The Tavern - Part ll

"I could ask the same thing, Mr. Reighs. I walked in here first. Just as I did when I first walked into the hotel suite." She stated with a raise of her brow, and his smirk deepened. "I just happen to be the owner of this pub and that room was booked under my name. So Ms. Jade, are you following me?" He asked again, and her eyes widened slightly. A hearty chuckle vibrated her chest and he raised a brow.

"Seem’s like you have composed yourself from the morning. Because as far as I remember, you were flushed!" She asked in a low voice and watched the way his Adams apple blobbed.

"You had taken me by surprise, never in my life had I met such a bold woman like you! But I have composed myself now." He stated with a proud smirk.

"Good for you!" She uttered as the edge of her lip curled up into a smirk. At that moment, the bartender placed her drink in front of her.

"Hier ist dein getränk, schöne." he said, to which she smiled.

(Here's your drink, beautiful,)

"Danke schön." Her eyes widened and she moaned at the taste as she took up the glass and sipped the liquor. Through the corner of her eyes, she could see him gripping the edge of the bar. "Dies ist ohne Zweifel einer der besten! Danke!" She said

(Thank you,) (This is without a doubt one of the best! Thanks!)

"Mein Vergnügen, wunderschön!" The bartender grinned and winked.

(My pleasure, gorgeous!)

"Könnte ich noch etwas für Sie besorgen?" He inquired, and Ophelia raised her head to respond. But she was silenced when Onyx spoke up.

(Anything else I could get for you?)

"Wie wäre es, wenn sie mir meine bestellung holen getränk, während Sie die anderen bedienen, die warten?"

His smile faded in the face of Onyx's stern remarks, and he excused himself with a small bow of his head to prepare the orders of others. Ophelia's brow furrowed at his sudden sterility and change in attitude. She noticed him motioning for another bartender to come forward and serve them.

(How about you grab me my drink while you serve the others who are waiting?)

The bartender quickly handed him his Jägermeister, and as he sipped leisurely from the glass, he occasionally glanced at Ophelia, who sat silently. She quickly gulped down her drink and set the glass on the counter.

"Ich hätte gerne einen Scotch, bitte." She placed her order, and the bartender nodded and moved forward to prepare her drink.

(A scotch please.)

Onyx's brows were scrunched as he stared at her. She lifted her brows in question and shifted her eyes to him.

"What?" She inquired. "You shouldn't drink so much, Captain." He remarked this while sipping from his glass.

"And why is that exactly Mr. Reighs? Would you like to elaborate?"

"I think you shouldn't drink and fly." He responded casually.

"I'd be completely sober by the morning for my return flight to Hawaii." She reached out her hand to take the glass the bartender had placed in front of her. However, Onyx's hand seized hers, preventing her from bringing the glass to her lips. He leaned forward,

"If you were mine, I would have made sure you couldn't sit for a week for defying me, but you are not." He whispered and her eyes widened,

"Maybe this is why I’m not. And I don’t like being ordered around.” She said as she picked up the glass in her other hand but his palm seized her hand once again. With a slight jerk he pulled her closer.

"You might be sober the next morning, but I don't prefer having my pilots drunk and hungover." His voice was low as his slightly darkened eyes glanced at her slightly parted lips.

"What do you mean, your pilot?" she asked, the tip of tongue sinfully grazed her lower lips and his grip on her wrist slightly tightened drawing a hoarse breathy low moan from her lips. His breathing got ragged but he quickly composed himself, suppressing the desire to devour her.

"My pilot, who flew my plane, who would fly my plane, who works for me, to fly my plane," He replied casually, and she chuckled

"I'm not your pilot, just so you know! I don't work for you."

"You flew my plane yesterday and will continue to do so in the future. Captain Jade, you are my pilot." His voice was low while he spoke.

"I just flew you and your tiny plane here because it was requested of me.” She said and swatted his hand away and gulped down the scotch. He leaned back against the bar counter and spoke quietly as he sipped his drink.

"Captain, I'll see to it that your order is stretched to my liking." He set his now-empty glass on the counter and told her good night with a wink and a smirk.

"Ms. Jade, good night. Drink plenty of fluids and get plenty of rest. I'm looking forward to meeting you soon and like I said before, I look forward to fly with you soon." She chuckled and shook her head.

“Give me break, will you? I just want to go enjoy the time I have in Hawaii.” She said and his eyes turned to her. He hummed and leaned in closer. Suddenly an idea played in his mind and he suggested.

“How about I take you to Hawaii? As a friend!” At his words Ophelia chuckled and a smirk coated her lips.

“A friend?” She raised a brow and Onyx chuckled. Ophelia placed some cash on the counter and stood up.

“I think I’ll pass on that. Have a good night Mr Reighs.” With a smile she started to walk out of the pub but felt his footsteps following her.

“Why are you following me Mr Reighs?” She asked turning around and Onyx pushed her against the wall. A gasp left her mouth as her eyes widened. He stared at her face, memorising every detail and after a while he muttered.

“You are beautiful.” Ophelia raised a brow and Onyx smiled.

“I’ll see you tomorrow. Good night, Captain.” With that he pulled back and walked away. A moment passed by and Ophelia’s phone vibrated with a new notification. She took out her phone and saw a new email. She opened the email and rolled her eyes.

“Typical arrogant billionaire.” She grumbled and slipped her phone inside her pocket before walking away.

As he said, he stretched her schedule to his liking and she was to fly him to Belgium.
