When he puts his hands on my waist, the skin under my clothes on those spots burn.
He tugs me closer, smirking, as
if he can read every thought in my head and it amuses him.
Defiance makes me maintain eye contact with him.
He grins, tugging me closer till I’m pressed against him. “Where do you want to go for dinner?”
His question throws me off. I was expecting him to maybe kiss me like he had before. Trapped in his hold, his hard body against mine, it’s getting really hard to think.
Was he always like this?
But I refuse to give in to whatever he’s doing so I try to regain control only to feel his hand slide down to settle on my hip in a possessive hold.
I’ve never had a man touch me like this, and considering the man in question is Jace, only makes it harder for me to focus. “Pizza!” I declare if only to escape his grip.
“All right,” he says, calmly. Then he immediately whirls me around so quickly that my breath catches. Now my back is pressed against his front and his legs are entwined with mine to prevent me from escaping. Once I’m completely trapped, he proceeds to pick up the file he had been looking at and flips it open, calmly reading through it, “I have to finish this first. Give me a few minutes.” He’s wrapped around me as if this is the norm. His chin is resting on my shoulder.
I’m completely still, not even daring to breathe. I can feel every inch of where he’s touching me and I have to fight the urge to whimper as my pussy clenches. “Jace,” I’m proud of the way my voice doesn’t waver.
“Hmm?” His breath is hot against my neck.
“What are you doing?”
“Reading,” he replies, innocently.
“Like this?”
“You smell nice.”
My cheeks immediately flare up at his words and I can feel his chuckle vibrate through my body. Embarrassed, I shoot him a suspicious look, my heart trembling at how close his face is to mine as he meets my gaze. “Are you sure you don’t have any experience dating?”
“Completely. But I never said I was a virgin, Halley.”
I freeze at his words. I suddenly realize how much trouble I’m in.

Jace
Seeing Halley surrounded by men has had me on edge for this past week.
I never thought I would be the jealous type but how can I not be—when the woman I can’t get out of my head is the most oblivious little airhead I have ever seen.
Well, not an airhead, I admit to myself guiltily. She’s extremely intelligent and quite sharp.
But when it comes to men she—The more I try to tell myself that she isn’t for me, the more men flock around her like hungry dogs.
I sat in my office day after day, finding excuses to walk around the corner and catch a glimpse of her, to glower at the men who flirted with her.
It took me three days to finally break and give in.
However, those three days had gone a long way in souring the relationship between me and this woman who was driving me crazy every time she smiled at a man who wasn’t me.
She’s breaking every rule I have set for myself, tearing down every wall I had built.
Now the only option left to me is to either tie her to myself now, or lose her.
