CHAPTER THREE

JASMIN

Oh God! Jason Knight was the most intense man I have ever met. Those hazel eyes held too much power in them.

I stood there like an idiot unable to answer most of his questions. He must think I'm a freak and idiot, who just stood there staring at him like a little girl expectedly waiting on her candy.

His handsome looks really rendered me speechless. He had that dominant pose about him. Everything about him really screams danger. He was sexy as hell.

Then there was the looks he was giving me.The I want to fuck you right now looks. I maybe imagining them, but it definitely got my panties wet.

I know that look. I get that unwanted look all the time from men. Jason was savoring my body with his gaze.

Why did I feel like his was different. Why did I want his to be different? Why do I want him to look at me like he wants to devour me. 

I must really be going out of my mind.

There was so much going on during those few minutes we stood by his hallway. Despite having two other people present, it felt as if it was just the both of us, devouring each other with our eyes.

The conner of his lips raised in a smirk. He knew the effects he had on me.

I asked for the rest of the day off. To get everything I needed sorted out before I moved in with me. Damn that sounded wrong. I work for him.

I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I had asked for a day to get myself ready to move into his penthouse.

I was shocked when he mentioned, I was supposed to live with him at his house.

That wasn't on the job description, but I didn't want to get Anne into any more trouble than she already was in. Especially when Jason threatened her job. The last thing I wanted was for her to get fired because of me, she was really good to me since I started working here.

Most maids live with their bosses so I shouldn't have been surprised. But living with a man like Jason, who's single and lives alone is really a bad idea. Especially a boss that arouses your very senses. My panties were dripping wet from want.

Moving into his house is a very bad idea and I can feel it in my bones.

The man has already manipulated my thoughts. So much so that when he looked at me all I could think about was his lips on mine. His hands on me. 

Oh God! Since when I've I become a maniac for a man?

All these thoughts are unwanted and should stop.

I couldn't rush out of there fast enough. His presence was distracting me and my damn hormones.

I walked out the building, ready to get home as soon as possible when I heard someone shout my name.

"Jasmin!"

I turned around and saw Anne rushing towards me with her killer heels. Those shoes definitely hurt like hell.

"Are you leaving too?" 

"Yeah." She released a breath and smiled at me. "Thank you so much for saving me back there. I owe you one."

I shook my head. "That's okay Anne. You are really a nice person. And it happens."

We continued walking down the road until we stopped by a black sedan. I'm guessing it's Anne's car.

"Sorry about Alex's behavior earlier. I don't understand why he spoke to you like that. He seems like the must put together in the three friends."

The reminder of Alex's remarks was enough reminder for me to stay in my lane and stop having dirty thoughts about my boss.

His words just hit straight home. Jason was way out of my league.

 I took a deep breath, trying hard not to think about anything else. "It's fine though. At least Mr Knight was supportive."

Anne stopped in her tracks and turned to me.

"Jason was really different today, and I wonder why." She pout her lips as if deep in thoughts.

"Oh really, how so?" I asked. Immediately intrigued and curious about Jason. I wanted to know more about him.

"He's usually an asshole and a man whore." I gasped, and looked around to see if anyone heard her. 

I also couldn't get past her comment about Jason being a man whore. Well he's rich and could get any woman he possibly wants. It's just another warning for me to stop thinking about him.

"What?" She laughed at my shocked expression. "It's alright. There is no one here, just the two of us." 

She suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned to me, suddenly worried about something. "You won't tell on me, right?"

I gasped. "What! No! God I won't do that." I can't believe she would even think that.

She released the breath she was holding. "Sorry Jasmin. I just freaked out a bit. If you really wanted to get me in trouble you would have done it earlier, when the boss threatened my Job."

Right. That's what I thought.

"Just that it happened to me once before. And I guess some memories just don't go away."

She had a sad look. As if she was miles away in thoughts.

I didn't want to snoop around asking about her personal problems, so I didn't ask. I felt sorry for her though, I could tell it was a painful memory.

"Anyways I shouldn't burden you with my past. There is always time for that." She gave me a bright mischievous smile.

"Yeah. You are right."

I had a feeling we are going to be friends. She is such an easy person to talk to, just like Lisa. Or not. Lisa is complicated sometimes.

"I can give you a ride. Where do you stay?"

"You don't have to. I can grab a bus or just walk. It's not that far....."

"Oh shut up and get in the damn car. I'll give you a ride." She cut me off and walked to the driver's side of her car.

She got inside the car and opened the passenger door for me. "Get in!"

I laughed. I couldn't help it. She was so bossy and funny at the same time.

"Thanks Anne."

She snorted and looked at me. 

"You are very much welcome, but please next time no thank you. Okay?"

I shook my head smiling. "Yes ma'am."

She laughed out. "God! We are so gonna be friends."

I would really like that. The only friend I really have is Lisa and having Anne too will just fill in that lonely gap.

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

"Thanks Girl." I thanked Anne as I got out of the car. 

She looked around my neighborhood, she looked around and obviously wanted to comment.

Most rich people were scared and disgusted whenever they came around this area. I couldn't say the same about Anne though she looked at me and gave me a big smile instead.

"You welcome love. In friendship no sorry no thank you, as long as it's genuine."

I smiled back at her. "You right. See you soon."

I closed the car down and moved out of the way to stand at the sidewalk.

"I'll call you!" She shouted as she drove off.

"I'll be expecting your call then." I shouted back even though she already drove off and can't possibly hear me.

I turned around ready to walk inside our apartment building when I stopped in my tracks.

Shocked and Scared to the bone. There leaning outside our apartment building wall is Max Cole. 

The man who is obsessed with me. The man who has been stalking me for years. The man I already have an restraining order on. The man I sent to jail. The man who would probably want revenge on me.

I couldn't breathe. He's going to kill me.
