Paradise Bound

Chapter 19

Isaac is staring back at me with an angry expression on his face.

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?"

"Why are you acting so surprised Isaac? Afterall, didn't you agree for him to have a fling with me?!"

Realization spreads across his face and he takes a few steps closer to me. I instinctively move back but my back hits against the wall trapping me to the spot.

Isaac uses this to his advantage as he closes the distance between us so that we are only mere inches away from each other.

"You heard us earlier?"

"Bingo!"

Isaac's eyes are now plunging deep into mine and I suddenly feel uncomfortable with our sudden closeness.... Anytime we have been this close before it has always lead to us getting very very naked!

"I can explain."

"Well go on.... I'm listening. Please do tell me why you gave your brother permission to ask me out when you are fucking me in your spare time? Is this some kind of sick joke? Do you guys get a kick out of sharing your women?"

"Jesus Christ Tessa, what the hell do you take me for?! Of course we don't share our women!"

"Well what am I supposed to think? You clearly don't care if I'm fucking you and going on a date with your brother!"

"Really? That's what you think?"

"You know what Isaac, I don't know what to think. I'm just realizing I know nothing about you!"

I stare back at Isaac as my blood pumps around my body rapidly and my heart is hammering against my rib cage.

I go to move away but Isaac presses the palm of his hand against the wall beside my head blocking my way.

"Isaac, let me go. I want to go back to my apartment!"

"No!"

"No?"

"Not until I get to say what I want."

I raise my eyebrows in surprise at his dominant behaviour.

(Why am I so turned on by his sudden forceful and dominant behaviour.... He oozes sex appeal but that doesn't excuse him being an ass earlier!)

"Make it quick!"

"I don't want you to go on a date with Will...... Or anyone!"

I have to suppress the smile that is dying to stretch across my face, in relief at Isaac's words.

"Why did you give him permission to ask me out then?"

"Because I'm an asshole...."

"That's not really a good enough excuse."

Isaac's eyes darken a little as he stares deep into my eyes. I can feel his warm breath against my face as he slowly exhales.

"I did it for a couple of reasons I guess. I wanted him to leave as fast as possible so I had to avoid an argument, secondly it didn't matter whether I gave him permission or not he still would have asked you out, he always does this and thirdly I suppose I didn't want to admit......."

Isaac pauses as he looks down towards the ground shyly.... I have never seen this man look anything other than perfectly confident so to see him slightly vulnerable is actually very endearing and utterly sexy.

"Admit what Isaac?"

My voice pulls Isaac's attention back up and his eyes resume their position, locked onto mine.
