“So, what do you want to do today?” I took a sip from my glass.
She looked at me as she chewed her food, her eyebrows rising. “Well, I have to go home and get some clothes. I dunno. What do you wanna do?” She took another bite.
“I’ve thought of a few options.”
Jade’s chewing slowed, and her lips lifted into a grin. “Oh, yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, why don’t you surprise me then? We can do whatever you want.”
I thought about it. Since Jade and I had both been so busy with work, I decided that perhaps a day of relaxation was what we both needed.
“I’ll be right back.” I put my glass down on the counter and headed back toward my office.
Two hours later, I pulled my truck up to one of my houses on the beach. I usually rented the property, but it was fully furnished and vacant at the moment, so it was perfect. It was a large two-story house on stilts with a perfect view of the ocean. I hadn’t been there in years, but my realtor assured me that it was in excellent condition.
“What’s this?” Jade asked as she looked up at the house in front of us.
“You’ll see.” I winked at her before cutting the engine off and getting out to open her door.
Jade followed me up the stairs where I entered the code into the lock above the doorknob before opening it. I held the door open as she slowly walked in, looking all around her.
I’d hired an interior decorator to revamp all my rental properties last year, and by the looks of it, she’d done a great job. All the furnishings looked comfortable and inviting, and the walls were painted in soothing cool colors. It felt like the perfect place to take a vacation.
“Wow! Is this yours?” Jade ran her hand along the back of the big sofa in the living room.
“It’s one of my rental properties.”
Jade’s eyes widened as she looked toward the large deck facing the ocean. “Is that Jackie?”
I smiled as her mouth dropped open, and she looked at me. I’d asked Jackie to bring a coworker with her and meet Jade and me here for a couples massage. They had two tables set up on the deck, covered in white sheets, waiting for us.
“I figured we could both use a day of relaxation,” I said, walking toward her.
A bright smile lit up her face, and when I got to her, she wrapped her arms around my waist.
“I have the best boyfriend in the world,” she murmured before getting on her toes and planting a big, juicy kiss on my lips.
I held on to her hips, my fingers slipping between her shirt and pants to feel her bare skin. I loved the feel of her skin against mine.
Jade
It was a breezy warm day outside even though dark clouds hovered in the sky.
Jay and I walked out onto the back deck of his beautiful beach house. I still couldn’t believe he only rented it out. I’d kill to have a house this amazing. If this was just one of his rental properties, I couldn’t imagine how awesome his beach house in North Carolina must be.
“Mr. Clarke, Ms. Holliday,” Jackie greeted us as we walked out of the glass doors. “This is Noelle,” she said, gesturing to the blonde standing next to her.
They were both dressed in what looked like white scrubs, their hair pulled back in low ponytails.
“Hi,” I said, smiling at them both.
Jackie picked up two robes from one of the tables and handed them to us. “If you don’t mind, please remove your clothing and put these on.”
I peered at Jay over my shoulder with a sly smile as he took his robe and winked at me.
“After you, Ms. Holliday,” he said, extending his arm back toward the house.
We both went back inside, and I looked around for a bathroom, but I didn’t see it.
“First door on the right,” he said, pointing toward the hallway.
“Are you coming with me?”
He shook his head, and I raised an eyebrow.
“We’ll never make it out if I do.”
I started laughing as I made my way toward the bathroom and opened the door. My mouth gaped open as I turned the light on and looked around inside. There was a huge garden tub, a shower with glass walls with three showerheads, and a vanity with a big mirror that had lights mounted behind it.
This is so fuckin’ rad! I wonder how much Jay rents this house for.
I started taking off my clothes, noticing the awesome tiles beneath my feet, when there was a knock at the door.
“You okay in there?”
I tossed off my bra and grabbed my robe from the side of the tub where I’d dropped it. “Oh, yeah. I’m coming,” I said, putting the robe on before swinging the door open.
Jay was standing there in his white terry-cloth robe and bare feet. While his fit him perfectly, stopping a few inches below his knees, mine was huge and went down to my ankles. I tied the belt around my waist and smiled because we matched, and I thought it was super cute.
Oh my God. Who are you right now?
“Is it weird that I think that’s the hottest thing I’ve seen you wear so far?” Jay asked as his eyes made their way down my body.
“Maybe a little, but I was just thinking how cute it is that we match, so I can’t really judge.”
Jay smiled, and I swore, if it could, my vagina would have smiled back. He put his arm out for me, and I held on to it as he led me back toward the deck.
Jackie and Noelle were standing at the foot of each table, smiling at us.
“Mr. Clarke,” Jackie said, gesturing toward her table.
I had to admit, I felt a little relieved that the blonde wasn’t going to get her hands on Jay. She was younger and hotter than Jackie, and I didn’t want her getting any ideas. He was mine.
Jesus. Reel it in, J.
“Ms. Holliday,” Noelle said, giving me a warm smile.
I immediately felt bad for being such a bitch in my head.
I smiled brightly and thanked her as she held the sheet open for me to climb in.
Oh my God.
The sheets were so warm and soft that my body melted into the table, and I sighed. Turning my head to face Jay, I watched as he stared at my body and raked his teeth over his bottom lip. Noelle was adjusting my sheet to rest just above my butt, exposing my naked back. His gaze was so heated that I could feel myself getting wet just from the look he was giving me.
“Wow. You guys have some beautiful ink,” Noelle said, noticing our back pieces.
“The oil won’t irritate it, will it?” Jackie asked as she studied Jay’s new tattoo.
“No, it should be fine. It’s already healed,” I said, peering at Jackie over my shoulder.
“Oh, did you do this?” she asked as she adjusted Jay’s sheet.
“Yes, she did,” Jay replied.
I looked over to see he was still watching me.
“That’s incredible. You’re really talented.”
“Thanks,” I said, smiling at Jay.
Jackie poured some oil onto her hands.
We were all silent for the next hour, just listening to the waves rolling into the sand, as Jay and I got our massages. Every once in a while, I’d peek my eyes open to look at him, and he’d catch me. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d been that relaxed.
We were lying on our backs, and just as the girls finished, there was a knock at the front door. Jay sat up and hopped off the table, standing there in nothing but his snug boxer briefs. I admired his beautiful physique, as he picked up his robe and started pulling it on.
No, not yet.
Jay tied the belt around his waist, and I lifted my gaze to his. He was smirking at my obvious perusal of his body, but I was too horny to care. I just wiggled my eyebrows in response.
“That’s our lunch,” he said, tilting his head toward the inside of the house.
I got up onto my elbows, my body feeling like Jell-O, as Jay went inside to answer the door.
“Thank you so much for that massage. It was amazing,” I said to Noelle.
She began cleaning up. “No problem. Your shoulders and back were tight. All that tattooing must really take a toll on your body.”
“For sure.”
She came over to hand me my robe, and I slipped an arm into it, trying to avoid flashing too much boob. It had occurred to me that maybe I should try to set up regular appointments with her.
“Are you taking any new clients?” I asked as I got down from the table.
She looked at me over her shoulder and smiled. “Sure. Are you interested in arranging something?”
Just as I opened my mouth to respond, Jay came out and wrapped his arms around my waist. “Whatever she wants, I’ll pay for it.”
My mouth snapped shut, and I glanced at him over my shoulder before looking back at Noelle. “I’ll pay for it.”
Jay chuckled and kissed my neck before peering up at Noelle, who continued packing up her things. “Noelle, talk to Jackie about setting it up.”
I sighed and could feel myself getting annoyed. I wasn’t sure why. I knew Jay was just trying to be nice, and it wasn’t like he couldn’t afford it, but there had to be some sort of compromise. I guessed there were times when I didn’t find his sense of authority very appealing.
“Yes, sir,” Noelle said, giving us both a smile.
There was no way she was going to argue with Mr. Jason Clarke.
“Come on, let’s go eat,” Jay said, releasing me and smacking my ass through my thick terry-cloth robe.
I rolled my eyes and turned around to follow him inside. There was a long table to the right that looked like it was made of a giant piece of driftwood. Two places were already set, and a man dressed in khaki slacks and a white shirt was pouring fresh water into our empty glasses.
Jay waited for him to finish and go back to the kitchen before pulling out my chair for me. I glared at him as I made my way toward my seat. When I got in his space and poked his hard chest with my finger, he looked surprised.
“You’re not the boss of me, buddy,” I said, poking him again.
Jay’s eyebrows rose, and his eyes got wide as he looked down at my hand. I would have laughed at his reaction if I wasn’t trying to make a point.
“What did I do?” he asked, holding his free hand out to his side.
“If I want to pay for my massages, I can. I know you’re rich. I know you could probably buy everything I own and barely make a dent in your bank account, but I work hard for my money, and I should be able to spend it however I want!”
Jay’s hand dropped, and so did his eyebrows. I saw his jaw tighten, and I knew he was preparing to argue, but I stood my ground. Moving my hand from his chest and crossing my arms over mine, I waited for it.
Jay leaned in, and his voice was low when he said, “You’re my woman now, Ms. Holliday. When my woman wants something, I get it for her. I take care of what’s mine. You want to spend your money, do it when I’m not around. Now, sit your pretty little ass down, and eat lunch with me.”
Well…when he puts it like that.
I narrowed my eyes at him, refusing to give in too easily. “You’re lucky I find your bossiness so sexy, Mr. Clarke.”
He raised one eyebrow and glanced at my mouth before replying, “You haven’t seen bossy yet.”
Jay
Jade and I sat at the table, eating our sushi, after everyone had left. I knew she was a strong and independent woman—it was one of the things that had attracted me to her—but there was no way she would convince me to stop spoiling her. I had more money than I knew what to do with anyway.
Gray clouds rolled in over the ocean, and the room grew darker as we sat there. Jade was being quiet, and I could see her thinking as she ate. I waited patiently for her to speak.
“Have you thought about spending more time with your dad?”
Her question surprised me, and I could feel my mood start to sink as I thought about the last visit I’d paid to him.
“I tried,” I said as I dipped a piece of sushi into my soy sauce.
“I know, but have you spoken to him? About how you feel, I mean.”
“No. My father and I don’t have heart-to-hearts.”
Her eyes lifted to mine, and I knew she could hear the bitterness in my tone.
“He’s stubborn. I’m trying to be patient with him,” I muttered before taking a sip from my water.
She must have sensed my unease with this conversation because she grew quiet again and kept eating. I knew I had to try to be open with her, but I found it hard to talk about that part of my life. My anger toward my father was always an internal battle that I fought on my own. I was hesitant to let anyone else see just how deeply his cuts had wounded me, but I wanted her to know I was trying.
“I’m going with him to his next doctor’s appointment.”
Jade looked at me and gave me a sad smile. “Well, that’s good.”
I shrugged. “Yeah, I guess. At least I can find out what’s going on. His voice doesn’t sound right, and his hands are giving him problems.”
Her eyes studied mine for a second before she glanced down at her food and picked up another piece of sushi. I could tell she was trying to tread lightly. She knew how difficult it was to watch a parent slip away with no control to stop it.
“I’m sorry. I know it’s hard. I just don’t want you to regret anything. There’s still time to build a relationship, if that’s what you want.”
I watched her as I took another sip from my water. I knew what I was about to say would be harsh, but it was the truth, and I’d promised Jade I’d always give her that. “I’ve never been important to my father, and we hardly speak. To be honest, I’m not sure my life will really change once he’s gone.”
Jade swallowed the bite she was chewing and looked at me with a hint of pity in her eyes. I didn’t like seeing it there, so I looked away.
“I don’t know your father, but I have a feeling you might mean more to him than you think.”
Choosing not to argue, I just took another bite.
We were silent for a while before Jade spoke again, “So, what else do you have planned for today?” Thankfully, she was changing the subject.
“Absolutely nothing.”
Jade smiled, and any thoughts of my dad were quickly forgotten as I grinned back at her.
“That sounds amazing. I can’t remember the last day I spent doing absolutely nothing.”
“Me either.”
Reaching over, Jade put her hand on mine, her fingers curling in to squeeze my palm. “Thank you for all of this,” she said, pausing to look around us. “You’ve made me feel more special than…well, than I’ve ever felt before.”
Lifting her hand toward my mouth, I leaned down and kissed her knuckles. I could see her back straighten, and I peered up to look at her.
“You’ve turned me into a total horn dog,” she murmured as she glanced down at my mouth.
I chuckled, and she seemed to snap out of her daze as she realized she’d said that out loud. I loved how she wore her heart on her sleeve, and whether intentional or not, she always said what she was thinking.
A second later, there was a flash of lightning outside, followed by a crash of thunder.
Jade and I both turned to look just as the rain began pouring down.
“Well, it looks like we won’t be going anywhere for a while,” I said before turning back to face her.
Jade’s eyes sparkled with mischief, and I felt my dick twitch in response. I’d been waiting to be inside her all day, but I liked that. I liked teasing both Jade and myself with the anticipation and need to make it happen.
After finishing her food, Jade sat back in her seat and crossed her legs, her robe opening just enough to expose her thigh. My eyes were drawn to the area as I took my last bite, chewing slowly. I felt myself growing hard. I could feel Jade watching me, and I wanted her to know what I was thinking. I wanted her thinking the same things.
When I finally lifted my gaze to hers, I knew we were both on the same page. She had a hungry look in her eyes that had my cock at full attention. Her hair was wild and wavy today, hanging down one of her shoulders. I couldn’t wait to run my fingers through it. I wanted to grip it in my hand while her mouth was wrapped around my dick.
Slow down. Not yet.
I took a sip from my water, my eyes back on Jade’s, as she gave me a sexy smirk. She could see the effect she was having on me. I probably had a fucking tent in my lap.
“So, what should we do next?” she asked, giving me a devious look.
“Oh, there’s so much I want to do,” I replied.
Standing up, I slowly untied the knot in my belt and let my robe fall to the floor. Jade’s gaze dropped to my crotch, and her mouth went slack.
“Yes, please,” she whispered.
I smiled. She made it hard to keep things serious, and I loved that about her.
“Come here,” I said, holding my hand out.
Jade put her hand in mine, and I could feel that deep vibration of energy building between us. The rain was coming down hard now, and the lightning and thunder hadn’t let up, but I was too distracted to pay attention.
Standing up, Jade’s robe slipped off one of her shoulders, exposing the bright ink on her skin. I pulled her closer and wrapped my arms around her waist before leaning down and placing an open kiss on one of the flowers tattooed on her bare shoulder. Jade sucked in a breath as she pressed her body closer to mine. I made a slow trail of kisses toward her neck as her breath accelerated more with each touch.
“I love the way you taste,” I whispered against her ear as one of my hands moved to her ass and squeezed, my hips instinctively pressing closer.
Jade let out a small moan and lifted her head, her hands coming up to hold my jaw, as she moved up on her toes to kiss me. My grip on her grew tighter as she glided her warm tongue against mine. Slipping one hand between us, I undid her belt and began pulling her robe off of her. She released me long enough to let it fall off her arms and land at her feet. Her nipples were hard, and I cupped her breasts in my hands before sliding my thumbs over them.
