First Crush (Dark Falkon #1)

by J. O Mantel

  “I’ll get that,” he said, walking over to the door.

  He grabbed the room service from the waiter and handed him yet another tip to add to the one he had given him earlier that day. After closing the door, he turned and looked at Sienna, she was lying down on the bed, sound asleep.

  Lukas quietly put the dinner on the table, he walked to the bathroom and quickly showered. When he finished, he walked out of the bathroom and over to the bed. He pulled the covers over Sienna before crawling into bed himself. He lay there for a couple of seconds, gently playing with her hair before he turned out the light.

  He leaned forward and kissed her gently on the cheek.

  “Goodnight, beautiful,” he whispered before closing his eyes and falling asleep himself.

  Sienna's vacation week had sadly come to an end. She stayed in the hotel room to pack while Lukas finalized the bill at reception and ran some last minute errands.

  It had been the most amazing week she had ever had and she was a little sad that it was all coming to an end. It had been the longest time that she and Lukas had spent together as a couple. Now, in a few short hours, their wonderful rendezvous would all be over and they would both return to their everyday, working lives.

  A small part of her also missed Ivy and Jake and she couldn’t wait to see them both again when they returned home. She couldn't wait to catch up with both of them when she got back and tell them all about her vacation.

  She decided to message Jake and let him know that she would be coming home some time that evening just in case he had made any plans. Hey, Jake. I'll be leaving Canada in a few hours, so I’ll be home later tonight. Just letting you know in case you have made any plans. She continued packing and waited for Lukas to return.

  After a couple of minutes her phone alerted her of a message, as she read the text, Lukas returned.

  “Good morning,” he said, acknowledging her with a kiss.

  “Good morning,” she replied returning the compliment.

  “All packed?”

  “Huh? Sorry I was just reading a text from Jake.”

  “I said, are you all packed?”

  “Almost,” she replied.

  “Has something happened with Jake?”

  “Oh, no he's fine. I just sent him a text to tell him I'd be home later tonight in case he had plans.”

  “You're very considerate, aren't you?” Sienna couldn't tell if he was being serious or sarcastic.

  “What time do we leave?” She smiled.

  “Whenever you like, the jet's ready to leave whenever you are.”

  “Maybe we can get some lunch before we go?” Sienna asked.

  “Sure, if you want.”

  She finished packing her suitcase, Lukas did the same with his and they slowly made their way down to the lobby. They left their bags at the concierge desk and headed out to one of the restaurants, they sat down and one of the waitresses took their orders.

  “What’s the matter?” Lukas asked, noticing the sadness in Sienna’s face.

  “Oh, nothing! I’m being stupid. I’m just sad that this is all going to be over soon and then tomorrow, you and I will both get back to our normal, everyday lives.” She was silent, she sat there and couldn’t help but get slightly emotional.

  “You're worried that we’ll never be able to spend time like this again, aren’t you?”

  She nodded.

  “Babe, you and I have been through this.”

  “I know! And I know that this is what I signed up for, but I guess a small part of me was kind of hoping that it wouldn’t happen. No matter how slim that chance was.”

  Lukas stood up and walked around the table to her, he lifted her out of her seat and kissed her passionately on the lips. The tears trickled down her face and onto Lukas’s lips.

  “You're amazing, you know that?” Lukas said.

  “Amazing? Yeah, right! More like a crazy chick who is constantly having mood swings.”

  The waitress returned a few minutes later with their meals, Lukas helped Sienna back in her seat and the two of them sat down and enjoyed their lunch.

  “So, what happens when we get back home? How soon before you have to jet off again?”

  “We don’t have any other tours this year. When we get home the band and I will be writing some more songs and getting ready to produce a new album.”

  “Another album?”

  “Yeah! You sound surprised.”

  “Shocked, I guess, not surprised. You just never mentioned to me that you were starting work on a new album.”

  “Well, that’s because I never mix business with pleasure,” he leaned forward and kissed her again over the table.

  “I don’t know whether to be surprised or worried whenever you do that?”

  “Do what?”

  “Kiss me so suddenly. Not that I’m complaining, but a lot of the time it comes so unexpected and I just wonder if you're going to throw any more surprises at me.”

  “But you like surprises, right?”

  “That depends, do you have something else planned?” she replied.

  Lukas didn’t say anything, he quietly sat there and ate his meal. Sienna looked at him, curiously.

  “See? This is exactly what I mean. I ask you something and then you go all quiet, it makes me nervous.”

  Lukas couldn’t help but smile, Sienna felt a little intimidated, but also intrigued at what else he may have in store for her.

  “I promise, no more surprises,” he smiled.

  The two of them finished their lunch, Lukas made his way inside the restaurant and after tipping the waitress, he headed back outside.

  “Shall we go?” he asked, pulling her chair out and helping her to her feet. He grabbed her hand and the two of them started heading back to the hotel.

  “Wait!” Sienna said suddenly.

  “Something wrong?”

  “No! This is probably the only chance I will ever get to come to Canada. I want to get a souvenir so that I can remember this place.” The two of them stepped into a souvenir store and Sienna grabbed a few items. She placed them on the counter and took out her credit card, Lukas was ready to place his card on the counter, but Sienna stopped him.

  “Lukas, please! I can pay for things myself, and besides this isn’t for me, it’s for Jake, Ivy and Dick.” She said it a little louder than she would have liked, and her tone didn’t exactly help, either. She paid for the items and placed them into her bag and she and Lukas both headed out of the store.

  “I’m sorry,” she said.

  “For what?”

  “Raising my voice in there.” Sienna thought for a moment and then continued, “Lukas, you and I have been together for three amazing months and I know that you love buying things for me. But, I can buy things for myself too. Actually, sometimes, I need to buy things for myself.”

  “I’m sorry, I mean, it’s been a long time since I dated and I really enjoy pampering you.”

  “And I love being pampered, really I do.”

  “So what’s the problem, then?”

  “Nothing! Sorry, I’m just being stupid.” She hugged Lukas and rested her head against his shoulder as they continued walking back to the hotel. When they arrived, they collected their bags from the concierge desk and made their way outside, where a car was waiting for them. The driver put their bags in the trunk and they headed off.

  After about thirty minutes, they reached Banff airport, Lukas’s jet was still parked exactly where he had left it when they landed a week ago. Sienna hated flying, she never admitted it to anyone before and she only ever caught a plane in an extreme emergency or if the occasion called for it. If she hadn’t have won the tickets to Vegas for the concert, she and Ivy would have driven.

  Louis, the pilot, greeted them outside the jet, Lukas helped Sienna board the plane and secured her safely into her seat. After she was secure, Lukas made himself comfortable in the seat opposite hers. He picked up the intercom and notified Louis that they were ready fo
r take-off. Louis confirmed and Sienna could hear the engines start as she made herself comfortable in her seat.

  ####FRIENDSHIP####

  It was well into the evening when they finally arrived back in New York. Joseph was waiting for them at the airport when they arrived. He took their bags and loaded them into the trunk of the car as Lukas and Sienna sat down.

  “Are you alright? You've been really quiet since we left Canada?”

  “Sorry! I'm just really tired and still a little sad that this is all over.”

  Lukas pulled her in and kissed her, “I know you don't like it when I do that randomly, but babe, I can assure you everything is going to be fine. You and I will have plenty more vacations together, I promise.”

  “I love you,” she whispered, sulking slightly.

  “I love you, too,” Lukas replied and they shared another kiss.

  The limousine pulled up outside Sienna's apartment. Joseph took her suitcase out of the trunk and followed Lukas and Sienna to the front door.

  “Thank you for an amazing week.”

  “You're welcome, and like I said, this is just the beginning. There are going to be a lot more vacations, together.”

  She smiled and noticed that Jake's car was in the drive.

  “Jake must be home,” she said.

  “She quietly opened the door and Joseph placed her suitcase on the floor.

  “Good night, Ms. Forrester,” Joseph said and he turned and walked back to the car. Jake's bedroom door was closed, she and Lukas quietly made their way into the living room being careful not to make a sound.

  “I wish I could stay all night,” Lukas whispered, covering her neck with gentle, soft kisses.

  “Me too,” she replied, her whisper was almost erotic as she tilted her head back and allowed him to continue. He teased her breasts, massaging them with his hands as he continued to kiss her neck.

  “No! Lukas, stop! We'll wake Jake,” she whispered, fixing her top.

  “Well, he'll certainly get more than he bargained for, won't he?”

  “Lukas I'm serious. Jake has only just accepted the fact that you and I are dating, I don't want to give him another reason to blow a fuse.”

  Lukas smiled, removing his hand from her tits, he now held her head gently between his hands.

  “You're amazing, you know that? This is what I love about you, always putting others ahead of yourself including your friends.” He closed his eyes and kissed her.

  “Jake's very lucky to have a friend like you,” he whispered. He fixed up his shirt and pants and turned towards the door, “I better get going, Joseph's been waiting a while.”

  Sienna adjusted her top and skirt, she quietly opened the front door and Lukas stepped outside.

  “Thank you, again for an amazing week.”

  “My pleasure,” he replied as he kissed her once again.

  Sienna smiled and watched as Lukas stepped into the limousine. He opened the window and waved as Sienna watched the car turn down the street and out of sight.

  She closed the door and quietly dragged her suitcase to her room.

  She stripped out of her clothes, letting out a sigh of relief as she removed her bra, allowing her tits to sag freely.

  “I have been waiting hours to do that,” she whispered.

  She threw on her pajamas, she was too tired to unpack, so she decided that she would do it tomorrow after she got home from work.

  She heard a noise from Jake's room, she pressed her ear against the wall and listened quietly. She could hear the sounds of his loud snores echoing through the wall and into her eardrum. A smile swept over her face, even though she had just had the most fantastic week of her life, she missed her best friend.

  She was extremely tired, but Sienna just couldn't seem to go to sleep. Perhaps it was all the excitement that had built up inside her this past week. She slowly tiptoed out into the kitchen and made herself a hot chocolate. As she turned to head back to her room, Jake's bedroom door opened. He yawned as he walked out in his blue satin boxers and headed for the kitchen.

  “Sorry, did I wake you?” Sienna asked.

  “No!” Jake yawned, “Just grabbing a drink.”

  He opened the fridge, the light blinding his vision as he squinted his eyes.

  “How was the vacation?” He asked, sleepily.

  “Amazing! Lukas and I had a really great time, just sad that it's all over.”

  “Is, Lukas here?” Jake asked, looking around.

  “No, he's gone.”

  “Thank fuck for that,” Jake whispered under his breath.

  “What?” Sienna asked.

  “Nothing!”

  “Jake, seriously, I've been home two minutes and already you're going to get started.”

  “I didn't say anything,” he yawned.

  “Yeah, yeah! Anyway, I'm going to try and get some sleep, I'm exhausted. Night!” She yawned, grabbing her hot chocolate and heading for her room, shutting the door behind her.

  “Night,” Jake said as he finished his drink. He turned out the light and slowly walked back to his room.

  Sienna grabbed her phone, she started typing a message to Lukas but stopped, suddenly. He'd only been gone half an hour, she didn't want to come across as the nervous girlfriend who was always attached. She sighed and rolled over, within a couple of minutes she could hear Jake snoring again through the walls.

  After what seemed like hours of tossing and turning she finally managed to settle her excitement and fall asleep.

  She woke the following morning to find a message from Lukas on her phone; Hope you slept okay, miss you and have a good day at work. I love you, Lukas x.

  She smiled as she hoped out of bed and changed into her work clothes, I love you too x she replied. She could hear Jake in the kitchen, she opened the door and headed towards him.

  “Morning!” He said, placing a fresh cup of coffee in front of her.

  “Coffee, great! Thanks.”

  She looked at the clock and gasped.

  “Fuck! I'm running late.”

  “Why don't you call in sick? Say you have jet lag or something.”

  “Jake, Canada is only five hours away.”

  “So, it was a very long five hours,” he joked.

  “Nah! As tempting as the offer sounds, I really should go in. I can imagine the amount of work that's piled up on my desk, waiting for me.”

  “Good luck with that,” Jake joked, again.

  “Oh you're so funny,” she replied.

  She put on her make-up, grabbed her bag and quickly headed out the door.

  “Bye,” she yelled, running to the car.

  She turned the ignition and put her foot on the accelerator, but the car wouldn't start. She tried again several times, but it was dead.

  “Shit, shit, shit,” she yelled.

  She ran back into the house, catching a glimpse of Jake in a towel as he was heading for the shower.

  “Jake?” She yelled.

  “Yeah?”

  “Sorry, but can you give me a lift to work, my car won't start, battery must be dead.”

  “Sure, let me put some clothes on,” he said quickly going back to his room to change.

  “I'm so going to be late,” Sienna said.

  “I'm coming, I'm coming,” Jake replied, grabbing his keys and heading out the door.

  The commute to work took longer than normal, peak hour traffic in Manhattan was the worst at the best of times but today, it seemed everyone had left at the same time.

  “Fuck this traffic,” Sienna said.

  “Relax, Sienna, just call the office and let them know you'll be late.”

  “It's not that easy, Jake. I've been gone a week and I know I'll have shit loads of work to catch up on.”

  “So?”

  “So, I don't really want to work back tonight. I wanted to catch up with you, Ivy and Dick. I've been gone a week, I'm sure a lot has happened.”

  “Not really.”

  “Well, I want
ed to ask them over for dinner, do you think you can go to the grocery store and do some shopping?”

  “Sienna! Stop stressing, I'll take care of everything. I'll go to the grocery store, I'll call Dick and Ivy and I'll even make dinner, just relax.”

  “Actually, I'll catch up with Ivy at lunch, I'll let her know then. So all you need to do is worry about the cooking. Thanks, Jake, I love you.” She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek, relief sweeping over her face.

  Jake couldn't help but get hard within seconds. She'd kissed him many times before, but this was the first time she'd ever said that she loved him, even if it wasn't in the context that he wanted. He could feel his cock throbbing in his pants and he was relieved that he was sitting down. Suddenly, he couldn't help but feel awkward sitting there all alone with her.

  “So, I haven't really had much of a chance to speak to you since I got back, what have you been up to this past week? Anything interesting happen?”

  “No, not really. I met up with the band a couple of times, just to discuss some new material but we haven't written or recorded anything new yet.”

  “New material? So you'll be starting a new song or album, soon?”

  “Not for a while, no. The band and I have discussed it and at the moment, we're all enjoying the free time that we have. Tori thinks that we should just use this time to wind down and relax.”

  “So, what does that mean? You guys won't be recording anymore?”

  “No, I didn't say that. This album took a lot out of us, it took us almost a year to produce and it was a lot of time away from our family and friends. It's done really well and we've had a lot of positive feedback. Not to mention the amount of play it's been getting around town and the publicity with all our tours. We just want to see how it goes.”

  There was brief silence as the car slowed down at the traffic lights.

  “Are you happy?” Sienna asked out of the blue.

  “I beg your pardon?” Jake replied, completely confused.

  “Are you happy? I mean, with the way things have worked out for you?”

  “Oh! Look, I think the band and I have come a very long way since we've started. And for me, it’s a hobby more than anything. I do it because I love doing it, not because I have to just to make a living. Yeah sure, the money helps, but it's not everything.”
