A/N: Hehe sorry for the delayed update, but I've been busy with school coz my exam's are coming up soon... I like to thank all my reviewers & readers! Oh and I forgot to mention, Syaoran and Meilin are NOT engaged in this story and Meilin does not love Syaoran; they are merely just cousins. So pose no confusion when Syaoran jokes around with Meilin; he's only teasing her. :winx:
Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter and I'll update quicker if you guys give me more reviews k:3 I want at least another 20, 30 reviews by the next chapter plz!

WARNING: VERY VERY SLIGHT sexual references that might make some people uncomfortable... so here's my warning; dun come complaining to me if u were stupid enough to miss this. :sighs:

Chapter 3 – Forbidden Enchantment

"Don't you think you were a bit too hard on that new maid, Syaoran?" questions Meilin as she took a sip from her tea. "She didn't really do anything—"

Syaoran pulled down his glasses and gave her a long icy glare. "What I do to my maid is none of your concern." He hissed slightly as he continued typing on his laptop. "She looked through my stuff without my permission & so she deserved to be punished."

"But you aren't just gonna fire her for THAT, right?"

Syaoran smirked. "Of course not. The game hasn't even started yet." He leaned over the table and looked right into Meilin's ruby eyes. "And besides, why would I want to fire a innocent girl with a great body & an nice butt?" Wickedness gleamed in his amber eyes, his smirk grew wider.

"Oh Syaoran! Is that ALL you think about? In the last town, you had the worse reputation as the BIGGEST 'playboy' in town. You don't want that to happen again, ne?"

Syaoran walked over to Meilin, playful look in his eyes. "That's because... I know I can..." His hands touched her cheek. "get..." His breath moved closer against her neck. "any girl I desire..." His lip gently caresses her neck.

"Syaoran..." she whispers slightly before recoiling in embarrassment and pushing him away. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU BAKA? FOR GOD'S SAKE WE'RE COUSINS!"

Syaoran snickered slightly and looked at his cousin, her soft cheeks tinted with light shades of pink. "Yes... any girl I want..." He whispered, & before turning away, he offered Meilin a small wink as he proceeds out the door.

'I'll be waiting for you, Sakura.' He thought.

Sakura buried her head into the pillow as her pink alarm clock went off with a loud beep. She slammed her fist down onto the snooze button before collapsing back into the bed.

'Its going to be another awful day.' She thought as she moves her feet towards the floor. Her muscles ached & her hands were all sore & blistered. Struggling to pull herself up, she heads towards the shower.

She looked at the light red mark on her cheek. Her hands tickled against it, making her wince slightly. The mark was light, but the pain was still there. "Stupid bastard." she murmured softly under my breath. "If it wasn't for the good money, I would have been out of there in 2 hours FLAT." Grabbing her oversized sportsbag (to hide the maid costume from her brother), she headed off for another day of torture.

Sakura dusted the lamps and tables in the brightly decorated room. Meilin's room was definitely neater, not to mention that she would actually place all her clothes into the laundry basket like she was suppose to, and her bed was always made. Sakura straightened up her books, cleaned up her floor & opened the curtains to let the bright sunshine into the room.

"Hey Sakura!" waved Meilin as she happily skipped into the room.

Sakura turned around and smiled. "Good morning Miss Meilin."

Meilin chuckled. "Meilin will do, Sakura."

She nodded and smiled back. "So you are Syaoran's cousin, correct?"

"Hai!"

"You two are soooo different. He is a cold-hearted bastard & you are so genki and sweet."

Meilin giggled. "Hehe... well that's Syaoran for you... Actually he's gone to the headquarters for a meeting—"

Sakura's eyes grew wide open. "HOEE! HE OWNS A COMPANY?"

"Hai, it's the company his dad owns. It's a huge overseas trading company. He'll be back by tonight. Is it ok if you stay to keep me occupied tonight until he comes back?"

Sakura nodded slightly.

"What happened here?" Meilin caressed the sore red mark on her cheek, making Sakura wince a little. "Did Syaoran do that?"

"It... its nothing..." Sakura said, turning around and heads for the door.

Meilin sighed. "Actually I came here for a reason... I want you to becareful with Syaoran. He might get a bit out of hand sometimes. And I wouldn't want another maid running away from us, right?"

Sakura smiled. "Thanks for caring, but I'm sure I can handle him."

"So lets go get something to eat!" Meilin suggested as she dragged Sakura outside.

Sakura giggle gently. Spending the day alone with Meilin was great. Maybe working here wasn't such a bad idea after all...

:Sakura's POV:

I folded the last of my clothes back into my bag. It was almost midnight, and yet again, Touya's gonna be questioning me non-stop. Meilin had gone to sleep about an hour ago—but I stayed behind to finish the laundry, ready for tomorrow morning. Today was excellent—no stuff-ups, lots of fun & not to mention, no Master I-think-I'm-so-cool Syaoran.

"Why isn't it my little maid." A male voice appeared behind me, and I hear footsteps heading towards me.

"What are YOU doing here?" I growled a little. "This is my room and you can at least 'knock' on the door before you come in, Syaoran."

He snickered. "Since when did I give you the privilege to call me by that?" He walked towards me and his cold icy eyes stared right into mine's. "Its Master Syaoran. Know your place, maid."

"I. Have. A. Name." I snarled. Being addressed as 'maid'... stupid bastard, who does he think he is?

Syaoran advanced two steps towards me, grabbing my wrist roughly & pushing me right against the wall. "You do realised that since you're working for me, I have a right to do whatever I please?" he presses his face against my neck. "And I own you now, so behave."

I whimpered weakly against him. Is he taking advantage of me? "Syaoran-sama... Please stop..." my voice choked out in a fearful voice. I was frightened as his hands rested on my thigh, squeezing it tightly before teasing the trim edges of my denim skirt. His hands ran up my chest, fingers teasing the valley between them. I slightly arched up and sighed.

Why was I enjoying what he was doing? Why was it so hard not to moan when he touched me, like THAT?

Then I suddenly realised what he was doing. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU FREAKING HENTAI!" I yelled as I pushed him off with all of my remaining strength, grabbed my bag & ran for it.

Syaoran stood behind me, looking extremely cocky. "See you tomorrow, my little cherry blossom."

That was all I could take.

Fuck my commitment & screw the money. Tomorrow, I'm going to tell him that...

I QUIT!

TBC

A/N: hehe there goes the last of Sakura's sanity ' Don't blame her coz Syaoran ish being... pretty...um.…. :sweatdrops: hehe hope you enjoyed my chappie! Me will update soon as possible, ne? Here's a sneak preview:

SNEAK PREVIEW!

"What's wrong...? You know you loved it when I touched you yesterday..." said Syaoran in a cocky voice as he leans over the desk.

"Fuck you. I hate you Li Syaoran." I replied angrily. "Screw your job, I quit."

Syaoran smirked and cocked me an eyebrow. "Quit? I don't think so... I wonder what would happen when the whole town of Tomoeda knows that the infamous Li Syaoran has seduced the most 'innocent' girl in town." His smirk grew wider. "Then your reputation will be shattered & your brother will know that you disobeyed him to work here as a 'slave' for me."

"You wouldn't!"

"Just watch me, my little cherry blossom. Remember, I'm in charge here."
