I love him! A laugh bubbled out of me, oh gosh I really do love this man.Was it love I have been feeling all this entire time? I thought it was just attraction I felt for him. When exactly did my feelings for him change? 

"What did you say?" Jake asked, suddenly standing in front of me.

"T-that I.. that-" 

The words I said a minute ago struggled to make it past my lips. He was standing too close to me, confusing me with his closeness. Did he have to stand so close? I could practically hear as he took a breath and as his heart beat so strong and loud.

"Say it again." he ordered moving forward and I took a step back.

"Stop coming closer," I whispered, my eyes staring at our feet.

"Why? Am I making you nervous Kitten, does my proximity make your blood rush to your head and mess with your senses?"

"Yes! You're confusing me, is that what you wanted to hear? You're presence in my life has messed up all my plans." I said pushing at his chest. 

"You came and made me start feeling things okay?!" I shouted, breathing heavily.

"There she is." He cooed with a smile on his face. "I love the fire I see in those beautiful eyes when you're angry and things aren't going your way."

Why did I have to fall in love with craziest man? Out of so many men in the world, I had to choose this one? 

"You're crazy Jacob!" 

"But you love me just like that?" 

"Yes! I do love you. I love how you make me feel, but it also scares me to death." I admitted.

"Say it again, please." He begged, bringing me closer to him-his hands holding my waist tightly as though afraid I would vanish.

"I am in love with you. I don't-"

"Shhhh, I want to see those eyes when you say it. Say it once more Kitten." He said, one of his hand caressing my cheek and lips.

Shaking my head I gave into this mad man's demands. "I love you Jacob!" 

"Do you want me to shout it on top of the rooftop, cause I will do it if it means you'll forgive me for my stupidity." I whispered, caressing his arms.

"There's nothing to forgive, I'm just happy to have you in my arms again. It still feels so surreal you know?"

Pulling him closer I hugged him, and listened to his heart beating fast in sync with mine. I missed being in his arms like this, putting my head in his chest and listening to his heartbeat. 

"No, I have to say this. I have been ignoring this for a while now." I voiced pulling away from the hug and he walked us to couch in his office.

"I ignored how I felt because my breakup with Alex was still so fresh in my mind and you coming into my life scared me. I think deep down I knew what I felt for you was stronger than anything I ever felt for any man and that meant the fall would hurt more.."

"Hey, look at me. I would never hurt you intentionally, I would rather die than break your heart," 

"I believe you," I whispered, kissing the corner of his mouth softly.

"If you're going to kiss me baby, do it like you mean it," Jake said, smirking and I pampered his face with wet kisses making him laugh.

"Let me show you what I wanted to do that day you were flirting with my staff downstairs."

"For the millionth time, I wasn't flirting with anyone. You were seeing things, but show me what you wanted to do," I said seductively.

Jake dipped his head low, covering my lips with his own and kissed me so softly a moan slipped out of me. He pulled me closer deepening the kiss and I felt my knees wobble and body tremble with desire.

Thank goodness I was sitting down.

            ~~~~~~~~~~❤️~~~~~~~~~~

Jake's POV 

As I deepened the kiss, I knew that if I were to die in this very moment I woul die the happiest man on earth. I grabbed under her thighs and stood up, walking towards my office desk not breaking the kiss and sat her on top of it.

"It's freaking cold," she said breaking the kiss.

"Good, we need to cool down before I take you on this desk as I've often thought of it these past months." I confessed kissing her nose.

"So, what's stopping you?" she asked biting her lips seductively.

Running my fingers in her beautiful hair, I smiled still not believing that she was truly here with me. "As much as I would love nothing, but to spank that beautiful ass as I take you from behind right here. I want our first time to be special and memorable." I answered and watched as she blushed looking at her dangling feet.

Amara never ceased to amaze me, she never shied away from saying her mind, yet here she was blushing when I painted the picture of what I wanted to do to her.

"What happened to that feisty girl that was telling me she wants me to fuck her?" 

"Things were different then, plus I was horny," she said with a laugh getting down from the table.

"And you aren't now? You were just getting yourself off my thigh minutes ago?" 

I couldn't help chuckling, there was never a dull moment with Amara. She was what I called a full package, she was funny, damn intelligent, beautiful, kind and sexy as hell.

"Stop teasing me. Anyway where were you planning of going tomorrow?"

"Relocating back to Australia." 

"What?!" You were planning on not coming back? What if I didn't find you, were you just going to leave without goodbye and forget about me?" she said pacing around the room.

"Calm down! I'm kidding, I was just going to Italy for a couple of months." 

Hearing that she came to a stop, standing in front of me. "How long is a couple of month?" 

"Three months." 

"Three months?! What am I supposed to be doing during that time?" She asked pouting and I kissed those pink lips and she kissed me back, deepening it before pills away.

"No, you are distracting me." she whined.

"Well that was the case." I admitted before continuing. "I can't cancel the trip, but I can delay going and try to come back earlier than intended so that we spent time together."

A friend I met in France when I was studying to be a chef invited me to his wedding in Italy. He wanted us to spent this last month of summer there while he helps his Italian girlfriend plan their wedding and we decided to see if we can't expand our businesses that side hence the three months trip.

"I like that idea." Amara said, smiling.

"May I take you out for dinner tomorrow?"

"Okay, where are you taking me?" She asked tilting her head.

"Curiosity killed the cat."

"You just can't help it, can you?" She giggled. "

"Nope! Come, let me take you home before Sophie worries about you."

        ~~~~~~~~~~😘❤️~~~~~~~~~~

I couldn't sleep last night, too excited for the day ahead tomorrow and happy that she gave me her heart. After dropping her off at home, I made some calls postponing my trip to Italy and making last minute reservations for our dinner.

This would our first date, one where the two of us are a couple. I was planning on asking her to be my girlfriend, hell if it were up to me I would be purchasing a ring and proposing, but that would sure make her run for the hills. She needed patience and love to help her learn how to trust again and I would do everything in my power to do that.

"I'm so glad you decided not to go, this place is still flocking with tourists." Beth's voice said over the phone.

"True, but you would have managed just fine without me. And I'm still leaving, maybe for a month or so..."

"We will discuss it once I'm sure about my departure. I got to go, I will see you tomorrow." I said, ending the call.

Happy with the way I looked, I sprayed some cologne and drove to pick Amara up. I couldn't take my eyes off her as we rode the elevator downstairs, she looked lethal, ready to bring any man on his knees. 

Her scent was enough to make my thoughts stray, and all I could think of during the long drive was caressing her soft skin, taking those buds in my mouth and finally tasting her again.

With my train thoughts, I felt my pants getting extremely tight making me uncomfortable. "Are you okay?" She asked knowingly.

"How am I supposed to sit next to you for the duration of our date, with you looking like that? I can hardly think straight, let alone breathe." I complaint while she giggled, finding the entire situation funny.

"You're the one who said I should dress like this." She giggled.

Even that giggle was doing things to me, was there anything she would do or say that wouldn't get me hard?

Once we arrived at our destination, I opened the door and held out a hand to assist her out of the car. "What are we doing here?" Keeping her in suspense, I opened the door and we walked inside.

"It looks so beautiful and different. How did you get William to agree to this?" She asked as I pulled the chair out for her to sit down.

"This is where we first met almost seven months ago, and I wanted it to be the place where I got to ask you to be mine; be my girlfriend kitten?" 

"Nothing would make me happier than being your girlfriend, Mr. Latte." She said quietly, smiling at me.

She opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by the approaching waiter with our drinks. "Thanks." 

"Okay, tell me. How did you pull this, you booked the entire place, even ordered me my favourite wine?" 

"I asked Sophie to give me April's number and she helped me book this place and spilled a few secrets here and there," I confessed as the same waiter served us dinner.

The rest of the evening was filled with laughter and joy as we enjoyed the food prepared. "Are you having dessert? I'm so full and don't think I can stomach anything more," Ara spoke taking a sip of water.

"All the dessert I want is right here in front of me. Let's go home so I can explore underneath that sinful dress." 

The drive home was short, with less traffic on the road and me in a hurry kiss my girlfriend without the waiters nearby. As soon as we were inside my apartment I kissed her like a starved man.

"Make love to me," she whispered biting my earlobe as I carried her upstairs.

Without any time, I pampered her face with kisses, kissing her soft spot on her neck and she moaned as my hands explored underneath her dress and came to a stop.

"You've been walking around with no panties? You little minx!" I growled before claiming her mouth.

I unzipped her dress and watched it pool at her feet, then went on my knees to help her with her shoes, caressing her inner thighs when the shoes were undone. "You're the sexiest woman I've ever seen baby. Let me get a taste and get you ready." I told her looking into her hooded eyes and she opened her legs to give me room.

"I'm ready," she moaned as I ran a finger along her slit before sinking two fingers inside of her.

I stood up and slowly pushed her on the awaiting bed before opening her thighs and kissed her wet center. My tongue lapping at the wet juices, while my fingers worked her. "I...yes right there." She said, her walls clumping on my fingers and she let go 

"I can watch you cum all night, but I can't. I need to have you now before I explored in my pants," I voiced with a hoarse voice.

In seconds I unbuckled my trousers and she helped me with my shirt then it joined the rest of the clothes on the floor. Opening the drawer, I took the condom. "I want to feel you, Jacob. All of you, I'm on a pill and clean." Amara said softly.

"I'm also clean, but are you sure kitten?" 

"Yes, I want you to be the first man to have all of me." She said, her hooded eyes looking at my hard dick and that was all the confirmation I needed.

Placing my member at her entrance, I pumped her clitoris for a few moments before slowly pushing it in and out. I did this a few more times, then thrusted in. "Sweet lord, you're clumping on me so tight baby,"

For the next minutes we moved in sync, finding our rhythm, slow at first, then I picked up my pace and she followed me, fucking me back. "I feel so full- I...knew you would fill me up. Oh, Jake! It feels so good..."she said bucking up to meet my thrusts.

"Why did you stop?" She cried out when I pulled out of her.

"Get on your knees baby, this ass has tortured me for months,"

She obeyed me and wiggled it, prompting me to spank it. "Did you just spank me?"

"Ohh!" She moaned when I did it again before thrusting in hard.

Beside her moans and my groans, the only sound in the room was our skins clapping and the sound of her arousal. This angle was made me see stars and I knew I would cum if she kept moving like she was. I couldn't cum before her, and I moved my hand to her clit, flicking it until I heard her moaning louder, screaming my name.

"Jacob- oh Jacob!" She screamed cumming as I chased my own, and I was cumming. My body trembling and eyes nearly blacking out.

"Ahh, fuck!"

It's never been that good, never came so hard. What was she doing to me? After cleaning her, we both dozed off until I woke her up in the wee hours of the night taking her on her side. 

"I love you, Amara." I whispered in the early morning hours as we finished our third round.
