I can satisfy you

"Ugh..."

The sharp headache attacks me as soon as I wake up. Dizziness conquers me. Where is the migraine coming from? The query crosses my mind. I really cannot consider straight due to strong alcohol I had last night. For a few minutes, I sit in the bed, thinking whatever occurred.

And my eyes widen once I realize the incident I went through last night. The chocolate cream on my breasts, along with the man licking them off. The scene pops up on my mind. Shit. Shit. Shit! How am I supposed to face that goddamn devil under such circumstances?

Inhaling deeply, I step out of the bed first. I should bathe. Who cares what happened last night? The new mindset I set up in the morning. After all, I was the one who made up my mind to accept his sensual requests out of curiosity to satisfy my own sex drive. Right. That's it.

I have no reasons to be embarrassed here. "Morning, love" As usual, Zander appears at the dining table. He has a wide grin on, seems to be gratified about something. Probably because of the incident that took place last night; he enjoyed it too much. "Mhm" I respond.

Let me pretend.

Let me play the clueless sober person to avoid the awkward conversation. "How are you feeling?" The man questions. Is he concerned? "As you can see, I am all fine to walk on my own and chat with you" I reply with my eyes focusing on the dish across me. I dig in.

Having meal without connecting eye contact with him. Because if I did, the flashbacks would hit me, leading me to be embarrassed all of the sudden. "You do have many sides to uncover" Zander mutters, sipping the juice. His words are puzzling. What does he mean?

Many sides?

Several personalities? "I am leaving. Thank you for the breakfast" I flash a smile while standing up from the seat. There is no time to think through what he meant. I can only focus on today's goal. The kid. I should make a move on Leo today. His attention is difficult to obtain.

I thought he would contact me by now after finding out I am rare adult who is willing to understand his passion. Howbeit, here I am, being impatient to receive the call. He is tough, tougher than his parents. "How are you going to make the kid trust you?" Zander asks out of the blue.

Catching me off guard.

"Did you read my thoughts again?" The disappointment rises within to hear the man dragging my doubt out of mind. "You are not going to answer me if I query what your plans are for today so why not find them out by myself?" Innocently, a smile spreads across his face.

I don't think that's how it works. "I have bought the books related to devils. Showing them off to the kid does not sound that bad at all. We can enjoy reading together no matter how much he refuses" If I don't respond, Zander is going to read my thoughts once again.

As result, I can't help but answer the query. "Ah. Why not ask for help from a devil like me?" He tilts his head slowly beneath a slight perplexed frown. "Aside from shapeshifting and controlling someone's body, what can you do? It is not like you can bring random person to life easily"

Rolling my eyes,

I list the reasons down.

Earning a smirk from him. What is that? Something buried inside that smirk tells me I am going to be proven wrong. "I can satisfy you, my doll" Hearing his reply, I regret thinking he got some strong evidences to prove me wrong. "Keep dreaming" I turn around to leave.

But his next sentences cease me in an instant. "All kind of magic that kid's books describe, I am capable of them all" He brags. The flicker of fire sound permeates into my ears right after he states, causing me to face him. And there it is. The little fire gleaming on top of his fingertip.

It feels wrong to witness such a view. These things exist in the fantasy books only, yet here I am, peering at the familiar scene. "What do you want me to do? You are not someone who can step in and out of the mansion" Furrowing brows, I ask. It is not like I can ask for help simply.

He is not in the Ravena clan. Not blood related to the family either. The strict security surrounds the mansion also. I cannot sneak him in to show off some magic in front of the kid. I can't risk that much to ruin other plans. "Don't rush up" Zander beams as his dimples make appearance.

I swear.

This is hundredth time I get distracted by his dimples. They are really eye-catching. "Why?" I tilt my head. I am pretty sure he can see the puzzlement across my expression. "Just come and visit my company this noon. Damian Talon will bring both of us to the mansion himself"

The proud grin upon his face quiets me down. Can he also predict the future or some? There is no way he is saying whatever comes up on mind beneath that confident grin. "Come on. Finish your breakfast and relax. Trust me. He will appear for certain" Zander declares.

Well. If he insists.

Maybe I can believe him in view of the fact that he is not a common human. "Are you paying some cash if he did not pop up today?" I need some refund to make. Call me greedy, I don't give a fuck. Money is the reason I am living. "As much as you wish for" Zander smiles.

Damn, he must be really rich with all the covers he got. Imagine the amount he would make just by disguising as some billionaires. "You make me want to ask for your life" I spit out. Gaining the deep chuckle from him in return. "Is that really your wish?" His right brow rises.

What the heck.

Is he insane?

"No, keep that life to yourself. I am fine with cash refund" Waving my hand, I head to the door. "Aren't you going to finish your breakfast?" He queries. The desperate tone he makes, is impressive truly. "No, thank you" My steps reach outside at last. Time to work.

I wait for the time to pass by going through the files at my company. This Verena Laurel mask got some huge respect so that no employees lift their heads to bow once I walk past. It feels more like a royalty than CEO working here. I wonder how Zander made this Verena.

Is she some intimidating person here? The more I think, the more I can't understand the way male employees quiver around me; as if I have done terribly wrong to them once before. "Ma'am Verena, Sir Zander is here to pick you up from work" The knock echoes in office.

Drawing my attention.

Huh? He is here already? I thought he told me to visit his company instead. How come he is at my company, waiting for me to finish the works? Without thinking anymore, I quickly get out of the office. "Did my presence startle you, love?" Zander stands there before me.

A smile growing across his face like a kid who found his favorite candy. "Yes, I believed I was supposed to pay you visit instead" I reply under a confused frown. "My apologies. I couldn't wait to see my gorgeous lady" Patting my head, he confesses. "Don't pat me"

I dodge. Seriously? I really hate being treated like this. A chuckle escapes between the man's lips over my reaction. "You are intimidating and yet adorable sometimes" He grins. Gosh, I hate that grin. I hate those dimples. I hate his gleaming eyes. I hate him. "Shut up"

As I walk off, he chases after me. Attracting the attention from people walking past. "Good afternoon, Ma'am" Some greet, while some bow their heads. "I sent my driver back to go with your car" Zander wraps his arm around my waist as he brings the topic in.

This man.

Look at him behaving as if he is not holding me in front of many people. "Keep your hands off of me, Zander" Through gritted teeth, I mutter. But his grip around me tightens. And he slowly leans near my ear; "Repeat it and I might take my arm away" A whisper comes up.

Freak. He sure has weird sexual preferences. "Zander, satisfied?" Shooting a glare up at him, I repeat his name. The bizarre person must be me, doing as this devil says despite the fact that I hate all his requests. "My good girl" His dimples appear and he kisses my head.

Stunning me entirely to the point where my eyes widen. What the fuck was that for?! I glance around the area to assure no one witnessed the scene. However, all the eyes focus on us with agape mouths. I was too late to prevent them from seeing the view. Fuck.

"Are you insane?!" I hiss beneath a scowl. Getting away from his grip around my waist. "For you only" Zander mumbles. Please, someone get this flirty devil out of my life before I throw fists. He does whatever he wants without any care in the world. Unbothered one truly.

"Idiot"

I roll my eyes.
