Chapter 7: The Occasion

Adam Florenz's POV

All-day long, I have been miserable and out of focus as I was replying the last night's event. It was torture and also bliss. Oh, how I wished that our engagement would be different and that our marriage was not for the business pleasure of our parents.

"Florenz," the captain asked for me in his office. I was looking at the paper works before I sighed as I got out of my seat. I stretched a bit before I was walking by some of the female officers.

they were talking before they sensed that I was coming closer. I did not notice them when I already have the prize of the all.

Fauna Kent.

yes, call me a lovesick boy because I was. I think I was infuriated with her as I was looking, more like searching for familiar green eyes as I was looking into hers. It was never the same. One of the officers, Sarah has the same green eyes but their intensity was different. Sara was more like frosty forests whereas Fauna was hardcore Emeralds.

yup. I would have to prefer emeralds.

Then I knocked on the door as I was looking at my captain who was reading the newspaper and sipping on his morning coffee. I mean it was almost lunch but who cares.

"Sir, did you call for me?" I asked as I was getting inside before closing the door. When you were called specifically by the captain, it was wise to close the door before you both speak.

"Did you know that Lucia Ricci has been developing some sick hormones drugs and was passing them around?" He asked me as he put the mug down and slammed the newspaper on the table. I took a look and frowned at the headline.

'New Drug Test! Could it be solving the sexual dysfunctionality?' It started before I looked at the captain.

"I have a lead that all the victims that we found were positive with the trace of elements in the drug. I think it would be wise if we looked for the volunteers for these testing," I said as I was pointing at the newspaper. Captain nodded.

"Okay, you will take the lead and I will try to get the list for the testing from the FDA," he said as he went to make a phone call and I went out of the office.

I went back to my table before I pulled out the possible volunteers that I have enlisted from the victims. They all seem to have a pattern that Lucia would approve to get her test.

it was all-male, privileged and an heir to some sort of corporation. I don't think that was a coincidence. She was trying to find her next target if I would guess but I have to present proof before I can take this to another level.

the victims' faces were all over the files as I was trying to figure out. I think it would be sad to deliver the news to the family as I was looking at them. And I think I know that we have to do it at some point.

"Yo, someone was looking for you. Her name is Fauna," instantly my head jerked at the officer that was talking to me.

"Fauna?"

"yeah, she was by the entrance, I think she looks so pretty," he commented before I went to look in that direction. true, I never say someone's back that was so bare and was pure white, milky white. And the hair was glossy and wavy that I just wanted to run my fingers through it and smell it. I bet it smells nice.

my feet feel like I have a mind of its own. I was walking toward the maiden that was talking animatedly to the officer that was in front of the reception. I drew my fists at my side as I was scowling from the distance.

"hahaha! That's right. I remember him now," the officer said something as Fauna's laughter was filling the air. It was attracting the unwanted attention that I was trying to avoid from the station. Before I could curse under my breath, Fauna turned and I was blinded by her beauty.

her face, with minimal, makeup, was dewy and she was glowing. I don't know what the cause of it or perhaps she just got a new highlight in her hair that made her face even lovelier than before.

I looked at her bare shoulder as the green dress that she had one was clinging to her curves perfectly. I don't think I wanted to claim her right here right now in front of all this unmarried male that might get in our way.

"Hi," she said as she was smiling at me. I was still scowling before I went to her and I drew her nape in my hand before I slammed my lips against hers. It drew a gasp from her but I was claiming her lips.

she was stunned for a moment before her hands were pressing lightly against my chest before she was groaning in that kiss. Her arms went to my neck and drew me closer as I was holding her waist.

"Get a room!" Someone shouted before I can feel that Fauna was breaking the kiss.

"and hi to you too," I said as I was smirking at her. She was glaring at me before I smirked and my spirit was getting better.

Yup, much better.

Fauna Kent's POV

I cannot believe that my mum would send me to fetch Adam for lunch. I mean, I was skipping work to get away from him, not going to where he was working. I was scowling as I was walking toward the station as my mum dropped me off a couple of blocks over. It was sunny but the chill was still there.

I was pulling at my cardigan that my mother insisted me to put it on before I was taking my walk. For once, I think I was glad that I listened to her. It was chilly at the moment.

"hi," I said as I was looking at the receptionist, an officer. He had a big smile on his face as he stood up when I walked in. It was warm so I have to take my cardigan off.

"Fauna?"

"yes?" I said as I was looking at him. He seems familiar but I don't remember where.

"Hey, it's me, Dean. We were in Calculus together during high school," he said as he was looking at me. Dean, Dean, Dean? oh, that Dean.

he was one of the superstars during my high school years and I have a little crush on him as well. But that completely turned off when he did not do good to the stray dogs and cats.

"How are you? I mean you look great by the way. So what are you doing here?" He said as he was leaning against the counter as I was standing there, don't want to get any closer.

"Have you seen Adam?" I asked him. He was knotting his eyebrows together.

"Adam? You mean Lieutenant Florenz?" He asked me. I arched my eyebrow at him.

"oh, he got an upgrade. The captain likes him," he said as he was looking at me now when I felt his hot gaze as I was searching for him.

"I can call him if you want,"

"that would be great, thanks," I said to him as he told one of the officers to get Lieutenant Florenz.

"that's Kenny. Do you remember him? He was the one that played quarterback in the football back in our high school,"

"Kenny? Oh, the one that was crowned the Homecoming King?"

Dean nodded. I smiled as I remembered him as well.

"hahaha! That's right. I remember him now," I said before I felt familiar body heat was coming from behind me. I turned around to see that Adam was scowling as he eyed me and Dean. My heart fluttered at his sight as I was saying hello to him.

"Hi,"

And that was all it began. He grabbed my neck and kissed me, claiming me that he was the only one that will be kissing me alone and no one will come between us. Then someone was shouting to get a room before I have to break it off.

"and hi to you too," he said as he was smirking at me. I was glaring at him as I was trying to forget his lips lingered on me just now. I think he would be the death of me if I let him have his ways.

"mother sent me to ask if you wanted to have lunch with me," I said as I was licking my lower lips. The sense of his lips stayed. He smirked at me as he was rubbing my lower lips with his thumb.

"hmm, I thought you were too weak to go to work but yet you are here to have a lunch date with me. Are you faking your sickness, my dear?" He asked me as he was caressing my cheeks. His hand was doing wonders as I was trying to get away from him.

"It was my mother. She wanted us to have this date," I hissed at him, whispering so that no one can tell that I was arguing with him. He chuckled.

"well, if your mother said so, who am I to argue?" He said as he went to grab me by the waist and went outside the door.

"Thank you for your service, Dean. I will take it from here," he said as we walked into the chilly air as I shuddered.

"here," Adam said as he was putting on my cardigan before he pulled off his jacket and gave it to me.

it was nice as it still has his heat and his masculine scent. It smells of wood and musk. I think I might get drown if I ever sleep in his jacket.

"better?" He asked. I just simply nodded.

"Good, now let's go get our lunch," he said as he was opening the door of his sleek Audi car and I got in. He jogged to the driver seat before got in and went out of the road to get some food.
