Great, just what I needed.

One more.

Picking one of the bigger pebbles, I toss it at the window just as the curtain is pulled open, and Jade’s face peeks at me.

She shakes her head but lifts the window open, leaning against it just like she did a few months ago. “Seriously? Are we back to this again?”

I grin up at her. “It seemed more fitting.”

“More fitting for what?”

I grab the ladder by the side of her wall and start to climb up. “For the surprise I have in store for you.”

“It seemed more fitting to steal me through my window?”

She moves so I can hoist myself up. “To pick you up.” I brush my hands against the sides of my legs. “Just like the good ol’ times.”

“You’re weird, Wentworth.”

Jade starts to walk away, but I slide my hand around her waist, pulling her to me. “Yeah, but you still love me.”

Her fingers press against my chest as she looks up at me. She’s lost more weight in recent weeks, but that smile is still on her face as she watches me.

She jabs her finger into my chest. “You should consider yourself lucky.”

“I do.” Leaning down, I press my mouth against hers.

What started off as a slow kiss soon turned frantic. Jade tugs me closer, her body brushing against mine as I lower my hand to the small of her back, my tongue slipping into her mouth.

She moans softly, snapping me out of my head. With one final swipe of my mouth against hers, I reluctantly pull back. “Surprise first.”

Jade lets out a frustrated huff. “Can’t it wait? We were just in the middle of something here.”

Her cheeks are flushed, lips pursed in displeasure. I would find it cute if my cock wasn’t throbbing in protest. We haven’t had sex in weeks, not since that time, just after she took her drains out; between everything that was going on, there just wasn’t time. Plus, I meant what I said. She needed time to heal properly. What she was going through wasn’t easy by any means. And then we broke up.

“Is it me? I mean, I know I’m not what I—”

I press my finger against her lips, stopping her from finishing that sentence. “You’re perfect, Jade. So fucking perfect, and I can show you just how much later on, but we really need to leave now.” I push her toward the door. “C’mon, let’s grab your jacket.”

She looks over her shoulder. “We’re going out? I should put on some—”

“Jacket,” I finish for her. “You really need to put on a jacket.”

She crosses her arms over her chest and huffs as I continue pushing her down the hallway. “Some makeup would be nice too. I look like a ghost.”

“One sexy ass ghost.”

Grabbing her jacket from the hook, I hold it open for her as she slides her hands inside, and I zip her all the way up, taking her hand in mine as I open the front door. “Let’s go.”

We descend the stairs and get out before I cover her eyes with my hands.

“What are you doing?” Jade’s hands cover mine, but I don’t let her push me away.

“Surprising you.”

“Really? You know, I’m not a fan of surprises.”

“You’re not?” I ask, not making any attempt to move my hands from her face as I guide her.
