Chapter 189

• Entering the sunny breakfast room so late in the morning feels like a huge giveaway as to what we’ve been doing, so I’m glad to see it’s deserted; no one else is even up yet. Jake’s walking behind me with his hands on my shoulders and is much more relaxed; he’s practically horizontal now, and his mood is mellow. I guess finally making me orgasm multiple times has him in a much better mood. All my inner thoughts and emotions were no longer a hurdle when he started making love to me again. His confessions had made me extra responsive to his touch and barely able to last minutes before the first waves overtook me.
• He kisses me on the back of the head before taking my hand and leading me to a seat at the table already set with glasses and cutlery. Almost as soon as we sit, a maid comes in, bringing us hot plates of pancakes, eggs, sausages, and bacon and a bowl of fresh sliced fruit. He doesn’t even acknowledge the girl, but I smile warmly at her with thanks.
• “That’s really rude, you know,” I chastise him lightly, watching him lift his mug as he scans the newspaper and picks up his phone.
