His Lovely Obsession (English)

(Stacey)

"W-What?" She asked with a stutter.

"You heard me honey." Derick said dryly.

She touched her throat. "Do I need to answer that right now?"

"Yes."

She suddenly felt a little chilly. She hugged herself. She also inhaled deeply as if she needs more oxygen to think properly.

She felt him put his jacket around her. She closed her eyes which are under the sleep mask. She sniffed his wonderful scent engulfing his jacket She thought he would wrapped his arms around her too but to her dismay, he seemed to have moved a few steps away from her.

She almost groaned in frustration. She is starting to feel annoyed. He seems to be teasing her. She knows that he can read her like a book so he probably sensed that she is longing for his touch. She decided to just deal with what seems like his ultimatum.

"So if I say no, that means we end everything? No more texts and phone calls?" she asked with a slight frown.

"I hope you won't say no honey." He said in a very cold voice.

She moistened her lips. Of course she couldn't see how his eyes darkened and his hands clenched on his sides.

"I just want to be sure of my feelings for you before we become a real couple, Derick. To be honest, I feel something for you but I don't think it's enough. Besides it is really very difficult if I say yes to be your woman. I want my family and friends to meet my boyfriend but how is that possible if you don't even want to show me your face?"

"I don't want other men around you so I want us to be official. You have to tell them to stay away from you because I won't permit it. I promise honey that I will still woo you even if you say yes to me tonight. You won't regret it. " he said in a calm voice with a hint of sweetness which made her frown. He didn't answer her question.

"Derick, that would only be possible if you let me see your face."

She heard him cursed again which made her sigh. This is one thing about Derick which really confuses her. His mood can easily switch from being sweet to angry. But she has to admit to herself that she finds it fascinating at times. He's an exciting mixture of a bad boy and a lover boy which turns her on. He always smells great and he has a great body. He had given her own body pleasure a few times. She felt her mouth went dry as she remembers how great he is in bed.

GOSH STACEY! You are beginning to sound like a wanton hussy! She scolded herself.

Now she is thinking if she can bear not meeting him again is she won't say yes. From what she heard from him, her doubts about him not being serious with her are slowly fading. The only thing which is holding her back is his real reason for not wanting her to see his face. He didn't directly say what it is. He just said that it will be to their advantage.

She had told him multiple times that she doesn't care how he looks like so he doesn't have to worry about that.

He doesn't want to show his face and he doesn't use his natural voice with her. He always speaks in a throaty voice.

What is he hiding from her?

"Honey.." she heard him call her.

She knows her answer.

She counted one to five. "No." she finally said. She wasn't surprised when he cursed.

"Will you just listen to me first before you become angry again?" she asked him with a heavy frown.

She could hear his shallow breathing. He is probably doing his best to control his temper again.

"I am all ears.." he said chillingly.

He promised himself that if she will say no, he will do his plan B though he hopes that he doesn't have to resort to it. His other plan is a little extreme. But desperate men do desperate things. He is capable of doing everything and anything to make her see, accept and realize that she belongs to him..only to him.

"I am saying no to being your girlfriend now but don't worry because I will not go out on dates with other men. But I keep my stand that until I make sure of what I really feel for you, I won't say yes." she said with finality.

With eyes like slits, he tried to absorb what she said. So far she has proven to him that she can be trusted. He began to trust her when she said she won't take her blindfold off the first time they were together. And if she is not true to her words, she can take off her sleep mask anytime she wants like now. But she hasn't.

You trust her but how about the men around her? You have seen how her good for nothing former boss and that f*cking bastard with tattoo look at her. And what about the other assholes you haven't seen and don't know about? he asked himself.

He angrily pulled his hair in frustration. "DAMMIT!" he loudly cursed which made Stacey gasped.

"I trust you but I don't trust the men around you!" he said through gritted teeth.

"Derick, I can protect myself...." she began but he interrupted her.

"You weren't able to protect yourself from me!" he said.

He saw her straightened her back. "That's because you are different. Extremely so. Blake and Tyler will never do what you've done to me because they know the real me." she said. Her voice is expressionless.

That hit home.

Serves you right asshole!-- he told himself.

"I said that not to bring back the nightmare of our first meeting. I just said that because you are being narrow-minded." she said. She is starting to get irritated with him again.

He became silent for a few moments and she just kept quiet too while waiting for him to speak again.

"Okay honey. I will wait but I hope it's okay if I do something when I witness anything I don't like. " he said icily.

She swallowed. " You will do what?"

"Something that a man would naturally do if he feels that someone is fucking with him. "His voice sounds very cold with a hint of menace.

"Like what?" she asked nervously.

"Beat up good for nothing assh*les."

"W-Why do you have to do that? T-Thats so..so..barbaric!" she said.

"Because you belong to me and I am the only one who has a claim on you! I will knock the living daylights out of somebody who will dare take you away from me!" he threatened.

She chewed the inside of her bottom lip. What he said scared her a bit but it also made her feel giddy. Most of the time she can't understand herself when she's with him. She is as confusing as he is.

"I am waiting for your answer honey."

She can be a one man woman so she finally nodded.

"Good!" she heard him say with satisfaction.

"I am holding to your promise but no hard feelings honey if I beat up somebody in case you break it. " he added.

She pouted.

"Will you stop saying that? You don't need to beat anyone because I don't have a plan of going out with any man after tonight." she said with a frown.

"Keep that in mind then. I can be very cruel honey ..." he chillingly said.

She felt fear creep up her spine. Derick is serious and she knows it.

But she tried to mask how she feels by saying, " And how about you? Will you not go out with other women too? It's very hard for me to know since I don't see you."

He seems to have moved closer to her. She felt his warm breath on the top of her head. He didn't touch her.

"I have no other woman. It's just you honey and I don't have any intention of being with other women so I expect you to be faithful to me too." he said throatily.

Somehow, she believes him. She stopped herself from smiling. She definitely feels giddy with what he said. Her desire to be kissed by him became more intense because of that. Maybe if she will tease him and make him a little jealous, he would finally kiss her.

"I will try Derick." she made her tone sound light.

"Don't try!Do it!" he ordered curtly.

She pouted before saying, "It's a little hard to stay faithful to someone you don't see but I will try."

(Nick)

FUCKING HELL! She is really asking for it! He thought.

He angrily removed his wound dressing then he pulled her to him by her nape. He did what he wasn't supposed to do.

He kissed her on the lips.
