“I am sorry-” Pearl tried to say but Rio held his hand up.
“I know I said that you get a month’s trial before I make my decision, but if you keep performing like this, I am afraid I will have to make my decision much sooner. Am I clear?” he said, gazing into her eyes.
Pearl gave a quick nod, and Rio walked over and held open the door. “You are excused for now. I expect you to be here tomorrow on time.”
“Yes, sir.” She sighed as she collected her purse and walked out of the mansion.
Chapter 6
Rio pulled her closer to his body, tracing his hands over her curves. He couldn’t deny the fire that ignited in his chest any longer, and he leaned over and pressed his lips against her luscious ones. The need and desire to take her throbbed through his body as he pulled her even closer. Her mouth tasted delicious, as his tongue slipped in through her parted lips and ravaged her mouth.
She softly moaned against his mouth, and the bear in him roared and growled as the urge to make her his, overpowered his senses. His hands traced over her voluptuous breasts, before trailing down over her thin waist and then cupping her ass. Her hands traced over his bare chest, sending electrical sensations across his skin. He growled as he kissed her even more furiously than before, unable to tame the monster inside him. His bear growled and lusted for her as it tried to take control and dominate.
He pushed her deeper into the bed, as his hands slipped under her shirt and caressed her smooth, soft skin. She moaned, her hands trailing down onto his stomach. She rubbed circles onto his skin with her fingertips, sending waves of pleasure coursing through his veins. He held her down as he kissed her with a fiery passion, his body and mind craving every inch of her. He couldn’t deny the way this girl made him feel, and he couldn’t fight the feelings she ignited deep within him any longer. He had never wanted another woman as desperately as he wanted her, right now.
He was pulsating and throbbing, ready to take her. He grinded against her body, rubbing his thick member against her warm pussy. His hands found her nipples and he teased them slowly as he rubbed circles around them. Her hands were now clutching his back as she withered and moaned. He kissed her passionately and intensely, as her lips melted against his. He trailed kisses down her smooth neck and onto her chest, even as he continued to grind against her warm body.
The waves of pleasure rolled off his body, as he pressed himself even harder against her. His body was ravaged with the desire to take her and make her his. He slipped off her shirt, before latching onto her juicy breasts and sucking on them with all his desire. Her nails dug into his back, as she arched her back and moaned loudly. He trailed back up until his lips once again met hers and the two of them kissed passionately. He broke away, panting, and looked deep into her bright blue eyes.
“Take me,” her melodious voice whispered.
He gazed into her beautiful bright eyes as he leaned down to kiss her once more. The loud noise of the alarm suddenly woke him from his dream, and he sat up, gasping and breathing hard. His hands slammed down on the alarm, breaking it and shutting it permanently. He sat there, his body covered in sweat as he tried to suppress the desire and urges that still pulsated through him. He could still see her bright blue eyes shining as he looked into them. He couldn’t believe that he had dreamed about her. Why did she continue to have such an effect on him?
He had known her for only two days and yet, here he was, having dreams about ravaging her body. He still remembered the way her body felt against his and the way he held her in his arms. He remembered how close she had been and how his bear had growled and howled in lust and desire. Her scent drove him crazy and at that moment, he had been afraid that he wouldn’t be able to let her go. Her body had barely weighed anything; she clearly wasn’t used to being well-fed. In fact, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that she had lived a very hard life. She had mentioned it in the interview, but he had a hunch that she had faced a lot more difficulties than she told.
He felt a pang of guilt for being so hard on her last night. It was her first day at the job, and Rio knew how incredibly difficult Laura could be. He had told her off and threatened to fire her if she didn’t get her act together. He had acted the way he did with his clan, as the alpha leader. He had treated her the way he would treat an incompetent member of his clan. But, he needed to remember that she was just a human and his nanny.
He slipped off the bed and walked to his bathroom to take a cold, cold shower. God knows, he needed it.
Chapter 7
The screaming and shouting were once again echoing through the apartment, and Pearl felt like pulling her hair out. What in the world had driven her to apply for a job as a nanny? What made her think that she could do this? True, the money was great, and she would easily be able to support her father with it, but was it worth all this hassle?
“Where is my Barbie?” Laura screamed. “Where is my pink Barbie?”
“Your Barbies are right here,” Pearl said, taking a breath to steady herself. She picked up a few off the floor and handed them to the child, who grabbed them and threw them on the floor.
“My pink Barbie!” she shouted. “I want my pink Barbie or else!”
“That’s enough!” Pearl snapped, finally losing it. “I want you to go and clean up your face and hands, right this instant!”
“You don’t tell me what to do!” Laura replied. “I will tell Uncle Rio what a horrible aunty you are!”
“And I will tell Uncle Rio what a spoiled brat you are!” Pearl snapped and then instantly felt guilty for shouting at the little girl.
“No! Uncle Rio loves me! He loves me!” Laura said, angry tears in her eyes.
“Alright, Laura, listen to me,” Pearl said, sitting down on her knees. “I am sorry I shouted at you, but please, don’t make this difficult for me. I am just here to look after you, that’s all. Please, let’s just get you cleaned up and then we can have some lunch.”
“No! I want my doll!” the little girl screamed before running into her room.
Pearl sighed, getting off the floor and heading over to the kitchen where the chef was preparing lunch. The maid had just finished cleaning up the house and was leaving. Pearl would like to say that she was on friendly terms with them but that would have been a lie. They mostly ignored her and concentrated on their own jobs, leaving Pearl alone to handle Laura.
The day passed by just as slowly as before. Pearl glanced at the watch and realized that Laura hadn’t come out of the room for an hour. She cleaned up the toy room until it was almost time for dinner and then headed over to Laura’s room. She opened the door slightly and stopped when she heard the little girl crying.
“Mommy,” Laura said, sobbing. “Mommy, why did you leave?”
Pearl slowly walked inside, her heart giving a painful tug as she watched the little girl clutching a picture to her chest.
“Laura?” Pearl said softly as she sat down next to her. “Are you okay?”
“I hate you!” Laura shouted. “I hate you! My mommy is gone, and I want her back! I don’t want you! I want my mommy! I want my mommy with me! You are not my mommy!”
Pearl looked down, feeling guilty at having shouted at the little girl. She hadn’t realized that the girl might be missing her mother and feeling resentful toward Pearl.
