Ugly Love (Raw #1)

chapter#24

And then the next day he did something out of ordinary again.

Setting her clothes up in the wardrobe , she heard the door open. Jennifer looked over her shoulder and found him getting in. Not at all giving him more attention than a few seconds , she got back to her work while he eyed her back, wishing she could feel the heat in his heart.

Jonathan didn't say a word and dumped the large porcelain package on the bed. Then he turned around and went to stand right behind her.

Engrossed , she didn't feel him until his breaths fell on the nape of her neck and she whirled around , surprised.

"Need something?"

Staring at her with an intensity she had never seen before , he shook his head and then held her wrist. Making her sit on the bed beside the package.

"I want you to wear this tonight."

Jennifer glanced at the square package and then she stood up.

"I won't."

Her heart thudded knowing well she shouldn't be giving it back to him all the time but his face didn't change into anything that could make her cry.

All he did was shrug as if he didn't care about her decline.

That made her even more pushy.

"I said I won't wear it."

"I'll make you then. And it would be fun." He smiled but his smile held a threat he knew she couldn't handle.

She looked away angrily.

"You're the worst .  .most shameless human to ever walk on earth!"

Jonathan crossed his arms, amused.

"Up to this date I have been quite an honourable man , no?"

She mimicked his words and that made his smile deepened , shutting her up effectively.

When he stepped inside the bathroom to strip and change into something comfy , he knew one thing right away. .he had lost the war.

Tired to his bones , the cool water had freshened him up and when he stepped out. .all he could do was pause and really look at her looking at herself in the mirror. The dress wasn't scandalous at all. .he knew her comfort zone. To him , her clothes didn't matter . .she could get him with a simple stare. .a laugh. .a smile. . anything.

Jennifer didn't knew what to make of the knee length black dress . .it was modest and classy.

She had no idea her every move was pushing him over the edge. He couldn't take it anymore. Couldn't fight what he wanted. .she definitely felt his heavy gaze on her and when she turned around . .he was less then a few feet away from her. Openly taking her and there was something in his eyes that made her heart thud out loud.

The words were out of her mouth before she could think.

"I'm going to make some coffee." She mumbled to herself and confused , dazed. .she made her way towards the door but his hand shot out and she shut her eyes , feeling his fingers wrapped around her arm.

As he pulled her close , he whispered in her ear , "Quit running. Quit hiding."

"L-listen—," her lips turned dry and her body caught fire feeling the heat of the moment and her voice had turned weak.

She tried to pull back but he flushed her against himself , making her feel everything.

"Loving is easy , proving is hard." His eyes smouldered.
