“I’m not going back to Miami anytime soon, James.” 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 time I had spent with James when I was in Miami, he had continuously tried to convince me to go to school in south Florida. Not once had he expressed the idea of being okay with me finishing school up here.
That would mean whatever we had would be long distance, and trying to imagine how that would work given the circumstances, was impossible.
Could a man like James stay faithful to me while being so far away?
Men had urges that sometimes needed to be filled.
“What about Allison? She threatened to ruin my education multiple times.”
The thought of having my last year at school destroyed because James wanted to keep me was spine chilling. I had worked so hard to get where I was, and as much as I cared about James, 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 me and tried to preoccupy myself with eating. As happy as I was to see James, I couldn’t shake the twittering feeling in my stomach of fear.
Why couldn’t things with James just be as easy as they were with Neal?
Instead, he came with so many complications, and those complications were flying red flags waving high in the sky, trying to warn me to stay away.
“This food is amazing,” I said, as my eyes met his again. “I need to know how they make this.”
“Well, that’s easy enough to find out,” James 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 James’ apartment building in New York. We passed door after door until we finally came 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 me to enter. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting of the apartment, but it was definitely way more lavish than the one Neal had.
Tall vaulted ceilings, white walls, and modern decor lined the home. 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 me before arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me close. “I have honestly only been here a few times, 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 moment, but there was still something I had to know for sure. I had to be honest with him about how I felt, and that terrified me.
“I have to tell you something.” 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, James, and I’m terrified that you will hurt me.” Casting my eyes down, I waited in hesitation for the rejection I was so sure that he would give me, but he lifted my eyes to meet 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 me up bridal style and carried me towards his bedroom.
A soft giggle escaped my lips at his action, but as he laid me down on the soft sheets, I quickly realized this would not be like other times.
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 moment, and with every whimper leaving my lips begging him to fill me, his smile widened. “I love you, Rebecca,” he whispered, making me breathless as he shoved his entire length inside me.
I didn’t miss the opportunity to capture his lips with my own as our bodies became one. As I clung to him, he thrust deep inside of me, forcing the small cries of pleasure from my lips that I was expecting.
“Oh, f*ck…” I moaned.
“Tell me you’re mine,” he grunted as he bit lightly upon my neck, causing me to gasp, closing in on the intense release of pleasure that I was expecting.
“I’m yours, James. Forever and Always.”
The moment 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 me, and when I didn’t think I could take anymore, my walls tightened around him, and I came undone as he stilled inside of me.
He leaned down, kissing me 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 me, he pulled me 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 moment 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 bummer 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 something most people could handle, and while other relationships fell through, I was determined to see it work.
“Well, then, tomorrow you can help me check out my new apartment by the school if you want.”
“New apartment?” he said with a questioning glance.
“Yeah,” I smirked. “I can’t stay in the old apartment 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 apartment is amazing, though, so I’m okay with it. Honestly.”
“Knowing you, I’m sure it is. Where is this new apartment?” This was something I wasn’t sure he was going to like, but trust was something 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 apartments were anywhere between four and seven thousand dollars a month. However, Neal had bought multiple units there, and the one he got for me 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.”
James’ face fell slightly hearing that I had to go by Neal’s, but he pushed the emotion back and smiled at me. “Sounds like fun.”
“Give me a moment, and I’ll grab my things,” I called out to James as I made my way through the living room toward my bedroom. Neal wasn’t home right now, but that was fine. He texted me to let me know he was heading up towards the university to sign off on the properties he purchased.
I wasn’t sure how he could make things happen so quickly, but I knew, in the society of the rich, there were no timelines to getting what you wanted.
Packing my clothes into my suitcase, I moved around the room and stopped when I felt someone behind me. Turning, I spotted James leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed over his chest and an unsettling look on his face.
“What’s wrong?”
Taking a moment, he shook his head and pushed a smile onto his face. “Nothing. Almost done?”
I knew there was more to what he wasn’t saying, but I chose not to press him for the information. If he really wanted me to know, he would tell me, and right now wasn’t the place for it.
Zipping up the last of my bags, James took the large one, and I moved with the other, heading through the living room towards the front door. “Are you going to miss it?”
His question caught me off guard, but as he looked at me, I tried to understand what he meant. “Miss what?”
“Neal’s place…. It’s nice here.”
My eyes widened in realization. He was jealous, and now it was more than obvious.
That car ride to Yale was more uncomfortable than I thought it was going to be. James was quiet, and even though we had a small, casual conversation, I wasn’t sure what had changed his mood from how he was that morning.
Ever since we went to Neal’s, he had been acting incredibly weird. “Looks like it’s that building right there.” I said, pointing towards a large brick building with red and white finishes.
He pulled the sleek, black sedan into a parking spot, and we slowly piled out of the car. To my surprise, Neal came walking down the steps with a smile on his face. “You guys made it!”
“Neal!” I replied with a smile as I hugged him. “Did everything go okay with the signing?”
“Of course, it did,” he replied smugly. “Come on now, it’s me you’re talking to.”
“Very true—”
“What’s going on?” James said, interrupting me. Turning to look at him, I hesitated in my words because the dark stormy look in his eyes was not one of happiness.
“I am giving Becca the keys to her apartment,” Neal replied with a raised brow as he held up a pair of keys and held them out to me.
Gently taking them, I gave him a smile and mouthed the words thank you. I didn’t understand what James’ problem was. If he had been a woman, I would have asked if it was that time of the month for him, considering how he was acting.
“Why would you be giving her keys? Is the apartment yours?”
Tilting my head to the side, I glared at James while furrowing my brows. “Yes, it is. I am going to manage a few properties he just bought in this building for him, and in return, I get to stay in this apartment for free for my last year.”
James’ gaze slid from Neal to me, and for a moment, I thought he was going to burst with anger over the situation. Yet, instead, he managed to contain his emotions.
He unclenched his fist and forced a smile to his face. “That was kind of you.”
