“With Jacob?”
“And Jack, apparently.”
“You know he loves you, right?” I smile, my cheeks flushing with heat.
“Yeah, he told me earlier.” A wide grin appears on her face and I chuckle.
“You love him too?”
“Yeah, more than I ever thought possible, but I have no idea how we can make things work. I thought the distance was our only obstacle. Now there’s Zara…”
“Did Jack know she was coming?”
I shake my head. “No. She called him a couple of days ago, demanding to see Jacob. She was pissed when she found out he was here. Then she turned up this morning.” I turn to Savannah. “I don’t trust her, Sav. She was a bitch when she first arrived, then put on a big show about how she just wanted a second chance with Jacob. She admitted she wanted to try again with Jack, but could see how happy we are. She’s going to make a play for him, I’m sure of it.”
“Jack wants you though.”
“She’s the mother of his son, Savannah. They have a connection, and she’s beautiful.” I sigh and walk toward the water. Picking up a stone, I toss it into the river.
“She might be beautiful, but she’s ugly on the inside. Jack isn’t going to forget what she did to them. And he lovesyou.”
“God, I hope so. I can’t imagine not having him in my life. He’s the one, Sav.” I choke on my words and she walks toward me, pulling me into an embrace. “He’s going to be spending so much time with her. What if—”
“Hey. Stop.”
“I’m sorry.” I pull out of her embrace and drop my head in my hands. “I feel like I’m going crazy. I’ve never been this needy. What’s wrong with me?”
“You love him, Aria. Simple as that. Love drives you crazy.”
“I trust him. I have no reason not to. But…”
“You don’t trust her?” Sav finishes for me.
I shake my head sadly. “I’m going to fight if I have to though. I’m not going to let her take them from me.”
“If you need any help, Quinn, Lib, and I can go crazy bitch on her. I know Lib hates her!”
I can’t help but laugh. I can always count on Savannah to cheer me up and have my back. Libby and Quinn too.
Jack
The next week seems to fly by. Zara is like a different person to the one who walked out on Jacob and me, and no one is more surprised than I am. Not only is she making an effort with Jacob, but also my parents and Lib. It’s like she’s had a personality transplant.
I’m a little worried about Aria. I’ve barely seen her this past week. I still fall asleep with her in my arms every night, but I can’t get her to open up to me. I’ve told her Zara being here doesn’t change anything between us, but even I’m beginning to wonder if that’s true. My feelings for her haven’t changed at all, but I’m spending so much time with Zara and Jacob, I can see how it looks. I need to make time for her. I need to put her first. Savannah and Josh are having a pool party this afternoon, and while Zara’s been invited, I plan on spending the whole afternoon with Aria.
“You about ready to go, baby?” I call out, pushing myself off the bed and walking toward the bathroom. She’s finished work early, and after a quick shower, we have half an hour alone before we’re due at Savannah’s. Jacob is with Zara, looking at the horses, and it’s the first time she’s watched him without me. I’m a little apprehensive, but I know it’s got to happen at some point. Pushing open the bathroom door, my eyes widen.
“Fuck, Aria! You look incredible.” My eyes roam her perfect body, her tiny black bikini leaving little to the imagination. My cock hardens and pushes against the thin material of my swim shorts. A flush of pink spreads up her chest and neck at my perusal, making her look even more beautiful. “Come here.” My voice is husky, and her eyes are full of heat as she looks at me. She crosses the small space and I take her into my arms.
“I’ve missed you,” she says softly, her eyes meeting mine.
“I’ve missed you too, baby.” I lower my head capturing her lips with mine. Walking her backwards, I lift her up, placing her on the sink unit. My arms push her legs open and I stand between them, pulling her against me. She moans into my mouth as my erection presses against the thin material of her swimwear. Her hands wind into my hair and her fingers tug gently. I blindly undo her bikini top, not wanting to drag my mouth from hers. Pulling it away from her body, I toss it onto the floor. A moan escapes her lips as my mouth peppers kisses around her jaw and down her neck. When I reach her breasts, I take one in my hand, rolling her nipple between my fingers. I blow gently and then circle my tongue around her nipple before sucking it into my mouth. Her back arches and she pushes her hips against mine.
“What do you need, baby?” I ask against her breast, my teeth biting down.
“Oh, God,” she mumbles, her hands pulling on the hair at the base of my neck.
“Tell me what you want, Aria.”
