Just One Hello (Book 2 in the Just Series)

Chapter 28

Marco

I hit the buzzer on Ellie's apartment.

"Hey," her voice came through the intercom.

"Hi princess. Buzz me in," I said.

"Okay."

A few minutes later, I was outside Ellie's door, knocking.

A few seconds later, the door opens.

"Zarah! Hey. It's nice to see you again," I said.

She smiled. "You too. Come on in. Ellie will be out in a minute."

I step inside, just in time when Ellie came to view.

She never fails to take my breath away.

She's a fucking vision.

I watched with fascination as Ellie walked across the room. She really is stunningly beautiful. Her luscious curves and figure can draw any man's attention. I have never felt such possessiveness when it comes to other women I've had draped in my arms before. I didn't care that men checked them out. But with Ellie. It's different. It irritates me to know that other men is checking her out. It brings out the cave man in me. It makes me want to grab her and kiss her senseless.

Fuck.

I've never felt this kind of possessiveness before.

Hell, I'm going to have to keep my reins in check. This is the first time we're going out in public. I want the world to know, that Ellie is mine. No other men can claim her.

"You look incredibly beautiful, princess," I said huskily.

She blushed. "Thanks."

I walked towards her. I cupped her face and bent down to kiss her chastely on the lips. "Every man is going to be looking at you. I don't think I like that. No, I just don't think. I know. I know men are going to be looking at you. I don't like the idea of other men seeing you in that dress," I said.

A look of worry crossed her face.

"You look way too sexy and hot in that dress," I said.

Relief flooded her face and a sexy smile graced her lips.

"Ermm, guys. I'm just going to leave you two. Ellie, just lock the door when you leave," I heard Zarah say as she crept into the hall, probably to her room.

I groan. "We better go princess before I lose control and take your dress off of you, and ravish you here," I said.

She gasped.

I grinned. "You look good enough to eat," I teased.

She chuckled and shook her head.

"Let's go you big oaf," she said, and I laughed.

Once we were inside the car, Ellie asked, "So where are you taking me? I hope it's somewhere private," she said.

I looked at her suggestively and colour rose to her cheeks.

"I didn't mean... I mean... What I meant was that I hope the paparazzi won't be around to take our pictures..."

"Why the hell not?" I asked. "I want them to take pictures. I want them to know that we're together," I said.

"Are you crazy? I don't want that."

"Why the hell not?"

"Because, I... only my sister knows that we're seeing each other. I don't want my parents and most specially, my brother to know about us," she said.
