BXBX NOVEL Chapter 99 - She Took The Bait
Why does it look like he is trying to avoid my stares? What is his reason for doing this and why does he keeps pretending as though he doesn't know me when we are well acquainted?
Jasmine thought looking so deep in thoughts. Jackson used her momentary distraction to slip away.
"You..," Jasmine pointed at him when she realised that he was now on the stairs. She hurried after him.
When she caught up to him, he was just about to shut the door to his room but Jasmine quickly holds onto the slightly opened door before it could close.
"I want my contract back, Jackson. The time for play is over so let's talk about the real deal," Jasmine finally revealed her reason for always following him.
"You really want the contract, right? I dare you to enter this room?" Jackson said in his cold husky voice. Jasmine froze at the spot when she heard his words. She stares at his half-naked body in realisation. She instantly looked away when she noticed that she was beginning to develop naughty thoughts towards him.
"You wouldn't dare right?" Jackson said provocatively as he slowly tried to close the door.
"Who said I wouldn't dare?" Jasmine said holding the door before it could close fully.
She has taken the bait. This is fantastic!
Jackson said smiling inwardly.
Seeing that Jackson was still holding firmly onto the door, Jasmine wearing a white trouser stretched her right leg to push open the door with force but the cruel Jackson who had expected this from the short-tempered lady let go of the door at the last minute. And because of this Jasmine lost her balance and when she was just about to fall he was there to catch her by the wrist and pulled her onto himself. Jasmine ended up getting so close to him. Her body pressed against his bare body without any gap to separate them. Their lips were just a few inches away from meeting. Jasmine could feel his warm breath against her face.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Jasmine asked as she tried to pull away but Jackson instantly placed his left hand on her waist to prevent her from leaving his embrace.
"What else if not the same thing you have been doing to me?" Jackson said as he caresses her face with his right hand.
"Hey, don't you dare touch me. I particularly hate when men make the first move," Jasmine said sounding irritated with his touch.
"Jasmine, what were you think entering the room of a half-naked man? Did you think that I was some Saint that can resist the tempting body of a beauty who has deliberately entered my den? What do you think happens to a human who dares to enter the den of starving vampires? Won't that human be eaten alive by those hungry bloodsuckers?" Jackson asked as he playfully teased her ear with his tongue.
"You...," Jasmine said not knowing what to say to scold the shameless guy who dared to take advantage of her.
Jasmine, why are you acting like a damsel in distress when you know how to fight? Why did you even learn to fight if not for this moment?
Jasmine reprimanded herself as an evil grin appears on her beautiful face afterwards.
"I am not that foolish human who will enter the dens of hungry vampires without any plans. I, Jasmine Avans is not helpless," Jasmine said as she raised her right leg to hit him by the groin. Jackson moved some distance away before her leg could reach him. If her leg had peradventure reaches his groin he would be writhing in pains now but thank goodness it didn't touch him.
"You almost made me fatherless, do you know that?" Jackson asked as he lowered his gaze to look at his little thing which was almost crushed. He heaves a sigh of relief when he saw that no harm has come to his little brother.
"That serves you right for trying to seduce me. I wonder what you would have told your future wife happened to you if you had become impotent because of my hit," Jasmine said grinning wickedly.
"Aren't you the queen of seducing, why did you get furious just because I touched you? Didn't you always have fun touching men and making them hard down there so why does a little touch irritate you?" Jackson asked as he took bold steps towards her.
"Stop right there, I am not gonna take pity on you if you dare come any closer," Jasmine warned as she moved backwards.
"Do I look like one who listens to warnings?" Jackson asked as he continued approaching her. Jasmine throws a punch when she saw that Jackson won't listen to her. If Jackson did not dodge her punch on time she would have succeeded in fracturing his well-sculptured nose.
The agile Jackson holds her hand before she could retract it.
"You know how to fight? Why wasn't it mentioned in the details about you?" Jackson asked as he continues to hold her outstretched hand.
"Wouldn't I have been bullied by those pack of wolves called men if I didn't know how to defend myself? Would I have been so feared if I was the type to be easily messed with?" Jasmine asked as she smiles devilishly at him.
"Apart from my seductive charms this is another reason why men dare not get into my bad books," Jasmine said as she raised her right leg to kick him. Jackson instantly let go of her hand and hold her stretched forth leg.
"Thank goodness I am not the type to be easily messed with or else I would have gotten beaten up badly by you if I didn't know how to fight. How would I have open my mouth to tell my peers that I was beaten up badly by a woman?" Jackson said as he placed the leg on his chest.
"What is so bad about being beaten up by a woman?" Jasmine asked as she stretched her hand to punch him again on the cheek but Jackson holds her hand and turns her around before he finally pulled her close to himself.
"Apart from knowing how to sweet talk a man, you are very fierce and this happens to be the traits countless men love a woman, so tell me, is this why all the men adore you? Are your fierceness and beauty the reason why men who have fallen prey to you can't seem to take their eyes off you even after what they have been through in your hands?" Jackson whispered seductively into her ears, his hot breath against her bare skin made her shiver.
"Yes, that is the reason they call me the villainess, so what do you care?" Jasmine asked fiercely as she tried to free herself but all her efforts to make Jackson release her was futile.
"Jasmine, why do you have the habit of saying mean words just to make people misunderstand you...,"
"Why else if not because I am mean? Ladies hate me because I am beautiful. They call me a spoiled little brat and even though what they said was not true, I became that mean spoiled little brat they called me. I terrorise their lives and homes, doesn't that make me a villainess and mean witch just like they have always called me? How is that considered a misunderstanding?" Jasmine asked in a fierce tone? At that moment she wishes she could look into his eyes so she could read his expression but with her back pressing against his chest, she could not do that.
"Although you often act in a manner that makes people regard you as a villainess, I know that deep down you are a good person. You pretend not to feel pain but I know that that you are hurting within. You act like you can or can never shed a tear but the way you conceal your feelings so perfectly shows that you cried a lot in the past. You are a kind person, so why do you always act the opposite of how you truly feel?" Jackson asked as he slowly turns her around so that she was facing him.
For a split second, he could see and even feel the pains in her eyes but those pains vanish in a flash just like they came.
Damn him for saying all these words! Darn him for stirring up the emotions that I have been trying so hard to conceal.
Jasmine cursed within. His words ignited her anger that she had hidden away for so long.
"Hey, Mr Jackson stop pretending like you know me just because we have met up a few times and also grab a drink a few times because you know nothing about me. Stop trying to guess my thoughts because you can never fathom the pains and all I have been through in the hand of a man," Jasmine blurted out her feelings in a feat of anger. Jackson just stares at her, he dare not try to pry answers from her when he saw just how furious she was.
