Chapter 19

VERA'S POV

"How do you feel now?" Jack whispered to my ear, still holding me tightly.

We lay down on the bed, my back turned to him, his right hand thrown over my tummy, and his long leg tangled with mine.

He deliberately nibbled on my ear and a stirring groan escaped my lips. Isn't it amazing? To wake up every morning, in the arms of your beloved and get treated so sweetly in a serene bedroom!

I turned around to face him, my mouth twitched in amusement. He can be so romantic when he's cool, and I can give anything to make this morning last forever. Impossible!

Look who's talking about forever! Someone who clearly warned this guy not to fall in love with her because she doesn't want to get attached to him in any way, won't it be stupid to break her own rules?

Honestly, for that brief moment, I forgot about the pain, what scared me last night, and why I should get far away from Jack and bury myself in his protective arms.

"Can you do that again?" I twitched my ear.

He nibbled on my ear again without hesitation and trailed kisses from it down to my neck. I laughed sultrily.

"I feel better now," I told him.

He looked at my face and grinned. "Good morning, senorita,"

"Oh, how sweet of you to be so spicy this early morning, kinda makes me want to stay like this forever," I said playfully.

"You want me to believe it's a joke, but you are blushing!" He laughed.

"What? You are trying to give yourself credit!" I laughed again.

"Then I'm gonna make your cheeks hot this time around, you'll see!" He splayed his palm on my stomach.

"How do you plan on doing that, Mr. Jackson Taylor?" I drew imaginary lines at the back of his hand.

He took me by surprise when he kissed me and I sucked in a breath. When he lifted his head to look at me, I opened my mouth and invited him for another soul kiss.

I didn't only blush, my cheeks burned when he stopped and looked at my face again. God damnit, this man is sweet when the beast in him hasn't awakened.

It was like our first kiss for me; for all I know, the other times, he had eagerly devoured my lips and every part of my body, and that doesn't relate to this amazing kiss.

"Now what do you think, Miss Vera Santos?" He asked, winking at me.

I smiled mischievously and snuggled closer to him. We were engaged in a cozy chat when Tim interrupted.

"Am I not going to school today?" The little boy asked after greetings.

I wanted to rush out of bed to get him ready for school, but Jack insisted on doing it while I got more sleep. I needed it too, so I didn't decline. I went back to sleep.

I was awakened when I felt something cold on my neck; it dripped to my spine, and I opened my eyes, giggling like a one-year-old.

"Feel better?" A deep voice asked.

"Much better," I whispered as I turned to lie down on my back so I could look at him. "You aren't dressed up for work?"

He was on his hands and knees as he towered over me in the bed, I felt small between his arms and long legs. He might not be a frequent visitor at the gym, but he's muscled up enough to be called strong.

I felt the chill on my back again and reached to take the ice cube he had placed on my neck. I put it on his cheek and he chuckled.

"Do you care for juice? I tried making an orange juice with some of the oranges from the plantation." He removed my hand from his cheek and licked my palm.
