Chapter 16.
There in the middle of the clearing stood Jake next to a small man made waterfall. Rose petals made a red carpet from where she stood all the way to where he was. She did not know where to Anne and Jane disappeared to, but all she knew is all of a sudden she stood there alone with Jake just a few feet away. He gave her a big grin and waited for her to move closer. When she looked behind Jake next to the waterfall she saw a picnic blanket spread open on the lavish green grass.
Jake took her hand and led her to the picnic blanket, he gently helped her to sit down and then silently sat beside her. He gave her a flute of champagne and took his.
“Baby, welcome to our first date.” Jake said smiling down at her, he clinked his glass against hers.
“How did you do all this?” She asked in amazement.
“ I had a few helpers. Are you hungry?” Jake gave her a smirk, knowing she loved food just as much as he did.
“Starving.” Then something hit her. “Jake you where the one that pressed the elevator buttons!” She gasped shocked. “I knew it!”
Jake chuckled and shook his head. “It was not me, baby, but it might have been one or two of my helpers.”
“You sneaky little …. Pig.” Grace said smiling at Jake. “Poor little Jane now has to do everything her brother tells her, poor little kid.” She continued shaking her head. She really did feel sorry for her.
“And you baby, have to give me everything I want and do what I tell you to.” Jake whispered in her ear, the tracing of her ear was ever present. Grace could not stop the moan that left her lips, as if Jake just waited for that little sound he pressed his lips to her neck leaving a hungry trail of hot moist kisses down to her collar bone. Grace felt like clay in his hands ready to be moulded in the shape he desired. Grace did not dare to talk as she knew she would just be a mumbling mess. Her brain got foggy and she could not think straight. Then when Jake got to her collar bone he spoke against her skin, sending chills down her spine. “I…” He kissed her throat after every word, all the way up to her chin. “Want… you… to… get… me…” He lifted his head to look her in her eyes, her eyes was cloaked in a fog of desire. Jake smiled when he saw that she wanted him as much as he wanted her. “Food.” He said as he sat up again and gave her time so her mind could get un-foggy and catch up to what he said.Almost instantly her mind cleared and she realised what just happened. Jake tricked her again. She felt so stupid for falling for his seduction once again. Then she decided that the next time she will be the one doing the seducing.
“What do we have?” She asked when she knew her voice would be stable again.
“Your favourite.” He said simply giving her a plastic container and taking one as well.Grace could not believe the delicious smell that came from her container of chicken nuggets and chips. She loved the diner’s food but this specific meal was her favourite.
“What do you have?” She asked as she saw him looking over at her to see if she was happy with her food.
“My favourite.” He simply said again. Grace gave him an eye roll, because she had no idea what it would be. Jake knew that it would be basically impossible for her to know what his favourite food where as they never talked about it before. He had the advantage, because he knew Anne would know what she liked at the diner. “Close your eyes.” He said and when she did not he added: “You have to. I want you to close your eyes.” Grace complied with his orders and closed her eyes. “Now open your mouth.”
“Jake if you dare to…” Before she could finish what she wanted say Jake slipped a piece of his food into her mouth. She nearly spat it on him, but stopped herself just in time. Her eyes flew open and she saw Jake with an amused smile looking back at her.
When she tasted the morsel in her mouth she nearly fainted. “I love you.” She moaned as she swallowed the last piece of chicken nugget he put into her mouth. Suddenly her words registered and a deep red blush started to rise to her cheeks again. She felt relieved to know the setting sun concealed her rising blush. “ I didn’t mean lo… love as in love… I… I meant… uhm… yeah.” ‘Well didn’t you know, the incoherent mumbling and then stuttering didn’t just happen when she got mad.’ She sarcastically chastised herself for it.
Jake gave a low chuckle making him sound extremely sexy. He knew she would be blushing and wished he could see it in this light. He rubbed the back of his neck and then he did the unsuspected. He took Graces food from her and pulled her on his lap. When she gave him a questioning look with her lips slightly parted he could not control himself anymore. His lips were on hers in an instant and he took the opportunity of her slightly open mouth to slip his tongue in her mouth. He could taste the saltiness of the chips she ate and the flavours of the nuggets. He ravished her lips and Grace kissed him back just as feverishly. She moved in his lap so she could straddle him, granting him better access to her mouth. Grace could feel the lava rising in the put of her stomach again as Jake’s lips left hers to suck and pull on her flesh. Her hands got tangled in his hair and his hands slipped under the back of her shirt, burning her skin. She moaned as he sucked on her neck and it made him crazy. He wanted more and he was afraid he would not be able to stop if he did not pull away from her at that instant. He really did not want to, but he decided that he had no choice.Slowly he pulled away from her and rested his head on her forehead. He looked in her lust filled eyes and softly kissed her nose. “I think we should get ready to leave. We still have a second part of the date. Damn, I want to kiss you.” This time she was the one to initiate the kiss again and Jake felt like he was the one melting this time.
“You are right we should go. It’s getting dark.” She said as she pulled away and stood up.
“Oh, hell no!” Jake exclaimed as he pulled her back on his lap, Grace’s laugh filled the night air.They gathered their stuff and Jake pulled Grace into him holding her by her hip with one hand. Grace rested her head on his shoulder, to the bystander thy looked madly in love. Grace wished she had the courage to tell Jake how she felt about him. When they reached the apartment building, Jake let go of her side and took her hand leading the way to the apartment. Grace was curious to know what the second part of the date was. She reckoned that they would just drop off the stuff at home and then he would tell her what they would be doing, but to her surprise in her apartment was the second part of the date.
