Chapter 197 - Tempted

J was awoken by a knock on the door. "Mom, go away! It's our day off." She heard Jacob said then he felt him tighten his arms that are wrapped around her body. For J, the best part of her day is waking up in Jacob's arms. For Jacob, the best part of his day is waking up having J in his arms with her arms wrapped in his waist.

"Jacob," J said with her eyes still closed.

"Hmm?" was Jacob's reply. He is still sleepy.

"I'm going to Lodgepole." J snuggled closer to Jacob's body.

"Okay."

"Would you like to come?"

When Jacob heard her, he opened his eyes. "Would you like me to come?"

J opened her eyes and raised her head to face him with a frown. "Why do you have to answer me with another question?"

"Because my answer depends on your answer," Jacob said.

"If I don't tell you to come you would still follow me," J said with a smirk.

Jacob smiled. "Smart girl." then he kissed the top of her head.

"I'll be taking my car," J said after a while.

"Okay."

J looked up at Jacob. After the accident, she didn't expect him to allow her to take his car that easily.

"But I'll drive." To her disappointment, Jacob was only tempting her. Of course, he wouldn't let her drive. She frowned.

"Then I should start taking a shower then," J said after taking in Jacob's unique morning scent.

"Wait." But before she could get up the bed, Jacob positioned half of his body on top of her. His arms around her waist, his legs entangled with her and his face buried in the crook of her neck.

"W-what?"

Jacob didn't say anything nor did he move. He just stays in the position for a couple of minutes. J, on the other hand, didn't struggle. She closed her eyes, she liked that sensation.

"Bye, mom..." Lily walked towards Madam Kelly who is sitting at the dining table with Chairman John and the Sloanes then pecked a kiss on her cheeks. She did the same to her father. "Dad..."

"You're leaving without having breakfast?" Madam Kelly asked with animosity.

Lily is wearing a slouchy fit cream white blazer on top of a floral blouse tucked in black pants paired with a black pump. She let her highlighted bobcat hair in a messy finish. It was a smart casual attire.

"Mmm... I'll be having a morning meeting with a film investor?" Lily replied. Just then, Jacob entered the dining room with J. "Meeting with a film investor huh? And who are you with?" Jacob asked with slight disgust. He knew how the entertainment business works. It was a dirty business. There is a strong competition among artists in which some even resort to sleeping with investors, producers, and directors just to get ahead of the others and be on the top. However, Lily is different, thou she has a strong family background, she didn't use it to gain the approval of the higher-ups. In fact, she remained private and didn't disclose her family background in the media and her fans. She used her talent and effort to be on where she is now. And because of that, she gained respect from her fans, producers, and media.

Thou Jacob knew his sister well, he still cannot help but become discreet. He knew that there are some investors, directors, and producers that take advantage of their position to take an artist to bed or worst make them their mistresses.
