The Barrier

Blake POV
Last night,she bit her lips everytime she talked to me.I realized how the rhythm of her breathing changed as I touched her.She was playing hard to get.That's what I liked.Her body was amazing.Since she stepped inside my house,the whole place was filled with her beautiful fragrance and somehow it made me feel weak.
Those beautiful eyes,the perfectly brunette hair and her flawless skin.I liked her bossy attitude and how she wasn't afraid of anything.Everytime she talked back to me,I had to resist the urge of pushing her to my bed and ruining her precious flower.
I gulped slowly.It has been quite a while since I've felt this kind of attraction towards a woman.
This kind of lust was deadly.
When Claude said,he got ahold of Joseph's daughter,I thought it might be a six or seven year old child but I never imagined that a pig like Joseph had the most beautiful woman in the world as his daughter.Then,I realized he was an old scumbag.
"Good morning." She said as she pulled the chair and sat beside me instead of sitting on so many empty chairs.
She grabbed a serving out of the plate.
"Is this the time you wake up?" I asked.
"It's 10 am.It's really early,Alaric." She whispered.
"I woke up at 5, Desdemona." I replied.l
"Why?" She asked.
"Because I am a man with a routine." I replied.
"You wake up because you have a business.I don't have any business so I can sleep all I want." She said as her head dropped on my shoulder.A shudder seized me as I felt her touch on me.
"Des,eat your breakfast." I said.
"I am eating." She said as she grabbed another serving from my plate.
"Not my breakfast,your breakfast." I said as I served the food on her plate.
"Sharing is caring,Blake." She replied.I stared at her with sheer dissatisfaction.
"Damn,I thought you were friendly.I am sorry." She moved from beside me and sat quite a bit far away from me.Again,I had to resist the urge of grabbing her wrist and pulling her close to my chest while feeding her the food myself.I didn't mean to hurt her.
"Des,you can eat from my plate.I-" I was flabbergasted.I moved from my chair and sat beside her.
For some reason I didn't want her to be scared of me.
"I am not inhospitable.I want you to feel comfortable with me." I said.She didn't look at me.She was devouring her food just the way I wanted to devour her.
Control.
She was ignoring me.This little girl surely had a lot of ego.
"Des." I called her again.
"Des,look at me." I said but again,no response.
I grabbed a serving and moved it to her mouth.She smiled and ate it.
"You can read people too." She laughed.
"Seems like you are not the only one." I replied.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" She asked.I was stunned upon that question.
"No." I replied.
"Why?" She asked.
"I want a woman to love,not for lust." I replied.
"Thoughtful,but I thought a person like you would have one night stands every week." She laughed.
"Sometimes,but not that frequent and let's talk about something else." I said.
"Why? Are you shy?" She giggled at me.
"No, Des.Why are you so interested in these things?" I asked.
"Because...you seem so lonely and you are so nice." She said and put her hands on mine.
"Maybe I can..." She whispered.
"No,Des." I stood up immediately before she could say something.
"Don't say anything." I replied and walked to my room,leaving her alone.
That seductively innocent face lingered around my mind.Something was wrong.
Last night,I kept thinking about her until I fell asleep.
I felt and attraction towards her which was getting stronger every time I saw her.
I had a rule which I have been sincere to since a very long time.
It was not to sleep with woman I am interested in.
Truth be told,I have never felt a stronger attraction towards anyone like I am feeling about her.
This is the reason I cannot sleep with her.
Judging by her behaviour,she is desperate for lust.I realized it the first time I saw her and she was very experienced in this field.
She was also very sensitive,meaning,she was very easily hurt.
Hours passed by.I couldn't get out of the room.I couldn't face her after hurting her like this.
I looked at the window.It was dusk and dark.
After finishing my cigar,I finally decided to face her.
She wasn't in the living room or dining room.I stood in front of her room.
Should I?
I walked inside her room.She was standing in the balcony.Maybe she was enjoying the cold weather.
"Des..." I whispered from behind.She looked at me.
"Look, man.I don't know what your deal is.I just want to go home." She said.
"I told you.I can't let you go." I replied.Not until Joseph gives me the money.
"You are really weird.Is something wrong with you?" She asked.
"No,I am sorry.You have to understand some things.I didn't mean to hurt you." I said.
"Blake,I think you have been alone for really long and maybe that's why you feel like this.You didn't hurt me.It's alright to create wall from everyone else but you are damaging yourself." She said.Her hair blew with the aggressive wind.
I didn't understand how she managed to look so sexy without even trying.
I needed to create a barrier between us or else things will escalate.
