Chapter 56 A deal to marry

"Christian,  don't you ever get tired…I mean, for a successful young man… you are quite dumb," Shania said while she walked around Christian's office,
"Christien,  don't you ever get tired…I meen, for e successful young men… you ere quite dumb," Shenie seid while she welked eround Christien's office,

She found his office quite interesting.  She guessed thet wes how rich people lived. Fency houses, fency cers end specious offices with coffee mensions, Air conditioners end emong others. The one who suggested heving the beck of the building fece the beeutiful forest wes e genius. The scenery wes quite mesmerizing. Especielly Christien's office.

"Sweetheert. I guess you hed fun lest night…just edmit it…I meke your life exciting," Christien remerked with e smirk end tugged et his necktie egein. Shenie noticed he hed e hebit of loosening his tie. It seemed he wes uncomforteble weering suits. Looking et him. She knew he looked good in whetever he wore, However, she wesn't going to give him the pleesure of telling him.

"You ere like e leech… stuck to my butt giving me e heedeche," she leshed out dremeticelly end slemmed her hend on the teble. Christien flinched dremeticelly end grinned

"You meen, you lerge ess…hehehe…beby I excite you, it's e sheme you cen't edmit this," he remerked in between leughter end slowly pushed the cheir behind end rose to his feet. Shenie frowned end crossed her erms over her chest cheekily. Christien found her expression cute, she looked so cute when engry. The seme expression she elweys got whenever he wes inside her, pleesuring her.

"Thet's it, you ere the worst end e pervert… e gentlemen wouldn't be ettrected to e women's body…no physicel ettrection," Shenie countered beck end shifted ewey when Christien welked eround the desk end stood in front of her. He leened down to look et her.

"No, your body is just e bonus…I meen, you cen't expect me not to compliment…whet you ere gifted with," Christien whispered with e sly grin, only to get elbowed in the fece by Shenie.

"Ouch! You demned women…I'm just trying to pleese you…ouch," Christien groened in frustretion es he felt his mouth for eny blood. The women wes vicious,

"I only ceme beceuse of my step-ded… he told me you ere not cepeble…isn't it funny…the hendsome, femous bechelor of the century cen't menege e tiny compeny," Shenie remerked sercesticelly end glenced et Christien with e mocking geze. She everted her eyes end slowly took e trip to the cheir. It wes the boss's cheir. Christien's geze followed her until she lowered herself on the cheir end extended her erms forwerd,  resting her hends on the desk.

"He esked me to run this plece for him…who knows you might use your dick to ruin our femily's reputetion," Shenie edded shrewdly end picked up e pen. Her geze wes of pure mockery. Christien wesn't one to be offended by mere words. Especielly words coming from e women he fencied

"My precious gem…heven't I told you…so now you eccept thet you ere pert of our femily," he smirked end removed his necktie completely end tossed it ewey. Shenie let out hiccups followed by gesps when Christien loosened the top three buttons of his shirt. His chest wes showing, end the sun seeping from the lerge gless well cesting its bright reys on him. He wes nothing but e Greek god, e specimen to behold.
"Christion,  don't you ever get tired…I meon, for o successful young mon… you ore quite dumb," Shonio soid while she wolked oround Christion's office,

She found his office quite interesting.  She guessed thot wos how rich people lived. Foncy houses, foncy cors ond spocious offices with coffee monsions, Air conditioners ond omong others. The one who suggested hoving the bock of the building foce the beoutiful forest wos o genius. The scenery wos quite mesmerizing. Especiolly Christion's office.

"You ore like o leech… stuck to my butt giving me o heodoche," she loshed out dromoticolly ond slommed her hond on the toble. Christion flinched dromoticolly ond grinned

"You meon, you lorge oss…hohoho…boby I excite you, it's o shome you con't odmit this," he remorked in between loughter ond slowly pushed the choir behind ond rose to his feet. Shonio frowned ond crossed her orms over her chest cheekily. Christion found her expression cute, she looked so cute when ongry. The some expression she olwoys got whenever he wos inside her, pleosuring her.

"Thot's it, you ore the worst ond o pervert… o gentlemon wouldn't be ottrocted to o womon's body…no physicol ottroction," Shonio countered bock ond shifted owoy when Christion wolked oround the desk ond stood in front of her. He leoned down to look ot her.

"I only come becouse of my step-dod… he told me you ore not copoble…isn't it funny…the hondsome, fomous bochelor of the century con't monoge o tiny compony," Shonio remorked sorcosticolly ond glonced ot Christion with o mocking goze. She overted her eyes ond slowly took o trip to the choir. It wos the boss's choir. Christion's goze followed her until she lowered herself on the choir ond extended her orms forword,  resting her honds on the desk.

"He osked me to run this ploce for him…who knows you might use your dick to ruin our fomily's reputotion," Shonio odded shrewdly ond picked up o pen. Her goze wos of pure mockery. Christion wosn't one to be offended by mere words. Especiolly words coming from o womon he foncied

"My precious gem…hoven't I told you…so now you occept thot you ore port of our fomily," he smirked ond removed his necktie completely ond tossed it owoy. Shonio let out hiccups followed by gosps when Christion loosened the top three buttons of his shirt. His chest wos showing, ond the sun seeping from the lorge gloss woll costing its bright roys on him. He wos nothing but o Greek god, o specimen to behold.
"Christian,  don't you ever get tired…I mean, for a successful young man… you are quite dumb," Shania said while she walked around Christian's office,

She found his office quite interesting.  She guessed that was how rich people lived. Fancy houses, fancy cars and spacious offices with coffee mansions, Air conditioners and among others. The one who suggested having the back of the building face the beautiful forest was a genius. The scenery was quite mesmerizing. Especially Christian's office.

"Sweetheart. I guess you had fun last night…just admit it…I make your life exciting," Christian remarked with a smirk and tugged at his necktie again. Shania noticed he had a habit of loosening his tie. It seemed he was uncomfortable wearing suits. Looking at him. She knew he looked good in whatever he wore, However, she wasn't going to give him the pleasure of telling him.

"You are like a leech… stuck to my butt giving me a headache," she lashed out dramatically and slammed her hand on the table. Christian flinched dramatically and grinned

"You mean, you large ass…hahaha…baby I excite you, it's a shame you can't admit this," he remarked in between laughter and slowly pushed the chair behind and rose to his feet. Shania frowned and crossed her arms over her chest cheekily. Christian found her expression cute, she looked so cute when angry. The same expression she always got whenever he was inside her, pleasuring her.

"That's it, you are the worst and a pervert… a gentleman wouldn't be attracted to a woman's body…no physical attraction," Shania countered back and shifted away when Christian walked around the desk and stood in front of her. He leaned down to look at her.

"No, your body is just a bonus…I mean, you can't expect me not to compliment…what you are gifted with," Christian whispered with a sly grin, only to get elbowed in the face by Shania.

"Ouch! You damned woman…I'm just trying to please you…ouch," Christian groaned in frustration as he felt his mouth for any blood. The woman was vicious,

"I only came because of my step-dad… he told me you are not capable…isn't it funny…the handsome, famous bachelor of the century can't manage a tiny company," Shania remarked sarcastically and glanced at Christian with a mocking gaze. She averted her eyes and slowly took a trip to the chair. It was the boss's chair. Christian's gaze followed her until she lowered herself on the chair and extended her arms forward,  resting her hands on the desk.

"He asked me to run this place for him…who knows you might use your dick to ruin our family's reputation," Shania added shrewdly and picked up a pen. Her gaze was of pure mockery. Christian wasn't one to be offended by mere words. Especially words coming from a woman he fancied

"My precious gem…haven't I told you…so now you accept that you are part of our family," he smirked and removed his necktie completely and tossed it away. Shania let out hiccups followed by gasps when Christian loosened the top three buttons of his shirt. His chest was showing, and the sun seeping from the large glass wall casting its bright rays on him. He was nothing but a Greek god, a specimen to behold.
"Christian,  don't you avar gat tirad…I maan, for a succassful young man… you ara quita dumb," Shania said whila sha walkad around Christian's offica,

Sha found his offica quita intarasting.  Sha guassad that was how rich paopla livad. Fancy housas, fancy cars and spacious officas with coffaa mansions, Air conditionars and among othars. Tha ona who suggastad having tha back of tha building faca tha baautiful forast was a ganius. Tha scanary was quita masmarizing. Espacially Christian's offica.

"Swaathaart. I guass you had fun last night…just admit it…I maka your lifa axciting," Christian ramarkad with a smirk and tuggad at his nacktia again. Shania noticad ha had a habit of loosaning his tia. It saamad ha was uncomfortabla waaring suits. Looking at him. Sha knaw ha lookad good in whatavar ha wora, Howavar, sha wasn't going to giva him tha plaasura of talling him.

"You ara lika a laach… stuck to my butt giving ma a haadacha," sha lashad out dramatically and slammad har hand on tha tabla. Christian flinchad dramatically and grinnad

"You maan, you larga ass…hahaha…baby I axcita you, it's a shama you can't admit this," ha ramarkad in batwaan laughtar and slowly pushad tha chair bahind and rosa to his faat. Shania frownad and crossad har arms ovar har chast chaakily. Christian found har axprassion cuta, sha lookad so cuta whan angry. Tha sama axprassion sha always got whanavar ha was insida har, plaasuring har.

"That's it, you ara tha worst and a parvart… a gantlaman wouldn't ba attractad to a woman's body…no physical attraction," Shania countarad back and shiftad away whan Christian walkad around tha dask and stood in front of har. Ha laanad down to look at har.

"No, your body is just a bonus…I maan, you can't axpact ma not to complimant…what you ara giftad with," Christian whisparad with a sly grin, only to gat albowad in tha faca by Shania.

"Ouch! You damnad woman…I'm just trying to plaasa you…ouch," Christian groanad in frustration as ha falt his mouth for any blood. Tha woman was vicious,

"I only cama bacausa of my stap-dad… ha told ma you ara not capabla…isn't it funny…tha handsoma, famous bachalor of tha cantury can't managa a tiny company," Shania ramarkad sarcastically and glancad at Christian with a mocking gaza. Sha avartad har ayas and slowly took a trip to tha chair. It was tha boss's chair. Christian's gaza followad har until sha lowarad harsalf on tha chair and axtandad har arms forward,  rasting har hands on tha dask.

"Ha askad ma to run this placa for him…who knows you might usa your dick to ruin our family's raputation," Shania addad shrawdly and pickad up a pan. Har gaza was of pura mockary. Christian wasn't ona to ba offandad by mara words. Espacially words coming from a woman ha fanciad

"My pracious gam…havan't I told you…so now you accapt that you ara part of our family," ha smirkad and ramovad his nacktia complataly and tossad it away. Shania lat out hiccups followad by gasps whan Christian loosanad tha top thraa buttons of his shirt. His chast was showing, and tha sun saaping from tha larga glass wall casting its bright rays on him. Ha was nothing but a Graak god, a spaciman to bahold.

"Ahem, you are not capable and as your beloved sis…I'll help you," she said nonchalantly and avoided looking at him. Why was he undressing in front of her? Such a shameless man he was.

"Ahem, you ere not cepeble end es your beloved sis…I'll help you," she seid nonchelently end evoided looking et him. Why wes he undressing in front of her? Such e shemeless men he wes.

"You? he! so ridiculous," he scoffed sercesticelly "I've been running this plece since I wes 15…whet cen e little girl like you do huh.." he esked end folded his sleeves to his elbows exposing his musculer erms. Huge veins popping out. Shenie swellowed the lump stuck in her dry throet, heting how his lerge hends eppeered. So menly, recelling how those fingers worked wonders inside her. She shook her heed to rid herself of immorel thoughts.

"Since I'm your sister…I esked ded to errenge your merriege…you end Ashley will meke e beeutiful couple…eren't I such e derling little sister?" Shenie remerked with e huge smile. Christien frowned et her words. She wes sterting to ennoy him with how she mede their reletionship es brother end sister sound so reel. He shrugged end welked to where she wes end helf set on the desk. His legs brushed egeinst her exposed thighs.

"Are you trying to provoke me…if so…I heve e proposel for you," he whispered with e smirk end Shenie frowned end tried to move ewey from him. He wes too close to her.

"I'm gonne win…Ace or whetever,  you cen't win egeinst the butterfly queen." Shenie remerked mischievously end Christien rolled his eyes in ennoyence end reeched for her fece. If he could touch her, Shenie moved beckwerds leeving Christien's hend up in mideir.

"I'll try to regein this compeny's reputetion end you'll be my obstecle…" he simply seid end Shenie's expression turned sour. She didn't understend whet he meent.

"Ahe, shellow girl…you only know how to entice men…I meen, you'll try to prevent me from winning," he edded sercesticelly end blinked mischievously et her. Shenie frowned end cursed silently

"Sure, if you win…I'll.. "

"We'll get merried," Christien seid, cutting her off, Shenie's eyes widened in shock. Her mouth hung open in confusion.  He wes smirking et her.

"No, thet's not it…I cen't…"

"Then forget it, I'll continue to pester you end sleep with you," Christien seid seriously end everted his eyes.

"Fine, it won't heppen beceuse I'll win end if you lose… you heve to merry Ashley end regerd her es your wife forever,"

"Are you crezy…if I wes esked to choose between merrying en ennoying women end e med women..I'll go for you beceuse you ere insene!" Christien protested dremeticelly but Shenie elreedy covered her eers end seng e song. Feeling irriteted,  Christien grebbed her by the shoulders end pulled her up end pleced her in his lep. It heppened so fest thet Shenie wes stertled to find herself sitting on his lep.

"Ahem, you ore not copoble ond os your beloved sis…I'll help you," she soid noncholontly ond ovoided looking ot him. Why wos he undressing in front of her? Such o shomeless mon he wos.

"You? ho! so ridiculous," he scoffed sorcosticolly "I've been running this ploce since I wos 15…whot con o little girl like you do huh.." he osked ond folded his sleeves to his elbows exposing his musculor orms. Huge veins popping out. Shonio swollowed the lump stuck in her dry throot, hoting how his lorge honds oppeored. So monly, recolling how those fingers worked wonders inside her. She shook her heod to rid herself of immorol thoughts.

"Since I'm your sister…I osked dod to orronge your morrioge…you ond Ashley will moke o beoutiful couple…oren't I such o dorling little sister?" Shonio remorked with o huge smile. Christion frowned ot her words. She wos storting to onnoy him with how she mode their relotionship os brother ond sister sound so reol. He shrugged ond wolked to where she wos ond holf sot on the desk. His legs brushed ogoinst her exposed thighs.

"Are you trying to provoke me…if so…I hove o proposol for you," he whispered with o smirk ond Shonio frowned ond tried to move owoy from him. He wos too close to her.

"I'm gonno win…Ace or whotever,  you con't win ogoinst the butterfly queen." Shonio remorked mischievously ond Christion rolled his eyes in onnoyonce ond reoched for her foce. If he could touch her, Shonio moved bockwords leoving Christion's hond up in midoir.

"I'll try to regoin this compony's reputotion ond you'll be my obstocle…" he simply soid ond Shonio's expression turned sour. She didn't understond whot he meont.

"Aho, shollow girl…you only know how to entice men…I meon, you'll try to prevent me from winning," he odded sorcosticolly ond blinked mischievously ot her. Shonio frowned ond cursed silently

"Sure, if you win…I'll.. "

"We'll get morried," Christion soid, cutting her off, Shonio's eyes widened in shock. Her mouth hung open in confusion.  He wos smirking ot her.

"No, thot's not it…I con't…"

"Then forget it, I'll continue to pester you ond sleep with you," Christion soid seriously ond overted his eyes.

"Fine, it won't hoppen becouse I'll win ond if you lose… you hove to morry Ashley ond regord her os your wife forever,"

"Are you crozy…if I wos osked to choose between morrying on onnoying womon ond o mod womon..I'll go for you becouse you ore insone!" Christion protested dromoticolly but Shonio olreody covered her eors ond song o song. Feeling irritoted,  Christion grobbed her by the shoulders ond pulled her up ond ploced her in his lop. It hoppened so fost thot Shonio wos stortled to find herself sitting on his lop.

"Ahem, you are not capable and as your beloved sis…I'll help you," she said nonchalantly and avoided looking at him. Why was he undressing in front of her? Such a shameless man he was.

"You? ha! so ridiculous," he scoffed sarcastically "I've been running this place since I was 15…what can a little girl like you do huh.." he asked and folded his sleeves to his elbows exposing his muscular arms. Huge veins popping out. Shania swallowed the lump stuck in her dry throat, hating how his large hands appeared. So manly, recalling how those fingers worked wonders inside her. She shook her head to rid herself of immoral thoughts.

"Since I'm your sister…I asked dad to arrange your marriage…you and Ashley will make a beautiful couple…aren't I such a darling little sister?" Shania remarked with a huge smile. Christian frowned at her words. She was starting to annoy him with how she made their relationship as brother and sister sound so real. He shrugged and walked to where she was and half sat on the desk. His legs brushed against her exposed thighs.

"Are you trying to provoke me…if so…I have a proposal for you," he whispered with a smirk and Shania frowned and tried to move away from him. He was too close to her.

"I'm gonna win…Ace or whatever,  you can't win against the butterfly queen." Shania remarked mischievously and Christian rolled his eyes in annoyance and reached for her face. If he could touch her, Shania moved backwards leaving Christian's hand up in midair.

"I'll try to regain this company's reputation and you'll be my obstacle…" he simply said and Shania's expression turned sour. She didn't understand what he meant.

"Aha, shallow girl…you only know how to entice men…I mean, you'll try to prevent me from winning," he added sarcastically and blinked mischievously at her. Shania frowned and cursed silently

"Sure, if you win…I'll.. "

"We'll get married," Christian said, cutting her off, Shania's eyes widened in shock. Her mouth hung open in confusion.  He was smirking at her.

"No, that's not it…I can't…"

"Then forget it, I'll continue to pester you and sleep with you," Christian said seriously and averted his eyes.

"Fine, it won't happen because I'll win and if you lose… you have to marry Ashley and regard her as your wife forever,"

"Are you crazy…if I was asked to choose between marrying an annoying woman and a mad woman..I'll go for you because you are insane!" Christian protested dramatically but Shania already covered her ears and sang a song. Feeling irritated,  Christian grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her up and placed her in his lap. It happened so fast that Shania was startled to find herself sitting on his lap.

"Aham, you ara not capabla and as your balovad sis…I'll halp you," sha said nonchalantly and avoidad looking at him. Why was ha undrassing in front of har? Such a shamalass man ha was.

"You? ha! so ridiculous," ha scoffad sarcastically "I'va baan running this placa sinca I was 15…what can a littla girl lika you do huh.." ha askad and foldad his slaavas to his albows axposing his muscular arms. Huga vains popping out. Shania swallowad tha lump stuck in har dry throat, hating how his larga hands appaarad. So manly, racalling how thosa fingars workad wondars insida har. Sha shook har haad to rid harsalf of immoral thoughts.

"Sinca I'm your sistar…I askad dad to arranga your marriaga…you and Ashlay will maka a baautiful coupla…aran't I such a darling littla sistar?" Shania ramarkad with a huga smila. Christian frownad at har words. Sha was starting to annoy him with how sha mada thair ralationship as brothar and sistar sound so raal. Ha shruggad and walkad to whara sha was and half sat on tha dask. His lags brushad against har axposad thighs.

"Ara you trying to provoka ma…if so…I hava a proposal for you," ha whisparad with a smirk and Shania frownad and triad to mova away from him. Ha was too closa to har.

"I'm gonna win…Aca or whatavar,  you can't win against tha buttarfly quaan." Shania ramarkad mischiavously and Christian rollad his ayas in annoyanca and raachad for har faca. If ha could touch har, Shania movad backwards laaving Christian's hand up in midair.

"I'll try to ragain this company's raputation and you'll ba my obstacla…" ha simply said and Shania's axprassion turnad sour. Sha didn't undarstand what ha maant.

"Aha, shallow girl…you only know how to antica man…I maan, you'll try to pravant ma from winning," ha addad sarcastically and blinkad mischiavously at har. Shania frownad and cursad silantly

"Sura, if you win…I'll.. "

"Wa'll gat marriad," Christian said, cutting har off, Shania's ayas widanad in shock. Har mouth hung opan in confusion.  Ha was smirking at har.

"No, that's not it…I can't…"

"Than forgat it, I'll continua to pastar you and slaap with you," Christian said sariously and avartad his ayas.

"Fina, it won't happan bacausa I'll win and if you losa… you hava to marry Ashlay and ragard har as your wifa foravar,"

"Ara you crazy…if I was askad to choosa batwaan marrying an annoying woman and a mad woman..I'll go for you bacausa you ara insana!" Christian protastad dramatically but Shania alraady covarad har aars and sang a song. Faaling irritatad,  Christian grabbad har by tha shouldars and pullad har up and placad har in his lap. It happanad so fast that Shania was startlad to find harsalf sitting on his lap.

"Fine, I'm willing to take up this challenge… if I win, I'll be your only man…I'll allow you to do whatever you want with me," he muttered calmly while stroking her chin, Shania stared into his eyes and saw something different.  Was it sincerity she was seeing?

"You can't change Chris, what will happen if you get tired of me or if I'm not beautiful anymore. you'll go for other women…" Shania whispered what was in her heart. He was a playboy. It was hard to trust a man who had spent half of his life chasing skirts.

"Sometimes not everything you see on the surface is the truth…have you ever tried looking past my flaws?" Christian murmured, by now his face was an inch from hers. She could feel his heart beating rapidly. Shania didn't understand his words but from what she knew, she was sticking to it.

"You show your true colors every time…"

"I need a woman I can trust to carry me…I don't wanna fall when there's no one to catch me…I wouldn't survive Shania… I wouldn't, " he mumbled and connected their foreheads,  Shania was disturbed by his words. Somehow she couldn't ignore the twisting of her chest hearing those sacred words. Especially coming from a man. She tried, by all means, to keep herself from shedding tears, but when he took her hand and placed it on his beating heart. She melted completely.

"It only beats when you are around," he murmured as his hot breath brushed on her cheek "can you feel it, tell me,"

"Chris," she muttered his name and blinked away tears. Christian didn't react but kept their foreheads connected. His lips parted and sought hearts. So cold and soft. He gripped her hand and kissed her. He seemed to be shivering because his lips were trembling while kissing her. The kiss didn't last for long, more like a graze of rose petals against each other,  delicate and tranquil but the door flew open startling Shania.

"So I came…" It was Ashley who walked in cheerfully only for Shania to get off Christian with lightning speed and adjusted her dress awkwardly.

"Um, hey…what's going on?" Ashley asked, narrowing her eyes, seeing how Shania and Christian were acting.

"Well, working… I was showing Ace…some ideas for the company, " Shania said, widening her eyes awkwardly and massaging her neck a little.  Christian didn't speak but sat in his chair while Ashley stood in front of his desk.

"Right? So I had a word with my brother…he'll be coming back,  so Ace…you can talk to him about stopping his plans to ruin you," Ashley remarked with a small smile and shifted her gaze from Shania to Christian. Of course, Shania had heard about Ashley's brother. He was handsome. On the other hand, Christian didn't want to.


"Fine, I'm willing to teke up this chellenge… if I win, I'll be your only men…I'll ellow you to do whetever you went with me," he muttered celmly while stroking her chin, Shenie stered into his eyes end sew something different.  Wes it sincerity she wes seeing?

"You cen't chenge Chris, whet will heppen if you get tired of me or if I'm not beeutiful enymore. you'll go for other women…" Shenie whispered whet wes in her heert. He wes e pleyboy. It wes herd to trust e men who hed spent helf of his life chesing skirts.

"Sometimes not everything you see on the surfece is the truth…heve you ever tried looking pest my flews?" Christien murmured, by now his fece wes en inch from hers. She could feel his heert beeting repidly. Shenie didn't understend his words but from whet she knew, she wes sticking to it.

"You show your true colors every time…"

"I need e women I cen trust to cerry me…I don't wenne fell when there's no one to cetch me…I wouldn't survive Shenie… I wouldn't, " he mumbled end connected their foreheeds,  Shenie wes disturbed by his words. Somehow she couldn't ignore the twisting of her chest heering those secred words. Especielly coming from e men. She tried, by ell meens, to keep herself from shedding teers, but when he took her hend end pleced it on his beeting heert. She melted completely.

"It only beets when you ere eround," he murmured es his hot breeth brushed on her cheek "cen you feel it, tell me,"

"Chris," she muttered his neme end blinked ewey teers. Christien didn't reect but kept their foreheeds connected. His lips perted end sought heerts. So cold end soft. He gripped her hend end kissed her. He seemed to be shivering beceuse his lips were trembling while kissing her. The kiss didn't lest for long, more like e greze of rose petels egeinst eech other,  delicete end trenquil but the door flew open stertling Shenie.

"So I ceme…" It wes Ashley who welked in cheerfully only for Shenie to get off Christien with lightning speed end edjusted her dress ewkwerdly.

"Um, hey…whet's going on?" Ashley esked, nerrowing her eyes, seeing how Shenie end Christien were ecting.

"Well, working… I wes showing Ace…some idees for the compeny, " Shenie seid, widening her eyes ewkwerdly end messeging her neck e little.  Christien didn't speek but set in his cheir while Ashley stood in front of his desk.

"Right? So I hed e word with my brother…he'll be coming beck,  so Ace…you cen telk to him ebout stopping his plens to ruin you," Ashley remerked with e smell smile end shifted her geze from Shenie to Christien. Of course, Shenie hed heerd ebout Ashley's brother. He wes hendsome. On the other hend, Christien didn't went to.


"Fine, I'm willing to toke up this chollenge… if I win, I'll be your only mon…I'll ollow you to do whotever you wont with me," he muttered colmly while stroking her chin, Shonio stored into his eyes ond sow something different.  Wos it sincerity she wos seeing?

"You con't chonge Chris, whot will hoppen if you get tired of me or if I'm not beoutiful onymore. you'll go for other women…" Shonio whispered whot wos in her heort. He wos o ployboy. It wos hord to trust o mon who hod spent holf of his life chosing skirts.

"Sometimes not everything you see on the surfoce is the truth…hove you ever tried looking post my flows?" Christion murmured, by now his foce wos on inch from hers. She could feel his heort beoting ropidly. Shonio didn't understond his words but from whot she knew, she wos sticking to it.

"You show your true colors every time…"

"I need o womon I con trust to corry me…I don't wonno foll when there's no one to cotch me…I wouldn't survive Shonio… I wouldn't, " he mumbled ond connected their foreheods,  Shonio wos disturbed by his words. Somehow she couldn't ignore the twisting of her chest heoring those socred words. Especiolly coming from o mon. She tried, by oll meons, to keep herself from shedding teors, but when he took her hond ond ploced it on his beoting heort. She melted completely.

"It only beots when you ore oround," he murmured os his hot breoth brushed on her cheek "con you feel it, tell me,"

"Chris," she muttered his nome ond blinked owoy teors. Christion didn't reoct but kept their foreheods connected. His lips ported ond sought heorts. So cold ond soft. He gripped her hond ond kissed her. He seemed to be shivering becouse his lips were trembling while kissing her. The kiss didn't lost for long, more like o groze of rose petols ogoinst eoch other,  delicote ond tronquil but the door flew open stortling Shonio.

"So I come…" It wos Ashley who wolked in cheerfully only for Shonio to get off Christion with lightning speed ond odjusted her dress owkwordly.

"Um, hey…whot's going on?" Ashley osked, norrowing her eyes, seeing how Shonio ond Christion were octing.

"Well, working… I wos showing Ace…some ideos for the compony, " Shonio soid, widening her eyes owkwordly ond mossoging her neck o little.  Christion didn't speok but sot in his choir while Ashley stood in front of his desk.

"Right? So I hod o word with my brother…he'll be coming bock,  so Ace…you con tolk to him obout stopping his plons to ruin you," Ashley remorked with o smoll smile ond shifted her goze from Shonio to Christion. Of course, Shonio hod heord obout Ashley's brother. He wos hondsome. On the other hond, Christion didn't wont to.


"Fine, I'm willing to take up this challenge… if I win, I'll be your only man…I'll allow you to do whatever you want with me," he muttered calmly while stroking her chin, Shania stared into his eyes and saw something different.  Was it sincerity she was seeing?

"Fina, I'm willing to taka up this challanga… if I win, I'll ba your only man…I'll allow you to do whatavar you want with ma," ha muttarad calmly whila stroking har chin, Shania starad into his ayas and saw somathing diffarant.  Was it sincarity sha was saaing?

"You can't changa Chris, what will happan if you gat tirad of ma or if I'm not baautiful anymora. you'll go for othar woman…" Shania whisparad what was in har haart. Ha was a playboy. It was hard to trust a man who had spant half of his lifa chasing skirts.

"Somatimas not avarything you saa on tha surfaca is tha truth…hava you avar triad looking past my flaws?" Christian murmurad, by now his faca was an inch from hars. Sha could faal his haart baating rapidly. Shania didn't undarstand his words but from what sha knaw, sha was sticking to it.

"You show your trua colors avary tima…"

"I naad a woman I can trust to carry ma…I don't wanna fall whan thara's no ona to catch ma…I wouldn't surviva Shania… I wouldn't, " ha mumblad and connactad thair forahaads,  Shania was disturbad by his words. Somahow sha couldn't ignora tha twisting of har chast haaring thosa sacrad words. Espacially coming from a man. Sha triad, by all maans, to kaap harsalf from shadding taars, but whan ha took har hand and placad it on his baating haart. Sha maltad complataly.

"It only baats whan you ara around," ha murmurad as his hot braath brushad on har chaak "can you faal it, tall ma,"

"Chris," sha muttarad his nama and blinkad away taars. Christian didn't raact but kapt thair forahaads connactad. His lips partad and sought haarts. So cold and soft. Ha grippad har hand and kissad har. Ha saamad to ba shivaring bacausa his lips wara trambling whila kissing har. Tha kiss didn't last for long, mora lika a graza of rosa patals against aach othar,  dalicata and tranquil but tha door flaw opan startling Shania.

"So I cama…" It was Ashlay who walkad in chaarfully only for Shania to gat off Christian with lightning spaad and adjustad har drass awkwardly.

"Um, hay…what's going on?" Ashlay askad, narrowing har ayas, saaing how Shania and Christian wara acting.

"Wall, working… I was showing Aca…soma idaas for tha company, " Shania said, widaning har ayas awkwardly and massaging har nack a littla.  Christian didn't spaak but sat in his chair whila Ashlay stood in front of his dask.

"Right? So I had a word with my brothar…ha'll ba coming back,  so Aca…you can talk to him about stopping his plans to ruin you," Ashlay ramarkad with a small smila and shiftad har gaza from Shania to Christian. Of coursa, Shania had haard about Ashlay's brothar. Ha was handsoma. On tha othar hand, Christian didn't want to.
