Chapter 44: Accept

Lana

I followed behind Cyrus while he leads me to a private room, allowing me in first I walk in-he then suddenly slams the door shut chasing me to jerk back and flinch, when I realize he's locking it. "Don't call me that" He faced
me, his expression being cold and hard as a rock, Swallowing I roll my eyes, this was a mistake.

What if he's planning on murdering me, again. God you're so dramatic Lana.

"Call you what?" I arched a brow folding my arms across my chest, maintaining a poker face "Mr. Winter," he glared me in the eyes while slowly stalking toward me, Chills go up my spine as his figure shadows me in the dark, the only lights was the big view of the garden behind us. This room was stocked with bookshelves and from a distance a long table where my guess people sat to read in, if he were to kill me we can easily get lost.

"It's your name isn't it?"
"Still feisty as ever Little Mouse" Sighing I take a step back before he can close the gap between us, my skin on fire and glint of sweat rolled down my back from how incredibly hot if felt in here "I'm an Ambrose, we have an attitude problem" I tried maintaining eye contact, but that's when I feel my back hit the table behind me,

Fuck me.

His eyes, those fucking black eyes I got lost in the darkness, they were filled with lust, and I knew mine were speaking the same thing, what is he doing? what am I feeling this way still, god I hate you Lana.

My thighs clench as he suddenly release a smirk showing off his beautiful smile he always hides.

"Your dress looks amazing"
"I know it does-"
"On you" My clit throbs and I gulped the lump in my throat, how much I hate to admit it, but I missed his voice, and him being this close to me, the scent of lust, and the tension between us is thicker than before.

"Why did you want to speak to me?" My voice came out as a whisper than usual and I hated how easily I showed off how intimidated I was by him.
"I just wanted us to be alone" He spoke firmly with a shrug of his head, his black suit fit him perfectly, as if another layer of skin it showed off his every muscle, his jaw was tensed and his dark black hair was styled to the side, I'm not used to Cyrus in a suit, or I've ever expected him to ever be in one.

Nor his hair being styled he used to always have it wet messily down yet still attractive enough to make any girl swoon for him, this...Rich gentleman looking Cyrus is another level of sexy, and what's even sexier is knowing he's not a gentleman at all.
"Thats inappropriate don't you think?"

"How so?" He arched a brow bitting on his lower lip, my eyes darting toward the motion and back toward his eyes, my chest heaved up and down as the silence consumed me whole, the shadows in the corner of the room darken leaving us both in a black while. His eyes then suddenly dart toward my body, my small waist and big tits, and I couldn't help but clench my thighs harder.

Why do I love the feeling of him looking at my body- Fuck I need to get out of here before I do something I'll regret, fast.

"Locked in a dark office with your ex" he inhaled a breath and pinned me against the desk, his big arms trap me and my back leans close enough to his face to keep me straight my he's to close, way to close.

Even tho it's been months of not seeing each other, he still makes me burn for him, my heart pounds against my chest threatening to jump out as his hand is gently placed on my thigh.

His fingers brush across my goosebumps and I suck a deep breath, lust slaps me across the face from his touch, bitting on my lower lip to maintain a moan trying to slip free, my clit was sensitive and throbbing from his stare and his touch-

FuckFuckFuckFuck

"What are you doing" I whispered, my voice trembled as his lips lean down to whisper in my ear
"An experiment"
"Pardon?" my eyes widen, and my heart drops to my stomach...

What-What did he just say?!

"You failed, you still have feelings for me Little Mouse," He smirks raising freeing me from his arms, I swallow and stand straight feeling the urge to punch him across the face, fucking dick head! he was testing me, "Asshole" I whisper as his hands slowly run up against my thigh to my lower stomach.

"Cyrus" I said through gritted teeth, I'm surprised they haven't broken into shreds from how hard I'm clenching them.
"Thats my name, call me by my name" he demanded with a smug of a smirk.
"I fucking hate you" I shout my voice echoing through the room as I quickly rush to smooth down my dress-

"You want to know my biggest regret Little mouse?" I froze on the spot, thats random yet my curiosity got the better of me.
"When you nearly got me killed"
"Yes that too," I couldn't help but let out a sarcastic laugh, he closes the gap between us again, this time his smile disappeared and mow he looks dark and scary. "That day I left, I regret not kissing you," He whispered his hot icy breath hits my neck, and shivers crawl down my spine as I stared up at him.

Without my consent my gaze softened, and the worst possible thing slips out from my lips.

"Why didn't you" I bite on my lower lip- when he suddenly lifts me up by my thighs, my ass slams against the desk and his arms trap me against him, this time, he wasn't afraid to rub against me, I gasp as I feel his hard erection over my entrance.

"I didn't want to make you uncomfortable" his voice lowered, as turned on as he is, this isn't right we shouldn't be together, he hurt me and I have no clue how to look past it, he lied to me, and I kept the darkest secret from my trauma from me. How do I forgive him? "we should get back" I stammered breaking eye contact and glancing down at his- bruised hand?

"I don't want to" he whispered seductively.
"You're confused," I chuckle trying to find a way to escape his grasp without slamming my lips against his, please Cyrus just let me go before something I'll regret happens.

"I'm not confused, far from it actually I know exactly what I want"
"And what's that?" I rolled my eyes.
"You"

I couldn't help but laugh, I felt like a bitch as I watched him frown"Your joking" my laughter drops, swallowing I avoided his gaze, but he forces my chin to look him in the eyes "I'm not, I'm dead serious"

Shaking my head back and forth I shut my eyes, if I look at him I'll fail to break down to tears "Cyrus, we're done"
"Stop lying to yourself for once Lana, you still care and so do I" he snaps releasing the grasp around me, "You and me, things will get complicated" I said watching as he takes big steps back.
"I can guarantee it" he whispered under his breath.

"Your right let's get back, this was-"
"Cyrus" I cut him off mid-sentence, he turns to look at me and glares at me with a soft look, a look I haven't seen on his face for what felt like years.

The look of hope.

"The day I said I didn't love you back," I hopped off the desk and walk up to him, he freezes and glanced below me "I lied"

"I know" He nodded giving me a smile, a smile I wish is genuine enough for me.

"I'm sorry" My bottom lip shivers, and the pool of tears start morphing into my eyes.
"Don't be, because I still care and love you,"
"Cyrus-"

"And I'll wait, I'll keep on waiting even if it takes more than a decade, I'll wait till your ready to accept my love"

And with that, he cups both of my cheeks and places a kiss on my forehead, Gasping I allow him to touch me, major deja vu from the last moment I saw him hits me in the guts. I watched as he turns around and walks out of the private office before me leaving me alone.

And before I could manage to catch a breath a sob escapes my throat.

How did we go from lust, anger, to sadness and now...I feel so empty, empty like the last time he left.
