Chapter 54 - 53

"Will," he whispered and my knees tried to give out as his pheromones exploded. I fought mine back as they wanted to reciprocate and entice him over to me quicker.

"Stay back!" I hissed as he got up and started walking towards me.

"No," he said sternly as he seemed to move faster towards me.

I felt my body yearn for him but quickly thought of the child I was carrying and of Ashley and Archer. It was enough to let my mind refocus as he got within a foot of me.

"I want to make a deal," I demanded but he seemed to not hear me. His body had taken over his brain as all he could likely think about was pinning me against the door. I finally pulled the syringe out of my pocket and showed it to him as he froze. I did my best to intensify my gaze and to show how serious I was. "There is enough anti-pheromone in the syringe to make you pass out," I informed him as I fought my voice not to shake. "Either you listen to what I have to say or I use it," I insisted.

He put his hands on either side of me on the door while he fought his body not to move any closer. He was flushed and breathing hard as I could tell that he was sweating. "What deal?" He insisted as he looked me up and down as though he was going to eat me alive.

"I need you to save my friend."

He paused as he seemed to gain some of his senses back. "What are you talking about?" He tried to lean in towards me and I held the syringe closer to him, so he stopped.

"My best friend needs a bone marrow transplant and you are a perfect match. I need you to save him. He doesn't have much time left." I took a deep breath as I could not look away from his eyes, "I will give you something in return."

His hand came off the door and his fingers traced my collar bone that was visible

above my shirt collar. He licked his lips but I quickly shoved him away.

"You know what I want."

I stared him down, "you will want this more." He looked to me with annoyance. "I will let you meet your kids."

His body stiffened as his pheromones stopped. I dropped to the ground as my legs gave out. My body trembled as I focused on his face of shock. "We have a kid?"

"Kids," I emphasized and he put his hand to his head as though it would stop him from falling over. "Two of them and one more in a few months."

His eyes darted to mine with amazement, "you're pregnant?"

I looked to my stomach, "it's a girl." He suddenly rushed over and kneeled in front of me. I quickly put the syringe in between us and he smacked it out of my hands. His hands went straight to my stomach and my body froze.

"A girl," he whispered before looking to me. I was confused by the tears in his eyes and joy on his face, "I'm a dad?"

I felt my heart ache for him. I don't know why, but it did. Without thinking, I pulled out my phone and showed him the main screen picture of Archer, Ashley, and Chase.

Jayden's hands shook as he took my phone from me. He took it and began crying. I watched him and my mind raced. This was the first time I had seen him act human.

"They're twins," I whispered and his eyes shot to me before he went back to the phone. "Their names are Ashley and Archer. They're five."

"Five?!" He gasped.

I gave him a look of displeasure, "they were conceived on set." He looked to me in an almost regretful way. What the hell is going on?

"And who is the teenager?"

"An Omega that lives with us and helps with the twins. He was abandoned by his family so I took him in."

As he looked up, I saw pain and my heart ached again. "Just like you..."

"How do you know that?"

One hand let go of the phone and ċȧrėssed my cheek, causing my face to heat up. "I know everything there is to know about you. I was serious about finding you."

I focused my brain again, "I will let you meet your kids every week if you will save my friend."

He looked to me seriously, "that's not enough. It's not a fair deal on my side. I'm saving a person's life. Meeting my kids every week is a start but it's not enough."

I tried to stand but stopped when he suddenly released his pheromones again, "it's more than fair!"

He gave me a smirk, "I can take you to court for the kids."

I snatched my phone from him, "I have raised them solely for over five years. As their Momma," I hissed and his eyebrow raised at the word, "they will not want to be with a stranger. I AM their family, not you!"

He sighed, " then you will all live with me."

I shuddered at the thought, "I am not with you, Jayden. I am serious about Elijah."

"You can lie to my family, but I know you aren't married."

"That doesn't make us less serious. We live together. My kids trust him."

"Then marry me."

I laughed and he scowled, "I'm sorry but that's out of the question."

"At least fulfill my needs," he grumbled. "I know this hurts you as much as it hurts me."

I thought about my options and finally decided, "how often?"

He smirked, "three times a week. Leave your Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights to me. I will meet with the kids on Sundays."

"Then you have to save my friend as soon as possible. If I lose him," I paused so that I would not cry at the thought, "if I lose him, you will lose everything."

His face soured as I said it, but he nodded. "Set up a meeting with the doctor tomorrow. Also, call Elijah and tell him you won't be coming home tonight."

I fought myself to my feet, "I can't just suddenly change things! My kids expect me to meet them at home soon. We will have to start next week."

He frowned as he stood close to me, "you want to postpone your friend's recovery by a week?"

My eyes widened as I realized he had full control here. "Fine but you can't just suddenly leave work. We can meet later."

He grabbed my arm and I shivered with excitement. His face twisted to a smile, "as if I am letting you get away." He leaned into me so that our faces were nearly touching, "its taking everything I have not to tie you up and lock you away where no one can ever touch you again. You are coming with me right now." He yanked me out of the room and to the desk of his male secretary, "cancel everything for this afternoon. I am leaving for the day for a family emergency."

He pulled me along into the elevator before hitting a buŧŧon. He suddenly shoved me against the wall and began groping me as he voraciously began kissing me. My body overtook my mind as I leaned into his movements and kisses.

He let out a small groan of anger as the elevator dinged. He got off me and took my hand in his, intertwining our fingers.

Jayden led me outside to a beautiful sports car and placed me into the front seat. He then rushed to his side of the car and started it. He began driving and I could see his leg bouncing.. His eyes kept sneaking over to look at me hungrily before going back to the road.
