The Billionaire's Secret

the explanation

I drive home feeling guilty for kissing John even if it was for a split second. As much as I hate to I have to tell Jake about this. I wonder what he's going to say. He shouldn't be that mad since we started dating yesterday.

But this is Jake we're talking about. He got mad when John kissed me before we started dating. I know he'll be really pissed about this but he'll eventually get over it. I pull into the garage and head inside of the house.

I walk in to see Jake in the kitchen shirtless. He still has a body I will never get used to.

"Hey." I say placing my purse on the couch and headed to the kitchen.

"Hey babe." He looks over at me and grabs my waist pulling me in for a kiss. "How was the little get together?"

"Yes that's what I wanted to talk to you about." I say.

"Maybe it could wait."

"It can't."

"Babe I've been waiting for you all day."

"Would it kill you to wait for like another five minutes?"

"Maybe." He laughs.

"You'll survive." I smile.

"Oh God Ashley that smile is so beautiful."

"Stop." I move his hand from my cheek. "You might want to sit down for this." He pulls a bar stool and I sit across from him.

"Okay."

"So um something happened."

"What do you mean something happened?"

"I mean with John."

"Aah fuck. See this is why I didn't want you going out with that guy in the first place." He runs his hand through his hair and stands up.

"Jake sit down could you let me finish?"

"How the fuck am I supposed to sit through this?"

"Jake just promise me you won't get mad."

"I can't promise that Ashley."

"Jake."

"Ashley."

"Okay I guess I'll just tell you. So John kissed me twice."

"I swear the next time I see that guy he's dead."

"Jake don't worry nothing is going to happen again."

"You're damn right it won't because he won't ever see you again."

"Excuse me what?"

"You can't see him again."

"Jake calm down. You can't tell me who I can and can't see."

"Um yea I can."

"Um no you can't."

"You're mine so I can."

"You don't own me Jake. I can see whoever I want."

"I'm not letting you see him again Ashley."

"Well you can't see your assistant!"

"She works with me I have no other choice."

"Fire her then."

"I'm not about to fire someone just because you want me to!"

"Jake I don't like this. This is why I didn't want to get serious with you." I say and try to walk away but he grabs my wrist.

"It's not my fault I want this to last."
