The sun was beginning to set when the boat tour ended. The sky was awash with vibrant oranges and pinks that framed the Alamo perfectly. Jake and Layla disembarked the boat.
“I expected that to be boring. Happy to say, I was surprised. And it was nice to just sit for a few minutes with my arm around a pretty lady.
“Have you ever been to the Alamo?” Jake asked, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
“No, but we could go someday. But not today,” Layla replied with a teasing smile. “We could do without more ghosts for a while.”
“Fair enough,” he chuckled, giving her hand a reassuring squeeze.
She noticed an older woman give them an odd look, and she couldn’t help but laugh. “We can’t even brag about what we’ve done because no one would believe us!”
“Very true. We should stop for some Tex-Mex and toast Fiona’s future child with tacos.”
“What else would we toast with?”
As they made the drive back home, their thoughts turned to the days ahead.
“Are you ready to go back to work?” Layla asked, her gaze fixed on the road stretching out before them.
“Almost,” Jake sighed, his fingers drumming lightly on the steering wheel. “But I was thinking...maybe we could take some time off, just a week or so, to be together without any ghosts looming over us. You know, really focus on us.”
Layla felt a warmth spread through her chest at his words. The thought of spending an entire week alone with Jake, free from the supernatural forces that had been plaguing them, was both exhilarating and comforting. “I’d love that,” she whispered, reaching over to intertwine their fingers, feeling truly connected to him in that moment.
And as the wind continued to whisper around them, Layla couldn’t help but hope that this newfound peace would last, allowing them to fully explore the depths of their love, unburdened by the shadows of the past.
The next morning, Layla woke up to the sound of Jake’s voice, humming softly in the kitchen. She stretched her arms and legs, feeling the soft sheets beneath her. With a lazy smile, she got out of bed and made her way to the kitchen.
Jake stood at the stove, flipping pancakes with a spatula. He was shirtless, his broad shoulders glistening with sweat. Layla’s heart skipped a beat as she admired his toned abs and the way his muscles rippled as he moved.
“Good morning, beautiful,” he said, turning to face her. He leaned in and gave her a slow, sensual kiss, his hands trailing down her back.
Layla melted into his embrace, her body responding to his touch. She pulled away, breathless. “What’s the occasion?” she asked, eyeing the stack of pancakes on the counter.
Jake grinned. “I just wanted to treat my girl to a special breakfast,” he said, pouring syrup over the pancakes.
Layla’s heart swelled with love and gratitude. She felt so lucky to have Jake in her life, and she knew she would do anything to keep him by her side. “Thank you, Jake,” she said, placing a kiss on his cheek. “This is perfect.”
They sat down at the table together, savoring the taste of the warm, fluffy pancakes and enjoying each other’s company. As they ate, Jake reached over and took Layla’s hand in his, his thumb rubbing circles on her skin. “I was thinking,” he said, his voice low and sensual, “that we could spend the day in bed together. Just the two of us.”
Layla’s breath caught in her throat at his words. The idea of spending the entire day wrapped up in Jake’s arms was almost too much to handle. She nodded eagerly, a smile spreading across her face. “Yes, please,” she whispered.
With a mischievous grin, Jake leaned over and pulled Layla out of her chair, lifting her up in his arms. He carried her back to the bedroom, Layla clinging to him, laughing.
Layla woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside the window. She stretched her arms and legs, feeling Jake’s warmth beside her. She turned around to face him and smiled, admiring the way the sunlight illuminated his face.
He slowly opened his eyes and smiled back at her. “Good morning beautiful,” he said, his hand caressing her cheek. “How did you sleep?”
Layla leaned in to kiss him, letting her lips linger on his for a moment. “I slept great,” she said, her voice laced with desire. “But I want more of you.”
Jake chuckled and pulled her close, his lips tracing a path down her neck. She moaned softly, feeling a delicious shiver run down her spine. He kissed her deeply, his tongue exploring her mouth as she gave in to the sensations.
They spent the next hour entwined in each other’s arms, exploring each other’s bodies with passion and tenderness. Layla lost herself in Jake, every part of her connected to him. She let the sensations wash over her, feeling free and secure in his embrace.
Layla woke up the next morning, feeling Jake’s warmth next to her. She looked over at him, admiring his strong features. She reached over and traced his lips with her finger, suddenly feeling overcome with love for him.
Jake stirred beside her, letting out a low moan. “I have the best girl in the world,” he said, turning to face her.
“I’m your only girl,” she said, planting a kiss on his lips. “Which makes me the best girl in the world.”
