I'm beat

My shoulders drooped as I hung my coat, hat and effects up before my boots. I went to the dresser and changed into a pair of shorts and a big white button up shirt.

I let my hair, that was in a loose bun, out and free. I scratched my head, enjoying the release of my hair. I then took a rag and some distilled water and cleaned my face and body to the best of my abilities.

Feeling satisfied with my nightly routine, I crawled into bed and shut my eyes. I was almost asleep when I felt a shift in the bed and I know I was half asleep but I know what it feels like when someone is crawling into bed with me.

My eyes snapped open and I went to jump up but a hand was put over my mouth

"It's just me, relax. This be me bed too so the least you could do is let me get some rest in it"

Jack spoke tiredly as I instantly calmed down. I blushed, relaxing a but and lied back down, rolling on my side to face him. I was still suspicious and on guard however.

"What the hell are you doing here really? You think me that naive?"

I asked with a raised brow

"I would just like to offer my services. Maybe help with a distraction from the storm in your head"

He said smirking. I blinked twice, taken back by his words. I raised a brow

"What services?"

I asked with skepticism.

Jack gently pushed me on my back and before I could say or do anything he placed his lips on top of mine. My eyes widened as I tried to push him off but the longer we stayed like that the less I fought. I was surprised with how..good it felt..

Normally anyone who tried this with me was left with a bullet to the head but this felt so..different.
It was gentle..almost asking for permission to keep going.

Feeling the bitter taste of loneliness for so long.. it felt strangely nice to be held and kissed like this..it was new to me..and I should of stopped it..I should have said no but the deepest part of me..even for just one night...wanted to feel... something other than numbness.

Just let go Jessica...for one night just let go

I let out a raspy sigh, laying down all the way and relaxing my body as I wrapped my arms around Jack and kissed him back.

For the time, I didn't care about the reservations I had for him or for getting close to anyone..I just wanted to feel anything in that moment..

For the time I just wanted to feel...to feel the warm touch of another..

"Just let me take you away from all of this..if but for a moment. I swear to you, this is for you not me"

Jack whispered in my ear. I inhaled deeply and nodded as I exhaled.

"Open your eyes, love. It's alright to want this. It's alright to have desires. You are not undeserving of it..you deserve to have your body and your mind cherished...and I will show you"
