IN THE LION'S DEN

Suddenly, I remembered that I need to offer him whiskey. So I poured the whiskey into a glass and I gave it to him.

While he was receiving the glass from me, he brushed his fingers against my wrist gently and I flinched at his touch.

He drank the whiskey still gazing at me. "Come and sit on my lap," he ordered me.

I slowly walked to him and sat on his lap. I wrapped my hand around his broad shoulders. But unexpectedly I tripped my hand over the glass and all the whiskey fell over his shirt. I froze as I saw his shirt which was now soaked in whiskey.

" I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose," I cried and he was still expressionless. He started at me and pulled me closer to him until we were just inches apart. I was petrified. And his lips met mine and we shared a passionate kiss which lasted for a minute.

That was it. I couldn't take it anymore. I got up from his lap immediately. I tried to stabilize my breathing. He stared at me confused.

" I'm sorry. I don't need any job from you. Because if I'm with you any longer it will be not right for me. " I said him looking down.

I tried to go away but Liam grabbed my hand. He grabbed me by my waist and held me tightly. " You are mine for the night," he whispered in my ear.

I froze. What is he going to do now?

" But I don't need any job from you," I said weakly.

" What else do you need? I'll give you anything. Just be mine for the night."

I released myself from his grip again and locked my eyes with him. " I'm don't want to be with you. The more I look at you, the more I'm falling for you. And I don't need a broken heart even. "

He rolled his eyes at my answer. " What makes you think that I'll break your heart? "

I raised my eyebrows at him. Seriously??? " You seem to be a person who doesn't do relationships."

He chuckled." Do you mean silly high school romance and holding hands under the tree? I'm not a teenager. And you need to stop acting like one. "

I smirked at his remarks. " You may look handsome outside. But inside you are just a jerk. And I'm a stupid who adores you. "

I walked away from him and opened the door. It was locked. I turned around to look at Liam grinning. " You are stuck with me tonight sweetheart. "

I sighed. Liam started to drink off whiskey from the bottle. He offered me some but I refused.

He drank some more and went to sleep on the bed. I stared at Liam who was now sleeping peacefully. I felt so stupid today.

Not only did I miss a big break in my career, but I also lost only one chance of sleeping with him. I thought that by not sleeping with him, I could prevent getting hurt.

But now I'm more hurt than before. And what is worse is I can't get away from this room. I slowly walked to the bed where he was sleeping.

" Miss me already sweetheart? ", I stood still in my tracks. How did he notice me? I thought he was asleep.

I shook my head as if disagreeing with him. " Hop on me baby, let's go on for a ride. "

He completely turned me on that I can't even resist anymore. " But I don't need any job from you. I only want you tonight," I said.

" Then you get only that," he said and pulled me towards him. I got on top of him and locked my lips with him.

He rolled me over and started to undress me as he kissed me ferociously. It felt good. But our good moment didn't last.

Suddenly Liam got a call from his phone. At first, he ignored it. But a few moments later, there was something red like a flashlight that started blinking from the ceiling lights.

Liam glanced at the lights with disappointment. He got away from me and attend the call. " How many times do I have to tell you, people? Never disturb me when I'm with a chick," he yelled.

Suddenly his face turned serious as he was listening to his caller's answer. What the hell is going on here?

He stormed out of the room immediately. I was confused and didn't know what to do. Should I have to leave or stay?

I dressed up and was still laying on the bed hoping he would come back. I was very tired and drifted into sleep.

When I woke up, it was still 5 am. I was dazed. Liam still didn't return. Maybe he forgot. Suddenly someone entered the room and I was relieved to look at Cece.

" What the heck is going on here? " I questioned her.

" I'll explain to you later, now let's leave. "

We both left the room together. Liam was standing there discussing something with the other guy. He noticed me leaving and came towards me.

" We are not done yet. I'll be seeing you tomorrow sweetheart. " he winked at me. I shuddered.

I walked outside the mansion and got in the car along with Cece. I was still dazed. Does he want to see me tomorrow?

I couldn't believe it. " How did it go? " Cece asked.

" I didn't sleep with him. And I don't need the job which he offers me," I blurted out.

She was confused. " You have got to be kidding me, Hannah. This is your one time opportunity. "

I just looked down feeling empty about the events that happened tonight. He wants to see me again. But I don't want to see him.

I don't want anything from him again. I don't want to fall in love with a total jerk.

What is wrong with me? Why can't I just be like anybody?

𝙇𝙞𝙖𝙢'𝙨 𝙋𝙊𝙑:

I am extremely annoyed right now. I hate it most when I'm disturbed especially at a time like this. I got her right where I wanted. She was in my bed and I was above to have her.

She surrendered herself to me. But I was interrupted.

I felt like a child who was denied candy. I looked at Ricky annoyed. " You better have an explanation for this. You know that I hate being disturbed when I'm with a girl."

" Mr. Eaton, we have caught a spy. That's why we had to update you. "

He seems to make a fair claim. This is very important than anything else. " How did you get him caught," I questioned.

" He was caught red-handed by Dario. He was seen browsing sensitive information from your laptop and was mailing it to himself. He even tampered with the CCTV footage of your private workspace. "

It's good that Dario caught him before he made a big mess. Dario is one of the best fighters in our gang. He had been very helpful in so many incidents before.

" Did you find out what information he was accessing? ", I questioned him.

" He was looking into the details about shipments. I suspect that he is the reason for our shipment breach. "

That son of a bitch has caused us so much loss. Mexican allies started to underestimate us and they are demanding more money from us.

He can't get away with this easily. He must pay for what he did. " Don't leave him until he tells us who he is working for. And see if the shipments are safe. Change the location or tucks. "

Ricky nodded. I went to the basement room where the spy was tied up. He was tied up in a chair. Dario was drilling him and was trying to make him talk.

I would say that Dario wasn't going easy on him. He was bleeding from his mouth. I think his tooth must have been broken. He noticed me entering and he came to me.

" Mr. Eaton, He is not cooperating," he said.

I studied him for a moment. He looked very numb and unharmed by all these tortures. It looked like he was drugged. He must be high on morphine or something else. That's what is making him endure all these tortures.

" Do you how he got drugged? " I asked looking at Dario.

He looked puzzled. " We are not able to figure it out. But I think he took it in case of emergency. The drug he took is strong enough to make him immune to our tortures. It will take at least 5 hours to wear off. After that, we may be able to get off information from him."

I should appreciate this traitor for his perfect plan. He even got drugged as a back up just in case so that he will feel numb to the tortures.

" Did you manage to change our shipments route?"

" We are working on it, Mr. Eaton. We are tracking the route continuously. The worst-case scenario is we will just lose access for a while. This time our shipments won't be damaged."

It is good that he was caught now. Otherwise, he would have caused a lot more damage.

The mastermind behind this whole assassin is going to be very sorry that he even thought of messing with me. I'm going to find him and end forever.
