“I’ll be right back,” she grumbles, placing three plates onto a tray and backing her way out the door. I’m left standing awkwardly in the back with the cooks, who keep giving me awkward glances as they go about their work.
“Don’t worry!” I smile with a wave. “I’m not the bad guy. Just…bearer of some bad news.”
One of them returns my smile, but I don’t think he really means it.
I think about what Sadie said. Howard was handsome once but has been living hard these last two years. So more than likely he was coming to her looking for money. Would he have broken into her house to get it?
That’s the more disturbing question. Sadie’s going to have to call the police and report this, along with whatever history she has with this guy, so that they know to keep an eye out for him.
There’s a circular porthole window in the door leading into the dining room. I go to it to look out, but at that exact moment, the door swings in and almost slams into my face as Sadie bursts through.
“And another rude table to top the night off!” she grumbles. She goes to the wall and leans her head up against it, her torso heaving as she gulps deep angry breaths. “What more could possibly happen tonight?”
Seeing her like this is breaking my heart. I can’t take it any longer. I’m going in. If she tries to push me away this time, I’m simply not going to let her. Someone needs to comfort her, and it’s not going to be anyone but me.
I walk up behind her and slip my arms around her cute little waist, wrapped in her waitress apron. She spins around instantly and tries to push me away.
“Jake! Jake, no!” she protests, but I lock eyes with her. I can see she’s already fighting back tears.
“Sadie, stop,” I tell her, my voice soft. “You don’t have to go through this alone.”
“My—my rule, Jake,” she stammers, pressing her fists against my chest. She’s not using a ton of pressure, though. She’s not really fighting back.
“Then don’t break your rule,” I say, smiling gently. “Just let me tell you something. Something that might cheer you up.”
Sadie scoffs and laughs. “Yeah, I don’t think that’s going to happen tonight.”
“Well, can I at least try?”
It’s killing me to see her with tears welling up in her eyes. Such a wonderful woman should never suffer a moment’s pain in her life. I wish she would stop trying to push me away so I could be there for her whenever she needs me.
Sadie looks away for a moment, but I can see she’s thinking about it. Then I feel the pressure on my chest from her hands lessen, and she looks back at me.
“Okay, fine,” she says. “You can try.”
I grin and lock my hands around her waist and pull her in so our bodies are touching. I lean close so none of the cooks or kitchen staff could possibly overhear what I’m about to say.
“Do you remember when we fucked in the shower at your house?”
Her face has recovered from being red with anger but goes instantly red with a blush. She tries to hide her smile but fails miserably. “Of course I do, Jake.”
“Well, I have a confession to make. That wasn’t the first time I saw you naked.”
Her smile vanishes, and she looks back at me with confusion. “What do you mean, Jake?”
“I’d seen your gorgeous naked body before.” I grin. “The night of my Violet Keith job.”
“What…?”
“I saw you come home, go upstairs, strip out of your work clothes, go into the bathroom to shower…” Sadie gasps. Her eyes go wide. “And I saw you come out of the bathroom.”
“Oh my God, Jake…” Her voice is barely a whisper. Even now, as I lean against her, I can feel myself starting to get hard as I think about it.
“I was so turned on by you. By your sexy body, Sadie,” I whisper, pressing harder against her. “That I watched and jerked off until you got into your pjs and turned off the light.”
“Jake, I…” She doesn’t know what to say, but I can see it all in her eyes.
“You like that, don’t you?” I ask. Sadie’s eyes dart around the kitchen, as though someone might somehow be listening in. It takes her a moment, but she nods. “I knew you would, you naughty girl.”
By now, I’m fully hard, and I push my erection against her so she can feel the fullness. Her eyes light up.
“Well, you were right, Jake.” Sadie smiles. “You cheered me up. Amongst other things.”
She bites her lip, and the urge to fuck her swells within me.
“Say, where’s that back room where you took those pics for me?” I whisper.
Sadie looks at me playfully. “Why do you want to know, mister?”
