Melissa took a sip from her glass before she started talking. She settled into a more comfortable position, pulling her legs closer to her body and hugging her knees.

-"About six months after I left for Europe someone started stalking me. While I was in London I would travel once or twice a month to visit different European cities. I would get envelopes at work and at home filled with post cards. Post cards of the places I visited. For instance if I went to Milan over the weekend and saw Duomo di Milano, I would get an envelope that would have post cards with the cathedral on it. I then went to the police and asked for their help but they couldn't find a single thing so I fled home, hoping it would stop. I was hoping that my stalker wouldn't be able to follow me here. And I was wrong. The first day I got back I got an envelope full of cards of places I visited in London."

Olivia frowned when Melissa finished her story. She grabbed her glass of wine and settling herself against the couch cushions she studied her old friend. Eventually she gave a long sigh before answering her.

-"Girl, you need to talk to your ex. Ask him to take a look into this. I know you don't want him to get even more involved in your life than he already is but he should know what's going on. Since the police have no idea who's behind this I think your ex is your best chance of handling it."

Melissa turned her head to look out the window towards Eric's house. She bit her lip, frustrated. Ever since she came back home she had been tempted to go running to Eric and let him know what was going on. However, Melissa didn't feel any comfort at all at the idea of letting him creep back into her life again. .

While she had no doubt Eric would step in to help her, Melissa felt that she wouldn't like the price she would have to pay for Eric's help. Olivia sighed watching Melissa ponder the idea. She knew her friend had been hurt by Eric's past actions, however, Olivia had seen them together before and the way Eric looked at Melissa clearly stated that she meant a lot to him. Whatever it was that made Eric hurt Melissa, Olivia felt that they now had a second chance at dealing with it.

The two women continued talking through the evening. Olivia ended up spending the night in the spare bedroom. Melissa tossed and turned in her bed the entire night, her mind going over her relationship with Eric.

-"Eric what the fucking hell do you think you're doing? You had no right to grab me away from my date. Just who the hell do you think you are? What's the matter with you?" Melissa felt pissed. She had been on a very pleasant date with one of her father's junior associates when all of the sudden Eric showed up and kicked her date out of her house.

He had then dragged her to his own house, not stopping even though Melissa had trouble keeping up with his long paces. Once they reached his house he pushed her inside it, slamming the door behind her. Melissa had made her way to the living room and than she started yelling at him.

Eric had let her yell at him, taking long breaths trying to calm down. Once Melissa was done yelling he grabbed her arm and bringing her body close to his he crushed their lips together in a kiss. He then pushed Melissa against the wall, knocking one of his paintings off it. Melissa tried to push his body away from hers, but he simply grabbed her hands and kept them above her head in a tight lock.

-"Just consider yourself lucky I didn't beat the living shit out of the poor moron. I'm only going to say this once, Melissa. If you ever go on a date with him or anyone else again, you won't like my response." Melissa stared at him, struggling to release her hands as he spoke.

-"You don't get to say stuff like that to me, Eric. You're the one that made it pretty clear that you weren't interested in me. So if I choose to date or screw any other male on this planet, that's my business, not yours. You had your chance."

Melissa's words dripped with venom and sexual frustration. Weeks before, Eric had dropped her off at home after one of her court meetings with Jake Mitchell. They had flirted and ended up making out on her porch. However, Eric had backed away, claiming he was not interested in getting involved with his friend's attorney.

Melissa had let him walk away, feeling rejected by his actions. She had then decided to start going out more to forget about her sexy neighbor. And leave it to Eric to find ways of always cock blocking her dates with phone calls or texts or unexpected visits. Tonight, however, he had crossed a line when he had kicked her date out.

Eric's eyes flashed after Melissa finished talking. His grip on her hands tightened while he used his other hand to keep her head in one place. He then proceeded to kiss her roughly. Melissa bit on his lip, making him release her head when he felt blood in his mouth. His hand lowered to her neck, feeling her breath catching in her throat while she stared at him, fire burning in her eyes.

Releasing her hands Eric put his hands on both sides of her head, blocking her escape. Melissa, however, bit her lip. She felt hot and bothered and excited by the idea of having made him jealous. Grabbing him by his neck she brought his head to hers once more, their lips hungrily looking for each other's.

Eric's hands sneaked under her dress, removing it. He stopped once he realized she wasn't wearing any type of underwear beneath it. His eyes once more flashed dangerously at the thought of her behaving like that for another man. He resumed kissing her, hoisting her legs around his waist while he pushed her harder against the wall.

Dropping his head to kiss her breast he sucked it, feeling her hands removehis belt. She then started working on his jeans button and zipper as well. Eric put her down only to remove his shirt and jeans, standing only in his briefs. He then took Melissa in his arms and carried her to his bedroom.

Hours later a panting Melissa settled her head on his chest, his hand entangled in her hair. She bit his nipple lightly before turning her face to study his. While a satisfied smirk was plastered on his face his eyes were still brewing a storm.

-"I wasn't planning on sleeping with him. Given the way you had basically ruined all my dates ever since we made out a few weeks ago I figured it would be only a matter of time before I managed to make you snap and take matters into your own hands."

-"You're lucky I didn't kill the guys you dated these past few weeks. Legs, don't ever try to pull a stunt like that again. I don't like having my woman dating around. And believe me the only reason why I tried to keep myself away was because you and I come from two very different worlds. I was trying to do the noble thing and keep myself away from you and I ultimately failed miserably to do so. But as long as we're doing this thing we're exclusive. No dating or sleeping around."

-"Possessive much?" Melissa raised her head and kissed him softly, feeling his cock hardening against her hip. She threw her leg around his waist, lowering herself on him and letting his hands travel over her body, grabbing her breasts and encircling her nipples. As they started to move together, Melissa brought her head to his and kissed him again…

Melissa sighed as she let herself fall on her pillows. That first night with Eric had been amazing. Even now, years later, she could still feel his touch and taste his kiss. Her memories of that first night with him were all she needed to bring herself over the edge whenever she felt it had been too long since she'd been with anyone.

Making her way down the stairs for a glass of water she noticed Eric had returned back home after what she assumed had been a long night of partying at the Phantoms clubhouse. Shaking her head she watched as Eric entered his house, her eyes locked on his ass while he moved. .

She was glad she hadn't bothered turning the light on inside her kitchen once she came downstairs because the look Eric threw to her house from his doorway made her feel as if he had sensed her watching him. Turning on her feet she made her way back inside her bedroom.

Once she sat down on her bed she noticed his bedroom light was on while he moved around it naked. Melissa grinned watching him, as she was now certain he had felt her presence earlier and was putting on a show for her.
