"I cannot believe you actually followed me all the way here." Jessie huffed as the car pulled to a stop in front of the restaurant where she was meeting Celeste.

"Why is that so hard to believe? I have to do this, the last time I let you out of my sight I literally had to save you from a crowd of angry people, throwing things at you." He stated firmly. "I'm totally going with you, I can't trust anyone with you."

​​

Jessie fought the urge to roll her eyes. "I'm made of stronger stuff you know." She jutted her chin at him.

"Well I'm not, so-" he gestured towards the already open door.

Frowning she exited the car, looking through her purse for her phone. How had she forgotten to inform Celeste about the unwanted and unexpected guest?

But she was too late when she saw Celeste waving her from the entrance, appeared like she was also just arriving. Giving her a weak smile she turned to Jason, who was just alighting the vehicle, looking like the definition of a hot, domineering and handsome. He even did the thing were he flipped his jacket and buttoned it while looking away slightly, exposing that sharp defined jawline.

Her breathing hitched, how had she never noticed how superior he was in contrast to other men? And she wasn't only talking about looks.

"So where is this woman? Why is she calling you out?" He asked as he finally reached her.

Jessie had to blink once, then one more time before she answered.

"She right behin- hmm? Where did she go?" She asked when she turned around and didn't see Celeste anymore.

Turning back to Jason, he also disappeared.

"What the he- oh?" She said when she saw him on the phone by his car. Turning back she began to wonder where Celeste had suddenly disappeared to. Unlike Jason she wasn't reappearing.

"I have to go." Jason deep voice disrupted her thoughts and she turned around to face him, a look of relief all over her face.

"You can at least try to not look to happy." He grumbled.

She shrugged still smiling at him. "As much as I enjoy your company, it such a drag to have you breathing down my neck whenever I go out. Besides I have no assurance that you would behave yourself, after all I'm meeting the woman your father cheated on your mother with." She said, laying such hard facts with a playful smile on her face.

Jason looked at her and shook her head. "I cannot believe you just said that and I'm oddly not bothered."

"You're not?"

"Of course I am!" He said suddenly, catching her off-guard. "Now that you pointed out the affair I'm even more reluctant to see you meet her, someone that seduces a married man is not a good person." He huffed.

And she smacked his chest, "don't push all the blame on her, you're dad was the married one." She pouted.

"Don't even get me started on him." Jason shook his head.

"I'm curious..." she said, stepping closer and folding her arms across her chest.

His brow lifted up in question "about what?"

"What kind of man your dad is?" She finished. "You don't seem to like him."

"I don't, and he's not a very good person so forget about him. It's already a bad sign on his part that he is the reason I have to leave." He almost sighed in ire.

"Oh? Then I should personally send my thanks don't you think?" She teased. "I'm not getting a bad impression of him."

The glare her sent her was enough to convey his message, so before those full pink lips could open up and tempt him any further he wrapped his hand around her slender waist and placed a soft kiss on her soft lips.

Immediately regretting the decision, because he wanted more, so he took more. Deepening the kiss he combed through her hair with his fingers. Nibbling on her lower lips, when she finally allowed him entrance he could not help the overwhelming desire as he plunged his tongue into her mouth to taste her.

Jessie's legs felt like jelly, so she grabbed unto his jacket to steady herself. Unable to stop the soft moan that escaped her throat. She finally wrapped her hands around his neck.

Reluctantly he pulled away, her disappointed gaze even making it harder for him to stay away.

"You should go." She said breathlessly.

"I should." He agreed. "I'll be back to take you."

She shook her head "uhm- uhm... just send a car." She said.

"Well Sebastian will stay with you then." He insisted.

She pouted "but he's your bodyguard."

"Exactly, he's currently the only person I can trust with you." He said.

"You know what, I don't even want to argue, fine. But don't come back for me, I'll take car. Okay?"

"Fine." He bit out, planting a soft kiss on her forehead her walked into the car, His bodyguard and two others escorting her back to restaurant.

**************************************************

Jason wore a tight frown as he was driven away, removing his phone to check if the bug he planted in her hair was working. It had both a tracking device and a listening device. He was paranoid yes, he wouldn't deny it. What was he supposed to do? She basically attracted trouble not to mention he was probably running mad. For some reason he was sure his mother was standing I'm front of that restaurant, even if it was just a glance he saw her. But how could his mother who was dead for almost fifteen years be standing in front of a restaurant?

It was actually quite alarming, he hadn't even been thinking of her. Was it because of the dream earlier? And he knew it was not real because the moment he blinked and looked again there was no one there. So it couldn't even be a look alike.

Sighing heavily he put in his ear pods, to distract himself. He would listen in on Jessie at least, that would give him slight comfort, if he could actually be sure of her safety.
