Last time on Darker…
As we drove into the night I wondered if the future we were beginning to plan was in jeopardy. With random thoughts crowding my mind the wheels were spinning in my head. Mrs. Robinson had placed a call while at the party. Was she part of this? Was she Kayla's accomplice? And where the hell was Jesse taking us?
And now…
"A penny for your thoughts." Jesse broke the silence as we continued driving to our unknown destination. It was late and the more I thought about the whole vandalism thing, the more it bothered me because a piece of the puzzle was missing and I needed to find out what that was. "Seriously Becs, I don't think I've ever seen you so quiet. What're you thinking ab-"
"-How did she know which vehicle was mine?" My interruption surprised him as the words carelessly tumbled out of my mouth.
"What?"
"I haven't driven that thing since you had it brought over. How did she know it belonged to me?"
Jesse's lungs deflated as I apparently struck a nerve. "Um...I bought all my subs the same car." He admitted with sense of guilt. "It's rated as being one of the safest in its class."
Closing my eyes I let out a soft chuckle and couldn't believe what I was hearing. "So it wasn't so much of a graduation gift, was it?"
"It was both. The day of your graduation you accepted my offer so..." His response made me cringe as I wanted to open the door, drop and roll. But not wanting to argue I sucked it up, rubbed my temple and let out a sigh. "It's just something I did to ensure my subs had safe transportation."
Just as I was about to say something I would regret a call came through the car's speakers via Bluetooth. Pressing the button on the steering wheel Benji's voice filled the cabin space.
"Hey man...what did you find out?" Jesse asked as he glanced over at me with reservation. Staring straight ahead I rested my elbow against the passenger door and leaned my forehead against my open palm while I observed impatient drivers negotiate lane changes without signaling as they weaved in and out of the L.A. traffic. It surprised me because even at this late hour there seemed to be a ton of people still out on the road. Perhaps they were running away from crazing ex's as well.
"The cops are here and dusting for prints from the car and apartment." Benji reported, bringing my attention back to the crime scene.
"Apartment? So, she did get in."
"Yes. There's evidence of a break-in with shattered glass from a broken vase, a slashed canvas painting...and something else..." After a brief pause Jesse's trusted assistant continued on. "She got into the master suite and sort of went ballistic."
"What do you mean went ballistic? What did she do?"
"Um...I'd rather not say with..."
Glancing over at me, Jesse picked up his cell phone and held it to his ear while I regarded him with increased curiosity.
"You're off speaker. Now tell me what the hell happened!"
As Jesse listened his eyes widened and jaw dropped.
"Everything?" He asked, exhaling deeply. While observing his reaction all I could think of was my mixing equipment.
"Replace it all." He ordered. "I want all remnants of the break-in gone before we return."
Breaking out in a smile Jesse nodded. "And that's why I pay you the big bucks." He said affectionately. "We still need to find out how she's getting in and avoiding authorities. Until she's in custody I want armed security there twenty-four seven." Jesse barked out more orders. "Get the place cleaned up and locked down. Until the place is secured I don't want anyone there alone, including Ms. Clark. " Jesse paused as he took notice of me. Switching the call back to Bluetooth he placed his phone in a cup holder. "You're back on speaker. We've got a full day planned tomorrow so we won't be back until the evening."
We do?
"Already working on it, boss. Do you want the car replaced?"
"No...just get rid of it. I've got other plans." His voice softened. "So where are we staying tonight?"
"I've got you reserved at the Ritz in Marina Del Rey; it's under my name."
"Perfect! We're actually not that far from there. Thanks man."
Ending the call Jesse turned towards me and with caution, gauged my demeanor as I continued to stare straight ahead, fixated on the reckless drivers as they sped passed us. After a minute or so I decided to break the uncomfortable silence. "So...are you going to tell me what the crazy bitch did?"
"Kayla shredded all of your clothes." He merely stated. "It'll all be replaced by the time we return."
Turning to face him I took a deep breath. "I can give a shit about my clothes. What about my equipment?"
"The door was locked to the multipurpose room, so it's all fine." Letting out a sigh of relief I shook my head and rubbed my temple some more.
"I'm sorry baby. This is all my fault." Without saying a word I placed my hand on his knee and gave it a slight squeeze. Responding to my gesture Jesse brought my hand to his lips. "I promise to make it up to you."
"You didn't cause this." As much as I wanted to be angry with him, I had to keep in mind that everything that had recently transpired was a result of his former life. If I wanted a future with Jesse I had to be strong and suck it up as his past and present collided. Regardless of the arsenal of bullshit that kept coming my way, I still wanted him in my life and would have to keep fighting for us the best way I knew how; with my heart. "So what's on the agenda for tomorrow?"
"Dr. Caverly is in town and will be stopping by in the morning to sort you out before she heads back to Texas. I just need to text her the address of where we're staying." He said as he took the freeway off ramp and came to a stop at a red light. "I can't wait until you're back on birth control; I hate condoms." He added, twisting his face in disgust.
I smirked back. "You're not the only one." My response amused him. "You told Benji we had a full day tomorrow, what's up with that?"
Pulling into valet at the fancy hotel the car came to a stop. "I've got a couple surprises planned, you'll know soon enough."
"Um...okay, that sounds great but what are we going to do about clothes? I didn't bring anything."
"That's what the duffle is for. It's our emergency weekend bag in case we needed to make a run for it...like tonight. It was Benji's idea."
"Nice! I'd say the dude's ready for a raise."
"Don't worry...he and his family are very well taken care of."
As Jesse shut down the engine a valet attendant greeted us and wrote up a ticket. Opening my door another attendant helped me out while Jesse retrieved the duffle from the back seat then took my hand and guided us through the revolving doors leading to the main lobby. Walking up to the check-in counter we produced Benji's credit card and became Mr. And Mrs. Applebaum for the night. Taking the elevator to the top floor, I bit my lip out of habit while Jesse observed me with a predatory look.
"Where are they?" He asked softly.
"What?"
"The ben wa balls. Do you have them?" Smirking at him I retrieved the red velvet pouch from my clutch bag, and by doing so the folded note I was handed earlier fell out and onto the elevator floor. "What's this?" Jesse asked, picking up the paper and handing it over to me.
"Oh! Um...one of the attendants at your parents place gave it to me just before we left."
"Aren't you going to read it?"
Unfolding the letter I quickly scanned it and realized it was from her.
It appears I may have misjudged you. Jesse asked that I leave you alone however if you need help filling in the blanks, text me and we'll do lunch. He seems happy with you, and for that I approve however, he's been hurt enough so I'll be watching you... Call me. (310) ###-####.
Mrs. R...
The nerve of that bitch! And she had the audacity to sign it Mrs. R.
"I can't believe you told her."
"What're you talking about?"
"That I referred to her as Mrs. Robinson."
"It's from Gail?"
"See for yourself." I responded, handing him the paper to read.
"What the fuck is her problem!? I specifically told her to leave you alone!" He fumed. His annoyance was validated with a deep sigh as his fingers raked through his hair. "I'll deal with this tomorrow."
As the elevator reached the top floor we were brought to a double door entry. In an attempt to lighten the mood I handed him the red pouch and gave him a seductive grin. "I really enjoyed these tonight...especially afterwards." Grabbing him by his lapels I pulled him closer and pressed my lips to his. It seemed to work as I felt the tension drain from his face and smile against me. "Let's not let your crazy exes ruin our evening. I've got my own plans..."
Stepping into the suite, like the Four Seasons in Atlanta, it was enormous with diamond shaped porcelain tile flooring throughout and was elaborately decorated Victorian style with a fully stocked bar. It was a bit too gaudy for my taste as several pieces of framed vibrantly colored oil paintings depicting Greek and Roman societies lined the textured walls with an eclectic variety of furniture cluttering the living space, and in the far corner was a grand piano which caught our attention. Okay...this place wasn't so bad. Walking over to the fully stocked bar Jesse poured us drinks while I leaned on one of two floral cloth sofas to remove my crippling stilettos.
"Are you tired?" He asked taking a sip of his brandy.
Shaking my head I gave him one of my trademark smirks. "I was, but for some reason I'm wide awake now." Accepting the hard crystal I tossed back the liquid courage in one swig. Feeling the heat of the strong beverage slide down my throat I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and set the glass down on the sofa table. "If you don't mind, I'd like to explore the rest of this place."
Giving me a quick nod, Jesse picked up the duffle, took my hand and led us to the master retreat. Looking around the room we noticed a sunken jacuzzi and seemed to have the same idea. "Shall we?" He asked suggestively.
My inner goddess was elated as she cheered and clapped her hands like a trained seal. I answered with a smile and walked passed him to check out the oversized tub. "It's got jets."
Without further delay Jesse came up behind me, wrapped his arms around my front and nuzzled my neck. I loved the way his mouth felt on my skin as he sucked on my pulse point and the way his hands always seemed to find their way to my breasts. He knew my body better than I did and made it a very known fact that it belonged to him in every way possible.
"Let's get you out of this." He spoke softly as he unzipped my gown and let the garment fall to the ground. Noticing that I hadn't put my butt floss back on after our earlier rendezvous made him moan inwardly. "You're a very naughty girl." He playfully chastised me reaching between my thighs where my arousal was becoming more apparent by the minute. "And very wet." Sighing softly, he gently licked and kissed along my neck. "You have no idea what you do to me. All I want to do right now is lose myself in you."
Gasping at his touch I was still sensitive from the silver balls and earlier tryst. "You bring it out of me." I breathed as he continued to free me of my garter belt and nylons. "You're wearing way too many clothes." I teased and turned around to help rid him of his tuxedo.
With the jacuzzi filling up with hot water Jesse added some bath oils and switched on the jets while I lit some strategically placed candles and dimmed the lights. Helping me step into the deep soaking tub I scooted forward as Jesse sat behind with his arms and legs enveloping me like an octopus. We sat this way for a while just enjoying the closeness until I felt strong fingers close around my neck and shoulders. He must have sensed my stress from the evening as he kneaded my knots letting the tension dissipate from my body. The porn worthy sounds coming from me made him chuckle while he resumed his massage.
"How's that?" He asked seductively. Moaning my response he laughed and placed soft kisses along the base of my neck. "I know what else you like." He whispered into my ear. His suggestive tone preceded his hands making their way to my breasts, cupping and kneading them while my hands rested on his thighs. Moaning a little louder I arched my neck back against him while his thumbs and index fingers gently squeezed me, tugging and pinching my erect nipples as I was quickly brought to a heightened state of arousal.
Continuing to pull on them I could feel the pressure building inside as my moans escalated into groans. "That's it baby, raise your arms and reach for my hair. " I did exactly as he suggested and lost myself in the pleasure he was giving me as I closed my eyes and tossed my head back against him. I was already squirming and practically panting when he began to nibble on my ear. "Let it go."
His breathy tone ignited my passion as I turned my head and captured his lips while he continued to manipulate me, elongating my tips the way I always loved it. The more we kissed, the more I was fondled bringing me to the brink of madness. Surrendering myself to orgasm my cries were muffled by his lips as he thrusted his tongue deep into my hungry mouth. Not letting up, one of Jesse's hands disappeared between my thighs as he inserted his deft fingers inside me, curving them in such a way that drove me insane. With his other hand reaching around to press on my clit, he applied pressure along my front wall where my g-spot was expertly located and made me cry out something incomprehensible. Still reeling from my release I felt another build up, broke off our kiss for the sake of oxygen and arched my back as my body stiffened. Gripping the sides of the jacuzzi, my legs straightened as I silently came apart in his arms.
"Isn't this nice?" He asked softly, nuzzling my neck as I spasmed all over. It was more of a rhetorical question as words were not needed to describe my actions while my body bucked uncontrollably as his digits pumped my core sending me spiraling into one climax after another; it was so intense I literally became a mute.
After a while it was getting to be too much as I tore his hands away from my center so I could resume normal functioning again. Turning onto my side I kissed him feverishly, sucking and pulling on his tongue, my gratification for the journey into bliss he just guided me through. I loved his taste and wanted to devour him whole, but more importantly I wanted to reciprocate my love for him. Finally breaking off our contact, with the most loving expression I'd seen, Jesse looked into my dazed eyes and flushed face. "I love making you cum."
And so did I...
Raising a finger to agree I was still incapable of speech which made him chuckle as he held me flush to him. After a few more minutes the tremors finally subsided and I was left with the biggest shit eating grin on my face. Our lovemaking was amazing but in times like this where I was rendered speechless was an added bonus.
"F...F...Fuuuck..." I breathed. It was all I could say as I leaned against his front with his erection prodding my rear. After a few more minutes I recovered enough to form actual words. "We need to take care of that." I whispered, rubbing my bum along his length.
Moaning softly Jesse held me in his arms as the jacuzzi jets came to an abrupt stop. "Soon, baby." He responded. "Right now I'm enjoying just being here with you, and besides, my dick isn't going anywhere, not when your hot ass is right there." He joked, making us both laugh.
We sat in silence and savored the moment we were sharing. With the candlelight ambiance and being in his arms after experiencing earth shattering orgasms, it was exactly what the doctor ordered after my confrontation with Mrs. Robinson and experiencing more of Kayla's deception. When the water cooled and we began to prune up like raisins, it was decided we needed to exit the hot tub. After drying each other off we headed for the plush California king where I would get the opportunity to reciprocate.
"My turn." My voice was full of allurement as I pushed him down on his back and crawled over him on all fours. Pressing my lips to his, I tugged on his lower lip making him moan with need. I didn't know what came over me, but at that moment I felt the need to restrain him. "Put your hands above your head." The look on his face was priceless. He appeared confused and unsure of my motive. "I want to try something. Will you trust me?" I asked with trepidation as Jesse saw the love or was it lust in my eyes. Nodding slowly he raised his arms and put his wrists together as I tied them to the headboard with the sash from my bathrobe. Looking over at his nakedness, his arousal was quite obvious as his chest heaved, skin flushed, nipples pebbled and penis was as hard as steel. He was a gorgeous specimen and mine to do as I pleased. Straddling his hips I leaned forward, letting my breasts rub against his chest hair while I lightly brushed my lips over his, teasing him mercilessly. When he tried to return my affections I pulled away and playfully licked at his lips. "Not so fast Swanson, this is my show." And chuckled at his pout.
Given the opportunity to study him I saw adoration and trust which, to my surprise, affected me emotionally. After everything I learned about Jesse tonight I saw my lover in a new light, and with his hands tethered he was vulnerable and willing to give himself over to me. At that very moment it occurred to me how easily I could have dominated Jesse if I wanted to, but my intent was to show him how much he was loved and I wanted to pleasure him the best way I knew how; with my mind, body and soul.
"I love you." I declared quietly, took his head between my hands and poured as much love into a kiss as my fingers pulled lightly on his soft locks. Plunging my tongue into his eager mouth we moaned together as our kiss intensified. "I'm going to make love to you."
Breaking off the kiss I latched onto his neck and sucked with such force he winced as his eyes closed and body shuddered. Kissing and licking my way down his body I spent extra time on his scarred flesh, kissing his wounds that made him grunt and tug on his restraint. "Shh...It's okay, babe. I won't hurt you." With years of avoiding being touched Jesse observed with trepidation as I explored his imperfect skin, running my fingers through his dark chest hair and pads over his raised skin. With a lump in my throat forming I forced back a sob. "So much pain, but I'm going to make you feel so good." My soothing words calmed him as I proceeded to close my lips around a stiff nipple and bite down gently, making him gasp. "It seems I'm not the only one who enjoys this." Giving its twin the same attention my hands followed the path of my lips as I tweaked his hardened nubs between my fingers and thumbs. "Isn't this nice?" I teased, repeating the same words that often fell from his smirking lips.
As I continued my exploration of his body I reached the ultimate goal. With his arousal already apparent I licked along his length, focusing underneath where his main vein was located as I applied the right amount of pressure to set him off. Holding his manhood in my hand I gently sucked on his testes, applying tender kisses to his pride and joy, then relaxed my throat enough to took him in as far as I could go. Always earning an 'A' in this department he appreciated my oral skills as I took my time and slowly deep throated him, applying added pressure with my lips while pumping his base with my nimble hands. Hearing his groans was music to my ears as it made me feel empowered while I feasted on him and drew Jesse closer to ultimate bliss. Breaking off contact I wiped the moisture from around my mouth and took a short break.
"Babe, open your eyes and watch me." I whispered as our eyes locked. Taking a single languid lick along his shaft I gently sucked on his mushroom tip that made his jaw go slack. Taking him in all the way my eyes never left his as I devoured him whole. He watched with amazement as I supported myself on my hands and slowly bobbed my head up and down his length.
"Fuck!" He tossed his head back. "How are you even doing that?" When his groans grew louder I knew it was just a matter of time before he submitted himself to desire.
As I felt his warm seed shoot down my throat Jesse's cries of passion solidified our love as I drank in his nectar, consuming his essence that would always be a part of me.
"Untie me." He ordered, coming down from his climax. Not knowing if I'd gone too far I freed his hands immediately. To my surprise he pulled me flush to him and kissed me hard. "Get on top and ride me."
Who am I to say no...
Seeing the urgency in his eyes I propped myself up on my knees and straddled his waist. With his member still rock hard he handed me a foil packet, and not wasting any time I ripped it open with my teeth and rolled it onto his length.
Hovering over him on all fours I scooted forward, reached behind to line him up with my opening and easily slid him inside. We gasped at the union as we began to move together. Slowly rocking back and forth, my dangling breasts were captured by his hands and one at a time his lips encircled each boob as he sucked while jutted his hips upward to meet my increasing pace.
I was all sensation as he released each tit with a pop then crashed his lips to mine. Our kisses were passionate as we picked up our momentum while the sound of slapping skin filled the room. I was just about there when Jesse sat up and halted our movement. The look in his eyes was unsettling as he seemed to be staring into my soul.
"What is it?" I asked breathlessly, wiping the sweat off his brow. "Did I do something wrong?" The silence was deafening as he continued to gaze at me. "Please say something?"
With a quivering lip he finally spoke. "No baby, quite the opposite." He paused to stroke my cheek. "Nobody has ever made me feel like that before. Nobody. I'm never letting you go." With his arms firmly around me our lips pressed together. "You're mine...forever."
Was this a pre-proposal or just Jesse's way of showing his gratitude for giving him the best blow job of his existence. Watching his walls crumble I knew I had peeled away another layer of the onion; I'd earned his trust.
With our lips sealed he gripped my ass with both hands and pushed deeper into me. Wrapping my arms around his neck I matched his rhythm. We were in perfect synchrony as our bodies molded flawlessly together.
Crying out his name, I bit down on his shoulder and came hard. As I tightened around him, without losing connection he pushed me down onto my back, spread my thighs wide, bent my knees upward and resumed his thrusts into my contracting core. My filter must have gone offline as I shouted out obscenities while my boobs bounced in all directions as I held on to the headboard for dear life.
Practically pulling out all the way Jesse took the time to finger my clit then slowly re-entered me. He repeated this process several times until I was on the threshold of falling apart. "Come for me again baby."
And I did...
Our pace quickened to the point where we were lost in each other where nothing else mattered but the two of us on equal ground, making sweet passionate love.
With sweat dripping off of both us, we couldn't have timed it better as Jesse stilled himself and filled me with his love. As we chased our releases simultaneously our cries were stifled with kisses full of need and desire. We were breathless and panting as our foreheads pressed together while we rode out the aftershocks of our lust filled fault line.
It just didn't get any better than that...
At almost four in the morning we were an intertwined sweaty mess. Satiated and still connected, I was filled to capacity but neither of us was in a hurry to detach from one another, but we knew it couldn't last.
Unwrapping my legs from around him Jesse gently pulled out and disposed of his condom in a nearby wastebasket. Returning to his spot he brought me closer so I was laying on him, listening to the precious beat of his heart.
"I'm very happy to hear that?" I mumbled into his bare chest.
"Hmm? What?"
"That you're never letting me go." Lifting my head off of him so I could see his expression, I bit my lower lip and smiled. "Because you're kind of stuck with me."
Grinning like a couple of idiots we kissed passionately. Covering our bodies with one of the Ritz's famous goose down comforters we drifted off to a peaceful slumber.
The morning after...
"I mean it Gail, leave her alone!"
With the sun rudely shining through the floor to ceiling drapes I woke up to the sound of Jesse's raised voice. Sliding out of bed I found his white dress shirt from the night before draped over a recliner. Securing it around me I wandered into the en suite bathroom, brushed my teeth and removed all remnants of last night's make-up and chose to go au naturale. Brushing out my rats nest hair with the hotel's complimentary beauty supplies, I decided to let it fall naturally onto my shoulders, then tended to other personal needs. As I approached the living room I heard Jesse's voice at a lowered volume while he continued his conversation with her.
"I don't agree with you...not anymore. Love is not just for children. For the first time in my life I want more than that lifestyle. I'm done with it."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It's one thing to give up punishments but here was Jesse giving up the lifestyle to be with me.
Could our vanilla relationship be enough for him? Could I be enough for him?
"You don't know what you're talking about. She knows just about everything and still loves me unconditionally."
Just about everything? There's more?
"My fear of being touched is no longer an issue with her. I trust Beca with my life." He paused to take a deep breath. "I'm in love with her."
With my heart beating out of my chest I was surprised to hear what he was admitting to that woman.
"No...she doesn't know about that. Not yet."
Know what?
Leaning against a wall I accidentally nudged one of the tacky paintings which more than likely alerted Jesse that I was nearby. Deciding I should probably make my presence known, I turned the corner, smiled and waved while Jesse, who was only sporting his dress slacks, motioned for me to join him on the couch and handed me a cup filled with hot fresh coffee. Taking a seat next to him I took a sip of the liquid stimulant and focused on a leather wrapped folder belonging to the Ritz that contained a full menu.
Taking the menu from me, Jesse mouthed that he'd already ordered breakfast. Of course the control freak had taken care of anything related to food, God forbid I should ever miss a meal...
Retrieving my clutch bag I took out my cell phone and noticed several missed calls and text messages from family and friends. With all the press being at last night's shindig it didn't surprise me one bit. Noticing that Chloe had finally gotten in contact with me, I read her messages and decided to text her back while Jesse continued to speak with the bitch.
Chloe: Nice photos. How was last night?
Me: Fun. What photos?
Chloe: Just you two making out in front of Hollywood's elite.
Me: Oh...that.
Chloe: LOL! Love the mask & gown you're almost wearing.
Me: Thanks! It was for a charity at the Swanson's. You would have loved it.
Chloe: Probably. I'll get next one. You made headline news. Pics are all over the Internet.
Me: Swell
Chloe: Paparazzi already have you two married off. Still single?
Me: Don't believe everything you read.
Chloe: I don't, that's why I'm asking.
Me: How's paradise? Knocked up yet?
Chloe: Nope. Still hanging from the rafters with Mr. Wonderful?
Me: Haha! It's not like that. Besides, suspension is a hard limit.
Chloe: OMG! Do I really wanna know?
Me: Probably not. Still coming home on Thursday?
Chloe: No actually. Tom & I are going straight to Copenhagen so I need you to bring my stuff.
Me: Sure...I'll have either Jesse or Benji take me by the condo.
Chloe: Huh? You live there silly.
Me: Not exactly.
Chloe: Oh no! You didn't...
Me: Surprise!
Chloe: Have you lost your mind? I leave you alone for a little while and you end up shacking up with the first guy you fall for.
Me: There's more to it. I'll explain in person.
Chloe: I have the feeling a lot has happened since I've been gone.
Me: That's an understatement.
Chloe: I'm dying to know but I gotta go. I'll email our itinerary. Tom wants more sex and who am I to say no. Laters, baby...
Gross!
Rolling my eyes at my friend's last text I chuckled to myself because here we were, best friends and in love with brothers. It may have been premature to consider this but the possibility was there; we could end up as sisters' in law. Returning my attention to Jesse, I was surprised to hear him ask the old bat about the crazy ex-sub.
"So you're saying you have nothing to do with it? Nothing at all. Has she contacted you?"
Smirking at Jesse I took another sip of his coffee, then heard someone knocking at the door.
"ROOM SERVICE!"
Hopping off the couch Jesse opened his wallet and handed me a hundred dollar bill for tipping while he continued his conversation.
Opening the door a cart full of silver domed plates was wheeled into the formal dining room. After the hotel staff set up our meal large enough to feed a small country, I tipped him and began opening the lids. The pampas ass literally ordered everything off the menu. With my stomach growling I plucked a piece of bacon from one of the platters and devoured it whole. Licking my fingers I let out a small moan that got Jesse's attention.
Damn! I was hungry!
"Well...I guess I have no other choice but to believe you. If you say you're not involved then you're not but if you hear from her..." Jesse's voice trailed off.
Seriously? The guy trusted way too easily I thought as I stuffed a forkful of eggs Benedict into my mouth.
"Alright...I'll talk to you during the week, and I mean it, Gail. Leave her alone!"
Ending his call, Jesse joined me in the dining area where I was literally going to town on the feast before me.
"Hungry much?" His lighthearted tone barely distracted me as I was shoveling more food onto my plate. "Now this is more like it." He praised scooping some scrambled eggs and bacon onto his.
"You're going to make me fat." I mumbled with a mouth full of pancakes. "Guess I'll be needing that trainer after all, or more sex..."
"How about both?" His suggestiveness had me smirking in agreement as he took the seat across from me. "We could work out together and then have sweaty sex right afterwards. Imagine all the calories we'd burn."
Rolling my eyes I sighed at his one track mind but couldn't keep a straight face. "You're such a perv." My insult cracked him up as he chuckled. "Now eat something before you waste away."
"C'mere." He motioned for me to sit on his lap. Getting up from my seat I straddled him and wrapped my arms around his neck. By doing so my shirt rode up and bunched at my hips which Jesse noticed right away and groaned because I wasn't wearing anything underneath. "You're going to kill me woman, you know that?"
"Not before you kill me first." I countered, pressing my lips to his. "So, when is my appointment? Do we have time for a quick shower?"
Squeezing my bare ass I felt Jesse's smile against my lips. "Her flight leaves in a few hours so it could be any time."
Just as I was going to answer, there was a knock at the door.
"Well...that answers my question. I need to get ready and you mister, need to cover up." Unbuttoning his white dress shirt I let the material slide off my shoulders and down my arms. Pulling the garment completely off I was completely naked by the time I got to my feet. As the knocking continued I tossed the shirt to Jesse, strutted across the hotel suite in my birthday suit and swayed my hips from side to side for his benefit while he stared in awe. "Jeez! Put some clothes on, will ya." I joked and disappeared into the bedroom while he cracked up.
Fifteen minutes later...
"And you just stopped taking it?" Dr. Caverly seemed flustered as she questioned my actions. "How long before you stopped taking it did you have unprotected sex?"
Unprotected?
"It was more than a week ago. My last pill was a day before we had sex. We fought afterwards and I stopped taking it. I thought we'd broken up. Why are you asking? What's wrong?"
Sighing deeply my lady doctor ignored my questions and typed more notes into my file. "When was your last period?"
"I...I don't know!" I sounded more defensive than I'd intended and now a sense of dread was washing over me. "It's been a while, I'm not really regular, but you already knew that!"
"Okay...let's calm down. It's probably nothing." The good doctor tried her best to put me at ease but I wasn't buying it. Obviously I fucked up and was now faced with a brand new life altering issue. "Before I can administer the shot I need to rule it out." Taking out a sterilized specimen container from her medical bag she broke the seal and handed it over to me. "You know the drill, when you're done I'll need to take a blood sample."
"Wha...why?" I stammered with fear, already knowing the reason. "We've been using condoms!" I felt like such an irresponsible twit as my subconscious glared at me with full judgement, ready to lock me up for life and throw away the key. Here I was a college graduate with honors and was told I had a good head on my shoulders, so how could I have been so stupid? Holding up the plastic cup I questioned Dr. Caverly's suspicions. "Seriously, why is this necessary?"
"Because, Beca." She paused, looking up from her laptop. "If my suspicions are correct, you may already be pregnant."
Oh fuck!
A/N: Sorry for the delay in posting this update. With life getting in the way, writing had to take a back seat.
Those of you who have read the second book will know if she's preggers or not. Those of you who haven't...well, you'll just have to wait until the next chapter to find out. Please R&R and let me know your thoughts. Thanks again for reading along.
