Chapter 4

• "Please Brandon no!" She even grabbed his arm to stop him.
• He turned to her. His eyes were spitting fire. His lips were a thin line.
• "He is my cousin's friend! You can't hit him!" her voice was shaking from panic.
• She was ready to say and do anything to stop him hitting Lander. She didn’t want any scene. She had been avoiding such situations but Brandon’s expression wasn’t encouraging. He was even breathing irregularly from anger. She needed to do or say something before he smacks Lander.
• "I will do anything! Just don’t hurt him. I don’t want my cousin to get mad at me!” she said desperately.
• Then she saw his eyes glinted and his brows creased.
• "Anything?" he asked in a raspy voice.
• Her eyes narrowed. She wanted to take back what she said but she couldn’t. It was true that she didn’t want any rift between her and Andrew since Lander was his best friend. But the way Brandon is looking at her now and that tone of his voice, she was having cold feet. He was now smirking. She removed her hand from his arm.
• "Anything but sex!" she hissed.
• His smirk became broader and she gritted her teeth. The look on the perv’s face was really something she should worry about. He looked like he won the lottery. She turned her head where Lei was a while ago. She almost sighed in relief when she didn’t see her.She didn’t trust Brandon and the words that would come out of his mouth. She would die of embarrassment in case someone would hear.
• He pulled her by her waist then lowered his head to say in a husky voice, "Are you sure baby? You will do anything?”
• Though she wanted to say no, she nodded. His touch was sending shivers down her spine. One of his hands was rubbing her back which caused her to have goosebumps. His other hand cradled her face.
• "As I said awhile ago, I will do anything exept sex!” she said thourgh clenched teeth. She wanted to clump her lips because she thought he wanted to kiss her again.
• His lips twitched to one corner which made her want to let out a groan. He was really a walking temptation! She felt her gem and her nipples were reacting again!
• Take a hold of yourself Olivia! Is not having a boyfriend for a long time made you really lose your mind? Are you really attracted to this pervert? How pathetic! She scolded herself.
• She would start dating men from tomorrow. She had a lot of suitors but because of what Xander did to her and the other men who pursued her in the past. All the guys who had been asking her for a date were good-looking and had stable jobs. Brandon might be way richer and good-looking than them, she was better off with any of them. Brandon might be famous, have very hot looks and filty but she won’t ever want to be his woman. She didn’t want to be with someone like him. A womanizer and had no scruples in getting what and who he wanted. But her forehead creased when she remembered that he told her no other men could go near her. She almost groaned when she felt his warm and pleasant breath fanned her face. She was lost in her thoughts and hadn’t realized that their faces and bodies were very close now.
• "You and your buddy are alike eh? You don’t even choose the time and place to act disgustingly!?" she said sarcastically when she felt his arousal between them.
• He chuckled without breaking the stare.
• "Contrary to what you think baby, my buddy doesn’t react to just any female. But you are a different story. It hardens when I see or smell you. Much more when we are this close. So just say yes so it won’t be disappointed. My buddy never wanted any woman so much until now.The mere sight of you makes it throb." he whispered.
• "Is sex what you always think about? You seem to be talking about nothng else but sex! The level of your lust is something else!" she hissed.
• He ignored her and instead moved his face closer to hers. Their lips were almost touching.
• "I won't smack that photographer but you will let me kiss you. And you are not going with him! We will go to lunch together! " he said sounding firm.
• She turned her head to the other side to avoid his kiss. She felt she couldn’t do it. The way he sounded made her feel that he was not talking about a simple kiss. Having lunch with him didn’t sound as scary as the kiss he was talking about.
• "Let me go! I can’t breathe!” she complained and tried to push him from her.
• She was lying of course. She just wanted a space between them because she couldn’t think clearly in that position. She was glad that at least he did let her go immediately.
• "Listen baby. I won't do anything you won't like. And I promise that we won't go all the way without your go signal." he said.
• She almost cursed at him. What did he think? That she was excited to have his hands all over her? She was about to voice her protest but they heard footsteps. It could be Lander.
• She hurriedly whispered, “ Do what we talked about!”
• He winked and smirked. "Scouts honor.” He replied and he raised his right hand and crossed his fingers
• “I will do what I told you and you would do the same baby,” he added in a serious voice. His expression became serious too.
• She pushed him away from her. But before he totally released her, he gave her lips a quick but firm kiss. When he released her, she quickly put a distrance between them. The footsepes were nearer. And a few seconds later, Lander appeared.
• "Liv?" his brows creased when he realized that she wasn’t alone.
• She was thankful that the distance between her and Brandon was far enough. She didn’t want Lander to realize that Brandon had just kissed her before he came into view.
• Brandon clenched his fists which were on his sides when he saw the other man’s face. He was pleasant looking and though the bastard looked surprised when he saw them, he seemed to be really glad to see Olivia. The trash and Olivia deemed to be almost the same age. He on the other hand was already thirty three and he was ten years older than her but he didn’t care. Their age gap didn't matter. But seeing another man who was nearer Olivia’s age and who was obviously very interested in her, really pissed him big time. Slowly, he felt heat ffrom his neck was going up to his face but had to control his anger. He promised Olivia that he would stay cool. He tore his eyes from Lander to look at her.
• "Have I kept you waiting Lander? I’m sorry. Mr. Lopez and I were discussing about work. I did the photo shoot with him,” Olivia said to Lander. She was smiling.
• Brandon didn’t like that she was smiling at the Lander but he shut his mouth. This would be the last time that he would allow her to smile to *ssholes. He would tell her that later.
• "No I just came in. So are you ready to go?” he asked Olivia and he was looking at her intensely.
• Brandon gritted his teeth. He had to leave them for a while before he would lose his control.
• "I will wait for you outside baby. Don't forget what we talked about,” he reminded her while his eyes came back to Lander.
• Olivia almost grunted. What Brandon just said and how he said it sounded threatening. Lander knitted his brows and looked at Brandon. Much as Olivia didn’t want to transfer her eyes at Brandon, she had no choice. She wanted to glare at him and say something sarcastic because he used his endearment for her in front of Lander. But when she saw his face, she just chose to shut her mouth. He had a scowl as he glowered at Andrew’s friend. Slowly, his narrowed eyes went to her.
• He leaned towards her, without touching her , he whispered in her left ear in a very cold voice , " Don't let him touch you...or else..."
• After a few seconds, he straightened then transferred his eyes to Lander again, "Be out in three minutes baby. I hate waiting." He was talking to her but his eyes were on Lander.
• She stayed silent but she would definitely talk to him later. He finally turned and left with a straight back. She could sense that his muscles were tensed. She knew he was doing his best to control his anger. It was kind of awkward between her and Lander after Brandon left.
• " I didn't know you were an item." Lander commented. He looked poker-faced but his tone is a little cold.
• She let out a light laugh. "Of course not! He calls all women baby," she lied.
• "I know what I saw Liv," He added but he shook his head after he realized what he said. He now looked apologetic.
• "Sorry. I didn't mean to sound as if I am prying. But from what he sai, I reckon that you are going out with him? Does that mean that our lunch is cancelled?" he asked disappointedly.
• She circled her lips with her tongue. " S-Sorry but it slipped my mind. We have a briefing with Graciella and the designer. We can re-schedule our lunch.”
• He heaved a sigh and in a sad tone said, " Okay. That’s no problem, Liv.”
• She smiled apologetically again before asking him to walk with her to the door. She checked her watch then walked ahead of him. Their three minutes was almost over. Knowing Brandon, she was worried that he might cause a scene if they won’t come out immediately.
• When she was almost near the door, it was flung open and Brandon stepped in. His face was wooden as he glared at them.
• "I will call you Liv." Lander whispered so Brandon won’t hear.
• She just nodded and turned her head to him. He released a small smile before he left. He even nodded his head at Brandon but the latter just continued glowering at him. She almost rolled her eyes. When Lander closed the door behind him. Brandon pulled her by her arm and e leaned her back on the wall.
• Before she could react, he said," Time to claim my kiss!"
• He pinned her hands above her head as he pushed his tongue inside her mouth. He was really an expert in the art of kissing that felt felt lost. One advantage of him being a manwhore was he was a great kisser. His kissed were making her lose her mind. The movement of his tongue inside her mouth caused her legs to wobble. If her back wasn’t against the wall and Brandon wasn’t holding her, she would have probably been on the floor already. Her legs felt like jelly.
• Frigid my ass Olivia! She scolded herself when she couldn't help but let out a moan.
• He was rubbing his body against hers and it was really a shock that her body could only react to him. She was dead meat! Her body’s reaction was ruining her sensible thinking.
• Brandon was kissing Olivia as if he really couldn't get enough of her. He had tasted a lot of women's mouths but she had the softest lips and the sweetest saliva . His desire for her was sky-high. He would have her very soon. He didn’'t think that he would last longer without possessing her. He would totally lose it if he had to wait for long.
• "You are driving me crazy baby...." he murmured when he removed his lips from hers for a few seconds.
• "Opps sorry!” the voice sounded like the make-up artist’s.
• "Go out and close the door!” he ordered Lei without turning his head to look at her.
• He saw Olivia’s mouth slightly open to say something but he kissed her again without caring of Lei’s presence.
• Olivia just heard the door closed while Brandon was still devouring her sweet mouth. She was wishing hard that Lei wouldn’t tell anyone. But she doubted it. News spread like fire. When Brandon finally tore his lips from hers, they were swollen and numb. She pushed him from her.
• "You took advantage again!”
• He just let out a sneer. He touched his own lips with his index finger as his eyes were on her. He seemed to be savoring the kiss they shared.
• "I like kissing you so much baby and honestly, I can kiss you forever. But I want to do something more satisfying to you. Much more satisfying than just kissing your sweet lips," He said throatily which made her raise a brow.
• "Excuse me?! We had a deal that it would just be a kiss! Actually what you did was more than that! " she accused.
• He didn’t reply. He was just looking at her with a naughty smile on his lips.
• ***
• However hard Brandon tried to convince her to ride in his car, she refused. She drove herself to the restaurant. She didn’t want to leave her car. Besides she had to do some grocery shopping after their lunch and before their briefing . She didn’t want to bring him to the grocery with her. His female fans would flock to them. She didn’t want and needed that. She was surprised to see Graciella Ignacio with the designer of AFC already in the restaurant and talking to Brandon . They probably arrived at the same time. She on the other hand had to find an ATM machine. Now they were all seated around the table. She found out that Brandon asked Graciella to have the briefing earlier since he would have an emergency meeting with one of his business partners so he won’t be able to come to the AFC office after, She was curious abut what kind of business he was talking about. They were probably all monkey business anyway. She told herself that soon , she will get information about those.
• The designer was explaining about the clothes they would wear for the shoot while the waiter was serving their appetizer. All was going well though she was sitting next to Mr. Pervert. But she spoke too soon. After a while, she almost dropped the glass she was holding. She felt Brandon's warm hand on her thigh. She was in a skirt which was above her knee. She darted him an angry look but hi eyes were on Graciella. He was pretending of course that he wasn’t doing something disgusting under the table. The other woman was talking about the new concept her husband wanted to have with the new ads for their products. Discreetly, she tried to remove his hand on er thigh but his hand tightened.
• "So how was the shoot with Brandon, Liv?" Graciella asked her.
• "It was okay." she replied expressionlessly while trying to appear poker-faced.
• She pinched his hand but it was useless. Heis hand went higher. She gritted her teeth. With one more small movement, he would be touching her most private part,
• "Did you already tell her Brandon?" Denny’s wife asked the pervert next to her.
• "Tell me what?"she asked with a creased forehead. She looked at Graciella and then at Brandon. Her frown deepened.
• Brandon had his eyes on her. As usual, he was staring intensely at her which made her worried. She was nervous. She had only met him recently but she perfectly knew what his intense look meant.
• "I haven't." he told Graciella but his eyes were never leaving hers. He was now rubbing her upper thigh gently.
• She tore her eyes from him to look at the other woman. If she didn’t do that, she would throw the liquid in her glass at him.
• "Since we are expanding the business even in the US, Brandon agreed to be our business partner. He agreed with a partnership between AFC and Sport It Up which specializes in sports gear and wear. He owns it." the other woman revealed, "So you see Liv, Brandon is now your boss too."
• She bit her lower lip to stop herself from groaning. Her heart was already thumping though her brain hadn’t yet fully absorbed everything. She was perfectly aware of the consequences of what Graciella just said. And she was in deep shit. Slowly, she transferred her eyes to Brandon. She swallowed when he smiled knowingly at her. She felt his hand squeezed her thigh. She cursed him inside her head.
• Good luck Liv! She told herself.
