He continued sucking onto her lips while his tongue explored every corner of her mouth, stealing her breath away.

Stella was getting dizzier with every second that was passing by. She couldn't hold her breath in anymore and tapped Adam on his shoulder. Getting the signal, Adam reluctantly let go of her lips, grazing her lower lip with his teeth one last time. Taking deep breaths, he rested his forehead on hers, his eyes closed as he tried to control his desire to have more of her.

Stella could still feel his arms wrapped around her while trying to calm down her erratic heart.

"What are you doing to me?" She heard him asking her.

Adam looked down at her as she opened her eyes to look at him. He was utterly mesmerized by how she looked right now in his arms. Her tiny face was completely flushed, her hazel eyes looked a bit glassy now due to the tears she had in them, those luscious pink lips were slightly swollen because of his torture. She was a sight to behold.

He placed a hand on her flushed cheek, caressing it with tenderness while the other was still wrapped around her lean waist.

"Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?" He said breaking the silence that was engulfing the meeting room, making her blush.

"I should get going now." She spoke meekly.

Adam only replied with a nod stepping to the side. He helped her get down and made her sit on a chair. "I am going to go now but you won't leave for the next ten minutes." He said in a firm voice. "I don't want anyone to see you, when you look this much appealing."

He passed her a water bottle after uncapping it. He headed out after giving her one last look. It wasn't a good idea to stay alone with her in the meeting room, he had no choice but to leave first.

He drowned himself in paperwork and emails and the day went by. Later in the evening, he headed out of his office after grabbing his phone and car keys. When he was on his way to her office, he heard someone arguing, he turned in the direction where the voices were coming from. He was curious as to who might be the owner. Nobody was supposed to be in the entire building at this hour besides security.

In the secretariat cubicles, a man of average height, dressed in a light brown business suit was arguing with someone. His line of sight shifted towards the other person, making his blood boil in anger. He was arguing with his little elf.

'Who the hell does he think he is to shout at my little elf and that too in my own office?' Adam thought.

Their voices becoming clearer as he walked towards them.

"I like you Stella. Why can't you just say yes to me?" He heard the guy speaking. "Say yes to me. Just say yes to be my girlfriend and I will lay the whole world at your feet."

Adam clenched his jaws in anger hearing his words, veins popping out on his forehead.

"You should leave right now. And my answer is still no." Stella replied with her brows furrowed. She has had enough of this man, he has been pestering him for the last fifteen minutes. She turned around to leave but he caught hold of her arm.

"I am not going to let you go unless you say yes to me." He held her arm, dragging her back roughly.

"Keep your hands off me." Stella shouted at him, trying to wriggle free from his grip.

"Didn't you heard the lady? Keep your hands off her." A voice boomed throughout the floor before the man could say anything further.

Adam walked towards the duo taking long strides. He grabbed the man's arm, squeezed it hard, making him leave Stella's.

Once her hand was free she walked around to stand behind Adam.

"Sir, I apologise but this is a matter between me and my girlfriend, so you shouldn't interrupt." The man said looking at the ground.

"Oh? Really! Your girlfriend? The last time I checked, she was mine." Adam said squeezing his arm further.

The man's face became pale hearing what his Boss has said. "S-S-Ssir.."

"Get out of my sight, right now." Adam scowled. "And also you are fired." He gritted his teeth.

The man wanted to retaliate but he knew he couldn't mess with the Adam Levinson. And if what he had said was true, then he had no chance with the girl here. He left with his tail tucked in between his legs without saying a word.

Adam turned around once that imbecile had left his sight. "Are you alright?" He asked her, his voice soft and warm, devoid of the frostiness it had a while ago. "You aren't hurt anywhere, right?" His voice was laced with worry.

Stella looked up at him nodded. Looking at his worried expressions, she gave him a soft smile. "I am completely okay. Shall we go home now?"

He looked at the bag in her hands that had escaped his eyes earlier and nodded, tucking a loose lock which had somehow managed to escape her bun, behind her ear. He gave her soft peck on her forehead. Heading to the elevator his one hand rested on her lower back, while the other was tucked inside his dress pants pocket.
