After the wonderful kiss, we kept staring at each other, hands interlocked with each other, afraid to let go. The whole world was long forgotten. Right now, only Ethan mattered, his presence, his gaze, his cinnamon aftershave, just him.

"We should go inside." Ethan said after a moment of silence.

I hummed in response, not really willing to go back in the crowded box called the club but the others will most probably wonder where I am.

Ethan and I both left the small alley hand in hand. I still can't believe what just happened, but there is another thought that is really pestering me right now. What are we? We are not sharing the employee and employer relationship right now, that is for sure, but neither we are friends nor we are a couple. Gosh, this is so annoying.

My thoughts were pushed back when I heard the music becoming louder and louder with each step we were taking and soon we were inside The Cave and sill no sign of Mari and Ryan.

Oh my God, I just hope she is not doing the deed in some toilet! But that's Mari, anything is possible with her. But she's so gonna get it once we get home.

"Do you want a drink?" Ethan shouted. I nodded unable to really answer due to this loud music. Damn, why did I agree to come to such a place where people are acting worse than animals! I swear I saw a couple nearly doing it on the dance floor, can't they even restrain themselves or a simply get a room. Ethan dragged me to the bar and ordered one glass of water. Water, really? I looked at him suspiciously.

"You need to drink the water, you've had enough of alcohol in your system already." He said authoritatively. The bartender seemed quite disappointed when he saw me enter the bar with Ethan. I mean I did not even show him that I was interested. But what really annoyed me was the way these girls were eye raping Ethan. Gosh, they were shamelessly checking him out as if they were trying to imagine how he would be in bed! You're all probably wondering how I know that. Well, if I had once thought that, don't you think these excited ladies would? But I need to admit though, the girls were really gorgeous, perfect body shape, perfect make up, damn, I swear God has really been unfair to me. Here I was, a mess sitting on the bar stool next to a Greek God with make up all over my face. However what I really appreciated was that Ethan did not even spare a second glance at those blonde goddesses, all his attention was solely on me and those giddy feelings were back. I wonder what would have happened if he was not there to protect me. But what was he doing here in the first place, as far as I know I invited Ryan over not him.

"Why are you here?" I asked putting the glass of unfinished water back on the table.

"What do you mean why I'm here?" Ethan's brows furrowed. Damn, he even managed to look cute when he's not understanding something.

"I mean, I invited Ryan so why are you here?" I elaborated on my question.

"Oh, I was supposed to drive him back." He explained. Somehow, I had a feeling that he was hiding something from me and I'm sure there's no way I will find out because that's Ethan we are talking about, he's worse than a safe, so hard to unlock! "But aren't you happy that I'm here?" His face still serious, this question demanded to be answered, the tone of his voice said it all.

"I—

"Mari, babygirl, where have you been, I looked for you everywhere!" I turned towards the voice which ruined my conversation with Ethan. Mike looked as if he had just ran a mile, he was sweating so hard. I feel slightly bad, he could not even enjoy his night because of me. I got off my seat and rushed towards him to apologize.

"Oh, Mike, I'm so sorry, I didn't inform you before leaving. I was just taking some fresh air outside." I explained

"That's okay babygirl, you're safe, that's more important." Mike cupped my face in both his hands. That was so sweet of him.

"Aww, Mikey's a softie." I said in a baby voice, pinching his cheeks.

"Only for you, babygirl." Mike said intently. That was the first time I saw Mike looking so seriously at me. I think that was the alcohol speaking for him. What was wrong with him? "Anyways, want to dance?" Mike changed the mood and started to drag me to the dance floor. I did not have time to answer.

"No, she will not dance." Someone else answered for me. Well there's no need to guess who it is, the commanding voice said it all. I turned towards him and boy the look he was giving me really sent chills to my spine. Someone was clearly not happy. His eyes said it all. Due to the ever changing neon lights in the club, Ethan was sometimes blue, red, yellow and green. The green colour reminded me of Hulk and this Hulk seems to have already killed me in a million ways in his head. Shit, where was the Ethan who pleasured me half an hour ago?! This one seemed really like a beast.

"Come here, Desiree." Ethan beckoned. Any other person would not have understood what he was trying to say but to me his expression demanded me to be there by his side. I quickly detangled myself from Mike and made my way to him. I peeked at him from my lashes. Shit! He was really furious to the power of infinity. Oh Earth Mother, kindly swallow me, I prayed.

Once I was next to him, Ethan swiftly snaked his arm around my waist and pulled me even closer to him. Oh boy, that was a bit hard. I could see Mike's expression change from a shocked one to a confused on then to an angry one. What the hell?! So many emotions in one second. Wow! Oh boy, Mike's hand was formed in a fist. If he is even thinking of having a fight with Ethan right now, it would be pointless, Ethan would crush him into pieces without even trying hard. I looked at Mike pleadingly, begging him not to do anything stupid right now. Thank goodness he understood my message because his hands loosened a bit.

"It's time for Desiree to go home." Ethan told Mike leaving no room for further talks. It was time for me to go home? Well, I guess it was.

"What about Ryan?" I asked worriedly.

"I'll have a driver drop them home." Them? Oh, Mari and Ryan. I hope Mike gets a lift too.

Mike walked towards me. "Take care babygirl, I'll call you." Mike said and kissed me on the cheeks. Ethan tightened his hold on me. Damn you Mike!

"Bye, Mike." I smiled at him. Ethan and I made our way towards the door of the club. Here I thought I would be having the time of my life, but I guess life had other plans for me like nearly getting raped by a drunkard, my best friend nearly attacking my employer. Shit, shit, shit!

We finally got out of the club and thank god Ethan's SUV was not too far from the club. I was really tired to walk. During our walk to the car, Ethan kept his hold on my waist but he was not saying a word. I knew better than to ask him what was wrong with him. Don't want to awaken the beast once again!

"Get in." He ordered once we were by his car.

I got in and took a deep breath. The inside was really warm and it smelt like Ethan, my drug. Ethan jogged to the driver's side, got in as well and started the engine without saying a word. I swear this silence is killing me. The only thing that was keeping me sane right now was the toxic smell of Ethan. In all ways, he will be the death of me.

The ride home was real quick but what really shocked me is that we were not at Marisa's but we were back to his place. Today is supposed to be my day off. Ethan turned off the engine and started to get off the car when I decided to ask him why I was here

"Um, you, I mean I, um—" Damn it Desi, can't you even form a grammatically correct sentence.

"Just get off, will you?" I swallowed a lump in my throat. Why does he have to be so rude to me, what did I do wrong now?!

I got off the car and made my way towards the front door. I was about to knock when Ethan coldly said that no one was home and he opened the door for me to get in. now, it's high time for me to start getting scared. No one was home, I would be alone with the beast. I have no idea what he would do to me and—

The loud bang of the front door made my jump from my place. I turned towards the noise and saw Ethan shaking, really shaking. His jaw was clenched, hands formed in fists, eyes dark with fury. My breath hitched. He took small steps towards me, just like a lion stalks the lamb until he was few inches away from me. This side of him really terrified me.

"What is he to you?" he asked dangerously in a low voice.

"A-A friend." I stuttered.

"A friend?" He boomed. I jumped in fear. "A friend who calls you babygirl?"

"Ever since he met me, he's been calling me that." I replied honestly. By now I was trembling like a leaf. I have never seen Ethan this angry.

"Oh yeah?" He laughed bitterly, taking predatory steps towards me. "Why did he have to kiss you, then?" He was back to being cold.

"It was just a friendly gesture." I explained looking at him dead in the eyes. This will show him that I'm not lying. I can't believe this man doesn't have enough trust in me and how foolish I was to have myself pleasured by him.

"Just a friendly gesture? You expect me to believe that?" I guess this was a rhetorical question. "That boy is in love with you and you tell me it's just a friendly gesture?" What?! Mike in love with me? No way!

"You're mistaken. Mike is like a brother to me." Yes, Mike is like a brother to me, I mean this is how I saw him, but I guess he did not see me the same way. Shit! When will my life get easier?! "And why do you care?" I raised my voice to a higher octave. I don't care what he thinks but now, I was sick of this pointless argument.

"I am a man and I've seen the way that boy looks at you Desiree and it's not in a brotherly manner." Ethan laughed humourlessly. Now he was inches away from me looking at me with the same passion he was looking when we were in the alley. I could feel warmth and anger radiating from me and boy did that excite me so much.

Ethan moved his hand to cup my neck and used his other hand to pull me roughly against him so that I could not escape. He moved his head to my neck and started dropping light pecks all the way to my jaw. What was wrong with him? One moment he is roaring like a lion and now he is torturing with his kisses. I arched my neck to give him more access but he held the base of my neck strongly so that I remained still.

"Do you like him?" Ethan murmured huskily, still sucking on the sweet spot of my neck. How does he expect me to answer when he's doing this to me? I did not answer, I could not answer since I was already drowned in the clouds of pleasure he was giving me.

"Answer me." he commanded, sucking hardly on my neck. I cried out of pain. This was definitely going to leave a bruise tomorrow.

"I-I, ahh" I moaned out loud at his actions.

"I'm still waiting for an answer, Desiree." Ethan lifted me in his arms and moved his head to the other side of my neck. I wrapped my legs around him and moved my hands to his neck pulling him closer to me. I felt him walking and soon I felt a soft material beneath me which I'm guessing is the couch, with him on top of me and my legs still wrapped around his waist.

I felt his hands move towards the south of my body and soon he removed my panties once again and he swiftly inserted one finger into my opening, pumping back and forth making me gasp loudly.

"I asked you a fucking question, Desiree." Ethan said in a hoarse voice and he rapidly added another finger inside of me, quickening his pace. Here I couldn't handle one finger and now he's tormenting me with another one.

"I-I... He... No," I kept saying incoherent words, unable to answer correctly due to the sweet pleasure and torture he was giving me. His fingers were pumping faster and faster such that I couldn't take it anymore, I wanted to scream but knowing him, he would not let me come unless he demanded it.

"You what?" He added another finger filling me completely. I could notice his trend, with each question he could add another finger, punishing me for not answering him. Gosh this felt so good yet it was such an agony.

"I...I don't like... Ahh" My hands were now pulling my hair out, I was so unable to take this anymore. Gosh. "I can't answer you... not when you're... ahh doing this to me." Finally, I managed to say something comprehensive.

"I'm not going to stop, not until you tell me what I want to know,Desiree." Ethan said challengingly. Damn him! I want him to stop yet I want him to keep on pleasuring me.

Ethan started to rub my sweet spot which made me cry at the top of my lungs. I should thank the Lords that no one was here. "Oh, God Ethan!" I shook at the ecstasy he was giving me. I was in paradise right now. "I don't... oh my gosh" I panted but still tried to continue my sentence "like him that way." Very good, Desi, my inner voice congratulated me. I managed to say what I've been trying to say for the past half hour.

"Whom do you like, Desiree?" Ethan asked roughly, there was a hint of demand yet satisfaction in his tone. He pushed his fingers deeper inside me, making it impossible to answer right now. This action had my eyes roll back 180 degrees and my body was so ready to climax.

Using all my will power I managed to answer, "You, I like you Ethan... I need you... I-I want you." I cried out. I couldn't take it any longer now. "Please Ethan." I begged.

"Come." Ethan said hoarsely. I lost no time to explode in his hand, my second orgasm in the same night tearing me apart. Ethan muffled my cry by kissing me roughly. I was so overwhelmed by all these sensations that tears started falling on my cheeks.

"Ssshh, it's alright, baby." Ethan murmured softly as he kissed away all the tears from my cheek. He carefully removed his fingers from my opening, making me wince a bit. He got off from me and sat normally on the couch and pulled me carefully so that I was straddling him now. I closed my eyes and rested my head on his chest while he was rubbing my back. I was still panting as if I just ran a marathon. Both of us were quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were my pants, his heart beat which was like a lullaby to me and the ticking of the clock in the kitchen. I wonder what time it is.

"Are you okay?" I heard him say after a long quiet pause. I simply nodded, since I had to strength to answer any of his questions now. "Look at me." Ethan ordered. I lifted my head from his chest and looked at him. There were so many emotions running in those dark orbs right now, which I could not figure out. Perhaps if he hadn't worn me out so much, I would have been able to but not right now.

"Do you really want me Desiree?" he asked looking at me intensely. My exhaustion, my sobs were all gone. This question startked me. do I really want him? I looked carefully at his face, he seemed to be really interested in my answer. My response could change everything between us. Do I want that to happen though? Do I want him to know that I want him? However, the look on his face told me everything that needed to be told.

"Yes, Ethan, I want you." I replied as confidently as possible. I did not even blink my eyes when I answered. I did not want anything to come in between my answer right now. Ethan's eyes twinkled with an emotion that I could not even decipher. But my answer sure made him extremely happy and satisfied.

"Good, because I want you even more." He rashly pulled me towards him and kissed me with everything he had. Through this kiss I realised how much both of us wanted each other. It is now that I understood how much we needed each other. Even if he was the lion and I was the lamb, even if he was the bright murderous flame and I was the moth, even if he was beast and I was the stupid girl, I would always want him. And the intensity in which I was kissing him said it all.
