The Billionaire’s Playmate

I never expected this to happen in my life. I already have a meal on my plate, and I’m about to have another right in front of me. Just kidding.

I really didn’t see this coming that Rozzean would invite me to eat with him. This is the first time I’ll be facing this man while eating, in a dimly lit room, just the two of us. Actually, the atmosphere is quite… romantic.

What’s going on, Thaliana? It’s only been a week, but your feelings for your boss have already changed. Your heart flutters when he gets close. You questioned your decisions, and… your heart is not beating normally when he’s closer. Like right no!

I glanced at him but when he I noticed that he was going to look at me, I bow my head.

“What did Maki say to you earlier?” and that was an unexpected question.

My spoon, with a scoop of rice on it that I was about to put on my mouth was paused mid-air. I looked at Rozzean, and his eyes were locked on mine, serious and direct. It seems he’s still thinking about what happened earlier.

I gulped before answering. “He didn’t say anything, sir–”

“Did he tell you that he’ll take you away from me if I was being too harsh on you? Did he?”

I almost choked after I heard his words. E-Excuse me, sir?! t-take me away from you? what are we?

“Or did he ask you to transfer to his house and resign from working here in my house?”

So, this is the reason why he is not in the mood? he doesn’t want to lose me… his maid, of course. Let’s not assume things.

“Sir, your friend is not that kind of person, I think–”

“And now you are defending him on me? you just me him.”

I tried to hold back my smile. From the way he sounds now, his eyebrows furrowed and his jaw tightening, it’s like he’s feeling jealous of what Maki did earlier. Don’t assume, Thaliana! Why does he need to bring it up? It’s making the chances of him being jealous even higher.

But because I’m in a good mood, I’ll tease him for a bit.

“Not really, sir,” I replied with a smile. “But for me, if I were to be kicked out of your house, well, I have a backup plan with Sir Maki’s offer. I’d have a job already, it’s good that he offered me ans–”

I stopped talking when he stood up. His sharp eyes looked at me. I took a sip of water when I saw his expression. Damn. The monster inside him is awake. It seems like he’s not in the mood for jokes.

“I told you I won’t kick you out,” his words are heavy.

I suddenly remembered his one rule. Okay, I’ll repeat it since he didn’t answer Maki’s question earlier. I put down the glass I was holding and stood up as well. I met his menacing eyes.

“Sir, maybe you forget one of your rules in this house, which often results in your maids getting fired. It’s not allowed…” I approached him.

“… to have a crush…” and I got closer, “on you.” I raised an eyebrow, then I shrugged.

“But what if I do like you, sir?” I noticed him swallow.

“I wil be get kicked out of your house. It’s not impossible to happen to not like if I stay here for a while. After all, you’re handsome, rich, smart in your job, and single.”

I wanted to add that he had a jumbo hotdog that seemed like it could make me scream in bed, delicious hard abs, and lips that looked kissable, but of course, that would be too embarrassing.

“Well, sir, you’re the kind of man women like me fantasize about. Manang mentioned that our beautiful, sexy, and intelligent neighbor also has a crush on you. So, what about someone like me?

What would you say, Rozzean? Alright, what’s your response if I were to actually have a crush on you?

“You can’t be certain I won’t fall for you, sir,” I lowered my voice, trying to sound seductive and convincing.

“So, if that happens, and you kicked me out of here, I have a house to go to right away. Sir Maki is nice, too,” I briefly averted my eyes in another direction. “He is funny, he always smile and he is approachable.”

I looked back again at Rozzean and give him a wide smile, “I think he’ll be a good boss… in the future.”

He was just looking at me. I added more praise for my ass cousin.

“By the way, he’s also considerate, said goodbye when he left earlier, and he repeatedly complimented my cooking. He’s nice, sir. It seems like I won’t have a hard time getting along with him if–”

But my sentence were cut and I was surprised when Rozzean took a step closer. Now, he was the one approaching me with a serious expression. I suddenly got nervous, and by the look on his face, it seemed like he didn’t like what I had just said. All of it.

Did I say something wrong? I’m not provoking him, right? Why does he look angry?

He’s getting really close to me now, and I’m seriously nervous. I mean, his gaze is intimidating, and I just backed up against the wall behind me.

“S-Sir?” I asked, my voice trembling. As I felt the situation getting dangerous, I tried to retreat!

“Sir, d-don’t worry, I won’t have a crush on you, hehe. I’m just teasing you. You’re not my type, trust me, I won’t like you, I promise,” I said, raising my right hand.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“N-Never!”

With the nerouvs I was feeling, the corner of his lips lifted.

“Really?” he said in a deep voice.

He placed his right hand against the wall next to my head. I briefly glanced at it, and when I looked back at him, he was wearing a different kind of smile.

“With all the things you said about me – handsome, sexy, rich, and intelligent – you described me well, lady. And now you’re telling me not to worry because you won’t like me?”

He moved closer, his voice lowering, and his breath tickling my face.

“That you won’t fall for me?”

And now, how did we end up in this situation?

Rozzean was pinning me against the wall!

I swallowed… hard. It seems like I just lit the fire that’s going to burn me. W-What have I gotten myself into?!

That is because you talk too much, Thaliana!

“S-Sir… what do you mean?” I asked.

But instead of an answer to my question, I looked down at my waist when I felt his hand there. My eyes widened. While his right hand was still against the wall next to my head, his left hand was on my waist.

He pulled me closer to him, making me gasp.

This was unexpected!

What the hell, Rozzean?

He smirked and lowered his head. His face was only inches away from mine. What is he up to now?!

“The way you describe Maki and indirectly compared him to me pissed me off, woman.”

What the hell?

“H-Huh?”

When I tried to push him away, he tightened his grip on my waist. He wasn’t content with just one hand. Now bth of his hands were on my waist, and damn, I could feel his thing!

My heart was pounding loudly. I felt like my hands were getting cold because of what Rozzean was doing. Because of his body pressing against mine.

“S-Sir, this is not good, c-can you let me go?”

My face and ears suddenly turned hot. I felt like I was about to have a fever because of the heat I felt with the way things were going. Is he joking with me? Or can he not accept what I said about not having a crush on him, despite the fact that so many women are crazy about him?

“You already have plans if ever you leave my house,” he tilted his head slightly. He looked away from me for a moment, then when he turned back, he lowered his face.

I couldn’t believe what he was doing now. Is he drunk? Did he get drunk from the drinks he had earlier?

T-That might be the reason because this is not him!

“A-Are you drunk, sir? Y-You’re joking, right?” I laughed, “but you won’t get me with this, I know you are just toying me,” I said, lightly tapping his hand that was on my waist, trying to move it away, but it didn’t budge.

Sht.

“I am not. I won’t get drunk from just beer, Tali.” As he spoke, I could really smell his breath!

Damn, we were so close to each other. Even if you dropped a coin in the space between us, it wouldn’t fall because my chest was pressed against his. Sht, Rozzean, I’m going home. Why do you have to make me feel this way?

What is this feeling I’m experiencing?

I tried pushing him again. But he was as firm as… my head lower a bit, the thing I felt in my lower abdomen.

He’s turned on! He’s f*cking hard!

I will keep on cursing because this is not a dream anymore! We may not be kissing, but this scene never crossed my mind!

I tried to push him again, but he just tightened his grip. When he leaned his head towards my neck, my hair stood on end. I felt his nose briefly touch below my ear.

What the hell? after those words, now, he’s sniffing me! I suddenly remembered what he said to Maki earlier about the smell of the model. Rozzean has a sensitive sense of smell.

I quickly moved away because maybe I don’t smell good even though I just took a shower. But when I distanced myself, Rozzean chased my neck.

What is happening to him?

I’m getting flustered, feeling a mix of emotions because of what he’s doing.

“Sir, your rules, alright?! I don’t want to be kicked out of this house, and you’re getting too close to me! It’s no wonder your maids fell for you; you’re seducing them!” I said directly.

My heart skipped a beat when his hands went to my back. He held me tightly as if he didn’t want to let go.

“I was never this close to any woman…”

I paused when I heard what he whispered. He continued to sniff me, and I could feel his lips brushing against my neck. I am in danger.

My throat went dry; I never thought he would get this close to me again.

“Damn, you smell good.”
