His face remained in its usual emotionless state but he couldn’t help but feel giddy at her glaring at him. “Well, wrap it up,” he stated as he finished off his glass with ease. He sighed when she refused to cover up and just stared her down in slight annoyance. His blue eyes strained on her as she continually took steps toward him but he never moved an inch. In fact, when she finally stepped near his desk and grabbed his glass full of scotch he did flinch but instead stood, allowing himself to tower of her petite frame. “Nothing.” Jackson had already completed his work for tonight and he was attempting to figure out her plan. His arms folded over his chest and he eyed her suspiciously before she spoke again. His little one was being mouther than usual and he found it oddly enjoyable to watch her all riled up on his accord. The older male didn’t reject her touching but he was about to verbally do so when she spoke of another man. He gave her a blank stare and refused to react the way she wanted. “Touch another man and I’ll terminate this agreement,” he spoke through clenched teeth. “I was planning on releasing you from punishment but you touch another man or even bring one up and your punishment will be extended.” His large hand came up and grabbed her chin to make her look at him. “Understood?”

Bryan continued to grin at James before attempting to get out of the basket. Bianca immediately stopped him and picked him up instead. A smirk appeared on his words and behavior. She hadn’t dated much but back in the day she had tons of male friends and this was where the knowledge kicked in; he was attempting to make her believe he didn't feel anything. “Are you done with the lies,” she smirked. “I may not have had too much sexual activity but I know when men are lying to me and mister, are doing just that.” Her eyes rolled and she gently covered Bryan’s ears. “It’s not over...I said we could do it again before I left,” she mumbled. Her cheeks began turning pink a moment later; this wasn’t like Bianca to offer herself up like this but she just wanted to try one more time before completely ignoring James.

He came home a few minutes later than usual and carried the few items in as he searched for his live-in nanny. He was setting his keys in the bowl on the island with her gift bag in hand when he heard a familiar female voice behind him. He sighed heavily at her behavior and for a second his stubbornness kicked in and he continued to be silent. Kash mentally fought himself before following her to her room. “Thank you for letting me know everything...I uh, wanted to apologize for earlier,” he spoke softly. His long muscled arm extended the bag out to her carefully while he attempted not to allow his gaze to linger too long. “I’m not trying to buy you or anything I just felt like shit about how I treated you earlier. I’m so sorry Pandora.” After she took the bag he disappeared off to check on his son before going to find something to eat. The older male knew what women liked thanks to his ex and he had picked out a set of fragrances for her along with some relaxation and pampering items.

Jamal was dressed in something less flashy than usual per Talia’s request and it felt strange. He couldn’t put his finger on it but the whole action felt odd and slowly but surely he was coming to the conclusion that maybe the pair weren’t meant for one another. “Thank you, Teagan.” He glanced down at his simple slacks, crisp white shirt, and jacket. “Talia didn’t want me to wear anything too flashy and it has me a bit self-conscious,” he chuckled. His fashion sense wasn’t too out there but the suit jacket that he had in mind was an amazing print. Jamal’s head nodded as he chuckled, “Yeah, I noticed that by your dad giving me the double take earlier.” He didn’t think he looked strange but most men didn’t dress as he did; the fact that he had more than a decent amount of money helped as well. Jamal wasn’t sure how he was going to break things off with Talia or if he would just prolong their engagement; either way, they wouldn’t actually make it down the aisle. He couldn’t help but laugh at her words and shake his head. “It’s alright. It’s nice since my family is always in my face when I go over or they barge into my apartment,” he shrugged. His brow shot up at her reply and he just stared at her for a moment; why was she lying to him. “Oh, okay,” he fell silent a moment later. 

She smiled slightly at his agreement. She was attempting to make the best of the situation and so far there wasn’t much to worry about. Bryson was ensuring all of her items were out of his way when he spoke again. A laugh escaped her full lips as she turned around to face him. “Really? I don’t have much to lose really. I’m home-” She caught herself before spilling her little secret. She was homeless but she didn’t need him looking at her in pity or rejecting their agreement now. “Well, thanks,” she returned his smile with one of her own. “Are you usually this...way?” She couldn’t find a polite way to ask if he was always this serious. “Sure, I’m not picky so just surprise me.” In reality, she couldn’t afford to be picky; meals were scarce before the check and she would be cutting corners everywhere to maintain the large amount of money.

To jackson it was solely about their arrangement but if Courtney was going to push his buttons privately and it led to the kind of sex they had previously had he would take what he could get. After all, his pickings were slim when he was on his search before; not many young ladies were willing to withstand his behavior. He stood, straightening himself up and putting everything work related away. The older male forced himself to sit as the sound of heels against his newly installed wood floors filled his ears and another pair of steps scrabbled behind. Once she finally entered and the door shut behind her he couldn't help the smirk that appeared for a few seconds; Jackson knew what this was, she had on something skimpy. "Indeed it was. I think you forgot whose in charge here." He reclined in his seat a moment later, a glass of dark brown liquid in hand. His blue eyes averted from her as she began fumbling with the buttons and attempted to rile him up. As she spoke he tuned her out, downing the half full glass before pouring himself another. His attention was drawn back to Courtney when the sound of something hitting the floor could be heard. His reaction was undetectable as he gave her a once over and heard her words. "Are you finished Courtney?" His brows shot up briefly before he stood, tossing the blanket at the back of his chair at her to cover up. "I'm still not touching you." He took a long gulp from his glass to prevent himself from taking her right there on his desk. Jackson knew her last comment was true but he wouldn't give her the satisfaction of knowing it was just that.

Her brows furrowed for a moment as she swore the voice sounded familiar. Her attention quickly went to Brian when he snatched the container out of her hand. He was shaking them and babbling on about something before catching sight of James. He gave him a mostly toothless grin before continuing to shake the Raspberries around. Bianca's head snapped up at the mention of motherhood and her face immediately began reddening. All that came to mind was that night and the fact that he knew what she looked like naked and what she sounded like when pleasured. It took her a second but she did reply. "He didn't come out of my vagina," she smirked. She placed the child back in the cart before looking at James. "I get it, you're pissed at me but in my defense I couldn't walk for the last week and a half. And when I was able to function I didn't think you would remember me or even care," she shrugged. Clearly he did and she kind of felt like an ass. Her attention was back on Brian as he flung one of the bananas out of the cart. "Really?" Her damp curls bounced as she went to grab the fruit. Even now she looked younger with no make up and her hair in it's natural state.

"Just save it," he mumbled. His blue eyes swiftly ran over her hair and shirt and he was assuming the worst; she slept with her date. He kissed his son's head once again before heading for the door. Kash was livid but he refused to argue in the presence of his son, even if he was sleeping. "We will talk about this late and stop shouting when my son is sleeping." His voice was leveled and calm but he was raging on the inside. He didn't have time to stand here and argue but they would hash this out after work. Before he could think over his words he snapped at her. "It wasn't like you absolutely needed that date." Without another word he left.

After studying her he knew either the engagement would be long so he could work on his fiance's ways or he was going to leave her all together. He was typing away on his phone, texting his mother when a pair of heels against the floor caught his attention. His eyes snapped up just in time to see Teagan. "Hey, you look beautiful," he smiled. Jamal was thrilled to see that she was one of the first to join him at the dinner table. "I've never known a family to take this long getting dressed just for dinner," he laughed. He knew looks were important to them but damn, food may end up on their clothes anyway. "Anyway, it's nice to relax with a familiar face." He continued to type for a moment in silence before placing his phone back into his pocket. "Oh, I forgot to ask you if your sister cornered you yet?" Really he wanted to know if she was rude to Teagan in anyway so he could put her in her place.

When he still didn't say much she sighed softly and took a seat. "I hope you didn't assume I took the money and ran," she laughed. He knew her name, first and last, and if he really wanted to he could have reported that she 'broke into' his hotel room. Why would she run?

He opened the door to check if she might have parked and there she was, heading for the door. His expression was unreadable but his eyes were a dead give away that he was pissed. "We will talk about this when I get back from work. Put Kayden to bed," he snarled. Kash turned back inside, swiftly grabbing his jacket and bag.

He clumsily stumbled over in the cart, spitting out his pacifier that was clipped to him. "Rap," he pronounced before reaching for her to pick him up.

She smiled before scooping him up. Bianca then went to reach for the fruit but sadly couldn't reach the fresh ones. "Uh oh, we might have to just get Blueberries bud." She continued to reach until a mystery hand grabbed a container full for her. "Thanks.." The brunette was too busy checking them over to really notice the other.

The CEO hadn't sent for his baby girl in the last four days thanks to her behavior but he was testing her. He wanted to see if she would demand his attention and just show up, pull incident like the one at the gala, or silently take her punishment. That was right, after evaluating the Gala situation he knew for a fact she had done it because he was lacking something she needed. He couldn't determine what that something was but he was prepared to find out. He knew for a fact Courtney wasn't going to take her punishment in silence so Jackson was already prepared; his house staff had already been notified to allow her in but he was to be notified ASAP. The older man was almost done reviewing the last new contract when his cell went off. Rather than answering it just yet he simply silenced the device and continued reading, highlighting as he went along. Little did he know that may have been the call he was awaiting.
