Take a Breath (Take 1) (22 page)

    Jake sighs, “It’s 6am.”  

 
  I scoff, “6am, why so early?”  He moves his hand up to my
breast and gently squeezes.  I ease myself into him ready for what
he has to give me.  He kisses my neck and I moan.

 
 “Because sweet Ana, I knew that when I woke up beside you I would
have a raging hard on, that could not be ignored and we simply cannot
be late for work this morning.”  

 
  He carries on kissing the back of my neck and squeezing my
breast.  I push myself even deeper into him.  

   “So eager already Ana, so ready for me.”  

 
  I moan, “Always.”  He moves his hand down towards my clit
and starts rubbing.  I moan out a little louder.  

   “Shh you can’t be too loud remember?  I need to be inside you Ana, right now.”  

 
  He lowers himself further down and enters me.  I try not to
moan too loudly, but it is hard to contain myself around him.  He
pushes himself gently in and out and positions himself upright so he
can find my clit, to carry on the delicious rubbing.  He bites my
shoulder and I can’t help it, I moan again.  

   “Ana, hush now.”  

 
  I whimper out, “I can’t help it Jake; you don’t know how good
that feels.”  He carries on the wonderful onslaught kissing and
nibbling the back of my neck.  With all these sensations running
through me, he is certainly making sure I get every pleasure
imaginable.  I feel myself rising and my body goes rigid ready for
the beautiful climax about to rip through me.  I cry out still
trying not to make too much noise as I come apart around him. 
Jake starts working faster and faster and he’s grunting getting worked
up.

   “Fuck, Ana, what are you doing to me?  I’m going to come inside you now.”  

 
  He squeezes at my hips as he buries himself deeper, trying to
release as much as he can.  I am there positioning myself to take
everything he can give.  He kisses the back of my neck again and
we lay there for a while, with Jake still inside me.  I don’t want
to move but I know this can’t last forever.  As if sensing the
same Jake pulls out and I wince at his departure.  

 
  He smacks my bum, “As much as I want to lay here and have full
access to your beautiful naked body, we have to get going.”  

    I moan out a no, and he pulls me up.  

 
 “You see Ana, I happen to know the boss is a hard ass and if
you’re late for work, he’s going to have to punish you.”  

 
  I raise my eyebrow, “Not sure if that really is a threat
Jake.  Maybe I should make myself late just to see what punishment
he has to offer.”  His amusing smile is infectious.  

   “You’re a complete sex kitten do you know that, but I can’t do this now, we have to get going, come on.” 

We
both enter the shower together and wash each other all over
again.  I could definitely get used to this.  If I wake up to
this every morning I’ll be a happy woman.  We get out the shower
and I see all my little trinkets on the ‘her’ side of the sink display,
which tugs at my heart.  I put on a bit of makeup and sort my hair
out in a high pony tail.  I get to the wardrobe and find myself a
nice fitted white shirt and pencil skirt to wear to work again.  I
proceed to get dressed impressed with Jake’s attempts at making me at
home in his room.  

   “Ana, I haven’t seen you put any panties on.”  

 
  I smile, “I know Mr Bennett, maybe I like going commando
now.  It saves the hassle for any eventuality that they may need
to come off at any time.”  He goes to the drawer and picks out a
lace white thong and hands it to me.  

 
 “You’re not going to work with me knowing that you have no
panties on.  I don’t think I can take it and I need to
concentrate.”  

 
  I huff at him, but take the panties from him anyway and put them
on.  I watch as he is putting a white shirt on with a silk navy
tie and some black trousers.  My god he looks fit.  He sweeps
his beautiful hair back and I can see the piercing green eyes stare
toward me.  “Why do you always look like something I want to
eat?”  Jake bursts out laughing at my outburst.  

 
 “I can say the same for you too Ana.  You look like candy on
a stick and I just want to lick you all over.”  

    I sigh, “Yes please.”  He comes over to me kisses me gently.  

   “Don’t tempt me.  Are you ready?  It’s 7:20 now.”  

    I nod my head and we make our way downstairs. 

We
grab a quick bite to eat and gather our things getting ready for our
day ahead.  We shout goodbye to Matthew, who by now was up and
getting ready for school.  When I enter the garage the heat just
hits me.  I’ve been cooped up in a lovely air conditioned house so
long I forgot all about how hot it really is out there.  We get in
the car and he starts the engine.  

    He looks at me and grabs my hand, “Are you ready?”  

 
  I nod, “Ready.”  The garage door opens and we see a squad
car outside, we wave to them and off we go.  “Why are they still
here?”  

 
 “I just want them there until Matthew leaves.  He’s going to
make sure the house is locked up tight before he heads off to school,
and I’ve already told him to text me the minute he gets to school so I
know he’s ok.”  I nod.  “I’m not taking any chances with this
Ana, not until it’s finished.”  

 
  I show my approval and we make most of the journey in silence,
holding hands until we finally reach the station. 

Once
Jake has parked in his spot we make our way inside and are greeted by
everyone along the way.  Jake touches my arm goodbye and makes his
way to the office.  I miss him already.  I sigh knowing that
life still has to go on, so I carry on walking over to where my desk
is.  An eagerly awaited Jessie is sitting perched high in her
chair.  She looks radiant with her red locks bouncing from her
fair rounded face.  

   “Wow, look at you, you look radiant Ana.”  

    I chuckle, “Funnily enough, I was just thinking the same thing about you my dear.”  

    She beams, “I know I think being in love suits me doesn’t it?”  

    I gasp, “Jessie and Jerry are getting serious?”  

 
  She nods, “Yes, who would have thought I would fall for a guy
called Jerry Maguire but he’s perfect.  We can’t keep our hands
off each other.  Hey, never mind that for a moment, talking about
keeping hands from each other, spill goddammit.  Do you know how
hard it has been for me waiting to hear everything that has been
happening with you, for the last three days? You’re driving me crazy
missy.”  

 
 “Ok, but first come with me for a coffee, it’s quieter in the
kitchen.”  We make our way over to the small room where the
machines for making all sorts are laid out in front of us, and we
gather our mugs to make our drinks.  Luckily we were on our
own.  “It all started really Thursday night when Jake and I found
ourselves on his sofa barely able to contain ourselves.”  

    Jessie’s eyes bulged, “No shit, Ana, go on.”  

 
  I proceed, “Well, I don’t know how he manages it, but he throws
himself off me and starts babbling about what we were doing was wrong
blah, blah, blah.  I was just sitting there horny as hell and he
throws that at me.  I was pissed.  The next day he gets angry
at me for flirting with Matthew’s mates and we end up having sex, but
he still feels it’s all wrong.  Well, long story short your plan
worked and the next minute we’re on the table in the kitchen, in his
bed, in the shower, in the bed again, in the Jacuzzi.  I think you
get my drift.”  Jessie looks at me stunned.

 
 “Wow, you little slut, you never told me anything.  I found
you so quiet at times and so within yourself and next minute you walk
into the offices looking well and truly fucked and telling me how many
times Mr Boss man shagged you over the weekend.”  We both start
laughing.  “Seriously though Ana, you look even more fantastic
than normal.  Jake is obviously good for you.  I think the
men here will be more over you now than ever until they know.  Are
you going to tell everyone?”  

    I’m suddenly confused, “What do you mean all over me more now?” 

 
 “Well, you’ll be oozing sex from every pore of you.  Men can
tell that you see.  Notice when you’re single and nothing happens,
and as soon as you find a man they’re all sniffing round you? 
Well, that will be you.”  

 
  I pour us each a cup from the ready hot percolator.  “Has
anyone ever told you that you’re wise upon your years, but have a
serious potty mouth disorder?”  I hand her the mug.  

 
 “It’s a gift I think, but you can kiss my ass with the potty
mouth missy.  Anyway, why are you keeping this all a secret
anyway? He’s not really your dad you’re banging is he, because you know
that’s against the law right?”  

 
  I screw up my face in disgust, “Jessie, that’s just.  Shut
up, that’s sick.”  She laughs, squeezes my arm and tells me she’s
only kidding.  I then tell her all about the not nice things that
were happening at the weekend and she looked in complete
shock.  

   “The blonde killer is obsessed with you?  Who could it be, do you suspect anyone?”  

 
  I cringe at the thought of Alan, but I can’t tell Jessie this,
not if I’m hiding it from Jake, it wouldn’t be fair.  I’m not sure
whether she would be able to keep that sort of thing secret
anyway.  I have Agent Marcos onto it, so if that is a lead I’m
sure I will know soon enough.  “No, I have no idea Jessie.  I
can’t understand why he needs to create such a fuss over me.  I’m
nothing special after all.”  Jessie shakes her head at me, clearly
unhappy with my remark but doesn’t say anything further. 

We both take an appreciative sip of our coffee when Tom walks in.  

 
 “Wow, I walk into a room and see two beautiful women standing
before me.  It must be all my Christmases and Birthdays rolled
into one.”  

    I shake my head and Jessie tuts at him.  

   “Tom, you really are a slime ball, you know that?”  

    He looks offended, “I just paid you a compliment, can’t a guy pay you both compliments?”  

 
  Jessie retorts, “Not when the person complimenting just wants to
get in everyone who has a skirts panties it’s not.  You’re a male
version of a whore Mr Pendleton.”  

    I start laughing and Tom just shrugs his shoulders and smiles in defeat.  

 
 “How is Debra by the way?  Are you still sleeping with that
poor girl?  I don’t know what she sees in you to be honest, but I
suppose some girls have to get it somewhere.  I just thought she’d
have better taste.”  

 
  Debra is a patrolwoman and I knew nothing about this. 
“What else am I not being told around here?  Tom, you’re
holding out on me.”  

    He smiles and winks at me, “Only because the girl I really want doesn’t seem to want me.”  

 
  Jessie puts two fingers down her throat and pretends to
gag.  “See, I told you the flies would come.”  She looks at
me and Tom just looks baffled.  “Anyway Tom, it would seem Ana has
found herself someone who can keep her warm at night a lot better than
you can.”  

    I blush a scarlet red.  

 
 “Yes, so I’ve seen.”  He gets his coffee and walks out the
door.  “By the way, that colour suits you Ana.”  

 
  I realise he’s talking about me blushing, and it makes me flush
even further.  Is it that obvious?  We go back to our desks
and there is a flurry of activity, as people are coming and going
outside Jake’s office.  I think he’s trying so hard to get this
psycho caught, and I know he is deliberately keeping me well away from
it all.  I pick up my phone to text him.

Did Matthew get to school ok?xx

I boot up my computer to get ready for my day and sort my desk putting out all my files in order when I get a text back.

Yes, he’s fine.  Miss u.xx

My heart explodes and I can’t escape the stupid grin on my face. I begin my text back.

I miss you too. 

Do you want me to come in
to the office and show you just how much?xx

I wait for a response and it soon comes.

Ana, you’re going to get a smacked bottom if you’re

n
ot careful.  Now get on with your work.xx

I
giggle and realise that Jake is playing hardball with me.  I love
the fact he tells me off, then leaves two kisses at the end of the
text.  I sigh and proceed on with my schedule of things to
do.  I’m engrossed in reading my emails, when I feel a hand upon
my shoulder.  I jump and look up to find Tony.  He doesn’t
look very well.  “Hi Tony, how are you?  Are you ok?” 
He nods and grabs a chair to sit with me.  

   “I’ve just not been feeling too well the last few days.  I must have caught a bug or something.”
