15

The green crystals of my panther, which I have not been allowed to see for almost two weeks now, pierce and torment me with the desire that shapes them.

I missed him and I won't even try to deny it. I missed his voice, his smell and his presence and I long for his touch and his lips.

I never thought that he would just quit the partnership and that he did it makes me so happy. Apparently I mean as much to him as he does to me and that feeling is unlike any pick-me-up on earth.

My eyes travel over his beautiful, dominant and sexy appearance and I suck it in in case we get separated again.

His legs are slightly apart, his jacket is open and his right hand is in his pocket while the other is sliding through his hair, which resembles a lion's mane.

"I missed you," he begins, and I get goosebumps all over my body.

Maybe he was just as miserable as I was in the last few days?

"That could well be possible." I murmur and nervously make my way to the door. I feel him following me as he devours me with his eyes.

I missed watching him and admiring his beauty so much that I had to pull myself together not to pounce on Nate.

We get on the elevator and although several people fill the room with us, the sexual tension between us still seems to be there. People turn to us and look at us confused. One of the women with curly blond hair even gives Nate a lewd look while he just smiles crookedly and god, jealousy is boiling in my blood at 100 degrees Celsius.

Overcome by my envy, I grab Nathaniel's hand and put it on my waist to show this stupid bitch that he's mine. She immediately looks away and I ignore how Nate grins in my direction, savoring my possession.

The feeling of his hands on my body is just uniquely beautiful and I missed it so much.

Nate's hand slowly slides to my bottom, causing my blood to boil with excitement and pleasure.

As we finally step off the elevator, I notice Nate smile again at the blonde and the look I give him says everything I can't say because we're in public.

"I only want you, darling. You don't have to worry that I want others the same way I want you. Do you really think I've broken the relationship and asked your father's permission if I'm looking at other women besides you? could?" he says, his voice echoing in my head, giving me goosebumps; calms me deep down.

I look into his eyes and sigh wearily.

It's been a tough time without him and my heart aches for every second we spend apart.

My hands slide to his neck and I reach up to join our lips. My whole body reacts to the kiss and I feel my pulse racing, my stomach tightening and my chest getting lighter.

His lips seem to fit mine perfectly as our tongues dance hotly together and his hands claw at my waist, probably trying to hold himself back in some way or else he'd be fucking me unconscious right here on the floor.

It's been so long and I'm enjoying it way too much as Nate buries his teeth in my bottom lip and makes me moan.

"And I thought you didn't miss me," he gasps, totally out of breath and struggling for composure, just like me.

If he only knew how many times I was so close to just driving to his office and wanting to be fucked by him because I missed him so much.

"But that doesn't mean I've forgiven you, Panther." I murmur against his lips and look into those green crystals that have haunted my dreams.

"That's what I thought. Let me make it up to you with a beautiful day.", "What did you have in mind?" I ask and hand in hand we leave the building, followed by John who probably did the whole scene observed before we sat down in Nate's matte blue Bentley.

He pulls me very close and drapes my legs over his, running his large hands over my skin and I'm about to purr like a kitten when his fingers slide down the back of my neck and massage my scalp.

"We go to an animal festival together, have dinner afterwards and then we go to an opera in the evening. What do you think?" Nate replies and smiles dreamily at me.

My heart seems to blossom when his suggestion reaches me.

I casually told him at our first meal that I really like doing "normal" things like going to the zoo or museums, as it's a change from all the VIP hustle and bustle.

My chest warms because he has noticed and is now suggesting this trip.

he is so perfect

"That sounds great," I reply, totally excited, kissing his cheek with a sigh.

"Do you have to go back to the office now?" Nate asks me, fixing me with his green crystals and I nod petrified.

"See you tonight?" I reply when we arrive in front of my work building after a nearly twenty-minute drive.

Nate helps me out of the car and hugs me tightly while whispering, "I've only slept next to you once, but I miss you more than you can possibly imagine. If you're okay with that, I'll pick you up after work off and we'll go to my place."

I nod vigorously and wrap my arms around his neck before kissing him again.

"I'm going to tell my publicist to make us official again so you don't have to keep answering those annoying photographers intrusive questions." "Thanks. Umm - I have one more question, Nate," I mumble, pulling away by him.

"Ask any question that's on your mind, my butterfly.", "You're not involved with Claire anymore, are you? I read an article two weeks ago and-" his full lips interrupting my flow of words. I sigh into the kiss and enjoy the taste of my panther wetting my tongue.

"I belong to you from now on, only you. The only women with my last name are my mother, my sisters and my grandmother. Please don't worry about them anymore, okay?", "Okay. See you then.", mumble I hold his lips and go into the agency building.

I just hope that everything goes well from now on and that I don't have to struggle with unnecessary things that end up destroying me.
