Aubrey POV

I step out the car and see Riley so I start walking towards her, desperately not wanting to have to talk to Ian again.

"God you fucking rich or something Ian!" Riley says looking at the house with a somewhat amused expression on her face.

"Or something" Ian mutters and slams the car door shut.

Ian walks over to me and grabs my hand. I try to pull it away but he elicits a low growl. He tugs me along and Riley follows behind.

Evelyn is standing in the hallway as we enter and she looks surprised "Oh I didn't know we would be having three for dinner! I'll go-"

"No, the other chick will be leaving soon" Ian snaps looking at Evelyn, his silver eyes swirling with darkness.

"Right ok then. Good to see you again dear" Evelyn says looking to me softly and then scurrying off to the kitchen. I am envious she just gets to leave.

"Why don't you go into the kitchen" Ian says to Riley but looking at me.

"No I think I'll stay here" Riley says walking over to us.

Ian looks up behind Riley and myself and nods, before I know it a couple men dressed in all black 'escort' Riley to the kitchen. I can't help but question why Ian has 'guards' or whatever they are.

"What the fuck... put me down you asshole!.... you'll regret this..." Riley's words trail off as she is taken into the kitchen and if I wasn't so unhappy to be with Ian right now I would laugh.

Ian pulls me along to the living room with my hand still stuck in his and it feels like I am jogging to keep up with him. We get it Ian, you have long legs.

Once we are standing in front of the couch he brings his hands so one rests on my shoulder and the other tilts my head to look up at him as he leans closer. "Angel please you need to understand-" he says with plea in his eyes.

I stop him by putting my hands onto his chest and lightly push him, and shaking my head so his hand drops off. "Ian. I just really don't want to be friends with someone who bullies other people. You can't do that! You have to be nicer to people."

He scoffs standing up to his full height "Well we don't have to be friends."

I can't help but feel a little hurt even though I was the one that rejected him first. I look away not wanting him to see the hurt on my face.

"No no no no" he says worried and moves his hand to under my chin to lift up my face to look at him. "Angel I want to be so much more."

Not knowing exactly what he means and not wanting to get my hopes up that he means that he likes me I say "Ian we can't be best friends if you are going to bully people like that. And you need to apologise to Dan."

"What? Baby are you serious?" he says throwing his head back. "Angel no, well yes you are already my best friend but I want to-fuck." he says running his hands through his hair.

"You want to what?!" I say my eyes widening. Did this man just-

"Oh wait no, I was just saying that because I was um stuck for words!" he says pulling his hands out from his hair and his cheek reddening.

"Oh" I say looking at him confused.

"I mean I do want to fuck." he says looking at me.

"Ian?!" I say shocked.

"No but like no! Wait fuck!...STOP!" He brings his hands back to his hair and gets agitated.

"I'm not doing anything!" I say, he looks at me and behind his eyes I see him thinking. I hear him mutter under his breath "Fuck it" and before I know it he smashes his lips against mine.

His kiss is full of passion and need, he brings his hand to cradle my head and stop me from pulling away with the other resting on my neck. I am at first shocked still, but his tongue demands entrance and I fall victim to the sparks that erupt through my body.

The cool metal of his rings press against my skin and send shivers down my spine, the combination of everything sets the butterflies that constantly inhabit my stomach when I am with him free. Free to roam the rest of my body and make me feel like I am flying amongst the clouds.

Do all kisses feel this amazing?

After a while I put my hands on his chest and push him lightly away. He gives no indication of stopping so I push harder and he slowly removes his lips from mine and I feel myself slowly falling back down to earth. He leans his forehead onto the top of my head and while we both catch our breath he says "Fuck"

"Shit" I mutter as well in complete awe. I start walking backwards feeling way too vulnerable "What was..." I say trailing off.

He sighs and then falls down onto the couch and puts his head in his hands.

"Angel. I'm no fucking good at this." he says looking up from his hands while I stand there frozen trying to figure out what the hell is going on, because if he thinks that kiss was bad then damn I have a lot to look forward to. Wait what am I thinking?! No! Shit, I hate how vulnerable that made me feel.

"The world may laugh—may call me absurd, selfish—but it does not signify. My very soul demands you." he says says looking up from his hands and meeting my gaze. 

"Jane Eyre?" I question, my voice coming out quiet like a whisper. I can't help the butterflies tumbling in my stomach. Who knew a man quoting literature was so damn sexy and romantic. The fact that it is the book that brought us together makes it feel so much more special and sentimental.

He nods and the brings his head back to his hands almost like he is thinking, I am about to say something when he says. "Angel, to cut a long story short my life has been shit so far. Full of darkness and no hope. Blah blah blah a sob story for another time" He pauses and I walk closer to him as he becomes more vulnerable to me even though he tries to shrug it off with his sarcasm.

"But then I saw you, you were this light. Your smile, your laugh. Just everything about you." he says in an amazed tone looking down at his hands. He then looks up at me and says with his eyes full of love and need "You are my angel, sent from wherever to fucking save me. And I fucking need you in my life, by my side."

"Ian I don't know what to say" I say sitting down next to him and grabbing his hands to hold to give him some sort of comfort and he looks down to our hands. His hand completely enveloping mine.

"Say you will be my Jane." he says looking into my eyes.

"Ian I-" I say but he cuts me off by bringing his hand to caress my jaw.

"Angel, my soul demands you... so please, be my... this sounds so stupid, so immature... but be my girlfriend?" he says tenderly. 

"Ian that's-I have never been... I don't know how?" I say rambling.

"Angel" I look at him and see his eyes full of adoration and I can't help but blush.

"Promise you will not pull the shit you pulled with Dan ever again." I say looking into his eyes.

"Baby I will do my best." he says.

"And you have to apologise to him." I say assertively.

"But Angel-"

"No Ian. You will apologise if you want this" I say motioning between us.

"Ok ok yes of course" he says quickly.

"Ok then." I say looking down at our intertwined hands.

"Wait is that a yes" Ian says shuffling in his position and his voice getting excited. I look up to see the happiest smile plastered on his face.

"Yes Ian, I want to be your girlfriend!" I chuckle.

He stands up and I am confused, then then reaches down and grabs my waist pulling me up off the couch so my feet are dangling in the air.

"Ian what are you-" I start but then he brings me so our faces our close and presses a tender kiss to my nose. He then separates our faces and holds me high up in the air and begins spinning.

I start laughing and it feels like the moment goes in slow motion, with him looking at me with those piercing silver eyes sending so much love and adoration my way. He brings me to his chest and cradles me "Fuck now I feel dizzy" he says and I laugh. He chuckles and brings his finger to boop my nose.

I plaster on my face a look of mock disgust and then boop his nose back. He sits us down on the couch with me still in his arms and we both laugh.

This is absolutely insane. In the space of 10 minutes I have had my first kiss and been asked to be someone's girlfriend. I am beyond happy. Ian makes me feel like the most special person in the world.

"Well come on, Evelyn said we could have an early dinner" Riley says walking into the room, as she turns to see us on the couch she says "Ian what the fuck are you doing?"

I wriggle in Ian's tight grasp embarrassed that someone caught us, especially with the unresolved crush I have on her. Shittttt. 

Ian presses a kiss to my forehead and says to Riley "What? I'm not allowed to cuddle with my girlfriend?"

I turn to see Riley with a look of shock and what I think to be hurt, she masks it quickly and says "Excuse me?"

"What part of that did your pea brain not understand?" Ian questions. I hit him on the chest and flash him a disapproving look.

"Aubrey I thought you hated him." Riley says looking to me as I shift in Ian's hold.

"Love and hate are two sides of the same coin" Ian says.

"What fucking genius said that?" Riley scoffs sarcastically.

"Sigmund Freud" Ian says cooly whilst returning his gaze to look at me softly, and twirl a piece of my hair between his fingers. Wow look what a smartass my boyfriend is. Shit that is going to have to take some getting used to.

I roll my eyes at Ian and then look to Riley "It was just a big misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding my fucking ass" Riley says rolling her eyes.

"Well you can leave." Ian states. "Where are my men anyway?"

"Oh those losers? If they are meant to be guards or something they are shit. I knocked them out prettttyyy easy man." Riley boasts. "And fine, Aubrey if he makes you happy fucking fine. But I swear to god if he so much as-"

"Thank you Riley" I say chuckling and then look to Ian who still seems to be shocked by the fact his 'men' got overpowered by Riley.

"How the hell-" Ian starts to question but Ian is cut off when Riley says.

"Hurry up losers, I'm fucking starving and what your maid lady made looks amazing" Riley says starting to walk out of the living room.

"Oh no you aren't staying!" Ian shouts after her.

"Yeah I am!" Riley shouts back walking away. "Didn't wait all this fucking time for nothing" she mutters.

I start laughing.

"What?" Ian says looking at me still with his hardened expression from talking to Riley.

"You two are so similar" I say.

"No we are not! She is a bitch!" Ian mutters angrily, trying not to raise his voice at me.

"Well-" I say then Ian cuts me off.

"Fuck, no I see it. I don't want to talk about it" Ian says standing up and placing me gently on the ground. I laugh and he just grabs my hand and leads me to the kitchen where the aroma of dinner brings a smile to my face.

This dinner should be interesting.
