My Need - Eros POV

The second I walked into Amber's room my entire body tensed seeing Ella there. She looked mortified in her little light blue shirt with Care Bears on it. My first reaction was to call her out for dressing like a twelve year old, but my voice was suddenly gone. Besides, I've already admitted to myself I only did that to deflect how cute I actually thought she looked. I thought way too much about this girl lately.

Her eyes caught mine and she jumped up to look at my bruises. I don't know why I jumped back from her touch. I completely forgot how to act or how to be normal. Everything about her was pissing me off. I didn't like losing my mind just at the sight of her and I definitely didn't like this constant battle between my mind and body to touch her.

She told Amber about her father's earring and of course my fingers started twitching to hug her too. I wanted to pull her on my lap and brush the hair from her face behind her ear. This was getting ridiculous. I needed a reality check and quick. Apparently getting my face smashed in didn't knock any sense into my stupid body or over active dick that for some reason is getting hard.

I left and took out one of my newer bikes for a few hours. I still didn't find an old one to restore and honestly, I didn't care right now.

My father was on my ass to take on more of his company, Aaron looked at me like some piece of shit the other day, Ella wanted nothing to do with me, and I had no idea what I wanted in this life anymore.

The fight last night wasn't as exhilarating like all the times before. I stepped in the ring with a chip on my shoulder and my mind out in space. Every time the steroid freak guy punched my body it barely registered as pain. I took one hit after the other wanting to feel something, but I felt nothing. Just like now. I sped through the roads with the wind wiping pass my face just numb to the world.

I got back home only more pissed than before. I could hear my sisters getting ready upstairs and I didn't want to go anywhere near that. I was curious if Ella was here though. I internally punched myself and climbed the steps itching to see her again.

I opened the door to Lucy's room and there she was. Everyone was in their dresses doing their makeup except Ella. She still wore that stupid light blue shirt with a single braid in her long hair.

"A little tighter curl, Ella." Chrissy waved her hand over her head looking at her through the vanity she sat at. Of course Ella was doing her hair. She didn't like Chrissy, but would never say that outloud.

I could see the anger in Ella's face looking back to Chrissy. Why was she doing her hair if she didn't want to? Her eyes caught mine and I looked away quickly.

"I'm afraid to ask what is happening in here." I looked around at the mess of clothes, shoes, and makeup everywhere as five women dressed for the party.

"Eros! You can't see us yet!" Lucy shoved me out her door. I looked back getting one last glance of Ella.

"You're my sisters. Why can't I see you?"

"Not us so much. Your date though." Lucy had that match maker look and I shook my head at her.

"Don't Lucy." Is all I said and left to get dress myself.

She wanted me to marry Chrissy so they would be official sisters. I never had any intentions of marrying that girl though. That would be a lifetime of misery with her to come home to every night.

My father finally came home and surprise, he had a new woman on his arm. He introduced Maggie, his twenty eight year old assistant, to all of us. He never said what happened to his actual wife, but we knew this routine already. Divorce was in the works and Maggie was his side piece until it was final.

We all piled in the limo and Chrissy started working my father. She exaggerated her laughs at his little jokes, complimented him when he did nothing special, and she knew the business world. She worked at a company that partnered with his. My father ate up how sexy and smart she was, but it only irritated me. I didn't need his approval of who I dated. Honestly, I should run from any girlfriends he approved of consider his track record with his own women.

We arrived and I cracked my neck before getting out of the limo. I held my hand out guiding Chrissy out the door and she wrapped her arm right into mine. She knew exactly how to be the perfect woman and it made the other women around us jealous of her. Lucy was on my dad's one arm and Maggie on the other. Surprisingly, Amber came with us and walked in with Jackie on her arm. We looked like the perfect family with our father leading us all in behind him. It was all bullshit though. We were just as fucked as the next family.

We made our rounds for the hors d'oeuvre hour and of course Chrissy led most the conversation. That was one thing I loved about having her on my arm. She could handle all the business talk that bored the crap out of me. I engaged with everyone a little. They knew I'd rather be anywhere else but here talking about the next big shipment or up and coming contract.

I glanced behind me and a woman tripped over her own feet walking into the room. She quickly fixed herself before falling and I smiled wide at her. Ella looked amazing in a dark green dress tight on her curves with her hair in a fancy braid off the side of her head to hide the missing earring. She wasn't kidding when she said she would wear just one from now on.

Amber was by her side now chatting up a storm as they both watched everyone. Ella turned throwing her head back laughing and fuck that ass looked way too good to ignore. I only got to check it out in her leggings when she reached for something because usually she wore long sweaters that covered that plump, round....

"Eros!" Chrissy nudge me. I looked to the three guys we've been talking to the last ten minutes. Even if I wasn't distract by Ella's perfect ass I would had no idea what they were talking about.

"I'm going to grab a drink. Excuse me." I loosened my tie and unbuttoned the top button walking away. I hated how these strangled you all night. I didn't mind the suit, but I hated the fucking tie. There was one thing a tie was good for and I doubt I would be tying anyone up tonight. Chrissy popped in my head, thinking of the few times we got a little kinkier, than that turned quickly into Ella.

"Two mojitos." I ordered knowing this was a mistake, but I did it anyways and with a wide grin on my face.

I waited by the bar for Amber to scoot off leaving Ella all alone. I started to walk towards her, just to offer a friendly drink and clear the air. I had a thousand images in my head of what I wanted to really do to her, but I swear my intentions were good right now. Then Jack made it to Ella before I could. He handed her a pink drink making my good intentions turn very bad.

"There you are." Chrissy was at my side and Ella only ten feet away.

"Here I am. Drink?" I handed her the mojito.

"Thank you, babe." She kissed my cheek and my eyes went to Ella watching us. I smiled at her like a damn predator and she squinted her eyes at me.

"I see little Ella had some help dressing like an actual adult for tonight." I tip my glass to her and Chrissy turned to take her in.

"Ella? Wow! I like that dress."

"Better than the first one that caught my eye." Ella looked Chrissy up and down. There was some tension here and I was loving it. I shouldn't, but I did. Was my little Ella jealous?

"Hi Eros and..." Jack held out his hand to me.

"This is Chrissy." I put my hands in my pocket and nodded to Chrissy. She scuffed at me for ignoring his hand and quickly reached over to shake his trying to hide my disrespect. I didn't like Jack though.

"Nice to meet you, Jack. Friends of Ella?" She asked leaning to my side.

This damn woman was constantly rubbing against me. The way Ella looked like she was about to slap her only made me want Chrissy to rub against me some more though.

"Yeah, friends, right?" He looked at Ella and she turned to look at him with her innocent little face with big hazel eyes. I remember those eyes looking up to me while my dick fucked that little face. That thought had me smiling.

"Yeah, I like that." She said moving her hand to his bicep. That I didn't like.

"I think it's time to eat. Ella a word!" I pulled her arm and dragged her away from him.

"What is wrong with you?" She held out her hand as the glass spilled some pink bullshit on the floor.

"We never talked about the other night." I didn't know what to say and my tone was murderous.

"So you drag me in the middle of the room to talk about it now?" She was looking at me like I was unbelievable. Trust me, I was on board with that thought. I didn't believe I was acting like this either.

"I don't... come on." I had nothing reasonable to say so I grabbed her drink placing it on a table then took her hand leading us to the dance floor.

"Eros, what are you doing?" She quicken her steps to keep up.

"Dancing." I pulled her in my arms and she grabbed my shoulders to steady herself.

"I don't wear heels often so please stop dragging me around. I'm going to twist my ankle."

I looked down to her feet and wanted to take those shoes off to rub her sore feet. God, what is wrong with me? She isn't mine to take care of!

"You look good in heels. You should wear them more often." My tone softened to her and she looked at me confused.

"Thanks. Your face doesn't look so gross anymore. You definitely shouldn't get it bashed in more often though."

I smiled a little to her. "Worried about me?"

"No, of course not."

I chuckled. "You have a tell, little Ella."

"Shut up, Eros." She huffed relaxing into my arms and let me lead her.

We were silent a few moments and my body was heating up with the sexual tension between us. Her body felt perfect in my arms. I don't understand why I have to feel this way about her.

"I want you, little Ella, so many ways I want you screaming my name." I whispered in her ear then moved my lips just above her neck. Little goosebumps coated her skin making my smile even wider.

"Eros, don't." Her body tensed and she took a sharp breath.

"I can't help it. You turn me on so fucking hard and I can't stop thinking about this body." I pulled back looking her in the eyes. She bit her lip looking back at me. God, I could see her eyes pleading with herself to just say yes. She bit that lip harder drawing all my attention there.

"Say it, baby girl." I whispered.

She shook her head no. I smiled wider at her. She will break for me.

"I'm sorry I didn't check on you first when we fell. I wasn't not thinking of you. I was pissed someone hurt you and if I saw the pain in your eyes I might of actually hit that stupid girl."

She looked at me taking in everything I said as tears glistened her eyes. Those bright hazel eyes with black liner and thick mascara making them look even bigger. She was so damn sensitive and it drove my body insane.

"Tell me something, Eros?"

"Anything, doll." I brushed the few strands of hair that escape her braid behind her ear. My head titled watching every feature of her soft face.

"Were you going to kiss me before Stacy knocked me over?"

I straightened my head clenching my jaw. I looked around feeling embarrassed. I just told her I wanted to fuck her, but admitting I was going to kiss her has me speechless. This shit made no sense.

I grinned meeting her eyes. "Maybe, I know how good these lips feel." My thumb brushed over her mouth.

She looked down moving her head from my hand. "Eros, we don't make sense."

"I think that makes it even more sexy, Ella." I said playfully, but she didn't smile. I leaned closer to her lips wanting them right now. "I still want you. Tell me, baby girl. Do you want me to take this body as mine?"

"No." She said confidently pulling out of my arms. She turned back with a smile. "Of course not." Then she winked and left.

What the fuck? Wait! Her tell. I bit my lip watching that ass. I'm taking that body and I'm doing it while she is bent over.

Calm down! I scolded my dick. We were at a dinner party. I can't do that now. Shit! Amber was here and will probably sleep over her house the next couple of nights. I needed her!
