The first Friday rolled around and to say I was annoyed would be an understatement. I tried to plead with my dad to get me out of it but this was the one time that my last name could not get me out of a situation. Jake tried to assure me that it was fine and I just needed to get through the early hours of the night.Greg had organized a dinner at a restaurant. It was lazy if you asked me and it was obvious that there was no thought behind it. I didn’t mind because I knew dinner was something I could easily bail from if need be. It was nothing fancy so I went for a simple black dress and heels. Dad wished me luck to which I flipped him off.Dinner was set by 7 and I got there by a few minutes after. A handful of people were already there including Greg and Charles. Greg was the first to sight me and he gave a dismissive smile. “I’m glad you took time out of your busy schedule to attend Hayley. I was beginning to doubt whether you were going to.”I ignored his obvious taunt and took the
I could barely focus as I drove to Jake’s house. I was the equivalent of a drunk frat boy because no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t shake the taste of his lips on mine and it made me uneasy. I hated feeling that way. I briefly wondered if I was doing the right thing by going to Jake but I didn’t know where else to go. I knew I would have to give my father an explanation but for the time being, I didn’t want to think about it.Jake’s house was massive. It was roughly the size of my dad’s with a massive electronically operated gate, two floors and a large and open space around it. The garage itself was a completely different building and when I parked, I noticed a pool behind it. Jake was waiting for me when I walked out of the garage and from the look on his face, I could tell that he was concerned.Once I was within arm’s reach, he pulled me closer to him. “Are you alright?” I nodded. “Are you going to spend the night or do you plan on going home?”“I want to stay,” my voice was
When Jake came to bed a few minutes later, he didn’t make a move to touch me. He just crawled in behind me and pulled me flush against his chest. He murmured a few words in another language and placed a kiss on my temple. He spoke too softly for me to even try identifying what language he spoke in.I fell asleep faster than I would have if I were alone and I didn’t wake up until the next morning when sunlight was streaming in through the window. I realized that sometime during the night, the covers had been thrown off my body but I was still warm because I was completely wrapped up in Jake’s arms. His legs were tangled in mine and his hand was laying against my bare hip because the shirt had risen up to my waist.He had fallen asleep in his boxers and I could feel the outline of his dick pressing into my ass. It took everything in me not to rock against it. Instead, I carefully detangled myself from him. He was still fast asleep which I found shocking. I always assumed that he was a v
“Jake,” I began but he held out a hand to stop me. It was like he was barely holding onto his sanity. I realized that his eyes were still trained on my spread thighs and I slowly pulled my fingers out. He threw his head back and muttered a curse under his breath.He slowly stood to his feet and I watched as he closed the distance between us and took my fingers into his mouth. He licked them clean and just like that, I was wet again. My orgasm was nowhere close to enough and I wanted him. I opened my mouth to speak but he shot me a dark look that had the words dying in my throat.“So let me get this straight,” he began after he released my fingers with a pop. “I was busy with work and you decided to be a brat because of it.”“You ignored me. You barely even looked at me,” I was well aware that I sounded like a child but I didn’t care. He was rude and I was simply returning the favor.“You don’t get to be a fucking brat when you want to, Hayley,” he muttered before pulling back to look
Jake couldn’t take me home because we couldn’t risk my father looking through the cameras and seeing Jake drop me off. He was angry about that because he didn’t want me driving alone but I assured him that everything was fine. I was thankful he didn’t drop me off because Alana was there waiting when I arrived. She raised a brow when she saw me walking in with different clothes.“Do I want to know?” she asked and I shook my head. “I hope the guy is treating you right, whoever he is.”“He is,” I assured her and she raised a brow waiting. I knew immediately what she wanted and I sighed. “I can’t tell you anything about him right now. You just have to trust me on this one.”She huffed under her breath.“Any man who makes you his dirty secret is not worth it. Is he married or something?” my face contorted into a grimace. “What did you expect me to think when you said you couldn’t tell me about him?”“He isn’t married or in a relationship. I don’t even know if we are in a relationship. I do
Jake couldn’t respond and that was the exact moment that I knew he had done something. I was so annoyed that I couldn’t stop myself from hanging up the phone. He tried to call back but I ignored his calls and finally switched off my phone when they became too frequent. I knew he wouldn’t risk coming to the office especially since my father wasn’t around so I had a few hours to figure out what exactly I wanted to do.By the end of the workday, I was more furious than before I started. A part of me was happy that Jake had come to my defense but I was annoyed that he did it even after I asked him not to. Yes, Charles was an asshole but I worked with him and Jake had unknowingly caused more problems for me.I got home fully prepared to just strip and lie naked in bed but I was taken aback when I saw Jake standing in my living room. His hair was messy as if he ran his hands through it one too many times and the top buttons of his shirt were undone. He looked worried and when he saw me, he
Jake never returned and I was left worrying all night. I was unable to fall asleep because I couldn’t help but worry that something terrible had happened to my dad. I ended up cleaning because I couldn’t sleep and I couldn’t bring myself to get out of the house the next day. I knew I would hear it from Greg and the others about missing work but for once, I was leveraging my status and Michael Davis’ daughter.Alara came early in the morning at her usual time but I asked her to go back home. She was confused but I promised that I would explain it all later. I didn’t want anyone in the house, I just wanted to sit and wait for my dad in silence.My dad returned sometime around noon. He looked like he had been through hell. The bags under his eyes were dark and I knew he hadn’t been sleeping properly over the last few days. When he saw me, he sighed deeply and just collapsed into the chair. I rushed over to his side but he waved me off to assure me that he was fine.“I’m not going to let
I was at work religiously the next day and I tried to ignore the weird looks and whispers that I got as I walked in with my dad. When I first started working, I always made sure to stay as far away from him as I could, I didn’t want people to think that I had gotten to where I was because of him. I was grateful for the opportunities that his name gave me but I was also smart enough to know that part of what brought me so far was my own brain.Dad walked me over to my office door but stopped me from going in. “Is there a reason that they are all staring at you like you kicked their puppy?”I just shrugged because I didn’t really feel like talking about the issues I was having with Charles. My father was nothing short of overprotective and the last thing I wanted was for him to go ahead and fire Charles or start up something even worse with HR. It was something he could do and unlike Jake, he didn’t take no for an answer where I was concerned.“I’m sure it is nothing, don’t worry about
