Chapter Seventeen
The day's work was done and Carmella started packing up for the day. "Come, I'll drop you off," said Jaxon, coming out of his office with a smile on his face. Carmella noticed the excitement in his tone as his eyes shone with happiness. It was so different from the image she had encountered when she had first met him. Was it all because of her? It was too good to believe.
She followed him to the elevators after waving at Phil who was also wrapping up his work for the day. Jaxon led her to the parking lot and to his car. "Where's Joe?" She asked him.
"I've sent him home. He's already been here since six in the morning. I came to my office early to cope with the pending work," he informed her.
"Oh you must be very tired," she said as he steered the car out of the parking lot.
Carmella noticed that he steered the car and drove in the direction opposite to where her apartment was. "Where are we going? Your apartment is on that side, isn't it?" She asked him.
"Very impressive. No one can kidnap you easily if you're always so alert," he grinned.
"Are you trying to kidnap me then?" She asked him with a brow quirked up.
"Yes," he admitted with a smile.
"Oh. So where are you taking me to?" She asked although she had the feeling that he was taking her to dinner.
"My home," he said, briefly glancing in her direction.
Her face brightened up at the prospect of going to see his special home with which he was so much in love.
"Thank you, thank you, I really wanted to see it," she clapped and Jaxon smiled warmly at her reaction. What was it about this girl that he couldn't wipe the permanent smile from his face. He felt euphoric and giddy like a teenager around his first crush.
They reached a beautiful mansion tucked away in a corner of a posh neighbourhood with houses on either side of a wide tree-lined avenue. Jaxon drove through the huge metallic gates and parked his car in the garage. Carmella stared at the stunning limestone mansion which glowed in the lights of the setting sun. Immaculate lawns with manicured flowering gardens made the house look picture perfect. Anyone would fall in love with such a house, even Carmella did.
"Come on, let's go inside," said Jaxon, leading her inside the house into a vestibule with double doors that opened into a white marble clad Gallery. Beyond it there was a grand dining room to easily accommodate twenty-five guests. There was an adjacent kitchen where a four-seater dining table was accommodated overlooking the flower gardens in the backyard. The pantry was absolutely pristine and featured all top of the line appliances. A wide and graciously ascending staircase led to the upper floors. It was a sprawling 5500 square foot residence which comprised a total of three storeys with an immaculately finished basement.
"Do you like it?" He asked eagerly.
"I love it. It's truly a beautiful house," she admitted. Jaxon smiled, "Thank you, " he said.
"Come let's have dinner," he said, leading her to his dining table in the kitchen. He went to the counter to serve the dinner that his housekeeper had cooked before leaving for the day.
Carmella followed him towards the kitchen counter. "Looks delicious," she said. Jaxon handed her the plates and cutlery and she carried them to the table. He carried the food and they sat down to eat the delicious food.
"Stay back tonight with me please," he said suddenly and she gaped at him. Did he ask her to stay the night?
"I actually.. ," she started hesitantly.
"Don't worry we won't have sex if you're not ready. I can wait. Just stay with me, please," he implored her.
"Okay, I'll stay but I don't have any clothes to wear," she complained but he just grinned and concentrated on his food.
"What?" He asked with a smirk when she looked at him trying to figure out what was going on in his mind.
"You didn't answer me?" She asked puzzled by the stupid grin on his face. Jaxon grinned at her innocence.
"You won't need any clothes, " he said with a faint smile tugging at his lips. He got up and went to the sink with his plate. Carmella's jaws dropped as she gaped at him. What the hell! Her cheeks coloured profusely and she got up to go to clear the table.
He glanced in her direction and felt himself go hard at the thought of her naked in his arms the whole night. He could feel his growing erection clearly visible through his trousers. She came to the sink to clean the dishes. He moved a little to make space for her.
Carmella could feel the sudden change in his behaviour. There was a magnetic element in the air, attracting the two of them towards each other. As Carmella cleaned the dishes and rinsed them, Jaxon stood behind her, drying the dishes and storing them in the cabinet behind him. His chest, arms and legs brushed with hers every now and then and she shivered with anticipation of what was to come.
He came closer to her from behind, his arms went around her waist as he pulled her into his body. She froze when she felt his massive erection poking into her. His mouth lowered to her neck and sucked the sensitive spot there. He kept grinding into her from the back and Carmella could feel herself getting soaking wet already.
"Jaxon," she moaned and he just turned her around and claimed her lips in a wild and passionate kiss. His hands went to her hips and ground them to his erection while his lips plundered her, tasted the sweetness of her mouth. She kissed him back too, holding his head with her hands.
Jaxon lost it when he felt her sweet response. He simply picked her up, her legs going around his torso and he strode towards the staircase. He effortlessly climbed up with her to the master bedroom.
Laying her down on the bed, he stared at her with dark eyes as he unbuttoned his shirt. Carmella's eyes widened. What was he going to do? She shivered with excitement.
Jaxon discarded his shirt, exposing his muscular, Greek God-like body for her to admire. His hands then went to unbuckle his belt and her eyes widened further. "What are you doing?" She whispered looking up at him smiling with amusement.
"Stripping, " he said and she blushed like a tomato.
"But you said we won't do it, " she reminded him. She was in fact disappointed that he didn't want to have sex with her. Maybe he didn't find her attractive enough. Here she was a virgin even at twenty-one.
"I remember that but you can touch me, can't you?" He asked in a tortured voice.
He came over to the bed wearing only his trousers, hovering over her, his pupils dilated and his breath slow and unsteady. "And let me touch you? I want to see you. See what's only mine," he whispered, tracing his finger along her lips, down her throat, her cleavage to her abdomen. Carmella's breath hitched and he stopped.
He started unbuttoning her top, "Let me see you please, " he said as the top fell apart and he discarded it. His fingers unclasped her bra and pulled it away from her body, discarding it somewhere. His dark eyes shone with lust as he touched her perky creamy breasts. "So beautiful," he murmured in a daze, lowering his mouth and claiming one of them. His hands teased the other one while he sucked like a baby.
Carmella closed her eyes as the pleasure was too much for her to bear. She moaned and caressed his hair wanting him to touch her everywhere.
"Jaxon," she moaned his name and he groaned in agony. His hand went to her skirt and unbuttoned it, pulling it down with one yank. His fingers tore off her flimsy panties away and discarded it somewhere. He was unable to control himself as he watched her young untouched creamy soft body lying beneath him waiting to be touched.
"You're exquisitely beautiful," he murmured, touching her baby soft skin, stroking her thighs, his fingers trailing upwards.
"Jaxon please, " she begged him.
"Please what baby? Tell me what you want," he asked, his eyes hungrily taking her in. He knew he had lost it and wouldn't be able to control himself any longer. He had never lost control in all his twenty-nine years of life and now just looking at her has made him hard and throbbing.
"Please make love to me Jaxon," she whispered. He didn't waste another minute, his fingers slipped into her slithery, wet folds and he thrust in and out of her tight core. Carmella gasped and moaned and held onto his head and shoulders as she came undone onto his fingers.
"Do you want me inside you Carmella? You know what this means? It means you're mine forever. I'll make love to you only if you're ready. There's no going back from here," he said with love shining in his eyes. He knew that after this there couldn't be a professional relationship between them ever. After this they would belong to each other for life.
"Yes, Jaxon, I want to belong to you," she whispered. Jaxon discarded his clothes and positioned himself above her, entering her slick wet folds with one thrust.
They made love again and again till they were too exhausted to continue.
