My True Love Gave to Me

  Jacob was strong and sexy as hell. He even tried to teach her some self-defense moves that made them both laugh until tears, because Eden was not light on her feet. But it wasn’t like he was laughing at her. In his eyes, she saw real affection and patience which she didn’t usually get a feel for around the men she dated. It made it easy to make tonight the night she gave into what they were both feeling.

  In the passenger seat was her spend the night bag. So, if the night went where they both wanted it... Eden would not be going home until the weekend was over. She loved how each time she arrived, he would be waiting for her at the front door. She’d pull her little blue Prius alongside his vehicle and he was at the door to help her out.

  “Hey,” Eden said, as she always felt a little breathless and excited around him.

  “Hi, my moon.”

  His voice felt like warm caramel across her skin when he said the term of endearment.

  His full name was Jacob Kosuke Sato and his middle name meant ‘rising sun.’ Knowing that he thought of her as a star in the sky only made her decision much easier. After dinner and helping him clean up the kitchen, it was time for them. He poured them both another glass of wine and Eden instinctively slipped her arms around his waist.

  He turned pulled her into his arms for a hug that lifted her off her feet. Jacob nuzzled her neck. “You don’t know how much I missed you.”

  A husky laugh escaped her. “You saw me yesterday.”

  He pulled away with a smile. “True, but I missed you nonetheless.”

  “I’m glad because I miss you too when we’re apart,” Eden admitted.

  “Then that makes it easy,” Jacob said holding her hand. “Stay the weekend with me, no pressure as there are seven bedrooms you could stay in.”

  “Or, I could stay in yours,” she hinted.

  His eyes darkened. “I like that idea better.”

  She could feel the arousal radiating off him.

  They sat in the sunken living room watching TV. “I was completely afraid to date you,” Eden admitted suddenly. “The cultural differences, especially with me being African American.”

  “I was born and raised here, while my mother would love for me to follow the usual Japanese tradition. I do my own thing to a point,” Jacob answered. “I have to go to Japan to set up our overseas offices in a month or two.”

  Disappointment filled her. “How long will you be gone?”

  “It will take about a year to set up, but in that time, you can come to Japan and I will be coming home as well,” Jacob replied.

  “I thought that meant there was a shelf life on our relationship,” Eden said.

  He cupped her cheek, and his voice was husky. “Never that.”

  Their lips met in a kiss and Eden closed her eyes falling into the bliss of his lips against hers. It built in heat until a low groan seemed to rumble through him and he pulled her closer as he lay back on the wide soft brown sofa. Her body against his, made Eden tremble. Jacob’s hands roamed her body greedily and Eden could feel the hardness of his erection through her clothes. He made her want and to show her need, she undulated her hips against him until he groaned and pulled away.

  “I had this whole thing planned, great dinner, cuddling on the sofa while we watched some movie with everything blowing up.” Jacob’s voice was hoarse with desire.

  “So, any Jerry Bruckheimer film?” Eden teased and nipped at his bottom lip.

  “Exactly.” He chuckled. “But if you keep moving against me like that, I’m going to forget to tempt you with tomorrow’s dinner as a bribe to stay.”

  “What is your dinner plan?” Eden kissed her way down his neck.

  “Beef tips and asparagus tossed with linguini pasta...” he groaned when she kept up her teasing of the sensitive skin of his neck. “Capers are in there... somewhere.”

  “Capers you say, that’s my safe word,” Eden teased and moved to get off him.

  “Get back here.” Jacob pulled her back against him and kissed her until her laughter became whimpers of need.

  “Wanna see my bedroom?” Jacob answered.

  “I’ve seen it in the tour, now I want to be naked in your bed,” Eden said brazenly.

  “God, yes.”

  Eden didn’t know how strong he was until he lifted her and him directly off the sofa and then set her on her feet. Hand in hand, they walked up the stairs and turned left to the master suite. She had seen it before decorated in reds and teal colors, along with the tapestries that depicted his heritage. Red blossoms on trees branches over a mountain scape.

  The colors matched with his décor and she saw other items that were beautiful additions to his sanctuary and to honor his heritage. She knew this was important to him, as he’d managed to fuse the American and Japanese culture throughout the house. Right now, her focus was on the bed that was neatly made and the soft lighting that enhanced the rich brown coverlet with gold trimmings.

  Jacob pulled her into his arms and in the midst of their heated kiss, he muttered against her lips, “I was taking it slow but man, it was killing me not to strip you naked and make love to you over and over again.”

  “By all means, let’s to do that,” Eden gasped while he rained kisses down her neck and suckled the sensitive skin at her neck.

  His hands cupped her full breasts through the cotton shirt dress she wore before he flicked the belt off from her waist easily. “God, you’re so beautiful,” he groaned. He moved his hands to the button-down shirt dress she wore and worked at the buttons with nimble fingers. While he slipped the fabric from her shoulders, he kissed her languidly, stoking the fire. Jacob slipped his hand between her skin and the cotton of her panties.

  Eden gasped when he found her clit between the soft lips of her sex and gently grazed the sensitive nub. She trembled against him and spread her legs wider to give Jacob more access to her sex. Taking it slow? Well, that went out the window, because the fire burned hot within her making her ache. The kisses they shared became hot and wild. She heard the soft whimpers she made against his mouth and it only seemed to fuel his need.

  Jacob stopped long enough to push her panties down her legs and when he touched her again, Eden writhed against his hand. She stroked his cock through the fabric of his pants and felt his engorged length straining against the fabric.

  She worked at his belt, unbuckling it with an urgency just to touch him. “Can I touch you? Wrap my fingers around your cock and feel the velvet over steel,” she said breathless.

  “Yes baby, do it.” His voice was harsh with desire. At her touch, Jacob fisted his hand in her thick hair and devastated her mouth with his kiss. His hips jerked and he thrust against her hand while she stroked him. The kiss didn’t stop, while he worked his pants and boxer briefs down his corded legs, he slipped his tongue past her teeth. He penetrated her mouth, a promise of the pleasure to come and Eden was ready for all of it.

  He moved long enough to whip his shirt off and bring her back against is chest. With a deft move, Eden had her bra off and her breasts pressing against him. Jacob made her want, and the need was so palpable she ached.

  Their lips were inches apart when he pinned her with his gaze. “I want to fuck you right now.”

  Eden licked her lips. “Yes.” One simple word and she knew it would be a night she’d never forget. “Should we go to the bed?” she asked.

  “Not quite yet.”

  The dark wicked look in his eyes made Eden’s breath catch. It seemed that she had awakened something in him and that was enticing has hell. He wanted her and only her.

  To Eden that was as heady as any drug. She trembled in anticipation when Jacob teased between the slit of her sex with deft fingers once again. While she stood there, her eyes became heavy with desire at his touch.

  Jacob never stopped watching her face. “I love how you melt, I can’t wait to taste you,” his whisper was harsh against her ear.

  “Put me down for that,” she gasped.

  While he plundered he
r mouth, Jacob’s large hands cupped her breasts and teased her nipples until they were puckered tight.

  Eden buried her hand in his hair, holding him to her. She bit her lip, trying to smother her cry from the pleasure that speared through her core.

  “I want to hear you moan for me,” he said roughly. “You fucking make me want to lick every inch of your soft skin, then bury myself so damn deep inside you.”

  Eden gasped at his words before pleading, “I want to feel everything.”

  He played with her breasts, once more laving one nipple and then the other while her knees felt weak.

  The carnal sounds Jacob made, primal and filled with a gut-wrenching need went straight to her core. Her hands roamed over his back and muscular shoulders, hoping that it would entice him to take her to the bed and fulfill the gratification she needed. “Jacob, I’ve never felt like this before.” Eden nipped at his shoulder.

  “Oh, I’m not done,” Jacob murmured as he walked her back to the wall.

  She felt the cool surface at her back as his lips were kissing all the way down her body. Jacob came to the apex of her thighs touching until she was anticipating his next move breathlessly. “You’re...making me... crazy,” she begged.

  With gruff hand, he pushed her legs apart and titled her hips towards him before placing a kiss on the mound of her sex. Jacob probed between the delicate lips and sweet flesh with his tongue.

  Eden felt her knees gave way and buckle under the onslaught.

  “Be a very good girl, you can’t move until you come for me,” Jacob’s words were a soft demand.

  “Please, please,” she whispered. Eden had never been taken like this, demands made of her body that made her bite her lips. She liked it, dear god, she loved it and waited in breathless anticipation.

  He took, he sampled and teased, driving her higher and higher until with every breath, a whimper escaped. Eden used his shoulders as an anchor and when Jacob sucked on the bud of her clit, her body turned to wax.

  Wasn’t that enough? The thought rushed through her mind but there was more that Jacob sought. Eden felt his fingers slip inside her, along with his lips and she cried out his name.

  A guttural grunt came from between her legs, as Jacob was sitting now, to get more of a taste of her, arching her fully over his mouth.

  The combination of his digits and lips drew the bow tighter within her. “I’m going to come,” her words sounded like a wail to her own ears. The constant pressure of his fingers sliding in and out of her pussy combined with his tongue on her clit sent Eden over the edge. A scream escaped her and she felt the slick sexual fluid leak from her core. The primal sounds of approval he made at her release filled her ears. Feeling brazen, when he got up, she pushed him against the wall and pressed hot kisses on his chest. On her knees, she took his cock in her hand and licked the smooth tip. She watched Jacob arch towards her mouth and proceeded to take him length deep in her mouth.

  “Ah...fucking hell,” he said through gritted teeth and his hands were fisted at his sides as he strove for control.

  She licked and used her mouth to please him until the pleasurable agonized groans escaped him. It thrilled Eden knowing she could make him feel this way and drive him as crazy as he’d made her.

  He pulled her up quickly and kissed her with such hunger Eden was consumed by the heat.

  “I’m going to take you,” he said simply.

  Eden moved to the bed eagerly and Jacob bent her over the footboard. Pulling her hips back against him and kicking her legs apart with his own, Eden felt him run his finger up and down her slit until she trembled. The sense of satisfaction that filled her when Jacob finally sank his cock deep inside her couldn’t be explained in words.

  His groan mingled with the cry that left her lips as he withdrew only to thrust slowly within her once more. “Eden,” he said her name reverently. With his hand on her hips, he pounded into her with a slow rhythm that caused heat to cascade over her body.

  Her pussy clenched around him and she heard a harsh Fuck, escape Jacobs’s lips. The pace increased with neither of them willing to take it slow anymore. Jacob drove into her, taking them both higher to the peak of pure ecstasy. Every nerve ending in her body was alive, as she’d never been sent this high in sexual pleasure in her life. It consumed her while he took her hard, their bodies slapping together making an erotic playlist to their erotic acts.

  “Jacob, I can’t hold back,” she gasped. “I can’t!”

  “Ah shit yes.” Jacob pumped into her body, deeper and harder with every thrust. He was pushing them toward a blinding orgasm. He made claim to her body and she felt this connection, that she’d never felt before in her life. He laced his fingers with hers on the footboard. To Eden that connection was just an intimate as the connection of their bodies. She whispered his name as her orgasm took hold and her pussy clenched around his cock.

  Jacob whispered something she couldn’t understand but it sounded almost like a poem or prayer. His release rolled through him with deep shudders as his thrusts sent his hot seed deep into her wet depths. More than few minutes went by before they could even move and then it was him cherishing her body as they got cleaned up in the bathroom.

  Back in his bed, Jacob said her name gently before kissing her with infinite sweetness like she was the most cherished person in his life. After reaching the summit and falling back to earth languidly, now he pulled her close, protectively.

  Eden felt safe in his arms. No words needed to be said, she snuggled against him while he covered them both with the thick down comforter in the cool air-conditioned room. She felt complete in Jacob’s arms. For the first time in a long time, Eden had hope about actually having a future with someone.

  * * * *

  The weekend locked away from the world with Eden was just what Jacob needed. The stress of his job and taking it international, along with family commitments had been taking its toll and he felt himself starting to fray at the edges. Jordan practically pushing him to go out that night to the Peridot was the luckiest thing that ever happened to him. He had been dead-set on staying home with a cold beer in peace and quiet.

  Instead, he met Eden and his life felt fuller than it had in a long time. Jacob kept his personal life personal, even from his friends most of the time. But being with Eden made him want to share his happiness with someone. Monday morning came much too soon after a weekend of perfection. They had breakfast in bed, played outside in his pool in bathing suits and in the nude. Jacob was pretty sure they’d made love in every room in his house.

  “I don’t want to go back to the doldrums of my life,” Eden moaned as they walked to the front door with an arm wrapped around each other’s waist.

  “Once we open the door, this wonderful bubble pops and the world filters in,” he answered.

  “Don’t open the door,” she said with a smile.

  Jacob sucked in a breath as for some reason. his heart just fell fuller looking at her.

  She then laughed. “Fine open it, I need to go to work.”

  When the heavy door swung open, he certainly didn’t expect to see his mother standing there. If there was anyone who could pop the bubble, it would be her and she was a very big pin.

  Ichika Sato was formidable even with a petite body in a business suit. Her hair was pulled back into a tight bun while over her forearm was her green and gold purse that of course, matched her clothes. Her eyes widened in surprise then narrowed as she looked from her son to Eden. “Ko?” She used his nickname with an accent that was filled with of course...disapproval.

  “Mother.” Jacob inclined his head. “Why are you here?”

  “You did not answer your phone for the last few days,” she replied. “I came to make sure you weren’t dead.”

  “As you can see, I am very much alive.” His voice was cool.

  Eden looked from him to his mother curiously and with worry on her face.

  Jacob sighed, as he knew Eden was confused by this stiff conversatio
n.

  “Care to introduce me to your...friend?” his mother said.

  “Eden, this is my mother, Ichika Sato, mother this is Eden,” Jacob said. “And she is leaving for work.”

  “Really? What do you do, Eden?”

  His mother’s voice was sweet, but he knew her well enough to know that was far from the disposition she was feeling.

  “I’m a paralegal and I am in law school,” Eden said with a smile, she held out her hand. “It is very nice to meet you, Mrs. Sato.”

  The hand was not taken in return.

  Eden looked uncomfortable as she smoothed her hands down her slacks. “I guess I will see you later, Jacob.”

  Jacob bent his head to kiss her softly before saying in a firm voice, “Yes, you will.” He watched her get into her little blue car and drive away before turning to go back inside, knowing his mother would follow without invitation.

  The heels of her shoes clicked on the granite tiles of his wide foyer as she followed him into the kitchen. “Really Ko?” she said, as disdain dripped from her words.

  “What mother?” He started his Keurig and put one of the coffee pods into the stainless-steel coffee maker.

  “I’ve been calling you and you avoid your mother for a woman?” She placed her bag on the counter. “And a—”

  “What?” He whirled on her, feeling anger rise in his chest.

  “She is not of our culture, African American no less,” she made a tsking sound. “Why do this, when you know your role in this family?”

  “You presume, mother,” Jacob said coolly, mixing his morning caffeine fix. “Dad was the patriarch of this family and now he’s gone. I will not fall into the role to take care of you or my siblings. We were all given equal shares of his estate to do with as we please. Nothing was stated that I must become a head of household and make decisions for you or anyone else. You are the only one holding on to this notion.”
