“I was there, Jessica. She still affects him and it scares me. What’s more, it looks like she might be interested in rekindling something. Our relationship just started and there is already a reason to break up.”
“Has Jake given you any reason to doubt his feelings for you?”
“Other than his reaction?”
“Don’t be like that. You would react the same way if Daxton decides to walk back into your life.” I look away because she is right. “What about this, instead of trying to find reasons to doubt him, look for reasons to trust him. “I assure you, when Jake sets his heart on someone it’s always forever.”
Herwords give me assurance, but it’s not enough.

After office hours,I head for Jake’s office. I meet Samantha at her desk. “Working late today?” I ask her, and she rolls her eyes.
She glares at Jake’s door. “The boss insisted.”
I smile at her before opening Jake’s door. He is going through a file and looks up at me, his face morphs into a smile immediately and I feel a sense of satisfaction knowing I can make him react that way.
I walk to the back of his chair and wrap my hand around him while bringing my mouth close to his ear so I can nibble on them. “You should take a break,Mr.Hunt,” I whisper into his ear. “Want me to help you with that?” He smiles at my words and swivels his chair around so he is facing me.
I lower myself to the floor and rub his crotch through his trousers. He reacts immediately and I smile. “Try not to moan. Samantha is right outside the door.” He raises his brow and I start to unhook his belt.
“Does this have anything to do with Stephanie?” he asks, but I don’t reply, busy pulling his trousers lower so I can access him. “So it does.” He grabs my hand, stopping its movement.
“I remember someone being insistent that we lay off the sex for a while.” He stares at me and I look away. “Are you jealous, Bella?”
I scoff. “Of your saucy ex, don’t be ridiculous.”
He pulls me up and places me on his lap. “There is nothing to be jealous of. Stephanie is in the past and you are my present.”
I roll my eyes at his corny words. “Is that supposed to be comforting? I’ve heard better.” I push my hands through his hair and hear him groan in satisfaction. “I don’t like her.”
He chuckles. “She is a bit rough around the edges, but she is actually quite nice.”
“Don’t defend her,” I snap.
“Or what?” He challenges me, and I pull away to glare at him. He returns it with a smile. “Are you going to withhold sex from me? You’re already doing that and its pure torture.”
“It’s for the best for our relationship,” I say indignantly. “So stop acting like a horny teenager.” He replies by burying his face in my clothed breasts. “It’s not happening, Mr. Hunt.”
He groans into my chest and the vibration makes me shiver. “You were just about to…nevermind. I’ll just suffer in silence.” He gives me the saddest look he can musterwhichmakes me laugh because it does not fit him at all.
CHAPTER18
JAKE
Istare at Harry and he stares back at me. I start talking but slam my mouth shut again.
He gives me a curious look. “Jake, if you don’t want to say it then don’t.”
“No, no. I need to talk to youabout Bella.” He sits up at that.
“What about Bella?”
“I think I am in love with her, Harry. These feelings go deeper than attraction.”
He smiles at that. “Finally! Here I was thinking you were hopeless.”
“It’s scary, Harry. I don’t want to feel what I felt with Stephanie again and it doesn’t help that she is back like a living reminder on why I shouldn’t give my heart out.” His eyes go wide at the Stephanie part.
