The Tycoon's Revenge(48)

She tried to make the best of the situation and entertained Jacob as much as possible. He had his sleepover and about ten boys came and spent the night. They were in love with the swimming pool and basketball court and couldn’t figure out which to do first.

They went from activity to activity until they were exhausted and crashed in the den, watching scary movies and filling up on junk food.

Jasmine continued to keep busy with her son and the wedding and soon almost an entire month had passed. Her wedding was coming up in a few more days and she was terrified. She’d barely spoken to Derek since they had moved in and she noticed she’d actually seek him out and find reasons to be in the same room. He didn’t seem to feel the same way. It was breaking her heart all over again.

It seemed to be the same story as when she was only an eighteen year old girl. He’d gotten what he wanted, so he didn’t want to be around her anymore. She was starting to really panic about the whole situation. She was already getting dependent on him once again and she knew Jacob was and she didn’t know if she was going to be able to pick up the pieces this time if he left them.





Jasmine was sitting in the library reading, which wasn’t unusual. Jacob was at a sleepover and Derek was at the office, late once again. The buzzer sounded alerting her someone wanted in the gate.

She knew it couldn’t be Drew or Ryan, as they had the code but she couldn’t figure out who else would be there so late in the evening. She got up and answered the ringing.

“Can I help you?” she asked, still feeling a little silly speaking into a box.

“It’s Amy. I have some materials for Derek,” said the sexy female voice.

Jasmine couldn’t understand why Derek would ever let one of his ex-girlfriends come to her house but she figured he didn’t care if he threw the woman in her face. She opened the gate and just hoped she was in and out quickly.

Jasmine met her at the door, because she wanted the visit ended soon. The woman looked like every man’s fantasy come to life in her incredibly short skirt, skin tight blouse and heels making her legs look like they were endless. She had red nails to match her red lipstick and Jasmine felt a bit intimidated, as she was standing there in her sweats, without make-up and her hair thrown back in a very messy bun.

“Thank you for bringing this over. I’ll give them to Derek as soon as he gets home,” Jasmine said, as she held out her hand to take the items.

“Oh, he hasn’t made it back yet?” the woman said, as if she knew exactly why he wasn’t there. Jasmine narrowed her eyes, no longer even pretending to be friendly.

“He’ll be home anytime,” Jasmine said.

“I know, I’m meeting him here. We do have a lot of business to take care of, so I’m sure you can find something else to do,” she suggested in a manner that implied her and Derek had a lot more to do than business. Jasmine’s first instinct was to toss the woman out on her doorstep, with her fist but she was a better person than that.

“Fine, you can wait in the den,” Jasmine said through gritted teeth. She decided if he was going to bring his tramps into the house this wouldn’t work. She was going to give him a piece of her mind later.

She lay down in the library to wait for him to come home and sleep finally overtook her. When she woke it was three in the morning. She sat up quickly and looked out the window. She was relieved to see Amy’s car was gone but still angry he’d asked the woman to her house. There were just some boundaries you didn’t cross.

She climbed up the stairs and went to his room. He wasn’t in there, so instead of searching the house from top to bottom, she decided to get some sleep and then confront him in the morning.

She quickly undressed and climbed beneath the covers. She felt a movement and was startled to find Derek in her bed. “What are you doing here?” she snapped, as she tried to jump from the bed. She was far too angry with him to do anything.

“I got sick of waiting for you to come to me and I’m tired of your bed,” he said, as he snaked his arm out to grab her before she could move away. When he realized she was completely naked, he groaned in pleasure and then she felt his lips connect with hers.

The second he started kissing her, she could feel her own body’s response. She attempted one more time to pull away but he simply increased the pressure of his mouth while his hands started rubbing over her curves.

They hadn’t been together in a month and she was just as hungry as he was. She gave up the fight and wrapped her hands around his head to pull him closer to her. She was burning and needed him to take it away. She forgot all about her worries and just let her body’s desire take over.
