*Third person's pnt of view*
"Wha- what?" Stuttered Ana, her throat suddenly running dry, her heart racing.
"Marry me, Ana." Jaxon simply stated again, his own heart attempting to beat out of his chest.
"Why?" She asked furrowing her eyebrows, she wasn't sure why that was the question she thought of.
"Why? Why?! You really want to ask me why? I'm in love with you Ana! I love you! Don't tell me you haven't noticed." Heaved Jaxon, not believing the events unfolding in front of him, he wasn't sure what he expected with Ana.
"But Jaxon, don't you think it's a little quick? Impulsive even?" Asked Ana carefully, though honestly she was buying herself some time to process the fact that Jaxon just asked her to marry him.
"Ana, turn around." Ordered Jaxon, his voice sounding a little exasperated.
"What?" She asked confused.
"Turn..." he placed his hands on her shoulders and spun her around to face Stewart's body that laid in his own blood, lifeless and unmoving.
"Now, it was either me on the ground in that state and you getting molested by Stewart as we speak, or this, here and now" he whispered turning her around to face him.
"You and me, together." He added in a soft tone, cupping her cheek.
"Can I... can I just have a moment to think about it?" Whispered Ana, as Jaxon groaned and placed his forehead on hers as he sighed, "at least kiss me, just in case it's the last time." Declared Jaxon, his words turning into a knife that jabbed his chest repeatedly.
His declaration made her hurt sink.
Was he afraid that she wouldn't stay?
Ana pulled back, and cupped Jaxon's face, then she placed her lips softly on his, and held him close.
There in that specific moment she knew the truth. But was that even possible? To fall in love with someone in such short time, if not mention their actual situation?
When she pulled away, she sighed and shook her head as she said "God, I love you."
That declaration made her hurt skip with glee. It felt good to say it out loud.
Jaxon chuckled and said, "does that mean I can officially call you my fiancée?" He asked again, nuzzling her neck.
"No." Giggled Ana, the sensation of his lips on her neck making her feel butterflies roam about in her stomach.
"Mmh why not?" Mumbled Jaxon as he feathered his lips over hers, and rubbing their noses together, he was in love, and he himself couldn't believe it.
"Because, I didn't say yes." She said, as his hands pulled her closer, flushing her body to his, she could feel him, and though she felt nervous of their level of intimacy, she wasn't afraid.
"Mmmh, there are so many ways I could get you to do that." Whispered Jaxon in Ana's ear, then he bit her ear lobe, sending a jolt of excitement through her entire body, causing her toes to curl in her shoes.
"You're so dirty." She chuckled as she began to walk from him, in order to clear her mind before her body's desires got the best of her.
"And you're just naughty." Said Jaxon as he followed her out, silently thanking her before he couldn't control himself any longer.
They reached the car and she looked at him and said, "let's go home."
Those words made Jaxon's heart jump.
The ride back to the mansion was quiet, neither of them spoke for a while.
Jaxon was still somehow finding his mind preparing his heart just in case she dropped it and said "forget it, and no."
But then his heart was debating with his mind, saying if Ana hasn't denied him yet. He should remain hopeful.
Jaxon shook his head wanting to laugh, when did he become this person?
His eyes flashed over Ana, who had her head against the window, her eyes looking out onto the dark road.
Of course things changed when she walked into his life.
Ana on the other hand was barely keeping it together.
She was one word away from either breaking his heart, and in the process breaking hers, or she could say one good word, and her world would officially change forever.
But then she began imagining life as Jaxon's wife, and fear settled deep within her veins.
What if he became tired of her? What if he went back to living his bachelor life? She'd be the disgraced wife who lost her husband to busty blondes, and tall brunettes.
"Jaxon?" She spoke up, her throat slightly dry.
"Yeah babe." He replied sending a quick look her way before turning his eyes back on the road.
"If, if, I say yes, you know if you cheat on me, I will cut your balls off right?" She simply stated.
At her words, Jaxon's foot slammed the brakes, and swerved to the side of the road.
Ana remained calm, as Jaxon's eyes pierced the side of her face.
"What?" Chuckled Jaxon after a moment of silence.
"You heard me... babe." Added Ana after a moment of silence, when she finally turned to look dead into his eyes.
Jaxon wasn't sure whether he was more turned on by what she said, or by the fact that she actually meant it.
"Is that the game we're going to play now?" Questioned Jaxon, feeling a heat run throughout his body, and straight to his main target.
"Not a game babe, just a simple promise." Assured Ana, as she batted her eye lashes.
Jaxon groaned, and then he decided to have some fun of his own.
"Ana, look down." He ordered, knowing he was about to get the upper hand.
"What?" Said Ana, slightly confused.
"Look. Down." He pressed, his voice slightly strained.
Ana's eyes glided down his body, and when they reached it, her eyes widened, and she automatically felt her face heat up.
"Jaxon-"
"Shh, no babe. Now it's my turn to talk, you don't get to threaten me, not when you have yet to give me a chance to prove myself. Now I know you can fight, and take me on, but threaten me again, and we will not make it home. Good thing this car is an SUV." Stated Jaxon, his eyes never leaving hers.
Ana was shocked to her core, but then a sudden rush of energy and confidence took over her, and she unbuckled her seatbelt, and faced him.
She folded her knees on her seat and propped her body closer to Jaxon.
He watched her attentively, as she cupped his face, then ever so slowly, she caressed her hands down his neck, she glided them across his broad shoulders, then danced her fingertips downs his very toned chest and abdomen.
Her hands reached his V-line, and his eyes alone provoked her keep going.
She inched her hands down towards him, as she moved her upper body close to his.
While her hands tested on him, his blue eyes alone made her feel everything, from the goosebumps on her skin, to the slight uncomfortable warmth that pooled between her legs, she tightened her thighs, which didn't go unnoticed by him, and then, she pushed her face closed to his, pouting her lips up to his.
She stared dead into his eyes and said, "prove it."
Jaxon chuckled and placed his hand on her cheek.
He pulled her close, and bit her mouth, then his other hand traveled down her side, shadowed over her butt, outlined the back of her thigh, and rested on her inner thigh.
He inched his fingers close, kissing Ana's neck, making her grasp an intake of air, as she closed her eyes.
She arched her back and leaned her head back, giving Jaxon access to kiss the base of her neck.
She gasped, when his tongue darted out to taste her skin.
She aimed to close her legs, in order to ease the turmoil taking place there, her lower stomach was coming alive with rousing sensations, but his warm fingers slowly tearing her inner thighs wasn't making it better, all she needed was on touch.
But it's as though he read her mind suddenly, he placed his hand at the back of her neck, and roughly pulled her ear to his mouth, then he simply said in his domineering tone "no Ana, not until you say yes. Now sit down and put your seatbelt on."
Just like that, Jaxon pulled away from her and began driving away.
Speechless, Ana sat quietly for the rest of the ride.
But was it wrong that all she wanted was to whisper "yes daddy" in his ear?
