Jagged Edge.

Chapter Ten - The start of the end

I felt the car pull up and he gripped my hand, he looked at me

'We need to talk, please join me?'

I simply nodded.

We got out the car and I looked over what I assumed to be his house, it was small, a little detached cottage, thatched, you never saw these houses in London, I wondered how far out of London he lived, it was clear it was purpose built with 'Edge Lodge' etched on a plank of wood nailed into the door. He shoved the key in the lock and we walked inside. He told me to take a seat and then he sat next to me and I asked him wearily.

'Ok, speak. What is it you want?'

'I have told you, nothing deep, nothing meaningful I don't do romance, and I don't do cuddles when you cry. I just want to have you and fuck your brains out'

'Is... are you .... do you have any other girls?' I had no idea if it even mattered

'Currently. No.' He said bluntly

'Currently?' I quized

'I'm pursuing you and I am monogamous so to speak. If this happened you would be too'

He never broke his stride, disguse over his eyes, hard and determined. He was powerful and he knew it.

'Why no romance? How far does that go?'

'Melissa I won't fall in love with you and you can't fall for me, therefore I have no need for romance, I like to have what I want and I want you, and I want to be inside you'

I swallowed deep, men were not usually this forward with me, I was 'dainty' and treat like an innocent, he stared at me and I felt a quistion fire inside him

'Melissa, I must ask ... what experience do you have?'

Experience, shit. I couldn't say virtually none. I was embarrassed, and I wasn't sure what to do. I didn't want him to know about my past, when he mentioned my uncle before I fought it. I wasn't going to tell him what he did, I spat out

'I'm not a virgin. If that's what you mean but.. ' I wasn't lying, technically 'I haven't been fucked for a while'

He looked at me half shocked

'Seriously? How could anyone keep their hands off of you?'

I laughed a little, at the fact he was so near my reasoning and he didn't know it. I changed the subject.

'what if I say no?'

'I keep asking till the only option is yes. I always win, Ms. Payne.'
