on, Xavier,” she
confidently declared. “I’ll make you go crazy over me, until you’ll
want me like you have never wanted anyone else in your
life.”
Geezzz… was that her speaking? Even
her own voice sounded strange to her. It was embarrassing to talk
to a man like this, but she hid her embarrassment, for it wouldn’t
bring her good. She had to be a completely different person, at
least today.
She’d never talked in a sexual manner
with a man before. She was raised in a modest household, and she
wasn’t really the type of a lady who’s fixated with the opposite
sex. Instead, she loved spending her time studying her lessons. She
got even more dedicated to her studies after her mother died. She
was taking up Law, and her ceiling high reading materials ate most
of her time.
She had male friends and
acquaintances, but she only shared a platonic relationship with a
limited number of the male population. But she was a different
person today. She wasn’t an inexperienced, innocent, never been
touched, never been kissed, demure woman. Today, she was a sex
goddess, a nymphet who could turn on any man, especially this hot
billionaire who must marry her, by hook or by crook.
She willed all her guts to back her
up, and bravely fought his intimidating stare. Instinctively, she
ran her tongue over her lips, initially, just to draw moisture, but
she could see the sinister effect it brought to him.
His eyes riveted at her lips. She saw
something flickered in his eyes – a huge fireball of desire that
made her palms sweat even more, but it vanished the moment she took
a blink.
“ Okay, hun, do your moves.
Turn me on,” he whispered softly in a thickening accent.
And the air inside the
fully-air-conditioned office became humid. She felt as if she broke
a sweat or two. Her heartbeat was thudding heavily against her
chest, her insides wanted to churn. Geezzz, what had she gotten
herself into with? This was absolutely crazy!
“ I’m waiting, Katrina…” he
whispered with a hint of impatience in his throaty
voice.
She jumped to her feet. The last thing
that she wanted was to aggravate her only ticket to solve her
family’s dilemma. She was here to impress him, and not to make him
wait.
With shaking knees, she stood up. Her
heartbeat was erratic, but she tried her best to remain calm and
composed. She placed her bag on the table, while drawing a long,
deep breath. Then, she slowly but confidently approached
him.
He was sitting comfortably in his
swivel chair, looking like a hedonistic patriarch.
It’s now or never at
all , she told herself. This was the make or
break moment. And she better had to give her best to make it, and
not to break her only chance to get her family out of their
predicament.
Images of her sick father, her sister
dropping out of school, and their about to be forfeited farm,
flashed in her mind. And those were more than enough to give her
the courage to do something that she had never done before - seduce
a man. An extraordinary man. A man like Xavier Yuchengco –
billionaire extraordinaire, stuff of every woman’s desire, and the
only man who could make her stomach flutter.
Chapter 10
Xavier held his
breath as he looked at her, as she
walked slowly towards him. Blood was coursing through his
veins, pounding in excitement as it filled his bloodstream in a
rushing speed. He had never been so excited like this all his
life.
His eyes riveted on her. He wanted to
capture every bit of her – her face, her body, her movements, and
just even a tiny, trivial thing about her. And he just couldn’t
take her eyes off her. He was completely smitten.
Katrina had an amazing gracefulness as
she swayed her wide, full hips, as she approached him in a manner
that made the heavy thudding in his chest became an intense
earthquake. She was looking at him straight in the eyes, but behind
the facade of boldness that she bravely put on, he could sense that
she was quite shy, but there was something in her
