After the eavesdropper, ahem, I mean, the butler left, Tanaga put the tray on the table before he gave Ashley a gla.s.s of refres.h.i.+ng drink.

"Drink this first before we continue our talk. I'm very concerned about your health. Please, tell me if you have any sickness that I need to know. This is really important to me since you are the mother of my future heir."

"None that I can recall since young, Sir. So far, only cough and colds."

While Ashley was speaking, Tanaga watched her with extreme seriousness. Actually, the young man didn't have any inkling on how to start a conversation about their s.e.xual relations.h.i.+p. So, he kept silent as he stared at her, which only added tension in the atmosphere.

A few more minutes pa.s.sed, and still, no one spoke a word. The grandfather's clock at the corner went *Tik Tak - Tik Tak* and was the only sound heard in the silent office. While the clock kept on ticking, Ashley's heart was beating along with it, making her unease. She ma.s.saged her chest, trying to relax and soothe it.

Unknown to her, that gesture of hers was one of the things that provoked Tanaga's ire when she was with him. By the time she did this, only one notion had come into Tanaga's mind, 'Ashley is terrified of me.'

At last, Tanaga decided to speak. "Okay! Let's talk about what's written in the contract that you have signed." His voice sounded annoyed, so Ashley gave her full attention to him.

"First, I need to know more about your personality. Second, I need to know if you have experience when it comes to s.e.x. Third, your family's hereditary diseases…" While Tanaga enumerated the list of essential information he needed from her side, Ashley was busy admiring the handsomeness of the young man in front of her. She felt as if only now, she realized how handsome Tanaga was.

None of what Tanaga said registered in her mind. Instead, she was trying to imagine how her hot and good-looking boss would look like if he were b.u.t.t-naked.

'Will his kisses be sweet? I want to experience those fiery kisses, unlike the one earlier. It was nothing but a slight brush.' She inwardly thought.

Her mind was far away, as her imagination was running wild. She didn't know Tanaga had stopped talking.

When Tanaga realized that she was not listening, he waved his hand in front of her face to confirm his suspicion.

"Ashley! Ashley!! H-e-l-l-o-o-o-o, Ashley!!!!?"

When she didn't reply, he stood up, slowly moved the table backward and sat on it. The young lady who seemed to be under an enchantment was now directly in front of him.

Again, he tried to get her attention, not with his hand this time. He moved his face right in front of her where their lips almost touched, as he softly called her name.

"Ashley… Earth to Ashley… Where are you? Am I the one you're thinking about? Ashley…?" Tanaga said like a doting lover sweetly calling her name, but the lady didn't reply and was still in a trance-like state.

At that very moment, Ashley's imagination was getting crazier and wilder by the minute.

She dreamed of Tanaga, adorably calling her name, and slowly coming near to kiss her. With this fancy scene playing in her mind, her lips moved, instigating Tanaga to kiss her…

That was why Ashley was extremely shocked when...

Tanaga's full lips caressed her alluring lips in a kiss. At first, he merely thought of teasing her, but this beautiful lady accepted his kiss with an openness of someone who wished for more. And that gave him the courage to get carried away with his innermost desires.
