Chapter 27

Ana widened her eyes a little as she looked at Jack. The atmosphere in her office had taken a different turn. It wasn't aggressive and tense any longer, just so fucking heavy and sexy. Ana swallowed.

"Cat got your tongue?" Jack asked in a whisper, looking down at Ana with a fire in his eyes that could not be mistaken. She swallowed and licked her lips unconsciously.

Jack's eyes followed the movement of her tongue then bent down and placed a soft and almost chaste kiss on her lips. She gasped softly and Jack placed another kiss on her lips. This one was more passionate and it conveyed emotions both of them could not even start putting in words.

Finally, their lips left each other's and Jack rested his chin on Ana's head, then placed a kiss on her forehead. Ana smiled and closed her eyes. This kind of affection felt nice. Actually, nice was am understatement. It was more than nice. It was something she couldn't even start putting in words.

"Let's pack up your stuff and leave," Jack said and Ana followed his movements. He didn't even wait for her to start packing, just went ahead and picked her bag, put her phone in it then turned to her. "Is there anything else I should put in your bag?" he asked.

Ana shook her head mutely, a bit surprised. Not even Landon was this gallant towards her. It was a pleasant sensation that it brought though. And Ana wasn't complaining. It was making her feel special. Maybe to some people, it wouldn't be considered goals, but it was too freaking cute for her.

Finally, Jack was done. He went on to open the door for her and she smiled. Ana was not thinking too long term but honestly, she hoped she and Jack lasted. Because at the rate at which all this was going, he was spoiling her for all the other guys she was going to meet.

When they got into the elevator, Ana stopped. "Wait! You brought your car right?" she asked and Jack frowned a little.

"Yeah I did. Why?" he asked, looking at her with that intense gaze of his.

"Cause I brought mine too. Whose car are we going to use? And how will the other.. you know," Ana asked, a little bit at a loss for what words to use.

"Don't bother about it. I'll call Henry to come take your car and drop it at your place later," Jack answered and Ana nodded. Then she frowned and the quick change of expression on her face made Jack chuckle a bit.

"Who's Henry?" she asked.

"My driver," Jack replied with a smirk. And it took Ana back to the night they had first met. Yeah, it was hazy, but she definitely remembered them kissing and groping each other with no inhibitions and no car about the driver. Who was apparently called Henry. Ana blushed and turned her face and Jack's smirk transformed into full blown laughter.

"Stop laughing at me!" Ana exclaimed, pouting.

"Can't. You too fucking funny kitten," Jack said, with an intonation on the word kitten. Ana blushed again and hit Jack lightly.

"Yeah well, this kitten is wild and she bites," Ana retorted, rolling her eyes. Jack came close to her (not really a mighty feat as the elevator was not all that big) and blocked her against the wall. Ana looked up at him and gulped. He was for lack of a better word.. intense.

"Oh really? She does?" he asked and leaned closer to her. Her eyes were half closed now and her breath was little but choppy. It was funny how a change in tone could affect her whole being.

"Yeah," Ana answered, breathless, then added, "Hard". Jack chuckled and bent to the level of her lips

"Show me," he whispered and Ana placed her lips on his. As soon as they were about to start kissing, the ding! of the elevator sounded and they jumped apart. They looked at the door then looked at each other and started laughing. Nobody was getting in, just them who had to get out.

As they walked out of the elevator, Ana pretended like she didn't see all the stares they were getting. They were in a fashion magazine anyways. These people gossiped for a living. Ana wouldn't be surprised if the next day she heard that she was Jack's mistress and was carrying his love child (which was not far from the truth anyways)

"So what's this surprise you have?" Ana asked as soon as they got out. She really didn't want anybody from the office to hear. She already knew her name was going to be all over the gossip mill the next day. But she didn't need exaggerations either.

She got into the car after Jack has opened the door. Then waited till he got in and shot an expectant look at him. She was still waiting for his response.

"As you said rightly, it's a surprise. So you'll wait," he said, winking. Ana laughed a little.

Watching him was fun. And it didn't feel creepy at all. Ana was kind of scared at the extent of the feelings she had for Jack. Like he had surpassed basically everybody she had ever known in like all domains. He was almost perfect. Almost. And Ana was scared that when she was going to fall down from her high, she was going to break her bones into millions of pieces.

The car ride was fun. They kept on flirting and Jack kept on teasing Ana and making inappropriate jokes and comments just to see that almost shy smile come on her face. It was entertaining but kind of endearing at the same time.

"Why do you like teasing me?" Ana asked, almost choking on her laughter when he said a particularly inappropriate one.

"Because it's fun." Because I love seeing you smile.

Jack did not know where the fuck that had come from but he knew it was the truth. He was getting attached to this girl in ways he had never imagined possible.
