Chapter 4

Ej tried to spend the rest of that day not thinking about her, but that was impossible when she showed up on his doorstep at midnight. Dripping wet from the rain and tears streaming down her face. He ushered her in and could see the pain that welled up in her eyes.

"Samantha what's wrong?"

"I…I…" She started to stammer out, but she couldn't get past the tears.

"It's ok, come in here and dry off. What are you doing out at this time of night?"

"I needed to see you." She said and looked up at him and seen the concern in his eyes. He reveled in the fact that she said those words to him. She needed him, and she wanted him. He could see that same look in her eyes she had the night they made love. The look of desire and lust that he couple always see.

"Why Samantha? You made it very clear earlier that you didn't want to see me."

"I don't know. I just felt uneasy and found myself in front of the mansion. I don't know why." She cried as he cradled her in his arms, she could feel his heart start to race as he put his arms around her.

"Its ok Samantha, calm down. It's gonna be ok." He said, he voice soothing and calm. He sat there for almost an hour, just calming her by talking softly and stroking her hair. Once again the two got caught up in the moment and ended up in his bedroom.

This time it was more seductive then anything else, he slowly peeled her clothes off instead of the quick removal of the other night. It was slow and calm and with more passion then the first time, neither thought it could be better but it was. There was no doubt that they were connected. Even without uttering a single word, they knew what the other wanted, you would have thought they could read minds with the way they explored each others bodies and pleased one another with ease.

Ej didn't go to hold Samantha this time, instead he just laid on his back staring at the ceiling, he knew that she would regret it and quickly rush out of the room and he didn't want to get hit in the process. However, Samantha had fallen asleep, she calmed and was asleep next to him. He rolled on his side and stared at her, her hair sprawled out across the pillow and hands wrapped in the sheet.

He stared at her for nearly an hour before she even begun to stir and just like he predicted she jumped up and ran from his room before he could stop her. He ran after her, but she just took off and Tony came out of the study to see Ej once again like a lost puppy sitting on the stairs starring at the door.

"When are you gonna learn? She doesn't love you Elvis, she's just using you."

"She loves me, I know she does." He said and headed to the bar instead of pouring a glass, he grabbed the entire bottle and headed to his room.

"He just wont learn." Tony said and returned to the study. Ej just around at his room, sheet thrown laid on his bed, looking in the corner and one of her earrings laying on the pillow, it must have fell off when she jumped up. He grabbed it and placed in on the nightstand, knowing that he would have to return it and this time he would not settle for being thrown out. They needed to talk, he needed to know where he stood.

Tony was right, he couldn't just keep going on with this charade of her coming to him in the middle of the night. As much as he loved her, as much as he loved making love to her, it was killing him to watch her run off to her perfect family when he was here getting drunk just to stand himself. He needed to know!
