Keifer's POV – Sparks of Jealousy
Keifer had been trying to stay calm, but seeing the new male employee laugh a little too close to Jay made his chest tighten painfully. Her smile—bright, effortless, entirely hers—was meant for him, and seeing someone else enjoying it lit a fire in his veins.
That's enough, he thought, jaw tightening. The employee quickly excused himself, sensing the dark edge in Keifer's stare, and left.
Keifer turned to Jay, voice low and commanding:
"Jasper Jean Mariano. Come. My. Cabin."
Jay's POV – Pulse Racing
Her heart jumped at the sound of her full name. She swallowed hard. "Y-yes… Keifer," she whispered, following him silently, heels clicking against the floor. Every step closer to him made her stomach twist with anticipation.
Keifer's POV – The Cabin
As soon as they entered, he closed the door behind them with a soft click. Before she could react, he stepped in, pressing a hand to the wall beside her, trapping her in place. His other hand rested firmly on her waist, holding her close.
"Ke… Keifer…" she whispered, her voice trembling.
"No one else can have you," he growled, eyes dark and dangerous. "Not him. Not anyone. You're mine, Jay. Only mine."
Her pulse raced, heart hammering. The heat between them was almost unbearable.
The Confession and Kiss
Jay's lips trembled. "I… I want… you too," she admitted, voice low, raw with emotion.
Keifer didn't wait. His lips crushed hers in a hot, possessive kiss, hands gripping her waist firmly, pulling her impossibly close. She pressed against him, hands tangling in his jacket, knees weak with desire.
His lips left hers for a second, only to trail teasingly along her jawline and neck, whispering just above her ear:
"You have no idea how much I've wanted this… how much I've wanted you."
Jay shivered, breath hitching. "Keifer…" she murmured, pressing back against him, heat radiating between them.
The kiss deepened, aggressive yet urgent, their bodies pressed together. Every nerve ignited, every heartbeat thundered. The cabin seemed to shrink around them, leaving only the two of them in a storm of desire.
When they finally pulled back, foreheads resting together, breaths mingling, Keifer's eyes burned with dark triumph.
"You're mine," he whispered, low and dangerous. "And don't you ever forget it."
Jay's cheeks flushed crimson, body trembling, heart racing. She could only nod, lost in the fire of him, knowing in her bones that nothing—and no one—would come between them.
