"No, we didn't. But we are there in contact. I can call him whenever I need, but he is still busy, planning to kill David, thus I rarely approach him unless it's necessary.

nIn fact he has got a good network within the black circle. Thus it is easier for him to gather information as compared to our intelligence. Therefore I try not to disturb him, until and unless the situation is urgent.

" Markus said.

n

"It must be difficult for him to kill David. I have heard that the leaders of 3 black markets are not to be trifled with.

" Kizy said, knowing full well how dangerous it was to kill them on the basis of her personal experience with the professor.

n

"Yeah. But his hatred for David is greater than you can imagine. Anyways, leave that. We shouldn't be wasting time over this.

" Markus said, before closing in their distance, his face hovering above Kizy's.

nKizy looked at him with wide eyes, but he simply bent even more, his hot breath fanning her face.

nKizy instantly closed her eyes, knowing what was about to happen. Her heart started racing rapidly, while she could feel Markus leaning even more.

n

"Good night little lamb.

" Suddenly she heard Markus's raspy voice, and next minute he was gone.

nShe opened her eyes only to see Markus, supporting his head with his hand resting on bed, his all so familiar devilish smirk pasted on his face.

nAnd finally Kizy knew what was happening. Markus had once again teased her successfully.

nShe humphed before turning her back to Markus, her cheeks puffed up.

n

"You want something little lamb? I already told you, just say and you will have whatever you want.

" Markus said, giggling at the end.

n

"I don't want anything!!

" Kizy exclaimed, frustration visible in her voice.

n

"Are you sure?

" Markus teased again.

nAnd the next moment, Markus found himself being straddled by Kizy, surprised at her bravery.

n

"I know what I want.

" Kizy said.

nHer voice was sweet, in fact way too sweet, but Markus found that intoxicating. Something he wanted to hear once again, and one more time, or maybe keep hearing forever.

nKizy said before leaning down, her hands moving towards Markus's collar, opening the first two buttons in a quick pace.

nShe immediately leaned, kissing Markus above his collarbone before biting him hard on the same area.

nBut Markus was finding it difficult to control himself. Though Kizy was biting him really hard, Markus could feel the effect her bite was having within his body.

nOnce Kizy was done biting him, she moved a little up, and kissed Adam's apple, making Markus groan while his eyes closed due to the sudden pleasure.

nKizy took her sweet time kissing it with as much sensation as she could, making Markus groan once again.

nOnce she thought this was enough, she moved even more upward, her face directly above Markus's, something that Markus could feel even with his eyes closed.

n

"Good night my devil.

" Kizy said in her seductive voice and rolled back to her own side, chuckling loudly.

n

"You… you just-

" Markus said, frustration apparent in his voice.

nHe instantly pulled Kizy back to his side, leaning his face towards her, wanting more.

n

"No. You should know how this feels.

" Kizy said, hellbent to not let Markus have his way.

n

"But I know what I want. And I act accordingly. But you on the other hand are the exact opposite. I just want you to do what you want.

nLook, if you want a kiss, you could just come and kiss me. You don't have to wait for an opportunity where I will kiss you.

nJust ask or do what you want. And let me make one thing clear. I truly love it when you take initiatives. You have always been a leader Kizy, someone who takes the lead. It is okay to be shy, but never when you want something. Is that clear?

" Markus said, his voice serious.

nKizy just nodded at him, not knowing what else she was supposed to do.

n

"Now sleep.

" Markus said before gently kissing her forehead, embracing her while drifting off to sleep.

n*11 AM, TWO WEEKS LATER, STARDUST OFFICE*

nMarkus was sitting inside his office, going through a business project when the door swung open.

n

"Shouldn't you knock bef-

" Markus was speaking in an irritated voice when he suddenly stopped after looking at the person who entered.

n

"Miss Athena you can't barge insid-

" and the person was followed by a barely breathing Joel, knowing he was late in stopping the woman who was already standing in his boss's office.

n

"Hello Markus, long time no see.

" Athena, dressed in a bright red body hugging outfit entered, her high heels making click clack noise wherever she went, completely ignoring the poor Joel behind her.

n

"Miss Athena Bartley. What brings you here this early in the morning?

" Markus said, composing himself immediately, before speaking, specifically stressing on her name which he had called out formally to show how distant he was with her.

nBut Athena wasn't affected at all. She simply took her seat before turning behind, finally looking at Joel.

n

"You can leave-

" Athena said.

n

"No you stay!

" Markus immediately spoke up even before Athena could complete her statement.

n

"I am here to discuss our contract. Why do we need him?

" Athena asked, her tone showing her dislike for Markus's decision.

n

"I need him! All my company matters are handled by him. No matter how small or big a decision the company makes, I always ask for his opinion and follow his advice!

" Markus said, making Joel freeze in his place.

n'Me and important? My a$$! How come I never knew about this?

nBoss I know you don't like Miss Athena even one percent, but you don't have to lie on such big scales to avoid her presence.' The poor frozen statue - Joel thought, not knowing whether he should laugh or cry.

n

"Pfft! Your skills have been deteriorating nowadays. At least you were good at coming up with some reasonable excuse back then.

" Athena said, giggling a little.
