Duskwood - Choose or Lose

Chapter 29

Jake POV

I loaded the dishwasher while Amber went into the bathroom to brush her teeth. I still couldn't get all the images out of my head. She completely exposed and so vulnerable while letting herself lose her mind. I had never done anything like this with a woman. She was like in her own world, and I enjoyed the show. I could feel my pants tightening again. This woman drove me insane, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I turned on the dishwasher and looked out the window at the sleeping city. A few lights were on here and there in the apartments, but most of the windows were dark. Colville resembled New York. At night, the apartments were dark, but the streetlights and billboards lit up the streets. The trees swayed in the wind as they tried to stand still in the fierce gusts of wind. Leaves fell from the already bare trees and decorated the gray tar with their bright colors. Here in Germany, there was really rarely snow in winter. Everything still looked like it was late autumn. On the roof of the apartment building opposite, a cat crept gracefully across the roof and bathed in the moonlight. A young man went for a quick night walk with his dog. Barking, the dog rolled around in a pile of leaves in a lighted meadow. Smiling, I took in the image of the beautiful city and turned off our lights as well.

I slouched wearily into the bedroom. In there, I found a half-naked beauty. She looked critically at herself in the mirror. I hugged her from behind and gently kissed her shoulder down to her neck. She giggled softly as my hand ran down her sides. I smiled cheekily into her neck.

"Oh god, no! Jake!" she squealed laughing. My fingers danced wildly down her sides as I held her with my left arm, and she screamed for her life. She desperately tried to free herself but was helpless at my mercy. "Please! Stop! I- Aaahh!" She managed to free herself and ran to the other side of the room, her face pleading.

As she tried to breathe normally, I ran up to her and tickled her mercilessly. She kept trying to escape until she eventually tripped and fell on the bed. She crawled to the other side of the bed but got stuck in the covers and was too slow to escape my hands. She was on her belly, and like a beast, I sat on her legs and tickled her while she laughed loudly into the pillow. She kept trying to slap my hands away, but she was in an impractical position to do so. "Have mercy, please! I cannot anymore!"

Chuckling, I let go of her and traced her spine with my finger. I felt my pants tighten again, and she felt it too. This woman aroused me just by her presence. She cramped under me, and I knew right away that she thought I wanted sex.

"Jake, I am sorry, but I-"

"Sshh, I know. I can't change my body's reactions to you, I'm sorry," I said while getting off her and kissing her gently on the cheek. She wasn't ready, and I respected it. I didn't even know how to behave around a virgin, so I was nervous myself. With all the one-night stands in my past, I'd made sure they weren't virgins anymore. The last thing I wanted was to rob a woman of her virginity during a cheap one-night stand. So, I patiently waited until Amber was ready.

I still wondered why she was so tense.

Had something happened in her past?

Before I could ask her anything, I heard her breathing deeply and regularly. She fell asleep in my arms. Oh, how I missed that. I reached out slightly to turn off the bedroom light with the remote control. I loved this apartment. You didn't have to rely on light switches. We could control all the lights in the house with one remote control. After the light went out, I put my other arm around her and closed my eyes.

In the middle of the night, I was awakened by a loud scream. It was Amber. She seemed to have been having a nightmare. I tried to calm her down, but she kept whispering a name and the same question.
