"Oh my god!" Olivia shrieked. Her feet brought her to the wall behind her due to shock.

Xander cursed when Brandon’s fist landed on his jaw. And now the latter took hold of his collar.

"You f*cking jerk!!" Brandon hissed.

" Stop that!" she uttered without moving from where she was. She hated to admit it but was scared of Brandon’s anger.

Xander had his arms on his face to protect himself. Brandon angrily looked at her.

“Is this *sshole your boyfriend? I saw him kissing another woman! So this trash is your kind of man?!” he asked through clenched teeth.

That left her speechless. She lowered her eyes. She placed her hand on her chest. She could feel her heart throbbing. She raised her head eyes again when Brandon smacked her ex on the stomach this time before he shoved him to the ground. Before she could move or react, he grabbed her arm and dragged her outside.

"W-Where are you taking me?” she asked sounding panicky. She couldn’t hide the fear in her voice.

She didn’t get easily scared but this time was different. A former UFC champion was dragging her. He was very tall and all muscles so she couldn’t fight him physically. But as she expected, Brandon ignored her question and just continued walking tagging her along with him. Her eyes widened when she saw that they were heading to the garden.

"NO!!" she protested.

Many images formed inside her head. Vivid images of what he and the woman he was with did entered her mind. She was afraid of what this pervert might do to her. Then he pulled her to him so her soft body crashed against his hard one. All her breath seemed to have gone out of her. She was tall and had high heels but she had raised her head a little to look at his face. It’s so unfair that he was even hot-looking this close. He had beautiful dark brown eyes. His stubble added to his sex appeal. He was hotter than a Greek god. She had no choice but to touch his chiseled chest because she wanted to push him from her. She felt her mouth went dry. He smelled of cigarette , a musky cologne and his natural manly sweat but strangely, she didn't find his scent appaling at all. Instead it was seem to be turning her on. She felt her most private part down there reacted. She scolded herself. She couldn’t believe that she felt physically attracted to this maniac. The man was a male version of Eve. He was a walking sin and she would put herself in such a big trouble if she became sexually attracted to him. She can’t be having this feeling. Xander said that she was frigid, boring and an amateur in making out. In other words, she didn’t have sexual passion in her bones. Her ex even told her bluntly that he didn’t have the desire to teach a virgin like her about sex. Though what he said hurt her years ago, now she was relieved that she didn’t give her virginity to such a jerk like him.

***

Brandon knew that he was in trouble. He hadn’t even touched nor kissed Olivia but he already felt horny. She was lovelier upclose. Her features were perfect. She deserved to be a beauty queen. Her face was really enchanting but he noticed that her eyes had a certain coldness in them though that didn’t affect her attractiveness. He wanted to utter an obscene word. This woman was like a magnet and what was surprising was, she probably didn't even know what effect she had on him. His pants felt tight. His manhood was throbbing.

This can't be happening to me! He angrily thought.

" Release me!" Olivia demanded.

He clucked and narrowed his eyes. He wasn’t aware that his pissed feature made him seemed hotter.

Olivia swallowed as she tried to appeared to be unaffected by this man’s good-looks. She hated her body from reacting to him. She knew that she wasn’t capable of feeling any desire for men but it was so unbelievable that this good-for-nothing pervert had a strong effect on her. She was probably going insane. She would stop skipping meals even if her mother would throw insults at her about her body every day. Dieting had a bad effect on her brain and all the system in her body.

"Leave that f*cking jerk! I will treat you better. I will make sure that you will have multiple orgasm every day," Brandon said like he was just talking about the weather.

She felt her cheeks turned crimson.

"You psychopath! You really are so uncivilized! How dare you say such...such...vulgar words!!" she was gritting her teeth in annoyance.

He grinned which made her want to spit on his face. She had the strong desire to do that but she was terrified of what he would do to her.

"I am known to always speak what's on my mind and what my buddy down there wants…” he chuckled.

He pulled her to him so their bodies would be closer. She almost closed her eyes. She could feel something hard between them. She was a virgin but not naïve. She knew that the perv’s buddy which he mentioned was that thing.

"You have soft boobs. I am f*cking sure they are real. They look so big under your gown. I wonder what your nipples look and taste like. I am sure they are rosy and sweet..." he said while sounding breathy. His dark eyes were on her lighter ones.

"You are the most disgusting man I’ve ever had the misfortune to meet!" she said furiously on his face.

His actions and words are both appalling. He let out a chuckle which lightened his face and her cl*t reacted again. Unfortunately her kitty was also starting to sweat since her underwear felt damp. His closeness and the scent of his body were sending waves in her body and mind. Strange enough, she liked the combination of cigarette and mint scent on his breath. They make her body react involuntarily. She scolder herself again for having this sexual feelings for this man she hated.

"I haven't imagined that a gorgeous woman and a beauty queen like you can curse like but you really turn me on big time. I like everything about you, baby. I want to hear how you scream and what words will come out of your sweet mouth when I eat you and f*ck you repeatedly, ” Brandon said in a husky voice.

He released her hands but he wrapped his arms around her. His hands were almost touching her butt.

"I will scratch your face if your hands will go lower," she threatened as she looked at him with eyes like daggers but he just grinned.

"Shit baby! We will be so f*cking good together and I can hardly wait…" he raised one of his hands to cradle her chin.

She knew that he was going to kiss her so with all her force, she pushed his muscled chest and turned her head the other way.

"NO!" she said through clenched teeth.

His hand which was near her bottom tightened. They were so close together. His arousal between them was making things worst. He held her chin firmly. He turned her face to him.

"I hate that word and I don’t want to hear you say that!" he said before kissing her on the lips. She did everything to keep her lips clumped together. She didn’t want his tongue inside her mouth again but her body was betraying her. When he squeezed her bottom she gaped and he took the chance to invade the sweet recess of her mouth. His tongue started to explore. She tried to turned her face but his other hand held the back of her head to steady her.

NO! He can't do this to me! She told herself as she made sounds of protests.

"Brandon!" a female voice squeaked.

He was taken aback and Olivia pushed his chest with her arms. He didn’t want to release her but the woman behind her spoke again.

"How dare you!" the woman pulled her hair.

"Ouch" she cried out.

Brandon had no choice but to release her.

"LET GO PAULA!" he demanded angrily while taking the woman's hands off her hair.

When Brandon freed her, she hit the woman with her elbow.

"BITCH!!" Paula screamed before letting go of her hair.

Angrily, Olivia faced them. Paula’s face was red from anger while Brandon was holding her arms from her behind.

"You turned me down for this bitch?! You are really a womanizer” The woman accused Brandon.

He freed Paula’s arm and took Olivia’s

" If you don't let go of my arm this instant, I will kick your balls so hard that you will have male infertility problems!” Olivia threatened.

She knew damn well that she won’t be able to fight him physically. He was a UFC champion and a mixed martial arts expert but she was really pissed and wanted to hurt him badly. He cursed under his breath but eventually released her. Then he raked his fingers through his hair while his eyes were on her angry face.

"Look baby..." he began to tell her which made Paula let out an ugly sound.

"Baby? Pft! Baby my *ss! Talk to your whore and don’t get me involved in your mess!" she furiously told him then turned to Paula.

" Listen to me you sl*t! Don't ever call me bitch because you are the bitch not me! You suck cocks better than a vacuum cleaner! " she rasped then with a raised chin, she quickly walked away from them.

She heard Brandon calling her but she ignored him. With all the anger in her, she would fight him like hell if he attempted to stop her.

***

It was her first project for All For Comfort. She was looking at her face in the mirror. The make-up artist did the finishing touches before she went out of the small dressing room to check it the set was ready. She stood up and checked how she looked like in the big mirror behind her. She had her hair loose on her shoulders and had minimal make-up on. Graciella instructed that she would be doing the pictorial for sports wear first . She was in a black sports bra with matching spandex gym shorts. Her boobs appeared to be bigger. What she had on, showed her curvaceous body and her flawless skin. She didn’t feel nervous and uneasy wearing such skimpy wear because she knew the photographer. He was her cousin’s friend. Then the door opened.

"Lei? Is the set ready?” she asked the make-up artist.

When she didn’t answer, her brows creased. She turned her head to where the door is.

"Lei..." she stopped when she saw a bare-chested Brandon who was looking at her appreciatively.

"Damn..." he murmured as his eyes ran on her body.

As usual, he was stripping her with his eyes. She let out a quiet sound of disbelief and disgust at the same time.

Her mouth was slightly opened as she stared at him. Hi muscled chest and arms were full of tattoos. He looked sizzling.

"You are sexier than I imagined," he murmured but she heard him.

"W-what are y-you doing h-here?" she stammered as she realized she wasn’t just seeing things.

The man she abhorred was in front of her. He was really here. He raised his eyes to meet hers. She saw them glint before he gave a sneering smile.

"We are doing pictorials together baby. And I am sure as f*ck that this is going to be a lot of fun..." he said as his eyes darkened and narrowed before they went down to her breasts.

(Flashback: At Denny Ignacio's birthday party)

"Where did she go?" Brandon asked Graciella.

"I guess she went home. She seems to be in a hurry. She said she has a headache," the woman said.

He almost cursed. Paula stalled him. His former bed warmer wanted more in their relationship but of course the feeling was not mutual. If he didn’t fall on her trap of delaying him. He could have stopped Olivia from leaving. After what happened tonight, he would tick off Paula from his list of f*ck buddies.

"So are you going to say yes? Will you do some pictorials for the new sets of wear of AFC? I know you are too busy but I’m sure you can squeeze the pictorials," Denny’s wife said with a smile.

She wanted Brandon to be their endorser. He could attract more clients and customers because of his sex appeal. Women would surely buy their products for their husbands or boyfriends. They would want their partners to look even just a little like the Brandon Lopez who was a dream for women.

Brandon was now looking at Graciella with a serious expression.

"I might even do it for free,” he said and the woman almost gaped.

"That's a joke right?" she asked with her eyes wide.

He knew that she didn't expect him to say something like that. His talent fee cost a fortune and just now he just said that he wouldn’t charge them anything. He smirked at her so she will understand why he was willing to do something like that. Graciella Ignacio nodded after a few seconds. A wider smile broke her lips.

"!Now I get it! You are willing to do the pictorials with no talent fee because of Olivia!”

He cocked his left brow. "Yes and more..." he said.

(End of Flashback)

At The Moment…

"W-What do you mean?" Olivia asked Brandon.

"Exactly what I said baby…" he replied throatily.

"Will you stop calling me baby!"

He released a sexy grin which made him look yummier.

"You have to get used to it baby. Like it or not, that will be our endearment,” he said conceitedly .

She clenched her teeth.

Calm down Olivia! You can’t be stressed by him! She reminded herself.

She wanted to kick his shin and smack his face but she wouldn’t. She was a beauty queen. She was supposed to always act properly. She won’t let her anger towards this hateful man ruin her reputation. She heaved a sigh and lok at her reflection in the mirror again. Besides she had to take hold of her wayward feelings towards this man. She might hate his ways, words and behavior but she couldn’t deny the fact that he was sinfully hot.

"Are you ready baby?" she heard him ask.

Rolling her eyes, she turned to the door. She totally ignored him. Her eyes roamed the set as she searched for Lander. Her cousin’s friend who would take the photos. She bit the inside of her cheek when she couldn’t find him in the room. The crew she saw when she arrived was missing too. Instead, there was a man maybe in his fifties who was checking the camera. And two females were arranging the props and lights. Then Lei entered the room. The make-up artist gaped when she looked behind Olivia. The latter couldn’t help rolling her eyes. She knew Lei gaped because of Mr. Pervert. She stiffened when she felt his hand on her back.

"Let's meet the photographer and his crew baby," he told her.

She didn’t say or do anything. She just let his hand on her back. She didn’t want to cause a scene.

***

"Okay Brandon, now I want your arms around Olivia while she leans her back against you, " Tony, the photographer instructed.

Brandon did what he was instructed to do and she almost was gritting her teeth. The former UFC champion of course was taking advantage. She had realized that he probably chose the photographer so they would be asked to do very sexy poses while their body touched each other. She stopped complaining because Tony would always patiently and kindly explain why they had to do those poses. And unfortunately for her, he makes sense all the time. Later after the photo shoot, she would call Lander and asked him why he wasn’t doing the pictorials. If he were the photographer, she was sure that there won’t be any scenarios like this.

"Yes! That’s it! Hold that pose!” Tony said before turning to one of his assistants, “" Sam! I want more lights there..." he pointed at the right side of the set.

"You are giving me a boner baby, " Brandon whispered in her ear while his arms were still around her.

She had goosebumps and she felt that hard thing again on her back. He was definitely right! The pervert was having a hard on!

"F*ck you!" she whispered back through gritted teeth while pasting a fake smile on her face. She made sure that he heard her though her back was on him.

She heard him chuckle then he whispered on her ear again, " Yes baby! Do fu*ck with me! I want it hard and rough..."

Her eyes narrowed with his lasciviousness but before she can retort Tony’s voice vibrated in the room again.

"Okay! Let’s start again!”

They did some more poses before they were asked to change clothes. They were given a ten-minute break. She heaved a sigh of relief because she cold at least breath without Brandon. When she was about to go down the stage, he was about to help her but she shoved his hand.

" I can do it myself! Don’t touch me because the camera is not on us! Pervert!" she angrily uttered but she made sure only he could hear her. He chuckled which made her grit her teeth.

"See you again in ten minutes baby..." he told her.

This time she turned her head to glare at him. She gave him the dirty finger when she knew no one was watching. As expected, he chuckled again then winked at her.

"Goodness Miss Liv! You and Mr. Lopez looked great together! I didn’t think it was possible but he looks even hotter in the flesh! His body with all those tattoos is magnificent!” Lei commented giddily as she helped her with her hair.

"Sorry Lei. He’s not my type. Excuse me, I have to make a call,” She said with a smile before standing up.

She has three minutes to spare. She had to call Lander. After two rings, he answered.

"Liv?" came his deep voice.

"Lander! Weren’t you supposed to be our photographer today?! she asked and he sighed.

"I was! I don’t know what happened! I even called Miss Graciella’s assistant. She said I should go to studio 6 because there was a mix-up. Anyway are you done? I will be done in less than half an hour.”

" We have some more shots but I’m almost done too.”

"Good! Can I come over the studio? I would like you to join me for lunch. We'll talk about the pictorial. I hope you haven’t forgotten your promise. he said with a smile in his voice.

She smiled too. He asked her if she would be his model for one of the exhibit he would be joining. Because of her cousin Andrew, she said yes.

“Don’t worry. I haven’t forgotten.”

" Thank you. I will come over right after we finished. See you Liv!” he said sounding happy.

"See you Lander." she replied before hanging up.

She gasped when she turned and saw Brandon behind her. His eyes were burning and his lips were clamped.

"Do you want to give me a heart attack? Why are you so sneaky for Pete’s sake!” she accused him in a little shaky voice.

She closed her mouth and swallowed when she saw how he was looking at her. He was staring at her and he certainly looked pissed.

"The set is ready,” he informed her in a very cold voice before turning his back at her.

***

She was glad since finally Brandon acted like a professional during the last shots. He still had to put his hands and arms around her and their bodies had to be really close but she felt that his touches didn’t have any malice. He behaved like a professional model, not a pervert. He didn’t whisper any disgusting comments in her ear too. She almost uttered a prayer of thanks. She hurriedly walked to the dressing room. She would take off her make-up and change clothes.

She was now in black jeans with dark gray top. She had black flat sandals on. She would be meeting Xander for lunch so she had to hurry. She didn’t want him to wait for her at the studio for a long time in case he was already there.

When she opened the door, instinctively her foot moved two steps back. Brandon was sitting on the couch across from the dressing room. He was in a leather jacket and dark jeans. He had a brooding expression. He raised his head when he felt her presence. When their eyes locked, he stood up.

"Let's go." he said seriously. His face was also serious.

She frowned. " What do you mean by let’s go?" she asked.

" You are going to have lunch with me. We can go together to the AFC office later.”

He was talking about the briefing with Graciella and the designer. The latter would discuss with them the formal and casual clothes they would wear and model.

"That will be much later. I can go there by myself." she said before walking passed him. She almost gaped when she felt his hand on her right arm. She looked daggers at him.

"Will you let me go?! You are so annoying! " she complained.

"You will eat lunch with me baby." he said firmly.

"I can’t! I have other plans!” she muttered sounding irritated.

But she felt her heart skipped a beat when she saw him grit his teeth and his eyes became like slits. His hand on her arm tightened.

"Haven’t you heard about what happened to your ex? " he asked coldly.

She chewed her bottom lip. Obviously he already discovered her lie.

She was about to say something but he said," I guess you are really angry at that *sshole because you introduced him as your boyfriend to me. Well he was probably afraid that I will finish him off because he confessed that he was after all is your ex. But sorry to say , he passed out after that because I had beaten him up." he said with a sneer.

Her eyes widened. "Y-You w-what?" her voice sounded weak. Brandon pulled her closer to him.

"You heard me baby. I knocked the daylight out of that trash! I don’t know if he was already discharged from the hospital,” he said nonchalantly.

She uttered a sound of disbelief and fear.

"Do you want to know why?" he asked.

She shook her head while her eyes were wide as she looked at him. He appeared to be holding his breath as he stared at her eyes then her nose. His stare went down her lips too and after a few second, they came back to her eyes. His hand on her back tightened.

"Because I think you don't get it baby. I've told you what I want to do to you and your beautiful body. If words aren't enough, maybe actions will do the trick. I can easily beat up trash who will come near you. Listen baby, I want you! I badly want you and you'll be mine ! I'm the only man who can come close to you! Am I making myself clear?!" he asked in a voice as cold as ice.

She couldn’t help swallowing. She didn’t know what to say to him. She was shocked and felt a bit afraid of him. He didn’t even give a damn about what he did with Xander. He seemed to be used to knocking other men around.

"I even brought the photographer who I trust and his female crew because I don’t want any *ssholes looking at your body while we have the photo shoot! But unless you want me to beat up the trash you were talking to on the phone, you would go with me now” he added as his eyes were on her.

"Miss Liv! Sir Lander is looking for you, " Lei announced with a smile but her smile disappeared upon seeing Brandon,"...err…he is in the studio, " she added in a small voice while her eyes were on Brandon.

She felt Brandon's fingers almost dug on her arm before he abruptly released her and walked furiously towards the corridor to go to the main studio.

"Brandon no!" she said and went after him.

The anger she saw on his face and the way his body stiffened before he turned to walk away, she knew that he would do what he said about beating up Lander. She cannot let him hurt her cousin’s bestfriend.

"Please Brandon no!" She even grabbed his arm to stop him.

He turned to her. His lips were a thin line.

"He is my cousin's friend! You can't hit him!"

She was ready to say and do anything to stop him hitting Lander. She didn’t want any scene. She had been avoiding such situations but Brandon’s expression wasn’t encouraging. She needed to do or say something before he smacks Lander.

"I will do anything! Just don’t hurt him. I don’t want my cousin to get mad at me!” she said desperately.

Then she saw his eyes glinted and his brows creased.

"Anything?" he asked in a raspy voice.

Her eyes narrowed. She wanted to take back what she said but she couldn’t. It was true that she didn’t want any rift between her and Andrew but the way Brandon is looking at her now and that tone of his voice, she was having cold feet. He was now smirking.

"Anything but sex!" she hissed.

His smirk became broader. The look on the perv’s face was r worrying her. She turned her head where Lei was a while ago. Thank goodness she was gone. .She didn’t trust Brandon and the words that would come out of his mouth.

He pulled her by her waist then lowered his head to say in a husky voice, "Are you sure baby? You will do anything?”

She nodded. His touch was sending shivers down her spine. One of his hands was rubbing her back which caused her to have goosebumps.

"Sex is out!” She wanted to clump her lips because looked like he'd kiss her again.

His lips twitched to one corner. He was really a walking temptation! Her body was reacting so she scolded herself.

She would start dating tomorrow/ All the guys who like her were good men. Brandon might be way richer and hot than them, she was better off with any of them. She won’t ever want to be Brandon's woman. He was a womanizer and had no scruples in getting what and who he wanted. But her forehead creased when she remembered that he told her no other men could go near her. She almost groaned when she felt his warm and pleasant breath fanned her face. She was lost in her thoughts and hadn’t realized that their faces and bodies were very close now.

"You and your buddy are alike eh? You don’t even choose the time and place to act disgustingly!?" she said sarcastically when she felt his arousal between them.

He chuckled without breaking the stare.

"Contrary to what you think baby, my buddy doesn’t react to just any female. But you are a different story. It hardens when I see or smell you. Much more when we are this close. So just say yes so it won’t be disappointed. My buddy never wanted any woman so much until now. The mere sight of you makes it throb." he whispered.

"Is sex what you always think about? You seem to be talking about nothing else but sex! The level of your lust is something else!" she hissed.

He ignored her and instead moved his face closer to hers. Their lips were almost touching.

"I won't smack that photographer but you will let me kiss you. And you are not going with him! We will go to lunch together! " he said sounding firm.

She turned her head to the other side to avoid his kiss. She felt she couldn’t do it. The way he sounded made her feel that he was not talking about a simple kiss. Having lunch with him didn’t sound as scary as the kiss he was talking about.

"Let me go! I can’t breathe!” she complained and tried to push him from her.

She was lying of course. She just wanted a space between them because she couldn’t think clearly in that position. She was glad that at least he did let her go immediately.

"Listen baby. I won't do anything you won't like. And I promise that we won't go all the way without your go signal." he said.

She almost cursed at him. What did he think? That she was excited to have his hands all over her? She was about to voice her protest but they heard footsteps. It could be Lander.

She hurriedly whispered, “ Do what we agreed on!”

He winked and smirked. "Scouts honor.” He replied and he raised his right hand and crossed his fingers

“I will do what I told you and you would do the same baby,” he added in a serious voice. His expression became serious too.

She pushed him away from her. But before he totally released her, he gave her lips a quick but firm kiss. When he released her, she quickly put a distrance between them. The footsepes were nearer. And a few seconds later, Lander appeared.

"Liv?" his brows creased when he realized that she wasn’t alone.

She was thankful that the distance between her and Brandon was far enough. She didn’t want Lander to realize that Brandon had just kissed her before he came into view.

Brandon clenched his fists which were on his sides when he saw the other man’s face. He was pleasant looking and though the bastard looked surprised when he saw them, he seemed to be really glad to see Olivia. The trash and Olivia deemed to be almost the same age. He on the other hand was already thirty three and he was ten years older than her but he didn’t care. Their age gap didn't matter. But seeing another man who was nearer Olivia’s age and who was obviously very interested in her, really pissed him big time. Slowly, he felt heat ffrom his neck was going up to his face but had to control his anger. He promised Olivia that he would stay cool. He tore his eyes from Lander to look at her.

"Have I kept you waiting Lander? I’m sorry. Mr. Lopez and I were discussing about work. I did the photo shoot with him,” Olivia said to Lander. She was smiling.

Brandon didn’t like that she was smiling at the Lander but he shut his mouth. This would be the last time that he would allow her to smile to *ssholes. He would tell her that later.

"No I just came in. So are you ready to go?” he asked Olivia and he was looking at her intensely.

Brandon gritted his teeth. He had to leave them for a while before he would lose his control.

"I will wait for you outside baby. Don't forget what we talked about,” he reminded her while his eyes came back to Lander.

Olivia almost grunted. What Brandon just said and how he said it sounded threatening. Lander knitted his brows and looked at Brandon. Much as Olivia didn’t want to transfer her eyes at Brandon, she had no choice. She wanted to glare at him and say something sarcastic because he used his endearment for her in front of Lander. But when she saw his face, she just chose to shut her mouth. He had a scowl as he glowered at Andrew’s friend. Slowly, his narrowed eyes went to her.

He leaned towards her, without touching her , he whispered in her left ear in a very cold voice , " Don't let him touch you or else..."

After a few seconds, he straightened then transferred his eyes to Lander again, "Be out in three minutes baby. I hate waiting." He was talking to her but his eyes were on Lander.

She stayed silent but she would definitely talk to him later. He finally turned and left with a straight back. She could sense that his muscles were tensed. She knew he was doing his best to control his anger. It was kind of awkward between her and Lander after Brandon left.

" I didn't know you were an item." Lander commented. He looked poker-faced but his tone is a little cold.

She let out a light laugh. "Of course not! He calls all women baby," she lied.

"I know what I saw Liv," He added but he shook his head after he realized what he said. He now looked apologetic.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to sound as if I am prying. But from what he said, I reckon that you are going out with him? Does that mean that our lunch is cancelled?" he asked disappointedly.

She circled her lips with her tongue. " S-sorry but it slipped my mind. We have a briefing with Graciella and the designer. We can re-schedule our lunch.”

He heaved a sigh and in a sad tone said, " Okay. That’s no problem, Liv.”

She smiled apologetically again before asking him to walk with her to the door. She checked her watch then walked ahead of him. Their three minutes was almost over. Knowing Brandon, she was worried that he might cause a scene if they won’t come out immediately.

When she was almost near the door, it was flung open and Brandon stepped in. His face was wooden as he glared at them.

"I will call you Liv." Lander whispered so Brandon won’t hear.

She just nodded and turned her head to him. He released a small smile before he left. He even nodded his head at Brandon but the latter just continued glowering at him. She almost rolled her eyes. When Lander closed the door behind him. Brandon pulled her by her arm and e leaned her back on the wall.

Before she could react, he said," Time to claim my kiss!"

He pinned her hands above her head as he pushed his tongue inside her mouth. He was really an expert in the art of kissing that felt felt lost. One advantage of him being a manwh*re was he was a great kisser. His kissed were making her lose her mind. The movement of his tongue inside her mouth caused her legs to wobble. If her back wasn’t against the wall and Brandon wasn’t holding her, she would have probably been on the floor already. Her legs felt like jelly.

Frigid my ass Olivia! She scolded herself when she couldn't help but let out a moan.

He was rubbing his body against hers and it was really a shock that her body could only react to him. She was dead meat! Her body’s reaction was ruining her sensible thinking.

Brandon was kissing Olivia as if he really couldn't get enough of her. He had tasted a lot of women's mouths but she had the softest lips and the sweetest saliva . His desire for her was sky-high. He would have her very soon. He didn’t think that he would last longer without possessing her. He would totally lose it if he had to wait for long.

"You are driving me crazy baby...." he murmured when he removed his lips from hers for a few seconds.

"Sorry!” the voice sounded like the make-up artist’s.

"Go out and close the door!” he ordered Lei without turning his head to look at her.

He saw Olivia’s mouth slightly open to say something but he kissed her again without caring of Lei’s presence.

Olivia just heard the door closed while Brandon was still devouring her sweet mouth. She was wishing hard that Lei wouldn’t tell anyone. But she doubted it. News spread like fire. When Brandon finally tore his lips from hers, they were swollen and numb. She pushed him from her.

"You took advantage again!”

He just let out a sneer. He touched his own lips with his index finger as his eyes were on her. He seemed to be savoring the kiss they shared.

"I like kissing you so much baby and honestly, I can kiss you forever. But I want to do something more satisfying to you. Much more satisfying than just kissing your sweet lips," He said throatily which made her raise a brow.

"Excuse me?! We had a deal that it would just be a kiss! Actually what you did was more than that! " she accused.

He didn’t reply. He was just looking at her with a naughty smile on his lips.

Brandon tried to convince her to ride in his car but she refused. She had to do some grocery shopping after their lunch and before their briefing . She didn’t want him at the grocery with her. His female fans would flock to them.

She was surprised to see Graciella Ignacio with the designer of AFC already in the restaurant and talking to Brandon . They probably arrived at the same time. She on the other hand had to find an ATM machine. Now they were all seated around the table. She found out that Brandon asked Graciella to have the briefing earlier since he would have an emergency meeting with one of his business partners so he won’t be able to come to the AFC office after, She was curious abut what kind of business he was talking about. They were probably all monkey business anyway. She told herself that soon , she will get information about those.

The designer was explaining about the clothes they would wear for the shoot while the waiter was serving their appetizer. All was going well though she was sitting next Brandon But she spoke too soon. After a while, she almost dropped the glass she was holding. She felt his warm hand on her thigh. She was in a skirt which was above her knee. She glared at him but his eyes were on Graciella. The other woman was talking about the new concept her husband wanted to have with the new ads for their products. Discreetly, she tried to remove his hand on her thigh but it tightened.

"So how was the shoot with Brandon, Liv?" Graciella asked her.

"It was okay." she replied expressionlessly.

She pinched his hand but it was useless. It even went higher.

"Did you already tell her Brandon?"

"Tell me what?" she asked with a creased forehead.

Brandon had his eyes on her and she felt nervous.

"I haven't." he told Graciella but his eyes were never leaving hers. He was now rubbing her upper thigh gently.

She tore her eyes from him to look at the other woman. If she didn’t do that, she would throw the liquid in her glass at him.

" Brandon agreed to be our business partner. He agreed with a partnership between AFC and Sport It Up which he owns. He is now your boss too."

She stopped from groaning. Her brain hadn’t yet fully absorbed everything. She was perfectly aware of the consequences of what Graciella just said. Slowly, she transferred her eyes to Brandon. She swallowed when he smiled knowingly at her. She felt his hand squeezed her thigh. She gritted her teeth and wished herself good luck.
