Recap
“That’s because I remember his every feature by heart, those beautiful set of hypnotic eyes, perfect straight nose, those tempting, luscious lips,Hmmmm…” Henry was totally enjoying her antics. He never thought she could so easily turn him on with bare minimum effort. She locked her hands behind his neck and yanked him closer to her. Her dreamy blue eyes holds so much beauty in it. Their lips were inches apart.
“You don’t know what you are doing to me Juliet,” she looked clueless.
“You are driving me crazy” he said huskily so close to her ears, gently kissing her earlobe. His warm breath on her skin tickled her senses and had ignited a tornado of desire in her.

   Henry and Julie looked at each other’s lips intently, Julie could feel the tension building up, she inclined her face and decided to let her desire take the lead. There was a knock at the door.
“Excuse me, Mr. Kingston” Lee entered with an apologetic face.
“No, you’re not excused, please leave” Julie, who was annoyed at the intruder that cock blocked their intense moment said at once.
Henry chuckled and looked at her in disbelief, she had never been rude to anyone. Lee smiled and said, “Sir, she is little tipsy as Luhu San has administered the boozy potion for pain relief, she would be sober in a couple of hours. And this room…” He looked up at the camera “will not be comfortable for her to rest” he waited for Henry to get the cue. Henry quickly responded, “oh, yes, I will let her rest in my room” Lee nodded and left with a smile.
Ben and Mason were having tea in a table little away from Sr Kingston and Ryan Scoffs. Lee joined them and asked “why does Mr Scoffs look so petrified?” Ben laughed, “don’t you remember, when he was young, he spent a summer with Kingston Sr, he disciplined him in his style and that’s when he decided to never cross paths with him, but his friend tricked him today into coming here, he did not know where we were going until you have called about the emergency”
“How is she doing?” Mason asked.
“She is in good hands” Lee gave a coy smile. They both understood who he had meant.
“She played a big role in His recovery, she was very selfless” Ben stated.
“So she was the one who Senior had thrown out that day from the penthouse?”
Ben and Mason nodded grimly.
“Have you released the culprit girl?” Mason questioned.
“Lisa? You know the answer already” he shrugged. Their working style was ruthless as all know.
“Lee, get the golf kit ready” Sr Kingston called out. Ryan looked alarmed, Ben observed his distress and came to his rescue, “Sir, but it’s raining outside”
“Oh bad, let the rain settle”
Ryan sighed loudly, Sr Kingston turned at the sound.
“Sorry Mr Kingston, I was little tired out of travelling”
“I am waiting to break all your lazy bones with the golf club(stick)”
Ryan gulped. Lee, Ben and Mason all laughed at the poor man.

“What were you telling me?” Henry asked Julie.
“About your tempting lips?” Julie replied at once.
Henry laughed aloud at this bold version of Julie. She pulled his beautiful slender fingers and he came closer to her.
“You are more handsome when you laugh” she caressed his cheeks sensually.
“I think we should have our little private conversation more privately” he whispered while stopping her hands from stroking him.
Julie jumped down from the bed and stumbled, “Ouch”
“What’s wrong?” Henry asked in concern.
“My ankle hurts” Julie frowned. He put her back on the bed and examined her ankle.
He massaged with oil and gave a mild twist, she felt better. She slowly got down and tried to walk. But he scooped her up in his arms and took her to his room.

   Julie had never seen such a warm, comforting, soul satisfying bedroom design. When they entered, it was raining, all the walls and ceiling were made of glass and the beauty of the raindrops falling on the glass amidst the tall trees of the forest, was the most mesmerising scene.
“Wow amazing!” Julie said out loud.
The cosy feel of the room just added to Julie’s desire to touch and cuddle him. She did not leave him when he placed her on the bed.
“Julie you are intoxicated” he tried to reason with her and stopped her from advancing.
” Yes, your voice, your scent, your smile just lures me to you”
“You won’t be saying this, if you are sober”
Her eyes quickly glistened at his rejection, so she turned her face aside. Her hurt pulled at his heart strings, so he yanked her into a tight hug.
“Don’t you find me attractive?” She asked in between her sobs. Today she felt emotionally weak, let her armour down so did not fight her desire.
   He held her face in both hands and looked deep into her eyes and stated, “you don’t know the effect you have on me July, though you have openly stated your love and admiration towards me, you stood in your limits and never crossed the line. I respect it, which is why I stopped myself whenever we were so close to kissing in the past. Today you are under the influence of the potion, it makes you feel different emotions, it would mess your rational thinking and leave you with deranged thoughts. I would be extremely hurt and disappointed if you regret kissing me when you are inebriated and think that I have taken advantage of your state” she remained quiet.
“You still don’t believe me? A man’s turn on device is so visible, you can check for yourself” she looked down at his pants and blushed deeply.
Sighing at her blushed face, he walked away and stood near the glass window. She slowly limped to reach him, she back hugged him and said “You’re giving me more reasons every day to keep admiring you”. She looked at him with an adoring smile. He pulled her to his front, kissed her forehead and lifted her by waist to place her back on the bed.
“Just close your eyes and rest July” He sat next to her and stroked her hair gently.
She moved closer to him and made herself comfortable on his lap with a smile.
That gesture surprised Henry and warmed his heart. He never knew these soft emotions ever existed as it was so new to him. He always had a mechanical life after his mother, he did not have anyone close to show him the tender side of life. He neither stopped himself to have such feelings nor given a chance to relationships.
   No women had ever caught his attention or held his interest. It all ended in few dates and flings as no one was making efforts to have a meaningful relationship. They were just after his wealth, fame or look. Though Julie has a liking for his looks, she was not desperate to get into his pants. She had never initiated or tried to get intimate with him even when they were alone.
He definitely knew that his heart is growing fond of her. She attracts him in a different way. He relished at her beautiful sleeping form as she had one of the purest and innocent faces he had ever observed in anyone, her well-defined eyebrows, soft supple skin, the pretty baby hairs on her forehead, that kissable lips did something to him, “You’re so edible” he whispered to the sleeping girl.
   She squirmed in her sleep, he stretched his limbs and leaned on the head board, pulling Julie closer to him. She looked at him with sleepy eyes, craned her neck to have a better view of him, “I would never get used to your handsomeness, every single time I am starstruck” she mumbled more like a sleep talk, she kissed his neck and nuzzled into his chest, hugging his waist and fell asleep.
She may not remember that she had lived The dream of her life.
Henry was dazed at Julie’s behaviour, if not for the potions, he wouldn’t get the chance to witness the REAL Julie, the carefree girl. She had been holding so much emotions and desire in her, masking it and acting all professional around him, even if he advanced. He was amazed at her self control, given her liking for him, she had never slipped from it when she had all the opportunity to get intimate with him, if not she could have accepted his advances but she stood by her principles.
   The grace, the dignity with which she carries herself makes her more desirable. She had openly expressed her fondness towards him yet she never acted out of line. He had come across many women who had tried to get his attention in different ways, some would directly hit on him and some would choose indirect ways, but she was one of a kind.
She must be having her own insecurities in expressing her interest, so she had set her own boundaries and safely termed her affection as Crush by deceiving her own mind. It would be a challenge to convince her otherwise Henry thought.
This moment when he is all alone with the woman he likes, securely hugging him, the soothing sound of the rainfall, this cosy place felt just PERFECT.
