The Shy Beauty and the Billionaire Beast (Ana and Jaxon) novel Chapter 21

*Ana's pnt of view*

I stood frozen, without moving.

"Ana-" before he could say anything more I lifted my hand, and he heeded my gesture and said nothing else.

With a shake of my head, I pulled out two pans, a bag of bacon from my freezer, a pancake mix from my cabinet, and I began moving around the kitchen.

Jaxon remained quiet, just watching me cook, I refused to acknowledge his presence, and I appreciated the fact that he kept his distance and respected my silent treatment.

Once the pancakes were ready, I plated some for me, and left the rest in the pan, I did the same for the eggs and bacon, if he wanted something, he could get it himself.

I didn't bother to excuse myself, I just grabbed my plate, my cup of coffee, and I headed out to the patio in my backyard.

I sat down on one of the lounge chairs, and a few seconds later he followed suite.

He sat next to me, yet said nothing, we both ate in silence.

Once we were done, we sat quietly for a while longer, until his phone rang.

"Hello? Yes, what? No, alright, I'll be back tomorrow."

"I have to head out tomorrow." He sated now addressing me.
I remained silent.

"Ana-"

"What Jaxon? What? I don't care. Leave, and never come back, matter of fact don't even wait for tomorrow, go now, leave!" I stated, my anger rising manager, my blood boiling, my heart racing, and my breathing accelerated.

"That was a call from Marcell, I hired him after you left, he called me to let me know that Sonya is ill."

"What?! You didn't tell me she was sick!"

"You didn't give me the chance." He shrugged.

"I didn't give you a chance? I didn't give you a chance?! You've had way too many chances, but you were so busy trying to get into my pants that you didn't even bother to tell me she was sick? God you're unbelievable!" I snapped and placed my hand on my forehead.

Sonya was sick.

"So would you like to go back and see her? Maybe stay with her for a few days? I promise I will not do anything to make you uncomfortable, and I will give you your space, but please Ana you have to come back, if not for me, then for Sonya. Just for a few days, that's all I ask." He pleaded, as he looked over at me, he totally ignored my earlier comments.

This man was honestly unbelievable.

His eyes were glistening, there were so many emotions brewing in them, he was mysterious, he was a bastard, and a heartless crude cruel son of a biscuit, but Sonya, that's who I cared about, and she needed help.

The only problem was the fact that I don't know he's going to keep his promise.

"How do I know you're not going to break your promise?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.

His eyes flashed to my lips, as he licked his, I looked down at his, and regretted it, when we made eyes contact again he smiled and got close as he whispered close to my lips, "you don't... but I'll try my very best to be a good boy. "

I gasped and stood away from him, I felt a blush resting on cheeks as I turned and said "see it's things like that you can't do."

"Things like what?" He said his eyes looking at me slowly from head to toe, his gaze was causing goosebumps to rise everywhere, and certain places in the anatomy of my body wanted to act far from normal, but the moment was cut short when I heard a voice from inside.

"Ana?" His voice registered in my ear, and my heart sunk.
I quickly ran towards the inside of my house where I found John placing his bag down and looking at me with a smile.

"John! What are you doing here? I thought you were coming back tomorrow?" I asked already feeling in my gut that something was definitely about to go down.

"Um, you know, turns out I didn't have to stay that long-" he suddenly stopped as his eyes flashed behind me, and I already knew what he was looking at... or in this case who.

"Um..." I looked behind me and found Jaxon standing there calmly his hands in his pockets, his gaze hooded, and just penetrating John's glare.

"Uh John, this is Jaxon, Jaxon, John." I stated awkwardly as I waved my hand between

them.

"Nice to meet you." Said John in a low tone, that didn't fit his character.

"Oh okay, Ana I'm sorry that you're a cheating s**t who needs to be taught a lesson" he said turning to me, then he looked at Jaxon and Said "happy?"

In a split second Jaxon tackled John to the ground.

I gasped as tears began blurring my vision.

Jaxon straddled John, holding him by the collar of his shirt, he started to throw punches, one, two, three.

He was relentless, he didn't look like he would slow down anytime soon.

John tried to pry him off, but Jaxon's angry blue eyes looked murderous.

"Jaxon! Jaxon enough! Stop! Stop!” I exclaimed as I grabbed his arm midair, his eyes flashed to me and I gasped, now afraid for my own life.

He let go of a near to unconscious John, who's head just plopped to the floor.

Jaxon stood above John's body, his knuckles bloody, he approached me in a predator like manner.

"Jaxon-" before I could finish my sentence, his lips were on mine, he kissed me desperately, as though he was lost, and he was looking for something.

He suddenly pulled away, grabbed my arm and began dragging me out "let's go!"

"What? No Jaxon! Jaxon let go!" I snapped pulling my hand from his.

"No?" He said turning back to me, his eyes wild.

"No!" I said standing my ground.

But to stand my ground, I'd have to actually be on the ground, the next second I was dangling from Jaxon's shoulder.

I went for my earlier move, but one hand traveling up the back of my thigh caused me to freeze.

"Bite me again, and I will take you on the couch, so your boyfriend can witness it, and I will make sure the entire state of Maryland hears you yelling my name. "
