He interlaced his fingers with hers and raised her hands over her head before he pinned them against the wall.
“Jake please,” Serena begged in a low whisper.
“All you have to do is say those magic words and I will stop,” he whispered as he lowered his head to meet her lips in a soft kiss again. She exhaled into his mouth and angled her head so that his tongue could go wherever it wanted. She was moaning softly as she let her tongue seek his out, gently caressing the inside of his mouth with her small tongue. He pulled away from her briefly and looked down at her body before he let his hand slowly go down one side of her body. He couldn’t help but notice how much she was avoiding his line of sight. Her eyes were either closed or fixated on the floor.
“Look at me, Serena.” It was more of a command than a request. She slowly raised her brown glossy eyes to look at him. “There she is,” he whispered, a smile on his lips.
“I was always here,” she said in a low voice. “I’ve always been here.”
He slowly disentangled his fingers from her, releasing the one hand. She was still looking into his eyes when she slid her arms around his neck as his mouth opened greedily over hers. She pulled herself closer to him as he slipped an arm around her waist. His hand found her feminine arch at her back and then the soft plump flare that was her ass. He slowly dipped his tongue into her mouth and tasted the smoky steak she’d had for dinner before he felt her shy tongue softly caressing his.
The emotions of the last two weeks, the frustration, and the cold atmosphere between them…it all melted away in the white-hot passion they created as they kissed. She had gone from the strangely careful woman to the giving woman who had her lips pressed against his own, grasping at fistfuls of his hair. He was the one pinning her against the wall but he somehow felt like she was the one in control…mostly because she was. By the time he pulled away, they were panting. She still had her eyes closed as he looked down at her.
“You are still so beautiful,” he said in a whisper as he leaned his forehead against hers.
He could tell that he wanted to speak but she just couldn’t. She was just breathing really heavily. He pulled away to look at her but she used the hand she had around his neck as leverage and pulled him back down to her lips. He pulled her away from the wall and backed her up against the couch in his office. She looked up at him when she fell back on the chair. He climbed on the couch and hiked her skirt upwards to expose her bare thighs to himself. He ran his hands on her thighs and nestled his swelling heat against hers. He roughly pulled her blouse up, untucking it as he went on. He slipped a hand underneath and gently caressed her breast over her bra. He could feel the tips of her full mounds pressing hard against his hand. It took everything he had not to rip her clothes off and just have his way with her. It had been so long since she felt this strongly about a woman he was about to be intimate with. She looked into his eyes and raised her arms over her head allowing him to pull her top off. She was still looking at him as she undid the front clasp of her bra and pulled it away.
“Oh shit,” he muttered when he saw her bare breasts. They were bigger than they were the last time he saw them. And he expected it too but he didn’t think he was going to be this aroused when he saw her naked body. He held one of her breasts in his hand making her gasp silently as he pulled her panties to one side with the other.
“So wet. So perfect,” Jake said in a low voice as he ran his finger up and down her slit. She let out a hum of pleasure when he gently pushed his finger into her wetness. Soon enough, he had her arching her back and moaning for more as he fingered her, nice and slow at first and then faster and deeper as he went on. He peeled his hand away from her breast and quickly undid his pants zipper and pushed them down before he pulled his finger away from her. He then settled in between her legs.
“Don’t tease me,” she whispered when he began rubbing her entry with the head of his cock.
“Someone got bold,” he thought as he began pushing himself forward, filling her every fold. She closed her eyes and threw her head back as his length stretched her out. He pulled away and pushed back into her again making a soft moan escape her lips again. He claimed her lips once more as she wrapped her leg around his waist pulling him deeper into her. He was careful as he worked his length in and out of her but the tightness of her depths was enough to drive him wild. Even though he was taking her slow, fucking her in long slow strokes, he would have wanted to sink himself balls deep inside her and just slam his hips against hers over and over again. And judging by the way she was using her leg to pull him she wanted him to go faster. And he did. He was now going harder and faster into her, so much that the only sound in the room apart from their breathing was the slushy sound her drenched pussy made when he pushed himself into her. It didn’t take long before she suddenly cried out, her insides pulsating against his cock. Her wild orgasm was all he needed to trigger his own climax. She pulled him down and kissed him as he slammed himself over and over against her, powering through their wild orgasm.
“Oh fuck…I missed that,” Serena said when he finally collapsed on her.
“You and me both,” he said in an exhausted whisper.
He was now lying on top of her, his cock still deep inside her pulsating pussy. He had been reduced to a mass of quavering flesh and she was slowly caressing the back of his neck.
“Do you have any idea what you do to me?” he asked in a soft voice.
“What?” she asked. He pulled away from her and looked down into her eyes.
“I love you, that’s what,” he said, still whispering. She gently caressed his cheek and shrugged lightly.
“You do?” she asked and he nodded.
“I never stopped, Serena,” he said as she brought a hand up to hold a lock of his hair. “I never stopped.”
Chapter 5
Serena
“Rubbers, woman! Why didn’t you even consider the fact that he wasn’t wearing a rubber?” Serena scolded herself as she leaned over the office bathroom sink. She had been feeling nauseated all morning thanks to the morning after pill she had taken after her evening with Jake the previous night on his office couch. She splashed her face with water and then grabbed a few paper towels before she patted herself dry. “You look horrible,” she thought as she looked at her reflection. Her hair was all curly around the edges thanks to the water she had been splashing on her face. She opened her makeup bag that she had placed on the counter and pulled out a hairbrush. She then brushed her hair back and held it in a loose bun securing it with a couple of bobby pins on either side.
“Not what I had in mind when I put on this dress in the morning,” she thought as she looked at herself in the mirror. The outfit she had on, a sleeveless navy blue knee length pencil dress, had always looked better with her hair down, and straightened of course. “Well this will have to work for the rest of the day because I am done holding my hair back every time I feel like I am going to puke.” She put her hairbrush back into her makeup bag before she walked back to her desk. Her now cold coffee was still sitting on her desk, untouched. Instead of coffee, she had been downing bottles of cold vitamin water all morning and she was now on her third one. Everything was fine except for the fact that she had to take bathroom breaks every ten minutes. She had just sat down when Jake called her into his office. She grabbed her pen and notepad and made her way into his office.
“Hey,” he said looking up as she walked towards his desk.
“Hey, what do you need?” she asked.
“Why don’t you sit down?” Jake said gesturing at the chairs in front of his desk.
“What’s up?” she asked.
“You tell me.”
She raised an eyebrow over the other.
“Huh?” she asked.
“Well, I have been watching you today and you look uneasy. Really uneasy plus you are drinking flavored water like there is no tomorrow.” He looked at her and shook his head. “You know I wouldn’t have minded if you took the
day off, right?”
“I’m fine. I don’t need the day off,” Serena said shrugging.
“Really?” he asked, a hint of cynicism in his voice.
“Yes really,” she said as she put her notepad and pen on his desk.
“I know this is all my fault and I am sorry,” he started and she shook her head.
“What the hell are you talking about?” she asked. Jake smiled.
“Last night?”
She shook her head again.
“What about last night?” she asked as if she had absolutely no idea what he was talking about.
“You are really going to make me say it?” Jake asked as he looked at her. “I made love to you without protection and you had to take one of those emergency pills.”
Serena held the back of her neck to hide the fact that she was blushing.
“You don’t know that,” she said.
“I’m a doctor, Serena. You’re either suffering from the effects of the pill or you are pregnant and as much as I believe in my guys, I don’t think it is scientifically possible for them to work that fast.” He raised an eyebrow over the other. “I may be a cardio geek but I still know a thing or two about how the female body and how it works.”
“I’m fine,” she said.
Jake reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of Tic-Tacs and a stick of gum.
“Are you trying to tell me my breath stinks or something?” she asked and he shook his head.
“No, the mint helps with the nausea. But that will just be for a few more hours,” he said as she took the gum and breath mints from him. “But if you feel like you need to take the day, just do it. Take the day. I’ll drive by to check up on you later.”
Serena smiled.
“But you don’t know where I live,” she said and he shrugged.
“That’s what HR is for plus I already made friends with the pretty lady there,” Jake said boastfully. Serena stood up and looked at him.
“Should I be jealous?” she asked, feigning seriousness. He stood up and walked over to where she was.
“Please. That would be so hot,” he said before he grabbed a feel of her ass and she pulled away.
“Boundaries, remember?” she asked as she began walking towards the door.
“You wouldn’t let me forget,” he said before he opened the door for her.
“Well, you got that right doctor,” she said and he smiled.
“Call me doctor one more time and I will bend you over the damn desk,” he threatened in a low voice.
“Right now? Right here?” she asked. “In broad daylight?” He nodded.
“Yeah. Right here, right now in broad fucking daylight.”
“Good to know, doctor,” she said in a whisper.
“Oh fuck!” Jake suddenly said under his breath. And by the way he said it, she could tell that it was not the kind of sexy cursing he would do just moments before he carried out his threat.
“Okay. That is definitely not what I was expecting,” she said in a low voice.
“No, it’s not that,” Jake said as he ran his fingers through his hair. “It’s Michelle.”
Serena frowned.
“Who?” she asked and he gestured at the curly blonde haired woman that was walking towards them. “Who’s that?” she asked.
“My ex-wife,” Jake said and for a minute, Serena felt threatened. She almost said what she was thinking out loud and what she was thinking at that moment was “You were married to that?”
“Dr. Alexander,” Michelle said flashing Jake an insincere smile.
“What are you doing here, Michelle?” he asked as he looked at her. All Serena could concentrate on was her outfit, an incredibly short white dress and a pair of green unbelievably high stiletto heels.
“Well, someone isn’t picking my calls so I figured I will have to come all the way to California,” Michelle said. “We need to talk,” she added before she turned to look at Serena. “Sorry, my ex-husband can be a bit terrible when it comes to people skills. Michelle Porter.”
“Serena Foster.”
Michelle raised an eyebrow and her gaze shifted from Serena to Jake.
“Wait…what are the odds…is she that Serena?” she asked as she looked at Jake.
“I’m right here,” Serena thought as she looked at Michelle.
“Wow, so I finally get to meet the woman who ended my marriage before it even began,” Michelle said, her voice full of sarcasm.
“Watch it, Michelle,” Jake warned.
“So you finally found her, huh?” Michelle asked before she looked at Serena again. “You know you ruined him for the rest of us, right?”
This time Serena couldn’t help it.
“Well, you know what they say. Once you go black,” she said, a smile on her lips.
“What the hell do you want here?” Jake asked as he looked at Michelle.
“We still have one pending piece of business and since you won’t answer my calls, I need to know what you decided about the townhouse in Seattle,” Michelle said.
“I won’t be long,” Jake said in a whisper as Michelle walked into his office.
“It’s okay, Dr. Alexander,” Serena said smiling before she walked back to her desk.
She popped a breath mint into her mouth and sighed. She could not help but wonder what had brought her all the way down to California.
Jake
“Why the hell are you here?” Jake asked as he walked over to his chair. “And how the hell did you even know where I worked?” He looked at her and shook his head.
“I knew that you came out here to work for a practice called Calabasas Wellness Center and the rest I left it to Google Maps.” She crossed one leg over the other. “She is quite curvy. I now understand why it didn’t work out with us.”
‘It didn’t work out because you decided to kill our child and fuck my boss,” Jake said calmly.
“Well, all you did was work and if you couldn’t be there for little old me, how were you going to make time when there were the three of us, huh?” Michelle asked. “I did you a favor and you know it.”
Jake exhaled loudly and made a fist under the table, so tight that his knuckles hurt.
“I know for a fact that you are not here to talk about us because there is no us anymore,” he said and she nodded. She reached into her big purse and pulled out an envelope. “What is this?” he asked as he pulled out the papers from the envelope.
“We co-signed the town house and I cannot sell it without your go ahead. So I need this finalized yesterday,” she said.
He flipped through the pages and then reached for a pen.
“You could have sent your lawyer to deliver these,” he said as he quickly signed his name on the bottom of the pages.
“Are you not going to read the documents?” she asked.
“Well, the documents are pretty clear. And I was fine with getting thirty per cent of whatever you sell it for,” he said.
“So you are not even going to contest it?” she asked and he shook his head as he handed her the envelope.
“I think the time for contesting everything is over. I mean, I have already seen as much of you as I want anyway.”
“Easy there, tiger,” Michelle said before she put the envelope in her bag. Are we still bitter about everything?”
“You got your signature, Michelle. So just leave already,” he said, getting increasingly uneasy. She looked at him for a long minute before she stood up.
“You know, now that look makes sense.” He shrugged.
“What look?” he asked.
“That puppy dog look you always had,” she started as she slowly made her way to the door. “Most people thought it was because I had you eating out of the palm of my hand but I always knew that there was more to it. And now that I met her, it all makes sense.” She turned around and looked at him. “It was her. It was always her.”
“And it will always be her,” Jake said.
Michelle smiled and
shrugged.
“Good for you, I guess,” she said before she walked out of his office.
Jake took a long deep breath and exhaled loudly.
“Fuck this shit,” he said silently as he leaned against the headrest of his chair. Michelle had always been a handful but seeing her again had brought up a whole new level of resentment he didn’t know he still had after being divorced for more than a year now. He was still leaning back with his eyes closed when Serena walked in.
“Are you okay?” she asked and he looked at her, forcing a smile.
“I’m fine,” he said. “Are you alright?”
“Yeah the breath mints are helping,” she said as she walked into his office.
“That is not what I mean and you know it,” he said.
“It would take a whole lot more than just a dirty look from your ex to have me rattled. You know that.”
“Well, she did leave a whole bitchy stench so there’s that,” Jake said and she smiled.
“You really didn’t leave things cordial between the two of you, did you?” she asked as she sat down in the chair. He shook his head.
“There is something I haven’t told you about the divorce,” he said. She leaned in.
“What?” she asked.
“Michelle also cheated on me. With my boss,” Jake admitted and Serena leaned back, surprised.
“You guys were quite busy in the short time you were married,” she said and he nodded.
“Yeah, some more than others.”
“Well, technically, it is just one of you who was busier.” She unwrapped a stick of gum and put in her mouth before she shook her head.
“I’m just glad everything is over,” he said. “And she is out of my life.” He looked into her eyes and smiled. “Out of our lives.”
“Our lives?” she asked. “Us?” He nodded.
“Us. Now that I’ve found you I am not going to let you go so easily,” he said. “Hell, I am never letting you go.”
Chapter 5
Serena
“So let me get this straight,” Christina, Serena’s best friend said as she sat across the couch from Serena. “The guy you have been mooning over since God knows when is your stepbrother?” she asked.
