A tempting partner

Chapter 26 A tempting partner She swayed a bit as I helped her take a seat in one of the rooms. It was the very one that use. She sat down and I got the first aid box. I opened it and brought out the ointment. I moved closer to her and tucked her silky hair at the back of her ear, exposing her forehead and clean long neck. The spot where I had hit her early was already getting inflamed and reddish. I opened the cap of the ointment tube and pressed some on my index finger, holding the hand up. I didn't know how she was going to feel about me touching her even though I knew deep down that I wanted to touch her skin. Since the intimacy on the plane,all I could think of was how to get to touch her again. ‘Focus,' I said to myself and cleared my throat, how could I think of such? 'Here," she said, bringing me out of my thoughts. She guided me towards the exact spot I bent over a bit; the first thing that hit my nose was the scent. The very one that I had perceived while we were in the plane. The fragrance reminded me of something in the past that I couldn't place my hands on. I felt as it someone was trying to remind me if something but I couldn't place my hands on it. 'Ouch," she said as I dabbed the ointment on her. 'Sorry, could you stay still?" I asked as I rubbed her skin which felt smooth beneath my finger. Her skin felt warm and surprisingly, I could feel that I loved the way her skin is. For some odd reason, I put a bit more of the ointment on her skin again and rubbed it in just for me to get a feeling of her skin once more. 'I hope your head isn't throbbing like mine," she asked and I scoffed 'I'm a man for a reason, I'm tougher than you might think," I replied. 'I'm more concerned about you, I don't want you to ruin your face with some silly scars" 'That feels better," she said softly, closing her eyes. 'I love the fact that you are gentle with it," she added softly, again. 'I'm always gentle Myra," I replied huskily as I kept my eyes on her skin, trying to not notice how she occasionally moans softly as I touched it or how she bit down in her lips when I pressed my hand on the reddish spots but I didn't know whether she liked my hand on her skin or whether she was doing that because of the pain. 'Thank you," she said, holding my wrist. Her touch sent an unexpected thrill down my spine as she did this. Time seemed to stop as she did this and I stared deeply into her dreamy eyes as she blinked at me cherubically. I wonder why I could be reacting to her in such a manner. Myra is my partner and I mukeep it so. 'You are welcome, just be careful," I said, clearing my throat and covering the tube I was holding, she let go of my wrist and I immediately felt it. I looked through the window and saw that we were close to the island. The horn blared just in time, breaking the trance completely. 'Why don't you go ahead first? I'll join you after I use the restroom,"she said and I nodded, leaving her in the room. ************ She stepped out of the yacht and onto the island while I got down behind her. The island was exactly as I envisioned it. The air was clean and the scene before me was full of green luxury. It was the best place for Crest Oils to expand its tentacles. I knew I was right when I picked it. Ofcourse, I'm never wrong As we all gasped at the scenery,I watched Myra bent over and packed a bit of coarse sand in her hand. I knew she too was mesmerised by the sight before her but all I could see was the way her jumpsuit fitted on her, accentuating her figures . With each step she took, it was full of confidence and purposefulness but all I could see from my end was the juggling of her bottocks. ‘God, what is wrong with me?' I thought as I wiped my eyes with my hand. 'This place is fascinating and fantastic as well, it has an alluring feeling that pulls you in," she said as she faced me suddenly. I quickly cleared my face of any wishful thinking and smiled, walking to her 'Of course,that is the main reason why we choose it. It was no joke when I said, here would accommodate the one percent of people at the top of the ladder. It would become home to highly influential individuals," I replied. She nodded in agreement to what I said. 'Well,I believe I still have to go over the designs again. It has to match this heavenly beauty," she said as we both head to what would be the construction site. 'Ofcourse,we could both look over it at dinner tonight if you don't mind?" I asked and she nodded 'Alright,I hope you don't mind me looking over it again though? I can be handful at times. I'm quite a perfectionist, also what I see here is much better than what was shown to me during the presentation," she said, looking around. 'The landscape here is perfect for the type of hotel you are looking to build and we can't have any mistakes coming from the architectural designs," she said with professionalism that I admire 'I don't mind you taking a look at them again Myra, I'm glad you are committed to this as much as I am. We've both done our homework, so should be able to come up with something excellent.' 'Thank you for your kind words. I might not know a lot about Crest Oils but be rest assured that I'm going to do my part perfectly. A project as huge as this requires us to be attentive and…focus,"she added 'Yes, focus," I said but deep inside I knew I needed the word the most. I have to focus on what we have. Her voice had moved away from the seductive one she had while we're on the yatch and was now replaced with expertise. 'Shall we begin with the site survey?" I asked and she nodded. We both began to walk towards the construction site, the workers were already waiting for us. We got to them and she began to watch them begin working and spoke, giving several insights. As she did this, my thoughts strayed from whatever she was talking about and began to admire her again for the upteemth time that day. I took note of the way she moved her hands as she gesticulated, as she tucked her hair behind her ears while glancing at the clipboard in my hand. Our shoulders grazed eachother as she did this but she didn't take any notice of it. Instead,I felt electricity sparks all over me as she did this. 'Would you like to add anything else?" She asked, suddenly, looking and blinking at me. I wasn't listening to anything she was saying so I had difficulty in getting why she was asking of me. 'Yes…no, I'm sure you'll take the right decision, plus, everything looks good to me," I added. 'Okay," she said smiling. I chastised myself once more and paid attention to what was going on around me. *********************************************************** By time we finished and was ready to leave, I had finalised the surveys and plans. The sun was about to set when we finished and we all headed back to the yacht ready to go back. As we walked side by side. She wouldn't stop talking about the island while I couldn't stop thinking that Myra Cullen was gradually moving away from a friend and a partner to rather, a temptation that I must be careful of.
