My Dad's Bestfriend novel Chapter 14

Evelyn

A few hours had passed since we freshened up and changed into new clothes, and ended up in Jacob's room.

Currently, I was occupied. Really very occupied in admiring the masterpiece beneath me, as I sat astride him, my legs on either side, taking in the mesmerising sight of his tattoos.

They adorned his chest and extended down his arm, a tapestry of intricate details that I traced with the pads of my fingers. It was as breathtaking as he was.

He slid his hand beneath the fabric of my oversized t-shirt, his fingers gently grazing my bare waist, just a few inches above the waistband of my shorts. I felt a shiver run down my spine as he traced patterns against my skin before firmly resting his hands on either side of my hips.

He knew what he was doing!

"You didn't have so many tattoos back five years ago," I mumbled.

"Yeah, I've collected them over the years," he replied.

"This dragon on your chest, you have had it from the start," I said pointing at his chest before sliding my hand to his muscular arm, "But this lion on your arm is new. And the sword too."

I observed the problematic designs on his chest and arm, tracing them with my finger. My gaze fell upon a particular tattoo, a moon-shaped one on the right side of his chest. Something about its shape seemed off, resembling the letter 'C.'

"But this moon looks very weirdly shaped," I poked at the tattoo, "It almost looks like a 'C. Does it stand for someone's initial?" I spoke out the thoughts in my mind.

Of course, my curiosity had got the best of me and I would be lying if I said there wasn't a tinge bit of jealousy involved in it too.

He stiffened, hesitation flickering in his green eyes. "It means nothing, maybe the artist didn't shape it properly," he deflected.

I sensed his discomfort and decided not to press further. I let the topic slide," Oh," and his body visibly relaxed beneath me.

A few moments passed as I studied his tattoos once again, taking my time as I found them utterly captivating and truly the most interesting thing in this world.

God, everything looked so fucking good on him. I bet he could wrap plastic and I'd still praise him, that's how crazy I was about him.

"By the way, you have a sharp memory, huh?" Jacob chuckled, propping himself up on his elbows to look at me properly, "Then why are your maths marks still so poor?"

Damn him! Why did he have to bring up maths?

He seemed to relish teasing me, enjoying the opportunity to embarrass me.

"Dad spilled the beans about my marks, didn't he?" I raised an eyebrow, my irritation turning into a mischievous smirk.

Oh, he's in for a surprise when he arrives.

I was so fucking sure that I am going to give him a near-death experience today.

"Let's just say, he may have hinted at it," Jacob replied with a playful glint in his eyes.

"Seriously, Jacob, spare me your mind-bending riddles," I groaned, rolling my eyes. "For fuck's sake!"

Jacob's lips curled into a mischievous smile as he leaned closer, his fingertips gently tracing the outline of my bottom lip. "You curse a lot, Evelyn," he murmured, his touch sending shivers down my spine. "I might just have to tame that pretty mouth of yours."

His innuendo was crystal clear, causing a rush of warmth to flood my cheeks.

Dammit, Evelyn! Don't let him see how he's already wrapped you around his finger.
