Chapter 122: Play or Pass

~ Soraya ~

Lyra: [Send me pictures now!]

Seeing her friend's demand in the text, Soraya laughed. She

sent photos of the beach, with her and Jacob's feet in the

frame.

Lyra: [Ahhhhh! You should post this on your social media! At

least tell the world you have a life! Even our college friends

think you have locked yourself in a room. Go!]

Soraya laughed again, lying in Jacob's arms. They were

sunbathing, and Jacob insisted they share the same sun

lounge.

Jacob pinched her stomach and asked, “What are you

laughing about?”

“Lyra wants me to upload pictures on social media,” Soraya

replied, looking at Jacob's sun-kissed face.

“You have social media?” Jacob asked.

“| created one recently to check the ads Lyra made,” she

explained. “But there's nothing there. Not a single photo. Do

you have social media?”

“No, just the company's pages,” Jacob said. “Social media is

mostly a way for people to gossip about you.”

Soraya shrugged and put away her phone. Seconds later,

Jacob said, “You know what? You should post a photo.”

She frowned. “Why? Weren't you just against it?”

“Give me your phone. Let me do it,” he said.

----

Soraya casually handed him her phone. Jacob pulled her

thigh higher against his legs and snapped a photo of the

beach, probably along with their legs. He posted it and typed a

caption before handing the phone back.

When Soraya saw what he wrote, her mouth nearly hit the

floor.

The photo showed their intertwined legs against the beach

backdrop. No faces, but the way their limbs tangled made it

look... hot.

Not only that, he posted it as her profile picture!

The caption read: [Love spending time with my man. Sorry

boys, I'm already taken.]

Soraya: "...”

“Don't even think about deleting that,” he said deadpan,

sunglasses hiding his eyes.

They swam for a bit, with Jacob carrying her on his back. The

water was clear and cold, refreshing against her sore legs.

The couple didn't stay long. Soon, they returned to the villa for

acandle-lit dinner prepared by the resort.

The lobster, pasta, and wine were delicious, and the service

was perfect. By the time they finished, Soraya could walk

again, though she was still limping a little.

Back in the bedroom, Jacob noticed a paper bag from

Veronica.

“What did Mom give you?” he asked.

“| haven't checked yet,” Soraya replied.

Jacob took the bag and poured its contents on the bed. It was

----

a box of a drinking couple game called Play or Pass.

“What is that?” Soraya asked.

Jacob opened the box. “I guess we'll find out. It’s still eight—

too early to sleep.”

After stacking the cards, Soraya noticed a note from Veronica:

“Whoever is the first to give their most embarrassing moment

goes first.”

“In high school, my friends and | thought it would be fun to go

skinny dipping at the gym pool during evening practice. Guess

who got caught?” Jacob said first.

Soraya blinked and laughed. “Okay, you go first.”

“But | want to hear your most embarrassing moment too,”

Jacob requested.

She chuckled and shared hers. “Well, in high school, | tripped

on stage during a recital and pretended it was part of the

choreography.”

A smirk appeared on Jacob's face. “! wish I'd seen that.”

“l wish | had seen you skinny dipping,” she shot back.

“We can go skinny dipping tonight,” Jacob suggested, “and

we wouldn't have to worry about getting caught.”

Soraya laughed at the idea but drew a card for Jacob. She

read, “Share one dream you've never told anyone.”

“Hmmm,” Jacob said, frowning as he thought. “Don't laugh,

but there was a time | wanted to join the Backstreet Boys.”

“Hahaha!” Soraya couldn't help it. Jacob in a boy band? She

imagined admirers being simultaneously terrified and

fascinated.

----

“Didn't | say, don't laugh?” he hissed, taking a card. “Your turn.

What was the first thing about me that caught your attention?”

Soraya hushed her laughter. “Well... you really have a striking

look. Your face.”

“You couldn't be more shallow,’ he teased. She fell amused

again

“I'm just being honest,” she said, taking a card and reading it

to him. “Whisper in my ear how you'd describe me to a

stranger.”

Soraya flushed, waiting. Jacob leaned in and softly murmured

against her ear, “The woman | want to marry.”

Her face burned. He kissed her cheek and lips. Then he drew

another card for her. “Recreate your best ‘seductive’ look right

now.”

“| don’t have a seductive look,” she protested.

“Try it. Go ahead,” Jacob encouraged, arms crossed. “| don’t

get seduced easily.”

“Fine.” Soraya tied her hair into a ponytail, then pulled the

scrunchie down and flipped her hair, biting her lip as she

stared at Jacob.

Jacob hissed, reaching for his groin and adjusting his shaft. “

That was hot.”

Soraya, "..."

“That wasn't even sexy,” she said.

“Worked a charm for me,” he replied.

Soraya rolled her eyes and took another card. She read, “What’

s one thing you want me to do that you've never said out loud?”

----

“That's easy,” Jacob said casually. “Deep throat.”

Soraya's eyes fluttered. Her mind went blank.

“It's every man’s dream. | wouldn't force you, of course.”

Jacob drew another card for her. “If | were a dessert, what

would | be and why?”

Soraya thought hard, then said, while her face flushed. “You'd

be a molten chocolate lava cake... a sin | can’t resist.”

Jacob grinned. She could tell he liked the way she described

him.

It was Soraya’s turn to get a card for Jacob. She read, “Touch

something nearby slowly... like it's me.”

The only objects close were the box, the cards, and their

phones. Jacob picked up a used card and, while looking at her,

traced gentle, circular motions on it with two fingers.

Soraya gulped. She knew exactly what he was imagining.

She bit her lip, her core tingling.

Her heart raced, but she ignored it until Jacob drew another

card. He said, “Sit on my lap and kiss me somewhere you've

never kissed me before.”

‘Oh, boy; Soraya pondered. With the amount of lovemaking

they had done, it was hard to find a spot that she hadn't

kissed. But then, her eyes landed on his chest.

Men also had nipples. Well, she hasn't tried that.

Clearing her throat, she instructed, "Take off your shirt."
