The Shy Beauty and the Billionaire Beast (Ana and Jaxon) novel Chapter 22

*Ana's pnt of view*

"If I promise not to fight can you at least let me walk on my own?" I asked as he held me on his shoulder, as though I weighed close to nothing.

"As long as you don't push me." He warned, then he placed me down slowly.

As he did, his hand traveled from under my thighs, brushed over my butt, as my stomach, chest and twins rubbed slowly against him.

I took in a deep breath to try and calm the sudden heat that arose above my skin.

He looked down at me, his face oh so close.

His lips were practically kissing mine, except he wasn't.

He held eye contact with me, he inched his head closer, but not close enough, my heart was palpitating, my body ready for the jolt that would run through me once we kissed.

His eyes flashed between my lips and eyes, as he softly licked his lips.

I sighed in frustration as he teased me.

"What?" He murmured softly but that just sent my entire body into a frenzy.

"Just kiss me damn it!" I exclaimed.

He looked at me, and scrunched his eyebrows, then he said "no." And just like that he pulled away.

He stepped away from me, walked around me and out the door.

I stood there for good minute debating on whether I should follow him.

A few seconds later, however Jaxon simply walked back inside the house, grabbed my hand, and practically dragged me out.

He shoved me into the Limo, and I felt myself begin to protest.

"What is your problem?" I said, as I straightened myself up, while he got settled.

"I told you not to push me." He explained, as he suddenly sat next to me.

"Jaxon-"

"Shh, now, quiet down, my head hurts, I'm angry and I need to sleep." And just like that, he placed his head on my lap, and he drifted off to sleep.

I sighed bewildered, and disgruntled.

Couldn't this man take a hint?

I sighed and shook my head, it was going to be a long ride.

Eventually I managed to relax into the car ride.

I leaned my back on the back rest and I absentmindedly found my hand playing in his hair.

"Mhm, that's a nice way to wake up." He muttered, scaring me.

"Don't do that." I gasped, then realized his head was still on my lap.

"Jaxon are you awake?" I asked softly.

"Mmm yeah..." he muttered.

"Then get off!" I stated, slapping his arm, over and over again.

"Alright, okay. Relax, jeez." He said, yet his head didn't budge.

"Jaxon get off."

"Why?" He asked, as he turned on his back, his eyes boring into mine.

"Why? Because..." I simply shrugged.

"Because..." he stated in a tone, which hinted that I kept going.

"Because, I have a boyfriend, and I'm not a cheater." I stated, and his eyes suddenly became ice cold.

"Right." He said, and quickly got up. He moved away from me, and pulled out his laptop, pretending as though I was invisible.

"Jaxon-"

"Save it." He shut me down, and his cold tone sent an arrow to my heart.

I sighed, and played with my fingers shyly, but eventually I drifted off into a deep slumber, while the car lulled me to sleep.

I found myself waking up in a field of flowers, naked on a blanket, my body wrapped in a white sheet.

Jaxon's body was suddenly hovering over mine.  He snaked his arm under my back, causing my neck to be exposed to him.

He ran his nose on the side of my neck, softly, causing me to arch my back into his chest.

His nose traveled along my neck until he reached the base of my neck, where he landed a soft kiss, earning a soft sound from me.

I was angry, so angry, I would cry any minute.

"What is the problem?" He said with gritted teeth. He was mad.

"You! You're the problem! You no good for nothing a-"

"Finish the sentence." He dared me, his voice suddenly cold and dark.

"No good for morning what Ana? Finish the sentence!" He dared me, his eyes were suddenly replaced by a monster thirsty for blood.

He looked murderous.

"Just get off of me and let me go." I said softly looking away, tears prickling my eyes, yet I refused to let them fall.

"No." And just like that he got off of me, picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.

I struggled and protested, yet to no avail.

"Jaxon, Jaxon put me down!" I said yet I received no response.

"Jaxon put me down this instance!" I repeated, as he made his way to the front door of his mansion.

Oh God... I was back.

Jaxon opened the door, and from the second I heard her voice, I felt better.

"Jaxon put the poor girl down!" Protested Sonya, though her voice sounded softer.

"No Sonya, you're the one who told me I had to get her back, no matter what it takes. I'm getting her back." He said his voice cold. Unforgiving.

As he made his way up the stairs, my eyes landed on Sonya, she was leaning on a cane, and she didn't seem to be able to climb the stairs.

We made eye contact, and my tears began to fall.

"I meant in a civil way you nincompoop!" Replied Sonya as she took notice of my tears.

"Jaxon put me down this instance!" I said my anger kicking up a notch.

"Yeah not happening princess." He said shutting me up.

When we reached the top of the stairs, he turned and carried me to his room, where he dropped me on his bed, and left, locking me in his room.

I guess he was serious when he told me that.
