K-Brothers And The Little Maid

Leigh-Ann’s POV

“You spell a better groom” Ace teased and he smirked making my heart sink. It was him. Yes, him.

“You don’t know that man. I’m the Best” He responded and he turned as his eyes met mine. I looked away almost immediately.

“Ain’t you gonna say hi?”

My heartbeat seized once I heard that from him and for the first time in weeks, I felt so sick and wished I could vanish into thin air. I looked up nervously and tried to speak but the words couldn’t flow out.

Holy fuck! Why didn’t Alejandra tell me who her date was? I should’ve known it would be him.

But I had one question on my mind. Why did his presence affect me so much?

“We wanted to dance, join us,” Ace said and placed his arm around my waist. That almost made me jump. It looked like Kael noticed it cause he chuckled with his gaze still fixed on me.

Yeah, Kael. It was him and he was here “Alright then, a dance”

Ace led me away from them “Are you okay?”

I nodded but didn’t look at him. I suddenly felt sick.

“I know you’re afraid of Kael but don’t be afraid to look into my eyes cause am ready to see through you and mend you”

I looked up at Ace and our eyes met. My silver-colored eyes and his petrol blue eyes. What had he just said? I don’t know but I suddenly felt strong and alive.

With his left arm on my waist, he drew me closer to himself and as Alejandra had taught me, I placed my right arm on his left shoulder. His right hand found my left hand and slowly, we began dancing to the melodious waltz.

I closed my eyes and allowed the feeling to wash over me but it didn’t last as Alejandra’s laughter rang in. I opened my eyes immediately and wanted to turn and have a look but Ace stopped me.

“Feel the moment” He whispered and I tried to relax but my mind wasn’t with him.

Kael, Kael, Kael… the fuck!

I hated how he possessed my mind. It only made me feel caged with him in my mind. I couldn’t get him off and I can’t hide these feelings any longer.

It’s not supposed to be but it’s not a crime. I love Kael and it’s starting to feel like a fucking disease with no cure.

“Leigh… I think I like you” Ace’s voice broke in. I was shocked but I looked into his face anyways. His eyes held mine.

“What did you say?” I asked instead. I needed to be sure I heard him well cause It’s like I didn’t hear him correctly.

“I said I liked how you’re beautiful”

I heaved then chuckled. What’s even wrong with me? I can’t even hear things properly. “Thank you”

We kept dancing and after some time, Ace spoke up.

“It’s time to switch partners”

My eyes shot open and I looked around. Alejandra and Kael were also dancing toward us.

“No, why?” I asked terrified. One could hear my heartbeat thumping loudly.

“Because it’s fun that way. You’ll enjoy it. Kael’s a perfect dancer”

I frowned and shook my head but Kael and Alejandra were here already. Slowly, Ace’s hand left my waist as he caught Alejandra’s and they danced away.

Another strong arm wrapped around my waist and even when it wasn’t cold, I shivered. My heartbeat increased. What the fuck is wrong with me?

“You don’t want me” His cold voice broke in as he came to stand in front of me. He held my right hand and placed it on his broad shoulders. He then held my left hand in his.

“But you don’t have a choice, am here”

My breath quivered and I felt so cold. With his hand at the back of my waist and his warm breath on my neck, it felt like I’d pass out any moment.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Kael made some movements, moving us in the process and I knew he had started dancing.

Holding my breath, I tried to move with him but I couldn’t. I shook visibly. Oh, mercies! What the fuck is wrong with me? This is just some stupid dance and after now, everything will be over.

I’ve been dreaming of a day like this. One day he will hold me so close to himself so what was happening to me? Why was I so cold just by his touch?

I looked sideways and caught Ace and Alejandra dancing. They seem to be having a conversation and the mere thought of Alejandra hiding her supposed date from me got me infuriated. Why didn’t she tell me?

Was she tryna show off or what? What the fuck was she tryna do? I suddenly felt so mad and jealous, damn. Damn this dance, damn Kael, damn Alejandra, argh… Damn this stupid date.

I felt so nervous and couldn’t hold myself anymore.

I had to leave. I had to move away from Kael.

“I… I” I stuttered not knowing what to say.

“You what?” Kael asked calmly which made me gulp hard. Why was his voice that way? It’s supposed to be as cold as ever so why was it calm?

“I… I am thirsty and I’m feeling hot. I… I need water and air Sir”

He didn’t respond and I figured he didn’t hear me.

I made to speak again but heard him chuckle. I frowned and bit my lower lip. Why was he laughing anyway?

“You’re feeling this way cause I’m so close to you huh? I’m so close that your throat dries up and your body burns. I love the sound of that”

My head snapped immediately and chills sizzled down my spine. I wanted to look up at him, to move away and avoid this mess but with his arms on my waist and mine on his shoulder, I found it hard to.

” I don’t bite Leigh-Ann, even if I do, not someone like you. You’re too small and innocent. If I get to bite you Leigh-Ann, just a simple one can screw the life out of you”

My heartbeat increased and the tension worsened. How could he say I was small and innocent? Did I look that way?

Our movements were slow and I was conscious of my steps so as not to step on his toes.

We kept dancing and after some time, he took his hand off my waist, and for some time I thought the dance was over but then, he held my hand in the air and twirled me around. Gosh, it felt so awkward.

His hand fell back on my waist and we resumed dancing.

“What an ass” He muttered and I flinched. With wide eyes, I made to step away but he held me closer to himself and this time, I couldn’t breathe.

“You don’t want me” He repeated then moved his arm to cover the whole of my waist “And as I said, am not going anywhere, just for tonight”

His words, his voice, everything made me shiver. What in the name of fuck was he saying?

“S… Sir…”

“And for tonight, I’m Kael” He added and I gulped nothing.

“For tonight” The word kept ringing like a bell in my head. For tonight he was Kael and not my boss. Just for tonight.
