Chapter 2. Addicted to My Scent

Aesthetic’s POV:

“Hurry up!” I almost jumped off when he demanded it. His voice is like a deep hole, wherein you’ll be curious of what’s hidden inside. My hands are both sweaty while my knees are trembling slightly. As if one wrong move, and I’ll be swimming on the floor.

I’m trying to be calm and not think about negativities, but the hell? How can I not think about them, when I know that I offended the boss earlier? We’re currently on the top floor, walking towards his office. During my time working here, I haven’t got the chance to even step on the top floor of the building, but how unlucky am I to be here for a punishment?

“We’ve arrived, Mr. President. I’ll be on my way to deal with what you told me yesterday” the man in white said. In front of me is my handsome boss and his personal assistant, I guess? He’s quite tall, but the boss is taller. He has this gentle voice and overwhelming aura. More preferable than the other rude man on his side. Though the boss is still more gorgeous than him, I like the assistant’s personality better.

“Call me after the investigation, Red. I want every single detail. Got it?” The so-called Red replied “yes” and then bowed his head to show respect. I stared at him and noticed that he’s actually cute. With his tantalizing eyes and thin lips. 

“Goodbye miss…” He formally said as if we knew each other. I couldn’t stop myself from blushing when he smiled at me with those hypnotizing eyes. I snapped out of all my imaginations when I heard someone groan.

“Get inside, young lady!” He exclaimed with a deep manly voice. I witnessed how his eyebrows furrowed and his Adam’s apple moved. I straightened my back and slowly walked inside his office. My heart skipped a beat when he slammed the door that made my eyes blink for a second.

“Now, where were we?” He asked sarcastically, heading to the sofa. My jaw almost dropped after seeing what his office is like. It seems ordinary from the outside, but it’s actually bigger than my house on the inside. 

Some well-known paintings are hanging on pure white walls. The curtains are black. There are three doors, maybe one of them leads to the comfort room, and the other is an unknown room. There’s even a luxurious sofa set at the center while the President’s table is near the windows.

I moved my gaze and saw a double door refrigerator at the very back of this room. Did I get it right? Is this even considered as an office? I would love to live here if there’s a chance. This is like a five-star hotel.

Because of too much excitement, I ran towards a huge window to see what it looked like outside. I touched glass with my hand, and my eyes were filled with a pure stupefying amazement. Watching how the world defines beauty, I felt a warm hand touching my heart. I don’t know why, but looking how beautiful the outside was made me satisfied.

“Stay still…” My body froze after hearing those gentle yet dangerously spoken words. My breath became limited when I felt a dark presence at my back. “Don’t move, or else…” He whispered and paused for a while. A tingling sensation ran through my system when I felt that he was sniffing my hair, down to my bare neck. It felt weird and his gestures were quite confusing.

“You’ll suffer the consequences…” He added with a smirk. One of his hands captured my fingers touching the glass window, while the other one was holding my waist tightly. I didn’t know what to do or feel. It seemed that he was out of his mind.

“Your scent…” He murmured. “Your scent is so damn good…” I panicked when he touched my neck softly. A nameless voltage of electricity traveled down my spine, as if he was teasing me. He slowly swayed my messy hair out of my shoulders and buried his face on my neck that made me freeze.

“W-what do y-you want to d-do?” I asked trying to stay composed, but I failed. I stuttered while saying it. I looked at the glass again and realized that I could see his reflection there. He’s taking his time to smell my scent while his dimmed eyes are gazing at me, coldly.

“I like your scent, it makes me feel addicted…” He stated and crawled his fingers down to my lap. I can see how beautiful the clouds are, I can even sense the wind outside these huge windows.

I was stunned when I felt that he was gently licking my neck. A sudden heat occupied my body and numerous butterflies that were hidden in my stomach escaped. I was barely catching my breath because of these nameless emotions inside my heart. He automatically chained me using his arms and said, “ Now that I found you after hundreds of years searching for this scent, I will never let you go again. Never again!” He whispered near my right ear and bit it before releasing. “Sweetheart…” He added and hugged me tightly.
