“Revenge?” he asks, looking shocked.
“Duh…”
His hand grips the back of my neck and he moves in closer until the tips of our noses are touching.
“Please talk to me.”
I gulp down a swallow. “It was so embarrassing, Jase.”
“Bailey, it was unbearably fucking beautiful to have you rubbing yourself on me, hearing those sounds from your lips, smelling you while getting the chance to hold you while you came. And then you falling asleep on me afterwards? That sleep on that old couch, us all cramped up like that? Best sleep I’ve had in weeks.”
I blink a couple times as I absorb his words.
“I made a mess on you,” I say, gesturing to him. He’s still in the jeans and t-shirt he wore last night.
“Twice,” I add, feeling my face heat up.
He smiles wide, with dimples. “I made a mess of my own.”
I frown. What?
“You did?”
“Oh yeah,” he says low and seductively. “That was fire, baby.”
“It was?”
He made a mess, too?
“And I didn’t get to watch? I had my face buried in your neck and I missed it?”
He laughs, and before I get a chance to be offended by the laughter, he’s kissing me.
Jason is kissing me!
He’s still laughing a little while his mouth moves over mine. His phone is ringing and he’s ignoring it.
I’m just about to start kissing him back, but the phone has started up again and now he’s pulling back.
Well, that was highly effective in rendering me speechless.
My lips are tingling as he moves me to the cushion beside him before rising to fish his phone out of his jeans.
“Sorry, I can feel something. This is urgent.” He taps his chest to illustrate it’s his council connection as he answers his phone, greeting, “Hey Joel.”
He’s immediately pacing while listening to Joel.
“You’re fuckin’ kidding me,” he says, concerned. “I didn’t feel it. I’m on my way.”
He stuffs his phone into his pocket and says, “Sherry’s hurt. Gotta get to the clinic.”
“What happened?” I ask.
“She jumped from the back of the falls and hit the rocks.”
“Is she okay?”
“She’s unconscious. We’ll continue this conversation, but you understand where I was at last night?”
