Chapter fifty four
I had approached Archer threateningly ready to lash out at him when I suddenly slipped at something and started falling.
But Archer:my knight in shinning armor was there to rescue me as usual
A*sh*le" I hissed and started hitting him on the shoulder while he had to let go of my waist after bringing me up in order to defend myself
"Ouch" he cried out in pain trying to dodge my incessant attack "Are you gangster or something"
"Yes I am" I retorted with blazing eyes and renewed intensity "How could you say that out loud?"
"Say what out?" He pretended again
"How could you say...my...b..."
Damn I couldn't even say it out
"Y-y...my...bo..." I sputtered out, trying to come up with the right words to express my self
Archer was clearly enjoying my distress. I could see it on his face
I sighed a deep long breathe and returned to the centre of the office,plopping down on the firm yet sift sofa exhausted
It seems Archer did not expect my three sixty degree change of plan because he stood there transfixed ,confusion apparent on his face.
Thankfully the couch was long enough to accommodate my legs so I simply plumped its cushion and lay down, resting my head on the arm while shielding my face from the room's lighting by tucking it into the crook of my arms
A minute hardly passed by when I a poke on my face-no need guessing, Mr nuisance was here again
I ignored him but instead turned my back to him but as usual he was persistent
"Won't you leave me alone? You have less than three hours to complete that truckload of documents on your desk" I exaggerated my back still at him
"Are you angry at me?" He asked,reaching out to tuck my hair behind my ear but I didn't reply him but sneered at him instead
Realizing I was adamant in giving him the silent treatment be backed off or so I thought until I felt an uncomfortable and yet sensational tingling beneath my feet
No way
My eyes flew wide open at once as I tried to fight off Archer who was tickling the bottom of my feet
"No stop it!"I screamed while laughing at the same time
I tried to withdraw my legs from his firm hold but it was impossible, his grip was ironclad
"Are you still mad at me?" He asked, tickling my feet so much that I begun to cry
"No!" I laughed out loud tears running down my face
My lungs were beginning to hurt from laughing too much and I knew at once, I couldn't take anymore of his tickles, I would surely die
"Please stop"
I struggled to say this sternly and thankfully he stopped
Without even giving me time to recover from his trickles he hoisted me up his arms eliciting a startled scream from me
Carrying me in his arms he then sat back on the sofa and made me straddle him,sitting right on his laps
My face blushed tomato red and I squirmed trying to get away from him but his arms wrapped around my waist halted my progress
"I have always dreamt about this moment from the first day I set my eyes on you" he whispered huskily into my ears making my heart to pound against my chest
He went on" you on my laps in my office having pure unadulterated fun"
His breath tickled my ear and I discovered how hard it was breathing.
I choked "D-dont you have work to do?"
But he chuckled in amusement "Trust me little tigress, can finish that in one hour thanks to your motivation" He said and out rightly ran his tongue over my lips without warning
I stood frozen ,did this guy just lick my lips?
But he didn't give me a chance to make a comeback cause he demanded right away" I want you take the initiative this time"
I stared at him dumbfounded, talking of which he was right. Aside from that I was drugged and the challeng, I have never initiated a kiss with him ;Archer's the one who is always doing the job
"Jord-"
"Shh, no complaints" he hushed, pressing his middle finger against my lips"Do it" he commanded with all seriousness
There was no escaping this one, I had no choice but to comply with his request
So I moistened my lips and clenched my fist- God help me
I let my hands encircle his neck and began to lean in
Luckily, just as our lips were about to connect a sharp knock sounded at the door and jolted me from whatever spell was cast on me
I knew who was at the door, Ned probably : He must be back with the orders
I quickly climbed off him and was quite surprised to see Archer's below was solid hard while I thanked God for the distraction.
With a grateful heart , I called him in and the poor guy immediately walked into the room with the request.
He set it on the large glass table but flinched when he met Archer's murderous glare right away
What has he done? He must be thinking.
I sent Archer a warning look and he lowered the intensity but still had his eyes glued on the guy whose hands were now shaking
I shook my head sympathetically wondering how long Ned was going to last cause I heard none of Archer's secretaries last a month thanks to this nonchalant and devil -may-care-attitude.
Archer simply ignored the guy and sauntered over to his desk and began to work on the documents while I enjoyed my coconut drink with chocolate waffles-I had to increase the size of my mammary glands as per Archer's order
Once I was done I sat back on the sofa and began to watch Archer work - the sight was something to write at home about.
It was no secret that men were the most handsome while working.
His shirt was left open at the neck exposing a bit if his chest while the sleeve was rolled in a faux causal style.
His face scrunched tight, fixated in his work as he went through the files.
His passion and the way his face was deep in concentration made him much more appealing to me but I was beginning to get bored.
It seems Archer was among those people who would loose themselves completely to their work once they start it, cause over the next hour, his eyes were glued to his documents without saying a word to me me.
I wondered if he knew I was still around.

Don't be faster than your shadow, little Tigress
Archer's POV
I was startled when I felt something light and gentle make NY ear twitch I looked down only to discover Amaya was beside me tingling me with the end of her hair
"Welcome back" she said giving me a sheepish smile that made me froze.
How could she looks so adorable right now with those puffy cheeks that had a hint of dimples and the red adorable lips.
"Hey" she waived her hands in front of my face "Earth to Archer"
I snapped realizing I have been gapping at her for a while now as my jaw shut close
"I am sorry" I apologised and readjusted the seat making space for her to sit on my laps.
"Are you sure"Amaya asked with hesitation when I gestured for her to sit on my thigh.
"Yess"
She gave me a questioned look
"No gripping" I assured her
But she still gave me a doubtful look
"And no wandering hands " I added and this time she smiled satisfied as she slowly but cautiously sat on my laps her legs swinging on the side
"I must have done it again" I said to her but she gave me a confused look
"Done what?"
"Ignore you while working" I explained to her "I have the tendency to immerse myselft to my work a lit that I loose connection with the outside world"
"Ooh" she nodded "I do that sometimes but not to the point of ignoring everyone around me no pun intended by the way"
I chuckled, sometimes I just admire frankness and ability to say what's on her mind, though I can't say the same for bravery she can be quite headstrong when it comes to making sharp and witty comebacks in a conversation. She can be adventurous but not a big risk taker, she is just like a chicken, a cute adorable chicken.
"Tell me a story " she requested out of nowhere
