Tempting Tessa Page 7

  “Yes!” he replies ecstatically. “Can I play some more after I'm done eating?” he asks, pulling out the puppy dog eyes.

  “Probably for a little while longer. We need to get home early enough to get laundry going and make dinner. And you have pre-school tomorrow so you need to get to bed on time tonight. Are you excited for your last week of pre-school?”

  “Yes, but I’m going to miss Ms. Rachel,” he says with a sad face.

  “I know, buddy. She has been an awesome teacher this year, but I’m sure that you’ll love your kindergarten teacher in the fall,” I tell him, trying to cheer him up.

  Ty finishes his lunch and runs back out to play. Jake and I just fall into an easy silence enjoying the nice weather. I am still leaning on him with his arms wrapped around me and it just feels so damn right.

  “What is your work schedule like this week? How is your big job going?” I ask as I turn so I can see him better, but still be wrapped in his arms.

  “Things for me in the office have slowed down as far as estimates go, since we are fully booked for the rest of the building season. I now just focus on keeping all the paperwork flowing for this commercial job. A lot goes into this type of large build, so making sure all the different sub-contractors are on the same page can be a nightmare sometimes. Thankfully, we haven’t had any major setbacks and we are still on schedule,” he replies as he reaches up to swipe some hair out of my face and tuck it behind my ear. The feel of his fingertips along the sensitive skin behind my ear and on my neck causes goose bumps to pop up where he touched.

  “That sounds stressful, but it sounds like it’s helping that you are still on schedule,” I reply as I try and shake the shiver that is now making its way down my back from his touch.

  “Yes, staying on schedule helps a lot. Big jobs like this can easily be off schedule from one thing and then we need to make up the time somewhere else. It just ebbs and flows,” he tells me as I start moving so I can stand up.

  “I’m going to go let Ty know that he only has 5 more minutes to play. I need to get home to get some laundry done. I’ll be right back.” I go and find Ty and he’s actually just about to come back over to us as he’s worn out. Jake had folded up the blanket and picked up everything else we had out, so we all head to his truck.

  “Mom, can we have spaghetti for dinner?”

  “I think we can make that happen,” I tell him. No surprise there, as that is his favorite meal.

  “Jake, do you like spaghetti? It’s my favorite! Can you have spaghetti with us?” Ty asks him.

  Jake looks at me for clarification and I just nod my head yes and give him a small smile.

  “That sounds great, Ty. I love spaghetti and would love to try your momma’s!” he says to Ty while shooting me a wink.

  This man and his flirty personality.

  “Mom, can I watch a movie when we get home?” Ty asks when we get into the truck.

  “That sounds like a good plan, I need to do laundry. So maybe once we are home you and Jake can pick out a movie and then I will join you once I have the laundry started.”

  We make our way back to my house and I get the stuff out to make dinner. I then head up to start the first load, and make my way down to find Ty and Jake watching a movie. I grab the throw blanket and curl up on the couch next to Jake. Ty moves so he is curled up on my other side. It would have made the perfect picture of the three of us. I realize I need to have a talk with Ty tonight once Jake leaves and explain to him about our relationship the best I can to a 6 year old.

  The movie ends and I get up to go do more laundry and start dinner. Jake comes in and asks if he can help with anything and I have him and Ty set the table. Ty goes to play with his Legos until the food is ready and Jake comes back in to be with me while I finish up cooking.

  “It smells amazing in here,” he says as he wraps his arms around me and leans down to kiss me. I lift up on my toes to meet him. His kisses are always so full of determination and passion and I can’t get enough of them or him. It’s like this man is a drug and I just keep coming back for more. The timer goes off so I leave Jake’s arms and get dinner off the stove and we get it to the table.

  “Ty, dinner is ready. Please come to the table,” I call to him.

  He comes running to the table and we all sit down to eat together. The conversation around the table flows so naturally between the three of us, you would have never guessed this is the first time we are eating dinner together. I don’t notice any issues or hesitation from Ty with Jake being here. I’m still going to have a little chat with him tonight when we have our bedtime snuggles and make sure he understands as best as he can what is going on and that we will be spending a lot of time with Jake from now on.

  We finish with dinner and the boys help me clear the table, wash up the dishes and get the dishwasher loaded. I run up to move the laundry around again and then come back down to find them pulling out a game for us to play. I check the clock and we have just enough time to play it before Ty needs to take his bath and get ready for bed.

  “One quick game and then it’s bath time,” I tell Ty as I sit down to play with them.

  “Oh, man, I wish I could stay up later,” he pouts.

  “Sorry, buddy. You need your sleep and you have school tomorrow. You can’t miss your last few days of school.”

  Sighing he says, “I know” and sticks his bottom lip out in a pout.

  “Hey, you’ve had a fun weekend. Don’t start pouting now or we won’t be able to play our game.” I can tell he is trying to get attention and I want to nip that in the bud, so I give him that choice. Thankfully, he chooses wisely and we play the game together.

  “Ok, Ty, it’s time to head upstairs for your bath. Why don’t you go up and I’ll be up in just a few minutes? Be ready for me by the time I come up.” Ty runs upstairs and I turn to Jake. “Bedtime will take me 30-45 minutes. Do you want to stick around or do you need to get home?”

  “I don’t have anything pressing I need to do at home, but if you need me to leave, I’ll understand.”

  “I wouldn’t mind you staying,” I tell him with a wink and a coy smile. He catches on and leans down and kisses me possessively. As I break the kiss, he sucks my bottom lip and lightly bites on it. I moan back into his mouth and have to stop myself from wrapping my legs around his body. I break the kiss and regretfully take a step back.

  “I need to get upstairs. Make yourself comfortable. The remotes are in the side table drawer if you want to turn on the TV while I’m getting him down.”

  I head upstairs. Ty has decided he wants to take a shower instead of a bath. I’m all for that as it’s quicker. Once he’s done with his bedtime routine, we sit down on his bed for our cuddle time. We use this time to talk to each other and just enjoy cuddling. I need to discuss Jake with Ty and figure this is the best time to bring it up with him.

  “Hey, Ty, I need to explain why Jake was with us all day today. Momma is dating him. That means that we are going to be seeing him a lot. He might hug me, hold my hand, or even kiss me. I don’t want you to be confused by any of this if it happens around you, ok? And if it ever bothers you, I need you to tell me, ok?” I tell him as I have him wrapped in a hug.

  “Ok, so it will be like Grams and Gramps or Caroline and Luke?”

  Leave it up to my 6 year old to already understand what an adult relationship is.

  “Exactly like that,” I say as I place a kiss on the top of his head.

  “Does that mean he is going to live here?” he asks me as he looks up at me.

  “No, not right now. Maybe later that will happen, but for now he will just visit us and we might even visit his house.”

  Ty doesn’t seem to have any other questions so I pull out the book he picked and start to read it to him. He starts to nod off to sleep about halfway through the book, so I give him one last kiss and hug goodnight and leave him sleeping away.

  I head down to find Jake. He’s watching some sports highlights or some
thing about sports. I’m not big into sports but I do love to go and watch hockey and we catch a few baseball games down with the minor-league team we have here in town every summer. I sit down next to him and curl right into his side. I could easily fall asleep right here.

  Apparently, I did doze off, as I wake to Jake kissing his way down my neck. I start to giggle from his beard tickling me.

  “I think someone likes that,” he says into my neck as he places an open kiss along my pulse.

  “Don’t stop,” I moan back to him.

  “You don’t have to tell me twice,” Jakes says as he continues to kiss along my jaw. He flips me so that I am lying on my back and he is on top of me. My hands find the bottom of his shirt and I make my way under it and to his abs. His body is drool worthy, scars and all, and I can’t get enough out of rubbing against him. He starts grinding into me and I’m about to come just from the contact.

  He starts to kiss further down my chest, stopping to lift my shirt up and out of his way. He moves one of my bra cups out of his way and pulls my nipple into his mouth. I groan.

  “Yes, just like that,” I moan. “Don’t stop,” I tell him as I lift my hips to meet his as I need the contact. I’m on the edge of an orgasm and will do about anything to crash over the edge.

  Jake kisses his way back up and claims my mouth with his. He’s so possessive and I love it. He never lets up the grinding, and I’m sure he can tell I’m moments away from coming. One of his hands makes its way down to my jeans and I feel him unbutton them and slide his hand in and under my panties.

  “You are so fucking wet and ready for me,” he moans into my mouth as he slips a finger inside me, finding that perfect spot while his thumb circles my clit. He doesn’t let up until my orgasm has overtaken me.

  “Holy shit, that was amazing,” I tell him after I have come down from my orgasm.

  “That was fucking hot, is what it was,” he tells me as he kisses me again. I can feel how aroused he is as he is still lying on top of me.

  “Shall we take this to the bedroom to finish?” I ask him.

  He practically springs off the couch, pulling me with him. I just laugh and shake my head at him. You would think the man didn’t just get laid this morning with how fast he is moving! We make our way to my room. I make sure to lock the door just in case Ty wakes up. I don’t need him walking in on us.

  Jake takes control and starts kissing me again and walks me over to the bed. Once my legs hit the edge, I pull on his shirt, trying to get it off him. He takes the hint and reaches behind his head and pulls off his shirt in one motion. I take the moment to pull mine off as well. I then pull him down on top of me. He kisses his way around my body, stopping only to remove my bra and jeans. I manage to reach down and get his jeans undone and reach in to start stroking his cock. He’s as hard as steel and feels so amazing in my hand.

  He moans out to me, “If you aren’t careful, you are going to make me come in your hand.”

  “Well, then what are you waiting for?” I say back to him.

  He briefly stands to remove his jeans and boxers. “Do you have condoms?”

  “Shit, no I don’t,” I tell him as I bite on my bottom lip.

  “Fuck, I don’t have one either,” he says as he strokes his cock a few times, looking down at me with a hungry look in his eyes.

  “Well, then, I guess I’ll just have to get you off some other way, and we will have to remedy that issue later,” I tell him as I go up on my knees so that I can kiss him.

  I push him down on the bed and kiss my way down his body. Once I reach his cock, I lick from the base to the tip, flicking my tongue over the top, catching the bead of pre-come as it comes out. This gets a deep moan out of Jake.

  “Damn, baby, that feels amazing,” he moans as he slides his hands into my hair.

  I continue driving him crazy, sucking him all the way in and then licking up and down his shaft. His hands have made their way to my hair, but he has let me continue to control the pace. I can feel him get harder in my mouth and figure he is about to come.

  “I’m going to come,” he tells me and tries to pull out of my mouth. I don’t let him and keep on sucking until I can feel him come.

  Once he finishes, he pulls me up and kisses me. “That was amazing,” he tells me between kisses. We continue to kiss and cuddle with each other for a little while longer. I know he can’t spend the night and I’m already dreading when the time comes that he is going to have to head back to his house.

  As we are lying in each other’s arms enjoying the feelings of mutual sexual satisfaction, we start to talk about our week ahead.

  “Would you like to come over tomorrow night after work for dinner?” I ask him.

  “Sure, would you like me to pick up take out on my way over? I’m usually done by 5.”

  “If you want, or I can make something. I don’t mind cooking,” I tell him as I rub my hand up and down his washboard abs.

  “Whatever you prefer, babe.”

  “Ty loves it when we grill, so how about I make a few side dishes and you can man the grill for us?” I push up so I can kiss him on the lips.

  “That sounds perfect,” he says between lazy kisses.

  “I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow anyway, so I can add hotdogs and hamburgers to the list. Anything else you would like me to pick up?”

  “Condoms,” he replies with a chuckle.

  “Duly noted,” I retort back.

  “I was joking. I can get them.” He laughs back at me while trying to tickle my side.

  “If you insist,” I tell him as I lean over to kiss him some more.

  “Ugh, I hate that you have to go home tonight.” I sigh as we break our kiss. “I’m going to miss your arms being around me tonight.”

  “I feel the same way. I don’t think I’ve slept as well as I did last night in years.” He pulls me in tighter, wrapping both of his arms back around me. I love the feeling of being wrapped up in his arms tight. “My parents usually keep Ty one night each weekend, so we’ll be able to have an adult sleepover that night,” I say as I wink at him.

  “I can’t wait,” he tells me as he leans to kiss me again.

  “Just tell me what night it’s going to be and I’m taking you out for a date. Just you and me.”

  “You spoil me, you know that?” I say as I lean in to kiss him again.

  “Get used to it, Tessa. I plan on spoiling you every chance I get.” He squeezes me tighter, leaning his forehead down to rest against mine so we are looking directly in each other’s eyes.

  We fall into a comfortable silence again and I start to doze off again. He must notice and starts to move so he can get up and dressed.

  “I should go before we both fall asleep.”

  “Ya, I suppose,” I say on a yawn.

  I get up and slip on some pajamas as Jake gets dressed so I can walk him out. At my front door, he turns to me and wraps me in his arms.

  “Have a good night, babe, I’ll see you tomorrow night once I’m off work,” he says and then leans down to kiss me goodnight.

  “Text me when you get home so I know you made it.”

  “Ok, I will.”

  “Goodnight, Jake.”

  “Night, Tessa,” he says as he walks out to his truck.

  After locking up, I head back upstairs to get ready for bed. I have just gotten into bed when my cell chimes with a text.

  Jake: I made it home beautiful, sweet dreams. Think of me. ;)

  Tessa: Thanks for letting me know, and only if you dream of me. ;)

  Jake: Oh, believe me, I will be dreaming of you tonight, babe.

  I’m tired but also wired from all the excitement coursing through my body. Up until less than 24 hours ago, I hadn’t even touched a man in over 5 years, let alone kissed or had sex with one. My body is probably wondering what in the hell I was doing, seeing that we had had sex multiple times in the past day. I just lay there in my bed thinking over the past few weeks since I met Jake and how am
azing it has been so far. I fall asleep dreaming about what the future holds for us.

  Jake

  The past week has been crazy busy at work, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I was honored to take over my family’s business and I strive to continue to make it a successful company. My dad started it from nothing and grew it into this large successful business and I will work every day to continue his legacy. This past week has also been amazing with Tessa and Ty in my life. We spent the evenings together every day. The days that she had to work, I went over to her house and made dinner so that it was ready when she got home. Tomorrow night Ty is staying the night at her parents’ house, so we are headed out on a date. I plan to spoil her as much as I can. Tonight, we are meeting up with Luke and Caroline plus all the kids for pizza and beer. Since Luke and I have been friends for years and Caroline and Tessa are best friends, it makes getting together so easy. I’ve finished up my work for the day a bit early so I text her to see if they are home.

  Jake: Hey babe, how is your day going? I’m done early today. If you’re home, I can come over now.

  Tessa: It’s good. Ty had his last day of pre-school today, so he’s excited that it’s summer vacation!

  Tessa: Yep, we are home. Come on over whenever.

  Jake: I’ll be on my way in just a few. See you soon, beautiful.

  I shut down my computer and let my office staff know I’m headed out. They always know I’m available on my cell if something comes up.

  I stop by the store to grab some beer and wine to take with us to Luke and Caroline’s. As I head to the checkout I see the flowers and decide my girl needs some flowers.

  I arrive at Tessa’s a few minutes later and head in to find her and Ty. I find them playing catch out back. Ty notices me first and is excited to see me, like usual.

  “Jake!” he yells as he throws the ball back to Tessa. “Want to play with us?”

  “Absolutely, buddy, but first can I give your momma something?”

  “Sure,” he replies as he catches the ball that Tessa tosses back at him.

  I walk up to Tessa and hand her the flowers, then lean down to kiss her hello.
