"Me too," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.
We sat there for a moment, just looking at each other. I could see the hesitation in Maya's eyes, but I also saw something else. Something that told me she was feeling the same way I was.
Without thinking, I closed the distance between us and kissed her. It was soft and gentle at first, but then Maya responded, and everything else faded away. We were lost in the moment, our bodies pressed together as we explored each other's mouths.
I could feel the heat building between us, rising higher and higher until I felt like we were about to combust, and I knew we needed to satisfy the urge. I stood up and pulled Maya to her feet, never breaking the kiss. I led her to my room and closed the door behind us. We collapsed onto the bed, a tangle of limbs and lips.
When we pulled apart, we were both breathing hard, and I could feel the electricity in the air. Maya was straddling me now, her hands in my hair as she lowered herself again and we continued to kiss. I reached down and grabbed her hips, pulling her closer to me, and moaned into the kiss when her wetness pressed against my cock, soaking through her thin shorts.
It felt like we had been building up to this moment for weeks, and now that we were here, I didn’t want it to end.
Thankfully, neither did she.
Chapter 25
Maya
Schoolwasgoingtostart again for Eli soon, so Jack and I decided to take a family vacation to the beach. It had been a while since I had been to the beach and Eli had never been there, so we were all very excited.
We decided on San Diego and Jack insisted on renting a ridiculously nice house for the week. It seemed over-the-top to me, but Jack reminded me with a wink that it was totally ok.
It was the thing about Jack I kept trying to ignore, for some reason.
We flew commercial to San Diego, but of course, first class. I was worried that Eli was getting spoiled as I watched him drape the hot towel over his face and made a mental note to have a conversation about all of this luxury at home. I wouldn’t ruin our fun time right now.
As we arrived at our beachfront home, I was taken aback by how beautiful it was. The view was breathtaking, and the house was even more stunning in person. As we started to explore the area, my unease returned. Everywhere we went, Jack was quick to pull out his credit card and buy anything Eli wanted. Ice cream, souvenirs, you name it.
I knew I should be grateful for Jack's generosity, but there was a part of me that felt like he was trying to one-up me, to prove that he could provide for our son better than I ever could. And the worst part was that he seemed to be enjoying it as if it were some kind of game. I could feel the tension building up inside of me, but I didn't know how to confront him without causing a scene.
It wasn't until later on the second day that things came to a head. We were walking along the beach when Jack spotted a vendor renting out four-wheelers. Before I could even say anything, Jack had rented one for Eli.
I was stunned; we had never even talked about four-wheeling before. But Jack just brushed off my concerns, telling me that Eli would love it and that it was just a small price to pay for his happiness.
I could feel my anger rising.
"What's the matter, Maya?" Jack teased, his voice dripping with what I interpreted as smugness. "Don't you want our son to have the best of everything?"
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, using some of the tools I’d practiced with Catherine.
"Of course I want him to have the best," I said, my voice shaking with frustration. "But that doesn't mean we have to spend money on everything he wants. We need to teach him the value of money, not just give him whatever he asks for."
Jack rolled his eyes.
"Oh, come on, Maya. It's just a four-wheeler for the day. It's not like we're buying him a sports car or something."
I could feel my face turning red with anger.
"That's not the point, Jack," I said, my voice rising. "The point is that we need to teach our son responsibility, and that means not giving him everything he wants just because you can afford it."
Jack just laughed, as if my words were some kind of joke.
"Don’t be such a killjoy, Maya," he said, shaking his head. "Lighten up a little bit. Eli is having the time of his life, and that's all that matters."
I knew I wasn't going to win in an argument with Jack, so I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.
"Fine," I said, my voice quieter now. "But I just hope you know what you're doing."
Jack shrugged.
