Summary: After being told that they must keep their relationship a secret from the public, MC (Jessica) plans a surprise for Seth.
Notes: This takes place later in the day after the events of Chapter 5, after Jessica’s agent informs her of her new fauxmance with Chadley.
“That was amazing,” Seth said as he sat back in his chair. “You’re a really great cook.”
“Well, I wanted to do something special for you so I’m glad you liked it,” Jessica said with a smile as she stood up to clear the plates. Seth caught her around the waist and pulled her onto his lap, making her laugh. “Hey, I have to clear these plates.”
“The plates can wait,” Seth said, tilting his face up to hers. Jessica grinned and kissed him, letting herself sink into the kiss as he wrapped his arms around her.
“Hey, don’t get too carried away,” Jessica murmured against his lips. “I have another surprise for you.”
“You already cooked for me, what else is there?” Seth asked, a devilish grin playing across his face. Jessica gave him one more quick kiss before she extracted herself from his lap.
“Give me ten minutes and then meet me in the bedroom,” she called over her shoulder as she walked away. Jessica glanced over her shoulder and saw Seth stand up and begin to clear the table. “Hey! The plates can wait!”
“Oh, come on,” Seth protested. “You cooked, so the least I can do is the dishes. Besides, unless I have something to do, there’s a very good chance I’ll just have my eye pressed to the keyhole trying to figure out what you’re doing in there.”
“You can’t see through the keyhole,” Jessica countered.
“So you see why this is a much better use of my time.”
Jessica laughed and rolled her eyes as she left for the bedroom. She gently closed the door behind her before she hurried to her dresser, yanking open the top drawer. She’d bought everything on her way home and she’d been dying to put them on. However, she thought Seth might’ve felt the corset underneath her shirt when he hugged her so she’d decided to save it. Jessica dressed carefully, making sure to get every last tiny hook on the corset. She hoped Seth would like it. If she was honest with herself, she was doing all this to make it up to him. Jessica felt so guilty and terrible that they had to keep their relationship a secret. She already had an amazing boyfriend; why should she have to fake a relationship with someone else? Chadley was nice enough, but he couldn’t hold a candle to Seth. No one could.
Finally finished, Jessica walked over to the full length mirror and surveyed the outfit. In addition to the dark purple lace corset, she’d also bought a matching thong and garter belt that held up seamed stockings. She slipped her feet into a pair of sky high Louboutins and straightened her seams before standing up straight. Jessica felt sexy. Powerful.
“Can I come in yet?” Seth called through the door. “I’m very lonely out here.”
Jessica turned around to face the door and put a hand on her hip, making sure to stand in front of the mirror so Seth would be able to see every angle. “Yes.”
The door opened slowly and Seth poked his head into the room. It took him a moment to register what she was wearing and then he froze, his jaw falling slack.
“Holy shit, Jess,” he said quietly, reverentially. “That … you look …”
Jessica smiled and walked slowly towards him. She loved when he called her Iowa, but there was something about the times when he lapsed into using her real name that sent a thrill through her. She tugged on the front of his shirt, pulling him out of the hallway and into the bedroom before gently closing the door behind him.
“I told you I had another surprise for you,” she murmured, gently trailing kisses along his jawline and down his neck as she unbuttoned his shirt. She felt Seth’s hands on her hips, sliding up and down the length of her body as his fingers traced over the dark lace and exposed skin.
“If I’d known this was what was waiting for me on the other side, I’d have kicked down the door,” Seth said, his voice low and hungry. Jessica slid the shirt from his shoulders and pressed herself to him, her fingers tracing the hard muscles of his back. Seth buried his face in her neck, his breath hot on her skin.
Jessica let one of her hands drift down over the front of his jeans, feeling the hardening bulge beneath the denim. Seth’s hips flexed against her touch and she smiled, loving how much he wanted her. She undid his belt and slowly lowered his zipper, sliding both hands into pants as she squeezed him gently through his boxer briefs. He moaned softly and he took her face in his hands, turning it so he could kiss her. Their mouths melted into one another as Jessica continued to trace the outline of his cock through the fabric. He was fully hard now and she felt a flush of heat through her abdomen as she slid her hand inside his boxers, running her hand down the length of him before gently caressing his balls. Seth moaned again, louder this time, and she felt his fingers dig into her lower back.
Jessica slowly sank down to her knees and tugged at his jeans, letting them fall to the floor. Then she took her time as she pulled down his boxers, his cock springing free. Seth stepped out of his clothes and kicked him away, his breath heavy and anticipatory as he stood naked before her. Jessica slid her nails up his thighs, following her fingers with kisses that drew closer and closer to him.
Finally, she took his cock in her hand, rubbing her thumb gently over the head as sucked on his balls, first one, then the other. She felt his breath hitch as he buried his hands in her hair, pushing it back from her face so he could watch her. Jessica flicked her eyes up to his, meeting his gaze. His eyes were dark with lust, with desire, with a primal hunger she shared. Never looking away from him, Jessica slowly traced her tongue along his length, dragging it up the base before circling her tongue around the head. She dropped her gaze from Seth’s and trailed a line of kisses down his shaft. She teased him with the tip of her tongue as she did so before she made her way back up to the head where a drop of precum glistened. Jessica licked it slowly before she took the tip of him in her mouth, pressing her tongue flat against the base as she sucked him, teasing him. Then she took all of Seth in her mouth, taking her time as she let her tongue play along his length, her hand following close behind. Jessica flicked her gaze back up to Seth’s and felt a rush of adrenaline and desire from the way he watched her with hooded eyes.
Even though she started slowly, Jessica soon began to go faster as Seth’s hips began to buck against her tongue. She dug her nails into the bare flesh of his hip as she continued to suck his cock, pulling him closer and closer to the edge.
“Jess, I’m close,” Seth whispered hoarsely. “I–oh, fuck!” he exclaimed as Jessica took him in as far as she could, the head of his cock hitting the back of her throat. She felt his fingers knot in her hair, painful pleasure as she sucked harder, pulling him over the edge. He came, warm and salty. Jessica swallowed, desperately wanting to be closer to him, take him inside her, to consume him.
Finally, she released him, gently kissing his hip where he nails had left angry red crescent moons in his skin. Seth dropped to his knees, pulling her to him as he kissed her. She could taste the slight sheen of sweat above his lip, could feel the depth of his breath as he struggled to catch it.
“It’s official,” Seth said with a grin. “I love your surprises.”
Jessica laughed and kissed him again. “I love surprising you. Especially with … everything today.”
Seth suddenly pulled back, his hands on her shoulders. “Iowa … is this all because of that fake relationship with the talking set of abs?”
“No!” she protested, sounding unconvincing even to herself. “I just wanted to do something nice for you. For the record, I found that recipe for dinner online while I was in Greece. We’ve both just been so busy lately that I’ve just been waiting for a good night to cook for you.”
“And I loved it,” Seth said. “And this. And this,” he added, gesturing to her outfit. “But I don’t want you to feel like you have to make anything up to me just because you have to do this publicity thing for work.”
Jessica sat back on her heels, hot tears prickling at the corners of her eyes. She suddenly felt ridiculous in the corset and garter belt and reached for Seth’s shirt, pulling it around her shoulders.
“Jess, stop!” Seth exclaimed as he sat down on the floor, pulling her onto his lap. “This isn’t coming out right at all.” He took a breath, organizing his thoughts. “I love that you did all this for me. I didn’t mean to make you feel bad.”
“No, it’s not you,” Jessica said, the first tear spilling down her cheek. “I just … you’re right, I think I was trying to make it up to you. It’s so fucking unfair that I can’t tell anyone about us.”
“Hey,” Seth said quietly, touching her chin with a finger. “Look at me.”
She looked.
“Iowa, I’m in love with you,” Seth said. “Your new manager is an asshole–so what? This whole thing is temporary publicity for your new movie. A blockbuster movie that could be huge for your career. Does it suck that we have to stay private for a while? Yeah, of course, but it’s not forever.”
Jessica tugged his shirt a little tighter around her. Seth gently reached over and took the edges of the shirt from her, buttoning it for her.
“I love that you made me dinner. I love that you got this incredibly sexy outfit. I love that you’ve done all this for me. But most of all, I love you and I want to make sure you know that all I ever want is to be with you,” Seth said, wiping away one of her tears while he kissed away another.
“I love you, too,” she said, her voice shaky. “God, I’m sorry I’m crying. I’m such a buzzkill.”
“You’re crying? Does that mean you’re … human?” Seth asked with a horrified gasp. Jessica laughed and smacked him in the arm.
“Yeah, yeah, very funny,” she said with a smile. He kissed her again, cupping his hand around the back of her neck.
“I guess there’s only one thing left to discuss,” Seth said when they finally broke apart.
“Yeah?” Jessica asked, feeling a small sinking sensation in her stomach. “What’s that?”
“If you don’t want to right now, that’s totally fine and I understand … but when do I get to show you how much I love this outfit?” he asked with a grin, his fingertips lightly tracing along one of the straps of her garter belt. Jessica laughed, relieved, and kissed him.
“Now,” she said. “Right now, please.”
Seth grinned and they stood up. He swept her into his arms and carried her over to the bed, gently laying her down.
“Hey,” she said, pulling him down to lie beside her. “I love you.”
Seth smiled. “I love you, too, Iowa.”
i love this!!!!!
