MR. WOLF'S SECRETARY: A SIDEKICK ROMANCE
CHAPTER 21

They both agreed to make the best out of their partnership. At first, their relationship was fine and the absence of intimacies was preferred by both parties. When Jacob began to show up at parties, he always took her with him. She did her best not to disappoint him and on several occasions, she was forced to kiss him on the lips, or even hugged him in public.

Jacob was kind and as days went by, her feelings for him were hard to conceal. Jealousy started to eat her insides and she wanted to possess him or own him. The last time they went to the party when there was a woman who took a liking to Jacob, she wanted to punch that woman in the face.

"Is there something wrong?" Jacob asked when he noticed that the woman seemed to be in a foul mood.

"You seemed to forget that we're supposed to be exclusive," she reminded him about the incident earlier where he almost spent most of his time with Zanetta.

"It was Zanetta, Blair, my childhood friend."

Blair rolled her eyes at Jacob for being clueless that Zanetta was in love with him. If only she could let him know that she witnessed their kiss before. "Friend or not as long as it's a woman," she replied. "Are you jealous?"

"No!" She raised her voice at him to mask her embarrassment that Jacob almost guessed it correctly. "I'm just reminding you that it's not allowed!"

"I'll be careful next time," he assured her. However, when it comes to Zanetta, he wasn't sure if he could avoid her advances.

"You should be!"

"Wait a minute. Zanetta wasn't the first woman who tried to get my attention," he stated.

Blair bit her bottom lip when she made herself more obvious. "She's way more aggressive than the others," she replied.

"Ah maybe because we used to know each other since we were kids," he answered.

"Whatever," she muttered under her breath.

When they got home, Blair went ahead to their bedroom to get ready for sleep. She had a few glasses of beers at the party and her body felt heavy and tired. She didn't wait for Jacob and after she took a half bath to erase the scent of smoke and liquors, she immediately aimed for the bed.

Jacob was exhausted from the straight partying because it had been several days since he made himself available in every gathering his friends hosted. After taking off the shoes and socks from his feet, he joined Blair on the bed.

As his weight settled on the mattress, Blair scooted herself far away from him, and he didn't like it. They've been sleeping together for several weeks already, and yet she remained aloof with him. If only he hadn't some wine at the party, he would possibly try to touch her.

Jacob woke up to a soft body covering his, and when he tried to open his eyes, he saw Blair on top of him. Slowly, he pushed her away, but he might have startled the woman because she suddenly got up...disoriented of course! Then she screamed!

Jacob ignored his drowsiness and followed the woman who got out of bed. "Blair, what's wrong?" He asked out of concern but the woman screamed even more. "Hey!" He shouted back at the woman who dared to disturb his peace of mind. "You! How can you sleep like that?"

Jacob furrowed his brows and followed her eyes towards his manhood and immediately covered it with his hand. "What did you do to me last night? Why am I naked?"

Blair scowled at the man who had the energy to accuse her of something she didn't do. It was never part of her plan to seduce the man with her body. However, she would try to appeal to his emotions.

When Jacob didn't move an inch towards the wardrobe to get something to wear, she decided to just go outside and maybe cook their breakfast. As she washed the rice with water, she smiled at his reaction earlier. He wasn't drunk but he was exhausted to notice it but he guessed it correctly. It was her who took off his clothes last night because she decided to be mean.

In the past, getting a guy's attention was never a problem but with Jacob Gordon, all her efforts were futile. Based on her experience, guys loved the visuals and she did her part to look good and appealed to his senses.

At night, she tried all the sexy sleepwear in the wardrobe, and during the day, she wore cute outfits. From time to time, she also tried to exchange eye contact with him, but he barely noticed it! To summarize it all, she tried almost everything that would possibly catch his attention including the flirtatious moves she learned from the magazines.

Whenever they were in the living room to watch their favorite shows on Netflix together, she would occasionally stretch her legs to show off some of her skin. She also tried to wear blouses with plunging necklines. She knew that getting physical with him was shallow but it was the best that Carmela Gordon could advise her.

It's just a shame that everything didn't work in her favor. Nevertheless, she couldn't give up on him yet, and she would continue to try her luck. She's aware that her relationship with him was only temporary so every day mattered to her. While waiting for the rice to be cooked, she returned upstairs to take a shower. She promised to meet with Tracy at ten in the morning and they would have some ramen at their favorite place.

She was cautious when she pushed the door open to check first if Jacob wore something to cover his nudity. He was asleep under the cover so Blair didn't bother to wake him up and went to the bathroom.

As soon as she's naked, she placed herself under the showerhead, and the cold water coming from it calmed down her senses. It's just a quick shower to cool down her head and in less than ten minutes, she was done. "Are you crazy?" Blair shouted at Jacob when she almost bumped into him.

He noticed the towel on her head but when his eyes moved downward, he forgot everything! He's been controlling himself for too long but when Blair emerged from the bathroom with water droplets on her shoulder, he was tempted to touch her skin. Slowly, he inched closer to her.

She should be worried when Jacob displayed signs of wanting her but it wasn't the case. When Jacob moved closer to her, she didn't make a move to avoid him. Instead, she waited until his hand touch her shoulder and traced the water droplets with her finger.

"Can I kiss you?"

Blair stared at his eyes and regretted doing so because she was hypnotized. Did she just nod her head and permitted him? Then, she gasped in surprise when Jacob carried her towards the huge bed. It was fast but Blair found it slow when he took a long time to lower his head toward hers.
