Office Intertwined⚝

Chapter 26 - Surveillance

Jason and Kass were alone in Jason's grand mansion. Alex had gone out, leaving them in a moment of privacy. Kass sat on the edge of Jason's bed, her voice soft and inquisitive.

"Jason, yesterday in the office, you were going to say something..." Her eyes searched his face for clues, her curiosity palpable. Jason paused in his task of organizing clothes in his wardrobe, turning to face her. He offered a gentle smile, his eyes locking onto hers. There was an unspoken attraction that had simmered between them for far too long, and it was impossible to ignore in this intimate setting.

He walked over and settled beside her on the bed, His hands found hers, their fingers intertwining, and his eyes locked onto hers with a magnetic pull. He breathed out slowly, a moment of vulnerability passing between them. He couldn't help but admire her close-up, her long eyelashes, her delicate cheekbones that framed her face. His fingers gently cupped her face.

"Kass, I..." He began, the words catching in his throat as he struggled to find the courage. But her eager gaze urged him on. His gaze dipped momentarily to her lips before returning to her eyes, and he tightened his hold on her waist, his fingertips grazing her sides. She laughed softly at the tickling sensation.

"Jason, please tell me," she encouraged, her voice barely more than a breathy whisper, hugging him closer and sliding on top of him. Her hair cascaded over her shoulders. Jason looked up at her with a playful smile, his hands settling firmly on her hips. The tables had turned, and now she was pinned beneath him.

"Alright, I'll tell you what I wanted to say," he said, his smile warm and genuine. "And I guess it's about time I told you." Kass met his gaze, her eyes reflecting the affection that always seemed to shine when they were together.

"I... I really like you, a lot," he admitted, his voice tinged with desire. "To the point where I want to do unholy things to you, but I don't know if you want it or if you're ready..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Kass pulled his head down, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss. It ignited a fire between them as she ran her hands through his hair, and he gripped her hips, their hands exploring each other's bodies. Lost in the intensity of the moment, they failed to notice that Alex had returned from his trip.

Quietly, he had ascended the stairs, finding them locked in a passionate embrace. Envy flickered in his eyes as he watched Jason and Kass, their kisses and caresses. Deep in thought, he pulled out his phone, discreetly filming through a crack in the door, capturing their intimate encounter. The video, he believed, would prove quite useful.

The next morning, the sun had barely begun to cast its warm glow over Jason's mansion. Anne, an early riser, had taken on the routine task of reviewing the CCTV footage. As she watched the recordings, she was startled to see the footage of Alex filming Kass and Jason. Her heart sank as her eyes remained fixed on the screen. 'Oh my god..' she mumbled.

As Anne watched the footage with a sinking feeling in her chest, the questions swirled in her mind. What could Alex possibly be planning? His actions, caught on camera, revealed a deeply disturbing side of him. It was clear that he was driven by envy and a desire to undermine Jason and Kass's budding relationship. But to what end?

Kass had been cautious about trusting Alex, and Anne couldn't help but feel that her skepticism was justified. Anne couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Alex's motives than met the eye. She had trusted him, as had everyone else, and now, she felt a sense of betrayal gnawing at her. What was Alex truly planning? 

Anne pondered this as she continued to review the footage, her mind racing with uncertainty. It was a breach of trust, and she couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.

Quickly, Anne made digital copies of the incriminating footage and secured them on a hidden drive. She knew that confronting Alex about this discovery might escalate the situation, and right now, the priority was Kass's safety.

With a heavy heart, Anne pondered her next steps. She needed to consult with Jason and Kass about the footage. They deserved to know the truth about Alex's intentions and the potential threat he posed. But how would they react to this revelation, and what actions would they take to protect themselves?

As the sun began to rise, casting its warm glow on the mansion, the impending confrontation loomed over them all. Anne knew that secrets had a way of unraveling, and the truth had a habit of surfacing, even in the darkest of circumstances.
