Jealousy

Those words still echoed in his mind. He didn't believe them, couldn't believe them. And yet he couldn't get those words out of his thoughts. Slamming the door before him open, Jadeite stormed into the library that he knew Reigan like to frequent. Judging be her jumping he knew that he had startled her with his abrupt entrance. However, before he even crossed the room, she had already collected herself and was gathering up the papers she had dropped.

"What is wrong with you?" she was not happy. That was alright, at the moment, he didn't care. Striding right up to her and grabbing her arm, he jerked her to him, not even noticing the papers falling again. She, of course, immediately tried to jerk away as her face darkened in anger. "Let me go!"

"No, not until you answer me." Jed could see the anger in her eyes mix with confusion. But before she could respond, he continued, "You're the only one I want, ever. I want you and I refuse to share you. You are mine. Do you understand?"

"I am yours only because I said so, I give myself to you, but if you think for one moment that is going to give you permission to treat me like this, you are sorely mistaken. And don't you dare to presume to tell me what to do!" The confusion was all gone now, and the pure anger was back, but he could also see her obvious love for him in her eyes. Releasing her arm, he noticed the clear handprint he had left and immediately felt guilty. But that was forgotten as she swept her arms around his neck and pulled him to a kiss. He knew she loved him, but still he couldn't get the words of that red-headed woman out of his head. Words about her loving another.
