Page 56 of Stolen Kiss

He grinned at her and then kissed her forehead.

She moved out of his arms and took a step back. Jason moved to the side, hoping his erection wasn’t too obvious. Shecollected the wrappers from her lunch and tossed them into the bin.

“I’ll see you later,” she said, going on tip toes to kiss his lips.

“You will.”

When he watched her go, he idly wondered if he should go back to Mrs Diamond’s place to get the ring.

Shaking his head, he thought it was too soon. He didn’t want to spook her just yet.

Chapter Eighteen

Heidi

Getting a surprise visit from Jason was the best thing to happen to Heidi for a hell of a long time but that was soon surpassed when she put her key in her front door, opened it, to be hit by delicious smells.

Her stomach agreed and growled its approval.

Jason was already in her kitchen cooking her dinner. It was the sexiest thing in the world.

She hung up her keys, coat and bag and then kicked off her clogs, flexing her toes to rid the ache of being on her feet all day with house visits. They were all in the town centre so she’d walked to all the houses.

Walking through her living room and then into the kitchen she then sighed at the sight of Jason’s broad back shifting from side to side and he mixed something in a bowl. A bowl that wasn’t hers. The radio was on but a low volume so he turned when she stepped down into the galley kitchen.

When he turned he gave her a sexy smile and took a long look at her. She wanted to shower to wash off her day, but he was looking like he wanted to eat her.

“Hey,” she said taking another step towards him.

“Hey,” he replied and dropped a kiss on her lips. “I hope you don’t mind, Freya let me in when she got home.”

“If the smells coming from this tiny kitchen are anything to go by, I don’t mind at all. Have I got time for a shower?”

“Yeah, dinner will be ready in about half an hour.”

“I’ll only need fifteen,” she said and hurried away before she put the bowl aside and jumped into his arms.

He gave her a smirk before she left. Had he read her expression or worse still her mind?

Wasting no time, she showered and changed, putting her hair up in a messy bun that was loose enough to dry but neat enough not look like she’d just woken up. Not wanting to make any presumption she dressed in jeans and a t-shirt with sensible underwear.

If he got as far as seeing her panties she hoped he didn’t care that they weren’t fancy.

Walking back into the kitchen, she rested her shoulder against the door frame and watched him work. Jason looked very comfortable in her kitchen and she liked it.

A lot.

Finding out that he hadn’t dumped her all those years ago was great news. The fact that he didn’t fight for her had been on her mind for the last couple of days. She didn’t want to confront him because she was afraid of the answer. During her afternoon break, she’d casually quizzed one of the other nurses who specialised in suppressed memories to see if there was any way she could dredge up the reason Keith had given her for Jason not wanting to see her again.

Her eyes lit up when he brought out a casserole dish from the oven with bubbling sauce. She spied onions and sausages and her belly growled again. Jason gave her a side glance and grinned.

“Hungry?”

“Starving. I’ve walked for miles today.”

“How are all your mums?”

She loved that he cared about her day.
