Chapter 2

Danika Williams

It was a tiring day, I was on the ramp all day, with those hot lights blasting on my face and high heels which I think were invented to murder feet. I just wanted to go home, shower and have sex with Henry.

Henry wasn’t my friend or my boyfriend. He was a guy I have sex with sometimes when I am not dating anyone. He is totally gorgeous but unfortunately he is a dolt. You can’t have a normal conversation with him, his IQ is that low. But its good sex, also he just leaves after we are done so I don’t have to worry about getting rid of him like some other guys.

This worked well with Landon, neither of us liked to cuddle or talk after sex. I used to leave immediately after we were done because I needed my own bed. Landon had a lot of problems in his life and we never connected so I never bothered asking him. Until he dumped me because my mother made me say some things to him so that our relationship would get serious.

As much as I hated to admit it, I called Henry to come over for a drink right after I met Jake Carson. I don’t know why but the way Jake talked to me, turned me on. His presence, his aura and everything about him screamed good boy but his demeanor changed in front of me. My heart thumps against my ribcage when I think of him.

My so called friends who have had a crush on Jake, kept telling how he is a gentleman and that he never loses his temper. I can’t believe not even 5 minutes in conversation with me, he lost his temper.

Danika, you have to see him tomorrow.

I remind myself as I open the door to my empty condo but scream when I see a person sitting in my living room, thinking it's my stalker but...

Jake Carson.

“What the fuck are you doing here?” I ask him with gritted teeth as I set my bags down on the counter. I can’t believe this. He is already here.

“Wow, here I thought you’d be nice to me after our meeting this morning but I guess it’s going to take some time to teach you how to behave like a decent human being.” He says as he heads towards my kitchen and I follow him like I am lost in my own home.

“Why are you in such casual clothes?” I ask him as I try not to stare at his bulging biceps visible to me because of his sleeveless tank. He wasn’t wearing his bodyguard clothes. It was like he lived here or something.

“Oh I have to follow fashion rules at your house too?” He asks and chuckles at his own joke before grabbing water from the refrigerator and walking out to the living room again.

“Okay stop walking around!” I yell but he doesn’t stop, he sits on the living room couch and motions me to sit in front of him.

Professional, my ass.

“Where is your suit?” I ask him and raise my eyebrows to show him that I won’t tolerate jokes. It was already difficult to breathe with his big muscular biceps in view. When will Henry arrive?

“Do you sleep in your ramp gown?” He asks me with the same annoyingly sweet smile plastered across his god like handsome face.

“No, I don’t, what is your point?” I asked irritated as to why he wasn’t getting to the point.

“That this is my sleeping attire Ms. Williams, you might have forgotten that I live with you now.” I felt anger surge in me as he said that in his sweet tone.

“Yes I know that, but you need to go downstairs and sleep in the servants quarter.” I say and impatiently tap my foot, to make him hurry. I don’t want him to see Henry.

“I would but I don’t work for you-“

“Oh god, this again-“ I groan and was about to yell at him but he just stands up after setting down his water. I gulp as he stands close to me, I can smell his delicious manly scent and it was driving me crazy. I look up to his eyes, which were staring back at me and I feel like our breathing was in sync.

Okay, I am the only one who feel this sexual tension?

“Ms. Williams, I felt bad after talking to you rudely today, so I thought we’ll have a fresh start but I guess that just doesn’t sit right with you now does it? I guess you only understand when I am rude to you. So listen to me for the once and for all, I don’t work for you, I am going to work with you. There will be consequences if you misbehave and don’t listen. I will be staying right next to your room for your own safety. Do you understand me?” He asked me as his body towered over me like I am some sort of kid. I hated the way he was making me feel.

How am I going to sleep when I know this irritating hunk is right next door?

I didn’t want to agree, I wanted to scream and yell, ask him who he thinks he is to boss me around but right now, I felt intimidated. My heart was beating at the rate of 150 probably. I am sure if he tries to hear it, he will.

“Fine, but can you go inside your room, I have someone coming over!” I roll my eyes as I try to make him go away as Henry would be here any minute.

“Oh right, your friend Henry, I sent him away. Till the time I screen all of your friends and colleagues, you can’t meet anyone. You can never know who is sending these threats.” I felt as if my head is about to implode as he said those words. I felt like I was a child again, where my mom controlled me.

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me! No, I refuse to listen to such stupid rules, this is my house. I am calling him over and you better be in your room when he comes here.” I warn him, stepping closer to him and raising my eyebrows to show him that I was dead serious.

“You can call him but I will just send him packing, again.” He says arrogantly and I’ve had enough of him. I lunged at him to hit him but I lost my balance and I fell on the couch on top of him. I could feel the warmth of his body on mine. I knew that if we had met in any other situation and I didn’t hate his guts, I would’ve been all over him.

Oh no, this isn’t good!

His hands snaked around my waist as I felt his washboard abs against me. I try to move but he doesn’t let me, “Wow, you really have an anger problem, don’t you?” He asked in his deep raspy voice which sent jolts straight to my core.

God, I need sex.

“Let go of me!” I struggle against him by pushing his chest but that didn’t seem to make an impact. I hated how much I liked being in this position with him. I felt like burying my face in my hands after I heard how breathy my voice sounded and by the look on his face he knew that he had an effect on me.

“Apologize.” He ordered as his grip on me tightened like he had the right to touch me and I just stared at him in disbelief, “You need to learn how to apologize, princess. You have been nothing but rude to me and now you tried to hit me. All I am trying to do is protect you.” He explained slowly like he’s talking to a baby.

I kicked and struggled to get out, but he held me in place with his hands on my waist. But suddenly he lets me go. I look at him and he was staring at my face, looking a bit embarrassed. I looked down to see that my breasts were almost out because I was wearing a loose top.

I quickly got up and straightened my outfit, I was too embarrassed now to shout at him.

“I am sorry.” I hear him say as I storm out of the room. As soon as I close the door, I hold my hand to my chest as I try to breathe properly. That man is too hot and nice for his own good. I know for a fact that if it was some other man, he would have tried something or made a sleazy comment. I haven’t had a great experience with men in my life.

But not Jake Carson.

He got embarrassed and let go of me immediately. I didn’t see his eyes divert down even for a second. Maybe I am being too bitchy. He also apologized immediately but I am still mad at him for sending Henry back without my permission. How am I supposed to function when there is an Adonis outside, monitoring my every step?

I was about to get up from the floor and take a shower when my phone rang, I pulled it out and groaned.

Mom.

“Hello Mom.”

“How have you been dear? I am guessing you probably have a headache, now that you haven’t eaten the entire day? So now I feel like you can eat a fruit or something. But remember I am still mad about you causing that breakup with Landon. Can you imagine the amount of money you would have had by now.”

“I have money. I don’t need his money.” I tell her quietly, I didn’t like anyone paying for me. I earn my own money, I can pay for my own stuff.

“Pish posh, you think you are going to look like that forever, as soon as your beauty fades, you will stop earning money, so better settle down with a man with a good reputation and money. Lucky for you I found a man who is enchanted by your looks. Richard Walts.” My mom said and I almost choked on my own spit.

“Richard Walts, you can’t be serious! He is like a 100 years old. Ew.” I said loudly, no, I couldn’t do it. I don’t really care about money.

“Danika! He is hitting 52 this year.” My mom said strictly, “He is a prince, he has a lot of money, and do you know what this could mean for us? I am setting up a date and –“

This is it! I can’t take this anymore, this is where I draw a line.

“No, absolutely not. I am not going, mom! Also I did eat food today, my usual diet plus a chocolate donut. Bye mom.” I cut the call immediately before she could say something to me because I was scared. I can’t believe I actually told my mother off for the first time. What the hell is going on?

Jake Carson.

He is messing with my head. Usually I am so reserved and I think a hundred times before I say something to my mom. But today, I had no filter, I just said what was in my mind because my mind is occupied and fuzzy.

I don’t know what I am going to do when my mom calls or comes to visit. I have no clue how I will stand up to her. I can’t imagine how she is going to punish me for-

My thoughts were broken when I heard a rustle behind my curtains. My eyes widened as I continued to stare and froze in my place.

This is it, this is how I am going to die.
