The Grand Mistress

Chapter 5 - Honey-colored Eyes

Hawk followed the girl and after a few minutes of chasing, he found her reveling in the beauty of the dappled moonlight on one of the hotel's balconies, overlooking a beautiful garden that breathed out a fragrance of spring night scented with blossoms.

"Earlier you were concerned that I might ruin your pretty little engagement party...yet here you are" The girl uttered without glancing at her pursuer as if her eyes were hypnotized by the moon. Her lips formed a smile, very much pleased with the man's presence. ??

Either curiosity or passion had dragged Hawk into following her, the girl still felt a little victory knowing that Feather was left out and was probably wondering by now where the heck was her fiancée. Besides, didn't they say Hawk was hard to catch? Seeing how that same man fall into her schemes easily made a quiet smirk on her pretty face.

"Little engagement party?" A frown marred at Hawk's exquisite facial features because of the girl's shallow remark "You, my lady is hurting my feelings,"

"Oh, why?" She turned to him and dug to the man's perfect set of grey eyes before she chuckled. Her laugh was magical. "Does it hurt your ego to know that a simple guest like me considers the grandest engagement party of Hawk Monsanto only as a little boring one?"

"So you know me," There was some delight that ran into Hawk's spine when she mentioned his name. His eyes that were marveling at the girl's pretty face traveled and wandered down to her curves and all he could do was swallow a mouthful when his insides cringed.

The girl obviously saw how her companion feasted on her body but instead of feeling harassed, she let him. She stood still in her gown feeling proud of how she was making him feel. If this was several days ago, she would slap the man in the same kind of situation—but that was before she made plans of seducing him.

There was a little voice inside the girl that said she should run away before she gets burned with the fire she willingly lighted up, yet her stubbornness and determination made her want to finish what she started.

"I know who I want," She replied in a tone rather seductive and impudently surveyed the man from head to foot and in a way that had Hawk's inside tremble.

"And you want me?" He asked in a daring tone. He was making things clear and so he won't end up blaming misinterpretations later on.

"Yes" Without a doubt she answered as if the man was some kind of prize she can easily win over. When he heard her unfaltering intention, something inside Lee hawk wanted to step back and reconfigure his system. His desire should only be exclusive to Feather, the girl he had always wanted all these years, and take note, that girl was out there occupied with entertaining their visitors while Hawk's evil self was under the control of another woman.

Before he could completely forget his engagement, Hawk tried with all the reasons he could probably use against himself to stop his own madness. "I'm sorry to tell you that—"

Hawk was not able to finish his words because right then and in a deceptively casual move, the girl took one step forward so that her hips were pressed against Hawk's hard thigh and her face close to his. The girl's lips that were waiting to be ravished whispered into his ears.

"Tell me what my dear?

Goosebumps rose on Hawk's flesh as the girl's breath tickled his ears. "I promised you I will let you have a taste, didn't I?"

Hawk's breathing picked up slightly and the pulse point at his neck thumped faster. He swallowed a mouthful at the thought of the girl's promise but instead of giving in, his own rationality gave one last shot of defense.

"Who are you?" Hawk managed to ask between his ragged breath.

"That depends on who you want me to be," The girl uttered and for the first time, Hawk saw her upturned honey-colored eyes. Looking into it was like drowning yourself into something magical, something hypnotizing and very much irresistible that when the girl tiptoed to meet his lips, he willingly lowered his head to welcome her. And he was right there, opening his mouth for her—warm and wet—giving everything he must give and was kissing her back with equal ardor. The girl wrapped her arms around his neck, and he responded by pressing the girl's body closer, the fiancee forgotten.

However, when Hawk was at the point of wanting more, the girl pulled away and Hawk opened his eyes bewildered onto her sudden retreat. He was gasping for air and would very much like to pull her back to finish the bliss she had started. But she only smiled at him, feeling very empowered by the fact that the M Conglomerate's President had already fallen into her trap.

"What's the matter?" He asked, confused as to what made her stop.

"Nothing," Her smile widened a little more, making her face bright and goddess-like and Hawk became more defenseless with that. "It's just that I only want you to have a free taste. The next of course comes with a big price,"

That was the last thing she said before walked away, leaving Hawk feeling like a fool.

"President," Lucas stepped in and joined Hawk as he watched the mysterious girl leaving. He had seen everything and cannot decide whether to be angry or be sad about it. "Miss Han is—"

"I know Lucas," Hawk simply said, eyes still fixated on the place where the mysterious girl disappeared. "I'll go to her now"
