Chapter 7 Vignette 7

"...happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you," Clara blew the candle after the blending voices of her mom, dad and Jaden ended.

Jaden stood silent at one corner as Clara's parents expressed their excitement for their daughter's new age. Excitement boiled within him but he knew he had to wait for the mini party to end before he would be allowed to take Clara with him.

Clara's mom lovingly fed Clara a bit of cake, "Happy birthday my darling,"

"Thanks mom,"

Clara's dad beckoned Clara forward, "Congrats on reaching the threshold of adulthood, my little princess."

Clara tucked herself in a warm hug with her dad, "Thank you so much, dad,"

"I believe the time is right to take Clara out." Jaden's voice came in.

"What time will you bring her back?" Clara's mom asked,

"Nothing earlier than 2 am. Or we could maybe return by dawn."

"What? Clara won't be staying out till midnight."

"Mom but I'm not a child anymore." Clara said and turned to her dad. "Dad please convince mom that I can handle late nights."

"Honey, I think we should learn to give Clara some freedom. She needs her own experience."

"Fine, but Jaden you have a huge responsibility to take care of her. You know she is all that we have."

"Sure, auntie," Jaden said, "Come on, let's go, Clara,"

Jaden led Clara to his car outside the house. It was a sleek black Nissan GT-R, well maintained and suitable for wealthy young men like him. He courteously opened the passenger's door for Clara, then he edged behind the wheel and drove off while Clara waved at her parents who stood at the doorpost, watching their only child go out with a man for the first time.

Clara had always been their lovely child who was found only among female company but now she was going out with a man at night. It was difficult to finally let her spread her wings but they knew she cannot be their little princess forever. Another factor was that Jaden had gained so much trust in their eyes after he saved Clara from a posse of hoodlums some weeks before. The occasion of saving Clara from the hoodlums was their first meeting and since then, Jaden had not only been close to Clara, he had also been close to her parents.

Jaden pulled up at the entrance of the sophisticated compound of one of the most popular hotels in the area. After a few security checks at the security post, he drove in and parked his car in the parking lot.

They made their way into the main building where the receptionist handed them the key card to the hotel room. Going through the elevator, they emerged at the third floor and stopped in front of a grey solid core wooden door. With the key card granting them access, they entered into the sophisticated intimate space of the room And Clara was taken aback by Jaden's thoughtfulness to specially order a decoration of the room. It was dimly lit with candle lights, roses on the bed, and the sweet scent of flowers filled her senses. The sound of slow music in the background topped off the feeling of a night filled with endless possibilities.

"I hope you're impressed," asked Jaden.

"Are you kidding me? I love this space. Thank you so much, Jaden." Clara said as she gave him a tight hug.

Jaden sat on the sofa, "I knew you'd like it. Come here and sit beside me."

Jaden took the bottle of wine on the table in front of the sofa, he popped it and poured some of its contents into two glasses. After sipping their drink, Jaden went over to the speakers, increased its volume and took Clara's hand. With Clara's hand on his chest and his hands on her waist, they began moving slowly to the rhythm of the slow music.

"I'm so glad you finally turned 18. The age we've all been waiting for." Jaden's voice was low and charming.

Clara chuckled, "I'm just as happy, Jaden."

"And I hope you'll give me a title in your life tonight."

Clara's eyes were fixed on Jaden's and she was silent for a few moments. Then she broke the suspense, "boyfriend, officially: that's your new title."

A little more and Jaden's smile would hit his ear. He felt speechless evendow he had expected her to say yes. "I love you so much, Clara." Jaden said, squeezing her in his huge arms. "Come here, it's time for your birthday present."

Clara clenched her jaws in excitement as she walked behind him to the bed. He took out a gift box from beside it and handed them to her. Jaden observed the mesmerized look on her face as she unwrapped the set of gold jewelry.

"Oh my God, Jaden, this must be very expensive." Clara exclaimed.

"You're worth more than that, Clara."

Clara's face was etched with emotions, "you're the best!" She said as she hugged him briefly and started testing out the jewelry. Jaden took out a bouquet of money folding one-hundred dollar bills. The currencies were spotless and whoever designed it did it with so much expertise.

Clara's jaw dropped and her brows raised. "Happy eighteenth birthday, Clara." Jaden said, handing her the money bouquet.

Clara's eyes were fixed on the mint as she took them from him. Tears welled up in her eyes and she raised her heels and wrapped her hand around Jaden's neck.

"Don't cry yet, Darling. if expensive gifts make you cry then you'll just have to shed tears everyday of our relationship."

Clara looked at Jaden's dark brown eyes, their faces were inches apart, "I can't love you less, Jaden," her lips whispered against his.

Jaden pressed his mouth to hers, softly. "And I love you more,"

The sensation of Jaden's lips on Clara's was a slow, sweet burn. As she shut her eyes she felt the tender tingling spread from her lips to her soul and she didn't realize when she dropped the bouquet. The pace of the kiss increased as Jaden led her to the bed.

They kissed for several moments before breaking apart for air. Lying side by side and staring passionately at each other, Jaden reached for Clara's zipline at the back of her sequin dress. His eyes never left hers as he pulled down the single strap from her shoulders. Clara had only worn a lightweight bra under the heavy sequin dress.

"I like what I'm seeing," Jaden whispered while Clara's lips let out a cute smile.

The room fell silent with only the sound of slow music and their heavy breath. "Can I?" Jaden asked and Clara nodded.

Jaden's hand caressed her skin as he trailed it from her toned midriff and slid it under her bra. His hands on her br**st made her breathe in deeply, enjoying the gentle squeeze.

As he played with her n**ples, he asked, "Do you feel anything down there?" Clara nodded.

"Are you ready for it?"

"Yes, please," Clara said and stood on the bed. She pulled off her dress completely and laid on Jaden who was now laying face-up.

Her tongue brushed against his lips with a gentle whisper, "I want you, Jaden." Jaden's hands pressed her a*s as he returned the kiss and he turned her over with their lips still glued. Pulling off his trousers, he finally revealed his hard d**k that had been hidden under the plain tailored trouser.

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" Jaden asked again but Clara's answer remained unchanged.

"I'm ready as long as you're the one to break it."

Jaden then pulled down her pant and leaned in between her legs, giving her another kiss. "You ready now?" He asked again.

"Yes, Jaden, go in already." She said, her voice a testament to her longing.

Jaden applied some lubrications on her p**sy and slowly gently, his tip penetrated. As he gradually increased the depth and pressure, Clara winced in pain. She felt a mix of pleasure and pain but the pleasure was winning over.

As Jaden continued thrusting in, the pain began to subside and Clara found herself moaning. Jaden noticed her new pleasure and he increased his pace, thrusting in and out rapidly.

Then Jaden laid on the bed and Clara sat on his d"*k, riding it like she was some expert. Jaden was impressed by her ability and he didn't realize when he started moaning.

Minutes went by, their moans filled the room and Jaden's cum filled Clara's p**sy.

Clara stood up from his satisfied d**k and laid beside him. Her head on his chest and one had gently rubbed the d**k that was covered in her juices.

"I hope I don't get pregnant," she said,

Jaden cupped her in the crook of his hand.

"We'll take care of that in the morning. For now you need to sleep now."

They laid silently for moments till their eyes succumbed to exhaustion and they drifted off to sleep.
