One Wild Night

Chapter 714 Bringing Plans Forward

Harry raised a brow when Jade opened the door to her bedroom, and his vision was assaulted by the sheer pinkness of her bedroom.

He said nothing as she pulled him into the room and once she shut the door behind them she turned to him once again and embraced him fiercely.

As his gaze swept across the room, taking in the teenage decor as well as all the Barbie stickers and picture clips of her in dancing costumes decorating the walls, he couldn't help wondering how she had managed to stay sane in such a pink environment, teenager or not.

He felt like if he stepped out of her room now, he would need a moment for his vision to readjust to other colors.

"I still can't believe you're here. I feel like I'm dreaming," Jade said, oblivious to his thoughts, and Harry chuckled as he broke the hug.

"You're not dreaming," he assured her as he lowered his lips to hers.

He kissed her with deliberate slowness, savoring the taste of her lips and exploring every inch of her mouth with his tongue until her entire body tingled.

"How can this be a dream? Does it feel like it?" he asked against her lips.

"It doesn't feel like a dream, unless it's one hell of a wet dream," she said with a dazed look in her eyes and Harry chuckled as he pulled away from her.

"So, how have you been?" Harry asked as he walked over to the bed and sat down.

"You know how I've been. If you ask me how I'm doing right now, I can assure you I'm giddy with pleasure," she said with a happy smile as she joined him on the bed, but instead of sitting on the bed, she sat on his thigh.

"I can't believe you left work for me," she said happily as she cupped his face in both her hands and looked into his beautiful brown eyes.

"I couldn't stand thinking of you alone and lonely," he said and she kissed his lips softly.

"Thanks, Jonas. You have no idea what this means to me. I mean having you here," she said and he ran his hand down her back.

"You don't have to thank me for doing something I ought to do as your partner. Showing up for you when you need me is a basic responsibility," Harry said as he took her hand and kissed her palm.

"Also, I'm not entirely here just because I think you need me. I have my own selfish reasons too. Ludus was so boring without you," he said, and her eyes twinkled happily.

"Hold on. What about your dad, Candace and Jamal?" She asked when she remembered that they were trouble to leave for Sogal the next day.

"We all traveled down here together, but they will be staying at the hotel. They will come over tomorrow," Harry said, and she relaxed.

"That's good. I guess you will be going to join them at the hotel later in the day," she asked, and he shook his head.

"No. I will be staying here with you until we all leave for Ludus," he said and Jade's eyes widened in surprise as she quickly looked all around her room as though realizing for the first time that she had brought him into her bedroom.

"Shit!" She muttered, and Harry chuckled when she quickly got off his laps and hurried over to the wall to pull out all the stickers and picture clips.

It was one thing for him to stay in her pink themed room, but entirely another thing for him to have to look at all those pictures.

"What are you doing? I saw all that already," he said in amusement.

Jade said nothing to him as she focused on the task before her.

"I'd like to take a look at those pictures," Harry said referring to the pictures of her dressed in skimpy dance costumes as a teenager.

Once she was done clearing the wall, she left the Barbie stickers on the floor and shoved her personal pictures into a drawer before turning to him.

"Did my mom know you were coming over?" She asked, wondering if that was why her mother had kept insisting they change the room decor.

"Not until yesterday. Why?" He asked and she shook her head.

"It's nothing. Are you sure you can stay in here? If you can't stand the all pink decor we can move to the guest room," she offered as she stood in front of Harry and he shook his head.

"I don't mind a little pink," he said with a grin and they both laughed at the incredulity of the understatement.

"We both know there is nothing little about all this pink. You know, I don't know what I was thinking going for this," she said with a shake of her head as she looked around her bedroom as if seeing it for the first time.

"You've had no problem staying in here since you got here, have you?" Harry asked reasonably and she shook her head.

"Not exactly. As a matter of fact I loved the fact that it was just as I left it."

"So, why do you have a problem with it now?" He asked and she shrugged.

"Maybe because I'm looking at the room through your eyes right now. Plus you seem out of place in the room. Too masculine," Jade said, remembering all her mom had said about Harry being too masculine for her bedroom.

Although she had not agreed with her mom back then, but now she did. Harry was nothing compared to Todd. He was much more masculine and stood out in the feminine room.

Harry nodded thoughtfully, "I suppose your room has always been this way, right? Not much has been changed in here since my last visit?" He asked, and Jade raised a brow as she looked at him.

It was as though she could see into his head and guess what he was thinking. She could tell he was asking if anything had been changed in the bedroom since she shared it with Todd.

"Everything is still the same," Jade said as she held his gaze squarely, letting him know she understood what he was asking her.

"I see," Harry said as he looked down at the bed, wondering just how much she had done with Todd on the bed.

"Like I said, we can use the guest room if it makes you uncomfortable to be in here," she offered sensing he wasn't uncomfortable.

"And why wouldn't I be comfortable?" Harry asked and Jade rolled her eyes.

"Maybe because you know I shared this room with him. This bed. It is totally understandable if it makes you uncomfortable, I get it. We can move," Jade said with a shrug.

"I'm okay," Harry said, both surprised and amused.

Surprised because he didn't feel as jealous as he had thought he would feel being in the bedroom she had shared with her ex, and amused because Jade thought he was.

"Harry…"

"I'm serious, Jade. There is no reason for me to be jealous of your nonexistent ex. He's not the one standing in here right now with you. I'm the one here. He's not the one you're so in love with right now either. And he's not the one about to kiss you either," Harry said as his arm went around her waist to pull her against him.

He lowered his head to hers once again and took her lips in a fiercely possessive and passionate kiss that left Jade shaken.

"It would be my pleasure to wipe off every memory you have of him in here. Both pleasant and unpleasant," Harry said and Jade raised a brow.

"Are you sure?" Jade asked in a husky voice and he gave her a nod.

"Very sure. For now, I should start by making myself more at home so you can relax," he said as he rose and shrugged off his suit jacket.

"Feel better?" He asked as he took off his tie and she smiled. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥．𝐜𝐨𝗺

They both turned to the door when a knock sounded on it and Jade scowled as she went to answer the door so she could see who was interrupting their moment.

"Your mother said I should bring this up," one of the housekeepers said as she held out Harry's duffel bag, and Jade took it from her.

"Thanks," Jade said before shutting the door.

"You're really going to stay, right?" She asked, and Harry smiled as he took the bag from her and walked over to the bed to open it.

"Yes, I am," Harry said as he took out his neatly folded clothes from the bag and Jade grinned at the thought that their weekend plan was still in tact.

They both spent some time organizing his stuff in the closet and on the dresser and once they were done, Harry looked at her, "I need to freshen up and change out of these clothes," he said as he unbuttoned his shirt.

"You know I'm not going to excuse you even if you want to change your clothes, right?" She asked as she watched him and Harry chuckled.

"I was prepared for that much before deciding to come here," he assured her as he took off his shirt.

"Really?" Jade asked with a wide smile as she stepped closer to him and took the shirt from him while he unfastened his belt.

"Really," Harry said as he stepped out of his trousers.

"I wonder just how much more you're prepared for," Jade said with a suggestive smile and Harry shook his head in amusement as he folded his trouser, but Jade took it from him and threw it into her laundry basket.

"Do you mind clearing up that mess you made on the floor before I get out of the shower?" Harry asked, pointing to the Barbie stickers on the floor.

"I will take care of it," she assured him, and watched with a raised brow as he picked up his towel and his fresh clothes.

"What are you doing? Won't you take off the rest of your clothes?" She asked and he chuckled.

"I will do that in the bathroom," he said with a wink and walked away before she could protest.

Jade was still too happy at the thought of having him around to get upset over not seeing his body.

It didn't matter. She was eventually going to see the whole of him.

If only she had known he would be coming, she would have bought the vibrator so he would see it 'accidentally'.

Maybe it wasn't too late. She could still order for it even now, she thought with a grin.

The best part of this arrangement was that they would be sharing a bed tonight. She was going to be spending her first night with Harry on the same bed, she thought with a giggle.

She was going to have to find something really sexy to wear to bed. Or maybe just go to bed completely naked.

There was no way even Harry was going to resist the allure of a naked feminine body beside him all through the night, Jade thought with a giggle as she went about cleaning the mess she had made on the floor.

Inside the bathroom, unaware of Jade's plan for him, Harry had a grin on his face as he showered.

Seeing her and being with her made him so much more happy than he thought possible and with each passing day he doubted that he would be able to wait until the six months to ask her to be his wife as he had told her.

No. He wasn't sure he could wait that long to have her living with him as his wife. He was going to have to bring his plans forward.

All of his plans. He was already working on taking care of Sara. Once he was done with her, he would go on the planned vacation with Jade and ask her to marry him.
