Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

"Shay, leave!"

Oliver's voice was another ear-piercing blast, deafening as Shay covered her face and ran away.

Oliver swung open the passenger door and helped Josefina out. Josefina spoke with displeasure, "You did that on purpose."

His voice was tender and doting as he replied, "Only way to let everyone know I'm taken, and no one can mess with my love life." He lifted Josefina out, and she, startled, clung to his neck. Shay, from a distance, watched the entwined figures, her heart turning to ice.

Standing in Oliver's living room, Josefina stared at the array of herbal supplements he'd laid out, dumbfounded. "Did you take me here just to show me these?" Oliver arched an eyebrow, his smirk rogue and unrestrained, "What else did you think I wanted?" He did want something else, but he feared upsetting Josefina.

Josefina's face flushed, and she quickly lowered her head in embarrassment. "That's not what I meant."

She reached for a bottle of Ginseng, inspecting it closely, "Oliver, how come you have such fine supplements at home?"

"I had someone find these for you, for your research. The medicine you prepared for my grandfather must've included some fancy herbs, so I gathered these. See if they're of any use."

Josefina was in need of these supplements, and even more stunned by Oliver's grand gesture. Talk about deep pockets.

Josefina was examining the supplements, while Oliver's gaze was fixed on her. The joy on her face made him content; he was happy that his gift was well received.

Josefina had barely taken her seat when Oliver slid next to her, pulling her into his embrace. "When will you become the lady of the Baldwin family?"

His voice was coaxing, and as Josefina teaned back against his chest, a current seemed to run through her. "What are you talking about, I'm still young." She still had school to think about.

Oliver chuckled lowly, his voice magnetic and seductive, "Not that young."

"What are you talking about..." Josefina squirmed, trying to pull away.

But Oliver wrapped his arms tighter around her waist, whispering into her ear, "What's got into you?"

The tingling in her ears made Josefina shiver, her earlobes blushing a delicate pink. Oliver

nipped at her earlobe gently, sending

tremors through her body. His

crimson lips moved from herear to her slender neck, biting softly.

"Ah..." Josefina became even more sensitive.

She sat on Oliver's lap, acutely aware of the changes in his body, uncomfortably so. "Oliver, let me go for a moment."

Her voice was soft and sweet, inflaming Oliver's desire as he held her close. His voice was raspy as he teased, "Isn't it easier to talk this way? You can hear everything I say clearly."All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

His right hand rested on Josefina's waist, his left gently pinched her chin, then caressed her cheek, coaxing her to turn towards him.

As soon as Josefina turned, Oliver's

lips claimed hers. His kiss was as

domineering as ever, like a graceful cheetah on the savannah,

vet

confidently stalking its prey, greedily devouring, claiming his prize.

With a sore neck, Josefina tried to wriggle free from his grip, but Oliver let go only to press forward, continuing his conquest.
