Tension Rises : Jaylee's P.O.V.

Jaylee isn't looking forward to Supper tonight whatsoever, but mostly she isn't looking forward to seeing Jacob because she's still feeling the hurt from the way he treated her on the ride home from school today. Unfortunately she really has no choice and now she must resign herself to the inevitable.

Releasing a long sigh, she cracks open her bedroom door slowly then opens it a little wider to peek her head out, and she looks down each side of the hallway making sure it's clear and once she sees it is she leaves her room knowing she has to pass Jacob's on her way to the stairs.

She starts to tiptoe passed his closed door only to stop when she hears his deep voice, saying. 'Yeah, he told me I'm to get out tonight.'

Jaylee's brow furrows into a deep frown though she wonders who Jacob is talking to, and she glances around guiltily because she honestly shouldn't be eavesdropping, but her curiosity is piqued, and she hears him say. 'I should just walk, man, I mean it's not like it really matters anymore.'

(Jacob is telling someone that he's thinking about leaving? He's going to just up and abandon me too?) Jaylee thinks sadly to herself, and blinks to fight back the sudden tears she can feel building behind her eyes.

She knows she needs to start towards the stairs again but her feet won't cooperate as her mind screams at her to storm into his room, and confront him but the choice is taken from her as his door suddenly opens and she is caught eavesdropping on his conversation.

At first he looks angry that she has been listening then his expression changes as though he is torn, and she's not sure what is causing it, and she stammers. 'I-I didn't....i-it's not that I meant....I need to help Mom with Supper.'

Jaylee walks away quickly feeling Jacob's gaze boring into her until she disappears down the stairs. She makes her way towards the kitchen but stops to press herself back against a wall in the foyer, when she hears Walter saying to someone. 'I don't care what needs to be done he needs to be behind bars just like his pathetic Father.'

Jaylee covers her mouth with one hand and she thinks to herself; (Is he talking about Jacob? And, how does Walter even know who Jacob's Father is? Or, that whoever he is is in jail?)

'Jaylee, are you going to give me a hand tonight?' Karen asks as she comes around the corner.

Jaylee lowers her hand nodding quickly then forces a small smile then follows Karen into the kitchen. As Jaylee chops the tomatoes for the salad, she asks. 'Mom, how does Dad know who Jacob's real Father is?'

Karen halts in her stirring of the sauce and sends Jaylee a sideways glance, and Karen says quietly. 'He has friends in high places, sweetie, he can get information on just about anything and anyone.'

'So, he knows who my Parent's are too?' Jaylee asks keeping the hope from her voice.

Karen doesn't answer but the way her facial expression changes gives Jaylee the answer she wants, but she can't help wondering why Karen seems suddenly saddened over it.

Jaylee has just taken her usual seat at the Dining Room Table when Jacob comes in and yanks his chair out from under the table then plops himself down. Thankfully, Karen had been the one to go upstairs to let Jacob know that Supper is ready instead of Jaylee.

But, Jaylee did notice that it had been at least Twenty Minutes before Karen had come back downstairs which is strange in Jaylee's personal opinion. Her musings were soon put aside as Walter enters the Dining Room with Karen following behind.

Usually they begin a meal with prayer, but not today instead both Walter and Jacob just glare at each other while Karen puts the spaghetti on Walter's plate like some sort of slave along with two pieces of buttered bread then Karen hands it to Walter who doesn't even thank her. Jaylee barely refrains from just shaking her head at the sight, and as she reaches for Jacob's plate he grips her wrist, and says in a hard voice. 'I can do it myself.'

Jaylee's gaze snaps to Jacob's cold distant gaze and she yanks her wrist from his grip, and she says nastily. 'Well excuuuuse me.'

Jacob sighs heavily but Jaylee is now too angry to care how he feels as she wipes her wrist against the outside of the sweatpants she'd changed into to stop the strange tingling she feels just from him touching her. Jaylee can feel someone staring at her so she slowly lifts her gaze from her plate to see Karen giving her a soft Motherly look.

Jaylee has always loved Karen deeply as though the woman is really her Mother but as far as Walter....he just gives Jaylee the creeps. Jaylee returns a small smile at Karen then she just pushes her food around on her plate since the tightening in her stomach is making her lose her appetite. The meal is shrouded in complete silence and angry tension with the only sounds to hear is Walter chewing, Karen sighing, Jacob stabbing at his food and Jaylee's fork scraping against her plate.

After another moment Jacob slams his fork down making Jaylee sit up straight, and Walter snaps icily. 'Don't slam shit down in my house, you worthless bastard.'

'Walter, I don't think....' Karen starts to say, but Walter snaps at her. 'Shut up, I didn't ask your opinion.'

'Don't talk to her like that.' Jaylee glares defending Karen.

'Watch how you talk to me, Little Girl, or else....' Walter says warningly, and Jaylee asks venomously. 'You'll throw me out of here too? Is that what you're going to say?'

Jacob has been eerily silent during the exchange until Jaylee throws this up into Walter's face, and Jacob warns lowly. 'Jaylee, enough.'

Jaylee turns her anger onto Jacob then, and she seethes. 'I don't listen to you. I don't know who you seem to think you are to try telling me....' Her words are cut off with a yelp, as Jacob roars angrily. 'I said enough!'

Jaylee and Karen both stare with wide eyes as Jacob stands up shoving the chair to the floor then stomps away, and Walter mutters. 'Good riddance.'

Jaylee glares with absolute fury at Walter, and she snaps furiously. 'Are you happy now, you stupid asshole? God, I hate you!' She doesn't stay to see Walter's reaction or hear Karen begging her to calm down she just stomps from the room just as Jacob had done and she stomps up the stairs and down the hallway to her bedroom.

As soon as she enters her room she stands there gaping in shock at the sight of Jacob's long broad form looking a little too comfortable as he sits on her bed with his long legs stretched out in front of him, and his hands resting behind his head.

'What are you doing in my room?' She asks haughtily not even bothering to hide her displeasure over him taking it upon himself to invade her space.

Jacob gives a slight quirk of one brow at her tone as his gaze slides to the still open door, and he says. 'Close the door....we need to talk.'

Jaylee is highly tempted to defy him but the hardness in his eyes has her obeying, then she says. 'There, now say what you have to say then get out of my room.'

'Do you think acting like a spoiled little princess is cute, Jaylee? Because it's not.' He says dryly.

Jaylee stiffens with affront but refuses to take the bait and she plasters on a fake smile, and says in a sugar sweet voice while batting her eyelashes. 'Oh, I'm sorry, Jacob, I should probably be more careful from now on around you....' Then she drops the act, and says glaringly. 'Oh wait, you're abandoning me so it doesn't matter how I act.'

Jacob's gaze hardens to such a glacial level that it actually freezes her in place along with the blood in her veins. Before she can even form the apology he is standing towering over her trembling form, and she cries out as one of his hands grip tightly in her hair yanking her head back with such force she feels a kink in her neck, and as she opens her mouth to either ask why he's hurting her or to scream she didn't know but her chance disappears when his other hand grips her jaw in a crushingly bruising grip then slams her back against a wall, and he hisses. 'Don't keep testing me, Little Doe, I can't be held responsible for how I react each time you try it.'

Jaylee only looks up into his glacial eyes feeling tears of pain and fright building behind her eyes as a shudder of apprehension slides up her body making her shiver but she knows better than to stay quiet, so she whispers. 'I-I'm s-sorry.'

Then she starts to feel confusion as he gently and slowly glides his thumb along the right side of her jaw then along her bottom lip. Her breathing becomes quicker and her body feels suddenly less familiar to her as goosebumps along her heating tingling skin cause the hairs on her arms and nape to stand on end, her breasts feel sensitive and heave heavily, her nipples are pebbled and sensitive causing more shivers to run over her each time they brush against her t-shirt, and her panties were getting wetter with each pulsing quiver her womb and pussy make.

He doesn't do anything more than play with her bottom lip using the pad of his thumb to pull it open then let it go, and he looks really fascinated with doing this. Her breathing hitches as his face lowers to come closer to hers and just like earlier she uses the tip of her tongue to wet her dry lips nervously and he sucks in a sharp hiss through his teeth as her tongue touches the tip of his thumb.

She stares into his eyes as his gaze locks with hers and he brings his lips just a hairs breath width from hers and instead of kissing her as she thinks he's about to do, he says. 'Don't lock your bathroom door tonight.'

Then he releases her completely and turns away to go into his own bedroom through their shared bathroom leaving her to stand there trembling, and blinking in apprehension all due to the hot promising look in his eyes before he just left her in absolute bafflement.

Here is the Third Chapter to this Book and I have to ask if anyone else is getting hot or is it just me?

Why did Jacob tell Jaylee to leave her door unlocked? And will she do it?

Do you think Jacob will really leave as Walter demanded he does?
