Chapter 23: Chapter 23

"Tati, please." He was crying, kneeling infront of her. He reached for his hand and kissed it. He looked so desperate, anything just to stop her from getting rid of him. "No don't ask me to leave. Why are you always pushing me away?" P

"Jacob, please let go."

"I'm not leaving!" He shouted as his tears fell. "Because if I go now, you might run and leave me. Tatiana look at me, please. Baby.”

Jacob gently lifted her chin with his finger. He moved closer, placing his forehead against hers. their nose were almost touching, and their eyes were both wet of tears. "Tati, forgive me. I can make us work again. We were happy, right? I can do that again. Please, intindihin mo naman."

She couldn't stand looking at him in the eye, because she feels like all the walls she built around are slowly crumbling down.

They were all victims here.

She was pulled out of her reverie when he placed his hands on her cheeks. He looked so flushed. “Don't you really love me anymore? Because Tati, I never stopped.”

She gave him a small smile, at the end when she couldn't take it anymore, she reached for him and embraced him. She was still crying on his chest. Her shoulders shaking.

"I miss you, Jake. So much." She said between her sobs. I don't want you to leave.

She felt him raise her chin up and placed chaste kisses on the corner of her mouth. Pi

He wiped her tears away. "Are you taking me back now?" He whispered.

She could only nod.

"Huh, baby?"

She nodded again.

"I need you to say it. Tell me you'd take me back."

"Yes, Jacob. I'm taking you back now."

Jacob could die a happy man for sure.   Now these were happy tears, the 'finally' tears.

He kissed the corner of her mouth again, this time she tilted her head so he could kiss her properly. He smiled in their kiss, knowing it wasn't just him who's loving it.

He kissed her with urgency and passion, nipping her bottom lip until she parted her mouth. His tongue immediately seeks inside, winning the battle, while all she did was sigh and kiss him back with surrender.

She moaned when he bit her lower lip, masakit iyon na masarap. His kisses were so addictive, his lips were just so soft. He stopped kissing her, . "We're gonna start again. This time, we're not gonna let each other go because that's how it is supposed to be."

Tatiana let out a small chuckle and nuzzled her nose to his face. He was so serious, she just wants to see him sme.

"What are you laughing about baby? I'm dead serious."

She smiled, "I know. I'm just... happy."

Jacob sat beside her. She let out a squeal when he hoisted her into his lap.

He immediately wrapped his arms on his waist.

Jacob looked up. He just looked so fucking handsome. "What are you thinking of?"

"I'm sorry. I should've listened to you sooner. But then, I was so hurt, Jake." She said. These are things she have never said.

“We'll move past it. We can start all over again, Tati. You and I. I'm sorry, you didn't become a chef like you always dreamt to be."

"Don't be. I like where I am now. Maybe it wasn't meant to be for me. I love being a lawyer now. I like the confidence and intelligence I have when I'm standing there in the court and defending my client. Don't you like the life you have now?”

He smiled bitterly, huminga ito ng malalim. "I want a simple life. But life gave this to me, so... I have to stand by it. I've learned to love it, yes. But there are times I wonder what life could've been if my mother didn't find me."

He was a man of small ambition. He just want a simple life that's it. Tatiana as the mother of his children, a simple house to live in with a spacious backyard for their family day, a stable job in an art gallery or an art gallery he would own himself.

She touched his face. His stubbles are rough against her palms but Jacob's more oozing with sex appeal when he has it.

"I really thought you left me.” she murmured.

"Would you like to leave with me?” he asked all of a sudden.

"huh? No!" Not that she disliked it but what about Julian? Oh shit. And she has to tell him about their son, too. But... not right now. "I mean, we-- we should really take it slow for now, Jake."

He sighed and kisser her neck where it tickles. "Okay. Anything you want, Tati." He smiled when he felt her arching her back with the kisses he's giving her. Tatiana looked at him with her eyes blazing with intensity. He always loved her eyes--- they were gorgeously green like the Aurora. The northern lights... he'd take her there someday.

Tatiana straddled him properly . She moved her other leg and faced him. She was straddling him now, holding his face and the other hand was fisting his hair.

"I want you." she whispered.

His eyes roamed over her face.He smirked. "Say it again."

"Oh god, don't make me say it again.”

A beat of silence passed between them, then his lips captured hers, dragging her mouth to his in a kiss that had Tatiana moaning her surrender. Her lips were hot, wet and soft. It's always been like this when he's kissing her.

Jacob stood up and carried her, his hand on his buttocks, supporting her straddle. He carried her upstairs while he was kissing her neck. He chuckled. "Where's your room, baby?"

"Hmm."

He stopped on the first door. When he realized it was not locked, he kicked the door shut behind him and in one swift move he had her pressed against the nearest wall, every inch of her body aligned perfectly with his.

With need grabbing the reins and taking over, he impatiently unbuttoned her blouse, unclasped her bra. He didn't know how she took off her panty, but when he looked down she was already fully naked.

Jesus Christ.

She really was fucking naked. Beautifully naked. It was difficult to think straight with that much flawless skin in front of him. Every base instinct told him to worship every inch of her until they were both sated. His hands slid down the sides of her bare breasts, pausing to brush his thumbs across her taut nipples before smoothing over her waist and the curve of her hips; the contours of her familiar even after all these years.

"God." he groaned. "You're so beautiful."

He wouldn't make it five minutes without touching her. He gently placed her on the bed but she stood up and started to undress. She was breathless and her eyes glowed with unrestrained lust. She ran her fingers on his chest, stopping on his tattoo. "When did you get this?"

"Five years ago, when I went to Ibiza for a convention." He was breathing sharply as Tatiana ran her finger on his chest, down to his muscular abdomen

"What does this tattoo mean?" she asked.

A low groan vibrated in Jacob's chest as he claimed her mouth again, his tongue filling her with deep, searing strokes. His hand dropped between her thighs and he grit his teeth. Christ, she was wet. The rough pad of his thumb stroked over the top of her sex as his middle finger slid inside.

"Fate and throne." He answered.

"I'd like to get a tattoo someday." Tatiana moaned as he eased out then back in with, her hips circling and rocking against the heel of his hand. With a shift of his wrist he thrust deeper, all the while imagining how good she would feel sliding over his throbbing member. He was so hard for her it hurt.

"I want you so much," he murmured against her lips. His voice was rough, carnal, and as desperate as the moment between them. Her hands wasted no time reaching for his zipper, jerking his belt loose and yanking his zipper down. She pushed his boxer briefs just low enough to free him. Leaving his pants slung around his hips. Jake bent low and lifted her up in a rush, her legs hooked over his arms, his cock laying hot and heavy at the lips of her sex.

"Please." She was breathing hard, panting with need. He wasted no more time. He thrust deeply, entering her on a solid stroke, then stilled. If he moved he was going to be royally fucked. She felt so good, too good. Perfect. Like he was made to be inside her.

"Oh, God." She moaned in a sharp breath and shuddered. "You're so deep." Holding her effortlessly, he pulled out to the tip, then powered into her again.

"Shit, Jacob..."

Tatiana's head rolled back. Her eyes drifted shut and her lips parted on a loud moan as her entire body began to quake.

"Baby." God, he loved seeing her like this. With her back arched, taking all he gave her, his name breathlessly rolling off her tongue. Her core tightened around him and she cried out, the sounds of her orgasm a symphony as her nails scored his shoulders. The sweet lick of pain that spread across his upper back made him hungrier, greedier. "Fuck, baby," he growled, unable to think past the sensations. His head dropped and he started to come, his member kicking deep inside her as he let out a loud groan.

He collapsed on top of her. He heard her chuckle, still catching her breath and panting. "Wow."

He pushed his elbows up, brushed her hair away from her face. Jacob cupped her jaw and kissed her softly, feeling his way across her lips. "Are you tired?" And this time he wanted to look into her eyes as she came. Still buried inside her, he lowered his head and flicked his tongue reverently across her nipple before sucking it into his mouth. As he curled his tongue around the taut peak, he watched her teeth sink into her lower lip.

"Nope, not yet." She winked.

Fuck, he's a lucky bastard.

Immediately, he felt himself begin to harden again. Tatiana's eyes widened and her breath hitched. "Already?" she said, unbelievable.

She woke up around three in the afternoon. Jacob was hugging her tight from behind, she can hear his soft snore. Kahit noon pa man ay humihilik na talaga ito, it just got louder. She turned around to admire his handsome face.

Her eyes flew to his eye lashes, making her frown. His eye lashes are longer than hers.. And then her eyes darted to his nose and lips. Swear to god, one look and he'll know Julian is his son.

She sighed, thinking of ways on how to introduce them to each other. She's scared about how he'll react about it. She hopes Jacob doesn't resent her for keeping the truth from her.

"You're thinking too much." She heard his bedroom voice. "What is it?"

She pursed her lips, taking in the sight of him. "Nothing.”

"Why don't we go outside? Let's eat pizza and buy some ingredients for your red velvet cupcake." He stood up, naked and putting on his boxer shorts while she lay there dumbfounded.

"Because you, my wife, is baking tonight and I'm staying here for tonight." He leaned close and kissed her.  "I'm gonna shower, join me?"
