Take a Breath(78)

I giggle and wave my feet about as he takes me to the showers and places me gently on the floor. He starts the shower up as I put my leg up on the bidet to unhook my suspender belt.

“My God, that’s a sexy sight.”

I look at him, smile and we take our shower lathering each other up. Once dried, I put on a tank top and boxer shorts and we head downstairs to have a quick snack.

I opt for some cereal and fruit and Jake puts on a couple of slices of toast. We’re sitting eating when Matthew comes through the door. I check the clock and find it’s already 11.20pm.

“Hey, you guys are still up?”

I watch him, smiling.

“What?” Matthew asks.

“Come on then tiger. Who’s this Cindy, and how long have you been hiding her?”

Jake looks as eager for him to answer the question as I am.

“We’ve been hanging out—you know—for a couple of months now. I didn’t want to say anything as I didn’t know how it was going to go, but I really like her.”

“Well by the look I saw on her face I’d say the feeling is mutual.”

Matthew seemed contented by my remark.

“You’ll have to invite her round for dinner sometime then; if you like her that much, son.”

Matthew nodded and smiled at Jake. “Clive was all up in my face about you two when we left.”

I wince. “I’m really sorry about that, Matthew. I didn’t think.”

“It’s okay, but he wouldn’t shut up about it. I kept telling him to concentrate on his girl instead of asking me questions about what’s going on at home between you two.”

Oh dear.

“I feel really bad now, Matthew. I’m so sorry.”

He came and gave me a hug and told me not to worry.

“I better hit the hay. Got school tomorrow and I’m feeling beat.” He dragged his feet.

“Don’t you want something to eat?” Jake asks.

“No, Dad, I’m fine. We all went for a pizza after the match, so I’m good to go.”

We said our goodnights and off he went up to bed. Very soon after, I could feel how heavy my eyes were feeling.

“Come on. We have to be up in just over six hours.”

I gave him that look.

“Ana, I could never be that tired. Once the alarm goes off, you’ll just have to lie there and think of England.”

I laugh loudly. “As if I could ever do that with you.”

We put our plates away in the dishwasher and he lifts me up to carry me upstairs.

“You don’t have to keep carrying me everywhere, but I could get used to this you know.”

He kisses me tenderly. “So could I, Ana. So could I.”





Chapter 24





Again the alarm goes off at 6am, and again I want to go back to sleep, but the feel of Jake nibbling my ear gets all my senses going into overdrive. Once again, he has me at his mercy.

“Jake, you’re incorrigible.”

He inhales the scent on my neck. “Hmm, I just can’t get enough of you.”

His hands suddenly feel like they’re everywhere, as I’m gently pulled out of my sleep into perfect bliss. Will it ever stop feeling like this?

I turn to face him as I reach down and grab his cock. It is throbbing against my touch, as he moans in appreciation.

“Always so ready, Mr Bennett,” I whisper.

He moves on top of me and places his hand on my sex. “I could say the same for you, Miss Sinclair.”





After another spell bounding morning in bed, we get ourselves ready. I decide on a nice white and pink floral dress for today. I grab a muffin and juice for Joe and make my way outside.

“Oh, you’re not Joe,” I say, surprised once I get to the car.

Steve laughs. “No, Joe’s on days. He should be heading to work now.”

I feel remorseful all of a sudden. “Sorry, I didn’t realise it was you in the car when we got back. I thought I was waving to Joe last night.”

A look of guilt comes across my face remembering how eager I was just to get back home to execute my plan.

“Don’t sweat it, Ana.”

I hand him the muffin and juice and head back into the house. Jake lightly pats my backside as we say our goodbyes to Matthew.

Again it’s another beautiful sunny day, with not a cloud in the sky. I feel nervous about going in to work after how upset I became yesterday, but I have to get on. I can’t let it rule me.

I suddenly remember with annoyance that I won’t have Jessie with me today. I wonder how she got on last night. I pull my phone out to text her, but remember that it’s early and that she may be having a lie in. I don’t think she would appreciate me texting if she were. I then wonder if I should text, Tony, but I’m still a little baffled by his behaviour the other day. It could be that he was just a little delirious from his fever.
