Tangled Web of Love (On hold)

She belongs to him

"I'm coming with you, Amber."

Amber shook her head, she didn't want him to accompany her to Tristan's. It was bad enough that he was making her break up with her boyfriend, now he wanted to rub it in Tristan's face. How much more cruel can he be? What has Tristan ever done to him?

"Alex, please let me do this alone. It's going to hurt him even more if he sees you there."

Alex laughed, that was his intention anyway. He wanted to see the look on Tristan's face when he realised that Amber was no longer his. He wanted Tristan to know that Amber belonged to him and he had no intention over giving her back.

Alex still remembered the way Tristan spoke to him the last time he saw him. He didn't know if Amber was aware of his and Tristan's encounter, but he was going to enlightened her in due time.

He watched as she stubbornly tried to sway him from accompanying her. But, he wasn't a man who was easily swayed. He had every intention of going with her. The only reason he was allowing her to go to her soon to be ex-boyfriend's house was so he could make it clear to Tristan that Amber was his.

"I'm going with you and that is final."

Alex had enough of talking, he just wanted to get the day over and done with. He was looking forward to having her in the bed at the end of the day.

Amber bit the corner of her lips. She wasn't sure she could go through with breaking Tristan's heart. He loved her so much and she loved him. She knew that Tristan was on the verge of asking her to marry him and she would have said yes.

She looked down at the diamond engagement ring that was sitting on her finger, mocking her. She might not get her happy ever after with Tristan, but she wasn't stupid enough to believe that she was going to get it with Alex. He was just using her. When he introduced her as his fiancé to Emily's nanny, she was so shock she stood there frozen. She wanted to scream that she wasn't his anything, but she remembered just in time that Emily was still in the room.

Although Amber was shocked, she wasn't so out of it that she didn't notice the hurt, betrayed look on Grace's face. She got the distinct feeling that Alex and Grace were once lovers. Even as the thought filled her head, she felt a sharp pang in her heart. The thought of Alex being with another woman made Amber want to claim him as her own. She didn't understand what is was that she was feeling for him. She knew she loved him, but loved Tristan more that's why she chose him.

The glint from the diamond sparkled in the light, again mocking her. She could have told him no. she could have refused to wear the ring that he took her to buy. Amber was ashamed to admit that she quite liked the feel of it sitting on her finger. For a while, she got to pretend that she and Alex were in love and were out shopping for an engagement. Instead of playing a game for Alex's amusement.

It was going to hurt Tristan to see her wearing another man's ring. Amber felt like a horrible person for what she was about to do. Maybe letting Tristan go was for the best. He deserved someone better, someone who wasn't in love two to men.

The drive to Tristan's house was done in silence. Amber sat in the back of the limo, looking out the window as the car whizzed past the outside world. She watched as the strangers outside go about their busy lives. Couples were laughing and embracing lovingly, kids were running while their parents tried to stop them. Everyone on the outside looked like they had a better life than her.

Alex moved next to her, bringing her attention back to him. She turned a bit in her seat to get a better look at him, and her heart skipped a beat from his beauty. His hair fell in his face as he leaned forward to get a better look at whatever it was that he was reading. Her hand itched to move the dark locks away from his face. She was staring so hard that she didn't see when he closed the file and put it to his side.

"See something you like, Amber?"

Startled, she turned her eyes away and continued looking out the window. He chuckled and the rich sound send a chill through her. She was so attuned to him, her body was aware of every move he made. Even the slightest brush of hands had her burning up with desire. She felt guilty for feeling that way about him. Tristan should be the only person to incite heat in her and make her go stir crazy with want, but he wasn't. It was never that way with Tristan. Sure, there was passion and heat, but not to the extent that it was with Alex.

She couldn't think straight whenever she was around Alex and she guess that was one of the reasons that she chose to stay with Tristan. Being with Tristan was safe and that was what she wanted, safe. However, her body was letting her know that 'safe' was the last thing she was going to get with Alex. Whatever she was feeling was dangerous, very dangerous.

"Why so quiet, Amber rose?"

Alex asked, feeling the need to fill the silence. Her quietness was irritating him and the sad look she had on her face was pissing him off. It was nothing for her to break him heart and play with his feelings, but she was upset that she had to do it to her boyfriend. He knew that it was a bastard thing to do, but he couldn't find it in his heart to care. He wanted to see her hurt, just like she hurt him.

She kept on looking out the window, deciding to ignore him. Both her hands were wound tight in her lap. Her back straight, as she tried her best to pretend like he didn't exist. However, Alex was having none of it. His hand came out and captured one of hers, causing her gasp.

She turned to look at him, giving him her best-irritated look, hoping that he would see her bad mood and release her. But, she should have known that Alex wasn't a man that was easily intimidated. His dark brow kicked up in amusement, and the corner of his mouth lifted in a small smirk.

She was irritated enough that she forcefully pulled her hand away from him and said in an angry voice.

"You don't get to touch me!"

At least not yet. She said in her head.

She was startled right out of her skin, when she was lifted into strong arms and placed on his lap. She was about to protest, but never got the chance. Alex's lips were on hers and before she knew it she was moaning and kissing him back.

The kiss was forceful at first, but Alex slowed it down to quite a sensual rhythm. Amber moaned again and pressed her body into his. Her hands involuntary made their way up his solid chest and into his silky hair.

Alex moved with her still on his lap, until she was on her back lying under him. Her legs came around his waist and his hand found its way under her flowered sun dress. The feel of her smooth skin on his hand made her growl with pleasure.

As his hand moved further up so did her dress. He knew he was in dangerous water, because she was not stopping him like he thought she would. Instead she was laying herself bare to him. Moaning when he touched her, and giving as good as she got. He had to pull himself back before he reach to a point that he would be unable to stop.

Just as he was about to pull away, Amber moaned softly in her throat and deepened the kiss further. He cursed himself in his head and continued kissing her. His hand moved further up her dress and found her bare breast. He gently squeezed, causing her to gasp but he didn't break the kiss. 

He wanted to feel her bare skin touching his, hear her moan his name as he make love to her. Alex was seconds away from stripping every last piece of clothing from her delectable body, when the limo pull to a stop and the driver alerted them of their arrival.

He slowly moved his mouth away from hers and was delighted to see the raw wanton passion in her eyes. Her cheeks were a lovely red and her lips looked like she'd just been ravaged.

They stayed like that looking at each other, her passion filled eyes on him and her kiss swollen lips slightly parted. She looked down at the hand he still had under her clothes, and on her breast. When her eyes met his again, it was filled with renewed passion. Alex couldn't resist the temptation that she was offering even if he wanted to. He leaned back down and his mouth captured hers. He resided to the fact that he wouldn't be leaving the car until he finally made her his.

Amber sighed under him when his lips finally touched hers. With Alex she couldn't think straight, with him everything was heated and raw. She knew that it was wrong what she was doing, but somehow she just couldn't make herself stop. She knew that she was handing him the keys to her already fragile heart. But at that moment, her body was doing all the talking and her mind was quite happy to stay in the back ground. So much for resisting him.
