Read him a book...sleep with him.

"Oh Anastasia, how may I help you?"

She walks to the table and plays with her fingers before interlocking them. "Ermm...miss Marcey, actually, I decided to go to the event with boss." She begins.

Marcey wears a bright smile as she picks some files and places it in her bag before pulling the strap to her shoulder. She notices her worried expression and moves around to hold her hand. "Is something wrong?"

"No. I mean yes. Boss wanted to take my measurement, but then I felt his body temperature was weird. Like so high that it almost burns me even though we wrent in contact. And his eyes..." she trails off remembering the shade of red his eyes was.

Marcey grits her teeth and closes her eyes as she mutters some words under her breath. She thought Ethan had said he could keep his desires in check if he sees her. What happened to all the articles and YouTube tutorials he had been watching for years? What happened to all the self restrain he claims to have built like the great wall of China?

It flew out the moment he thought about holding her. If he couldn't even calm himself now, how is he to be sure he would be able to do things to her without hurting the little girl?

"About that..." what lie should she tell on behalf of her idiotic love struck cousin?

"Is he hungry? Would he like take my engery if I am close?"

Marcey quickly begins to shake her head. "No no..Anastasia it doesn't work like that. He isnt hungry. I assure you it isnt that type of hunger. We have enough energy balls for the next few months. Legally purchased of course. " she closes her eyes and then opens it. Her phone begins to ring in her pocket. "It is just. It has always happened to him. You will just have to wait for the pain to pass. The excrituating pain." She adds feeling sorry for Ethan. She doesnt know how it feels for ones body temperature to rise because he couldn't have what he wanted but she knew his insides too must be burning right now. They might be demons but it didn't mean that their temperature rising above normal level wouldn't cause them to be in pain.

"Pain?" Anastasia repeats. "Isnt it normal for...your kind?"

Marcey gives her a side looped smile. "No darling it isn't. There is a limit our temperature can rise to. Of course above normal human levels but if goes above our limit, it feels like our insides are on fire and it is painful. We feel pain too. Several degrees more than humans do. " she grabs her phone and checks the message. "Ethan that stubborn brat. I dont know why he refuses to have a woman in his bed. It has been years. What does he think he is? A saint?" She complains to herself acting as if she doesn't know why Ethan can't bear the sight of other women.

Ana widens her eyes as she heard Marceys complaints. The boss hasn't been with a woman in years? Is she even safe? Should she be rethinking her decision to work here?

"Oh..no to worry Anastasia, Ethan has more than enough self control. You are completely safe even if you walk around naked in his presence." She then glances at her phone again as it vibrates. "I will postpone the appointment for you two till tomorrow. Dont worry about going anywhere today." She begins to walk towards the door.

"But what about the boss..?" She sounded worried.

Marcey turns around, her hand on the door knob. "What about him? There is nothing I can do. Ana I dont know if it works that way with you humans but for demons, it is a taboo to sleep with your cousin not to mention Ethan will rip my head off before I even get close. Besides, I dont even play for his team. Just let him endure the pain. It will go away by tomorrow latest." it was an exaggeration from her part. The pain would probably be gone in few hours. Five maximum. "If you are so worried about your boss, why dont you check up on him? He stays in the penthouse. Read him a book, beat him awake, sleep with him..I dont care. I have business to attend to. Goodbye and make sure to eat lunch." She then leaves Ana standing alone in the room.

Marcey looks back at the door and wonders if she had gone too far but simply shrugs her shoulders and continues to walk forward. If she doesn't help Ethan by giving his little love a sllight push, he probably wouldn't get anywhere with her with the way he was behaving.

Read him a book, beat him up.. sleep with him. Ana repeats the options Marcey had given her.

If she let's her female hormones decide, sh would really choose sleeping with him. He is good looking, nice to her and seem like a gentleman. Not to mention, he has been celibate for long. How many men can endure that? But, he is her boss and a dangerous, powerful demon and she didnt fancy him. He is just being nice to her. She walks out of the office and finds the elevator that led to the penthouse. Getting in it, Marcey who was hiding somehwere in the hallway smiles at herself as she types something in her phone and sends it to her cousin.

'You should compensate me later.'

Ethan clearly heard his phone vibrate but didnt bother looking at it. He just focused on counting the numbers and letting the cold air hit him and reduce his temperature so he could rush back downstairs and spend more time with Anastasia.

Hearing the ding of the elevator leading to his penthouse, he groans thinking it must be Marcey. Ana probably told her and she is up here to mock him and taunt him again. He picks the duvet and covers his groin, waiting for her to step in. Only to smell a familiar scent drifting to his nostrils.

This divine scent, he could pick it up anywhere. The way Ana smells was different from anything he had ever smelled.

Ana looks around the lounge and at the hole in the wall. The shattered mirror. She shakes her head and walks into the penthouse hoping she wouldn't come across head of humans lying around or something. "Boss..." she calls for him.

She peers into the hallway noticing the bedroom door open. Walking towards it, she carefully uses the was as support preparing to bolt, should in case she realises she made a big mistake walking here and shouldn't have listened to Miss Marcey.
