Bound To You

Chapter 5

When Jess woke up he freshened up himself, his reflection in the mirror showed his radiant face. Despite his death nearing, he looked as if he got a new life.

Yesterday was indeed a bliss on earth. Despite the many people Jess met in his life, he had never met a guy as cute as Jake who was extremely suitable as a lover, young and handsome and had a fine sense of humor. Jake made everyone who talked to him happy.

And Jess knew that it wouldn't take a moment for him to be charmed by this guy. Indeed, Jake was very good in bed and highly professional, but what really attracted Jess to him was the life he used to yearn for, one that defies rules.

Jess left in a rush and only brought his old clothes. He wore his shirt and put back his suit, together with his glasses he looked aloof and collected.

Jake also changed into a new pair set of clean clothes he got his assistant to bring over just now. His assistant thought he remembered the room number wrongly while Jess thought it was room service. Jake still dressed young in jeans, a black t-shirt and a leather jacket with leather gloves.

Jake sat at the edge of the bed and like a big golden retriever, he asked excitedly, “Where are we going?

Jess was stumped. “Erm… You provide a high-class escort service, right?” Jake is a professional, so he should know more fun things than him.

Determined, Jess gave Jake another card, casting aside all restraint and said, “There’s 500 thousand dollars in there. You can arrange, just make sure I’ll have a good time. I’ll cover the expenses.”

Who would have thought that the old him was someone who would specially wait till 8 o’clock before he start shopping for groceries just to save a few cents?

Jake looked at the card Jess handled over and raised his eyebrow before taking it. “You trust me so much and aren’t afraid I will run with your money?”

Jess fearlessly thought, I’m about to die, so there will be nothing worse than that. He laughed and didn’t give a definite answer. “I’m not afraid, I still have 200 thousand dollars left. I want to go for skydiving. Do you know where we can do that?”

He just wants to go all mad before he dies!

Jake laughed heartily, pulling Jess hand and said happily, “Alright, I know where we can do that. I’ll bring you there.”

They checked out of the hotel and left. Jess initially wanted to drive the car but was suddenly curious when he saw Jake holding a very cool-looking helmet. “You rode a motorbike here?”

Jake nodded. “Yeah.”

How interesting! Jess had never ridden a motorbike as he was afraid of the dangers, but he was very eager to try it now. “Bring me around on it.”

When Jess saw Jake’s bike, even though he didn’t know much about motorbikes, he liked it at first glance. Jake’s bike was the type that anyone could tell was a good one even if they weren’t familiar with motorbikes, like those in science fiction books. It had three colours, silver, blue and black and was smoothly shaped. Men’s true love is a car!! Jess eyes brightened up.

Jake crossed his long leg over and sat on the motorbike. And when Jess saw how Jake looked sitting in his motorbike, he almost got hard at that moment.

Jake saw Jess staring at him with those bright eyes and he can't help but filled up with pride. It wasn’t that he was not looked at with admiration before but only Jess made him feel different.

“Can I touch it?” Jess asked enthusiastically.

Jake replied with a smile, “You can touch me any way you like too.”

Jess ignored Jake’s dirty joke and touched his motorbike instead, while commenting, “This bike looks quite expensive. It cost about 200 to 300 thousand dollars, right?” No doubt he’s No.1, if he can make so much money.

That was not even it. This bike was handmade and tailored by professional technicians and their company only manufactures around twenty motorbikes every year. He spent more than 5 million dollars, paid the deposit and waited in queue for two years before he got the bike, the one and only one in the world.

Jake treasured it so much and never agreed whenever his friends asked to borrow it, not even letting them touch it. “Do you want to try riding it?”

Jess nodded. “Okay!”

“I’ll find you a helmet.”

“I don’t want to wear a helmet. Give me a ride now!” Jess ordered, feeling rebellious.

Jake laughed and shook his head, putting on his helmet for Jess. “Then you can wear mine.”

Jess held onto the helmet and froze on the spot. Never had anyone treated him so gently. “Then… It’s better to find another helmet.”

Jake stepped away to make a call and shortly after, someone brought a helmet over.

“So fast?”

Jake didn’t even blush as he boasted, “Of course, I’m a professional, high-class escort.”

This motorbike had no backseat, so Jess sat in front.

Jake reached out his arm and brought Jess into his embrace. Jess back was against Jake’s chest due to the lack of space since the younger had to bend down as he rode.

“Are you ready?”

“Let’s leave now, bring me along.”

Jake started the motorbike and the engine sounded like a trumpet, making a loud and clear sound that was very pleasing to the ears.

The winter wind was still quite chilling. Jess wore the helmet, but the cool air still entered the gaps between his clothes. Even though it was very cold, he felt his blood getting heated up in excitement.

Jake was driving at a high speed. Jess didn’t know the exact speed but other than on the expressway, he had never ridden a car as fast as this. For cars, the metal protects humans while for motobikes, humans protect the metal. It was as though he was teetering on the brink of death.

Furthermore, Jake even started speeding up. It's too thrilling! Jess heart was beating so quickly it almost jumped out from his throat!

And Jess realised that he was not scared at all. Why should he be scared? He is about to die, so even if an accident happens, his death is merely taking place slightly earlier.

Jake got away from the city and drove to a more deserted suburb where the roads were lined with lush forests. Jess stupidly started shouting. Shouting and shouting, and then later on his shouting finally became a full blown laughter. “Ah!!!! Hahahahahaha!!!”

Jess wondered why, but right now, he felt very happy, as though he had thrown all of his cowardice and aggrievance to the back of his mind. He felt free.

It was very windy and with their helmets on, Jake shouted, “Are you happy!!”

“Yes!!!!!”

They finally reached their destination.

It looked like some sort of base.

Getting off the bike, Jess told Jake “Even though I am very happy, speeding is still not that safe. Your demerit points will be deducted if the traffic police catch you.”

Jake was amused. “I wasn’t speeding, it was within the acceptable range. I’m very obedient.”

“You didn’t exceed the speed limit?” Jess asked foolishly.

“I really didn’t. It’s probably just more exciting riding a motorbike at the same speed.”

A small plane was waiting for them.

“?”

Jake held Jess hand and pulled him over. “You said you wanted to skydive. I made the arrangements already.”

Jess was surprised, complimenting Jake, “So fast? No wonder you’re a professional!”

Jake replied humbly, “It wasn’t a big deal.”

They got into the appropriate attire for skydiving and wore the windproof goggles. Since Jess was short-sighted, the lens was changed on the spot for him.

Jess sighed, you can really buy anything with money.

Jess had never gone for skydiving, so Jake went with him for tandem skydiving, both of them tied together using the metal buckles with Jake in charge of control. Jake was in front of him again. They sat in the cabin, waiting until they were at a high enough height.

Then the plane took off.

They reached the height to jump off.

The cabin door opened. Jess looked down and realized it was so high that he was starting to get dizzy. He couldn’t help but subconsciously grow fearful as his legs started trembling.

Jake held Jess hand. “If you’re afraid, we don’t have to jump.”

Jake gritted his teeth. “I’ll jump! …You must hold on to me tightly!”

Jake hugged Jess and kissed him on the cheek. “Okay.”

Jess turned sideways to look at Jake. “???” Why did he suddenly kiss him?

Just when Jess was about to ask, Jake suddenly pulled him in a tight hug and jumped, catching him off guard.

Jess screamed.

The wind blew sharply at them like flying daggers.

They held on to each other and fell at a high speed. Jake smiled and shouted, “I’m holding on to you!!!”

Jess shouted back, “Stop hugging me!!! Just open the damn parachute!!!!!”

Seeing how cute Jess right now, Jake can't help but laugh hard. The guy is so endearing he can't help himself. “Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!”
