And then he moved inside her again, sliding in and out driving her higher. This time was quick, hard and a different kind of rush.
Later when they were lying in the moonlight, Heidi turned on her side. He’d proclaimed his love for her, declared that they were it forever. But she didn’t know if she was staying or needed to go home to her own bed.
“What’s wrong?” he said sleepily.
“How did you know something is wrong?”
“You stiffened and took a long breath in. You used to do that before when you wanted to ask an awkward question.”
“What are we doing?”
“I thought I’d covered that.”
“No, I mean tonight, what are we doing? Am I staying or do you want me to go home.”
“I’d like you to move in,” he replied.
“Jason,” she said on a gasp.
He turned on his side and faced her.
“I know I’m jumping ahead, but I mean it. I’d want nothing more than to come home and see you in the living room relaxing. Or for me to pick you up in the buggy from work and bring you home. But tonight? I want you to stay. I’ll take you back to your home early tomorrow morning so you can get ready for work if you will stay.”
“Um,” she said, embarrassed that she was presumptuous about staying. Even though she now knew she was staying.
He laughed and cupped her cheek. “What’s got you nervous, sweetheart. Do you want me to take you back now?”
“I brought a bag,” she blurted. “Erica said to, just in case.”
“Remind me to make Erica her favourite cake when I see her next. Where is it?”
“In the buggy.”
“I’ll be right back.”
He flung the covers back and got out of bed, swiping up his jeans as he walked out of the room. She sighed at the sight of his strong body that had rocked her world leave. Falling back into the pillows she came back up when he walked through the door less than a minute later.
“Wow, you’re quick,” Heidi said.
“It was just inside the back door. Looks like Archer and Erica have a lot of faith in us.”
She knew what he wasn’t saying. That she should have faith too. Until she talked to her brother, she wouldn’t be able to fully relax into her future with Jason Turner and his overbearing aunt.
Freya was the only person who knew she had a summer fling with Jason. No one else, she thought, had any idea. But now that she found out her brother and Jason’s aunt knew, did everyone know? Hoping the answer to that question was no, she settled back into Jason’s bed and cuddled close.
“Would you make me my favourite cake?”
“Any time you want. What is it?”
“I don’t know. I’ll let you know.”
Jason laughed and kissed her forehead.
“Whenever you’re ready.”
Again she knew there were two meanings to what he was saying, but he’d given her two orgasms and she was fighting to stay awake.
