31 Soft, naked, body

Was she really going to strip? He asked himself, but he didn't interrupt her, he just watched her keenly.

She held the hem of her dress and in an instant; she pulled it over her head;

Nicklaus was shocked to his spines. His heart skipped a beat.

Did she just remove her clothes, without even thinking twice?

The last time he asked her to strip, she had hesitated. Why was she so different now?

He was so shocked that he could not even speak; when he had asked her to strip, he never thought she would do it, but she had surprised him; he had no intention of touching her, so when he saw that she had pulled off her dress, leaving her with only a pair of lingerie as the only clothing on her body, he opened his lips to tell her to stop, but just when the words were about leaving his lips, he suddenly froze.

Tiana held the hooks of her bra and with a slight push she undid them. It made a soft sound as it touched the floor. Her eyes were staring straight at Nicklaus, and she slowly held the sides of her panties and pulled them down slowly, stepping out of them.

Nicklaus was dumbstruck; his eyes were fixated on her body, and he wasn't thinking straight anymore. The last time she had stripped in front of him, he had barely glanced at her because of how angry he had been earlier that day, but right now, he couldn't keep his eyes off her body.

She had the curves in the right places and her skin looked so soft, Nicklaus felt his throat tighten, he was suddenly getting hot. He had never felt this way towards a woman before. What was happening to him?

Tiana raised her hand slowly to her ponytail and eased the band; she shook her head lightly, letting her hair fall down her back;

"Mr. Nicklaus, should I go to the bed now? ''

Nicklaus lifted his eyes from her body and to her face, as he struggled to keep them there;

He swallowed hard as his palms fisted. The sweet smile on her face was not helping matters;

'Fuck! What spirit enchanted this woman? Has she always been this tempting?'

Nicklaus cursed in his head, as he struggled to keep his body in check;

Tiana was surprised by the little change in his countenance; the last time she had stripped in front of him, he had barely looked at her, now he couldn't even keep his eyes off her body, wasn't he gay?

Or was he bisexual?

BISEXUAL!

She panicked as the thought entered her head, but she did well to hide it. She had stripped in the first place without thinking twice because she knew that he would not touch her, but she did not think he might like both men and women. What if that was the case?

She prayed to all the gods of the earth and the creators above that he would not tell her to go lie on the bed, because she wasn't sure she would hold herself back from breaking his skull with the porcelain vase on the stool by his side if he did that.

Nicklaus stared at her expression for a moment, and he immediately pulled his eyes off her.

''Put your clothes back on and leave. ''

He said with an irritated tone; standing up, he walked to his fridge and took out a box of cigarettes; picking up the lighter on the stool, he lit a stick and placed it on his lips.

Tiana heaved the tiniest sigh of relief;

The last thing she ever wanted to imagine was his hands on her body; just the thought of it was nauseating.

Nicklaus puffed out smoke as he walked back into his room, leaving her in the parlor. His head in a mess; this was the first time he was clueless on what to do; that woman was shattering him to pieces.

It took him a great restraint to let her wear back her clothes, because fuck, she was sex on toes!

He had never been with a woman before, and seeing such a gorgeous sight, he nearly couldn't control himself.

What is she doing to me!

He was getting frustrated by the second. Then suddenly he heard her voice;

''When do I start work?''

Nicklaus froze; he slowly turned around to look at her,

She had put on her clothes and she had those bright blue eyes staring back at him;

'Was her voice always this sweet to the ears?'

Nicklaus asked himself.

On a closer look, his eyes traced down her face to her lips, and at that moment, she licked it sweetly;

His throat hitched;

Did she always have those sexy lips?

Realizing his thoughts, he immediately pulled his eyes away from her;

'Why was he paying attention to her looks now, was he the one crazy?'

Nicklaus dragged from his cigarette, trying to ease his tension.

''Tomorrow, and let me not be out before you, now get out!''

He commanded frustratingly and Tiana tiptoed diligently out of his room; as soon as the doors closed, Nicklaus clutched his hair infuriatingly.

He didn't like the way he was feeling… weak. He never felt weak; he had never lacked the right words to say. He had never been dumbfounded in his entire life!

Something had gone wrong somewhere!

Who is this woman!!

He thought he was concerned about her because of his family, but at that moment, he realized that that was not the case. It was a lot different from that!
