“seized the package ” Bart replied hastily .
“ How the fuck did he know I have got some package coming in for me ? Bart what the hell ? ” Harry rasps furiously agitated by the news she just heard .
“ Where are you ? ” Harry asks sitting up from the bed with the duvet covering his lower waist .
“ At the base Boss. ” Bart responds calmly
“ Should we —”
“ No do not track him , He can be very very dangerous . ” Harry interrupts his right hand man .
“ Noted boss . ” Bart replies before Harry hang the call .
“ Why are you getting off the bed ? ” Anne asks frowning her face immediately
“ Something came up Anne and it's really important . ” Harry said picking his briefs from the couch which lay beside the bed .
“ More important than I am ? ” she pressed further getting off the bed also . Her breasts dangled dangerously as she moved towards him .
“ Do not come any closer Anne. ” Harry warns to Anne's disbelief
“ Why should I not ? ” Anne inquires moving closer to him ignoring his warning .
She sways her hips in a bid to get his attention which she succeeded . She puts her index finger on his chest
“ Must you push me to do it the hard way ? ” Harry whispers pulling closer to himself , he leans closer and tilts his head kissing the side of her neck .
He brushed his tips of lips on the hollow part of her neck , she shivers yearning for more of his magical touch .
He places soft kisses and repeat this process until those spots was red as rose .
“ Do not stop Harry ”Anne says her hot breathe fanning his shoulders . He chuckles a little bit before moving away from Anne who hissed snapping her eyes open
“ Why did you stop ? ” she speer biting the corner of her left lip seductively .
“ I have to be somewhere Anne and it's really important. ” Harry reiterates , a statement which irritated Anne's ear .
“ You are going to meet her right ? ”
“ Something important and not her Anne . ” Harry responded putting on his properly ironed flower print short sleeved shirt and black cargo pants . He didn't receive any reply from her . he picked his sunglasses lying on the dressing table and put them on before pecking Anne good bye .
He was heading to D’embert Royale to challenge his father . This is a decision which he might regret or always do it again .

“ Wow ! Get going Joe. ” Mark utters slightly pushing Joe away
