The Suburbs

Chapter twenty-four

I'm in and out of the shower in record time. I'm eager to get downstairs and quiz Jacob on what he just said to Sara but I had to shower first. I'm still not overly comfortable with him seeing me so dressed down yet.

Droplets of water keep trickling down my back from my freshly washed hair but I don't have time to waste drying it. I throw on a pretty white tea party dress and grab another towel for my hair and head downstairs.

"Your little friend is back." Jacob smiles, gesturing towards Puss who has appeared at my patio door. As usual.

I glance at Puss but I'm too intrigued by what I saw to pay too much attention.

"What happened outside?" I press curiously.

"Well lots of things happen outside, can you be more specific?" He replies sarcastically to make me smile. But I'm not particularly feeling in a jokey mood.

"No, with Sara?"

"Oh! That. I just had a quick word. That's all."

"Wha-what? Why!?" My voice suddenly becomes high pitched and squeaky again. Seemingly a trend for today.

"Relax, I just told her to back off. That was all."

"Jake..." I roll my eyes so hard I'm surprised they're not stuck to the back of my head.
"Why did you do that? She was already pretty annoyed at me with what I'm doing. Well, what we're doing."

"Yeah I know. I heard her pissy little attitude as soon as I got to the front door. I don't need her stressing you out and making you doubt us."

"I do agree with that, but I just think she's worried, that's all."

"Look, I know this isn't exactly a fairytale beginning but you deserve better than having some goody goody judging your every choice. You don't need to be listening to all that." Jacob says firmly. I always know when he is wound up because he clenches his jaw. Frustratingly it's also one of the things I find irresistible about him.

"Okay, fine." I sigh, backing down a lot quicker than I had anticipated. Damn that clenched jaw.
"But in future, please just let me deal with Sara. I know she's a hot head, but she means well."

I get the feeling Jacob isn't used to being told what to do but he reluctantly nods his head in agreement anyway.

"Come here." He demands with a smile as his eyes drift up and down my body.

I take a few steps closer to where he is perched on the edge of my dining chair and as soon as I'm within reach, he gently pulls the bottom on my short dress to guide me in so that I'm standing in between his legs.

"You look absolutely beautiful, Mia." He whispers as his hands clasp tightly around the back of my legs and he looks up at me and studies my face. Almost as if he is appreciating every line and every feature that makes me, me.

"You're not so bad yourself." I say softly with a smirk across my lips.
To be fair he does look particularly good today. I can tell he has just come from his morning gym work out because he is in much more relaxed clothing, just a white t-shirt with short cuffed sleeves, showing off his big arms and a pair of light grey jogger shorts. I love this look.

Gently, Jacob places a kiss onto my stomach through my dress. I can feel his warm lips through the fabric  and I must admit it's making my heart rate speed up a little.
I look down to see Jacob bending his head down lower as I feel the kisses pushing against my hip bone and eventually towards my inner thigh.

I gasp at the excitement which I can tell made him laugh a little because I feel his hot breath suddenly against my skin.

Every part of my body suddenly feels extra sensitive.
I can feel my skin heating up and my heart beat beginning to thump so loudly I can feel it all over my body. Particularly between my legs.

I close my eyes and my jaw drops open slightly as I feel Jacobs tongue slide over my opening through my knickers.

"Fuck." I whimper as I let my head roll back in enjoyment, allowing myself to fully sink into this moment.

I use my hand to steady myself carefully against the table and with my other free hand I run it through his hair and grip it tightly whilst he continues to swipe his tongue over me.

My knickers are getting wetter with each stroke of his tongue but at this point I really couldn't care less.

His hands travel up to my bum cheeks and grips them hard in his palms as he continues pushing his tongue against me until I moan.
I thrust my hips a little so that I'm pushing myself harder onto his mouth.
My knees are buckling under all his teasing but I feel his grip steady me.

My fast breathing turns to more of a pant and I know  I'm getting close.

Unexpectedly, I stop feeling his tongue against me and instead a few gentle kisses on my inner thigh resume.

"That's enough for one day."

"Huh?" I manage to say through flustered breaths.

"That's why I came over. To invite you to spend the weekend with me whilst Elle is away. But first I wanted to give you an idea of what's to come and hopefully you won't say no."

He looks so smug as he leans back into the chair and watches how red and dishevelled I now am.

"You're a prick." I mumble as I catch my breath and I take a step back to pull down my dress and compose myself.

"I take it that's a yes?" He smirks confident enough that I'll agree.

"Okay, fine I will. I would love to in fact. But after that little stunt, I will absolutely not be tempted again and we will definitely keep it to a PG version this weekend."

If anything that just makes Jacob's eyes gleam as he shakes his head at me and let's out a chuckle.

"I'll believe it when I see it."

"Eurgh! You're so cocky!" I sigh in frustration and throw a sofa pillow at him, which just makes him chuckle harder.

"Ok, ok. This'll be interesting. We'll see who caves first." He says with a over confident grin and heads for the front door.

"Did anyone ever tell you that you can be incredibly arrogant?"

"Funnily enough, yes. Has anyone ever told you that you're a lot of fun in hot tubs?" He fires back with a telling smile that just makes me want to throw something harder at him.

God he drives me crazy.

"Get out!" I playfully yell.

Just as I see the front door about to close, he pops his head back round.

"Don't forget your bikini!" He simply says with a wink, before closing the door.
