Jade whipped out her phone from her purse, which she had earlier dropped on the floor. Her hands trembled when Cale's name was displayed on the screen. Only one thought passed through her mind.
'I hope nothing happened to him.'
"Jade... where are you?" A voice cried over the phone as soon as she answered. Jade's heart fell through when she heard Mrs Stuart voice.
"Mom?" She called out in fear. She didn't want to hear what she most feared.
Helen Stuart was Cale's adoptive mother, who was highly fond of Jade and saw her as her own daughter. She loved Jade like her own and could only wish Jade and her son would end up together soon.
"Jade...It's Cale," Mrs Stuart said as she cried hysterically.
Jade stiffened at her words. Her heart constricted tightly.
"What...happened to Cale?" She asked in a small voice, almost in a whisper, but her fears were evident in it.
"The doctor said he had a hypovolemic shock because his kidney is bleeding out. He needs surgery immediately, but..but Jade, we still don't have the money," She said as she continued crying.
"Money? I'll send the money to you right away," She said as she slowly turned to a red-faced Jake before turning her back to him again.
"How will you.." Helen tried saying, but Jade cut in.
"Get the doctors to save him. Nothing will happen to him. He'll be fine," She said convincingly, not so sure if she was actually trying to convince herself or Cale's mom.
"Okay...Thank you, Jade," Mrs Stuart said in light sobs before disconnecting the call. Jade stood fixed to the same spot with the phone to her ear. She was scared by Mrs Stuart words over the phone. 'Cale, you better not die on me', she said in her heart.
She was startled when she felt a warm pair of hands on her arms, which slowly turned her around, "Can I please have the money now. I'm definitely not leaving tonight, but...can I get it first?" She said softly without meeting his gaze. She was too embarrassed with herself to look at him.
Jake looked at her for a split second; her eyes seemed sad, and he didn't know why that was. And he also didn't know why she bothered him this much.
He pulled out his phone and opened his banking app, "Here, put in your bank details and the amount you'd like", Jake said, handing the phone to her.
Jade slowly reached out for it and put in the right details and the amount she needed to save Cale. She looked at the phone for a while before handing it back. She looked at the amount she had put in; it was not a single cent more than required.
That was the cost of her body...her love. She shook her head lightly to take such derailing thoughts out of her head. She had to believe she was doing this for the right cause.
Jade confirmed the transaction, which he showed to her. He looked at her and their gaze met.
"So, can I have you now?" He asked in a husky voice, making Jade bit her lips as she responded with a simple nod, her heart racing frantically.
"You won't hold back again?" He asked huskily as he took a step closer and raised her chin with his finger, and she nodded again.
His eyes looked deep into hers like he was a search of a mythical treasure.
"I want to kiss you till we both run out of breath and you can't keep up", He whispered into her ears before looking back at her. He brushed her lower lip with his thumb, prompting her to purse her lips.
Jade's eyes suddenly fell on his thin, firm lips as he leaned in and kissed her softly, with his hands snaking around her waist and pulling her closer against him.
There it was again, the kiss of this stranger that felt so right ....so good.
Jade slowly wrapped her hands around his waist and let him kiss her. She surrendered to his kiss because she knew no other way. She wanted to be repulsed by it, but she repulsed herself more for liking every bit of it. He devoured her lips like his life depended on it.
Jake deepened the kiss as he moved his hands over Jade's body. The body that felt right in his arms. Jade let out a soft moan which heightened Jake's desires as he pushed her onto the bed.
He slowly lowered his body to the bed as he took off her shoes one after the other while stealing glances at her. She looked so beautiful with her eyes tightly closed.
Jake began to plant kisses on her legs as he slowly moved upwards to her thighs, making Jade quiver involuntarily.
He smirked when he noticed how naive her body was. He headed for her lips to calm her down. He held her hands over her head as he kissed her breathless with no second to breathe. She arched her back when he nipped her jaw, her neck and her ears. His hands didn't miss a beat in sliding down and searching for the zip of her dress. His moves were smooth as he let her out of her dress deftly.
"You have a beautiful body," He said in a deep sexy voice between raspy breaths, as his eyes lustfully followed through every curve of her body. Jake bit his lips sexily as he filled his eyes with her gorgeous body.
Jade couldn't control the sudden pounding of her heart as she laid on the bed watching Jake take off his clothes, revealing a well-built body, which he had chiselled by working out.
From his gait, she had earlier guessed that he worked out. Jade's heart thumped wildly as Jake's dark eyes remained on her as he stripped himself bare. Her eyes followed his sculpted waist and narrowed hips that were rippling with strong muscles as he lowered his body on hers. She could feel the warm, smooth glide of his skin on his muscled shoulders and chest, the weight of his tall broad from over her body.
She shuddered underneath him as his hands moulded around the swell of her breast as he squeezed on them. His mouth followed the trail of her exposed body until he freed her breasts from the restraints of her lace bra.
Jade's mind went blank under the scorching gaze of his hazel eyes, which was erupting a flare of fire on her skin as his mouth brushed through her body to her hardened nipples.
She subconsciously raked her hands through his dark brown hair. She gripped the sheets tightly at the different sensations soaring through her every nerve fibre.
Jade bit her lips in embarrassment at every moan that slipped through her lips, but she couldn't hold back because she was too far gone. She tried telling herself that this was just business and nothing pleasurable, but her body responded otherwise.
Jake fingers slipped into the garters of her panties as he slowly eased them off her. He went down there.. kissed, fingered, loved and pleasured every bit of her. Jade felt like passing out on all these feelings....feelings she never knew actually existed. He reached for something in the side drawer...protection.
He came back up and held her in place before hugging and kissing her again. Jake took a quick look at Jade, whose eyes were tightly closed. He was overwhelmed with the outburst of hormones in his body at the sight of this woman, and that's when he pushed inside her breaking all her barriers, making her groan in pain as she tightly gripped on the sheets with her toes digging onto the bed.
Jade winced in pain but promptly forgot about it when Jake kissed her deeply as he slightly pulled out of her. Reducing the intensity of his thrust, Jade clamped her legs around him, giving him full access to her. What followed was a slow yet most sensually and pleasurable overwhelming sensation she'd ever felt.
Jake was demanding but gentle as he coaxed her to her own release before his.
He collapsed down on her after their moment of ecstasy, panting breathlessly as Jade slowly fell asleep.
'Damn! that was good' he said in his head.
