“Yes, they do. You’re even on our healthcareuntil you’re twenty-five, married or pregnant. Then you’ll be backon just Medicare. Even then you wouldn’t because we’d get our ownpolicy.”
What the hell was Stephan going on about?“This doesn’t solve what I said.”
“Look into the two Unis I’ve mentioned. I’llhelp you. Um, you know what. Why don’t we go visit them in ourholidays? I’ll book a hotel in Newcastle for a couple of days andwe can spend a week on the Gold Coast.”
“I can’t let your parent’s fork out moremoney. They have already spent a fortune on me.” I felt guiltyabout all the money Stephan and his parents threw my way. I wasn’twith him for his money. I’d done fine without it before. I hope hedidn’t think I wanted his money.
Reaching up I caressed his cheek. “I want youto know I don’t need or want your money. You could lose it alltomorrow and I wouldn’t care. I don’t need or want you to keepspending it. I want you to know I’m with you for you. Not what youcan buy me. ”
“I know and that’s one of the reasons why Ilove you.”
Pulling his face down I kissed him, brushingmy lips over his before I nipped his lips, giggling at his grunt,which turned into a moan when he did it back. I wrapped my armsaround his neck. “How’d I get so lucky?”
He rested his forehead against mine. “Doesthat mean you’re going to check out those Unis?”
“Yeah, I’ll check them out.”
Chapter Fifteen
Jade
I spent the next couple of days looking intothe universities Stephan told me about. Griffith University inQueensland the Gold Coast, looked promising, it was situated inplace were there were a lot of tourists so jobs would be plentifulif I needed one for any reason. I hated to rely on Stephan and hisfamily for money. It didn’t feel right no matter what they said. Ididn’t have any family to keep me in NSW so moving to another statefor university wouldn’t matter to me.
Stephan parked in the car park of the hotelby the beach we were staying in Newcastle for three nights. I’dwaited in the car as Stephan confirmed our booking and received ourkeys. The three-hour drive had been long and I was glad to arriveat the hotel. I wasn’t one to sit for long periods of time.
I was excited about staying in a fancy hotel.I was so ready for something more with Stephan. His family was inthe house and I so didn’t want to have sex and have to look them inthe eyes a couple of hours later knowing what I’d done. We’d beenhaving oral sex for a couple of week, and it had helped me relaxfor the trial HSC. I was enjoying myself too, but I could barelylook at Stephan’s family afterwards. I knew if I had sex with himin the house the embarrassment of knowing they were close, andworrying they would hear or walk in, would freak me out. I lovedStephan. I could admit it to myself and was ready to take it to thenext step and make love to him. Anything had to be better than thisconstant arousal.
Nervously, I’d packed my luggage with sexynew clothes including a tempting bra and G-string. So tempting, Ihoped he’d let me take the lead and move our relationship to thenext level.
A bellman came and took our luggage and theelevator took us to the top floor. We went down a small hall withtwo doors. Turning to our left we opened the door pressing ourelectric key over the lock and walked into the spacious two bedroompenthouse suite. The ocean views were amazing and I went straightto the balcony overlooking the beach. The sun was about to set andI sat and watched the beautiful scene as the sunset hit thewater.
Stephan came out and massaged my shoulders. Ileaned into him moaning at the amazing feeling. He kissed my head.“I’m going to go hop in the shower and freshen up.”
Crap, now was my chance. It was perfect.“Sure. I’ll be waiting right here.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to join me.”
Oh boy did I, but I knew if I did I’d chickenout. “Nah, I’m going to watch this.”
“Oh, okay.” I could hear the disappointmentin his voice and bit my lip to stop from giggling.
He walked away and I waited until I was surehe was in the shower. Running to my bag I rummaged through it forwhat I wanted to wear. I freshened up with some wipes and shook myhair out trying for the messy seductive look.
Stephan turned the shower off and I took adeep breath. I could do this. I hoped the stripper heels and blacklace gave him a hint at what I was doing and he’d take over becauseright now I wasn’t feeling like the go get ‘em woman. “I’m aconfidant sexy woman.” Ha. The shake in my voice almost had merunning and hiding. Positioning myself on the end of the bed Iwaited for the door to open and hoped I looked sexy andirresistible.
Closing my eyes I took more calming breaths.I could be sexy, I could seduce him.
“Holy shit, Jade, what are you doing?”
Snapping my eyes open I didn’t say anythingbut cleared my suddenly dry throat and walked to Stephan praying Ididn’t break my fucking neck in the shoes. Stephan seemed frozen ashe stared at me. He only had a towel wrapped around his waist and Ihoned in on his tattoo. My heart flip-flopped every time I saw myname. My gaze traveled down his perfect six-pack abs to thebeginning of his happy trail.
Holy shit. All I had to do was look at himnaked and I became achy and hot. Reaching out I smoothed the padsof my fingers down his chiseled chest and hooked them on the towel,unraveling it and letting it fall to the ground. Before I lost mynerve I yanked him to me and plastered my mouth to his. His handstouched my heated skin and I deepened the kiss seeking his tongueand tangling it with my own. My fingers wrapped around his dick andI slid my hand up and down. I was nervous, I’d jacked him offbefore but tonight was going to be different—I was going to takehim inside me. I was going to lose my virginity, and give him onemore thing that had been only mine.
My whole body was alive with need, lustflowing through me. Stephan had always given me almost an electricneed for him. He cupped my bare arse lifting me slightly. Thehooker heels made me taller, but still not as tall as him.
I rubbed my body against him. “I want you.I’m ready. I want to make love to you.” I had been through so muchwith Stephan I knew he was the one. I loved him. I had for a longtime, it's why it broke me when he left. I didn’t give my lovelightly, everyone I loved never seemed to love me back. Stephan wastrying. He told me he loved me and he’d tattooed my name on him andthat shit was permanent.
Wanting to move to the bed, I tore my mouthfrom his and took a step back holding out my hand. “Come on. I wantto do this on a soft bed.”
