Chapter 16- Possessive

As soon as I said yes Cole took my lips in a searing kiss as his hand went around my waist like he was trying to stop me from running away, but I wasn't planning to. I wrapped my arms around him and he continued kissing me seeming not to get enough. He only stopped kissing me when both of us needed to breathe.

" You don't know how fucking happy this makes me, I'm going to take care of you, no one would be able to touch you, because you're mine," He said possessively as he kissed me again.

" Stop, someone might see us," I mumbled against his lips as he bit my lips dragging it before he released it.

" Let's go," He said, taking my hand as we both returned to our table.

He pulled the chair for me and I sat down thanking him, he took his own seat and we called for the waiter who was just standing outside.

The waiter smiled warmly at me and I returned the smile but as I turned to Cole he had that look on his face like he wanted the poor guy gone as soon as possible.

The waiter took our order and left and we just stared at each other.

" What?" I asked as I couldn't take his stare any longer looking down.

" You're beautiful," He whispered.

" You've said that before," I told him.

" You're my girlfriend now, so know you'll be hearing it more often," He said and I couldn't help but blush.

The waiter returned with food and he dropped the food while I smiled at him saying thank you.

" What?" I asked Cole who had a pout on his lips.

" Your smile, I'm not saying you shouldn't smile at others but I feel jealous when you smile so brightly to someone that isn't me, I want to be the one to always make you smile, I want that beautiful smile all for myself, that's selfish right?" He asked as he took my hand, stretching my hand to him, and kissed my open palm.

" How did I get so lucky?"

We ate our food in comfortable silence and even as we were eating he didn't release the hand he was holding, he kept rubbing his thumb on the back of my hand and the gesture warmed my heart.

" You know it was funny to see how jealous you looked when I told you I was taking a woman out, you looked so cute that I almost broke the act,"

" I wasn't jealous, I don't know what you're talking about," I said looking anywhere but his eyes, I was a blushing mess. So he knew I was jealous.

" Yeah, I'm going to pretend I didn't see you packing an already packed bag,"

" Stop it," I said hitting his hand but he only chuckled.

" You're cute,"

We finished eating and it was time to go. Cole took my hand but I pulled out and he didn't like it one bit.

"What's wrong?" He asked with a frown.

" You're forgetting that we agreed to keep our relationship a secret which means we can't be seen holding hands, kissing, or doing anything couples-related in public, someone who knows you might use it against you," I said.

" I hate that it has to be this way," He groaned before he bent to kiss my lips like he was taking enough kisses to help him get through the time he wouldn't be touching me.

" Okay, no touching in public, even if I hate that,"

" Let's go," I said as we both made our way out, not touching, not as couples but as a boss and his secretary.

I got into the car this time without Cole opening the door for me because I warned him not to. As soon as he got in, he took my hand as he started the car, and drove us out of the restaurant.

" Can I pick you up tomorrow?" He asked as soon as he stopped me in front of my house.

" No way, Cole we need to talk about this, our relationship is a secret relationship, I…" He stopped me.

" I hate that it has to be like this, I hate it, I want to show you to the world, so the next time I take you as my date, none of those dudes are going to be looking at you the way they did the last time," He groaned.

" I'm yours,"

" Say that again," I chuckled.

" I'm yours," I said and he gave me a charming heart-melting smile.

" Back to what we were saying, you can't sway me with your smile, you can't pick me or drop me any longer," He frowned.

" What would people say if they saw your car come to drop me off every day?"

" I'll change cars, they wouldn't know it's me," He said and I burst into laughter. What a showoff.

" That isn't going to work either, I have my own car, please, if you want this to continue,"

" Are you threatening me, Miss Fredrick?" He asked as his hand came to rest on my cheeks and then he rubbed his thumb on my lips. My breath hitched.

" Good night, beautiful, wear pants tomorrow or I might be tempted to raise that short skirt you like wearing and do terrible things to you in my office, just a warning," my legs clenched and he saw it.

" Fuck, you're tempting me when you know I can't touch you yet," He whispered.

" Goodnight," I rushed out of the car before he could grab me laughing as I ran to my door.

I opened the door and got in locking it.

" Bella, are you home?" I asked but didn't get any response, I couldn't help but chuckle thinking of how I found her yesterday.

She had a morning shift so she was supposed to be home.

" Why do you look so happy with that smile that looks like a man is responsible for it,"

" We're dating,"

" What?!" Bella asked as she looked at me in shock.

" You and the hottie billionaire, like your boss?"

" Yeah," I said as I went to sit on the couch.

" But I told him we should keep our relationship a secret because I don't want any trouble,"

" Are you sure about this Anna, I don't want you to get hurt," She said, coming to sit beside me.

" I don't know Bells, I thought the same thing, but I just want to live in the moment, that's what he said,"

" But for how long?"
