Rise Of The Disgraced Heir

"Who was she?" Jas asked as she placed the glass down. "Who was that woman that was rubbing against you at the bar?"

"Someone that just came up to me." Ian said with a shrug.

He wasn't lying, she did just come up to him. He didn't invite her over or encourage her to be in any way sexual towards him.

"Bullshit!" Jas cursed.

"Jas, calm down. I would never cheat on you." Ian tried his best to reassure her as he gently rubbed her shoulders. "I love you, Jas."

"Do you really? Or are you just saying that because you're afraid to lose me?" Jas asked as she glared at Ian.

"Have I ever given you reason to doubt me Jas?" Ian asked.

"No." Jas responded as she shook her head and sighed.

"Jas, what are you doing here with me?" Ian asked as he finally let go of her. "If someone sees us it could mean trouble in your relationship with Mike." Ian told her.

"Because I want to be with you. I've missed you." Jas confessed.

"Why Mike, Jas?" Ian asked. "I know he is from a rich family, but he still isn't at the level that your family normally asks you to date."

"He's the apprentice of the CEO of the Reyes Group, he has influence and people listen to him." Jas told Ian as she looked away.

"Jas, that's a lie. That's the worst possible lie." Ian told Jas as he shook his head. "You know who I am at the Reyes Group, why didn't you ask me?"

"Because it doesn't matter Ian!" Jas shouted, making Ian jump a little. "You might be the personal assistant to the CEO, but if no one knows then your word against Mike's is worthless."

"Jas, it's not my choice to keep my role a secret. It's part of my job." Ian desperately tried to explain.

"And I'm not blaming you." Jas said as she tried to calm her temper. "Ian, I know you don't have a choice and this isn't your doing. But out there in the real world, Mike's word holds more water than yours."

"Jas, be careful." Ian warned.

"Why? Mike is the top salesman in Krisanta Land, I doubt he is in any danger that can affect me." Jas said as she gave Ian a slight smile.

"Mike already lies about being the CEO's apprentice. He could be lying about more things." Ian said with a sigh as he struggled not to tell Jas about the actions the Reyes Group was taking against Mike and Armand.

Ian trusted Jas. He trusted her with his life, he just didn't want to risk her spilling the plans to Mike or anyone in her family that knew Mike. 

"Ian, I'm not going to take this relationship with him any further." Jas said as she cupped Ian's face in her small hands. "I love you, my future is with you and you alone." 

"I love you too Jas, but you have to admit, our situation is an odd one." Ian said with a frown. "We're together but your family keeps setting you up with men that they feel are more appropriate than me."

"They can set me up, I can go on dates, but that will never change anything." Jas swore as she looked intensely in Ian's eyes.

She slowly lifted herself and sat on Ian's lap. 

Ian wrapped his arm around her waist making sure she didn't fall off of him. He could also feel something stirring in him, he was getting aroused by having his girlfriend sit on his lap in a bar.

"You are the only man I will ever marry." Jas said as he planted a kiss on his lips. "You are the only man I have ever loved." She said as she kissed him again.

Ian smiled at her as he adjusted her on his lap, making sure that she didn't feel his arousal, but it was too late.

He felt Jas rub herself against him, making him harder and turning him on even more. 

"I only do that for you." Jas said as he moved to kiss him, but Ian needed to be in control at this moment.

He held the back of her head with one hand and pressed her lips onto his, savoring the sweet taste of her lips. 

Jas giggled as their lips parted, nipping at his lips playfully and wiggling on his lap. 

"You'll need to fix this." Ian warned as he lowered his head onto her neck, trailing kisses and playfully sucking on it. 

"I missed this." Jas moaned, not caring that they were in a public place where others could hear her. "I missed you."

"Well, I wasn't the one running around with other men." Ian hissed as he playfully bit her earlobe making Jas laugh.

"Yeah, you were running around with Camilla." Jas complained as she rolled her eyes at Ian.

"I told you, I'm not attracted to her and she isn't attracted to me." Ian said in an angry tone. He wasn't happy that Jas was hostile to Camilla. He saw the woman as his friend, his ally, one of the few people that could understand his situation and dared to care.

"Well it would have helped if you told me she was dating Seth." Jas complained.

"Enough." Ian scolded as he captured her lips in his and let his hands trail to her sides, touching her and exploring her body.

"Ian! Gross!" Camilla suddenly said as she, Seth, and Armand suddenly appeared next to them.

"Get a room you two," Seth teased as Ian laughed in embarrassment. He didn't expect for them to be back so soon.

"We should go." Jas said as she moved back down to her seat and wiped her now smeared lipstick. 

"Yeah, I'll take you home." Ian said as he pulled Jas out of the booth.

He quickly said goodbye to Camilla, Seth, and Andre before finally leaving and making his way with Jas to his car.

One of Seth's men was waiting for them and tossed him his keys.

"Thanks." Ian told the man.

"Anything for a friend of the boss' . Drive safe Mr. Lim." The man said with a slight bow as he left Ian and Jas alone.

Ian helped Jas into his car before climbing in himself. 

As he drove towards Jas' apartment, Jas suddenly placed a hand on his arm and spoke up.

"Don't take me home." Jas suddenly said.

"Should I take you to your parents' place?" Ian asked innocently.

He knew that no matter how much he wanted to have her and be with her tonight it would be impossible. To the public she was dating Mike and her coming out of Solaire or his car tomorrow would lead to rumors that could harm the Ortega family.

"No, I want to be with you. Take me to your place." Jas said, shaking her head surprising Ian.

"Are you sure?" Ian asked. "What about Mike?"

"Mike can go fuck himself, tonight I want you." Jas said in a desperate tone making Ian quickly change direction and drive them towards Solaire Towers.

He didn't need any additional coaxing, he wanted Jas and he craved for her. Her approval was more than enough.
