“Of course, Jennie. I promise.” He paused, then grinned at her, knowing he needed to take the edge off and make her smile. “I won’t tell anyone about your vibrating panties.”
“Gah! You...you...” She threw a flip flop at him and stomped off to the shower. But at least she was laughing. That’s all Chad could hope for now.
Chapter 16
They were almost at the end of their two weeks. Just four more nights. Kelly had called the day before and, so far, her doctor wasn’t predicting delivery any time soon. Even though Jack had said he had a jet standing by for them, Jennie still worried about Kelly delivering the baby before they got home.
She and Chad had become closer than ever, which was nice in some ways, but it did make resisting the pull of their sexual attraction a lot harder. They’d only held hands or danced a bit in public to keep up the pretense of being a happily married couple. But, even that little bit of closeness had Jennie tense and uneasy. Her body cried out for Chad with everything in it and she felt more than physical attraction at this point, but her heart also ached with every pull.
And Jennie was utterly exhausted from trying to fight it. She sat on the edge of the bed while Chad showered. And she did something she hadn’t done in a long time. She talked to Kyle. Not out loud. Only in her head. She needed him to know.
Please, Kyle. Please forgive me for this. I just want one night to forget. One night to not feel like I’ve been torn in half. To not remember. Just one night.
She took a deep breath and looked at the door to the bathroom and stood, pulling off her robe and letting it drop to the floor. She pushed open the door and stepped into the steamy room.
She knew Chad heard her. His back tensed right away and his hands stilled. He lowered his head and waited, and she wondered what thoughts would go through his head.
She slipped into the shower in front of him, turning as she did so she could see his face. He watched her so warily, holding his hands still. Not touching her or reaching for her.
She placed her palms flat on his chest and felt the sharp inhale of his breath. She looked up at him, thankful for the water that streamed over them. She didn’t want him to see her tears as she let her hands slip over the slick warmth of his skin.
“Make me forget, Chad. For one night. Please? Make me forget.”
He looked down at her, eyes blazing with heat, but also sadness. She didn’t want him to be sad for her and she didn’t want to make him sad. But, she couldn’t walk away anymore. She just couldn’t fight what was happening between them any longer.
As Chad looked down at Jennie, he knew he should walk away. Say no and leave it alone. But he couldn’t do that. He’d lost all his strength to fight this attraction and he didn’t want to walk away. He didn’t want to fight it.
He wanted her so badly, all he could think about was what she would taste like. What she would feel like, her soft body against his. The way she would feel when she wrapped her legs around him.
The way he could make her feel, make her squirm and cry out for him. What it would feel like to bury himself, to sink into the wet heat of her body and lose himself in the way she felt.
His mind had been scrambled since they got on the plane for Florida and it had taken everything he had in him to fight it the last ten days. With her here, asking him to touch her, he didn’t want to try to fight this anymore.
If he only got this one night, then so be it. He’d take one night if that’s all she could give him.
“Are you sure, Jennie? We can’t take this back if we do this.”
She nodded.
He leaned down and trapped her, arms on either side of her against the wall of the shower as his heart pounded in his chest. He was so close to what he’d wanted for so long, but he had to be sure she truly wanted this.
“Say it. Tell me you want this,” he said softly. Urgently. He could hear the need in his own voice and he could see a matching need in her eyes.
“I want this, Chad. For one night, I want this.” Her voice didn’t falter or waiver.
It was like unleashing a force he could no longer control. He leaned in and kissed her sweet, succulent mouth as he pressed her against the wall of the shower with his body and took what he had needed for so long.
He knew he shouldn’t. It was the most selfish, heartless thing he'd ever done, but he was defenseless against Jennie’s power.
He ignored the fact that she still loved her husband, that she hadn’t healed from the wounds his death had left and he took her.
Chad swept his tongue inside her mouth in a forceful, needy move. She met him with as much heat and desire and passion.
He lifted her, holding her on one of his thighs as he moved his mouth to her neck. He brushed his lips across her soft skin, taking in the sweet, silky feel of her. Breathing in that scent that was innately Jennie.
One hand closed on her breast as his mouth moved to capture the other one, covering her nipple. Jennie held the back of his head tight, pressing him to her as she arched her back and moaned. The sound hit him hard, going right to his already rock-hard cock.
Her nipples pebbled for him as he let his tongue swirl around them, grazing them with his teeth from time to time as she writhed in his arms. He’d never in his life experienced anything like the feel of Jennie in his arms.
