It has been officially eight days since I was shot and to put it lightly, I still felt crummy! My back ached from laying down, my side burned like a son of a bachelor, and my head was pounding.

"Sir!" I yelled in an attempt of getting my dear employer's attention.

I soon hear footsteps outside my door and I turn my head in expectation toward it. Opening the door Mr Ambrose invites himself in.

"What is so important enough for you to drag me away from my work. Remember, Knowledge is power is time is money." He states as if I didn't know what he meant by that.

"Yes Sir, I know." I roll me eyes and continue "Do you happen to have anything to soothe the remaining effects of getting shot."

"Do tell me what these remaining effects are Mr Linton for I have not been shot before." He asks.

"Well for starters, my head is pounding and I feel a bit nauseous." I look away from his eyes and just stare down at my nails. They are in dire need of a cutting maybe once I get back home Ella will clip them.

"I don't got any cure for that." Sighing I look back up at him "But I can make it better." After the words came out of his mouth a thought of him and I passed through my brain. A very inappropriate thought involving him making it 'better'.

"So what are you going to do to make it better?" I couldn't hide the sarcasm in my voice. Even I didn't have hopes of him making it better, what is he going to do? Look at me until I freeze into a iceberg.

He didn't answer me but instead walked out the room. What the bloody hell! I thought he was going to help me.

I lay in bed muttering curses at him until he comes back a few minutes later carrying a cup full of steaming liquid.

"What is that?" I eye the cup suspiciously.

He puts the cup by me and looks at me expectantly. I look to him then back to the cup utterly confused.

Fed up with me Mr Ambrose rudely says, "Well aren't you going to drink the damn thing?" Oh! He must really be annoyed to start cursing.

"No. Not unless you tell me what it is." I'm not going to put up with his attitude, it's quite frankly rubbing me the wrong way.

"All it is Mr Linton is some tea to help with your nausea. Nothing less nothing more."

Feeling stupid I pick up the drink and sniff it. Gagging I pull it back and glare at him.

"I'm not going to drink that, it smells horrible!"

Mr Ambrose sends me a cold look and his eyes narrow a little bit.

"Yes you are. It'll help with your nausea, I don't want you throwing up all over my bed. If you ruin my sheets I'll deduct it from your cheque."

"I don't care! I don't want to drink it, it's not like you can force me to Mr Ambrose." I shouldn't have said that because in that same second there was a hint of determination in his eyes but it was gone too soon for me to decipher what it meant.

"Oh really?" Mr Ambrose then moves so quickly that I didn't see what he was going to do until it was too late. Mr Ambrose had pinned me down by my wrists and now he was leaning over my body with his face directly over mine. My heart starts pounding when I feel his warm breath against my face.

"Are you going to drink it now Mr Linton" he asks.

Forgetting about his closeness I look into his eyes and say...

"No"

He leans closer until his mouth is just a few inches away from mine.

"What about now?" He moves his head so that he is now speaking into my ear. I can't help but shiver.

"N-no" I stutter. What is wrong with me!

"Oh really?" He then slams his lips onto mine and starts moving them hungrily against mine. I freeze not knowing what to do until I feel him start pulling away. He is not getting away that fast! I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him down until his lips are back on mine. Our lips fought for dominance but his won and I surrendered to him.

Soon I start feeling his hands sliding farther down my body until they reach my lower back and when he gets there he pulls me even tighter against him.

A flare of pain shoots down to my side and as much as I wanted him to continue I had to pull away. My breathing was erratic when we separated but when I looked at him he looked perfectly fine aside from his swollen lips and slightly tousled hair from when I ran my fingers through it. That's not fair!

Quickly moving away from me he says, "My apologies Mr Linton, that won't happen again."

Still in a daze from what happened a few minutes ago I look at him and ask.

"Why?" As soon as the words leave my mouth I regret them instantly.

I look more closely at his eyes and his eyes look like the ocean during a storm. Dark and merciless.

"Because it is highly inappropriate for a employer to be doing these types of things with his employees especially since they are" Mr Ambrose then lowers his voice "female."

I then remember the type of situation I'm in. I just kissed my hard headed, cold hearted, egotistical son of bachelor, employer and I liked it. Feeling ashamed of myself I swallow my pride down and look directly into his eyes.

"I understand Sir." Why does it physically hurt me to agree with Mr Ambrose.

"Adequate. Now drink the tea that I have prepared for you." Taking another step back he straighten out his suit and walked out of the room leaving me with my thoughts and a very disgusting drink.

Who does he think he is! Telling me what to do, I am Lillian Linton and I do not let any man control me.

Then why did you let a man control you with his lips

I let out a strangled groan. Shut up you stupid conscious!

While I was sitting in bed I wondered if the tea would actually help my nausea and possibly my head ache, giving it a chance I pinched my nose and drank the tea.

The tea didn't taste as bad as I thought it would but soon my vision started swaying and my head felt very heavy.

What was in that drink? I think Mr Ambrose lied when he said it would help my nausea because it was only making me sleepy.

Did he drug me?

I was about to beat Mr Ambrose from drugging me but I was already sleeping like a baby before I had a chance.
