Chapter 162 - Temptingly Delicious

Crown Resort Group

Katherine was in Damien's office helping him prepare for the regular Monday meeting with the executives. A few years ago, the company started to venture into the real estate business. Because of its booming success, the company had been making a lot of revenue from developing residential and commercial properties. 

Recently, the company bought a few lands and they had been preparing on how to fully maximize the potential of gaining revenue from those investments. One of the agenda for the meeting was to discuss a few projects and planning the construction bidding that they will advertise in the future. 

"Come with me to the meeting. I want you next to me." Damien Park stroked his fingers on her hips and slid his hands up to her waist while she was fixing his tie.

A smile formed on her lips as Katherine folded and inserted the tie to form a knot. He insisted on wearing one of Katherine's gifts that day – it was the classy navy blue tie with Kitten outline. "You're insanely clingy this morning. What's up with you?"

He gripped her waist and abruptly pulled her closer, causing her to yelp in surprise. "Can't I just want to be with you? I'll be on a trip tomorrow…" 

"Yeah… but you'll only be gone for two days!"

Damien dipped his head and his mouth found her sweet spot just below her ear. He open-mouthed kissed and nipped the spot, instantly making her knees buckle. "Yes, I'm going to miss you." 

Katherine forced herself to gently push him away and glared at him. "We're in the office, President Park. I could sue you for harassment." 

Damien threw his head back and laughed before he wrapped his arms around her waist. He revealed a sexy smirk as he said, "Really? Well, make sure you tell HR what I did to you in bed last night. And how I made you come apart…" He pressed his lips on the base of her ear. "Over…" Another one on her jaw. "And over… again." She couldn't help but grip the collar of his suit.

As he pulled away, he saw the questioning look on her face. "You are a very mean person," she said, rolling her eyes but smiling right after.

"I love your dress," he commented.

Katherine was wearing a black single-breasted pencil dress. It had 3/4 sleeves and the buttons started from the neckline 'til all the way down to her mid-thigh. Paired with black stilettos, she looked classy and formal.

"Of course, you do. You chose it for me this morning," she replied, patting his tie in place and brushing the stubborn lint away from his coat.

"And do you know why?" he asked, raising a brow while he buttoned his suit.

Katherine gave him a questioning look, waiting for what his reason was. Leaning forward, Damien moved his mouth to her ear, his hot breath tickling her skin as he said, "For easy access." 

He turned towards the door and walked out, leaving her with a bewildered look on her face. "Let's go, Ms. Miller."

"What do you mean?" she muttered as she hurriedly went after him with her brows furrowed. She quickly grabbed a few things from her desk before following him to the elevators, however, Damien didn't answer her question.

…

Meeting Room

In a long solid wood table that seated twenty people, Damien and Katherine sat side by side at one end — all of the members of the meeting facing the presenter who was at the other end of the table.

An hour into the meeting, they were already talking about the target date for the contractor bidding on the properties that they intend to develop.

The presenter went on about the possible projects that they could have in connection with the lands. He mentioned a few top construction companies that could be part of the bidding process; a few of which he favored: Hara Construction Company, Young Corporation, and Smith Construction & Development Company.

He mentioned the different achievements and excellent projects that the said companies had accomplished recently in order to make it easier for them to choose the winner.

While that was going on, Damien was seemingly bored with the ramblings of the presenters and the other members' contribution to the topic. He leaned back in his chair and his eyes landed on Katherine. She was sitting on his right side, typing away the minutes of the meeting on the laptop in front of her. 

In a very subtle manner, he shifted in his seat until his knee was touching her thigh. Feeling the nudge on her leg, she peered down and saw what he did. She looked at him but his face was expressionless and he was staring straight ahead. Thinking that it was unintentional, she went back to focus on her laptop. Damien swiftly glanced at her and suppressed a smile to form on his face.

He casually leaned forward on the table and turned his head to the side as though he was checking her laptop but he kept his body on a safe distance away from her.

Soon after, Katherine softly gasped, her hands unceremoniously spreading on the keyboard and her fingers accidentally tapping random keys before she froze. Carefully, she peeked at Damien's face but he was still expressionless and not looking at her. 

Under the table just a few seconds ago, his expert fingers popped the last button on her skirt before he planted his hand on her bare thigh. He stroked it gently, sending jolts of lust straight through her core. 

How could this Devil put her in this situation? It was dangerous!

And… his hand was so warm... it's so temptingly delicious.

Facing her laptop again, Katherine tried so hard to ignore his hand petting her thigh and continued what she was doing. Determined to stop his mischievousness, she squeezed her thighs shut, trapping his hand in place. 

Damien loosely covered his mouth with his left hand, looking so nonchalant but he was actually trying to mask the grin that was threatening to show on his lips. If she thought that was going to stop him… she was obviously wrong.

With a flick of his hand, Katherine's thighs spread apart. And in an instant, he slid his hand further up her inner thigh, making her gasp again. "Hh…" She had to clear her throat and bite her lip to keep herself from making another sound.

Her heart started to race and she was so sure she needed to replace her underwear very soon, especially when Damien began to draw slow circles on her skin as his hand went further up. Dangerously.

Katherine could no longer concentrate. She stopped caring about writing minutes and glanced at the device next to her laptop. It was a good thing that the meeting was recorded, she could easily review and redo the minutes later. There was no way she could ever work at that state.

Her toes curled and she shifted in her seat as she fought the urge to buck her hips to his hand. 'You are nasty, Katherine!' the innocent angel in her said. But the little devil in her ear was telling her to have some fun and even open her legs wider to give Damien better access.

She was battling with herself and she did not know what to do. Her body was on fire. She almost moaned when his fingers found the edge of her underwear and teased it.

"President Park?" one of the members of the meeting called Damien's attention.

Damien looked up and saw everyone's eyes on him. Katherine was afraid that they were caught but was surprised to hear that he was still calm as he responded with a nod, "Good. Proceed with the plan. Prepare to advertise for the construction bid. That's all." His hand disappeared from her thigh while everyone else got up and walked out of the meeting room. 

Before getting up from his chair, Damien leaned into Katherine, his voice low, hot and stern as he whispered, "In my office. Now." 

Her heart beat erratically, thinking about what her man was about to do. The typical Monday morning suddenly became an interesting one. Possibly even steamy.
