Chapter 474 - Confessions

J was not a conversant person. She is having a hard time to express her real emotions. So instead of saying anything, she wrapped her arms around Jacob's neck and pulled him close to her until his lips touch hers. This is the second time that J initiated a kiss. The first time was in the cabin at Naupaka Racing Circuit.

When it comes to kissing, Jacob is the good kisser and the dominating one. But this time, he let J lead the kiss. Her kiss was sweet and passionate at first but when it becomes deeper, it also becomes fiery and Jacob can't help but moan at the sensation. He slides his hand into J's hair slowly. J's hand is now on Jacob's biceps.

After a while, their lips parted but their forehead was still pressed together. Their eyes were still closed as Jacob's thumb is stroking J's lower lip. In a horse voice, J whispered, "I love you."

Jacob's entire body froze. He opened his eyes and looked at J's eyes that were still close. Which she purposely kept close embarrassed to see Jacob's reaction after she confessed her love for him.

Jacob's brows are furrowed. He cannot tell if his ears were deceiving him so he called out. "Honey?"

J opened her eyes and was met by Jacob's anticipating eyes. Her eyes looked loving in Jacob's thought but he wanted to confirm if what he heard was real or just hallucination.

"Did you say something?"

J frowned when she heard his question. It took her a lot of courage to say those three words but it seemed like he didn't hear them at all.

"I mean, yeah. I thought I heard you say something but, I just want to make sure that I am not having some auditory hallucinations." Jacob stated before J becomes angry based on her frown now.

"Yes," J replied irritated.

Jacob wanted to ask 'Did you just say I love you?' but he doesn't want to assume. So instead he pleads, "Can you say it again?"

That's it. J became furious. "Damn it! Jacob if you didn't hear it then that is not my problem anymore! I already said it once. Did you know how many lumps do I have to swallow to say those words but - "

Her words were cut when Jacob devoured her lips again. He just wanted to confirm if he heard it right and it turns out that he did hear it right based on J's reaction. She is not actually angry, she was just shy.

Their kiss this time was more passionate, more sensual, more intimate. And Jacob has to stop before he loses control.

They were both catching their breath when J reached for his face and cupped it with both of her hands. She looked into his eyes that captivates her making her stomach into knots. She closed her eyes and take a deep breath and chant internally 'keep calm'. When she opened her eyes again she said in a taut voice, "Listen carefully."

Jacob stared at her seriously waiting and anticipating. "I love you, Jacob Parker."

At that moment, Jacob feels full joy of springs. They were on the rooftop surrounded by candles and stars in the sky but he felt like there were also flowers blooming around him. He knows that she loves him, he can feel it. But it was different when she confessed.

"I know this may sound cheesy but you just made me the happiest man in the world."

"Oh, God!" J rolled her eyes and it made Jacob laugh in delight.

"Thank you, Honey," Jacob said full of affection.

"Thank you?" J scowled at him. Wasn't his reply supposed to be 'I love you too'? She thought internally. Before she could say something, Jacob beat her into it.

He chuckled. "And I love you too, my love."

Best Christmas Eve ever! J thought internally. But the night is long and Jacob has yet to complete his plans for the night.
