Roman spoke softly as he caressed her cheek softly. "I definitely agree with you on her being a gorgeous woman. She is very beautiful, isn't she? Now then, I'm assuming you all have made your introductions to one another?"

Jack takes her hand kissing it, "I'm Jack my dear." 

Megan smiles amused, "I'm Megan Johnson."

Roman's eyes widen ever so slightly as he notices Jack kissed her hand. This wasn't the first time he saw people interested in her. Although, he didn't expect Jack to already do this.

He chuckles softly as he hears her introduction and he speaks gently as he still keeps her hand close to him. "You are certainly a catch, my dear. I can definitely understand why many men would be interested in you. You are definitely a beautiful woman."

Megan smiles turning to see Roman's reaction to this.

Roman raises an eyebrow and he looks at Jack with a stern and cold expression. "Jack....don't even think of trying to steal my girl. I'm not afraid to rip your head off your shoulders if you try something with her."

She looks at Roman stunned wondering if he was joking or not.

"You should go attend to your guests Roman. I'll keep her company." Jack said with a chuckle as he gestures to guests waiting to talk to him.

Roman shakes his head to indicate that he wasn't joking. He still had a cold and intimidating expression on his face as he looks back at Jack. He really didn't like the look on his face. The joke wasn't exactly funny to him. Roman then sighs and he speaks very softly. "Very well. I will be back soon but, anything happens, You're dead...okay?"

"Don't worry." Jack smiles turning back to her. Megan looks at Roman knowing this would not end well.

Roman still looked fairly annoyed at Jack but he couldn't do much without causing a scene in the middle of the gala. Reluctantly he turns his attention to the guests that would like to speak with him, leaving Megan alone with Jack for a little while.

Roman couldn't help but watch their interaction from a distance. She seems comfortable with Jack even though she has met him for the second time here tonight. He watched as he leaned close to her and spoke to her so softly. He saw her hitting him playfully and they were both laughing.

That scene alone would have made any man jealous of the situation. Jack was trying his best to flirt with her and he seemed to be succeeding by quite a large margin.

"Your girl and Jack seem to be hitting it off." Apollo said walking up to him with two girls with him.

Roman looks to Apollo with a rather irritated expression. he was right. Jack was indeed hitting it off with his love for the night. Roman was annoyed at the fact that he was even able to make her laugh and even had the audacity to flirt with her so early. He couldn't do anything about it without causing a scene though. "I know...I can see that."

Apollo laughs, "Don't tell me you're feeling jealous brother."

Roman glares at Apollo for even saying such an outrageous statement to him. Roman was not the type of person to ever be jealous or even to have any hint of jealousy in him. He would never be jealous...ever "Jealous? Me? Don't make me laugh, brother. I have absolutely no reason to be jealous of another man."

Apollo let's out a louder chuckle, "Brother...you haven't taken your eyes off them and you're about to break that poor glass you're squeezing."

Roman grits his teeth and his eyes narrow even more in an attempt to try and hide his jealousy from his brother. His brother sure as hell wasn't making it easy for him though. He was practically laughing at him right in front of his face and the other women were also starting to look at him in curiosity about how he'd react. "I am not being jealous at all."

"Look, He's taking her to the dance floor." Apollo said as Jack lead Megan to the dance floor where people were slow dancing.

Roman glares at Apollo with an even more irritating attitude as soon as he says that. The fact that he's taking her to the dance floor made his blood boil even more. He was really pushing his limits right now.

He looks over at the dance floor and he sees them getting ready to slow dance. This was seriously irritating him. He couldn't let this happen in front of him like this. His emotions were getting the best of him.

Roman watches as she laughs happily as she dances with Jack. he sees Jack whispering in her ear and she seems to be listening to everything he is saying. This was certainly not something he liked seeing at all. The two looked almost perfect together as they danced. He couldn't help but become even more agitated by the second.

Roman sees her laughing along with Jack who seems to be speaking to her quite a lot. This was not how the night was supposed to go at all. He was supposed to win her over for the entire night, not let someone else entertain her. This was his date, not Jack's. He was really starting to piss him off as he watched both of them dancing and him speaking to her. He wasn't going to tolerate this for long.

"Wow you're really holding out longer than I expected...at least Megan is having fun with Jack."

Roman chuckles, although it was a harsh sounding one. What did Apollo mean by that? Was he intentionally trying to piss him off? He certainly succeeded in this aspect and it was really irritating him. He couldn't help but growl slightly as he spoke.

"I'm just trying to keep my cool for the sake of the party. I was hoping I wouldn't have to interrupt the party but I guess I'm going to have to because this situation is just not acceptable."

Roman quickly approaches the two of them. He is not happy with this at all and he's definitely not pleased with the fact that Jack is entertaining her. He stops right in front of them both and he clears his throat loudly to get Jack's attention. He stares at the both of them and he keeps a very stern look on his face as a clear warning is given with just a look.

"What's wrong my love?" Megan sees him and moves away from Jack who had a smirk on his face.

Roman doesn't take his eyes off of Jack as he stares him down in an intimidating manner. He spoke softly as he kept a hold of his anger just by the bare minimum because he wasn't going to allow himself to lose his cool in front of such a big crowd and all the people that are present. He was not pleased with Jack's actions. "You're a very brave man for flirting with my date and entertaining her."

"Roman. He wasn't flirting. We were just talking." Megan said.

"Roman. He wasn't flirting. We were just talking." Megan said.

Roman still keeps his eyes firmly on Jack and he raises an eyebrow as he hears Megan try and explain the situation. He couldn't help but notice Jack's smirk as she defends him. Roman isn't that easy to fool though and he knows exactly what Jack was trying to pull off here. He turns his attention back to Megan and he speaks softly. "Is that so? I'm pretty sure he's trying to make a move on you right now."

"Oh my goodness Roman. This is not what you think." 

Her words cause him to get more angry. He grabs her arm and drags her out of the gala as people stare at them.
