Ethan's POV
"I know you came prepared, so just take it out," I told the man before me as he pulled out his gun placing it on my table.
"And you know the reason why I came here?" He said.
"Of course. You messed with my woman."
"Your woman?" He scoffed.
"Yes," I simply stated as he stood from his seat moving towards me.
"Ah ah, be careful now Jay." I said rolling up my sleeves whilst I stood up walking towards my window swinging it open. "We wouldn't want you to commit suicide now would we?" I said as he looked at me in confusion my phone ringing as I ignored it.
Through the glass I saw Sam on his phone before he ended it looking towards me.
"There are others looking for her."
"Well too bad you can't touch her. Tell whoever that person is, they are going to have to come through me first to get to her," I said unlocking the door. "Or you will have me to deal with," I growled dangerously low pulling out my own gun.
I smiled watching the man walk out of my office his goons close behind him.

Talia's POV
"Sam how are you? Is Mr Shields in a meeting, he isn't picking up his phone you see," I mumbled.
"I am fine thank you ma'am. He is currently in a meeting with a Mr Jay," he responded as the phone slowly slid out of my hand.
Jay was at Ethan's office. Walking towards the door I was stopped by one of the security guards before turning to him.
"Don't you even dare try to stop me," I spat making the man stop as he tried to stop me. "Better yet drive me to Ethan's office," I huffed as he opened the door to the car that was already waiting out front.
"You what!" Ethan's voice boomed from his office as I got out of the elevator. "Why did you tell her he was here?" He growled.
Checking my surroundings I was somewhat relieved as I saw no bullet holes anywhere quickly rushing to his office.
Slamming the door open I ran towards him throwing my arms around him.
Ethan's POV
[Song for this scene: Be Together - Major Lazer]
I was furious with Sam for telling her Jay was here. About to pick up my phone to call home my door swung open as Lia ran into the room looking frightened. She threw her arms around me taking me by surprise. Looking at Sam he took the hint and left us alone.
"Did...did he hurt you. Are you okay," she said running her arms across my chest looking for any wounds.
"Hey hey, I am alright," I said stopping her as I cupped her cheeks wiping her tears away.
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault," she cried.
"It's not your fault. Don't you ever blame yourself. Besides I'm a big boy I can take care of myself, Jay on the other hand ran out of here like a little girl after we talked," I said pulling her along as I sat down.
"Don't," I growled as she tried to get away from me as I pulled her down onto my lap.
Sitting in silence I felt her slowly relax in my arms she rested her head on my shoulder.
"If Jay had a tutu he would have been the perfect ballerina, he didn't run out here more like leaped out that door reaching the staircase door in an instant," I chuckled making her laugh.
"Always the joker," she murmured.
"Always, just to put a smile on that pretty little face of yours."
Getting up she headed towards my door.
"I'll see you at home," she said softly as I locked the door, the glass wall become less transparent.
I had to thank my brother for these handy locks of his as I made my way to her. I smirked seeing what she had on, skinny jeans and one of my t shirts which was too big for her as her shoulder was slightly exposed.
"Oh come on Ethan open the door," she said trying to open the door.
She stopped tempering with the handle once she felt my chest pressed against her back.
"Wha...what are you doing?" She choked out as I inhaled her sent getting drunk on her scent.
I loved how she seemed to only stutter when I was close to her. I felt pleased I had that effect on her.
--------
Ignoring her question he slid his hand down her back to her waist loving how she quickly responded to his touch as she let out a small gasp.
"E..e...Ethan," she stuttered.
"You wear my shirt well," he whispered into her ear as he slowly assaulted her neck pulling her closer to him leaving his mark as her breathing became slightly heavy.
Turning her in his arms he looked at her before saying, "I want my hug before you leave, we are friends after all."
She put out her arms creating some distance between them.
"Frie..friends don't do what you just did," she said looking a bit troubled as he frowned at her.
"It won't happen again," he said with a sigh running a hand through his hair as she nodded her head in acknowledgment.
Biting her lower lip looking like she was thinking over her next words he went behind his desk and pressed the unlock button simply saying, "You can go."
She slowly opened the door before turning to look at him as he stood by his window looking outside hands in his pockets.
Walking towards him she called him making him turn to face her before she wrapped her arms around him. He slowly wrapped his own arms around her drawing her close as a smile broke on his features. His plan was working one way or the other.

Talia's POV
After that short hug he insisted on seeing me safely home. Getting into his black Lamborghini I fell in love with the cool interior but the cool atmosphere was short lived as he turned on his radio with a smirk plastered on his perfect lips as I started to wonder what they would feel like on mine.
Cookie by R Kelly blared through the speaker system as he pulled out of the underground garage. Speeding down the streets I held on for dear like as he came to a halt when the traffic lights turned red. The only sound was that of the not so friendly song considering our current situation. I reached out to change the song but Number 1 by R Kelly and Keri Hilson came on making me quickly change it only to hear Motivation by Kelly Rowland as I changed the tracks several time looking a friendlier song.
"So this is your kind of music," I said to break the 'silence' as I continued changing the songs.
He turned to give me his full attention as his eyes roamed up and down my body as he bit his lower lip. His face broke into a drool worthy smile before he said oh so softly, "I listen to everything."
Giving up I left Trading places by Usher playing.
"So this is you favorite?" He asked with a smirk.
"No," I said all too quickly. Who wasn't a fan of Usher? "Don't...don't you have..have another genre of music," I stuttered as he took my hand bringing it to his lips.
"What's wrong with this one," he said with a smirk as he gave me a look that had me shifting in my seat feeling rather uncomfortable.
"Noth....nothing. It's just...just," I stuttered as he chuckled changing the music as Glenn Lewis' - Fall Again started to play.
It was a lovely song that had me thinking of all the possibilities as we passed the main security booth to Blackwood estates. Somewhere along the way Body on me by Rita Ora and Chris Brown started playing as he wore a proud smirk once I realized he had changed the track on purpose. I found myself humming to the song as we drove up to the house. I expected him to park out front but instead he drove straight into his garage as the door automatically closed, lights coming on automatically.
Cutting the engine I waited for him to unlock the doors as he opened his door steeping out, walking around to open mine helping me out. Before I realized his intentions I was pinned between the hard contours of his body and that of his car as he assaulted my lips. Yes I think assaulted them could suffice as his large hands ran down my body exploring discovering in a delicious way as I wrapped my arms around his neck begging for more. Whatever he was doing he was very good at it as a moan escaped my lips once he bit down on my bottom lip. His hair felt so soft underneath my fingers as I tugged loving the feel of it. I reveled in its length as I gripped more of it hearing him grunt.
"Lia, Lia, Lia, what are you doing to me," he whispered tilting my head back as he attacked my neck seeking my weak spot leaving me breathless.
"E...than," I whispered in a voice I didn't even recognize before I realized what was actually happening. Pushing him away from me with all my strength I stood looking at him flustered.
"I...I need to go," I said leaving him flabbergasted as I ran out of the garage. Locking myself in the bathroom I looked at my reflection to see I was a complete mess. Lips swollen and hair disheveled. I had numerous hickeys. He gave me hickeys!
A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts as I opened it without asking who it was. I was taken by surprise as he stepped in locking the door behind him slowly walking towards me.

"Wha..what do you..you wa..want?"
"You," he said with a lopsided grin only his eyes showed his true intentions as he placed his hands on her waist lifting her up onto the counter stepping in between her legs.
"You..you.can't," she stuttered.
"I am, I can and I will have you Lia. This I promise you," he said nuzzling her neck before claiming her lips stealing her breath.
"Ethan no," she said breathlessly pushing him away.
"Lia why do you keep pushing me away. You know you want this as much as I do. I know you feel the same way as I feel about you. Why are you fighting us!" He growled in frustration.
"We can't," she whispered as she tried her best to hold back her tears. "We just can't," she said shaking her head no as if reassuring herself.
"Tell me why," he growled grabbing her shoulders shaking her.
"They will kill you like they did the last man I loved," she said making him drop his arms in defeat and shock as he stepped back thinking, she had loved another. "I could never like a womanizer like you. I have already been hurt enough by your kind. Drop dead gorgeous men who think they can have any woman they want. I have enough problems on my plate I don't want some crazy ex of yours coming and causing chaos in my already chaotic life. I know you have had a good share of women, most of them even better looking that myself. Do not think just because I respond to your touch I like you, because I don't. Liking you will on,y complicate my life further, I don't want the attention that comes with being associated with your apart from friendship. Just know that is all I can give you, friendship, in gratitude of you helping us ," she said as his expression turned from one of desire - shock - anger - till only one thing remained hurt.
Turning on his heel he left the room just as Marisa pranced into the room.
"Uncle Ethan!" She called out running into his arms.
"Hi there pumpkin," he said planting a kiss on her cheek. "How was your day?"
"It was fun. We played hide and seek and guess who won."
"Hmmm let me guess, Sally ."
"No!" She giggled.
"Bridgette," he said with a shocked expression. "How did she win?"
"No, try again," she giggle.
"Don't tell me Cain won," he said referring to the bodyguard assigned to her protection.
"No silly, I did," she chirped.
"Really, let's see what prize we can get you," he said carrying her towards the kitchen.
He sighed grateful she hadn't noticed her mothers disheveled state.

Talia's POV
It took a while to gather myself and look decent enough after covering his marks. Going in search for him just to make sure he was alright I found him in his study, music playing softly. My All - Mariah Carey was playing.
Slowly making my way to him I found his eyes closed as I stood looking at him. His dark lashes rested against his cheeks. Lips slightly parted as his chest rose and fell down rhythmically. A few locks of his hair had fallen onto his forehead making him look even more appealing. He was a beautiful man indeed and I realized how he had managed to make a career out of acting.
I was startled when I heard a deep voice say, "It's very rude to stare."
"I..I...I wasn't staring," I said quickly turning away from him as he took a sip of his whiskey.
"If you say so mi amore," he said closing his eyes once more.
(Tum Hi Ho by Aashiqui started playing.)
"What does the song mean," I asked after a few minutes of silence.
Now I can't live without you,
I'm nothing without you.
now I cant live without you,
I'm nothing without you.
If I go away from you,
I'll be away from myself.
He said opening his eyes to look at me.
Because its only you,
now its only you,
you are my life now,
peace in me and the pain too,
now my love is just you.
He said slowly getting up placing his glass by the bar walking over to his window to look outside hands in his pockets.
What's the relation between you and me!
That I cant get away for a moment...
I live for you everyday,
I give every moment of my life to you.
There's no moment without you,
there's your name in every breath.
Because its only you,
now its only you,
you are my life now,
peace in me and the pain too,
You are my love,
cause its only you,
because its only you,
now my love is just you.
As the song ended I couldn't even bring myself to look at him after that. "You have a very wide taste in music, it's...it's very nice," I said fidgeting thinking of what next to say but gasped as I saw a tear slowly run down his cheek.
"Ethan," I whispered stepping towards him only for his to stop me as he slowly walked up to me.
"Goodnight Lia," he said with a pained expression as I smelt the raw whiskey from his breath as his eyes glistened with un-shed tears.
