Falling Just as Hard CHAPTER EIGHT
JAKEThe moment we finally got back Olivia went straight to the room I prepared for her opposite mine and didn’t come out till this morning.I don’t blame her thought. It was clear she was pretty exhausted after all the shopping and makeover yesterday as Kyle had insisted.I liked it though. She now looked more like the kind of woman father would pick out for me.With her now waxed skin and new hair that had been styled into big shiny waves that cascaded down her back she even looked like someone I would pick up at the club just because our eyes met across the room.I glanced at my watch, any minute and we were going to be late for breakfast with my parents.The clicking of heels on the tiled floor had me turning and my mouth hanging open at the sight of Olivia.She was dressed in the red dress I had picked put for her and it still didn’t do justice to her body. The one I had the privilege of seeing in a lingerie.She tucked a strand of hair behind her ears and stared at her shoes, “D
Falling Just as Hard CHAPTER NINE
JAKEOlivia is crying.For the first time she lets me open the door for her and she sits quietly, leaning towards the door. Anything to be away from me.I wish I knew the things going on in her head. She sniffs back a time and wipes her face which only makes me feel worse.Swerving out of the parking lot I put on the radio at the highest volume possible but still no reaction from her.I half expect her to at least reach over and turn it off. She doesn’t. I put off the radio, letting us drown in silence.It was hard dealing with Olivia, she wasn’t like the other girls that threw themselves at me. Every other person wanted me with them but with her it was hard because she wasn’t trying to impress me. If anything she was only with me now because of money.My hands clutch the steering wheel tighter. And needed to get back on her good side because this is awful.“Look I’m sorry about what I said, I shouldn’t have…it wasn’t in my place” I say but she doesn’t even turn to me.“There is nothi
Falling Just as Hard CHAPTER TEN
OLIVIA I wake up to warmth, a luxury that I couldn’t afford in the past and snuggle deeper into my pillow.For some reason the pillow had muscled arms that fit perfectly around me. It was comforting to say the least.I’d do anything to wake up like this every morning for the rest of my life.I try to roll over but my pillow holds me tighter, making me its captive.A smile breaks out on my face, my people doesn’t want me to leave. It felt nice but I’d have to get up one way or another.“What are you smiling about this early in the morning?” My pillow asks and I marvel at its deep voice that sends a vibration through me.I giggle “It’s about you holding me tighter, you want me to remain in bed”. There’s no reply from my pillow.“This feels really nice you know, you’re so warm and it makes me feel safe” I say to fill the silence between us.“We can sleep like this all the time if you want” It offers and I blush a deep pink.“I would love that” I say immediately before it changed its min
Falling Just as Hard CHAPTER ELEVEN
JAKEI’m having a good dream, it has Olivia in it instead of the red head that I got with last weekend at the club.The reaction my body has to dream is instant and its not a surprise. Her black eyes are drawing me in, threatening to drown me and put me completely under.My eyes linger down to her chest and the luscious curves that she hides all the time with her manly clothes.But I’m not one to complain because I alone can see her like this because she was comfortable enough to let me.Olivia leans towards me and I can instantly read her intentions so I lean towards her, our lips almost touching.It’s the perfect moment, so imagine my shock when there a loud bang that has my eyes flying open and the sweet scene in front of my eye disappears.But it is replaced with something even better.Olivia is standing in front of me in nothing but the black lingerie I had bought for her. If I thought the red one was the sexiest one then this it looks like I was clearly wrong.I don’t realize sh
Falling Just as Hard CHAPTER TWELVE
OLIVIAIt’s easy to tell the way Jake sees me has changed these past days. He looks at me now like a man would look at a woman.I don’t know how to feel about it but it makes me smile and my cheeks turn pink, which he of course teases me about.It’s even evident in the way he opens the car door for me and waits to make sure I’m comfortable first before closing it.No one has ever done these things for me, no one has ever made me feel wanted or needed like he does.When he starts the car it brings me back to our predicament. Jake’s father invited us to his impromptu retirement party.Jake must have seen my fidgeting hands on my lap because he reaches off and gives it a squeeze, “Don’t worry you’ll be fine, I’ll be your side all evening”.Somehow that calms my nerves and I flash him a smile. We drive off and hit the road when Jake puts on the radio to some country music.I scowl at him before changing to a random station. I could endure anything but not country music for any reason. It
Falling Just as Hard CHAPTER THIRTEEN
OLIVIAWhen the sun rises the next day I wake up wearing Jake’s clothes with no memory of putting them on.It smells so much like him that I never want to take off. It’s a mixture of night life and an ocean scent.I snug deeper into his bed, it was sad that he wasn’t here when I woke up. Having him put his arms around me was the best I’ve felt in my life. Or at least close to it.I’m getting out of bed when a certain pair of hazel eyes flash in my head. I’m not sure yet what to make of what she told me at the party.Asking Jake might be improper and he might get defensive, it’ll even turn out worse if she lying.I mean his supposed father was leaving his entire company in his hands, that meant he had a lot of trust in Jake.Maybe it was nothing. Just sibling rivalry and I was now choosing to stay out of it. Whatever was going on with his family was not my concern. Besides I wasn’t even his real wife.When I follow his voice I find him in the kitchen making coffee. He slides me a mug f
Falling Just as Hard CHAPTER FOURTEEN
JAKE I’ve never seen Olivia look this excited about going somewhere so it makes me uneasy. Like she’s going to pull a stunt, especially after our little exchange.Except our exchange wasn’t that little to me. I still remember the way her body responded to mine.Olivia says she’s not attracted to men, not into me but it’s undeniable how much her body wants me.The way her cheeks flush and a blush rises from her neck to the parting of her lips. Inviting to taste their cherry sweetness.But, there’s always this little but at the back of my head whenever it came to Olivia.It’s obvious Kyle is not so happy with the club idea but I think he prefers it to staying in my apartment while Olivia and I argued.When she steps out in her cargo pants and tiny straps of clothing that cover her boobs just fair enough, I know that it’ll be a long eventful night.The club is crowded when we finally make it in through. Loud music instantly attacks my ear as coloured lights danced across my face.Olivia
Falling Just as Hard CHAPTER FIFTEEN
OLIVIAMy entire body is aware of every point where my bare skin meets Jake’s to where his warmth send ripples of pleasure along my being.I’m not sure how we ended in this position. All I remember is meeting a fine blonde with baby blue eyes and taking her home with me, her name was Ashley, Natalie? I’m not sure.I can feel his arousal press deep into my stomach while he’s asleep.I want to touch him, after part of him. Most importantly I want to know why I feel this way for way for him.Yes, he’s handsome but he’s not the only handsome boy I’ve ever come across. He’s funny but he’s not the only funny guy I’ve known.Maybe it’s the way he touches me, but other men have touched me in the past and it didn’t make me feel this way.Many tried to force these reactions out of me but I felt nothing until the first day I kissed Jess.We’d met at a club. I was new in town and lost and she was trying to rebel against her rich parents.I envied her but she envied me, to be able to go as pleased
