First Crush (Dark Falkon #1) Page 2

  After he dressed, he grabbed his guitar from his room, placed it over his shoulders, and sat down at the table. Sienna dished up the bacon and eggs then sat down beside him.

  “Are you all set for the gig?” She asked.

  “We’re as ready as we can be, I guess. We’ve been practicing every night for the past two months. If we’re not ready now, then I guess we never will be.”

  He ate his breakfast, barely looking at Sienna.

  “Nervous?” Sienna asked.

  “A little, I mean, this is our first concert.”

  “Yeah, but singing and playing the guitar is your life Jake, doesn’t it all come naturally by now?”

  “It does, but this is different. This is a big deal for the band and I. Tori is lucky because she comes from a musical family. Both her parents were singers and her brother and sister both played the drums and the guitar, I never had any of that, I was self-trained.”

  “You really need to stop stressing, you’ll be fine and you’ll be amazing. I know you will.”

  The two of them slowly finished their meals, Jake sat down on the sofa and tuned his guitar while Sienna washed up.

  “So does this mean I get to hear the new song, tonight?”

  “Yes!” Jake yelled from the sofa and Sienna let out a loud “Finally!” from the kitchen.

  “By the way, how come you never asked Tori’s brother or sister to be in the band?”

  “Oh, we did, but they said that they were no longer interested in performing full time. They had already been performing for years and by the time we started up the band, they just didn’t have the heart to do it anymore.”

  Jake’s cell phone rang; “Hey, Tori!” he answered, as Sienna put the last of the dishes away. “Yeah, I’m ready now,” Sienna grabbed her bag and pulled out her cell, checking for any messages. “Okay, thanks, I’ll see you soon.” He removed the guitar from around his neck, placed it in its case and grabbed the rest of his gear from the bedroom.

  “Was that the band?” Sienna called.

  “Yeah, they are on their way.”

  “But the benefit doesn’t start until seven p.m., and it’s only eleven a.m.,” she said, looking at her watch.

  “I know,” he emerged from the bedroom and placed the amplifier and guitar by the front door, “but we need to get down to the venue so that we can do a sound and lighting check and go through the songs one more time.”

  He finished talking and walked hastily to the bathroom, he grabbed a wad of gel and spread it evenly through his hair, spiking it. He splashed on his expensive Hugo Boss aftershave, cleaned his teeth and headed back out into the living room.

  “Oh! Wow! You scrub up nicely,” Sienna said, “Oh wait,” she walked over to him and fiddled with his hair, “there, that’s better.”

  “Thanks,” he said and smiled.

  “New cologne?”

  “Yeah. You like?”

  “Yeah, I do actually, you smell really nice.”

  Jake smiled as he heard a car horn downstairs.”

  “That’s the guys,” he said, picking up his guitar and amplifier.

  “Do you need a hand?”

  “Nah, thanks. I guess I’ll see you there, then?”

  “Yep. I’m about to text Ivy now, we’re going to hang out until it’s time to leave.”

  “Ok.” Jake opened the door and stepped outside, “Oh, Jake?” Sienna called, running towards him, she leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek, “Break a leg.” Jake smiled at her, he couldn’t control the redness that had suddenly swept across his face. “See you later.”

  He closed the door and made his way downstairs, Sienna could hear their voices and the sound of a car engine. She looked out the window and watched as the black Jeep drove off.

  “Man! He's hot,” Ivy yelled through the crowd, as Lightning Ridge performed.

  “What? Who?” Sienna roared.

  “Jake. He's hot.”

  “Ivy, you've seen him before, many times.”

  “Yeah, but not like this, I mean he's really hot. I can't believe the two of you live together and you haven't even fucked him, yet.”

  “Excuse me?!” Sienna was mortified.

  “I'm just saying.”

  “We are practically brother and sister, neither of us has ever looked at one another like that. Besides, I've got my eye on someone else.”

  “Oh, right, yeah! Lukas, how could I possibly forget?” Ivy fluttered her eyelashes at Sienna, and the two of them continued to dance. “So, he’s still single, then?” Ivy asked, intrigued.

  “Jake?”

  Ivy nodded, she had always had a thing for Jake, since she met him, but was too shy to tell him.

  “Yes, he's single. But you're not his type, Ivy.”

  “Really? How would you know?”

  “I know Jake, and I know his type. Trust me, don't waste your time.”

  Sienna and Ivy danced as Lightning Ridge continued to perform on stage. Ivy turned her eyes on Jake and winked at him, he acknowledged her with a smile, but who he really wanted, was Sienna.

  The venue was small and it was a full house. There were security guards at every exit and charity workers had a stall set up in front of the main entrance. Sienna knew how much tonight meant to Jake and the band, and she was happy that it was a sold out show for their first gig.

  “We are going to take a small break and we will be back soon with a very special surprise,” Jake announced on the mic, as he and the rest of the band headed off stage.

  “Come on, let's go,” Sienna said, grabbing Ivy's arm and dragging her away through the crowd.

  “Where are we going?”

  “Just trust me, come on.” The two of them made their way through the crowd as fast as they could, and soon they found themselves backstage. Sienna followed the narrow corridor until the two of them came to a stop outside a room. Sienna knocked on the door and she could hear someone approaching.

  “Oh! Hello, Sienna,” Tori said, flinging open the door.

  “Hi.”

  “I'll get Jake,” Tori turned and walked back inside the dressing room, Sienna and Ivy stood there staring around inside the room.

  “Hey!” Jake appeared before them.

  “Hello,” Ivy blushed, waving her hand.

  “Great show, Jake,” Sienna smiled.

  “Thanks. I don't have a lot of time, sorry, I need to get back on stage” he said, frantically buttoning up a fresh shirt he had put on and restyling his hair.

  “No, its fine, I get it. We just wanted to let you know that we are enjoying the show. So this surprise, is it your new song?” She asked.

  “Jake, we really need to get ready,” Lance said.

  “Sorry guys, I really have to go,” before either of them had the chance to say anything, he turned and walked back inside.

  Sienna and Ivy headed back to the stage and found their seats.

  “Shit, I have to pee,” Ivy said.

  “You're unbelievable,” Sienna raised her eyebrows. “You better hurry up, they're about to start.”

  Ivy made her way through the crowd while Sienna adjusted her shirt and pants. She checked her phone for messages as the lights in the room dimmed slightly.

  There was a roar of cheers and clapping from the crowd as one by one, the band started to make their way back on stage. A spotlight lit up center stage as Jake walked over and grabbed the microphone.

  Ivy quickly emerged from the crowd and sat down beside Sienna, in the nick of time.

  “Our last song for tonight is very special to us. It's about four ordinary people, living ordinary lives, until one day, they decided to get together and form a band. It's called One Road.”

  Jake strummed the strings on his guitar, the lights dimmed even lower and the stage was lit with a dark shade of blue lighting. The tempo of the music had changed from rock, to a gentle ballad. Tori took a step forward and grabbed the mic, Lance moved from his drums to the piano while Jake continued on the guitar.

&nb
sp; Jake grabbed the microphone and started singing. Sienna and Ivy stared at the stage and the audience remained quiet. The words were amazing, powerful and meaningful, like it had been written from the heart.

  Tori joined Jake on the microphone while the rest of the band joined in the chorus. Sienna looked around, the entire audience was fixed to the stage, completely speechless. As they all sat there and listened, Sienna couldn't help but get into the moment, and she became slightly teary eyed. She could tell that Jake and the band had really poured their heart and soul into this song. It was no wonder he didn't want her to hear it before now, he wanted a genuine reaction.

  The band finished the song and there was a roar of applause from the audience as they stood up and gave the band a standing ovation. Sienna wiped the tears from her eyes as she winked and smiled at Jake. Ivy placed her fingers in her mouth and whistled loudly. The band took a step forward and bowed, as the audience continued to chant and applaud.

  Within about fifteen minutes the entire complex was almost completely empty except for a few people who were hanging around and chatting with the band. One of the guys that Sienna had been dancing with all night caught her attention. He called her towards him and she obliged, leaving Ivy stranded in the middle of the room.

  “I never caught your name?” he asked.

  “Sienna,” she replied.

  “Sienna, I’m Jesse,” he leaned forward and pulled her in for a kiss. Ivy stared at the stage, she watched as Jake gathered his things and made his way down towards Sienna. “I guess I will see you at home, then?” she laughed, as Jesse tickled her neck. Jake nodded, he grabbed his equipment and made his way to the stage door. Ivy’s eyes lit up, she quickly walked over to Sienna and nudged her on the shoulder, almost pushing her over.

  “Oh! Jake, you know Ivy, yeah?” he response was sarcastic, clearly. He had known Ivy almost as long as he had known Sienna.

  “Yes, Sienna,” Jake threw her a smile and she blushed, just as she had done earlier. “Hi, Ivy,” he said.

  “H-Hi,” Ivy stuttered, feeling slightly embarrassed.

  “Ivy’s going to spend the night, I hope you don’t mind,” Sienna asked.

  “No, not at all. I’m actually pretty tired, so when we get home I might just crash and go to bed.”

  “Do you have a car?” Sienna asked Jesse.

  “No! I caught the train,” he replied, tickling her neck once more.

  “Perfect, so did we.”

  They exited the building, Jake loaded his equipment into the trunk of the Jeep while Sienna, Ivy and Jesse walked to the subway. Sienna and Jesse couldn’t keep their hands off each other the entire journey home. Ivy felt very awkward sitting next to them, but she couldn’t move to another seat because the carriage was completely full. She leaned back and put her headphones in her ears, she let her eyes close as she thought about Jake and how incredibly perfect he was.

  The train came to a stop some forty-five minutes later. The three of them stepped off and headed home. Once again, Ivy was left on her own while Sienna and Jesse tagged along behind, giggling. Sienna had no trouble picking up guys, that was certain, she even brought them home and let them stay the night.

  When they arrived at the apartment, Jake had only just arrived home. He placed his equipment in his room and changed out of his clothes. Ivy changed into her boxers and a Tee, and made herself comfortable on the sofa bed. Sienna and Jesse poured some wine and then made their way to the bedroom. Jake walked out of his room in his boxers, Ivy looked up and her eyes wandered over his bare chest. She blushed and quickly turned around, hoping that he hadn’t noticed.

  “I’m sorry about Sienna, she…tends to get a little carried away whenever she has a man over,” Jake said.

  “Oh, it’s fine. I’m used to it by now.” There was a brief silence, before Jake spoke; “Well, I’m sorry to have to do this, but I’m really tired and I am going to head to bed. Goodnight, Ivy.”

  “Night, Jake,” she replied as he closed his bedroom door. Ivy turned off the light in the living room, and aside from the constant giggling coming from Sienna’s bedroom, the only other sound she could hear, was Jake’s heavy breathing through his bedroom door. She put her headphones in her ears and slowly drifted off to sleep.

  Sienna stripped out of her clothes, exposing her nakedness to Jesse, who quickly did the same.

  “Wow! You have an amazing body,” Jesse said, as he leaned forward and pulled her in. Sienna tilted her neck as Jesse pulled on her skin. The feeling was amazing, her body tingled with his touch. She placed her hand on his chest, rubbing it over the small amount of hair that he had.

  Her fingers caressed his nipples, urging him to take her. His lips found her breasts. He surrounded them with kisses and tugged on her nipples with his hands. Her fingers ran through his hair, as she moaned, the feeling of his tongue caressing her nipple was exactly what she needed. Each swirl of his tongue bringing her to a new height of pleasure.

  With her hand, she reached down, grabbing his cock, he was hard and huge, at least eight inches. She was pleased to see that he was shaven. Sienna lowered herself to her knees, opened her lips and placed them around his cock.

  Jesse pulled at her hair, moaning with each roll of her tongue around his bulbous head. Sienna placed her hands on his ass, his cheeks were soft and smooth.

  Making her way back up, his lips met hers and they kissed passionately before he lay her down on the bed.

  Leaving his mark on her stomach, he traced a trail with his tongue. His thumb felt her opening, she was soft and wet. His tongue found her core and he lapped at her clit like a kitten drinking milk from a dish. He milked her of all she had to give.

  “Good morning!” Jesse rolled over the following morning, kissing Sienna.

  “Good morning. How did you sleep?” He asked.

  “Amazing. You?”

  “Yeah, pretty good, actually.”

  “Just good?” Sienna teased.

  “Ok, I slept amazingly well, too. You certainly know how to please a guy.”

  “I try my best.”

  The two of them pulled up the covers and Sienna climbed on top of Jesse and began riding his cock.

  “Fuck, you're amazing,” he said, leaning up and kissing her.

  “You're pretty fucking awesome, yourself,” she said, as she continued to saddle him.

  Through their moans, Sienna could hear footsteps coming from the living room. Jake walked out into the living room, trying to stay quiet so that he wouldn't wake Ivy, who was sleeping peacefully on the sofa. He walked past her and headed for the bathroom.

  Sienna's bedroom door opened, she quickly put on her night gown and tied a small lose bow on the front.

  Jesse threw on his pants and shirt and the two of them quietly snuck out into the living room, trying not to make any noise.

  “Breakfast?” She asked, kissing Jesse behind his ear.

  “I'd love too, really I would, but I need to get going.”

  “Do you need a ride to the station?” Sienna asked.

  “No, it's fine. I'll walk.”

  He grabbed the notepad that was sitting in the bench and scribbled down his phone number. With one final kiss, he turned and walked out the door, shutting it behind him.

  Sienna heard Ivy moan from the sofa, she walked over to her and sat down on the arm chair.

  “Morning,” she smiled as Ivy opened her eyes.

  “Morning,” Ivy yawned. “Where's Jesse?”

  “Oh! He just left, sorry if we woke you. We're we too noisy last night?”

  “No. I pretty much dozed off as soon as my head hit the pillow.”

  “You mean, you and Jake didn't stay up for a night cap?” Ivy laughed, “No. He was tired, after you and Jesse went to bed he pretty much crashed as well.”

  “Where is he, by the way?” Sienna asked.

  “I'm not sure, I haven't seen him since last night.

  At that moment, the bathroom door flung open. Jake stormed out of the show
er, he was clasping his towel around his waist with his fist, and water was dripping down his chest. He walked to his room hastily, while Ivy stared at him, wide eyed.

  “Argh,” Jake screamed from his bedroom.

  “What's up, Jake?”

  “I can't find my underwear.” He yelled.

  “Check the washing basket in the laundry. I did a load of washing yesterday before we went out.”

  Jake walked through the living room again, he was still holding the towel and water continued to stream down his body.

  “Morning, Jake,” Ivy smiled.

  “Hi, Ivy,” he replied, barely looking at her.

  He grabbed some clean black underwear and walked back out into the living room.

  “Where's your friend?” He asked Sienna.

  “You mean, Jesse? He just left.”

  “Oh.” He walked back to the bathroom, whistling some tune as he closed the door behind him.

  “Seriously, I can't believe you live with THAT and you haven't fucked him.”

  “Ivy, I already told you, Jake and I are practically brother and sister. We've been living together for three years now, and neither one of us has ever look at the other in that way. We're best friends.”

  “But that's the best part, you could be friends with benefits. No strings attached, it's perfect.”

  The bathroom door flung open once again and Jake stepped out throwing on a Tee. He grabbed some juice from the fridge and then opened the cupboard above the stove. As he reached for a glass, his Tee rose up and Ivy caught a glimpse of his Hugo Boss underwear hanging on his hips.

  Sienna noticed that Ivy was staring lustfully at Jake and was beside herself with laughter.

  “Did I miss the joke?” Jake asked.

  “Huh? Oh! No, sorry, Ivy was just ah...admiring the view.”

  Ivy smacked Sienna hard on the forearm. Jake was completely clueless, he poured some juice while Ivy and Sienna tried to keep a straight face.

  “French toast, anyone?” He asked, taking the eggs out of the fridge.

  “Sure, soft and moist please, just the way I like it,” Sienna laughed. Ivy was beside herself, she threw the blankets over her and collapsed onto the couch in embarrassment.

  The three of them sat at the table, Ivy made it a point to sit next to Jake. She watched as he ate his French toast, her eyes almost popping out of her head with each move that he made.
