Imperatrix

chapter 39

“I’m hungry,” Jack said as she rolled off Harry. He chuckled and got up to wear his shorts. He picked up his t-shirt and threw it on her face.

“Come on let’s go get some food in you,” he said and walked out of the room. She wore the t-shirt and took a minute to inhale his scent. She grabbed his pillow and held it tightly. After they returned from Hong Kong, she’d kinda taken a little break. To give him some space.

The space hadn’t been up to three weeks and she was running back. Like a starved woman.

“God, what have I turned to?” she asked herself as she knelt on the bed and grabbed her phone from the night stand. It was mine already.

She washed her face in the bathroom before joining him in the kitchen. He had whipped up a sandwich. She jumped on the island counter as she took the plate from him.

“You’re not having any?” she asked as she took a bite.

“No,” he said and stood between her legs as she finished eating.

“That was nice,” she said with a smirk as she lay back on the counter and stretched her hands above her head. He grabbed her thighs and placed them around his torso.

“Aren’t you satisfied?” she asked laughing when he began kissing her stomach.

“Never,” he murmured as he placed his head under her shirt.

“Then that means I suck at sex.”

He pulled back and looked at her, “No, it means I can never get enough of you. You were gone for two weeks, I was bound to miss you,” he said seriously.

Jack grinned as she raised herself up and wrapped her arms around his neck kissing his chin softly, “You can be so sweet sometimes. I can never get enough of you too.”

Harry grinned and kissed down her neck making her moan and throw her head back.

“Anna I…”

“Wait, shut up,” Jack whispered as she pulled back.

“Wh …”

“Ssh,” she said placing a hand over his mouth as she narrowed her eyes and listened intently. She had heard something. Harry looked at her confused.

Suddenly a glass broke in the living room as something was thrown in. They froze upon hearing the thing land and roll. Jack looked back and saw the thing stop rolling in the doorway. She instantly panicked.

“Harry get down!” Jack yelled pushing him to the floor and running to close the door connecting the living room and kitchen.

“Wh ...”

Then she ran back around the counter and tackled Harry to the floor using her body to shield his as they hid behind the counter.

Just then, there was a loud explosion.

•°•°•°•

Jack groaned as she rolled off a stunned Harry. Her ears were ringing from the explosion. Splinters of wood flew around them. She coughed as she staggered to her feet. She wheezed as she took a step forward.

“Oh my God.”

The door was nothing but a mess of burning splintered wood on the floor. The counter that they had hidden behind was only half destroyed.

Behind her, she heard Harry groan as he sat up holding his hands to his ears. His eyes were tightly closed.

“Harry, are you alright?” she asked as she crouched down beside him.
