Sitting down in the restaurant, I took in the general splendor for dim lighting and warm colors. The entire air of the place was rather romantic, and the way Jas looked at made feel as if I was the only woman in the room he had eyes for, and perhaps that was true, but I had to keep my head straight.
“This place is really nice,” I said as I continued to admire the room before letting my eyes fall upon him. The lust filled gaze he was giving made my stomach knot with anticipation.
“I figured you would like it,” he replied, lifting his wineglass to his lips with a smirk upon his face.
To think, just days ago, I was considering letting go of everything I had with Jas, and now I was sitting here across from him trying to decide if the situation was real or just an elaborate dream I had co up with.
“I suppose we should discuss so things...”
Hesitation filled my words, but my thoughts kept swirling over the possibility he had been pining for day and night since we had parted. Biting my bottom lip, I contemplated the idea, but I felt more foolish than before.
“What would you like to talk about, Becca?” Jas asked, as if he didn’t realize the complications of our current situation.
“Well, for starters, what made you decide to co here? I an, you said it was for , but I’m slightly confused—”
“Isn’t it obvious, though?” Jas replied, as his gaze fell deeply into mine.
“Perhaps, but I want to know why you suddenly want this to work.”
Taking a mont, he adjusted himself in his seat. “After you left, I figured out a few things, Becca. One was that Allison and Tally had purposely set the entire thing up to complicate situations and force you to leave.”
Sneering, I folded my arms across my chest. “Well, that makes sense. The second thing?”
“I realized I didn’t want another mont to go by where I didn’t have you in it.”
There was a genuine expression across his face as he stared at . It was the second ti he had expressed wanting , and his view hadn’t changed.
“I’m not going back to Miami anyti soon, Jas.” The waitress brought the food we had ordered to our table. “I plan on finishing school.”
“I know,” he said with a bemused smile on his face. “I have accepted that.”
Over the course of ti I had spent with Jas when I was in Miami, he had continuously tried to convince to go to school in south Florida. Not once had he expressed the idea of being okay with finishing school up here.
That would an whatever we had would be long distance, and trying to imagine how that would work given the circumstances, was impossible.
Could a man like Jas stay faithful to while being so far away?
n had urges that sotis needed to be filled.
“What about Allison? She threatened to ruin my education multiple tis.”
The thought of having my last year at school destroyed because Jas wanted to keep was spine chilling. I had worked so hard to get where I was, and as much as I cared about Jas, I wasn’t willing to let anyone destroy my future.
“I will deal with Allison. You don’t need to worry about her in regards to your education, Becca.” His set his jaw into a firm hold as his eyes contacted mine. He was being serious, and the determination was obvious.
Nodding, I looked down at the pasta in front of and tried to preoccupy myself with eating. As happy as I was to see Jas, I couldn’t shake the twittering feeling in my stomach of fear.
Why couldn’t things with Jas just be as easy as they were with Neal?
Instead, he ca with so many complications, and those complications were flying red flags waving high in the sky, trying to warn to stay away.
“This food is amazing,” I said, as my eyes t his again. “I need to know how they make this.”
“Well, that’s easy enough to find out,” Jas replied as a smile grew across his face.

As dinner finished, I fell into old ways, and eventually, I was walking down the long hallway of Jas’ apartnt building in New York. We passed door after door until we finally ca to one at the end of the hall that read 1972.
Pulling the key from his pocket, he opened the door wide and stepped back for to enter. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting of the apartnt, but it was definitely way more lavish than the one Neal had.
Tall vaulted ceilings, white walls, and modern decor lined the ho. As beautiful as it was, it felt so impersonal and cookie cutter, in my opinion. However, stepping forth, I took in the spectacular views of the New York skyline.
Breathtaking was the only way to describe such a view. “This is beautiful.”
“I’m glad you like it,” he chuckled behind before arms wrapped around my waist, pulling close. “I have honestly only been here a few tis, but I’m glad I get to be here with you now.”
With a clenching heart, I turned around in his arms and looked up into his eyes. I wanted more than anything to be free in the mont, but there was still sothing I had to know for sure. I had to be honest with him about how I felt, and that terrified .
“I have to tell you sothing.” As he brushed his thumb over my cheek, I whispered softly, “I’m afraid...”
“Why are you afraid, Rebecca?” he whispered as he gently pressed his lips to my forehead. Fuck, here goes nothing, I guess.
“I’m afraid I’m falling in love with you, Jas, and I’m terrified that you will hurt .” Casting my eyes down, I waited in hesitation for the rejection I was so sure that he would give , but he lifted my eyes to et his again and crashed his lips to mine in a soft and sultry way.
There wasn’t a response to what I said in a way that I was expecting. However, there was more to this man I could ever explain. Reaching down, he picked up bridal style and carried towards his bedroom.
A soft giggle escaped my lips at his action, but as he laid down on the soft sheets, I quickly realized this would not be like other tis.
Piece by piece, we stripped our clothing from our bodies, and as it was, I felt nothing but love and care seeping off his body onto mine. With the gentle caress of the sheets against my back, I felt the thick head of his massive erection press against my folds.
Slow and tantalizing was the mood for the mont, and with every whimper leaving my lips begging him to fill , his smile widened. “I love you, Rebecca,” he whispered, making breathless as he shoved his entire length inside .
I didn’t miss the opportunity to capture his lips with my own as our bodies beca one. As I clung to him, he thrust deep inside of , forcing the small cries of pleasure from my lips that I was expecting.
“Oh, f*ck...” I moaned.
“Tell you’re mine,” he grunted as he bit lightly upon my neck, causing to gasp, closing in on the intense release of pleasure that I was expecting.
“I’m yours, Jas. Forever and Always.”
The mont wasn’t like the others, and with his sweet love making, I finally felt the way I always had wanted to feel. I felt desired, wanted, and loved.
Harder and faster he drove into , and when I didn’t think I could take anymore, my walls tightened around him, and I ca undone as he stilled inside of .
He leaned down, kissing softly once more. “You’re so beautiful.”
The blush that crept across my cheeks was unexpected, but when he pulled out and laid next to , he pulled close to him, letting my head rest against his chest.
“I know things are going to be hard while you finish school, Becca. I want you to know, though, that we will make it work if that’s what you want.”
Taking a mont to consider what he was saying, I glanced up at him under darkened lashes and smiled. “Yes, I want to try.”
I wouldn’t give in and believe in it completely. There was still a possibility things could go wrong, and if they did, I didn’t want to get my hopes up. I had to go in with this with a different outlook, so that way, if things fell apart, I would be prepared.
“I’m glad you do, because I was so lost without you.”
He kissed the top of my head, and I smiled and ran my fingers over the front of his chest. “When are you leaving to go back to Miami?”
“The day after tomorrow,” he replied, letting out a heavy breath. “I wish I could stay longer, but I can’t.”
It was a bumr he was leaving, but I knew in the back of my mind that this was going to have to be what I expected.
Long distance wasn’t sothing most people could handle, and while other relationships fell through, I was determined to see it work.
“Well, then, tomorrow you can help check out my new apartnt by the school if you want.”
“New apartnt?” he said with a questioning glance.
“Yeah,” I smirked. “I can’t stay in the old apartnt with Tally.”
Nodding his head with realization, he sighed. “I wish she wasn’t so difficult.”
“She wouldn’t be Tally if she wasn’t. The new apartnt is amazing, though, so I’m okay with it. Honestly.”
“Knowing you, I’m sure it is. Where is this new apartnt?” This was sothing I wasn’t sure he was going to like, but trust was sothing that we were going to have to rely on being so far apart.
Opening and closing my mouth, I smiled at him before saying, “Very close to campus.”
“So it will be easier for you to get to class then?” he asked as if he didn’t realize the campus apartnts were anywhere between four and seven thousand dollars a month. However, Neal had bought multiple units there, and the one he got for was free.
“Oh, very much so. Tomorrow we will swing by Neal’s so I can pack my things, and then we can drive up there. It will only take a few hours, and it will be fun.”
Jas’ face fell slightly hearing that I had to go by Neal’s, but he pushed the emotion back and smiled at . “Sounds like fun.”
