Alcohol was almost always a factor when taking women home was concerned. Jake wasn't much of a drinker, but the women he targeted always were. There was no elixir more perfect for losing inhibitions. A few cocktails, some beers or even just straight shots and it was a sure thing that they would be in his bed at the end of the night. It was too easy. Emma was an entirely different conquest, though. She wasn't as uninhibited as her peers and unless she spiked that tea or it was vodka in that glass and not water, he was sure she wasn't drunk.
So, it wasn't as much of a sure thing being there with Emma inside of her bedroom. As much as he wanted to throw her on the bed, rip her clothes off and have his way with her, he had to be more methodical than ever. She might have lusted for him in the same way he lusted for her...in fact, he was sure of it. But she also was a woman who had more control over her life than the sloppy, sad excuses he pulled from the clubs.
Her initial reaction was promising. She was overwhelmed, but she seemed to respond to how close he was to her. The possessive way he took hold of her could have been misconstrued as something a little too forward. She didn't retreat or look startled. She just looked surprised was all. Jake couldn't let the opportunity slip away, but he noted the way she was trembling and was that...a tear? How had things gone from feeling as if they were ramping up to something incredible to the epitome of awkward in a matter of seconds?
Jake was frustrated. Sexually and otherwise. Had she been any other worthless bitch, he would have cut her to ribbons for being such a headache. But she wasn't. He actually cared for her. He didn't want to see her crying. Swallowing his pride, Jake couldn't show Emma the disappointment in his face. He cleared his throat and moved one of his strong hands from her side up to her face. His index finger wiped the tear from her cheek and he leaned in close, placing a soft, soothing kiss upon her forehead. It wasn't meant to happen. Not yet. That was the conclusion he drew from her reaction.
Jake eased himself back and took a deep breath, taking a seat on the edge of Emma's bed. He wanted to show her the dominant side that she obviously craved. Perhaps take the blindfold and cord out of retirement and show her what he was capable of. Instead, he was going to give Emma a breather. Maybe all she needed was some time to collect herself. "We don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with, Emma. Maybe I'm...rushing things. It's just this connection I feel. It's electric. I've never felt anything like it." And as schmaltzy as that may have sounded, especially coming from him, it was true. Emma was introducing him to a whole host of feelings he'd never experienced.
