Summer Daze

Chapter Fourteen | Pleasure: Rated R.

NOTE: At the start of a certain paragraph, I have text bolded to indicate when the rated R scene begins for anyone that chooses to skip it. There is more bolded text at the end of another paragraph to signify the end of the rated R scene, so kind of like brackets. Hope this helps. Enjoy the chapter everyone!

°~*...*~*...*~°

The band of instruments playing in the background is serene and melodic, creating a peaceful atmosphere, while the several couples occupying the restaurant dine together, including one couple in particular. Josh's hands gently squeeze Maya's butt as she sits in his lap, mouths fused together as they openly kiss at their table in the middle of the dining room; obsessed with the way her body looks in the white draped bodycon dress that perfectly accentuates her curves, and displays just enough skin. It's tight around her waist, stopping halfway above her knees with the top half of the ensemble draping elegantly in front of her breast without showcasing too much cleavage.

They had already finished dinner, eager to be intimate with each other no matter who's watching. Albeit, Josh urging Maya to come from her side of the table to be closer to him. It's Saturday evening, Josh not expected to work on the weekends along with Maya not obligated to babysit. Ergo, the plan to getaway at a hotel couldn't have been better timing.

Josh then smiles, Maya like a feather as she sits on top of him, and firmly holding the sides of his face as she strongly kisses him; tongue wrestling and teeth biting. They know people are staring at them, but they couldn't care less. Needless to say, growing distracted when someone walks up to their table, purposely coughing, and Maya and Josh briefly refrain from kissing long enough to witness who's trying to get their attention.

It's their waiter from earlier, and his cheeks look red as he skittishly looks at the couple being affectionate as if nobody else is around. "Are you two all done?"

"Not really. I think we could've got a few more minutes in," Josh smirks, referencing to the kissing, and Maya moves a hand to her mouth to stifle her giggle.

The waiter awkwardly purses his lips. "I meant with your food."

"Oh, right. Yeah, we're done."

"Great. And would you like dessert by any chance?" the guy questions, and Josh gazes at Maya lustfully.

She feels his lingering stare, and slaps his chest playfully. "He's not talking about that kind of dessert, Boing."

"Are you sure?"

"We're fine, thanks. We'll just have the check now if you don't mind," Maya says, ignoring Josh's witty comment, and sparing the young waiter from anymore uncomfortableness. He nods before walking away with their dishes, assuring his return. Maya then looks back at Josh, and it's seemingly impossible for him to stop smiling. She rolls her eyes. "You are something else…"

Josh chuckles. "I think it's the dress. I can't think straight when I see you in it,"

Maya smirks, looping her arms around Josh's neck prior to leaning down to peck his lips. "Don't worry. I'll be taking it off soon," she whispers—the chaste tone in her voice, causing Josh's heart to pulsate.

"Is it possible to stop being in love with you?"

"I'm sure it is, but we both know you don't want that."

A few minutes later, and the waiter finally comes back with their check, which Josh volunteers to pay single-handedly much to Maya's chagrin. The waiter bids them a good evening, Maya's hand intertwined with Josh's as he leads them out of the restaurant, and over to an elevator. Once alone inside, hugging her torso as he pulls her close, and smashing his lips to hers like she's a drug he never wants to give up. Josh's hand glides up the side of Maya's leg, feeling smooth, bare skin until his palm comes in contact with the fabric of her dress. It rides up a little bit, causing Maya to blush. "Someone's getting beside himself,"

"Sorry, babe." Josh winks with a wistful smirk, satisfied with the notion of having Maya all to himself even if only for one night.

She looks into his eyes dreamily, feeling as if she's on cloud nine. Maya's fantasized about moments like these for so many years, and for it to finally be happening—it honestly seems surreal. "I love you."

"I love you, too."

It's not until the elevator doors open that Maya realizes they're on the roof, and eyes massive as she gazes at the breathtaking sight. There's lights elegantly hanging, a fire pit of burning rocks in the center, and a marvelous view that overlooks the entire area.

Josh hands Maya a flute glass full of champagne—the blonde too preoccupied with how beautiful the ambience is to even notice he walked away. He tenderly holds Maya by the waist, guiding her to the edge of the roof, and peeking over the ledge as they sip, smile, and gaze. "I'm glad you talked me into this." Maya murmurs, bashful by the longing look in Josh's eyes as he turns his head to stare at her.

His smile is delicate, and his emotions are calm just having her beside him. "Good. The time we've spent together since you got here has only made me realize how stupid I was being for continuing to make you wait on this, although I would've suggested this even if we weren't official, yet."

"It's not weird for you, is it? Being with the girl you practically watched grow up, and protected as if she were another niece..."

Josh looks at Maya intently, his eyes frantically searching hers. Soon he shakes his head. "No, Maya. It's not weird." He admits. "Riley's my niece and you're her best friend and you have been for years, so watching you grow up was inevitable. Do I think we've come a long way from the long game? Yes, and if I had known then how amazing it is being with you, I wouldn't have treated your feelings so harshly." Josh confesses, rendering Maya speechless as she stares at him with her lips parted; her emotions fiery, while thousands of butterflies swarm around inside of her.

Josh reaches a hand up, swiping one of her fallen tears away with his thumb, and Maya rapidly blinks. She lightly chuckles in attempts of easing her anxiousness. "Wow…I can't believe I actually got to witness you saying that. A part of me always hoped this would happen, but I honestly didn't know what the odds were. Even moving here, I didn't know whether you'd be with someone else already, but then you tried to kiss me in the middle of my apartment," Maya says, her voice cracking. She sniffles before wiping her own eyes, and burying her face into Josh's chest when he wraps his arms around her after setting their drinks down.

There's a slight breeze in the air as they hold one another—Josh's chin resting on top of Maya's head as they're turned to the side, so they both can look at the skyline. The milestone most couples deal with is when to say I love you, but for them, confessing those three words is a piece of cake. Instead, their accomplishments consisting of successfully waiting to be together, ignoring the judgement, and listening to their hearts. Josh doesn't want to hurt Maya, which is why he'd been so skeptical to take things further, although finally sees what it means to be with someone you love.

There will be fights and there will be disagreements, but Josh loves Maya too much to shatter everything they've built over petty business when ninety-five percent of the time, there will be laughs…hugs…and plenty of kissing.

The mood is quiet and relaxing as they proceed to enjoy each other's company without having to talk. However, suddenly not alone when a camera flashes, and its shutter can distinctly be heard. Josh and Maya quickly glance behind them to see two girls probably no older than themselves, holding up their phones, and grinning hopelessly at Josh specifically. "Oh my gosh, it is him!" one girl whispers to her friend, who's standing right next to her.

Maya backs away from Josh, grinding her teeth. "Uh oh…" she groans in irritation. "I think you have company,"

"What do you mean?"

"It was only a matter of time, Josh." Maya mutters just as the girls approach them.

Josh looks at the two females curiously with an eyebrow arched. "Uh, do you girls need something?"

"Look, Lacey! He's even sexier in person!"

"I know, right? How lucky are we?"

"Not that lucky…" Maya mumbles to herself, causing everyone to look at her.

She folds her arms, rolling her eyes. Meanwhile, Josh is still trying to understand what's happening. "Uh, not to be rude, but we're trying to be alone. Is there anything you two—"

"We saw you on YouTube!" Lacey shouts. She has curly blonde hair that falls down her back, and has green eyes in contrast to her friend, who has brown eyes. She's black with caramel colored skin, dark hair that flows straight pass her shoulders, and they're both about the same height as Maya. "You were amazing in Taryn Reeves' fashion show!"

"Thanks?"

"We had a feeling we saw you downstairs, and followed you up here just to be sure!" Fallon—the girl with the dark hair says. "And we were hoping we could get a picture with you?"

"Why?" Josh asks in a snarky voice, genuinely perplexed. He walked literally one time his entire life in his first runway show ever, and then never again. Albeit, Josh doesn't understand what the big deal is. His walk wasn't even that great.

"You're famous!"

"Yeah, and we may never get this chance again!" Lacey says happily, and Josh looks to Maya questionably.

She's been quiet nearly the entire time, expecting something like this would happen eventually even if Josh didn't.

Fallon then frowns as she looks at Maya distastefully. "Aren't you the girl that got drunk, and then kicked out of the fashion show?"

"Oh, yeah she is!" Lacey says. "You used to work for Taryn until she fired you for almost destroying her show. You only lasted one day before she got rid you," She laughs along with Fallon, and Maya tightly clenches her fists.

She steps a little closer ready to release some steam, but Josh stops her. He gets in front of her, cupping her cheeks as he pulls her close, and passionately kissing her like it's the last time they ever will. Josh makes sure the two girls can see them, and they immediately grimace. Lacey scoffs. "Ugh, I can't believe you're taken already, and by a sloppy alcoholic, no less." She says disgustedly, and Josh breaks the kiss the minute the words leave her mouth, taken aback that anyone would talk about Maya like that, especially right in front of him.

She must have a death wish.

He walks up to Lacey and Fallon, his expression daunting as they look at him fretfully. "Leave her alone, got it? You two don't know anything, so don't come over here with any bullshit because I'm not in the mood for it." Josh says with his voice deep and intimidating. "And you can forget about the picture, not that you deserve one anyway. Now if you'll excuse us," Josh grabs Maya by the hand, and pulling her behind him as they quickly walk away from the two girls.

They get back on the elevator, preparing to go back to their suite, and it's a stiff silence the whole way down. Maya looks at Josh remorsefully, happy that he defended her, but reluctant of the side of him she never got to witness before until now. She sluggishly walks into the room after him, making sure to put a sign on the door, and watching Josh closely as he angrily rips off his jacket before tossing it aside on the floor. "Josh…"

"I'm fine, Maya." Josh huffs, undoing his belt, and unbuttoning his shirt. "I just can't get over what that girl said about you as if she's knows the whole story! I swear, this is exactly why I don't want to be famous."

"According to them, you already are." Maya says as she walks further into the room, and standing directly in front of Josh. He's so agitated that he can't even properly unbutton his shirt, so she takes over for him. "I appreciate what you did for me,"

"I would never let anyone get away with treating you like that, Maya." Josh says gruffly. "And I wish I didn't have to get mean with them because I don't like talking to girls like that, but they need to know that it's not okay to talk to people like they're beneath you or something." Josh groans, while Maya finishes the last button on his shirt.

She's trying to stay calm, but truthfully seething right now that some random girls just called her an alcoholic when clearly she isn't. Josh may have protected her like he always will, but it's still not the same as being able to defend yourself.

Maya slides Josh's shirt off of his shoulder, revealing the plain, white tank top he wore underneath it. She then forcefully pushes Josh back on the bed, and he looks up at her skeptically. "Maya…" he tapers, distracted as she starts to strip out of the white cocktail dress, exposing her lacy lingerie, and kicking off her heels. Josh swallows. "What are you—"

"Don't talk." Maya demands, voluntarily pulling off his T-shirt, and crawling on top of him before sensually caressing her lips with his.

Josh doesn't argue or complain as Maya's body lays on top of his, his hands traveling back to her butt like he'd done earlier in the restaurant with the only difference being that he feels more skin. Josh has only ever seen Maya in a bikini as they didn't get dressed in front of one another before going out to eat, so he obviously couldn't contain his excitement; aroused by the blonde's quiet moans and soft lips, and when she pauses, Josh is completely frustrated.

"Get up." She says boldly, and Josh willingly cooperates.

He moves further back on the bed, so he's near the headboard, and watching Maya intently as she walks about the room. She goes over to a drawer located in the hotel room, retrieving two pairs of handcuffs and a blindfold and soon Josh's eyes widen. "W-Where did you get those?"

"They came with the room," Maya says simply with a shrug before chaining Josh to the bed by his wrists. "I guess they know this is the suite where romance tends to happen, which I'm sure you knew that when you requested it…" she smirks, while Josh's mind is on a whirlwind of thoughts and fascinations; his eyes never leaving sight of Maya until she finally covers his eyes with the blindfold, hoping to stimulate him more by removing one of his senses. She then goes over to the mini refrigerator in their room, and pulling out some goodies.

Chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and strawberries to be exact.

Josh swallows again, mouth dry and skin tingling as he closely listens to her movements. "What are you about to do?"

"Just relax..." Maya says calmly, and carrying everything in hers hands toward the bed prior to crawling over to Josh, so she can sit on top of him. She opens the chocolate syrup bottle first, slowly dripping and squirting some along the surface of his rippled chest and abs before squeezing some whipped cream on each of his nipples. Maya's voice is low and seductive as she whispers to him. "You're upset, I'm upset…I think some pleasure will do us both some good."

"Ma—" Josh starts to protest, but can't even complete her name the second he feels Maya's slick, wet tongue gliding along his skin, and he immediately starts to flinch.

Maya casually straddles him, gradually licking up as much of the chocolate syrup from his chest and stomach, and looking up at him every so often to witness Josh's reaction. He looks tempted and seduced, mouth open as he pants with the occasional bite and lick of his lips, infatuated with the hormones Maya's got him feeling, and truthfully dying to rip off the rest of her clothes right here and now. If you told him forty-eight hours ago that he would be in a hotel room when he'd a get a erection by Maya locking him up and licking food off his skin, he wouldn't believe it.

Her tongue tickles as she slurps the whipped cream, softly biting and gnawing the base of each nipple, and Josh practically growling in frustration. Maya then licking her lips before reaching up to kiss Josh again, and he instantly follows every move her mouth makes, trying to keep up as she kisses him hard and passionately. He's desperately losing his mind, his genitals itching to slide inside of Maya, and feel the hot, wet, tightness of her walls wrapping around his dick. Josh is overwhelmed just thinking about it, wishing Maya would stop teasing him, and when she suddenly gets up, heavily breathing as he's forced to do nothing but lay there.

She goes to the foot of the bed, carefully taking off his pants, and Maya's eyes widen when she sees the boner clear as day as it pokes through underneath his boxer shorts. She narrows her eyes at him, and Josh looks unmistakably embarrassed with his cheeks red. "Maya…that's enough."

"I didn't even do anything yet," she laughs, it clearly not taking much to get Josh excited. Nevertheless, her countenance intense as she looks at how long and hard Josh is.

Josh then starts to fight, attempting to break free from the restraints. "Maya, I'm serious."

"I don't think you are…" Maya challenges, and smirking triumphantly to herself. She knows Josh is enjoying this even if he's refusing to admit it. Therefore, slowly reaching out to touch it, while Josh hopelessly pleas with her not to.

"Maya, you don't have to do this…let me go. Now."

"But don't you think we should do something about this?" Maya taunts with a wicked smirk, playful sarcasm oozing from her lips as she gently gropes him through his underwear, and Josh tightly squeezes his eyes shut with his jaw clenched. "Besides, you clearly like it..."

"Dammit, Maya! This isn't funny!"

"It kind of is…" Maya says, beginning to stroke him, and Josh throws his head back in exasperation.

His heartbeat his rapid with his moist chest rising and falling, begging for Maya to stop even though he doesn't really want her to. He never thought he could love teasing so much; Maya's plan of giving him pleasure to ease his once anger evidently working. Regardless, Josh can't ignore the sexual urges as all it takes is one good tug to break the handcuffs, and trade positions with the blonde as he pins her down to the bed. The groping then momentarily ceasing as Josh can sense Maya moving away from him only to return with a surprise grip to his penis, and Josh instinctively moans; Maya's hand slipping underneath his shorts to touch the bare foreskin, and continuing to stroke and explore the length as a slippery lubricant intensifies the job, causing Josh's dick to throb.

"Why are you doing this…" he says breathlessly, his body growing more and more sweaty with each tick of the clock.

Maya simply shrugs. "I don't know…I guess I just wanted to," she murmurs innocently, while enjoying the look of bliss and satisfaction as her smooth, velvety gestures nearly have Josh speechless.

"Shit…Fuck, Maya!" Josh yells with his teeth gritted, and the blonde smirks victoriously. She then grabs a single strawberry with her free hand, and placing it between Josh's teeth.

"Here, chew on that. Apparently you curse a lot when you're horny," Maya teases, crawling back on top of him, and purposely sitting down on his cock as she kisses him again the minute he swallows the ripe, juicy fruit; her hips slowly winding and grinding against him. She then moves her mouth to his belly button, trailing kisses up until reaching the crook his neck, and beginning to bite and suck just like he'd done to her only a few days prior, and sending Josh into overdrive.

He shudders. "Damn, Maya…I don't know how much longer I can take this…" Josh says as he heavily pants, wishing he wasn't blindfolded, and Maya smirks. They're not even having sex, and still he feels like he's reaching his peak; ready to release himself any second now.

"Do you feel better now?" she asks, her tone wispy and flirty as she briefly pauses.

Josh quickly nods his head. "Yes, absolutely! One hundred percent…" he exclaims, and Maya slowly sits up as she stares down at him with her hands pressed to his abs; admiring the distinct definition.

"Alright, then. Well, I'm going to go take a shower now..." She announces, starting to get up from the bed, and Josh is anxious as he grows still.

"Wait, you're not leaving me like this, right?"

"How about you use those muscles you were bragging to me about a few days ago, and get yourself out," Maya smirks, and grabbing a white robe on her way to the bathroom.

"Maya!" Josh shouts hopelessly, stopping her in her tracks, but she doesn't turn around.

"Yes, Josh?"

"Can I come with you?" Josh asks still out of breath, and Maya's brow slightly twitches, unbeknownst to him. She was never planning to take it as far as seeing Josh completely naked, and now he's asking to shower with her.

Maya gradually turns around to look at him. "What?"

"I want to come with you," Josh repeats without a single stutter or hint of hesitation.

Maya nervously purses her lips. "Do you realize what you're asking?"

"Yes, and I'm ready if you are." Josh says sincerely, and Maya doesn't know what to say.

She knew this moment would come eventually if they're serious about lasting a while, and with the occasional mention of kids. Albeit, finally seeing each other naked was inevitable.

Maya studies his face, seeking any indication of worry or skepticism, but truthfully doesn't find any. She slowly starts to walk closer back over to the mattress until she's standing directly next to the bedside. Maya steadily breathes. "Are you sure?"

"I've never been more sure of anything, Maya. I want to do this…but only if you want to."

A smiles slowly appears on Maya's cheeks, and she leans down to passionately kiss Josh. "I want to..." She agrees, quickly getting excited.

She unlocks the handcuffs, freeing Josh from the bed, and then taking off the blindfold. Josh suddenly seems more broader and stronger as he towers over her the second he stands up from the bed. Josh lifts her chin, staring deeply into her eyes. "No regrets?"

"No regrets." Maya replies, and Josh's smile is large as he anticipates what's to come.

He picks Maya up, her legs securing themselves around his waist, and guiding the both of them all the way to the bathroom where he then kicks the door shut.

It's time for Maya to finish what she started.

PLEASE REVIEW, the more of you to comment, the faster the chapters come :)

100 REVIEWS, WHAT? Shallow Pleasure will no longer be my most reviewed story anymore at this rate. You guys are the best, and this is exactly why I do this. Writing for you all is amazing. I love reading your reactions, thoughts, opinions, and I hope I can think of another Joshaya story after this, so I can keep doing this. Fourth time's the charm, right?

Most of you were for the original version of this chapter, and I hope it was good because this was my first attempt ever at writing rated R. Usually my stories don't call for it so it's not necessary, but then I figured why not? I hope it was worth the wait and anticipation and if not…I'm sorry to disappoint. I honestly don't think it was that bad since there was no sex scene, but still kind of explicit in other departments I guess. I took inspiration for one other famous author, whose story I'm currently reading as well, and I wanted to make the scene fun and romantic at the same time.

I tried to indicate where the suggestive parts begin and end for anybody, who didn't want to read it, so I hope that was helpful. Otherwise, I apologize for that too. I kind of made a big deal about this chapter and if you found the R rated scene to be...not up to par, I hope it doesn't change your overall thought of the chapter since the hotel room scene wasn't the only thing worth paying attention to.

By the way, you guys can just call me Brittany if you want rather than addressing me by my username. :)

Recap:

1. Josh and Maya get romantic, while having dinner together.

2. Josh takes Maya to the roof, and they share a heartfelt moment.

3. Two of Josh's "fans" follow him and Maya to the roof, and Josh immediately grows angry the minute one of them disrespects Maya.

4. Maya and Josh go back to their suite, and Maya comes up with the idea to pleasure Josh since he's so upset about what happened.

5. The chapter ends with Maya agreeing to let Josh shower with her, and carries her into the bathroom.

Author's Replies:

Alwaystoolate: I needed that talk between Jin and Josh to happen simply to exploit how insecure Josh is about the future of his relationship with Maya, and Jin basically giving him advice not to worry. As for Marc, well…you'll see what's to come regarding him very soon.

Artsy: I HOPE YOU LIKED THE CHAPTER BECAUSE I TRIED MY HARDEST TO MAKE IT AS CUTE AND ROMANTIC AS POSSIBLE! BY THE WAY, LOVE YOUR USE OF CAPS LOCK.

joshaya4life: You're going to make me cry. Thank you for loving the story so much, and I hope I can continue to give you guys what you want.

Thanks to everybody that read, reviewed, and followed. Much appreciation!
