Her lips were silky and soft and Jake would have kissed them forever if he could. He traced her face with his hands and the action caused Amanda to moan. She melted into his kiss like heated chocolate. Her hands explored his back, defining how strong his muscles were. The heat that radiated from him was mind-numbing. In a split second, Jake had her back on the wall and she wrapped her legs around him. She had never been more aroused. All her senses were heightened and she could feel her body dancing in the rhythm to his. They moved wonderfully and their lips created sparks that exploded in her head. "What?" She said in between breaths as Jake trailed his lips down her neck."I want you. I want you right now," his breath was ragged as he spoke and his hands had found their way to her nipples. He caressed it and Amanda moaned in response."Jake," she said softly. The sound ignited a flame in Jake and he hasten his actions, massaging her breasts till her head was thrown back. He then l
"Okay, I can't think of anything," Amanda admitted. "We are going to see Sasha today," Jake said and ignored the look of pure dread that was seen on Amanda's face."We?" She dropped the cup of coffee and asked."Yes, we. Look, Sasha is a nice person and I am sure that you guys will get along perfectly. And you can use this chance to apologize." The smile was still on Jake's face and nothing annoyed Amanda more. Did she ever tell him that she wants to apologize to him? "I'm not going." She looked into space, avoiding his brown eyes. She felt like she wouldn't be able to stand her ground if she did. After last night, she felt an overwhelming attraction to him. Everything he said was everything she wanted to do, just to make him happy. Her mother wouldn't be happy about it."Why not? Amanda, look at me. Why won't you be going?" "Because Jake I am not ready for any more drama with that girl. There is this big history between you two and I don't want to come in between that.""What big
The room went dark as Sasha tried to run away from Amanda. Amanda didn't say a word, she enjoyed watching her tremble in her presence. She stayed mute and allowed Sasha to run around in fear. The young lady sprang from her bed when the nurses didn't hear her deafening screams for help. Amanda was careful to not touch her, she followed her movements with her eyes. It would be so easy to kill her in this state. But she couldn't, Jake would know that she did it and jail would become her new home.Sasha frantically found her way out of the room. She didn't turn back to see if the witch was following her. All she did was wrong, she ran like her life depended on it and it did. The one minute she turned to observe if the woman was following her, she stumbled into a hard chest."No! Let go of me!" She screamed while beating the owner of the body."Sash, calm down. It's me, Jake, calm down." Jake tried his best to calm the woman but she insisted on inflicting bodily harm on her capture."I sai
Jake heaved a sigh as he looked into the room where Sasha was battling for her life again because of him. He didn't deserve to have her as a friend and worse, to be so close to him. He was starting to see that all he brought her was pain. Even in their high school days, it would always be because of him that she would get into trouble. Often than not, she took full responsibility and was always punished for his crimes. She was the best friend any man could ever ask for. He had hoped that when he had enough money, he would take care of her and not send her to the hospital, twice. He had to start doing right by her. It was past time."She is going to be alright babe," Amanda offered her pointless words of encouragement but they didn't matter to Jake that much. What he wanted to know was why Sasha would say such things."What did you do when you went in there?" He asked with a sceptical look on his face."What are you talking about? You're the one who told me to go say hello to her and s
"Doc, please tell me that you have good news for me?" Jake said as he hurried to meet the doctor."Mr. Swanson, I think it will be best if we discuss this in my office." The doctor's voice sounded pale and weak, Jake had to fight back the tears that threatened to fall."Is it that bad?" He asked."Please, come with me," the doctor insisted and motioned his hand in the direction he wanted Jake to move. Jake turned soberly to Amanda and noticed a shimmer in her eyes. His face immediately contorted to a look of confusion. Amanda couldn't actually be happy that Sasha was in this mess, could she?"Babe, can you stay with her while I go meet the doctor?" "I can't go in there again." Just the thought of seeing the woman made her stomach turn. She couldn't spend a minute with her and someone Jake wanted her to stand by her side. She didn't think so."But babe, who will watch over her?""God. Yes, I said it! Jake, that woman thinks I want to kill her again. If I go in there, she might develop
Jake's head was fuzzy as he stepped outside the doctor's office. His body was partly numb, his senses had stopped working and his brain went on a drive. It was his fault. It was his fault that Sasha had a traumatic condition that triggered her illness to come alive, it was his fault that everything was falling apart. It was all his fault. The thoughts that ran through his head made it difficult for him to maintain his stance, and his vision was also compromised as things appeared blurry to him. His breathing got heavier and Jake stretched his hand to find something to hold on to. His hands finally touched a stretcher that was lying aimlessly along the path of the hallway. Jake had always known that he brought bad luck to everyone around him but he never knew just how bad it was. It was because of him and his reckless behavior that his aunt died, it was because of him that his parents died and now because of him, his best friend was doomed. Everyone he loves, he hurts. Tears came to h
Jake took fast steps as he approached his wife and the friend who almost put him in jail. He didn't know what they were discussing but he was sure that they were up to no good. Maybe if his emotions did not overcloud his thoughts, he would have steadied and listened in to their conversation but anger has a way of making a man do crazy things."Marion!" He thundered as he approached them. The young man turned around but his expression wasn't that of fear, it was that of joy. Jake took a step back, he had expected that Marion would look frightened like he had just been caught sleeping with another man's wife but his facial expression showed nothing of that sort. He narrowed his eyes, finally allowing his brain to think."Jake!" Marion bellowed and pulled him in for a hug. "Man, it's so nice to see you again." Jake's hands stayed in the air, frozen and unable to hug Marion back. "What are you doing with my wife?" He asked when his body was free from Marion's own. "Well, I ran into your
'Didn't I finish my job with him? Why is he still calling me?' Jake thought as he answered the call."Jake, my most reliable supplier. How are you?" He sounded too excited for Jake to believe that everything was fine. He was aware that he would have to go back again but he didn't know that it would have to be so soon and listening to Levi's excited tone, he knew that the man would force him to do that."Levi, what's up?" All his prayers for it to just be a breeze in the park conversation didn't get to Heaven because Levi's next words proved to him that he would be needed."We need you, man. There is this tough client that we can't break through and we saw what you did with Betty. You worked that bitch real good, so we took the liberty of informing the chairman about it and he wants you to be in charge of all our top clients. We are meeting one in the next hour and we need you, bro."'Their boss was involved? They told the chairman about me? No, this is just bad news waiting to be spre
