typing on his laptop to look up and see that he had company. Her breath was coming in almost breathless heaves now as she observed him. Even from here he exuded an aura of pure male energy that made him so lethally attractive to her and that thought caused her anger to blaze even brighter.
Darius tore his eyes away from the computer screen at the sharp sound of his security detail issuing orders for a female to stop. He looked up quickly to see one of his personal guards pointing a tazer in Candasee’s direction as she stood in his doorway looking as though she would rip him to shreds!
“Gerald, it’s okay! Y ou can lower your arm, I’m not in any danger here,” said Darius standing slowly as the surprise of seeing Candasee first assaulted his abdomen like a million fluttering butterflies. Was he still supposed to get that feeling when he saw her? he mused, amazed at his strong reaction. She looked gorgeous in a tousled way with her hair loosely clipped behind her head with a few escaped tendrils framing her face. She was dressed in a lilac coloured top which exposed her toned arms and the length of her neck with a pair of form fitting blue jeans which emphasized the soft swell of her hips.
“Are you sure sir?” asked Gerald taking his job seriously, assessing the level of threat.
“Yes Darius, are you sure you aren’t in danger?” asked Candasee in a low voice before taking a menacing step forward into the room.
Darius moved out from behind his desk and walked right up to Candasee and stood about three feet away from her, just drinking in her presence. He could see she was beyond livid but he could not get over that she was there and that she’d actually come up to see him. He wanted to take her in his arms and hold her, but he knew this wasn’t the time for that. She was holding one of his roses in her hand, which told him that she received his welcome gift.
“Candasee, I didn’t know you would be coming up here tonight or else I would have greeted you at the door,” he said unsure of what he could possibly have done wrong already. “But welcome home!” he added.
Gerald lowered his hand and moved away a discreet distance but Darius knew he was still on his guard for the slightest indication from his boss! He had only seen one other woman come up here who wasn’t here on business or on the management team, and that was his mother, who was always welcome and always in a good mood. This angry woman was unfamiliar to him but Darius seemed to know her quite well, thought Gerald.
“That is the who le problem I have with you Darius! You assume that you just know it all don’t you. Do you actually think I wanted to come here to this hotel at all and within a few minutes of reaching my room realize that you are already trying to manipulate me by separating me from my group, and sending me these roses? Just how stupid do you think I am?” she ground out between gritted teeth.
Darius stood in silence and a muscle in his jaw tensed as he watched Candasee lay into him.
“I came up here to tell you that I will not be bought this time with any of your little gestures. When you decided you didn’t want me and all of me, this marriage was over and it still is! I don’t know what kind of mind games you are trying to play with me here, but I didn’t decide to come to this hotel. If I had my way you would have never even known that I was even on this island! We had our time and that has passed by, let me at least enjoy this intensive without you ruining every single moment of it for me. Stay the hell away from me! ” shouted Candasee.
Good she had made her point! Let him digest that while she returned to her room. S he whirled around to storm back down the hallway and away from Darius who for some reason had become even more handsome and refined than she had last remembered. Did his hair always have that extra curl to it and were his shoulders always that broad and his eyes were so grey and warm?
