"Look it's... yes" She admitted "you're right I told him to say all those things to you but-"

"Do you have any idea what this text would have done to me had I not been here?" He asked his tone low and angry.

​​

"That's why I wanted to delete it, I mean you're al-"

"That is not the point Jessie! Even reading this with you right here in front of me still scared me, do you think this is funny?"

Jessie sighed "I don't know why you're getting so angry I didn't mean any thing malicious by it." She defended herself.

"Horrible news sir, Jessie's been in an unfortunate accident." He recited the words of the text and Jessie shut her eyes.

"She was discovered and all her bodyguards killed. She's been trying to reach you all morning so she called me, she's currently being kept hostage by-"

"Alright enough. It appears butler Choi has quite an imagination. Look I just wanted to-"

"Is it really this easy for you to play with my emotions? Did you even care about how I'd feel? Do you think it would be easy to swallow such a joke?!" He yelled squeezing her arms tightly that she bit her lips and shut her eyes tightly to survive the pain.

All she was supposed to be thinking of right now was how shirtless he was and how low that towel hung of his waist, but instead he was acting so deranged almost to the point that she was beginning to get scared.

"Jason" she breathed out but he wasn't listening to her right this moment, all he saw was his incompetence as a son and now as a man.

"Why would you make me so scared? Are my feelings that big a joke or do you think this is funny as a prank?" He continued. This past few days have been both stressful and sleepless for him. He finally had and outlet and poor Jessie was the emotional punching bag today.

"Hey, why are you overreacting? It was a harmless joke." She said, her voice small and shaky.

Jason looked at her in shock first before he began to laugh scornfully. "What do you think would happen to me if you got hurt?" He shook her. "I'm already treading on thin ice trying to cope with the fact that I killed my mother, the only woman I loved for so long. Can you imagine what would happen to me if I lost you too? If I couldn't protect you?!" He screamed.

Jessie stared at him with so much empathy. It was obvious the pain he felt it was in his eyes. He killed his mother? Immediately she remembered two nights ago when she ran into his room, he was mumbling and crying out for his mother. Was this the reason he looked so broken and unguarded? She made a terrible mistake. But still his grip on her arms was getting unbearable, she would probably have bruises there.

"You're... y-you're hurting me." She said in a soft voice, that being the only thing she could think off.

Jason's eyes widened slightly and he immediately let go of her arm. Turning around he ran his hands through his hair and Jessie could not help but marvel as his back muscles moved in response to even the slightest movement.

"Pack your things, just necessary things you'll need." He said.

"What? Why? I'm I going somewhere?" She asked.

"Yes, to another safe house." He stated frankly.

Jessie stared at him without words for a moment before she finally spoke. "I don't understand, why I'm I going somewhere else? This place is fine. ... is this because of what just happened? I hate to say this again but you're overreacting!" She huffed her temper also beginning to rise.

Jason turned around with the scariest look in his eyes. "It wasn't a request."

She pulled her bottom lip into her mouth, wetting it. "I know I said I would trust your decision but I don't think I can agree with this, you can't just cart me away to another place just because we had a fight."

Jason huffed, "look I don't have the patience for this right now, just do as I say."

"No!" She huffed angrily.

"What did you just say?"

"No, I said no. I'm not going anywhere and this is not me being stubborn I'm dead serious."

Jason gritted his teeth his temper flaring he stalked towards Jessie so fast that she was already trapped by the wall as he approached her, with such a predatory glare. It made goosebumps erupt all over her skin, especially where he was just holding.

Jason slammed him fist aganist the wall right beside her head, causing Jessie to flinch.

"Don't push me Jessie, don't."

Tears began to fall from her cheeks in frustration and helplessness. "I'm not going! I refuse to allow you push me away!" She screamed.

"What?" Jason looked down at her crying face and tried to understand her statement.

"You think I wouldn't notice? You brought me here and after the first day I didn't see or hear anything from you. You wouldn't even answer my calls and you're not... look at the state you're in." She cried. "You can't even sleep."

Jason eyes immediately lost all the anger and was immediately replaced with such softness.

"Jess." He said softly.

"You promised me you would, we would help each other get over our nightmares but you just left, without a word." She continued.

And as she scolded him, he realized that the text was really not anything malicious, she just wanted him to come back.

"Are you still having nightmares?" He asked softly.

Jessie rolled her eyes and pushed his chest. "Not me, you! You think I wouldn't find out? Look at th- hmmph." He slammed his lips aganist her and pulled her closer to himself.

Jessie tried to push him away, she was not done talking! But he held the fists that pressed aganist his chest and held both hands above her head.

Preview 185 :Achingly painful need.

Sure she was a virgin but she was by no means innocent, she had had more heated moments with other men before, maybe because her job required it? But a body she had known her whole life suddenly became foreign to her, it only understood this achingly painful need that could only be quelled by the man that currently had her pinned aganist the wall.
