Chapter 28

JASMINE
After gulping down my second cup of coffee, I tried and failed to stifle a loud yawn. I was shattered. My eyelids weighed ten tonnes, every part of my body ached and my vagina felt like it’d been scrubbed with a metal scourer.
But it was totally worth it.
Given the chance, I’d repeat last night and this morning with Alejandro again in a heartbeat.
I stood up from the dining table and as I tried to walk, the soreness between my legs hit me again. As sadistic as it sounded, I loved the fact that I could still feel the after-effects of how Alejandro had stretched me wide open as he fucked me over and over again.
‘Do you think they would mind if we took some food for Bob?’ Alejandro said, breaking me out of my thoughts. ‘I know hotels prefer guests not to take anything from the dining hall, so I will pay. He must be hungry.’
My heart fluttered. That was one of the things I loved about Alejandro. He was so considerate.
Just to clarify: when I said it was one of the things I loved about him, I didn’t mean literally. It was just a turn of phrase. Obviously, it was way too soon for that. We were just having fun.
‘They’d probably be fine if we offered to pay.’
‘I will ask.’ He got up and headed over to a waitress.
As soon as Alejandro approached, her whole demeanour changed. Her eyes brightened, her head tilted and maybe I was imagining it but she even pushed out her breasts. Then she laughed and touched his bicep.
Whoa. Hands off, lady.
Touching guests was completely unprofessional.
My subconscious burst out laughing. Who was I to talk about being unprofessional? Hypocritical, much?
I’d just spent all night in bed, fucking my co-worker, and I was about to go shopping for a box of condoms so we could continue shagging each other’s brains out. I was hardly in a position to sit on my high horse.
A sharp pain shot through my chest. What the hell was I doing? I really shouldn’t be extending my stay here with Alejandro. I should be feeling guilty for crossing the line.
I should be making excuses for my shameless behaviour. Blaming it on the sunshine and those rum cocktails and vowing not to do it again.
This was a bad idea for so many reasons. For starters, look at him . Everywhere we went, women’s eyes followed, just like they were right now. That waitress practically had her tongue hanging out. He could have any woman he wanted, so even without the work and age issues, this could never be anything long-term. I was glad we clarified that it was just sex whilst we were away from Ocho Rios, before we did the deed.
She smiled at him again, then disappeared. Alejandro returned to the table.
‘All good?’ I asked, fighting the pangs of jealousy that were stupidly swirling around in my stomach.
‘ Sí! Kadesha will prepare a box of food for me to take away.’
‘ Kadesha , eh?’ I raised an eyebrow.
‘She is a sweet girl.’
‘She certainly seemed to take a shine to you…’
‘Are you jealous ?’ A wide, satisfied smile spread across his face.
‘No!’ I said defensively. Now it was Alejandro’s turn to raise his eyebrow. ‘Okay. Maybe a little…’ I hung my head, embarrassment flooding through me.
Alejandro lifted my chin.
‘You have no reason to be jealous. Like I told you, she is a sweet girl . But you, Jasmine. You are all woman .’ He leant forward and kissed me passionately on the lips. He didn’t seem to care that we were in a hall full of people, and frankly, I didn’t either. His kisses were just too good. When his lips were on mine, it was like nothing else existed.
The sound of someone clearing their throat loudly jolted us out of our kiss and we pulled away.
When we looked up, Kadesha was standing there clutching a box and she didn’t look happy. After giving me a look so dirty, I felt the need to shower, she turned to Alejandro.
‘Here you go,’ she said sweetly. ‘And if you need anything else, give me a call…’
‘ Gracias ,’ Alejandro replied. ‘I have everything I need.’ He took my hand, lifted it up, then kissed it softly.
Kadesha’s smile dropped and she stormed off.
My stomach flipped. With that small action, Alejandro had made a very clear statement. He’d said that he wouldn’t be calling her (although I didn’t even see him take her number) and that he was happy with me. Swoon .
‘Thank you,’ I said.
‘For what?’
‘For making me feel… so good.’
‘ Carino .’ He flashed his gorgeous smile, and when I remembered that was Spanish for sweetheart , my stomach fluttered. ‘I am just getting started.’
‘What’s in the box?’ I asked, trying to stop my libido from spiralling again as I imagined how else he could make me happy.
‘Let us look.’
When he opened the box, I burst out laughing.
‘What is funny?’ he frowned. ‘There is a great selection of food.’
‘Typical chef!’ I said. ‘Of course the first thing you saw when you opened the box was the food. But my eyes went straight to that !’ I pointed to the top right-hand corner of the inside of the lid, where Kadesha had boldly written her name and telephone number.
‘Oh…’ Alejandro’s eyes widened. ‘I did not see that.’
‘I reckon Kadesha would be very sad to hear you’d missed it.’
‘It is not important. The only woman I am interested in is you.’ And as he leant forward and kissed me again, something told me he was genuine.
We left the breakfast hall and headed to reception.
‘Hello, ma’am.’ The receptionist smiled. I hated being called ma’am. Made me sound about a hundred, but I knew she was just being polite. ‘How may I help you?’
‘We were just wondering if we could extend our stay for one more night?’
‘I can check. What’s your room number?’
Once I gave her the number, she tapped into the computer.
‘I’m sorry. That room is booked for the next week.’
‘Do you have anything else available?’ Alejandro asked.
‘I’ll take a look for you, sir.’
‘Please.’ He smiled. ‘Call me Alejandro. Sir makes me think of my grandfather!’ he joked.
‘Ohhh!’ Her eyes popped. ‘So you’re Alejandro!’
‘ Sí …’ He frowned. ‘Why?’
Knowing people had been talking about him didn’t surprise me. Like I’d said before, someone who looked like him was hard to ignore.
‘A number of our guests heard your name being called out several times last night…’ She smirked and my cheeks heated with embarrassment. Clearly, I was much louder than I thought.
‘I see,’ Alejandro said, trying to keep a straight face. ‘If I get my wish, I cannot promise that they will not hear it being called again…’ He faced me, his eyes the colour of charcoal, then licked his lips.
‘You’re a very lucky lady.’ The receptionist smiled at me. ‘We actually have a larger room available.’
The price was eyewatering, so there was no way I could expense that without raising questions. Just as I was about to reach for my credit card, Alejandro handed over his.
‘I will take care of this,’ he said.
‘We can go halves,’ I insisted.
‘No.’ He lifted my hand off the reception desk gently. ‘Let me spoil you. You deserve it.’
Someone better bring a mop and bucket because I just melted into a puddle. The receptionist also swooned.
After my experiences with my ex, I’d vowed to be firmly independent, but somehow, I knew that Alejandro hadn’t offered to pay to show off or because he wanted to ‘own’ me. He was doing it because he genuinely wanted to treat me.
Once everything was arranged, Alejandro offered to take the box of breakfast goodies to Bob, then get the ‘supplies’ we needed whilst I went back to have a nap.
But just as I stepped inside the room, I felt my phone buzzing.
When I pulled it out, I saw I’d had five missed calls. Three from Hazel and two from Stella.
A message flashed up from Hazel.
I’ve been trying to call you! How was the café yesterday?
I saw there was a charge on the company credit card last night for a hotel. Did you stay over?
Good news: the management will be back at the hotel from Monday.
Looking forward to receiving a full report on your findings ASAP!
My stomach sunk. This wasn’t good. I should reply straightaway but my mind was spiralling, so instead, I dialled Stella’s number. I’d noticed earlier that she’d called yesterday too, but obviously, I’d been busy…
Thankfully, she answered on the first ring.
‘Hi! Everything okay?’ she said. ‘Not sure what happened before when you called on Thursday, but after it cut out, I tried ringing back and tried again yesterday. You said something happened between you and Alejandro?’
‘Yeah.’ I sighed and flopped onto the bed. ‘On Thursday, I was calling because I needed to tell someone we’d kissed because I thought we were going to die.’
‘What?’ she gasped.
‘Long story. Anyway, I thought the kiss was bad enough but since then, we… fucked.’
‘Finally!’ Stella squealed.
‘ That’s all you have to say?’ My jaw dropped.
‘I’ve been telling you for ages that I knew it was going to happen! It was never a question of if , but more like when . Congrats! So? How was it? Was it just as good as you’d imagined?’
‘Better.’ I laughed, my shoulders relaxing as I replayed all the many delicious moments. ‘The man is a sex god. I mean, his dick is magnificent. So is his tongue. And his hands . He made me come five times.’
‘Five?’ Stella shouted.
‘Yes! Five! And the crazy thing is, I don’t think it was even an effort for him. He could’ve gone all night and morning if we didn’t run out of condoms!’
‘That’s amazing! I’m so happy for you! I know you were worried about his age, but that just shows there are benefits to having a toy boy. I read somewhere that guys in their twenties have a quicker recovery time. So once you’ve finished one round, it doesn’t take them long to get their engine, or rather dick, revved up again!’ She cackled.
‘You’re not wrong!’ I grinned, then remembered Hazel’s text and my stomach twisted again. ‘But I’m worried my boss is going to find out. She’s already messaged to ask about the hotel charge on the credit card. She must get alerts every time there’s an expense.’
‘Oh…’ I heard the concern in Stella’s voice.
‘I mean, it is a valid expense,’ I added, as if already trying to plead my case. ‘The taxi driver was off his head and couldn’t drive, so we thought it’d be safer to stay overnight rather than trying to find an authorised taxi to drive us three hours back. I didn’t think we’d end up having to share a room where there was only one bed.’
‘Classic!’ Stella said excitedly. ‘So is that how it happened then? You woke up and felt his dick pressed against you and you jumped on it?’
‘We didn’t make it until morning. I don’t think we were even in the bed for more than five minutes…’
‘Love it!’ She laughed again.
As I recounted how my hand had accidentally brushed over Alejandro’s manhood, Stella squealed. And when I gave her the full details of our sexscapades, she screamed so loudly, my eardrums almost burst.
‘So he’s gone to buy more condoms, then we’ll move into the other room which Alejandro paid for and head back to our hotel tomorrow to face reality. And maybe the sack.’
‘It doesn’t need to come to that. Like you said, it was a valid company expense to stay over and Alejandro has paid for tonight’s stay so you’ll be fine. You’ve only got another week left there, right? And if all the management will be back on Monday, you’ll both be rushed off your feet, so it’ll be easier to keep your distance. Then you can hook up on the plane and get all that sexual frustration out of your systems before you go back to Spain. You’ll be fine! Just enjoy the time you have together this weekend and forget about what happens next. A wise woman once told me to do the same with Max and she was right!’
‘That was different. Max wasn’t a junior employee!’
‘True, but the principal of enjoying yourself still stands. It’s been years since you’ve had sex, right?’
‘Thanks for the reminder!’
‘All I’m saying is, you’ve got years of orgasms to catch up on and judging by his performance so far, Alejandro is the man to deliver them!’
I heard the door open. Alejandro walked in carrying a large bag.
‘I’d better go. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Madrid and I’ll call you soon to hear more about it!’
‘Thanks and enjoy the orgasm avalanche!’ She chuckled.
‘I will!’ After ending the call, I went over to Alejandro and kissed him gently on the lips. ‘Wow. How many condoms did you buy?’ I glanced down at the bag and laughed.
‘Just a thousand.’ He laughed. ‘Only kidding. I bought some things I thought you might need like new underwear, a change of clothes, a bikini and some toiletries.’
‘Oh my goodness, really?’ I wrapped my arms around him. ‘Thank you.’ This man was incredible.
As his lips met mine and I got lost in his kiss, I knew immediately that I was going to take Stella’s advice.
I wasn’t going to worry about replying to Hazel or my responsibilities.
Instead, I was going to enjoy every second of this weekend with Alejandro.
As Stella had so eloquently put it, bring on the orgasm avalanche.
