One Wild Night

After spending a couple of days with Andy, Harry had grown to like her even more than he had the first day she came.

Andy's presence seemed to have made Candace happier and even more confident, too. And he liked seeing how she also made their father happy. From the way she treated and related to Aaron, no one would ever guess that she wasn't Aaron's biological daughter.

Harry was glad that he had spent the last couple of days with his family, and he looked forward to spending more time with them in the future.

Jade, on the other hand, couldn't wait for them to go back already. She had had enough fun and had satisfied her curiosity, and now, all she wanted was to be alone with her man.

After packing their luggage on Sunday morning, Jade looked around Harry's bedroom, "As much as I enjoyed my time here, I can't wait for us to get back to Ludus," Jade said as Harry picked up their luggage.

"Is there a special reason why you can't wait to get to Ludus? By the way, is Tom sending someone to pick you up and take you home?" He asked with a straight face as they walked out of his bedroom.

Jade looked at him in disbelief, "Jonas…." The rest of her words were forgotten when he broke into a chuckle, and she realized he had been messing with her.

"One of these days, I'm going to make you pay for always messing with me," she threatened.

"I don't mind paying. The look on your face was priceless just now. Don't worry. I'm not going to go back on my word. You can spend a week with me as planned," he said, and she raised a brow.

"Who said I was going to let you go back on your word? I will pull down your door if I have to," she threatened, and Harry laughed out loud as they got to the living room where the others were waiting.

"Finally, you are ready to leave. I've been waiting for so long to be rid of you," Candace said the moment she saw them, and Harry chuckled.

"I know you are going to miss me more than anyone else," Harry said confidently.

"I won't. I doubt I will even notice that you've gone," Candace said flippantly.

"Didn't you say it is wrong to tell lies? Why are you lying to Uncle Harry?" Jamal asked, and Harry, Aaron, and Andy chuckled while Candace raised a brow.

"What is your mom lying about, Jam?" Harry asked sweetly.

"I heard her and Aunt Andy talking about how they miss Matt and will miss you very much when you leave," Jamal said, and the others laughed while Candace scowled.

"You were eavesdropping…."

"I wasn't. I heard you talking about it when I came to the kitchen to get a bottle of water for Grandpa," Jamal said defensively.

"So, you are going to miss me. You don't have to be shy about it. Admit it, baby sis," Harry said as he playfully placed an arm around Candace's shoulders, and she pushed him away.

"Be on your way already. I don't want you to miss your flight and have to stay an extra day," Candace said with a scowl.

"If you insist. But before I leave, there is something I need to do," Harry said, and just then, he received a call.

"Yeah. You're outside? I will be right out," Harry said before hanging up.

"I can leave now. Let's go," Harry said, and Jade raised a brow.

"What do you need to do?" She asked, and he jerked his head outside.

"You will see," he said as he led the way outside.

Once they got outside, they saw two cars parked outside. One of them was a brand new convertible, and immediately the drivers saw them, they stepped out of the cars.

The driver who drove the BMW approached Harry with the car key and handed it to him, "It's not mine. It's hers," Harry said, jerking his head to Candace.

Candace's eyes widened as she took the car key from the driver, "What? Mine? How?" She asked in confusion.

"Jamal asked Tom to get you a car, remember? It's a gift from Tom. We've got to go now," Harry said while Jamal screeched happily as he ran to the car, tugging Andy's hand to come with him.

Andy snatched the key from Candace and ran with Jamal to check out the car while Aaron smiled as he watched the stunned look on Candace's face.

Too bad that Tom had beat him to getting Candace a car.

"Be good," Harry said to Candace and his dad, but before he could turn around, Candace embraced him.

"Take care of yourself," she said and pulled away to look at Jade.

"Between the both of you, I don't know who annoys me most. Make sure you take care of him," Candace said before pulling her in for a hug.

"And who is going to take care of me? Will you tell him to take care of me?" Jade asked, and Harry raised a brow.

"Do I need to be told to do that? We should leave now," Harry said, and both men who had brought the cars carried their luggage into the other car to drive them to the airport, where their jet was waiting.

"Take care of yourself, my soon-to-be father-in-law," Jade said as she embraced Aaron, and he chuckled as he hugged her back while Harry shook his head.

"He hasn't even asked you to marry him yet. Do you know if he is going to change his mind and…."

"I will kill him if he does. If you don't want to be twin brotherless, advise him not to mess with me," Jade threatened.

"For a lawyer, you sure make a lot of unlawyerly threats," Harry said as he took her hand and pulled her with him so they could leave.

Candace shook her head as she watched them leave, "She is always so needy and clingy."

"That's exactly the kind of partner your brother deserves. And I didn't hear you complain when Matt was over you all through his time here. You seemed to enjoy it a lot," Aaron said with a teasing smile, and Candace scowled at him, making him chuckle.

"Take care of yourself, favorite sister. See you in Ludus soon," Harry called to Andy, who was busy checking out Candace's new car.

"I'm going to miss you, Harry. And you too, Jade," Andy said before they could get into the car, and they both waved at her.

"Same here," Jade called back.

"Tell Tom and Lucy that I love them," Jamal called out to Harry.

"You will have to tell them that yourself, Buddy. Have your mom call them," Harry called back before getting into the backseat of the car with Jade while the other man sat in the front passenger seat.

As the driver drove off, Jade rested her head on Harry's shoulder, "Finally," she whispered, and Harry smiled.

By the time they arrived at Harry's apartment in Ludus some hours later, it was already evening, so they decided to order dinner.

The anticipation hung thick in the air as Harry and Jade stepped into Harry's apartment. The cozy familiarity of his space brought a sense of joy and relief, and Jade couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement about the prospect of spending their first night alone together.

The moment they stepped into Harry's bedroom, Harry set down their luggage while Jade dropped her handbag on the bed and fell face down on the bed.

Harry watched in amusement as she sniffed his sheets.

"It's so wonderful to finally be alone with you in here without the fear of anyone hearing us," Jade said after she sat up to look at him, and Harry chuckled.

He found it amusing that that was the first thought on her mind.

"Is that all you ever think about?" Harry asked, and Jade raised a brow.

"Is what all I ever think about?" Jade asked innocently.

"Having sex with me?"

"It's not sex. It's lovemaking. And no, that's not all I think about. I also think about getting married to you and having your kids. And you know I can't have your kids if you don't make love to me, so that makes me think of making love to you so much," Jade said, and Harry laughed out loud.

"You're too cute for your own good, esquire," Harry said, and Jade smiled.

"Am I?"

"Yes, you are. You effortlessly make me smile, and I find you very sexy," Harry said, and Jade rose from the bed and catwalked slowly to meet him.

"Really?" She drawled as she tried to strike a sexy pose, and Harry grinned.

"Really. Now, before you think about anything else, let's go freshen up," Harry said, placing his forefinger on the top of her head to turn her around before she could kiss him.

"Didn't you just say I'm sexy?" She asked with a pout.

"Yes, I did. But that doesn't mean I'm going to let you have your way with me so easily," Harry said, and Jade snorted.

"You won't let me have my way with you? I'm going to make you pay for all of this," Jade promised.

"I will be looking forward to it. For now, why don't you go shower?" He asked, and she frowned.

"Alone? Why? We have been showering together this whole time when we were at my family's house and yours, so why do we have to do so separately now that we have all the privacy in the world?" Jade asked with displeasure.

"Because someone needs to be in the living room to get the door when our dinner is delivered, and I need to quickly take care of something," Harry explained easily.

"Well, there is no hurry, is there? We can wait together and shower together after dinner has been delivered. Or you can handle whatever you need to handle while I wait to get the dinner," she said, and the doorbell rang.

"See? I will get the door while you handle your business," She said, flashing him a bright smile as she went to get the door.

Harry rubbed his chin as a thought occurred to him, and he walked into the bathroom.

"So, are you…." Jade paused mid-sentence when she returned to the bedroom and didn't see Harry, and her eyes narrowed when she heard water running in the bathroom.

"Harry, you are not having your shower without me, are…. Oh, wow!" she whispered softly, forgetting the rest of her earlier statement when she saw Harry running them a bath, and the only source of light in the bathroom was a couple of lit scented candles.

Candles flickered, casting a soft glow over the room, and the scent of lavender bath salts lingered in the air. The bathtub, brimming with warm water, awaited them.

"You got our dinner?" Harry asked, and Jade bobbed her head, unable to get her lips to work.

"I take it you would like a warm bath with me instead of a shower?" He asked when he saw how speechless she was, and once again, she bobbed her head.

"Say something," Harry said, and Jade smiled.

"I'm so happy my throat stopped working," she said, and Harry chuckled.

"You're always too easy to impress, esquire. Little things touch you so much," he said, and she nodded.

"I guess I should make it harder for you to impress me. That water is calling to me," Jade said as she stepped out of her clothes, and Harry shook his head as he straightened and picked up her clothes.

Harry neatly folded her clothes and placed them in the laundry basket before easing out of his and doing the same.

Together, they eased into the soothing embrace of the bath, the water creating a cocoon of tranquility around them.

Jade sighed softly as she leaned back against Harry, captivated by the intimacy of the moment. She couldn't help but marvel at the simple joy of sharing a quiet bath with someone special.

They both sat there in silence, enjoying the warmth of the water, and as the water began to cook, Harry kissed Jade's nape softly, and her eyelids drifted shut as she arched her neck.

"Want a massage?" He asked as he raised his hand to massage her shoulders, and she moaned.

"Oh, that feels so good," Jade groaned.

"Really? Wait till I give you a full body massage," Harry said, and Jade turned.

"Will you?"

"Yeah. We have the house to ourselves, remember?" He asked, and she grinned.

"Harry," she called breathlessly when she felt his hand go around her to the spot between her thighs.

"I've always wondered what it would be like to do this with you," Harry said in a husky voice as he slowly fingered her while kissing her ear.

"Do what?" Jade asked, unable to think clearly.

"Finger love you in a bathtub. You know I would have said finger fuck, but that's too crude a word for my precious lady," Harry said as he slid a finger into her, and she gasped softly as she adjusted against him.

"Tell me, how does this feel? How do you feel?" Harry whispered into her ear as he continued to use his finger on her, and Jade trembled.

"Harry, I…." Her voice cracked.

"Go on," Harry urged her.

She cleared her throat, "I can't. Not when your hand is in there, and I can feel your erection. And you better not get me started tonight if you're not going to go all the way," Jade warned as she pulled away from him and moved to the other side to sit opposite him.

"Who said I won't go all the way?"

"Don't mess with me, Harry," she said, and Harry smiled as he watched her.

"Alright," He said as he stepped out of the bathtub.

He picked up a towel before offering his hand to Jade to help her get out, too, and once she did, he handed her the towel.

They both dried their bodies as they returned to the bedroom, and Harry walked into his closet to get something to wear.

Harry stepped out a moment later wearing boxer briefs, and Jade, who was busy applying her night face cream, felt her heart skip several beats when she realized he was holding her white lace thong in his hand.

"Harry?" She asked, and he grinned.

"Remember what I told you? (chapter 499)," he asked, and she nodded.

"Will you let me put it on for you?" He asked, and she nodded eagerly again, with a wide smile on her face.
