Beautiful Strangers (6 page)

  
Undressing and slipping into his
tub the warm water felt so good after the day I had. Jaxson slipped in beside
me and I nestled my head on his shoulder while he stroked my hair.

  
“Mmm you have no idea how good
this feels,” I moaned into his neck my nipples instantly becoming hard when
they grazed his arm.

  
“Yes I do,” he sighs, “this has
been a long day of all work and no play.”

   
“So let’s play!” I shrieked
splashing him right in the face. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him
showering my neck and shoulders with tender kisses.

   
Scooting from his grasp to sit
beside him I had to ask, “So are you and Sadie a couple?” He got a serious look
to his face and I felt his arms tense.
   

   
“That’s one thing I need to
talk to you about. Sadie used to be my girlfriend but now our relationship is
strictly professional.” His muscles started to relax and I continued kissing
across his chest as he spoke.

  
“I thought she was different and
it was nice having someone who was living the same life I was. Someone who is
in the industry, but she was only interested in how much being with me would
benefit her career. But I am under contract with her until we finish our final
tour. I am planning to leave Blackened Sunrise and go solo once this upcoming
tour ends. I only have six months to go until I am free.” He smiled like saying
it aloud felt really good.

   
“The video is for my first solo
single. Sadie isn’t happy. She says I won’t make it on my own, but this is
something I have wanted for quite some time. The label thinks we do better
appearing as a couple both on and off the stage. When I signed, we were still
involved and I was a complete dumbass and didn’t read all the terms. I am
obligated to do public appearances with her as a couple.
 
I’m not supposed to technically be seen
publicly dating other women,” he lets out his breath in a whoosh.

   
I sat there for a few minutes
trying to absorb everything before I spoke. “So I would need to be a secret,” I
frowned.

  
“We need to be discreet in
public but you are going to be in my video and there’s already enough buzz
about me being a playboy in the media. Not to count the coverage from last
night.” He cupped my face and planted a fierce kiss on my lips that said I own
you.

  
“I spoke to Sadie and she’s not
really that upset by it, it’s not like she doesn’t have plenty of men. She will
fuck anyone who benefits her career. She just said a heads-up would have been
nice. But she would like to talk with you to prep you in case the media goes
berserk after the video is released,” he said relaxing more.

   
I doubted very seriously that
Sadie was okay with any woman becoming involved with Jaxson but I kept that to
myself.

  
“Enough Sadie
talk
,”
he growled, pulling me into his lap, not giving me a chance to respond to
anything he said. He began teasing my breast with his mouth, when he suggested
we continue in his room. I was very eager to comply. Things were definitely
headed in a better direction for once in my life. Jaxson’s bedroom was very
masculine, unlike the little I saw of the rest of his home.

Push me, Pull me, Tease me, Please
me….

   
He shoved me onto the bed
playfully but a little rough.
 
Controlling Jaxson was back and boy did he mean business. He pinned my
arms back over my head daring me to move them as he ravished my body with his
tongue and his firm hands. It’s as if he knew exactly where to touch me. My
core is humming with anticipation as he teases my warm center, lightly brushing
his cock against my inner thighs.

   
I screamed his name in pleasure
“Jax!”

  
“Tell me what you want Gracie?”
he whispered in his all knowing voice in my ear. His voice is raw with desire,
still teasing me.

  
He knows damn well what I want.

   
“I want you to beg me to fuck
you Gracie,” he roars. Slowly slipping just the tip of his hard length in me
and slowly drawing back out. I am hanging on the brink of pure bliss but I will
not give him the satisfaction of hearing me beg. It is hard not to beg him to
fuck me and get it over with but I don’t play the prey easily anymore and he
will be the one begging.

   
“What’s the matter Gracie, to
proud to beg?” He teased.

    
He had let go of my arms at
this point and I planned on taking full advantage. He was hovering over me
nibbling on my ear and dipping his finger in and out of my wet core, when I
surprised him by smacking him on the ass with my bare palm hard as I could.

   
The look on his face made me
giggle, and he lost it.

  
“Are you laughing at me
Gracie?”
 
He moved to sitting on the side
of the bed.

  
“Come here,” he ordered and I
obliged. “Didn’t I tell you I would punish you, if you were bad?”

  
“Please do,” I whisper placing
myself across his lap. I know what is to come and I am ready.

   
“Oh Gracie,” he sighed, “you
are very naughty, you will be the death of me,” as he began to spank me hard.
He wasn’t going to take it easy and I met each of his smacks with a moan. My
ass would be sore tomorrow but right now I am determined not to beg.

   
He had enough of waiting me out
as he lies back on the bed and instructs me take control. I had been hell bent
on making him be the one to beg but I sensed he needed a release as much as I
did. I straddled him in a backwards cowgirl and took him into me and began
pumping myself up and down faster and faster on his shaft.

  
“Turn around and face me,” he
commands. “I want to see your face when you come.” I obey and let him back on
top.

  
“Gracie your killing me,” he
moaned as we both found our release.

    
He collapsed beside of me and
groaned, “Damn if you’re not amazing! I don’t know if I could ever get enough
of nights like this. You are more stubborn than I am,” he chuckled smacking me
with his pillow.

   
There is no way I deserve him,
I told myself. Once again I drifted off to the best sleep thanks to this
beautiful man. Thankfully I awoke alone. Breaking out in cold sweats in front
of him would be unbearable. If he truly knew me he would run hard and fast.
There was a note on his pillow.

Gracie,

 
Make yourself at home taking some business
calls in my office come find me when you are ready for breakfast

                                     
Jaxson

Not letting go…..

   
I made my way into his
bathroom. Wow I could swim in his tub but decided on the shower. Who needs a
shower that could easily fit six people? I don’t even know where to begin there
is so many different shower heads. I feel a little strange rummaging through
his drawers in search of a hair dryer. But I was happy I didn’t find any
evidence of another woman in them either.

   
I spied my purse on his night
stand and took a half hit of speed after dressing. I began wandering through
the hall to the stairs when the strumming of a guitar caught my attention. I
followed the sound and found a shirtless Jaxson in what must be his music room.

   
The sight of him with his
guitar was something to file away in my head to look upon again and again
later. He was singing low to himself. I couldn’t make out the words but the
melody his fingers produced left me breathless. The room was decked out in
Elvis memorabilia. He stopped playing when he noticed me standing there wearing
only an old Doors t-shirt I swiped from his closet.
 

   
“A guy could get used to this
sight in the morning,” he smiled.

   
“I could say the same; it
shouldn’t be legal for you to be shirtless with your guitar.” I smiled back
biting my top lip while admiring the view.

   
“Are you hungry?”

   
“No I can’t eat this soon after
waking; it doesn’t set right with me.” No way would I say, sorry I’m a speed
freak and it curves my appetite. “But I will join you, if you’re hungry,” I
said meekly.

  
“Nah I’m good, I don’t do early
breakfast either,” he grinned at me. He sat his guitar to the side and pulled
me into his lap.

  
“I talked to my manager this
morning and he said we have the permits we need to begin shooting the video. He
wants to start first thing on Monday morning. He faxed over all the
information. We can look over it together in my office,” he grinned at me
again.

  
“Sounds good, I am off on
Sundays so an early call time won’t be a problem for me.”

   
I couldn’t help but smile back
at him once more. I feel like a giddy school girl. Stop smiling so damn much, I
chastised myself. He’s going to think you’re already sounding out his last name
after your own name.

  
We went over the general outline
of what I needed to know about the shoot which wasn’t much. The video was going
to portray us as lovers and I was lying to him and leading a double life.

  
Wow if that’s not very far from
the truth. I wasn’t lying to him, but I wasn’t exactly being completely honest
about myself either.

 
    
I found my clothes still lying by the hot
tub and I pulled my jeans on and tucked my cami into my purse. He wasn’t
getting his t-shirt back. It would be my new favorite sleep shirt; it smells
just like his soap. We both agreed that it would be better if Raymond drove me
back to my car. No need in fueling more rumors if he was being watched.

  
“I hate to let you leave,” he
pouted.

  
“I would love to stay but I
really do need to go home and run some errands before work tonight.” I state
trying not to sound so sad to leave him as well.

   
“Maybe you will see me there,”
he said with a look that hoped I’d say please.

  
“If not, I’ll see you Monday” I
replied playing it cool. I don’t want him to think I am too eager. He kissed my
forehead as I ducked into the Mercedes.

   
After getting my car I drove
through a generic fast-food drive through for a chicken biscuit and orange
juice. I took my phone out, numerous random texts from Jocelyn wanting to know
where I disappeared to after work and one text from Evan with only a sad face
icon.

   
I deleted Evans text and told
Jocelyn I had to go over my contract for the video. She doesn’t need to know
any details she can spill to the press. Not that she would sell me out but she
does screw Jaxson’s boss.

  
I made it home and found myself
curiously Googling Jaxson and the top article was still of us leaving the club.
Then I stumbled across a statement given by Sadie Blake. “In response to recent
rumors of a straying Jaxson Hayes Ms. Blake has issued the following statement:

 
Jaxson and I are as much in love
as ever. The photos you have seen are of him and a dancer he is featuring in
his new video, all you’re seeing is two friends out for a drink, nothing more.”

   
Maybe she isn’t too bad after
all I thought to myself. Well I will find out when I meet her. Jaxson did
mention she would be making an appearance for the paparazzi to see her on set
at the video shoot. I settled in for a nap I was so groggy, the effects of
taking less speed I’m sure.

   
I found myself having a horrible
nightmare about Sadie and Jaxson. We were at Masquerade and she was sitting on
stage seated on a thrown with Jaxson standing by her side. She was laughing at
me as I lay crumpled on the floor surrounded by photos of myself snorting speed
along with others of me with the man I had whored myself to when I was with
Evan.

   
I woke in a pouring sweat and
my nose dripping blood onto my favorite quilt. The sight of the blood made me
nauseous, I ran for the bathroom praying to hold my breakfast down. I sat
hugging my toilet for what seemed like hours. I stole a glance at the clock,
shit I needed to get ready for work.

   
As bad as I hated myself for
it, I took a whole hit of speed but I will never snort it again after today’s
nosebleed, and my dream. What if someone told Jaxson about my past before I am
able? I will tell him after the video shoot before someone like Evan beats me
to it.
                          

    
I get to work and Reggie has
some photos of costumes she wants to look over with me, this perked my mood
some. She did have a really neat idea for my costume and what song I should
use. I asked her if she minded waiting until after my shoot this coming week
before we started shopping and she agreed.

    
I hope she doesn’t think I’m
trying to put all the work off on her. Jocelyn was in a great mood as well I
thought it was something to do with Bradley, but apparently Robert Drake had
used his Devils tongue and horned his way back into her life. Not my place to
say something though, she’s a big girl and can take care of herself. I just
hope she knows what she is doing.
