At the Mercy of an Arrogant Man

AMBER Odell had just finished washing up after her solitary dinner when the doorbell rang, imperiously and for a long time. She left the kitchen and walked down the short hallway. The wooden floorboards under the old carpet creaked under her bare feet. The old building in a once fashionable suburban neighborhood had been transformed from a mansion to an orphanage to a boarding house before, at the end of the 20th century, undergoing renovations and being divided into apartments.
Amber was lucky to have rented one of the ground-floor apartments at a reasonable price in exchange for painting it herself. He turned on the porch light and hesitated as he saw the shape of a tall person behind the red and blue glass panels at the top of the door. Cautiously, Amber opened the door. The porch light illuminated the wavy, slicked-back black hair of a handsome, olive-skinned face with high cheekbones and a commanding nose.
The uncompromising facial features and the shadow of stubble contrasted strangely with the sensuality of his mouth, despite its tight closure. Her eyes vaguely caught glimpses of broad shoulders, a white T-shirt, and long, strong legs encased in olive-green pants. Sportswear that, nevertheless, hinted at style and money. But his attention was focused mainly on a coal-black gaze that seemed filled with anger.
Which didn't make sense. She had never seen that man before. Not that he didn't deserve to be seen. Amber was disturbed by the feminine response the man's aura of virility provoked in her. Brushing back a strand of blonde hair that had fallen over her shoulders, where her strapless tube top left her bare, Amber opened her mouth to ask him what he wanted. Before she could say anything, an intense gaze fell on the wide cotton band that covered her breasts and then moved down to her skin.naked between the tube top and the blue shorts; then it moved down her legs before returning to her face.
Amber blushed with anger and surprise at the way her pulse had quickened under his impertinent inspection. Lifting her chin, she was about to ask him what he wanted when he got in first.-Where is?Amber blinked, puzzled.-I think he's committed..."Where is he?" the man repeated in a gruff voice. "Where is my son?""Not here, of course!" Amber informed him. Perhaps the man had mistaken the man for one of the other tenants.
"You've come to the wrong house. I'm sorry."He started to close the door, but the man easily opened it again and entered the hall. Amber opened her mouth to scream so that her neighbors next door, some students, or the journalist who lived in the apartment above hers, would hear her and come down to see what was happening. However, all she managed to utter was a muffled sound as the man quickly covered her mouth with his hand while pushing her against the wall.
She felt the heat of his slender, hard body, almost touching her."Don't be silly. You have nothing to fear, " he said with a slight foreign accent, intending to calm her down. Now he looked exasperated instead of angry. Suddenly, he let go of her and.said:-Come on, let's be reasonable."Okay, let's be reasonable!" she thought. The reasonable thing to do is to leave before I call the police!His brow furrowed and a glint of anger lit his eyes again.
