"Why can't you just come home for a little bit?" Jade nearly screamed into the phone.
"Baby, I have a lot of work to do up here and my family needs me."
"And they just decided now that they needed you? Dante, I'm just feeling that I'm beating my head against a brick wall and I want to see you."
"I will be back soon and then we can talk about the engagement."
She became enraged, how dare he bring that up in her condition, "You want to talk about marriage when you can't even come home to spend some time with me?! You know what Dante, just forget it, go back to work!" she slammed her phone shut and nearly threw her phone across the room.
When did she come to a point where she basically had to beg someone to fuck her? Especially when it came from someone who was suppose to be her boyfriend and wanted to be her future husband. Last night had been so rough for her. After she left the shop, she listened to Dominique mock/lecture for the entire ride to her house. Not only that, she brought herself to an orgasm in the shower. She still had everything fresh in her mind from last night, from James muscled arms gripping her, to his lips pressing firmly against hers. This was so ridiculous. She was about to get some work done when she saw Katrina walk in. Oh great, someone who is happy with their relationship, she thought to herself.
"Hey, what's going on?" Katrina said sitting in front of her.
"Just the usual stuff. I am horny and my boyfriend is not delivering."
"I thought you were going to do the whole cheating thing."
"I was, but" she sighed, "I don't know if I can handle that."
"You seemed all down for it yesterday, what happened?"
She didn't tell them yet what happened yesterday, actually she was a little shocked that Dominique hadn't told her. It made her a little nervous to think about what had happened and how she felt. She might as well get it over with.
"Last night when I went to check on my car, I almost had sex," she paused, " with James." she waited for a reaction.
She looked up when she didn't hear anything and Katrina sat there with her same understanding look, "I actually knew, I was just waiting on you to tell me."
"I should have known. Anyway, it was going real far when I just happen to see Dominique."
"How far did it go?"
"Kissing was just enough for me. I was almost on the desk and he was kissing and pulling. It was just so erotic."
"I thought you hated James."
"I don't hate him, just his smart ass mouth."
"Now you see what that smart ass mouth can do and you are hooked." Katrina smiled.
"I'm going to let that slide because it is so true. It wasn't just the kiss though, something happened when he kissed me. I felt like I was spinning out of control and felt like..."
"Sparks went off?"
"Yea and..."
"That you couldn't get enough of it, but he made you feel like a woman."
"Exactly."
Katrina nodded, "That's how I felt when Scott first kissed me."
"Which one; when you were younger or when you two met up again? You know it doesn't matter, you and Scott belonged together, it's different."
"It maybe a different situation, but the outcome remains the same. You felt that click when he kissed you."
"Is that what it's called, I thought it was extreme lack of sex." Katrina laughed as Jade ran her fingers through her hair.
"So, what are you going to do?"
"Go back to being angry and frustrated till Dante comes home."
"Okay Jade, I'm going to be honest with you. You're horny and you aren't getting any, but Dante makes sure he gets his. When is this going to register to you?"
"Now you are condoning me to cheat?"
"I'm not saying that. I'm just saying for you to put everything together. I think part of your attraction to James is the fact that he doesn't kiss your butt and gives just as much as you do. I'm just wanting you to think about it for a little bit. Now come into the kitchen and let's start cooking." Jade couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright then."
Later that day, Jade had just came back from picking up some extra stuff for the restaurant. She pretty much threw herself into her work and tried not to think about that kiss. Her arms were so full that she didn't think she would be able to make it to the back. She felt her load lighten as soon as she walked in. Katrina must have been waiting on her she thought, but looked up to see James. Damn, she really didn't want to deal with this now.
"Thank you." she said and walked past him.
"You're welcome. I thought I come by and give you an update on the car."
"And the phone didn't work for you because?" she said heading to the back.
"Well, it's lunch and a man does need to eat." well nice to see last night didn't knock the bitchiness out of her, he thought.
"Well, I didn't need you to help me with the bags." she said handing everything to one of her cooks.
Okay he was now fed up. He grabbed her arm and pulled her to the back where no one could see them. He felt like he was doing a lot for this girl and here she was still treating him like he was something on the bottom of her shoe. He put up with it for as long as he could especially since that kiss they shared last night.
He pulled her into her office and slammed the door. Jade was ready to unleash on him for embarrassing her at work. Who did he think he was?
"Now you listen..." she started.
"No you listen." he interrupted, "I don't know what you have against me, but I suggest you let it go. I don't play those roller coaster games nor have time for them. I don't care whatever your boyfriend has you going through but I'm not him so treat me with some fucking respect. Got that princess?" he ended glaring down at her.
Jade's mouth dropped at his words. Did he really just talk to her like that? She couldn't believe her ears or how her body suddenly reacted to the way he talked to her and how he stared. He didn't break his gaze so she figured she better respond.
"Got it." she simple stated with her mouth tensed up.
"Good, now like I told you before I just came to get some lunch and to give you an update on your car." he said walking to the other side of her desk.
She blinked a couple of times to get her mind focused back on what he was saying now. The car, right, she thought to herself.
"Yes, is it bad?" she said turning to face him.
"Like I said yesterday, it's good. I just have to wait on this part to come in. I should get it later today."
"Wow, you have pretty much thrown yourself into work since you got that shop."
"I don't believe in slacking off." he said sitting on the corner of her desk.
"Don't you have to move in and get settled?"
"I will eventually. I just want to make sure that everyone is taking care of, especially you." She raised her eyebrow, "Why especially me?"
"I have a soft sport for army brats." she laughed out loud tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and saw him smile.
Her knees started to feel weak as she looked at his smile. For him to look so rough and demanding he has a smile of a young boy. It was a very infectious smile that made her return it.
"What would you like to eat?" she said remembering the other reason he came.
"Come over here and I will tell you."
"Why do I have to walk over there?"
"Because I want to touch you." her mouth dropped, "I am a blunt man."
"Why do you want to touch me?" she had to ask the loaded question.
"Because I like what I felt last night and I've been up almost all night thinking about touching you again."
No this couldn't be happening. Was he honestly saying this to her. She thought about not indulging in his request especially with the way he talked to her earlier, but it was that same tone that made her feet move toward him.
She stood in front of him with her arms folded across her chest. She couldn't take her eyes off the way his gray shirt adorned his muscles. He had a grey bandana covering his hair, she would like to be reminded how his hair looked again. Her eyes scanned to connect with his, staring back at her. She wondered what exactly he was thinking.
He took one of her arms and pulled it away. The way her chest pushed up with her arms crossed was really distracting for him. Her other arm fell at her side as he pulled her closer to him. She felt her body shiver with her being so close to him. His gaze fell on her lips, those thick plump lips that invaded his dreams last night. She wrapped her arms around his neck bringing her closer to him. She smelled so good, he thought to himself and he wondered if she was still responsive to his touch.
His hand reached up to grab the back of her head and pulled her down to his lips. She fell right into the kiss, wrapping her arms tighter around him. His hand traveled down to her hips, griping them tight. She was starting to like when he was forceful. She never thought she could get so turned on by him and his strong hands. He was definitely gifted with his tongue, she thought as his kiss dominated her mouth.
He heard her moan against his lips and something about that snapped to him. He couldn't explain the urgency he felt at that moment, but he wanted her bad. He dreamed of her most of the night, of what it could have happened if she had never left. It left him frustrated and hard most of the night.
He reached for her shirt and nearly ripped all the buttons off, leaving her in a black lace bra. She gasped against his lips feeling the cool air hit her chest. He broke away from her lips to kiss her neck. She clenched on to him tighter when his tongue ran slowly down her neck. She couldn't afford to get a hickey from him, but this was feeling way too good to stop. It felt great to be wanted and desired. Her hand gripped his muscular arms as he continued kissing and licking her neck. He stood to full height keeping his eyes bearing down on her. His eyes were so deep that she could get lost in them. How could he have such an effect on her? He pulled her over to her chair and he sat down. He pulled her to straddle his lap. She was surprised she went this far without mentioning her boyfriend. Boyfriend? She did have one of those.
"Um, Jam.." her voice ended in a sudden gasp for air when his thumb grazed her harden nipple. She bucked against him as her skirt rose to her waist.
He didn't think she would be so responsive to him. Watching her eyes slit closed and head thrown back sent a direct signal to his erection. Her moisture covered her panties as he kept on teasing her. He was itching to get her hair down to see how she looked when she lost control. He knew a good way to try and see.
