I said, "Um, yeah, I suppose." But you still can't sit here, I'm very sorry.
Aaron guffawed. It was a pleasant laugh—simple and uncomplicated, unlike Eric's.
It's alright, he said. I enjoy standing.
I grinned. Aaron flew to the side just as I was beginning to feel that this flirting thing wasn't too horrible. I gasped in shock and sprang off my stool.
Oh my God, you're OK, right?
Eric was standing there, his right hand balled into a fist.He gave Aaron a sneer.
Through clenched teeth, Eric hissed, "Jane's spoken for." "She can't date you or anybody else," you say.
Aaron said, "What the heck, guy," rising to his feet and wiping his hands away. You're attempting to fight me?
Eric ignored him. When Eric moved in closer, the distance between our bodies vanished, and my heart skipped a beat.
I really need you, Eric remarked. You are mine.
Before I could reply, Eric had wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close. My stomach clenched in an uneasy knot of dread and need as he smashed his lips to mine in a searing kiss.
I quietly broke away, "I don't know what this implies," I replied. Although Eric's hypnotic sapphire blue eyes were mesmerizing, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was headed for disaster.
Eric squeezed my hand.He said, "I don't know, either. He gave me another kiss while stooping down. "However,I know that I can’t stand the sight of you with another man.He firmly kissed me and whispered, "Jane, you are mine.
When he held me, I melted. All I could say was, "Yours."
Eric POV
When Jane had left the office, I knew that I had to find a way to win her back. It wasn’t just that I’d made her cry – it was that somehow, magically, impossibly, I’d started to fall in love with her.
I was murderously enraged when I saw her chatting to another guy. I didn't mean to punch anyone, but that arrogant blonde f**k was going to be in trouble if he messed with my girl. And when Jane melted into my arms afterward, I knew it had been utterly and completely worth it.
Jane had her arms around my neck. She smelled a little like flowers and tequila, and I wondered why I’d never noticed how beautiful her green eyes were until that very moment.
I leaned down and nibbled her earlobe, saying softly, "You're lovely." Jane flushed before pushing her ass on me, which made my desire flare up.
“Susan!” Jane sobbed. She retreated from me. "This way!"
Through the throng was a slender, attractive girl. Her eyes widened as she turned to face me after looking at Jane.
Susan answered, "Oh. You have to be Eric.
I groaned. I scowled, "I take it I was a topic of talk before I came." s**t. They must have been berating me for being such a jerk. I seriously botched that one up.
Susan chuckled. Yes, she replied formally. "In fact, you were," she said. She gave Jane a short embrace after giving her a quick glance.
Jane, can we go someplace and talk?” I asked quietly.I mutely enquired. After blushing, she nodded. It was impossible for me to deny that a small worry bubble was developing inside of me as she and Susan said their goodbyes. I was well aware that what I was doing was a clear breach of my father's instructions, but I didn't give a damn. Jane was my one concern, and I only wanted to make her happy. I wasn't willing to make her weep, therefore I couldn't ever hurt her again.
