He had ushered you quickly out of his house that night. It replayed, over and over in your head the look on his face, his hands gripping your arms so tight you couldn't move your body.

That night.

He gulps. His face sad with guilt and regret of telling you these things.
"What do you want from me?"
He looks down at his hands on the desk, held up by his spread fingertips. He lets out a slow breath, pushing himself up slowly. "I am afraid that..." He looks up at you slowly. "I can't tell you"
You huff and fold your arms, after everything he had said already?
"Yo-you have already told me some pretty d-"
He slams his fist on his desk, keeping it there as he glares at you from under furrowed brows.
"Do you not think I know that?" He yells.
You scan his face in panic, his eyes were burning orange. And his mouth was parted as he panted.
"Just..." You unfold your arms and put them in front of you.
"It won't change anything" you reassure him in a whisper.
He bites his lip, tossing his head back as he grunts angrily.
You swallow loudly as he starts walking around his desk towards you.
You step back slowly.
"y/n" he stares deep into his eyes and snatches your shoulder to pull you to him.
His fingers curl around the tops of your arms, digging in slightly. Unable to move, you stand there, your heart pounding.
"If you had any sort of common sense..." He rolls his eyes sarcastically, as he looks back at you he tugs you forward and backwards. He leans down, getting closer and closer to your face. You stare up into his eyes. They were glowing like a burning fire.
"I want you"
"Wha-"
"I want you, your company-"
"But not just that..." You mumble to him.
His lips curl into a smirk.
"Precisely" he chuckles deeply, letting you go.
"But...you said you liked me and-and you can stop...and-" trying to make some sense of it.

"What if I didn't want to stop?"
