I hate that more than I can express.
“We’re going back to LA,” I say.
“No, we’re not.” His tone is resolute.
Changing tack and looking for some leverage in my argument, I ask, “How much money has been taken?”
He shifts before he speaks, and looks out over the ocean. “The accountant figures about five hundred thousand dollars. I’m just waiting to get the exact figure from Zane once he’s spoken with the accountant again.”
“Five. Hundred. Fucking. Thousand. Dollars!” I gasp. “Someone has stolen five hundred thousand dollars from you?”
If I was angry before, I’m bloody raging now.
He slides me a look. “From the business, but basically, yes.”
“We need to go back to LA, Jake. You need to get back and sort this out.”
“No, we’re—”
“No,” I say firmly. “This is huge. This is fraud we’re talking about here. Fraud against your company. A huge amount of f**king fraud! When did you find out about this?”
“Yesterday.”
I give him a pissed-off look. “You should have told me yesterday.”
“Tru, don’t be ridiculous, you were sick. Look I’m telling you now like you asked.” He brings my hand to his lips and kisses it. “I know you’re worried, which is exactly what I didn’t want, but here we are. No f**kin’ way are we leaving this island for another three days. I’m on vacation with my girl—and no, you’re not keeping me from my business obligations,” he interjects, cutting me off with his finger to my lips when I open my mouth to protest. “Yes, the label is having some problems. Problems that Zane is more than capable of handling for another three days until I get back.”
Staring into my eyes, he traces his fingertip over my lower lip, tugging it down ever so slightly.
I watch his pupils dilate. And I feel the air instantly shift between us.
My ni**les harden. I’m not wearing a bra under my vest, so they put on an obvious show to Jake.
His eyes darken further as they move downward, over my br**sts.
“If you want to help me, Tru, then give me this time with you,” he says, his voice rough. “It’s what I need right now. You are what I need right now.”
Knowing exactly what Jake needs, and more than willing to give it to him, I climb onto his lap, straddling him. “Okay,” I say. “We’ll do this your way.”
Giving me a sexy smile, he rests his large hands on my behind. “What do you want to do today?” he asks with blatant sex in his voice.
I reach between us and palm him through his shorts. “I want you inside me—”
Apparently I don’t need to say anything more. Jake is on his feet in one swift move, taking me with him, and he carries me back to our villa in record time.
The instant we’re inside, he sets me down and tears my vest off. And yes, I mean he’s ripped it off.
Fuck, he’s strong, and it’s so totally hot.
My shorts and panties are next. Thankfully, they avoid a tearing, as he whips them down my legs in one go.
I’ve been stripped bare in a matter of seconds. Only Jake could make tearing my clothes off a show of how strong his love is for me.
I love that he can make me feel so wanted and cherished.
“Fuck, I’ve missed this…you.” His eyes devour me for long seconds, then his mouth is on mine. Taking me with him in a few strides, he has me flat on my back on the bed.
Moving down my body, he takes my nipple into his mouth and runs his tongue around it. Heat pools in my core, leaving me wet and wanting, and I moan with need and desire.
He grazes his teeth over my nipple, then moving down and off me, he kneels on the floor by the bed, grabs me by the thighs, and yanks me forward.
I gasp.
My legs are set to rest on his shoulders, and he slides a finger over my sex.
“So wet,” he rasps.
Knowing what he’s about to do, I close my eyes and let my head fall back into the comfort of the bed.
“Watch me,” he commands.
Inclining, resting up on my elbows, I look at him.
“I want you to watch me…make you come.”
Jake’s never asked me to watch him before. I don’t really care what’s made him ask—I’m just glad he did, because it’s so f**king sexy. He’s so f**king sexy.
Doing as he asks, I stay inclined and keep my eyes fixed on him.
I watch as he runs his tongue over his upper lip, like he tastes me already. His bright blue eyes darken to inky as he leans forward and puts his mouth close to my sex. Then he very slowly licks his tongue over my sensitive bud, all the while not moving his eyes from mine.
“Mmm, so sweet,” he murmurs.
I’m riveted.
Watching him tend to me in this way is mind-blowing. It elevates the sensation of his touch to a level I didn’t even know existed. It’s insanely sensual watching as Jake’s tongue moves over the most intimate part of me, in the most intimate way. What makes me nearly lose control is seeing the pleasure on his face while he’s doing it.
My hands fist in the sheets when he blows over my already sensitised clit, driving the sensations higher and me wilder.
I want him inside me now.
Jake pushes a finger inside me as he continues to lick me to crazy with his tongue, and I instantly clench around it.
“You want it…my c**k inside you?” he murmurs, sending vibrations humming over my sex.
