Another Love

Chapter 14

"You chose me? Jake I don't understand.." Tay'ra becomes confused by his sudden confession, "the woman you chose is not me. You chose Neytiri. She is your true love."

He nods, "she is. She is my true love and my soulmate, in another life. But you, Tay'ra. You are the woman I am choosing now."

His eyes looked at her pleadingly. Waiting for an answer.

"I don't know.. I don't know what to say" Tay'ra says.

"You don't have to say anything. Not now. But when you are ready to, I'm here. If Zo'ile is right. If I am the man that you wish to be with, I will accept" Jake says.

She looks at him worried, but he only smiles at her.

In this moment, she could choose him back. She could choose to kiss him right now in this very moment and make him hers.

But the question kept running in her mind;
Was he using her?

"Are you sure? If you chose me, you know that will mean a lot more" Tay'ra says.

Jake nods, "I know. And I'm okay with that."

She could do the right thing and wait. Maybe talk to someone about it and get someone else's advice before it had gotten further.

But she also had the opportunity to give in to every desire right now and just kiss him, right here. Right now.

"Why do you look at me like that?" Tay'ra says to him.

"I just can't take my eyes off you" he whispers to her, in sweet yet needy tone. He wanted her.

"I just.." she stops herself for a moment.

All her head filling up with these emotions. What could she do in this moment?

"Tell me anything you want to do" Jake says to her.

He could see it in her eyes.

She wanted him just as much as he wanted her.

But he needed her to confess. To do something. To tell him.

She feels Jake's cheeks in the palm of her hands, as she tiptoes to him, as every emotion, every feeling she felt for him, took over her completely.

It was more than words, as she finally let their lips meet each other.

It was a soft and tender touch as neither him nor her were expecting it.

Tay'ra could not believe she got herself to kiss him.

She thought with her head and yet, her heart gave out completely, to him.

Jake was shocked because as much as he wanted it, he didn't expect Tay'ra to want it yet either.

But he was happy with it. He was happy with her choice, as he bought his arms around her, pulling her towards him.

His eyes close slowly, as he begins to kiss her back, letting her know that he wanted it. That he wanted this.

Tay'ra let's her arms rest on his shoulders as her hands cross together, behind his neck, as he feels a light touch of her finger tips on him, causing him to shiver.

He liked the feeling of her.

Her touch. Her scent.

Everything.

What was once a tender and soft kiss had now become a lot more, as both Jake and Tay'ra were longing for each other.

Who knew that, kissing someone you were attracted to, only made you want it more?
