Second Chances

Chapter 21: Together

Kenna

    We drove to house in silence. My heart thundered in my ears as I still tried to catch my breath. I could tell he was doing the same thing. When we pulled up to the house, neither of us moved at first. I was desperate to know what was going on his mind but now wasn't the time.
    "I'm gonna go inside. I wanna get out of this dress." I said as I jumped out of the jeep and practically ran inside. I couldn't get my heart to stop pounding. I ran into my room and closed the door. I could hear him walk to his room but he didn't close the door. I took off my shoes and started pacing back and forth. After several agonizing minutes, I made up my mind that I was going to do something stupid. I slung open my door, intending to go to his room but he was already there.
    He had both hands on the door frames and was standing there as if he were deciding to knock. We stood there staring at each other for what felt like eternity. Then he moved. He put his hands on either sides of my face as his lips met mine. I fisted my hands in his shirt, trying to pull him even closer. It was as if electricity hummed between us. The kissing turned frenzied and I hurried to undo the buttons of his shirt. Once the last button was undone, I yanked his shirt off.
    He pulled back and turned me around. His movements slowed as he moved my hair to the side and pulled the zipper of the dress down. I felt his lips on my neck and moaned softly. Once the zipper was down, he pulled the dress down agonizingly slow. His fingertips brushing my skin as he pulled it down. He kissed from my neck down my spine, following the dress. My skin felt like it was on fire. The dress finally fit the floor and I stepped out of it. At the same time, he stood up and was back in front of me. His face collided with mine, both of us hungry for more. In a swift motion, he picked me up, wrapping my legs around him. He laid us down on the bed and pulled back.
"Are you sure?" He asked quietly.
"Please." I practically whimpered. He smiled and brought his lips back to mine. This time, he didn't stop.

I woke up the next morning tangled up in Jack's arms. I smiled to myself as I replayed the events of last night. I sighed and snuggled closer to him. This made him tighten his arms around me and wake up.
"Morning." He mumbled, still half asleep.
"Hmm." Was all I said.
"How are you feeling?" He asked. His voice a little clearer now.
"Really good." I said, pulling back to look him. "How about you?"
"Better than good." He said with a smile. He leaned over me and kissed me deeply. "Come on. I'll fix you breakfast."
I smiled as he stood up. He picked up his dress shirt from the night before and tossed it to me. I watched every move he made as he pulled his boxers on. When I looked back his face, he winked at me and walked out. I sighed, wondering which moment it was that I fell in love with him.
