Arresting Love (A Sequel to 'A Bite of Candy Apple' ; Sam's Forbidden Love)

Chapter Sixteen: Hang On

Chapter Sixteen: Hang On

Sam awoke the next morning with a heavy weight on her body. Jack’s well-muscled limbs were slung over her. Sam winced at the memory of their encounter last night. They had sex all night long, and the evidence was in her aching muscles and sticky womanhood.

Regret ricochet through her mind, like a bullet. She promised herself she would not have sex with him again; however, whenever she was within ten feet of this man, she could not stop herself. He was like a drug, addictive and deadly.

With care, she slipped out from beneath his tempting body and looked for her clothing. It took but a moment for the realization to dawn on her that her ‘clothing’ was her burlesque costume and a rain coat, which was in the entryway of his home. They had sex against his door, much too impatient to get to the bedroom.

With an internal groan, she threw on the rain coat and called a taxi.

Jack awoke late in the day; he moaned at the time on his alarm clock and then felt for body heat on the opposite side of the bed. When his hand encountered no soft warm flesh, he sat up. Sam was not in bed with him. He then listened for movement about the small apartment and heard nothing. He knew she had left.

Anger burned hot and hard within his gut, why did she leave? He made love to the woman all night long. He slept well past noon because of it.

He knew why she left; she was trying to distance herself from him. Perhaps now that her boyfriend Jared was in town, she only wanted sex with him. That thought alone stirred something within him.

He showered and dressed and then quit the apartment to go in search of his wayward lover.

Sam showered and dressed and slept a while longer in her bed; it was a very late night last night, and her physical activities had drained her.

She looked to her phone and saw Jared had called her, as well as Candy. With glee, she returned Candy’s call immediately.

“Hey, chika! I’m coming home in two days!” Candy exclaimed.

“Oh, I can’t wait. We will have to meet up as soon as you are here and well enough to receive company,” Sam replied.

“Oh, Sam that reminds me. Can you take Ethan clothes shopping when we get back? He has to return to school immediately, and I am in no shape to take him. He has resisted going for so long that the clothing he put on today finally ripped. Can you believe it?” Candy laughed at her husband’s eccentricities.

 “I can, of course. We will make a date of it for the day you return,” Sam suggested.

With a little more inane conversation, Sam hung the pone up and remembered that Jared called her.

“So, what happened last night, with Mr. Adonis?” Jared asked with a smile in his voice.

“That, Jared, is none of your business,” Sam staggered.
