***Bethany’s Pov***I seized one of the chairs, sat down, and vehemently refuted his claim. My patience was tested by Jacob's presence, and I feared that the mask I was wearing would fall off. From time to time, I would glance at him over my shoulder, and he seemed to be oblivious about it.“Eat slowly and savor the food,” he advised me.I pretended to be hungry in order to get away from him as quickly as possible. Although I disliked the superficial nature of his concern for my well-being, I could not help but feel my heart flutter whenever he was so close to me. When I looked up to see him, I observed that he was staring at me, so I raised my eyebrows in response.He remarked, “Bethany, you look incredible tonight.”When he attempted to flatter me with flowery language, I simply rolled my eyes. As if it would make my stomach rumble with pleasure! Did he believe I would once again fall for his words? When I was at a loss for words to put him in his place, I joked, “Stop staring at me
***Bethany’s Pov***The boatman waited on the boardwalk, and his face darkened when he saw my companion. He scowled at Jacob, then at me, and he remarked, “You must be close to him since he accompanied you up to this point.”Liam nodded in agreement as I stated, “No, but when I told him you were coming here, he insisted on going back to the mainland with me.” For a moment, he furrowed his brows, and then I used the opportunity to approach him when Jacob wasn’t watching and whispered something into his ear. “However, I would appreciate it if you did not allow him to board the boat.” He chuckled. Jacob frowned upon hearing his laughter, which was masked by the waves.“I like you. I mean, I like your grit.”I winked at him and said, “I don't mind having a hot friend.”As I preferred conversing with the boatman, Jacob appeared out of place aboard the magnificent boat. Because he has a good sense of humor, I liked his corny jokes. Jacob attempted to separate me from his friend, but the boa
***Bethany’s Pov***I was so exhausted that all I wanted to do was sleep. Slowly approaching my bed, I quickly turned off all of the lights. I enjoyed sleeping in the dark because it gave me peace of mind that no one was watching me. Jillian was already snoring when I arrived earlier, and I had to shower first before I could touch her.I was lying in my bed, staring at the ceiling, when I considered calling Jacob but decided against it because it wouldn't make a difference. In my dream, however, I was visited by the man with whom I fell in love five years ago. No, it was a nightmare from which I awoke drenched in sweat!I observed that it was only four o'clock in the morning after glancing at the clock. My hands went to my eyes and rubbed them as if there were sands inside, and I walked towards the bathroom to wash my face while squinting.After washing my face, I decided to check my phone. Actually, I usually read the latest news or happenings on my phone, and the headlines caused my
***Bethany Pov***Five minutes after the woman had left, my phone rang with an unidentified number. Perhaps it's Jacob Summers. Impossible! He couldn't be that quick, right? “Hello?” I answered the phone when it rang.“This is me,” he said on the other end of the line.When I heard his husky voice, I was immediately transported to five years ago, when he would frequently call me late at night. I was unable to utter his name, so I stammered, “H-hi. A-Are you okay?” I immediately regretted asking him that question.“And what about you? What do you think about this?” I could tell by his tone that he was exhausted and defeated when he inquired.He must have been affected by the negative publicity, and I felt compelled to console him. I said “I'm sorry” even though I didn't have to.“Bethany, do it in person. Let's meet tonight at 7:00 pm,” he stated. “Will you be working today?” He asked.I barely managed to maintain my composure and clear my throat before responding, “No, today is my day
***Bethany’s Pov***I furrowed my brows in response to his sarcastic remarks because he was implying that I was stupid or ignorant regarding their business. I informed him, “I don't think I'll be able to dine with you tonight,” as it would be impossible to dine with someone who despised my presence.“I was joking,” he stated.I shook my head and replied, “No, you were not joking. You attempted to offend me!”“I'm sorry,” he expressed regret.Hearing him apologize was novel to me. It wasn't his style to apologize without a valid reason, but I chose to disregard his apology without further investigation. “You had better feed me well tonight,” I warned him.“I intend to,” he responded.With a pair of blue denim pants and a white t-shirt, Jacob sported a casual yet attractive look. Even though it was dark inside the car, I closed my eyes. I reminded myself to stop staring at the handsome man standing next to me.He announced, “Let's go.”I responded, “Good,” and attempted to open the door
***Bethany’s POV***Jacob wasted no time and continued the kiss that I had initiated. His hands groped my breasts as our tongues fought like swords within our mouths. As he struggled against my softness, I gradually elevated my hips above him until he became as hard as iron.“Allow me to make love to you, Bethany,” he said as he instantly shifted our positions. Then he entered my body, and our bodies began to sway to an invisible rhythm.I closed my eyes and relished every second of his intense desire. As his thrust became deeper and harder, I wailed loudly with his name. I had not felt loved in bed for a very long time, and I missed it. When he accelerated his movement, I called out his name, and he covered my mouth, causing me to continuously moan.I slowly opened my eyes and noticed that he was staring at me as he accelerated. Our eyes, as well as our bodies, were locked, and it was the most erotic sensation I'd ever experienced.I wasn’t prepared for the intense rush of pleasure I
***Bethany’s POV***I was powerless to stop him while his touch performed miracles on my body. The blanket I was using to conceal my lack of clothing was taken from me. He whispered, “Beautiful,” before stroking me in ways only he was authorized to do.With my permission, he was free to do whatever he pleased with my body. “Please take me,” I begged.He assured me, “Later, baby,” and I placed my trust in him.I was caught off guard by the sudden removal of his own garments, and I tried to avert my eyes from his maturing physique, but I was unable to. When we felt the need to satisfy one another, our breathing became irregular.I was immediately terrified and had second thoughts about my actions. His gaze questioned my reluctance, and I could do nothing but stare at him. I was speechless and unable to resist his seductive behavior.To gain greater access to my moisture, Jacob shifted his position. He slowly formed a circle with his middle and index fingers on my clitoris and then relea
***Bethany Pov***Jacob insisted on driving me home, but I declined. What transpired between us was unanticipated, and I did not want him to believe it was exceptional. It should have no significance for both of them! Since Jessica and Jillian were in the resort, the unit was quiet, and I suddenly missed her. After closing the front door, I went directly to my bedroom to sleep.I was already in bed when I informed my boss Maximilian Dimitri Navarro that I needed a few days off, and I then slid under the blanket. I knew it was cowardly, but the only way I could escape reality was by sleeping. However, I was startled to hear someone banging on the door from outside the apartment. I went outside to investigate, annoyed at the interruption.“Boss!” I exclaimed upon spotting my supervisor outside of the unit. My eyes lost their drowsiness almost instantly. He entered quietly after I said, “Enter.” Can you tell me the reason for your visit?”“Normally, you don't take a few days off from wo
