CHAPTER TWO
Valentina
I thought I would never see him again, and after a few months, I learned to be okay with that, even though he was the best sex I ever had. Probably ever will have in my life.
That time in Costa Rica with Jake is still among the most perfect days of my life, even though I pretended to be someone else.
Even though the trip was a bust, and I never found out who was on the island to sell weapons in Papa’s territory. I fucked up my one chance to be a genuine part of the family business, but Jake made it all worthwhile. I don’t regret it.
Not even after returning to Colombia when Papa forced me to marry Alejandro—for the good of the family—whom I despised. He had been ten years my senior and a loyal soldier, but to me, he was nothing but a penance.
I was never in love with Alejandro, but I played the role of dutiful wife in public as he and my father expected. In private, we both satisfied our appetites separately and discreetly, but that secret was ours and ours alone.
Now I’m free of Alejandro, free of the delusion and expectations. And now Jake is back in my life, and I know exactly how to find him. He’s the Vice President of the Reckless Souls and doing business, albeit reluctantly, with Papa.
It means he’ll be close, allowing me to take full advantage of my time in California. My lips curl into a smile as memories play like a movie in my mind of Jake and me in Costa Rica.
I smile to myself as I think about one night in the dark corner of a popular nightclub. Jake made my body come alive in ways I never knew existed.
Jake sips his drink and motions for me to follow him. I do, my heart pounding in anticipation as I walk behind him. He stops and turns, his smoldering gaze sending a shiver of excitement through me.
He takes my hand, and we walk to the back of the club. The music is playing an upbeat disco sound which only raises my heartbeat. When we get to the darkest corner of the club, Jake twirls me around and pushes me up against the wall.
“You ever been fucked in public?” he whispers in my ear. The thought is so naughty it makes me wet.
“No,” I say and his fingertips ghost against my neck, sending a shiver down my spine.
“Want me to fuck you here, in front of all these people?” he purrs, his lips gently kissing my neck.
“Yes,” I say, causing Jake to growl. His hand slips under my skirt and touches my pussy. “Ah, Diosito,” I moan. “That feels so delicious.”
“I bet I can make it feel more delicious,” he says, slipping his fingers inside. I arch my back as he does.
“Jake. Fuck me… fuck me with your fingers, por favor,” I say, my head lolling back. Then Jake kisses my neck and slides his fingers in deeper.
“I want you to come,” he says, his fingers sliding in and out, deeper and faster. “I want you to come all over my fingers,” he says, his lips grazing my neck.
“Okay,” I whisper as his other hand replaces his lips on my neck.
He must see the fear in my eyes because he says, “Don’t be afraid, Maria. I won’t hurt you.”
“Okay,” I say, trembling, not from fear but from excitement.
Jake glances behind him, then lets his eyes lock on me. The hand on my throat gets tighter, and my excitement builds. His other hand is like magic, his fingers dancing inside me, playing me like a grand piano.
I bite my bottom lip, trying to stifle my moans so I don’t draw any attention from the people around us, but I can’t. Jake may be a stranger to me, but his skills are magic.
“I’m coming, I’m coming,” I say and push my body back against the wall and moan loudly as I come.
“There ya go, baby. Come for me,” he says and pushes his fingers deeper inside me as I explode in his hand, my juices gushing out onto the floor. My body trembles, and I can’t stop it. Can’t control my movements.
I look around, suddenly aware that, yes, we are in a public place.
“Oh, my God,” I say, lowering my skirt and trying to catch my breath. “What was that? What happened?”
“That, my beautiful Latin princess, was the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen,” he says, his eyes locking on mine. “And we're just getting started. Let’s go back to my room.”
I smile to myself and reapply my lipstick, contemplating the best way to approach Jake. I want him to remember me as sexy, sultry, Maria. Not the daughter of his reluctant business partner.
