He was too close and it was too silent. The red light has stopped blinking. But the elevator showed no signs of moving.

I was feeling suffocated.

First in this elevator and then in his embrace.

I didn't want to let him see me cry. These tears are considered to be a weakness and I was anything but weak.

Staying still, with his arms locked in front of my waist and his chest pressed to my back.

I speak calmly while clenching my fists. Making sure my voice doesn't waver.

" Let me go Mr Kingston."

The silence prolonged. With him doing nothing to respond. And when I was going to repeat my words,  I felt his chin dip in my neck .

His grey eyes catch my widened  teary brown ones in the mirror and I lower my eyes immediately.

His hot breath trails my neck making goosebumps to appear on my skin, sniffing my hair he speaks lowly in my ear.And I freeze

" Did I make you cry, Princess?"

My heart beats out of my chest at his words and involuntarily more tears sting my eyes.

Did he follow me for this? To make fun of my pains? To micj my tears.

Grinding my teeth. I seethe at him with redefined anger.

" What do you want Mr Kingston? Just let me go!"

I thrash this time and he only tightens his grip around me more. Rubbing his nose up and down my jawline.

He seemed to be struggling himself.

His breaths uneven.

" It's late. Let me drop you."

"I won't be able to sleep till I know you are safe and taken care of."

I scoff at his words in disbelief. Is he serious?Looking at his face through the mirror in the elevator I speak while rolling my eyes.

" Last I checked you are not my Dad Mr Kingston."

" Let go! Now!"

His jaw hardened and a strange darkness stormed in his eyes. Gulping, I feel my hands sweating.

If there was anyone in my place, I bet they would have pissed in their pants.

The man looked hell scary.

" Don't meddle with my devils Ms Rose. I can bet an angel like you won't be able to handle even a tinge of them."

Clenching my fist and lifting up my head. I reply with a coldness matching his.

" I never said I was an angel ,Mr Kingston."

And with this I put to use the 4 years of combat I learned for self defence. Gripping his wrists, I climb two steps up the wall of the elevator to push him back. Breaking free of his grip.

His back hits the elevator door behind, not expecting this. And I get back on my feet to turn the tables.

Placing my elbow near his throat,I pin him to the wall this time.

He stared at me blankly, no expression decipherable.

And even I thought he will look scared. He instead smirks at me.

His eyes trailing lower to stare at my lips that were opening and closing, owing to my uneven breaths .

And I feel a strange twist in my belly.

What the hell is wrong with this man?

" So my Princess is actually a lioness? I must say I am impressed."

I was not getting swoon by any of his words. Tightening my grip I shout at him in impatience. Feeling suffocated here

" Just shut your trap dammit! Enough now! Open this damn elevator."

He again looks lower at my lips, not saying anything. His eyes darkening .

" Eyes up here, Sir"

The words Sir sounded like a mockery and he only sighs. Meeting my eyes finally.

" You look too damn sexy when you are angry, Princess."

My eyes widened at his words and that uneasiness in between my legs worsened, taking advantage of my distracted state.

He grabs my wrists to push me on the mirror in the elevator.
The impact was missing as he softened it by placing his other palm just where my forehead was going to hit the mirror.

Pinning my hands above my head. He pins his huge frame behind me.Making my chest to press against the mirror.

My clevage becomes visible in the mirror, my cheeks were burning red and my hair chevelled.

His eyes didn't miss anything.

Trailing from my clevage, taking his time to scrutinize everything.

He seemed to be enjoying this position.

And I was hating it. I was too vulnerable. To weak and helpless.

Our eyes clashing.

When he smirks to whisper in my ear.

" Now that's how a lioness would look like."

To be honest for me, it was making me look like a mouse caught in a lion's grip instead . And I cry in desperation this time.

These foreign feelings in my belly, making me wish to do anything to just from here.

" Ahh...Vic-"

My words die down as I feel his fingers trailing lower from my waist to my thigh . And I look at his face in the mirror in horror.

He didn't look at me.

Too busy, sniffing my hair. His chin was dipped in my neck.

When suddenly, he rests his huge hand on my ass and I gasp. Earning a smirk from him.

A wetness pools between my legs. Suddenly, making my legs too weak .

" I am sorry but you have to work harder for this...."

And with this he pulls out the note I took  from him, back. Sliding it in his own.

"I earned it! It's mi-"

Breathing near my ear. He speaks

" It's not yours till the end of the month. No employee can leave before a probation of 1 month atleast."

" Your resignation stands null, Princess"

Is this man bi polar! Didn't he just...

" But you just fired me!"

Letting me go completely. He leans back on the wall. Adjusting his tie. To stand straight.

" You will be working at the lower level for next 1 month."

" No more special treatment."

I furrow my brows. Sending daggers at him. Pointing my finger at his chest.

" Listen mister! You can't black mail me like that! I seriously thought you were a nice man but they are always right! Your kind is the worst!"

" I didn't even sign-"

" You did Ms Rose. Unfortunately you signed two contracts without reading."

" One was the real contrat which requires you to work for 1 month atleast. And the other was....well you already know about that."

Stepping closer. He adjusts his tie. A victorious grin lingering on his lips .

" The choice is yours now."

" You want to work here for 1 month in the other department or...."

Looking down at my body, he smirks with a raised eyebrows.

" You want to warm my bed as a se-"

" Stop! Shut it! Fine! Whatever!"

I says placing my palms on my ear. And he steps back. Nodding.

He presses a button and suddenly the door pings and he steps out .

Not before stopping to look back at me one last time. His tone suddenly going into that serious octave.

All humor gone.

" My driver will take you home ."

He leaves with the staff bowing at him, making way for him. Treating him like he is a damn king and I just stamp my foot irritated.

Cursing his back!

So much for thinking he was a good man. If not good he is the worse! Two faces bastard.

Picking up my bag I was going to exit when I catch my red blushing face in the mirror and only one word striked my mind.

Stupid!

I was so stupid to feel those weird things! He planned this and he actually got successful!

.
.

When suddenly an ideas strikes my mind and I smirk. 1  month . Probation huh?

Let's see how you tolerate me here when I get on my best behaviour.

Note the sarcasm.

Just wait and watch Victor Kingston. You will  bow at me and beg me to leave in coming  few days.

Not to forget,with my full salary and a hefty bonus.
