When I turned around, I saw Jake walking towards us.
Bloody hell.
How did he look even more gorgeous than when I saw him two hours ago?
His tanned skin glowed, his hazel eyes sparkled and his hair was damp and wavy from his shower.
And don’t even get me started on his body.He was wearing a black shirt which had the top few buttons undone, giving me a glorious glimpse of his chest.And the sleeves were rolled up to the elbows.
Jesus.
His forearms had no business looking that good.
My gaze dropped to his black shorts and then zeroed in on his crotch.I couldn’t believe that I’d had him naked on my bed, his enormous cock inches away from being buried inside me, and I’d run away.
I’d done a lot of stupid things in my life, but that was definitely ranking near the top right now.
I wouldn’t be making that mistake again.
‘Hey.’ As he leant down his gorgeous scent surrounded me and when he kissed me on my cheek, shockwaves raced through every part of me.
‘Hi,’ I smiled, fighting the urge to giggle like a teenage girl who’d just been kissed by her crush.
‘You two are adorbs!’ Sammie said.‘The film will start in an hour.In the meantime, there’s burgers and hot dogs being served at the BBQ so help yourself and don’t forget to grab a tray and load up on cocktails, popcorn and snacks for the film.You’re on bed number three.’
‘Cool, thanks,’ Jake said.
‘I’ll leave you two to it!’ Sammie grinned.Once she was out of earshot, Jake turned to me.
‘You good?’ he asked.
‘I’m great, actually.Thanks for earlier.I’m feeling much better.’
‘Glad to hear it.Wanna grab a bite to eat?I’m starving.’

An hour later we were on our daybed with a tray of snacks fit for royalty.The Love Hotel really knew how to pull out the stops.
AsPretty Womanappeared on the screen, everyone cheered, whilst I wondered whether the universe had been listening to my conversation with Vanessa and was trying to send me a message to go for it with Jake.
‘Classic,’ I said.‘Have you seen it?’
‘Yep,’ Jake said.
‘Funnily enough, I was just talking about this film to my best friend,’ I whispered, conscious that I didn’t want to disturb anyone.
‘Yeah?What were you saying?’
‘I was just telling her about…’ I paused.Maybe mentioning what Vanessa had said about me being the female version of Richard Gere, using Jake for my pleasure, wasn’t a good idea.I was sure he’d be cool about it considering he offered to help me get back in the saddle, but I decided against it, ‘just how we’d seen some of the places on the tour the other day,’ I said, which was partly true.
Jake propped himself up on his elbow and looked into my eyes with such intensity he could probably see the cogs in my brain turning.
‘So did you think about what I said earlier, about putting me to use?I could be the male equivalent of Julia Roberts.Although I can’t give you a relationship, at least I could make your investment worth your while.’
That was exactly what Vanessa and I had said.
‘I did think about it.’
