Jared responded right away without even having to think about it, so I knew he was telling me the truth. I couldn't conceal the smile spreading across my face. It was laughable to me because not too long ago, I wasn't interested in a relationship with him at all. Today, I wanted him more than anything. I could sense the bond between us growing stronger ever since the night he called, interrupting the bonfire at the beach with my friends.
He's demonstrated his loyalty to me, even after being rejected by my friends and family. "It's been a long time since a man said that he loved me and meant it."
"Well, I can promise you this much, I will always respect and treat you right. You know, despite my sometimes questionable choices, I'm really not that bad of a guy. Of course, I've got my flaws, we all do, but a common misconception about me that I hate, is that I cannot be faithful to any woman. So, let me tell you the absolute truth Cassie Warren, I am a one woman man when I'm in a serious relationship." He leaned in a little closer.
"I value your honesty more than you know."
He leaned in again, kissing me tenderly. I let out a whimper in anticipation, ready to drag him down the beach to our condo.
Embracing me, his lips brushed my ear and he whispered. "Wanna know a secret? When I nodded my head yes, he whispered again. "I don't really want children either."
"I don't believe that's really a secret Jared. Can't picture you with children of your own." I seriously couldn't imagine kids in his busy life, but it warmed my heart that he felt the need to share.
"And why not?"
"I don't know, I can picture you as Jared the dominant, Jared the musician, Jared the actor, and Jared the sweet guy who stood up to my parents and then brought me to Maui for my birthday. Somehow Jared the father doesn't quite fit."
Shrugging, I noticed he didn't argue. A pinkish orange haze was cast over the beautiful water as the sun started to dip beyond the horizon. What a fucking perfect day. All of these feelings and honesty made the fact that he was still my bitch for about thirty minutes, slip my mind. I simply couldn't stop myself from snickering at the thought of him agreeing to do what he was told. The vision of Jared cuffed with his hands behind his back and kneeling with a ball gag in his mouth came to mind. Or perhaps positioned across my lap as I struck his naked ass with my hand, like he had done me so many times. I giggled loudly and when he asked what I was laughing at, I lied and told him it was a childhood memory, but refused to go any further with it. "Alright, enough of this, let's go." I demanded.
If his kiss wouldn't have been so sweet, I'd have certainly rushed us back to the condo to take advantage of the last twenty something minutes I had left of my hour as the boss. His lips brushed against mine as he spoke. Goosebumps formed on my skin when his fingers traced along my jaw. He took my hand and we strolled back toward the condo.
Stepping inside, I instantly looped my fingers into his blue swim trunks and tugged him closer. His hand moved around the back of my neck, holding me against him. I thrust my tongue into his mouth with a whimper. Without any warning, his fingers tangled in my hair and gave a swift yank. His mouth broke free of mine and the grip on the back of my hair tightened slightly, forcing my head back. Lost in the moment, I completely resigned to the fact that he will forever be the dominant one between us. I wasn't nearly assertive enough to manage that much power and he knew it.
God, I loved when he was a little rough with me. The shiver that ran up my spine when his teeth sank into my collarbone, made me absolutely crazy with need.
I sauntered toward the bedroom, not knowing what to expect. He followed directly behind me, forcing the door closed and leaning his body against it, just staring at me. I tugged the blue tank I had worn on top of my new bathing suit, over my head. Jared pulled his hair up into a bun as he leaned down to take out something from his bag laying on the floor. He stepped closer, dangling the furry blue set of handcuffs from his finger. "Are you ready to have some real fun?"
