Read Slowly...

We take the Limousine to the restaurant. Jake is waiting for us downstairs, next to the car.

The latter gives me a faint smile as I get into the back. He obviously doesn't like the look of my relationship with Ryan.

He's beginning to annoy me. After all, I can't see any harm in it, nor do I see what it is to him! He shouldn't be judging me.

Ryan slips in beside me and Jake closes the door.

He goes around the car and gets into his seat. When he turns on the engine, Ryan speaks to him.

R:"Let's go, Jake."

Ryan looks in my direction. I understand. He wants to keep the destination secret.

I roll me eyes.

I try to get the information out of him.

T:"Where are we going?"

R:"You'll see, Miss White."

(He makes me laugh.)

I smile at him. Everything is a game.

I decided to play the same game and not say anything.

We drive in silence for a a few minutes. I look out of the corner of my eye at my beautiful lover. He glances at his phone, adjusting his jacket.

Even this kind of gesture, usually totally harmless, is sexy with him. I want to be the cell phone that he's touching and that captivates all his attention.

I think for a moment about his burning gaze when he was leaning over me a few minutes earlier ...

(He was very sexy.)

In truth, before meeting him, I wouldn't have believed that a man could be so captivating. My body seems to react in spite of me to his sensuality.

(As well ... He was ... dominant.)

If I were not completely under his spell, I think that look could have frightened me. There was something savage, brutal about it. Something that shows his dominant nature.

I close my eyes an instant and breathe giving my brain the opportunity to resurface.

I wonder what this evening has in store for me ...

(I'm looking forward to desert ...)

To tell the truth, I can't wait for "dessert". I've been turned on all day and now and I'm seriously starting to get impatient!

I don't know yet if there is anything else other than this physical attraction to him ... On the one hand, it would be better if it stopped at that. The fall would be less painful.

Suddenly, Jake's voice snaps me out of my daydreams.

Jake:"Sir, we're being followed."

(Hey?)

Jake spoke calmly. Ryan turns to look behind us. I quickly do the same.

I can't see anything in particular. Just the steady stream of cars.

I look at Ryan, worried. Can he see anything ...?

T:"What do you mean? ... There's nothing at all ..."

Jake shifts abruptly over to the next lane. I jerk and I grab the door handle.

Jake:"The black sedan, three cars behind, on the taxi lane, has been following us for ten minutes now."

(What's going on ...? Who are these people ...?)

My eyes go from Jake to Ryan. What's going on?

He then picks up his phone and dials a number.

T:"Ryan, what's going on ... who are these people ?!"

A serious look on his face, he motions me with his hand to be quiet and stares at the road.

A few never ending seconds pass while I stare at him, completely dumbfounded.

R:"I get the message."

He doesn't say anything else and hangs up. For a few seconds, I remain out of it.

(What message?) Who is he talking about? Does he know them?

I turn to the sedan in question and see it turn at the corner of a street a few seconds later.

Jake sighs. Ryan keeps his calm.

T:"Ryan ...?"

He seems lost in thought.

T:"Ryan!"

He turns his head towards me; His eyes seem darker. I suddenly realise that I have just spoken to him in a familiar way, in front of Jake.

I don't care! After all, Jake isn't fooled! And if Ryan didn't want to arouse suspicion about our relationship, he should have ordered a taxi!

(However. I put things right.)

T:"What's going on, sir?"

He remains silent as he meets Jake's eye in the rearview mirror.

Jake:"Sir, what do you want me to do?"

R:"Nothing yet."

Jake looks at him disapprovingly. Obviously, he disagrees.

Jake:"But sir, I can ..."

R:"Jake, just do what I ask you."

Wow, I've never seen Ryan so cold with Jake. Anyway, I seem to be the only one who doesn't know what's going on here ...

In the meantime, I would like an explanation!

T:"Can someone explain to me what's going on ?!"

Ryan stares at me for a moment, as if I'd crossed a line.

(Excuse me, we are being followed by a very creepy black sedan, and it doesn't look friendly, so I have a right to worry!)

Finally, his gaze softens and he resumes his usual self-assurance and casualness.

R:"It's nothing, a competitor trying to intimidate me."

I stare at him, dazed.

To intimidate him ...? Who wants to get at him this badly? Is this why Jake watches over him ...?
