Chapter 26
“Jen? Jen? Wake up.” Sprawled across Rob’s body, I opened my eyes and with a shock reminiscent to plunging into a pool of ice-water, I realized I was also human and naked.
Blushing furiously, I pushed away. “Oh, Oh Crap, I’m sorry.”
Then Rob’s face turned a few shades of red. “Jen, I thought you liked me. I wouldn’t have suggested this otherwise. I never thought you'd change back.”
I was still close enough and the sorrow in his eyes, and the longing in my soul sent me plunging into deep waters again. Touching his cheek lightly, I leaned into Rob and kissed him, my first real kiss. I mean my first adult one where I knew what I wanted. “I do like you. I like you a lot.”
It was then that I knew I was hooked…and maybe he was, too. He kissed back, tentatively, gently. Not the hungry way I saw him kiss his office tryst last month. He blinked and smiled, his hand caressing my hair. “We’ll take it slow.”
I kissed him, putting all of my love into it. I knew then that he genuinely cared for me.
I eased away feeling awkward warmth, and I couldn’t help but think that we were starting something that would last. Yes, like every woman, I had flaws, but they were mine, and I loved them.
