As the wave peaked, Jake released my breasts, knowing that I needed no distractions to ride it out. I crashed against him as the orgasm subsided. I laid down on Jake's chest and listened to his thundering heartbeat. I kissed him again, tasting beads of sweat.

“That was incredible,” I heard him breathlessly say.

As I rolled off to the side, our hands found each other again and clasped tight. I drifted slowly out of consciousness. Fuck, I loved this man.

CHAPTER NINE - BLAZING REVELATIONS

Jake’s POV

My eyes fluttered open, greeted by the afternoon light filtering through the curtains. I couldn't help but let out a loud yawn, feeling the warmth of her presence beside me. Turning my head, I took in the sight of Lily lying there, her tousled hair flowing over the pillow. She looked absolutely stunning, even in the simplicity of the morning.

Gently, I shifted a strand of hair away from her face and pressed a small kiss to her forehead before reluctantly untangling myself from the sheets. The thought of slipping back under the covers with Lily crossed my mind, but I had a few things I needed to do, so I slipped on my boxers and pants, preparing to head outside.

Just as I managed to stand up, I heard her stir and let out a sleepy moan. Turning back, I saw her slowly opening her eyes, a soft smile tugging at her lips.

“Hey there,” she murmured, her voice husky with sleep. “Where do you think you're going? Come back to bed.”

I chuckled, leaning against the doorframe. “I blame you, actually. You made me forget about work today. I was planning on going in late, but after, uh, our activities,” I said with a grin, “You've rendered me incapable of going to work today.”

Lily raised an eyebrow teasingly. “Oh, please. Last I remember, you were the one who couldn't keep your hands off me.”

I smirked, shrugging nonchalantly. “I was just trying to keep up with your energy. Couldn't resist. You could've stopped me if you wanted.”

We both shared a laugh, but then I remembered I had some errands to run. Grabbing my shirt, I announced, “I've got to head out, babe. Got some stuff to take care of,” I explained, preparing to leave.

“Babe?” She smiled. “Now you’re calling me babe, huh?”

“Well, aren’t you?” I smirked. “Anyway, I’ll see when I get back.”

Lily's voice stopped me in my tracks.

“Wait,” she said, sitting up in the bed, her naked form on full display. My eyes couldn't help but roam over her, admiring every curve.

She blushed, hastily covering herself with the sheets. “Stop staring, dummy,” she mumbled, her cheeks flushed.

I couldn't help but grin. “Can't help it. You're breathtaking.”

With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she invited me closer, and I eagerly complied. Leaning in, she planted a soft kiss on my lips, leaving me longing for more.

With a satisfied smirk, I bid her goodbye, leaving the house, and making my way to the car, with the memory of her kiss lingering on my lips. I was already looking forward to coming back to her.

With a determined grin, I got into my car, pulling out of my driveway as I set out to put my plan into action.

This would be the first time I would ever be going to such lengths for any girl, but everything in me told me that Lily was worth it.

I planned to give her the perfect surprise, and my mind buzzed with numerous ideas as I drove through the city streets, the anticipation of seeing that beautiful smile of hers building with each passing moment.

My first stop was the florist. I wanted to pick out the most beautiful bouquet of flowers to brighten Lily’s Day, but as I stepped into the shop, a riot of colors and fragrances greeted me, and my brain hurt from the decision I'd have to make.

I wasn't a romantic guy, I'd never been, but here I was, in a fucking flower store. “If my teenage self could see me now,” I muttered to myself.

After browsing through the different options, I settled on a stunning arrangement of her favorite blooms – roses, lilies, and daisies – carefully wrapped in soft tissue paper and tied with a satin ribbon.

As I made my purchase, the florist couldn't help but smirk. “Looks like someone's in the doghouse.”

I chuckled nervously. “Actually, I'm planning a surprise for my girlfriend.”

Her eyes softened. “Well, she's a lucky lady. I hope she appreciates the effort.”
