He took his eyes off her to greet Clay’s wife, Fran, and when he kissed her, he heard a loud commotion in Gia’s direction. He brought his eyes back to her and saw her standing on the rail of her barstool, leaning over the bar and wrestling the bartender for something. They, along with her friends, were laughing.
He got the attention of the bartender who serviced his side of the bar, and ordered a Long Island Ice Tea. The bartender gave him a long face, but when Jake said he was buying it for someone and pointed to Gia, the bartender smiled. “Oh, for Gia? Sure. It’s her favorite drink.”
Jake looked Gia’s way again and saw her jump off the stool, and back up, laughing hysterically. Heat shot up from his groin as he watched her lean, sexy body move.
His bartender placed down the Long Island Iced Tea on the bar in front of Gia’s seat just as the bartender she was wrestling with squirted her arm with his drink gun.
She let out a high pitched scream and giggled, then she noticed the other bartender placing the drink on the bar in front of her chair. She tilted her head to the side and furrowed her brows in question. The bartender pointed to the other side of the bar.
Gia looked to where, Arnie, the bartender was pointing, but all she saw was a couple who looked to be in deep conversation. She looked back to Arnie, who scanned the room, and with a head nod, motioned to her other side just as the bartender she playfully wrestled with flung her a towel.
She dried her arm off as she turned. She scanned quickly and missed him the first time. Then she scanned slowly, and did a double take. There was Jake, leaning up against the far wall, underneath a stuffed ten point deer head. A black cowboy hat on his head, feet crossed at the ankle, one hand was in his jeans pocket, the other held a bottle of beer. He raised the beer to her and took a drink.
She threw the towel on the bar and started to slowly walk his way, expressionless, but when she grew nearer, her lips parted and raised, and Jake became mesmerized by her radiant smile.
He noticed she began to move faster and when she got in front of him, he put out his arms and she walked into his embrace and they kissed like their life depended on it.
“Do you and the bartender have a thing?” he asked her after they broke the kiss.
“No.”
“Oh, because he hasn’t taken his eyes off of you.”
“I know he likes me, but it’s not mutual.”
“Good.” He looked from the bartender back to her. “Do you want to get out of here?”
“Yes,” she didn’t hesitate to say.
Jake’s heart soared. “I have to say goodbye to some friends at the other end of the bar.”
“Ok. Oh, but I have a dart tourney to win in a few minutes.”
“Hey, Jake. How’s it going, man?”
Jake looked up to see Allen behind Gia. “Allen, hi. It’s good, man.” He said as he shook Allen’s extended hand.
“Come on, come over and let me buy you a drink. Gia, the game’s starting.”
Jake looked from him and then to Gia, who was nodding her head and smiling. “Sure, man. Thanks.” He waited this long, what’s a few more minutes.
They all walked to the side of the room where a dart board was set up and a pool table was in use.
Jake even brought his friend, Clay and his wife into the loop and all of them talked and drank.
“Woohoo! You owe me a free beer, Rick,” Gia shouted across the room, to the bartender as she jumped up and down. She had hit the bull’s eye and it was a standard rule in the Hog’s Head.
Jake had a big ass grin on his face, getting a kick out of her enthusiasm. He also knew she was feeling those Long Island Iced Teas she was drinking.
Rick had Arnie cover his side of the bar for a few minutes. He walked over to Gia with a long neck in his hand.
Jake watched as Rick bowed to her and presented her the beer. Her friends and some others in the bar clapped. Also standard stuff at that bar.
Rick sat down in the big cushiony chair and grabbed Gia’s arm, bringing her down. She lost her balance and fell into his lap.
She quickly recovered and rose up to sit on the arm of the chair as she peeked at Jake who was tight-lipped.
With his head, Jake motioned for her to come to him. He was relieved when she didn’t hesitate. It made him smile.
“Congratulations on your bull’s eye, darl-”
“Seriously, Gia, you couldn’t get your own boyfriend. You had to steal mine?”
Gia turned around as Jake looked up.
There was Randi. She must have just gotten there. Her face was red, her lips were tight and her eyes were wide and wild. Her hands were on her hips and she was leaning forward.
“Randi, it’s not like that.” Gia began.
“Oh, please. Save it. You could have him. He’s not a very good lay anyway,” she said loud enough for all around them to hear.
“Randi?”
“No, Gia. You’re a little whore, prancing around in-”
Jake got in real close to Randi. “Hey. That’s enough. You can talk about me all you want, but don’t you dare talk about Gia. We’re going to have problems if you do. And for the record, I was never your boyfriend.” He moved back.
Randi was taken aback at Jake’s threatening tone. She stared at them a moment longer, then huffed and turned, and walked to the bar.
Gia was stunned that he defended her, and a bit satisfied, too. She gave Jake an approving smile, then put up a finger and then went to Randi to try to smooth things over.
“Randi, I saw him first.” It came out childishly, she knew, but she couldn’t think of anything else to say.
“I introduced you two at the river.” Randi spat out.
Gia sighed. “No, I mean, yes you did, but I met him when I was in Vegas a few months ago.”
“I knew there was something going on at the river. Tell me, did you get a kick out of making a fool of me?”
“What? No. I didn’t make a fool out of-”
“Save it. I’m not interested.” Randi spat out.
“I’m sorry, Randi. I really am, but I want to continue to see Jake. I hope you could understand and I hope we can still be friends.
Randi looked long and hard at Gia. “Whatever,” she said, then turned away.
Gia stood a moment longer, watching Randi’s back, and then she walked over to Jake.
“You ready to go?” she asked him.
“Yeah.”
They said their goodbyes and walked out to the parking lot.
“Where are you staying, I’ll follow you over there.”
“I’m a block away at the W.” She swayed as she hiccupped. “I walked here.” She brought a hand up to her forehead and winced. The fresh air just brought out her buzz.
Jake chuckled. “Come on, Let’s get you to bed.”
“Ooohhhhh, hic.” She giggled. “And, Randi got it wrong, by the way.”
“What?” he asked her.
“You’re a fantastic lay, hic.”
Jake grinned and shook his head as he walked her over to his truck. He didn’t want to leave the truck parked in the lot of the bar, not knowing if he was going to be spending the night with her. Better to keep it in the hotel parking lot.
Chapter 11
How did it happen? Jake was finally alone and in bed with Gia, only she was under the covers with just her bra and panties on. Undressing her and covering her was the hardest thing he’d ever had to do. Well, there must have been harder things, but at that moment, he thought that anyway.
He had ogled her black lace bra and matching V shaped panties.
He licked his lips and his mouth watered for a taste as he was reaching behind her to unsnap her bra. He paused. Damn, he really wanted to remove it, but the gentleman in him stopped him. He didn’t want her to feel vulnerable. He wasn’t even sure how she was going to react to her being in just her bra and panties when she woke up so he just tucked her in.
He removed his shirt, boots and jeans, and he lay down on top of
the covers. He watched her sleep, and he had a smile on his face. He also thought of their time together and he grew hard.
He yawned and scrubbed his face with his hand. He reached to shut the lamp and finally fell asleep.
Sometime in the wee hours of the morning, he felt Gia stir. He opened his eyes to see her staring at him.
She smiled when he opened his eyes.
“Hey,” he said with a sexy smile that reached his intense deep blue eyes.
“Hi.” She paused. “You were here all night?”
Jake stretched. “What time is it?”
“Four-forty five.”
“Yeah, I was. How’re you feeling?”
“Okay, I thought I’d have a headache when I woke up, but I seem to be okay. I’m sorry, getting drunk is not my MO.”
“No need to apologize, it happens to all of us. Those drinks have a lot of liquor in them.”
“Yes, but they are all clear, which is probably why I don’t feel too bad now.”
She moved her eyes over his body, and brought a hand up to his chest and marveled at the warm, smooth as steel, flesh. Her hand traveled up to a small brown, now erect nipple and gently rolled it in her fingers.
Jake sucked in a breath at the wonderful feel of her soft touch and looked to her long, tapered fingers that were attached to the most delicate hand he could remember ever touching him.
She looked back into his eyes when she slowly caressed him and saw a hunger in them, a raw hunger.
He brought his mouth down to her lips and kissed her.
“Hold that thought,” he soon said, and rose up to go into the bathroom.
When he came out, he saw that Gia removed the covers. She had her head down and had placed her hands on her belly jewelry, stroking it, and her bra was on the floor.
Her breasts were just like he remembered, full, and round, and her nipples were hard.
He took in a breath and she looked up from her belly ring.
“Come here,” she said softly.
As he moved toward the bed, he dropped his briefs and out came one big erect cock. He was about to climb into bed, then backtracked to the chair he put his jeans on the night before and pulled out his wallet. He removed a foil packet and threw his wallet on his discarded jeans, then he climbed back into bed.
He brought an arm to her waist and pulled her to him. His eyes never left hers as he brought his lips down to hers. He closed his eyes when their lips touched and he became demanding, nibbling and licking and prying her mouth open in search of her tongue.
Gia moved her hands over his chest as Jake caressed his way up to her breasts.
When he covered a breast and massaged, Gia let out a moan.
She continued to sweep her hand down his chest, making her way to his groin.
Jake sucked in a breath the moment her hand gently grazed his cock.
He moved his mouth down to her chin, then to her throat and sucked and licked his way to her other breast.
He flicked her nipple with his tongue and she arched into him. He paused to look up at her and wouldn’t you know, the heat in her eyes changed her cool grays to a smoldering charcoal.
He covered her nipple with his mouth and suckled it. He gently bit and tugged it as he plucked her other nipple with his fingers.
Gia’s hand encircled Jake’s throbbing cock and she slid her hand up to its head, luxuriating in the velvety smooth feel of him. She felt a drop of come at his opening and spread it all around his head.
“Oh, Gia, that feels incredible. You feel incredible.” And he brought his mouth back up to hers and crushed her lips as his hand wound its way down her body and snaked into her panties.
With his middle finger, he applied pressure to her clit. He sucked in her moan and continued to move his finger in a circular motion.
Feeling her nub grow, he trapped it between his thumb and index finger and squeezed.
Gia let out a gasp, and he felt her writhe beneath him as she squeezed his cock. He had to break the kiss to catch his breath.
Looking up into her eyes again, he plunged two fingers inside her. “You’re burning up, woman, and sooo wet. Listen to that.” He said as he worked her with his fingers.
Then, with his mouth, he tugged on a nipple and pumped his fingers inside her.
She broke. She came so hard that he couldn’t control her wild bucking, rather, he didn’t want to control it. He found it irresistible.
He watched the moment her eyes closed and stayed with her until she opened them and focused on him again.
She watched him pull his fingers out and bring them to his mouth and suck them.
“Mmmmm,” he moaned. “Take em off,” he said to her, referring to her panties, as he reached for and tore open the condom package.
As soon as she flung her panties, he was between her legs, widening them with his knees, all sheathed up and stroking his cock with his hand.
He circled her clit with it, teasing her, driving her wild, then plunged in quick, to the hilt and stilled as he heard her gasp.
“Oh, Jake,” she panted. ‘Ah, wow!”
Jake raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction. He moved slowly, all the way out, and plunged in quickly again.
“Oh, God.” She began to thrust up, but he held control, by a thread, as he knew she was enjoying it.
He raised up slightly and grabbed onto her ankles and spread them into a V. Then he let loose and hammered into her.
His eyes scanned her body, taking pleasure in watching her breasts move up and down. He watched the glint coming off her belly ring, and he watched his cock moving in and out of her and that did it for him.
He tried; he wanted to bring her to another orgasm. She was close, but his cock had other ideas. He came grunting and clenching his ass.
Gia watched, as he kept his eyes opened and focused on her face. She watched his face contort in blissful peace, and she stared into his deep blues and lost herself as she brought a hand down to her clit. She wanted in on this climax.
As Jake was coming down, his eyes traveled down her body to where her hand was and he shifted and removed her hand and replaced it with his and tweaked her clit.
He didn’t have much power behind his thrusts at that point, but he moved in and out nonetheless, to help her along.
The moment his fingers tugged at her clit, he felt her muscles pulse around his cock, squeezing and releasing, squeezing and releasing as she came.
He collapsed on top of her when he knew she was good, and panted. Then quickly rose up because he didn’t want to hurt her.
She looked beautiful, her skin was dewy, her lips were plump and raised in the corners, and her eyes were dancing, while watching him.
Jake blew out a breath as he rose up and sat on the bed. His legs were still too shaky to get up. He looked down to his crotch, then looked to Gia and smiled as he caressed her belly.
“Man, that was great. I can’t move yet.”
“Yeah.” She nodded and smiled. But it being the first thing in the morning, she quickly got up, and on wobbly legs went to the bathroom.
Jake watched her cute round butt move all the way there, until the bathroom door closed.
When she came out of the bathroom, he was right there by the door. He snaked an arm around her waist and drew her to him and planted his lips on hers.
Breathless after that kiss, all Gia could do was watch Jake walk into the bathroom and dispose of the condom. When he went to pee, she gasped and quickly closed the door. She heard him chuckle as she grinned and went back to bed.
Jake noticed her silly grin as he walked back out of the bathroom. He reached for his briefs while smiling. Putting them on, he noticed Gia’s grin fade. He tilted his head.
She didn’t say anything.
“I have to go.”
“Right.”
“What’s that suppose to mean?”
“What? Right?”
“Yeah.”
“Just that.” She was being aloof
.
“Gia.” He went to her and sat on the bed, “I have to meet Cord at his house in an hour. I’m in the middle of training a horse for him. I wish I could stay with you all day, but I can’t.”
“That’s fine. I didn’t ask you to stay with me all day.” When will I ever learn, men want one thing from me. I thought you were different, Jake. She mentally shook her head.
Jake sighed, then glanced at his watch. As it was he was going to be late. It would take more than an hour to get to Cord’s place.
“Do you want to do dinner tonight?” he asked as he got up and reached for his jeans.
“No, I’m leaving for the airport at four.” I don’t need a pity meal, thank you very much.
“When will you be back?” he asked as he zipped up the jeans.
Gia rose and threw on a nightgown she had on the arm of a chair by the desk. “I don’t know.”
“Gia.” he grabbed her arm as she walked past him. “Don’t be like that.”
“Like what?”
“Like you think I’m not interested in you other than for sex.”
“I didn’t-”
He reached down and kissed her, moving her back until she was flush against the bureau and TV.
Breathless when he released her lips, he smiled down at her. “Damn, you have the most kissable lips I’ve ever kissed.”
Gia bit her lower lip while looking into his eyes and couldn’t help but smile.
“Tell me when you’re coming back.”
“I really don’t know.”
“Could it be next Friday?”
“Probably not. The company is cutting back on expenses.”
“Then, tell me where you live and I’ll come to you next weekend.”
Gia did a double take. “What?”
“I really want to get to know you, Gia, and be with you. I’ll come out to you next weekend... That is, unless you don’t want to get to know me.” He searched her eyes.
Gia contemplated, not about giving her address, but about calling his bluff. She grinned slyly. “Okay, Jake. I’ll give you my address.” She said as she sidestepped him and walked over to the desk. She picked up the pen with the hotel name on it and jotted down her address onto the pad with the same name. She ripped the sheet from the pad and handed it to him.
