"Sneaking out on me again?" Baron asked.

Aubrey sighed as she pulled the blouse down. Baron stared into the back of the light golden brown haired woman.

"Yes, I am," she answered.

She sat down on the edge of the bed to pull her boots on. She felt him move around on the bed behind her, and then her blouse got pulled halfway up her back, and his warm lips connected with her spine. A dirty trick of his. He knew exactly every little thing that made her body react.

"Why?" He asked.
"You know why," she answered.
"Would it really be so bad if anyone found out we're together?" He asked.
"We're not together," she answered.
"We could be," he said.

He kept kissing up and down her spine between his words. She tilted her head back slightly and let out a moan.

"You want me," he said.
"I wouldn't be in your bed if I didn't," she said.
"So let's make it official," he said.

He pulled her down to lie on the bed and leaned over her, so he could look into her bright green eyes. He had that smirk on his face again. That smirk that indicated he had already won. His fingers lightly slid over her jeans covered crotch and up to toy with the button.

"I wanna date you. I want you to be mine for real. I'm tired of all this sneaking around. It's been a month like this, and I want you," he said.
"Baron," she sighed.
"What's stopping you?" He asked.
"Nothing," she answered.
"Bullshit! It's Seth, isn't it? You're in love with him. I fucking knew it!" He sneered.
"No!" She said annoyed.
"You don't wanna date me because you don't want him to see you with another man. You're just waiting for him to leave Mandy. You're using me to make him jealous," he said.
"That makes zero sense. If I wanted to make him jealous, I would let him see us together," she said.

He sighed and stroked her cheek. That victorious smirk was gone, and his eyes were hard. Sometimes he scared her when he got that look on his face.

"Am I not good enough?" He asked.
"You are," she answered.
"Don't you feel anything for me?" He asked.
"I do," she answered.
"Then why? I'm in love with you, Aubrey. Stop toying with my heart. If you feel something, make a choice. Be with me or leave me. I can't do this anymore," he said.

He suddenly started crying, crashing down, burying his head in the crook of her neck and squeezing her tightly.

"Don't fucking leave me, Aubrey! Be with me! Be mine!" He sobbed.
"Okay," she slid her hands down his naked back. "Let's give it a shot."
"Really?" He raised his head with a smile.
"Yeah, really," she said. "I do feel something for you, Baron. I wouldn't have continued being with you if I didn't. I'm just not used to this friends with benefits thing, so my mind is kinda messed up about it."
"Well, not anymore," he grinned. "You're mine now, and you're staying the night."

It was weird how he could turn around like that. Going from accusing, to sad, to happy. Sometimes he was all over the place. If he had felt like she was toying with him, it made sense somehow. She felt him pop open the button of her jeans, and then he pulled down the zipper. That victorious smile of his was back.

So this was it. She was officially in a relationship. She was Baron Corbin's girlfriend. It wasn't a bad title when she thought about it. And she did feel something. She just wasn't sure how much, or if it was enough.

She would never tell him that he was right. That Seth was the reason, she wanted to keep it secret. When Seth started dating Mandy, Aubrey had locked away her feelings and pretended to be happy for him. Seth was her friend, and he would never be anything else. After a while she had started this thing with Baron, and she didn't want Seth to know. It was time she let go of those feelings completely and allowed herself to move on.

"I love you," he groaned in her ear. "You're mine."

She tensed up by those words. How did he go from being in love to suddenly loving her within a few minutes? She guessed, it made sense somehow. They had been sleeping together for a month. He could have started loving her within that time frame. She wasn't ready to say it back though.

"I'm yours," she whispered. "All yours."
