I shouldn't be toying with Edward. It wasn't the right time. But when he came to me last night with a look of pure animal impulse in his eyes it made me want to do nothing but have him.

Instead of thinking of ways to make Edward scream for me, I should be thinking about Caius and what move he was going to make next and how to make myself more of a bait for him. I needed to take his focus off of Edward before he hurt him. Since I didn't have any concrete evidence he was Edward's stalker, I could only keep a close eye on him and wait for him to make another move or force him make a move on me.

Either way, I had to save Edward who was at the moment apologizing for falling asleep on me last night and begging me to let us to stay in his suite for the rest of the day and forget about the work he was here to do.

"Come on, Jasper," he said in a pleading voice. "Let's forget about work. Let's tell 'em I'm sick!"

It wasn't a bad idea. I could do that. It would irk Caius and probably make him think Edward was choosing me over his work. This could work out in my favor. But I didn't want Edward getting into trouble with his father just so he could spend time with me. And as much as I wanted him right now, things were too rocky with him and his dad to rock the boat anymore than it needed to be.

Mr. Cullen was watching Edward's actions on this job and any mess up he couldn't account for, such as it being a life or death situation, Mr. Cullen would have his son's head.

They were at odds and it wasn't the best time for them to be. Mr. Cullen didn't need to alienate his son right now because of his past behavior and Edward needed to stick close to his dad, because his distance from his family due to disagreements with his dad left him isolated and it was the last thing he needed at the moment.

Caius wanted Edward to solely depend on him. If Edward and Mr. Cullen kept at the malice game, they would be playing into the little bastard's hand.

But it makes me wonder. Why hadn't he tried anything before I came into Edward's life?

I didn't want to think about it. I was here now and I wasn't going to let him win. I was going to reveal him once I had enough evidence to show Edward and everyone that this guy was as sick as I was imagining. If I could, I was going to get him out of Edward's life and keep him away from him forever if I had to.

What kind of friend was Caius? How could you think of hurting the person you called a friend? Edward saw him as his best friend, but Caius wanted more and my problem was, for how long had he been thinking like this and planning whatever he had planned for Edward?

Just how fucked up was the guy?

"Jasper, are you listening to me?" Edward said, coming to stand behind me with his arms wrapped around my waist. I'll admit. It sent shivers down my spine in a very good way when he touched me.

"Yes," I said in a deep tone, trying to keep the tremor out of my voice because of his touch while he walked in sync with me as I moved around the room, getting my things like my phone and tablet.

He kissed my neck and kept his face there with the softness of his breath fanning my suddenly heated skin as he talked. "Come on, Jasper," he pleaded. "Let's just stay. I'll let you put it anywhere."

Shit! Fuck! Trying not to think about that possibility and attempting to keep focus on what's at stake.

But my other head was pleading with me to just say fuck it and give in to Edward.

I turned in his arms, pulling him into me when he was about to question me and fused my lips to his. He moaned into the kiss and it quickly got heated. Soon, our hands were everywhere but I had to stop this before things got out of hand and we'd really ended up staying here all day and night like Edward wanted.

I walked forward with Edward moaning against my mouth as I sucked and nipped at his lips before I backed him into the wall behind him, slamming his body into it. I pulled away to watch him. Both of us breathing heavily as we decided our next move. Edward glared into my eyes with his piercing eyes giving me the 'yes' I was searching for in them. I stepped close enough for him to grab me by the neck and crash his lips against mine. We moaned into the kiss while our hands found their way down each other's pants. "God…I want you." He moaned when I moved my lips to his neck, sucking the skin there a little before I reminded myself that he had a photo shoot in a few and we should be heading out the door, not getting ready to stay in.

He started to massage my cock, making me willing to let him but I had to stop him. "We can't."

His hand was still working and it felt too good to make him stop but we had to. So with a hard kiss on his lips, I pulled away. Edward looked dejected but quickly covered it. He leaned back against the wall, catching his breath.

"Fine," he said breathily. "We have to stop."

I fixed my pants while he adjusted his. "Yes, we have to."

He pushed himself off the wall and was about to walk away when I grabbed him, pulling him into a hard kiss. I pulled away and palmed his cheek. "Edward, I want you…more than anything," I said. "But I also want to do what's right by you."

"This is about work?" I didn't answer him. Just took him into my arms and held him. "This is about my dad?"

"I won't let things get messed up."

"I don't care!" He yelled, trying to pull away but I held him tight.

I gave him a small kiss. "I do. But not because we'll be at work, don't think for one second I'm forgetting about what you started." I grinded my body into his, making him moan. I wanted him to know how serious I was. "And I have every intention of getting a very fulfilling night from you, Mr. Cullen." With a peck of his lips, I moved away. "Now, let's get out of here. The faster we go, the faster you can get work over with and we can get back here."
