Page 9 of Drake Eternal

“Will Sam be there?” I asked, desperate to keep my voice as nonchalant as possible, although there was this tiny — very tiny — feeling of jealousy rising inside of me.

“Who, Cuttington? I didn’t even think to ask.” Drake reached out and took my hand, squeezing it, one corner of his mouth quirked up in a grin. “What? Are you worried?”

“No, just curious,” I said, although in truth, I had always felt quite insecure about Sam. She was not only beautiful, she was also tall and talented and smart. Luckily, she wasn’t Drake’s type, but still…

“Hmm,” Drake said and moved closer to me. “I don’t think you have anything to worry about, even if she’s still there. I had no interest in her and never have. She was just an easy source of release. Nothing more. No one could ever match how I feel for you.”

I looked in his eyes — his very smoldering blue, blue eyes and felt a thrill in my stomach. Although our sex life had cooled off a bit lately because we were both working so hard to keep everything together, when we did manage to make love, it was more than enough to keep me satisfied and I hoped Drake as well.

“Look,” Drake said and pulled me into his arms. “Here’s one thing you never have to worry about. I will never be tempted by anyone when I’m away from you. Never. You are everything I ever dreamed of in a woman, a partner, a wife, a lover. Everything. I would never jeopardize that for a physical release. I’d rather Skype with you or sext. Always.”

I sighed in contentment, and we kissed, our kiss warm and tender.

“I had planned on a very intense session tonight after Sophie went to bed, Ms. Bennet, since we’ve both been denied for a while with our busy schedules, so I’m very sad about it. I’ll find a way to make it up to you. I promise.”

“I was hoping tonight would be the night,” I said, smiling at the thought Drake had been planning to seduce me. “I guess we’ll have to wait a few weeks…”

“I’d wait forever for you. You are everything to me. You and Sophie and Liam. When you do come to Nairobi, I promise we will make up for the lost time. I’ll ensure I satisfy your every need and desire. If we had more time, I’d suggest we sneak upstairs for a quickie, but probably not a good idea with Sophie here.”

“She could watch a movie,” I said, hesitantly. “We could… lock the bathroom door. It would only be for, say, ten minutes?”

He raised his eyebrows at that. “Ten, you say?”

I nodded slowly, a smile spreading on my lips. “Ten would do.”

I went back downstairs to the living room and sat on the sofa beside Sophie. “What movie would you like to watch that you haven’t seen for a while? I could rent it for while Daddy and I pack for his trip.”

“Paddington!”

I laughed and glanced at Drake, who was standing in the entry to the living room. He had a very smoky look in his eyes. “Paddington it is. I’ll give you some microwave popcorn and you can have fun watching.”

In a few moments, I’d popped the popcorn and Drake had Paddington rented and playing on the flatscreen. Sophie lay on the carpet in front of the screen and ate her popcorn.

We had ten minutes.

Drake took my hand and practically pulled me back upstairs. “Let’s go and,” he said, wagging his eyebrows suggestively, “finish packing my bag for my trip.”

“Yes. We’ll be back in about ten minutes, Sophie.”

She didn’t even look back at us as we went up the stairs our large bathroom.

Drake followed me inside and locked the door behind him, before turning to me, a leer in his eye.

I was already wet and swollen.

“Shall we have a shower?” He began removing my clothes.

“I already had one.”

“You’re going to need another when I’m through with you.”

I smiled and leaned back against the glass shower door. “Whatever you say.”

He pulled down the shoulder straps of my sundress to reveal the tops of my breasts and began nuzzling them, each one in turn. The feel of lips on my skin sent my already-fast heart rate even faster, and so I closed my eyes and gave myself over to the sensations. He knew exactly how to work me up quickly and efficiently, so that a quickie was just as satisfying as what he jokingly called a ‘longie’.

I sighed once more, because his words made me feel so good. They also sent a jolt of lust right to my core as I remembered what a quickie with Drake was like. It wasn’t quite as quick as it might otherwise be and was always satisfying.

I undressed and got into the shower and Drake turned the water on, then undressed himself.
