The Grand Mistress

For a moment, Hawk thought he lost her again. He followed her into a series of doors and exits that ended up in an unending garden maze where she kind of played hide and seek with him. Hawk was the blind seeker, mindlessly searching for someone who had trapped him in a kind of emotion that was hard for him to escape.

At last, he found her standing beside a water fountain in the heart of the theather's garden. There was no single soul in there aside from him and the girl. It was like she intentionally led him to this place alone so that no one could witness whatever dirty crime she was going to do with him. ​​

For a moment, they just looked at each other like nothing else in the world matters. Then the girl broke their connection as she bent down to let her feet loose from her heels. Then she immediately climbed into the fountain's basin, barefoot.

Hawk. worried that the girl might fall strode hastily toward her but just a few inches from the fountain, the girl's voice halted his steps.

"Watch me," Her voice was almost like a whisper but Hawk heard her and as he was greatly enticed by her, he ended up looking at her to give her an audience.

The girl then started dancing, gracefully like a swan. She turned and glided with such a precision of a highly trained dancer. She danced to no music, only the wind was her company yet it was so beautiful and mesmerizing to watch. Her expression too was so enticing, silently narrating the story of a lonely moon goddess who had been separated from the love of her life. She danced so ever beautifully, more beautiful than all the dancers in the concierto.

While she was dancing, something within Hawk surged up. It was an old feeling, he longed to feel again for a very long time. The girl's dance brought him back to Somerset village twenty years ago where he first saw the Han's heiress dance. Watching her was like he was surrounded in a kind of bliss that was beyond description. The scene for him was so breathtaking that Hawk's jaw fell open with so much adoration.

She was right, it was the kind of performance he will never ever forget.

The girl too was lost in the dance, she didn't want to stop. It was like her life depended on it and she held onto each step with hope until she reached her final leap. The girl flew into the air, like a bird, free and unconstrained. She landed just right into the basin's line perfectly. Her dance was finished yet before she could make her final bow, something happened that made her lose her balance. She fell from the fountain's basin to Hawk's strong arms. He caught her just fine as if he was always ready for her.

"Are you alright?" Hawk asked, pushing away all the hair out from her face. She just smiled in response.

"I know you'll catch me," She said, giving Hawk some hint that she intended her fall. However, her voice this time was different. There was sadness and frustration, like she did something wrong in that very perfect dance. "Did you like my dance?"

Hawk looked at her face thoroughly ever wondering what could have possibly made her sad. Her pain was resounding in his heart, as if they shared one beat and that he himself could feel its loneliness. Knowing that she needed his response, he gave her a reassuring smile, "I did. I like it very much, every inch of it,"

Her face brightened at his answer. And as it did, Hawk was too drawn to her already that he cannot anymore control himself especially that she was so warm and real in his arms. He lowered his head to kiss her and she opened her mouth to welcome him. Hawk drowned himself with the taste of her lips and she just let him savour it all. Their slow passionate kiss went intense just after a few minutes and Hawk had no plans on breaking it. He was so thirsty of her, many were the nights that he dreamed to devour her lips once more.

She however was in some kind of haze brought by memory of the dance she just did. She was lonely then and Hawk's warm arms and kisses was the only comfort she had then. And so she let him, she let him give her warmth, she let him make her feel good that her mind and heart could think none of the sadness and just the feel of the Monsanto President's kisses.

The intensity of their kisses aggravated and they were both ready to let loose. Hawk's kisses travelled down to the woman's neck then, tasting the peculiar sweetness of her neck as the woman's hands pulled off Hawk's neck ribbon that wrapped around his neck. She then unbutton two of the buttons of her inside shirt and slid her hands to feel her warm chest. Hawk moaned inwardly as he felt the smoothness of her caress, then went to kiss her mouth again. More ravishing than the first time. As he did, her hands travelled from his chest to his neck and she pulled him more closer to her, it was her time to taste him. Hawk slowed down his kisses and played with her seeking tongue. He could already feel his body burning up and his wanting surged up that any minute he was ready to get her naked. However before he could pull any of her clothing down to show all her hidden flesh, a loud slow "Ding dong" was heard all over the place that instantly broke their kiss.

"Midnight," The girl uttered as if she remembered something very important, "It's midnight already," Then she moved, squeezing her body out so that Hawk could do nothing but let her go.

"Leaving now?" Hawk was caught off guard at her sudden change of mood and as he was still breathless and half-awake from his surging want, he wasn't able to stop her sudden escape. "Hey wait!"

She stopped for a moment and looked at him for once, "Thank you for tonight,"
