His words made me look at him with wide eyes. Only one thing came to my mind.

Doomed. 

My heart was pounding so fast in my chest after hearing his words. I brought this situation on myself. I just wanted him to admit that he was jealous of him. That he has always been jealous of all the boys who came near me. I just wanted him to admit it but I chose the wrong timing. I tried to put him in the situation but the one who is in the situation is me. He was not letting my wrist go out of his tight grip as I tried to get out of his hold to run back to the table. But he was not letting me go. 

"Can we go and continue eating our dinner? I'm still starving" I said in my pleading voice to make him stop. I bit my lower lips as those words came out of my mouth because we were already done with our dinner and dessert too. What a stupid reason I came with. Listening to my words he halted suddenly making my forehead clash with his hardback. I hissed a bit as my forehead clashed with his back. Then he turned and looked at me with that evil look in his light brown eyes. It made me gulp audibly. 

"Please" I pleaded to him for the first time in my life as that look in his eyes was giving me bad chills all over my body. Instead of saying anything his light brown eyes darken. His predatory eyes moved all over my small frame making it shiver under his dark gaze. 

"The only person starving here is me and today will be the last day I starve," he said in his evil voice and it made my eyes widen with this unknown fear spreading in my whole body. 

My legs wobbled after listening to his words. His words were full of so much intensity that I don't know what to do now.  I wanted to run away but my legs kept rooted to my place. It was hard to break eye contact with him as he was consuming me with it. But somehow I turned and looked back at Arron who was still looking at us. I looked at him with pleading eyes for help but he just waved at me with his wine glass which he grabbed from a passing waiter with a smirk on his face. 

God, what is happening in this world. 

Did he purposely make me laugh to make Jack more piss? 

The grim expression on Jack's face has thickened as he saw me pleading to Arron with my eyes. His grip became more strong on my wrist and It was a clear signal of danger. I was still looking at Arron when Jack pulled me towards him and kissed me hard, getting me off guard. My eyes widened more as he started kissing me dominantly. He moved his wet lips on mine with each dominating stroke as if telling me something. I could taste wine and it was making me intoxicated too. 

I tried to take my face back as I saw many people looking at us as he was kissing only a little away from the dance floor. I tried to take my face away before I could do it. He moved his hand in my head, not letting me break the kiss. He kept kissing me until I was on the verge of fainting. Only then did he let go of me making me gasp for air. I looked at him through my eyelashes still breathing heavily. He smirked looking at my face. He lifted his hand and moved his thumb pad on my red kisses lower lip. 

"It's just starting my wild cat," he said, making me choke on my breading air. "Come let's go, we have a long night ahead," he said looking straight in my eyes and then he turned to take my hand again in his hold to move with him. His words made me walk with him with my wobbling legs. My heart was wildly beating under my rib cage. I turned my head here and there to find something but I found people looking at us and then their gaze became fixed on my face making my cheeks burned in redness. I lowered my eyes as I saw them whispering while looking at us. He was taking me towards the elevator ignoring everyone's unusual gaze on us. He was not a bit affected by it. He is taking me back to our suite to do all the evil things in his mind. 

Nina Rogers' brace yourself there will be no escape for you! 

My inner voice said abruptly and my heart started to pound more. I wanted to bury my heels on the floor to stop him if it was even possible but to my dismay, nothing was working because he just kept taking me away with him. It was becoming a little difficult for me to walk at his pace with my long evening gown. I took a hold of it and lifted it to match his pace or else I will fall flat on my face making myself timid than I'm all ready now. We stood in front of the elevator with him holding my waist possessively making my front get attached to his side in a tight embrace. I looked at him from under my eyelids and regretted it immediately. 

His jaw is still thick with a hard look on his face. To my dismay, the elevator arrived soon and I breathed in relief when I saw the people we're standing in. I don't want myself to be alone with him in the elevator at this moment. We stood in front of people with him still holding me in his tight embrace as if I will run away any moment he takes his hands away from me. Well, he is not wrong. I will try my best to run away from him with my wobbling legs. With all these thoughts running in my brain I subconsciously lift my eyelids to look in front. 

My heart almost ran away from my chest as I saw him looking at my reflection in the golden inner coating door of the elevator. He was reading every expression as he always does. I lower my eyes as a shiver passes to my spine. One by one all the people were getting out of the elevator on their floor making a lump form in the base of my throat. The last person got out of the elevator leaving us two only alone in the elevator. I was bracing myself with my eyes close for whatever was waiting for me. As soon as I heard the ping of reaching out to the floor. Jack let go of my waist from his tight embrace and even before I could breach in relief my legs lost contact with the floor and I was hoisted on his hard shoulder. 

"Jack," I cried out for God's sake to make him let me down but in return, I got a smack on my rear making me shut up as a low gasp left my mouth. He continued taking me to our room as I kept trashing my legs. As we reach our room he slams shut it and the next thing I know I was pressed to the closet and pinned to it with his hard body with his hands in my hair making me look in his dark desired fill light brown eyes. My body shivered as he moved his light brown eyes all over my face. 

"Jack" I again tried to say something but I was not able to come up with anything. The desires in his eyes were so raw that my body shivers just by looking into his eyes. He lifted his hand and caressed my red cheeks with the back of his fingers. I closed my eyes as I felt the sparks his small touch had created on my pale skin. Only my heavy breaths mixed with him could be heard in the silent room. I felt his warm breath fanning on my red cheeks causing me to stop my hands from stopping myself from touching him. 

I don't even know how this urge even came into me. The reason for my urge to touch him back is I want to see if he feels the same as I feel when he touches me. 

Does his heart also palpate fast when I come near him? 

Does he feel the same sparks when he touches me? 

Does he too feel a tingling sensation and butterflies in his stomach when I look at him as I feel when he looks at me every time with light brown eyes? 

Does he feel like running away and staying near me at the same time? 

All these my answered questions we're riding in my heart. I badly wanted to know the answer from his mouth but I feared. I fear to know all I feel is one side he feels nothing towards me and from all the past encounters he has said that I'm the ugliest person and it makes me even more afraid to find the answer to those questions. 

What if his answer is no after listening to all my questions? 

What if he laughed at my stupidity for feeling for him like this. 

What if for him having me was just the act to show the world that he is my husband and at his disposal. 

All these thoughts pinch my heart so bad and I didn't know what to do next. My all thoughts were making all my emotions and feelings mixed up and jumbling, piling them up in me making my heart heavy pay each breath I take. My heart became so heavy with all these answered questions burdens making them sink in my stomach. He slowly moved his face towards mine making my heartthrob loudly. It was this loud even he could hear it. All my fears all my anxiety strikes in me. Once he looks at my naked body he will reject me after all he has always said I look ugly to him. 

Still breathing heavily l opened my eyes slowly to look at him. Even though he was evil by nature he was so handsome by outer appearance. Some as handsome as he will ever desire me were pushing me more in my delusional bubble and I know it will soon burst to make me shattered into innumerable pieces. He moved his face more near me and that anxiety of all my years took over me. It made me turn my face away for him. His lips landed on the corner of my lips as I decided to reject his nearness. Maybe this is the only way of stopping myself from stopping me from getting more hurt. He made me lower my eyes as I couldn't stand his gaze anymore. 

"Nina" he called my name as if tasting it on his tongue for the first time. There was an edge to his voice as he called my name. 

"Look at me Nina," he said in a demanding voice as I still refused to look at him. 

"Look at me cupcake," he said and this time his voice sounded pleading. There was something in his voice that made me obey him for the first time. 

"Do you want to do it or not with me?" he asked bluntly, making me gasp as he put my thoughts in his words. 

"You don't want me to touch you or even come near you," he asked again, making me just look at him with wide eyes. My throat clogged with a big lump forming at the base of my throat making it difficult for me to speak anything. I didn't know how to reply to him. Not getting an answer for any question his face hardened and a hurt look spread in his light brown eyes. It made my heart clench. 

His light brown eyes moved all over my face. Looking at my face he concluded my answer and an angry hurt smirk crossed the corner of his lip. He immediately let go of me as if touching me for a single second will burn him. Something twitched in me at the loss of his contact. His jaw clenched as he still kept looking at me with his hard light brown eyes. He moved his head in bitterness with the same sore look in his eyes. I couldn't have him looking at me with that look in his eyes. It made me more afraid than getting myself shattered into pieces. He turned around as if he couldn't bear looking at me and I couldn't bear him going away from me. Before he could even take one more step away from me I hugged him from the back not letting him go away. His body went stiff as my hands wrapped around his waist stopping him. 

"Let me go," he said in his heavy restraining voice and I moved my head as a tear slipped from the corner of my eyes. I knew from his voice he was controlling himself. I sniffed, still moving my head in denial. I don't know when he made me so addicted to him. I couldn't even bear him not looking at me or touching me. These were things I hated most about him but now if he won't do those things to me I'm feeling as if some part of me is getting crushed. 

"If you don't let me go then don't blame me for my actions," he said in his same restraining voice and it made me tighten my hold on his waist. Next, I know he removed my hand and pulled me in front of me. He cupped my face and looked me straight in the eyes. 

"There will be no going back cupcake so stop me now," he said in his pleading voice making my heartbeat wild but I was far gone away from it. I tipped and smashed my lips to him as more tears slipped from the cover of my eyes and he didn't waste time wrapping his one hand around me and then in my hire kiss me fervently. I don't know why I chose this path or I'm going right or wrong. I don't know. I have chosen to let my guards down for him. I don't know this path will take me to my self-building or my self-destruction. 

The only thing I know if I choose him over all my insecurities.
