Chapter 8

"Bye Miss Gorgeous! Don’t tell Jett I was here!" Dale said hastily before telling his cousin that they needed to split.
"Let's go! Hurry up!!" he ordered then they ran to the other side of the mall.
They were now walking to the direction of the parking lot on the left side of the mall. Jett entered on the other side so it would be too risky going to that direction. “What was that all about?" Chad asked.
"Dang cuzz! ! The way you were staring at her...!"
"Who wouldn't stare? She is gorgeous! Who is she?”
Dale glowered at him. "She is going to be my bad*ss friend’s girlfriend soon! So if you don’t want us to be beaten to a pulp especially me, forget her! She is not for you!” He said in an angry voice which made Chad frown.
(Jett’s POV)
Before he was able to find Ashley, two women came to him and asked his picture to be taken with them.
"Thank you Jett! You look hotter in person!” one of them said giddily.
The other woman had her eyes wide open while she gawked at him. He just nodded and smiled.
"I always buy the clothes you endorse for my brother! “ Woman number one said.
"Thank you. Stay safe you both okay? Bye.” He even waved at them before he walked towards the middle part of the mall.
He was wishing that no more female fans would come to him. Those ladies have keen eyes. He had dark sunglasses on and a cap but they still recognized him. He shook his head slightly while still smiling a little then he saw her at the center of the mall's ground floor. He cursed under his breath. His smile disappeared as he looked at her with his eyes squinted . Ashley’s eyes were on his too and she had a pretty smile which made his member make a small movement. She was really the most gorgeous and desirable woman he had set his eyes on. She was the only female who had made him feel this way and do things he hadn't imagined doing. He had never wanted anyone as much as he wanted her. He had never come close to loving a woman but what he felt for her was not only physical attraction. It was deeper. He had never pursued a woman and showered her with gifts. He only gave flowers to his mom and grandmothers. He had never abstain from s*x and resorted to pleasuring himself until her. He only craved fo her. If not with her he won't do it. He had his release while he looked at her candid photo which he took when they were in the resort. He would make sure once she agreed to be his, he was going to take his fill. His desire for her was escalating and he was almost on the verge of losing his control but he couldn’t. Not yet. He had never felt violent because of jealousy. He hadn’t been possessive until he met her.
He removed his eyes from her pretty face for a second or two to roam the mall. He felt relieved because most of the people were either elderly, couples with kids and teenagers. He couldn’t count the times when he wanted to hit men who were gawking or throwing her a glance. He hoped he could still control himself. His jaw clenched when he saw what she had on. She was wearing a white sleeveless top and skinny jeans. A little cleavage was showing. He balled his hands on his sides. He didn’t like it. He had to do something about it. He started walking towards her slowly as he took off his dark glasses.
(Ashley’s POV)
She couldn't stop frowning when she saw him. She was feeling jealous. He looked so hot even with a cap and dark glasses on. He wore them to disguise himself but those two women knew it was him. She sighed. He was really oozing with sex appeal. He was so tall and very good-looking. His hunky body and his tattoos on his arms added to his magnetic personality. His presence could be felt by anyone. The girls looked giddy while they took selfies with him and he had a sexy smile on his lips and appeared to be enjoying the attention. She almost gritted her teeth.
Stop that Ashley! He is a celebrity so he is just being nice to his fans! He told you that many times already didn’t he? Stop acting like a jealous girlfriend! She reprimanded herself.
She tried to paste a beautiful smile when his eyes found her. She lowered her eyes to hide what she felt while he was with his fans. She counted one to five before raising her eyes again. That was when he saw her. He removed his sunglasses as he took his time getting to where she was. She couldn’t help gasping a little. He was looking at her with intensity as usual but this time it was more extreme. He was somewhat branding her with his eyes. Strangely, she liked it.
"Love..." he murmured when he was a few feet from her.
She swallowed then moistened her lips which made Jett glance at them then her cleavage. His eyes which were half slits became narrower. She saw his Adam's apple moved and his breathing became a little ragged. He slowly raised his eyes to her lips. She almost let out a moan. They felt warm when he looked at them. It was like he kissed her. Her t*ts reacted too. She felt her n*pples hardened.
"Hello." he drawled and he came nearer.
She was almost holding her breath as she tried to mumble the word hi. She didn’t even know if he heard her. Actually she was not even sure if she was able to say it because her body felt so strange. Her heart was pounding now that he was so close to her. He smelled so good. She was wishing that he couldn’t her heart thumping.
"M-My sister is not coming with us. S-She has to meet someone." she stammered.
She saw his eyes glinted and his lips twitched upward to one side. She nipped her bottom lip. He became more sinfully good-looking!
"Let's get out of here. I want to be alone with you. I missed you." he suddenly said in a breathy voice and she just nodded as if mesmerized.
Something was definitely going to happen tonight that would change everything between them. They both could feel it. ***
She could hardly remember what they talked about during dinner. She wasn’t even sure if the food was delicious or not. Both of them felt the sexual tension between them while they pretended to enjoy their food and their chat. Now they were in Jett's car. He started the engine and switch on the air conditioner but didn’t turn on the music. She was sitting stiffly with her eyes on the dashboard. She swallowed a few times. Her hands felt clammy from nervousness. She had done a lot of thinking and she really checked her feelings towards him since a few days ago and she had a lot of realizations. She discovered that Jett was lovable. She might have hated his guts at the beginning but he had proven her wrong. It was not his fault that a lot of women wanted him . And with her, he had been real. Who wouldn’t fall for him? He was almost perfect. He had made her feel so special. He made a lot of effort for her family to like him for her. He was Jett Alejandre, every woman’s fantasy and he chose to woo her.
"Love, look at me." She heard him say.
Slowly, she transferred her eyes to him. Her breathing hitched when she saw the desire and longing in his dark ones. Her body hadn't been sexually responsive to any man. Yes she felt a bit giddy when she saw handsome men on tv or magazines but her body hadn’t reacted to any of them until two days ago. That was when Jett almost kissed her goodnight on the cheek when her sister left them in the car.
"I love you, I really do. I want to show you how much but I can't . You are not yet my woman and I don't want you to think that I am taking advantage. But suppressing all these feelings I have for you will probably make me insane if you won’t say yes really soon. What more do I need to do? I am yearning for you to love and want me like what I feel for you. All I am asking is for you to give me your heart. I will take care of it. I am longing to hold you and kiss you so you can feel how intense my emotions are for you. I love you. Would you be my woman?" he asked in a voice that sounded so emotional and sincere.
She couldn't seem to move nor speak. But her brain was aware that she felt so happy and giddy. She could feel her heart pounding and her eyes were a little watery.
He cupped her face and leaned closer to her. "I promise I will make you happy." He said in a husky voice.
His eyes went to her lips then he gazed at her features then back on her lips. "It will be just you...only you. Love will you be mine?" he asked .
Now his eyes are on hers. Only the faint sound of his car's engine and the humming of the air conditioner’s fan can be heard.
After a moment she found her tongue. "Yes." She said like a whisper.
She watched his reaction. His brows creased and his eyes became blank. His hold on either side of her face slackened. He moved his head back a bit and she frowned. Maybe he didn’t hear her answer.
"I said yes....hmmpppp!" she wasn't able to finish her sentence when he kissed her on the mouth.
It was a very intense kiss. He sucked and nipped her lips then his tongue tasted every corner of her sweet mouth. He held her steady by having his right hand behind her head and his other arm around her. She was n cloud nine. He was a great kisser. Her lips and tongue were in synch with his. She was not an expert in kissing but she gave her best. Both of them were out of breath when they stopped. He framed her face in his hands. He had a sexy grin.
"You made me so happy, Love! I love you!" he said before ducking his head to kiss her neck.
She closed her eyes when she felt his tongue on her skin. "Jett..." she complained when she felt him suck her neck.
She felt cold air on her skin where his lips were. He was frowning as he looked at her.
"From now on call me Love too. I don't want hearing you call me by my name except when we make love."
Her body reacted. "Okay...Love..."
A naughty smile broke his lips. "Say you love me.” He drawled.
"I love you." she said in a husky voice.
His eyes narrowed and darkened again. His smile disappeared. His hands on either side of her face tightened.
"I swear that I will kill anyone who will attempt to take you from me! You are mine now! All mine! Say that you are mine!" he ordered in a throaty voice.
She felt a little afraid with the expression on his handsome face and the glint which crossed his eyes but she couldn’t deny that she felt giddy too. This sexy, hot as hell though possessive man was her boyfriend now.
She put her hands on his which were on her cheeks. "I am yours, Love. I love you.”
His eyes became molten. "I want you!" He pressed his lips against hers
He kissed the upper part of her body from her neck to her cleavage then her n*pples which were still covered by her bra and top. They made out for a while. The sound of another vehicle honking separated them. He cursed under his breath when he had to release her. She swallowed a giggle when she saw frustration crossed his face for a second. He then leaned his back on the seat while he had a smile of triumph on his face. He was holding her hand.
"I won't forget this night, Love." he raised her hand then kissed it . "You can never escape me now." He joked but somehow there was a hint of a threat which made her feel a chill ran down her spine.
Then she saw something outside the car. And to mask her tense feeling she said, “I want flowers."
He turned his head to his left. He saw a woman selling flowers next to the restaurant where they dined in. He smiled and turned to her again. “Okay. Stay here." he said then kissed her hand before quickly getting out. She wanted to tell him to buy her white roses but he was already outside so she had no choice but to get off too. ***
Jett was paying the flower vendor when something made him want to turn his head to where his car was. He felt all the blood went up his head. Ashley was talking to two guys. One of them was holding something which he was showing her while the other man was looking at her breasts.
"This is the address and name of the shop." the man in green shirt said to Ashley where the address was written.
She was about to answer when the other man fell down and cried out in pain. Her eyes widened when she saw the angry face of Jett. Before she knew it, he smacked the man in green and he also fell on the ground. She was looking wide-eyed at the men who were writhing and moaning in pain when Jett yanked her arm and dragged her to the car. She had no chance to protests because everything happened so fast.
Before shoving her inside, he turned her to him. His face was red with anger." Didn't I tell you to stay inside?!"
Her mouth opened but no sound came out.
"F*ck! GET IN!!" he rasped.
