JANE

As the coffee steamed up in my face I rubbed my temple slowly. It was still very early with nothing but the warm lights slipping through the kitchen windows.

I took a sharp sip of my coffee and pushed the cup between my hands laid flat on the table.

Just then, another pair of hands slides forward at each side of my arms and I feel Quinn's warmth behind me.

"Sneaking up to drink?" He murmured.

"It's just coffee."

He leaned back, heading for the fridge in matching cardigan and joggers.

  • His Dangerous Obsession    95

    JANEI haven't noticed the ticking of the clock in a long time.But tonight, every passing second echoed through the room and checking now I realized it was way passed midnight.I curl tighter on the bed, my arms wrapping around my stomach as though I could hold myself together that way. I turn from one side to the other, dragging the sheets with me, as the ruffling sounds continued underneath. In the end, my hair had ruffled under my neck and shoulder preeking my skin from several ends.With a frustrated sigh, I push myself from the crescent moon position and the sheets hissed louder as I lay flat on my back, my hair spreading out away from my skin and my eyes falling against the floral gothic patterns on the ceiling.I stared at them blankly before climbing off the bed.The bathroom tiles feel extremely cold and I leave the door open as I peed, my cheek resting heavily against my fist.While the sound of the flushing echoes through the quiet room, I wander towards the shower cubicle

    JANEMy lips part in a reluctant grasp for air but a shuddered breath escapes me instead.As if the sound of it brought Quinn back to himself, he adjusts his stand. He doesn't let go of my neck but his grip loosens and now he slouches over me like he's afraid to let go, his nose brushing mine lightly before drawing away."You say you wanna leave so badly but here you are shuddering even at the mere thought of it."He was right. Why could he read my body language so much? How did I never find it a problem until this fragile moment?"I shudder because I'm scared of you." I say instead and I see what that does to him. His upper lip drags up as he sniffles and he lets go at last. I could tell how much of his ego was bruised. "All I've ever done is protect you...""From the danger that comes with being with you!" I stare straight into his eyes and his brows knit. His jaw tightens as he stares at me, at the defiance in my eyes. At the way my chest rises and falls like I'm bracing myself

    JANEThis is too sudden.I keep asking myself what pushed me to say it. I hadn’t planned it. I hadn’t rehearsed the words, hadn’t imagined how it would sound coming out of my mouth.I just… said it right to his face.I had to.It needed to be said. Because somewhere along the line, it felt like he had forgotten. And sooner or later, this would have come up anyway.But this silence… It’s starting to scare me.My fingers rise up to my lips as his gaze deepens, darkening in a way I can’t read. Even though, they were not on me, I could feel the intensity of their gaze. Then they shift and so does he.The moment he pushes himself to his feet, he turns his back on me and I stand too, almost immediately.I want to call his name as I stared at his back, moving as he poured himself a small glass of brandy that he gulps down at once I want to call his name, ask him to speak to me, beg him to say something, anything. I fight the urge to touch him.“Where would you go?”Finally, he mumbled.Rel

    JANEMy period should’ve come five days ago. What am I missing?God… please don’t let it be that...I dig through the drawer again, my fingers frantic as they shove past sanitary pads, wipes, tubes of Replens. The unopened box of tampons still sits there, untouched -proof of a habit - I wasn't ever a fan of tampons. My chest tightens as I keep searching.Then I find it - My birth-control card. I pull it out with shaking fingers and count.One. Two. Three... I should be holding an empty pack.I missed three pills - guilty!I knew I was missing it, yet Quinn and I had been having sex non-stop for days and I knew what would happen. Perhaps, I secretly expected this to happen. So why was I shocked and scared now?I felt tiny tingles of cold on my forehead and my palm flew up to find it was beads of sweat. I wipe it off at once, knowing well, the cause.I’ve been holding that pee for too long.I rush to the toilet as fast as my heavy bladder allows, barely shutting the door before relief

    QUINN"Master of Disguise - that's what he was called." Mario murmurs from beside me and I nod."I'm not surprised. That's exactly what he was."After I killed Igor, I made sure to locate his house and have it checked for useful information. After his computers and belongings were put to check, Venice came to discover that Igor wasn't the fragile 52 year old man he pretended to be. He went by the name Chameleon Hue - an infamous assassin that worked for many secret organizations across the continent.He didn't stop after he came from jail. All he had to do was use his body frame to his advantage and look like a harmless cafe man. But in the night, he was a demon that slithered through the alleys and reaped lives out. I fell for it too."It seems his daughter left when she found out. So he wanted to take the job and earn a decent money from it for her sake.""No, I don't think she knows," I chew on my lip. "Find her and have Igor's savings transfered to her. But if she really ran off

    JANEI find my fingers recoiling into my palms as I watched the man whose face brought back a long line of dark memories surging through me.He didn't change -Those eyes were still the same. Nothing to show as a man who had been through the cell. Or one who had reversed his ways. Nothing changed. Mario pulled the iron bars open so that we could see him clearly. My eyes burned as he fixed his on mine. Then his gaze rolls off like I'm nothing, landing back on Quinn. "You could've just killed me already!" He growled the moment Mario tore the tape off his mouth."Why? Two days of starvation, too much for you to handle?" Quinn asked. "I'm still here," He pointed to his stomach"And so are you,” he pointed back to Igor's leg.That's when I see - dripping blood from what looked like a bullet wound to the calf."What do you want with me?" He pants like his life is draining out of him. His face is swollen and his shirt soaked in sweat and bloodstains."Reflection, admittance, apologies, and p

    Jane's p o v I swallowed hard the moment I heard Quinn driving out and deepened my hands in my hair in an even deeper regret. "asshole." I cursed and hurried back to the table. Just as I sit down, I hear another car driving in and I close my book at once."That asshole is back " I cursed again as

    Quinn's p o v I opened the door noisily and the first thing I see when I get in is Lucia sitting flipping a page of the book at the table.I was standing with hands spread out against the wall rims, eyes sore and hair roughed.

    Jane's p o v I took a sharp breath before opening the door. Unlike the other mornings, where Emily would come to wake me, I had been eager to meet the day break so I could find something else to keep my mind occupied rather then the thought of last night's embarrassment."Quinn!!" I grumbled under

    Jane's p o v I stiffened and slowly waited watching his eyes as they began to lower slowly back to the phone. He sighed before leaning back. He had seen it hadn't he? I close my eyes and throw my face slowly to the side."You're not giving me an answer, Lucia." The roughness of his voice sends a
