Bridesmaid for Hire Read online

  They go back into the party and sit down to eat dinner. Jane sits next to Brad on his left and it feels good to be with him. She can see how everyone respects him and listens to what he has to say.

  Brad puts his hand on Jane’s knee and squeezes it lightly, reassuring her. She feels calm in his presence and confident that everything will be okay.

  Jane doesn’t understand half of the jokes people say, nor does she get what they are talking about when it comes to finances. It is all over her head. Finally, a woman named Margaret speaks to Jane.

  “So, dear, how did you get into ballet?”

  The whole table goes silent and looks over at her. Jane feels very self-conscious now.

  Brad puts his arm around her to give her strength.

  “Well, honestly, when I was a kid watching T.V.,” she says earnestly.

  Everyone laughs. “Oh, that is so sweet,” one woman says pretentiously.

  “It’s true. I watched those shows for years, studying their every move. My parents couldn’t afford to send me to ballet school, so I had to wait until I was older. A teacher noticed my interest and encouraged my parents to send me to classes,” Jane continues.

  Jane’s boldness about being a poor girl surprises many people at the table. They don’t know how to react, turning their eyes down toward their meals and picking up their glasses for a drink. Jane has never experienced this kind of reaction before.

  She looks over to Brad, a bit perplexed. Her expression asks him if she had said something wrong.

  Brad speaks up.

  “I admire self-made people. I was of the lucky few who were born with money, and I didn’t have to work half as hard as someone like Jane. You’re a strong woman!” he says, raising his glass to toast her.

  They all raise their glasses in sync with Brad. Jane takes a breath in and smiles, feeling the warmth of his acknowledgment.

  “To Jane!” he says.

  “To Jane!” they repeat.

  They finally finish up dinner and dessert. Wendy brings out coffee and tea for everyone, and they all move to the living room.

  “Now it’s time for Jane’s performance,” announces Brad.

  Jane instantly gets butterflies in her stomach. She feels a bit numb, and now, has doubts she will be able to perform. But she knows she has no other choice at this point.

  They dim the lights and bring everyone together in a semi-circle. Jane leaves the room and waits for Brad to turn on the music. She fixes her hair and fidgets with her dress.

  A modern, pop ballet song comes on, one that her ballet instructor introduced them to at the beginning of the year. Jane is amazed that Brad knows all of these details.

  She takes a deep breath in and out and gets into position. She races into the center of the room and stops. The crowd feels her intensity. She then rushes forward and back, showing emotions of desperation and passion. She twirls and stops, adding in wild and funky movements most people have never seen before.

  The crowd is thrilled and amazed at Jane’s abilities. They hold their breath, clap, ooh and ah, and are truly impressed by her skills.

  The music stops and Jane flops to the floor, crumpled into a tiny ball. Everyone stands up and cheers. Brad goes over to help Jane up.

  “Oh my gosh, young lady, you are the next big thing!” says one man.

  “We must get your autograph before you become famous,” says another.

  “You have to be the best ballerina I’ve ever seen,” says an older woman.

  Jane is so pleased and stunned that people there really like her.

  Brad puts his arm around her waist with pride. “I told her you would love her. I fell for her the first time I saw her dance,” he says, kissing her on the cheek. “You were absolutely marvelous, darling,” he says.

  Brad wraps her overcoat around her and they walk out to the patio to spend time alone. The cool breeze of the sea and the night air sweep through her hair. Jane feels on top of the world. All her hard work, quiet suffering, and difficulty culminated into this one performance, and it proves she was right to listen to her heart. She absolutely glows with possibilities for her future.

  “Jane, you have no idea what you just did tonight. You will become a world famous ballerina. I can promise you that!” Brad says, beaming with excitement.

  “I don’t even know what to say, Brad. I can’t thank you enough, and yet, I’m still in shock. What am I supposed to do?” she says.

  “Just keep being you. Life will take care of the rest. I’m right here and I will support you,” he says.

  Life could not get any sweeter than it is right now. Brad holds Jane close to his chest and she can hear his heart thudding. It makes her feel like everything will be just fine.

  Paul comes through the sliding door, drunk.

  “So, you got yourself a virgin, eh, Brad? Can I have her first?” he says crassly.

  Brad turns to look at him, holding Jane’s hand.

  “Shut the hell up, Paul. Don’t you dare treat Jane like that ever again. I can’t believe you hit on her. You and I are no longer friends.”

  “What? Because of a chick? Come on, man, you’ve lost it.”

  “No, because I don’t hang out with assholes like you. Leave, now. I don’t want to see you again.”

  Jane is so touched that Brad would stand up for her like this. She can’t believe he’d do this to his friend for her.

  She leans into him more and looks up to him. “Thank you, Brad. You are a true gentleman.” She kisses him on the mouth.

  “You are worth it, Jane.” he says, kissing her back.

  Chapter 44

  At the end of the night, Brad and Jane go back to the hotel in the limo. Jane feels quite exhausted from the adrenaline of the night. She leans into Brad and falls asleep on his chest. It feels like home.

  He looks down at her. Her cute nose, the dimple on her cheek, the sprinkling of freckles on her face, she is so delicate and sensitive, and he just loves how adorable she is. He strokes her hair lightly and rubs her arms. She snuggles in closer.

  “Jane? Jane?” he says, whispering softly.

  “Mmm,” she moans, half-awake, snuggling in further.

  “I think I’m falling in love with you,” Brad says, barely loud enough for her to hear.

  “Oh, that’s nice,” she replies and starts snoring softly.

  When they arrive, the driver opens the door. Jane wakes up and wipes her eyes. “Where are we?”

  “Back at the hotel, darling,” Brad says.

  “Oh,” Jane replies, not catching the endearing reference.

  “Come, Jane, I want to invite you to my room. I have a surprise for you,” Brad says.

  “Well, that’s a bit presumptuous,” Jane replies, leaning into him.

  “I fully respect your wishes and desires, Jane, you know that,” Brad reassures her. “This is something extra special.”

  “You always have something up your sleeve! Where do you find the time, really?” she says. “I love it, though,” she adds.

  “Well, is that a yes?”

  “Yes,” she affirms.

  They walk up to Brad’s room, his coat covering her shoulders. Jane starts feeling a bit nervous because this might be the night she loses her virginity. She’s not sure if she’s ready, but she feels attracted to him and wants to express her love for him.

  Brad jiggles the door open, and they are met with the scent of roses. It fills the room and is absolutely beautiful.

  Jane walks in first. She sees red rose petals all over the room, and a trail of white ones guiding her into the bathroom. A hot bath is drawn with rose petals and bubble bath suds.

  “Oh my gosh. Brad, whatever have you done?”

  “There are 2,222 rose petals in here for you and me. It’s all about the two of us, my dear,” Brad says, snuggling up behind her.

  He takes his coat off of her, revealing her sexy corset and tutu.

  “My God, Jane, that outfit turns me on like crazy,” Brad says,
passionately kissing her neck up and down and grabbing her belly from behind.

  He kisses her faster and longer, sucking her neck and pulling her closer. He gets aroused, and she feels his cock pulsing behind her. He grabs her tits and starts rubbing them.

  Jane closes her eyes and throws her head back. His touches and kisses are driving her crazy. She wants him to bend her over and fuck her right there while she watches him in the mirror.

  Her desire for him is so strong, and she knows she could ruin a special moment between them with her lust.

  “Oh, I want you so badly, Jane,” Brad says, pulling her closer. He reaches behind her to undo the ribbons on her corset.

  “Brad, I want you so badly, too. I just, you know… I don’t want to make this just something raw and quick. Can we please slow down? I do want you, please know that.”

  Jane feels disappointed in herself for stopping this. Her body wants to say yes, yet her heart wants this moment to be filled with love.

  “Of course, sweetheart, I understand,” he says, grabbing her hands and holding them tight. “You know I want you for more than just your body, right?”

  Jane nods and turns to him. “Yes, I do know that, Brad. I really do. You’ve made me feel nothing but special.”

  “I’m going to leave you alone in here to undress and get into the tub. May I join you after? I promise, I won’t peek,” says Brad.

  “Okay, yes. I’d love it if you joined me,” replies Jane.

  He leaves the room for a while to let her undress.

  Jane looks in the mirror at herself in her tutu and corset, with the rose petals all around her. She feels so beautiful, attractive and desired. She knows that tonight will probably be the night, and she’s partly nervous, but she feels so safe with Brad.

  She undoes her corset and tutu, and slips into the hot tub. The smell of roses and vanilla waft through the air. The suds cover her naked body.

  Brad knocks on the door.

  “Can I come in now?”

  “Yes, I’m ready.”

  “Just to make you feel better, I’m wearing a blindfold so I don’t see anything you don’t want me to,” he says, partly laughing to make it a game.

  Brad is wearing his boxers, and Jane can see through them a bit. She sees how big he really is.

  “Well, don’t bump into the step!” Jane laughs. “Oh my God, you’re so silly!”

  She reaches out her hand to grab his and guides him slowly into the tub.

  “Forgive me now if I do anything inappropriate,” he says.

  “Well, I’ll be the judge of that,” she laughs. “You can take off the blindfold now. I’m fully covered.”

  He does, and he looks over at her. It’s as if her face is glowing.

  “Oh my gosh, Jane. You are just so beautiful. Whatever have I done to deserve having you here with me?”

  “You took a risk, is what you did,” Jane smiles. She reaches out for his hand again.

  “Brad, I want to be with you tonight. I’m ready.”

  Brad kisses her hand. “Jane, it would be my honor and my pleasure to be your first. I’m all yours.”

  Chapter 45

  Jane moves over to Brad and starts kissing him. It feels so good that she really does want him and that he doesn’t have to keep chasing her or pressuring her. He feels loved and wanted.

  She nibbles his lips, touches her nose against his, and wraps her arms around his neck. He reaches behind her, grabs her back, and traces his fingers up her spine. He places his hand flat against the bottom of her spine, rubs her, and reaches down to her ass.

  “I have no idea what I’m doing, Brad,” she says.

  “It’s okay, sweetheart. You’re in safe hands. I will treat you right, and everything will be just fine,” he reassures. “How are you feeling right now?”

  “Really good. I like your hand there.” She smiles.

  “Good. I like it there, too,” he says.

  His cock starts getting harder. “And he likes it there, too,” Brad jokes.

  Jane can feel his hard, thick cock pulsing up against her outer thigh. She’s straddling Brad’s leg. He pushes her lower back forward and back, rubbing her pussy against him.

  “Do you like that?” he asks.

  “Mmmm hmmm,” she says. “That feels really good.”

  He lifts his leg a little higher so her tits come out of the water. He bends over a bit and sucks on the left nipple. It takes Jane’s breath away.

  “Oh God, Brad, that feels amazing.”

  He nibbles and bites on her nipple and makes it tight. Tingles go right down her body, her belly tightens, and she feels so turned on.

  He rubs her faster against his leg, her pussy becoming juicier and tighter. Her whole body tightens, dying to feel his cock inside her.

  He rubs her other tit with his hand and squeezes her nipple between his fingers. Jane throws her head back in ecstasy. She has never felt like this before, and she never wants it to end.

  “Here, can I show you something?” Brad asks. “I’ll show you what makes me feel good.”

  “Oh, I want to make you feel this good, too,” Jane says.

  “You’re such a good girl,” Brad moans.

  He takes her hand and places it on his cock. He wraps his hand around it to show her how he likes it, stroking it up and down with the right pressure. Jane feels him getting harder and more aroused.

  “Oh, I love your pretty hand, sweetheart,” he says. “You know exactly how to turn me on.”

  Jane is surprised and glad she’s made him feel this good. She was always nervous that a man would think she was boring and lame.

  He takes his hand off and she keeps going. Brad lays back in the bath, soaking in the pleasure. He’s still holding her ass, squeezing it more and more the deeper the pleasure he feels.

  “Fuck, Jane, you are so hot. Keep giving it to me, princess,” Brad groans.

  Jane strokes him faster and harder.

  Brad reaches down to her pussy, gently places his two fingers inside, and pushes in and out slowly. Jane screams with pleasure.

  “Oh, Brad, I fucking love you. Your… fingers… oh my God… they feel sooooo...” She bites his neck trying to contain herself.

  Brad looks into her eyes. “Jane, I love you so much. I really want you to get on top of me right now. I want to give you the best night of your life.”

  “I want you, too.

  He grabs her hips and lifts her up onto his cock, positioning her opening on the edge of it.

  “Now baby, don’t worry. I’m not going to hurt you. We’ll take this as slow as you need, okay?” Brad reassures.

  “Okay. I trust you, Brad.”

  “Good.”

  He feels her pussy tighten over his cock, and he knows she wants him. He pushes her hips down a little bit more, and he can feel he’s inside of her a bit.

  “Mmmm… that’s a bit tight, but I like it,” she smiles.

  “Just relax, my dear. You’re doing great.”

  He sucks on her tits, and it opens her up even more. She immediately slides down onto his cock. They stay there and look into each other’s eyes.

  “Oh my God, Brad, you feel amazing inside of me. I’ve never felt like this before.”

  “Me, too, Jane. You are so delicate on top of me.”

  He slightly moves her hips in circles, rubbing her clit against his pubic bone.

  Jane moans and puts her head back. Electricity shoots through her body.

  “Give me more, Brad, I want more of you.”

  He rubs her faster around his cock and lifts her hips up and down, getting her all excited. She has no idea what’s happening to her body. She feels out of control.

  He licks her nipples and sucks them for so long, and she keeps getting more and more excited.

  “Oh my God. Oh my God. What is happening? I’m losing my mind,” she says out loud.

  “You’re such a fucking hot, gorgeous babe, Jane. I love how you fuck me.”

  Suds a
re splashing everywhere, and Jane’s body goes wild.

  “Give it to me, Jane. Let go. Come all over my cock, you bad, naughty girl.”

  Just as he said that, Jane lets go and experiences an orgasm throughout her whole body—her tits shaking, her body gyrating, and her pussy tightening more and more.

  “That’s a girl, keep it coming. You turn me on so much, you skanky girl,” Brad says, smacking her ass lightly and then rubbing it.

  Brad’s cock gets thicker and thicker. He moves Jane faster and faster up and down. He explodes inside of her, and Jane can feel his come dripping through her.

  “Uhhhhhhhhh… you are killing me, Jane. I love it. You are the hottest woman I’ve ever met. Keep fucking me. Oh, God, yeah...” Brad moans.

  Jane moves his hands from her hips and takes over, bouncing up and down on him and giving him exactly what he wants. She has lost all inhibitions and wants his come to keep squirting inside her.

  She gets excited again and rubs her clit all around him, getting herself horny and feeling another orgasm coming.

  “I could fuck you forever, Brad Halliwell. I want your cock so badly.”

  Brad loves how she takes control of him and satisfies herself. She is a wild tiger in hiding.

  “I knew you had such a naughty girl inside of you, Jane. I adore it,” Brad says, encouraging her to come again.

  He pulls her off his cock and has her lay back on the other side of the bath.

  “Here, take it easy. Let me do all the work now,” he says.

  He reaches down, sticks three fingers inside her, and pushes in and out quickly.

  “You’re such a naughty, slutty, princess, Ms. Bryden. I’ve got to make sure I keep you satisfied so some other man doesn’t take you from me.”

  Brad uses his other hand to rub her clit, and pulses the one inside her back and forth. Her thighs widen, and she feels so at ease, taking him in and letting him take control of her body.

  She leans back while her pussy tightens and opens, tightens and opens, and then releases her juices all over his fingers. She scratches his back with her fingernails and screams out loud while she orgasms.

  “Ahhhhhhhhhh…”

  “God, you’re so wild, Jane. I love it.”

  She releases, he pulls his fingers out of her, and they lay beside each other in the bath. She puts her head on his chest, and he strokes her hair.
