The Master Programmer-Chapter 148: Jason in Trouble 2

When it was over, Samantha found herself in Jason’s arms, her carefully constructed exterior cracked but not entirely broken. She lay against his chest, her breathing uneven.

"That was..." she began, her voice trailing off.

"The best you’ve ever had," Jason finished for her, his tone teasing but self-assured. His fingers brushed a stray strand of hair from her face, and she turned to glare at him, though the fire in her gaze was softer now. Jason chuckled when he saw that, and that seemed to make her glare even stronger. After all, she was not one to be made fun of, in mind or public.

"How do you have so much energy?" she asked, genuinely curious. Jason seemed to have this ability to go on and on and on. She could destroy a man with her feet if she wanted to, but with Jason, she was not sure she could do anything against him.

Jason shrugged nonchalantly. "The perks of being young and handsome," he said, his tone light. It wasn’t entirely a lie, his system did enhance him, but Samantha didn’t need to know that. At least not yet. Possibly not ever if Jason could have it his way.

The idea was to stand out just enough to be impressive but to be as normal as possible so that people would not reject him. He was after that kind of dynamic with her too. If he stood out too much, she might not see a future with him. It was better to be relatable and that way he might seem more human in her eyes, making him the perfect person.

She shook her head, muttering something under her breath about his arrogance. But as she leaned against his chest, feeling his heartbeat next to her, her thoughts grew darker.

Jason… was impressive.

Probably the most impressive man she had ever met.

His youth was a good thing too. She was a woman in her early thirties, and the age gap between them was not too much. Not that it mattered anyway. She just... Strategically too, he was not bad considering his surname, and the money he probably had stashed away. And the fact that he had her company on lock.

But beyond that, there was their physical compatibility that honestly was the greatest thing ever... All of it combined made her... greedy.

She just wanted Jason all to herself. To be hers and hers and nobody else’s.

Samantha sighed, pinching him and making him groan in pain. What an evil man. No wonder Veronica was so willing to share him just to stay in his life… He was way too dangerous. And Veronica was clearly way too soft. When it came to this kind of man, you had to keep him well-sexed, and as for the other women in his life. You had to make them stay the fuck away.

She, Samantha, was different from that soft Veronica. She did not like sharing. The more time she spent with Jason, the more she wanted him to herself even if she wasn’t going to be anything serious, but even just having him as a prized possession was fine too.

The idea was irrational, dangerous even, but it burned in her chest all the same. She wanted him to be hers, and only hers. And to do that, she had to rein him in and get rid of all the flies buzzing around him. Grabbing his face with both hands, she stared into his eyes.

"Jason," she said firmly. "You said before that you own the women in your life—body and soul. Well, that’s going to change with me. I own you now. Especially after what you did to me."

Jason’s laugh was rich and genuine as he unwaveringly stared back into Samantha’s eyes. "You’re serious? So cute," he said, cupping her cheeks and shaking her face playfully.

Samantha groaned in frustration, but she didn’t pull away. Her lips twitched, threatening a smile she refused to show. Jason saw it though. She was so adorable. Whether she meant those words or not was not important, what was important to Jason was the fact that she was already showing signs of obsession and devotion. And that was a good thing for him.

Jason had figured her out. She was a simple woman who was mostly just soft but forced to take on a hard cold exterior as a protective mechanism. She was beginning to open up to Jason now that she saw he was not a threat to her.

He was her saviour, not her competition.

"Jason Cross," she said, her tone sharp as she pulled herself away from his body and began to gather her clothes. Jason watched her as she bent over in front of him. Damn, he loved this view.

"I meant what I said. You will be mine, if not today, then one day. I’ll own you and everything you have. Everything you will ever have in your life will be mine. All of it."

Jason watched her putting on her blouse and leaned back, his smirk widening. Maybe it was time to tease this woman.

"What makes you think you don’t own me already?"

Samantha’s hand faltered as she slipped her jacket on. His words stirred something in her, and she hated the way her heart and body responded.

Jason got off the couch, making his way over slowly like a leopard stalking a gazelle. "Think about it, Samantha, I gave you millions of my money to save your company. I give you my everything whenever you want it. What makes you think you don’t already have me? All of me?"

Samantha felt another pang in her chest, and before she could overthink it, Jason was suddenly in front of her, his lips capturing hers in a searing kiss. She melted against him despite herself, her hands clutching his body.

When he finally pulled away, his voice was soft but firm. "Samantha, I appreciate you more than you can ever know or understand. You might seem cold to everyone else, but I see the warmth in you. I hope you’ll show me more of that warmth going forward. No… I know you’ll show it to me."

His words were disarming, and for a moment, Samantha couldn’t respond. Jason, ever the opportunist, pinched her cheeks lightly. "You’re so adorable. Are you blushing?"

Her face turned crimson, and she glared at him, but the anger lacked its usual bite because of the lack of the cold exterior. That paired with her short stature made her look way too cute at that moment, and Jason couldn’t help but chuckle.

Seeing that she could not defeat Jason, she turned away from him, finished dressing and left without another word, her mind a chaotic swirl of emotions. Jason chuckled, watching her leave. She had a special walk when she left, it showed just what kind of state her body was in.

He had worked his ass off in this lunch break. Just as he said he would. See, Sam, I’m doing good work in this company. Shaking his head, he figured it was time to continue. Any normal person would have been out of energy after taking on two women one after another, but Jason seemed to be special in this right. He was not any man.

His smirk faded as his mind shifted gears.

He had other matters to attend to Tonight. Troy needed to be dealt with, and Jason wasn’t in the mood for games. If Troy tried to cross him, Jason wouldn’t hesitate to replace him. To get ready for that… Jason checked out his System page and when he did he saw what he had been expecting.

Well, he had made some progress. What he loved most was the MC he had. It was a lot. He had already purchased the goods from the Store. Actually, at that moment, he had way more than necessary. But that was the thing. There was nothing bad with having Health and Energy potions stored up. He might need them in the future. Jason quickly bought everything he needed. And a bit more

Damn. He was broke now... Well, whatever. This was just the price of doing business. Anything he bought was to invest.

His Aura was also growing in line with the devotion he was getting from his women. Jason was making steady progress and he was loving every single moment of it. The weight of his ambitions settled comfortably on his shoulders, fueling his resolve. Okay, Troy. Let’s see what you have in store for me.

By the time he arrived at Troy’s penthouse after work, Jason was a picture of composure. Draco, Troy’s bodyguard, led him through a service elevator to avoid prying eyes. And Jason had already seen them. There were a lot of prying eyes in the lobby and outside the building, all looking at the people entering and going in and out.

Even Jason had to do things carefully going into the service elevator, just to get away from the eyes of others. And all of them were looking to see something. Luckily, Draco was very easy to work with. Maybe it was because Troy had expressly told him not to be a nuisance. Or maybe it was because of the ass-whooping Jason had given his men back then.

"You know those pills are causing quite a stir in the underground," Draco said casually as they stood in the service elevator that was taking them up to the higher floors. "Everyone wants a taste. What are they made of? Do you have a supplier?"

Jason’s gaze was icy as he turned to the man. "If there’s something you need to know, you can ask Troy. He’s your boss, is he not?"

Draco chuckled, shaking his head. "Haha, no, Boss Troy keeps his cards to his chest. I wanted to at least see one, you know? To maybe sell it to other people, or at least feel it. I heard that it gives you an incredible high if you inject it into your bloodstream."

Inject? What the fuck was this idiot saying... And Jason did not believe Troy had such a big mouth. This fucker was probing him. He was either way too ambitious, or he was a liability for Troy and Jason.

Jason merely looked away from the man, not entertaining the conversation. He wondered what would happen if he told Troy about Draco’s big mouth. That would be a good show of loyalty to the cause would it not? Draco was either going to die, or he was going to get severely punished.

Draco chuckled awkwardly, sensing he’d overstepped. Jason said nothing more, and then when the doors opened up again, he stepped out into the opulent penthouse where Troy awaited. But what Jason saw upon entering stopped him in his tracks.

A secretary lay sprawled on the table, her clothes in disarray as Troy took body shots off her bare skin. The scene was debauched, chaotic, and completely on brand for the man Jason had come to confront.

This guy… how could someone so cold and calculating be so hot-blooded? That was what Jason thought at that moment, but right after having that thought he shook his head. He was equally simultaneously cold-blooded and hot-blooded, was he not? Maybe that is why they got along so well.

Troy looked up, licking some vodka off his lips and grinning as he spotted Jason walking in with Draco. "Haha! Come in, my friend. Don’t be shy!" he called out, raising a glass in mock salute.

Jason’s smirk returned, but his eyes gleamed with a dangerous edge. This night was about to get interesting. He walked in there, and seeing the other female who always stood by Troy’s side, this time showing her leg-braced holster and her gun, he smiled.

"Let me guess," Jason said with a shrug. "You’re going to invite me to take a body shot too?"

Troy smirked coldly turning to the woman. Haha. This night was definitely about to get interesting.
