guy you hardly know and cancel your plan with him." He ordered.
Why is freaking doing this?!
Does he really has to be a controlling jerk all the time!?
"You know, I don't like your over possessiveness. So you can shove your order up your ass because I'm going whether you like it or not. " I snapped.
"So you have made your mind. You don't want to change your decision?" He asked raising his eyebrows and looked calm.
I don't like it when he is calm in these situations. That means he has a back up plan.
"No. I will go ." I replied and he came close and nibbled my ear.
"Alright princess.We will see." He whispered sending shivers down my spine.
He pulled away all of a sudden and sat on my chair as if he is the boss.
"Asshole." I muttered but he heard it and chuckled.
"You look so sexy in that pencil skirt."He smirked.
"Tell me something i don't know already." I replied sassily placing hands on my hips.
"Sit." He said shaking his head at my answer.
"If you're forgetting something Mr. Knights then let me remind you. This is my cabin and the chair where you're currently sitting is mine." I pointed at the chair while he just placed his hands on the back of his head and his legs on the table.
Jerk.
"Then come and get your chair."he replied smirking.
How I wish I could slap that smirk off of his handsome face.
Keep dreaming May..
I moved towards him but then how am I supposed to make him stand. I mean he is such a giant.
I know he just wants to irritate me so I'm not gonna give him the satisfaction. I sit on my table in front of him instead and smirk at him in return.
'You know this position is better. I'm above you." I said crossing my legs while he stares at me.
"I can show you another position where you can be above me." He suggests waggling his brows.
"Why don't you show me then." I replied shocking him a little maybe because he would have thought that I would shy away and stutter.
"I so wanna fuck you right across this table. Hard." He says huskily looking at my legs.
"Then what are you waiting for?" I asked standing up and sitting on his lap while his arms instantly snake around my waist.
"Because I'll not be able to stop once we will start. Five years. Remember?" He whispered in my years making me shiver again.
"So..." I said not knowing what else to say because my panty is already wet.
"Josh called." He said and I forgot all about my panty and got serious.
Did I mention that Josh is helping us find the man who did this to us back then? No?
Josh Parker. My ex. Yes, he is actually helping us
"He caught a man named Henry and he admitted that he was the one who sent all the texts and called you. But he is just working for someone else who he too doesn't know." He explains.
"That's good. Finally but how is it possible. I mean if he works for someone then he has to know who his boss is." I said confused.
"I know but apparently his boss has never met him personally. There was another man who gave him orders and money and everything." He replied.
"Okay. What are we going to do now?" I asked.
"Hmm. I'll handle this situation with Josh and as for you then you are just going to handle business. Easy?" He said and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Whatever."
"I'm really proud of you Mayla. The way you have managed this empire in these three years is great and that too alone." He said with a genuine smile.
"Thanks but Dad helped me so its not alone." I replied and kissed him.
"I can't wait for you to come to office with me." He said looking outside the window .
"What do you mean?" I asked caressing his cheeks.
"Well you are not gonna stay Ms. Grayson forever. You will be Mrs. Knights in the near future so you would have to manage our business too." He said smirking making me blush.
"Who said I'll marry you?" I asked grinning.
"Your face says it all." He replies chuckling.
"Jerk." I muttered hiding my face in his chest.
"Only yours soon to be Mrs. Knights." He said chuckling wrapping his arms around me.
