“Mr. Snow? Is there a problem?” Someone sitting in front of me asks. I don’t know who it is, I’m not focused on anything except Greg’s hand on Ella.

He’s fucking touching her.

“Meeting over. I gave you my directive, go do it.” A soft round of murmuring sounds in the air, but I’m not paying them any mind. I don’t care if they don’t like what I’m saying. I’m the fucking CEO and that means I can do whatever the hell I want to do with my company. If they want to complain they can do that shit on the street.

I rush out of the conference room and beeline straight for the two of them. “What the hell are you doing?” I snap at Greg and the smile he just had on his face falls off and is replaced by a mask of confusion.

“What? What do you mean?”

“Don’t play with me.” I say through clenched teeth. I move my eyes deliberately to his hand and then back to his eyes.

His eyebrows jump up to his hairline and he quickly moves his hand from her shoulder.

“What is going on here?” Ella looks between Greg and me.

“We just finished the tour in the non-fiction sector.” Greg says, taking half a step away from Ella. I guess I never really believed that he would actually try and move in on her, but just seeing his hand had sent me into a frenzy.

A jealous rage.

“Fine, go make sure they wrap that meeting up.” I tell Greg and reach down for Ella’s hand.

I pull her away from Greg and speed walk straight to my office.

“Percy, what is your problem?” Ella tries to rip her arm away from me, but I don’t let go. “Get off.” She hisses out.

I open my office door and pull her inside releasing her only when I know she can’t get away from me.

“What is wrong with you, Percy!” She crosses her arms over her chest, but I pay her no mind. I hit the button on the side of the door to change the clear glass walls of my office opaque. I lock the door and turn to look at her.

“You’re the one who told me to come back for another day of interviewing and now that I’m doing that you’re getting pissed off. I don’t underst—“

I cut her off before she can finish by slamming my mouth to hers. I pour every feeling inside into the kiss, because I know that it’s too soon to actually be feeling what I am. I’ve never longed for a life partner or wife, but now the thought of her with anyone else feels like a small knife twisting in my spine. Every thought twists the knife even more.

I inhale her breath and grip her hips hard enough I’m sure I’m going to leave a bruise.

I pull away, still not completely at ease, “Don’t do that to me.” I grunt.

“Holy cripes, what … I mean …humph”

She’s dazed. It makes me slightly happy to know that just my kiss has that effect on her.

“Don’t do what to you?” She asks once she clears her head.

“You and Greg looked very comfortable around each other. He was touching you. Pulling you close.” I grab the back of my neck and try to rub some of the tension away.

She squints her eyes at me and tilts her head slightly before she squeezes by me. She walks away seductively, but turns around before she gets too far, “Mr. Snow, do you think you have some sort of hold over me? You think because I’ve already bared all I am that you own me now?” I see her lips twitch slightly before she starts walking again this time I follow, like a lion stalking its prey.

“You know what you did. You did it on purpose.” I spit out.

She rounds my desk and stands right by the edge of it looking up at the large abstract art painting I have hanging on the wall. “I didn’t, but now that I know it’ll get this reaction, maybe I’ll do it again.”

I can’t believe she’s playing me like this. I can’t believe that I’m falling for it or that I like it. She’s drawing such strong emotions out of me unlike any other woman has done before. I walk around my desk and stand in front of her. Every muscle in my body is tense and when she turns back to look at me with that smirk still on her face I snap.

My hand shoots out and grabs the back of her neck. I push the paperwork and my laptop off my desk then drop her on top of it. Her skirt is pushed up and her nylons and panties are ripped off before she has time to gasp for air. I pull my cock out and drive right into her like my life depends on it.

“Oh fuck Percy!” Ella’s hands smack against my arms as she takes all of me. Her body barely having enough time to adjust to me before I’m rutting against her like a man crazed. I am a man crazed and she’s made me this way without so much as an argument.

I don’t know what it is about her that has me so on edge, but just thinking about another man’s hands on her even if it is my best friend is enough to have me snarling with jealousy. I don’t want anyone to touch her, only me. She’s all mine.
