82 This Knife is Dangerous

Daryn went to the office but got sucked in so many urgent meetings that he didn't have the time to look up. At the same time Dawn wrote her new article for the newspaper. After sending the article, she checked her inbox. It had two emails from the journalist that stated one thing: 

[Dear DW,

Your column has become very popular and we would like to meet you. If possible we would like to hire you as our permanent finance expert. There are many emails in our office, which ask us about your identity. Please let us know if we can introduce you to the public as our permanent finance columnist. 

Sincerely,

Daniel Hugh]

Dawn was ecstatic that they offered her a job, but now wasn't the time to reveal her identity as their finance editor. She had other plans in mind. She wrote the reply back:

[Dear Sir,

Thank you for considering me. I will let you know in a few days. 

Warm Regards,

DW]

She rubbed her hands with excitement. Her plan was falling in place. She checked upon her emails regarding the company and only one formality was supposed to be provided. She emailed the necessary documents. She was too tired by the end of it and went out to make lunch. 

She missed Daryn's presence already. He looked like a ghost in the morning and she hoped he was fine now. She sent him a text message, 

[Hope you are feeling well.]

There was no reply. She thought that perhaps he was busy with his office work, so she didn't bother and walked to the kitchen. She had chopped the vegetable and meat in order to prepare stew, when she heard the main door opening. She called out, "Cole, you have to wait for another one hour for lunch. And how come you are so early today? Have you bunked the classes?" 

"I have bunked the office," came a soft reply. 

Dawn spun around sharply only to find Daryn leaning on the frame of the door with his arms across his chest and his right leg crossed over his left. He had run home the moment he saw her message.

She hadn't expected him to come so soon. Wearing denim shorts and a tube top with a pushup bra, she looked hot with a spatula in one hand and knife in the other. Her belly button showed and Daryn's eyes popped out. They traced her right from her belly button to her cleavage. Dirty thought started pouring in his mind and his wolf went crazy. She kept the spatula on the countertop, smiled at him, placed her right hand on her waist and said, "I am sorry but lunch isn't ready." Yes, she knew that she was seducing him. She couldn't help it. He was irresistible. This man affected her at every level. The way he looked at her made her wolf growl. 

Daryn's body was flushed with heat. His breathing accelerated. This girl was gonna be his death. He somehow nodded. 

Suddenly Dawn felt his fingers on her spine. He brushed them from top to bottom. It sent shivers down to her muscles and she hoped he would spank her more. 

"Are you trying to seduce me Ms. Dawn?"

She stiffened. He grabbed her waist from behind and stroked her all the way up from her cleavage to her belly button. "I don't need to," she whispered. 

The oil in the frying pan crackled. Daryn switched off the flame. He picked her up from behind and made her sit on the island of the kitchen. "This knife is dangerous," he said and took it from her only to throw it aside. He spread her legs and stood in between them. "Do you even know that I couldn't sleep yesterday night?" He kissed her exposed breasts one at a time and then buried his nose in the cleavage. He brought his hungry mouth lower and bit her taut nipples over her top. 

She moaned and curled her hands in his hair. He opened the buttons of her short and slowly traced his fingers to her clit, which was swollen and craving for attention. He pressed it hard over the panties and she groaned as her juices flowed out. Daryn grabbed her mouth as she moaned and moaned and he continued to press and rub her clit until she exploded and came. She had curled her legs around him tightly. When she was spent, her head lolled over his shoulder. Her hands traced his jeans and she was about to open his zipper when he said, "No, I want to make it special." He kissed her lips passionately. Mine forever. He pulled her against his body and she let out a tiny gasp. 

She loved being so intimately handled by him. She felt his warm lips grazing her neck, and her face was flushed. She mustered enough courage to look at him. His black eyes gleamed.

She looked beautiful with that sexy expression on her face.

Soon a loud voice disturbed their reverie. "Dawn, I got my grades today!" Cole rushed to find her. He tracked her to the kitchen and she looked odd. Her face was red. She was vehemently chopping the chopped vegetables. "What are you doing?" he asked with bewilderment as his eyebrows lowered. "At that rate, you would make minced meat of the vegetables!" He noticed that Daryn was checking his phone on the other side of the island table. Even his face was deep red. What was going on? Cole held Dawn's hand, pulled her out of the kitchen and took her to his room. "Are you mad?" he scolded her in a low voice. "We are going to leave this place soon. Don't get yourself into any jeopardy, okay?" 

"Okay!" 

"Now go and make food, while I call that man to play a game with me." 

Little did Cole know that Daryn's ears had picked up everything he just said. 

Daryn shook his head. This boy needed another diversion.

In the next two days, Dawn's company was registered officially. Her blog had exploded with traffic. The two of them couldn't do anything to each other since Cole would always come home in time even though Daryn would come home at the drop of a hat. He made it a point to keep his whereabouts secret so that Maya didn't sniff him out. 

Reyna was getting irritated by the number of meetings that she had to cancel and reschedule. Maya had called Reyna about Dawn, but she didn't know where Dawn was. It irked Maya all the more and she sent her people to find her everywhere. She called Irene and asked her to print the interview in the fashion magazine about her depression. Its next edition was due in two days.

For the next two days, Dawn had to travel a little, which Daryn allowed only if she agreed to go out with the security personnel. It was on the second day that Dawn was coming out of the court when her eyes fell on the display screen of the opposite building. Maya's picture was splashed across the board with the headlines, "Depressed Fiancé of The Silver House CEO". The subheading said, "The wedding is postponed." There was a sudden tightness in her chest and her mood ruined as negativity seeped in her body. She gulped her tears as the car drove her back to The Silver Arcade.
