The past two days had been unreal.In the best possible way.
On Saturday evening, once Jake returned from the beach, we had dinner at the restaurant, then came back to our villa and christened the four-poster bed.
On Sunday, we almost didn’t leave the villa at all.The hotel had helpfully stocked the fridge with essentials, so we’d had breakfast in our garden by the pool, chilled, had more sex, followed by lunch, then more shagging.
I hadn’t realised I was so insatiable, but when you’re with a guy that was as talented as Jake, it was easy to understand why I couldn’t get enough of him.
By late afternoon, we were both exhausted and I could’ve easily just fallen back into bed (to sleep this time), but Jake said he wanted to take me to a place called Echo Park Lake.I’d never heard of it before, but they had these cool swan pedal boats.
He timed it perfectly because we were able to do a sunset ride and the boats were illuminated which made everything extra pretty.And seeing the city lights shimmering across the dark water made it extra special.
Now it was Monday and we were in a chauffeur-driven car the hotel had arranged which was taking us to Venice Beach – a place that I’d heard a lot about, but never visited.I couldn’t wait.
‘Nice nails!’ Jake took my hand, held it up and admired my bright pink shade.‘When did you do them?They weren’t that colour this morning.’
‘How can you be so sure?’ I said, secretly impressed at how perceptive he was.
‘Because,’ he whispered in my ear, and the sensation of his sweet, warm breath tickled my skin, sending shockwaves through me, ‘I would’ve noticed them when you had your hand and lips wrapped around my cock.’
‘Very observant,’ I grinned.
Jake finally let me go down on him and I was surprised at how much I’d enjoyed it.That definitely hadn’t been the case in the past, but as I slid him in and out of my mouth and saw how much pleasure it gave him, it made me feel so good.
I liked the fact that I was driving him wild.That he called my name when he lost control.That I was satisfying him just like he’d done for me so many times.
‘I am.I already have the blueprint of every inch of your body stored here.’ He tapped the side of his head.
‘Oh, really?’ I smiled.
‘Yep.’
My stomach fluttered.I totally believed him.I had become very familiar with his body too.He had a scar on his right shoulder that he said he got when he fell off the bed when he was seven.And there was a small Minnie Mouse tattoo on his back with a series of numbers.
It seemed a bit odd for a muscular rockstar to be inked with a Disney cartoon character and I was curious to know the story behind it.But when I’d asked, he’d stiffened and changed the subject, so I decided it was best not to pry.
‘You’re obsessed!’ I joked, expecting him to roll his eyes.
‘Accurate.’ He grinned, then leant forward and kissed me softly on the lips.‘I can’t even pretend that I’m not.You’re pretty awesome.’
‘Thanks.’ My cheeks heated.I wasn’t used to getting compliments, but Jake had given me so many these past few days I was glad my head still fitted through the door.
The most important thing was that he genuinely seemed to mean them.I saw it in his eyes.Sometimes I caught him looking at me like I’d just casually started walking on water and he wondered how I’d done it.
‘So tell me?When did you create this magic?’ He ran his thumb over my nails.
‘When you were in the shower.’
‘Huh?But how’d you do them so quick and put that pretty little love-heart design on your thumbs?’
‘Practice, I suppose.’ I shrugged my shoulders.‘I always bring my nail kit with me, y’know, with my polishes, tools, UV lamp, rhinestones and other stuff.’
‘I don’t know much about nails, but they look damn good, Halle.Remind me again why you don’t do nails for a living?’
‘It’s…’ I stuttered.‘It just didn’t work out.’
Jake stayed silent, like he was waiting for me to elaborate.
‘I tried doing it for a while, but when people found out who I was dating, they were more interested in asking questions about him and then when we broke up…’
