He was still standing bare chest, and I was drooling at the sight. He glanced in my direction, and I quickly averted my gaze. I stood up to leave the room, giving him some space to get ready. He held my hand and stopped me from going. He slowly stepped closer and took me in his arms. His eyes laced with lust.
"I love it when you look at me like that, Emma. You are mine, just mine. I want to hold you, touch you and tame every burning desire you hold, please you till you completely forget the world." He whispered with his sensuous breath brushing on my skin. Every word he said made me tickle at all the wrong places. He had me swooning, deep inside I wanted to live each and every word he just said.
He leaned closer and kissed my lips with passion. I immediately responded and kissed him back, with my hands running in his hair. His shirt was still unbuttoned, and he was holding me tightly against his bare chest. After a heated session, I gasped for air breaking our kiss, and now his kisses trailed down my jaw to my exposed neck. He was nibbling at my collarbone with his other hand under my shirt caressing my skin, causing me to let out a soft moan. My body was washed in an unknown craving. I wanted to get rid of his shirt and kiss every inch of his sexy chest. My corrupt thoughts were clouding my head, when suddenly, we heard the captain make an announcement. "Flight attendants, prepare for landing please."
"We are starting our descent. Make sure you are seated, and your seat belt is securely fastened."
We both got out of our trance. Jake was still holding me tight, and as soon as we saw in each other's eyes, we both burst out laughing.
"Damn it! I was so not done with you." Jake whispered in my ears, gradually losing his hold on me.
"Me too. You get dressed. I will meet you outside." I shyly retreated from his arms and ran out of the room. I went back to my seat and calmed my racing heart.
One thing I was truly sure of, Jake made me feel things like no man has ever done before, and I was uncontrollably and irrevocably falling for his charms.
Chapter 23
At my door
Emma
NYC
It was almost seven am when Jake dropped me home from the airport. "But I want to get back to work today. If you can, then why can't I?" I pouted.
"Because you need to rest. You were stuck in a storm Emma, you were unconscious for seventeen hours and then travelled for over fourteen hours" He held my face, cupped between his hands.
He took a deep breath and continued, "I can work in peace if I know you are alright. Don't be too hard on yourself; you can start work tomorrow. I will let the legal department be informed of your leave today."
Reluctantly I nodded and agreed to him. He gave me a soft kiss on lips and then I hugged him goodbye.
In reality, I felt like a complete mess, as soon as I reached my apartment. I took a long warm bath, and changed into my favorite shorts and spaghetti top. I was in front of the mirror, brushing my hair when I saw a deep red mark on my collar bone. Immediately vivid memories of my short make-out session with Jake filled my mind. I was feeling so turned on just by thinking about him.
Get a grip girl. I immediately shoved back all the sexy intimate thoughts to the back of my mind. After a while, I hit the bed with a big smile on my face and dozed off within minutes.
I woke up when it was already five pm in the evening. Crap. I really slept through the entire day.
I got up and dragged my lazy self to the kitchen and cooked some salad with garlic bread. After eating, I started unpacking my stuff, putting half of my clothes in the laundry; and organized my remaining things to where it usually was placed in my closet.
An hour or so later, I heard my doorbell ring.
I rushed to the door and found an exhausted Jake with a small bag in his hand.
"Where have you been, Emma? I have been worried, sick."
"Well. Hello to you too, Jake." I instantly gave him a tight hug. His stiff posture relaxed, and he hugged me back.
I would be lying if I say I wasn't expecting him here, a part of me knew and wanted him to come over. I was overjoyed to find him at my door.
"You look so tired. Did you have a long day?" I asked him while pulling out of the hug and looking in his eyes.
"Please come in. I am sorry my place is not in the best shape at the moment." I strode in and started keeping things in their place, making room for him to sit comfortably.
"Hey. Shh! Relax. It's me. You don't have to put up a show for me. I like everything about you. When you are with me, nothing else matters." He gave me a warm hug again.
After minutes, he stepped back, his eyes trailing down my body. He was completely checking me out. Suddenly his gaze got stuck on my collarbone. I could see mischief in his eyes, a smirk forming up his lips.
"Did I mark you already?" He chuckled.
I was embarrassed now, "Umm... Why don't you sit, I will get you some water?" I immediately rushed to the kitchen, dodging his question and hiding my flushed cheeks.
As soon as I got back, Jake took my hand and made me sit close to him, "I asked you to buy a phone, Emma?
