The need they felt for each other was palpable and Suzy wondered if Jackson was going to take back his words, but as his lips continued to claim hers, tongue sweeping inside her mouth, fighting for domination, she knew she really had it bad for him.

Other women would have fled the moment they'd seen his face, but she didn't. Suzy wasn't one to believe in love at first sight. Heck, she refused to believe in love after her fall-out with Joo Hyuk, yet the moment she had seen Jackson's scarred face, something about him drew her to him.

He was so different from all the men she'd ever met and dated. Jackson fascinated her in a way that made her think of him more these days. She must be really losing her mind if she found his scars attractive and hot at the same time.

It didn't matter to her if he was scarred and broken. She would have him regardless. Suzy knew that it wasn't her job to fix him, but she was willing to help him see that there was more to life than lurking in the background, denying himself the happiness he deserved.

Their kiss was a bit sloppy and awkward due to Jackson's inexperience, but Suzy noticed that he was quite a fast learner. Her pulse fluttered with excitement at the thought of Jackson wanting her as much as she wanted him.

Suddenly, she found herself burning, in need of him. She wanted him to push her down on this very couch and ravage her, claim her as his. She was so engrossed in their kiss that she didn't notice that she had moved over his lap and straddled him.

Jackson stiffened, but didn't pull away. His kisses started to slow down and became more gentle, while his hands rested on her hips as they continued their kiss until he eventually pulled away. His eyes were a bit dazed when he looked at her.

Suzy heaved a deep breath and rested her forehead on his shoulder, trying to hide the intense redness on her face. Jackson must have realized the awkward position they were in now, but didn't push her away. She felt his hands move from her hips to her back and slowly rubbed it in circles. She could feel his chin resting on top of her head as he held her close.

"You aren't going to take back your words, are you?" She asked.

She didn't have the courage to look at his face, fearing what she would see in his eyes. Before he arrived, she'd been pondering how to confront him about what they had, afraid that he would reject her.

When she remembered the first kiss they had prior to this, Suzy thought that he would use it as an excuse to touch her, kiss her unbridled, but none of it happened as Jackson would always keep her at arm's length whenever they were together. It frustrated her and made her yearn for him at the same time.

There were times when she would shamelessly dream of kissing him for hours. Nothing else than losing themselves in each other's company, exploring each other's lips, not caring even if the world burned around them.

"I won't. I'll be with you for as long as you want me." Jackson replied.

A smile curved her mouth.

"Then you are bound to stay with me for a very long time." She giggled.

Yes. She wanted him. Wanted to be with him. Whether she would regret this decision or not, she would leave it to the sober Suzy in the future to deal with.

He chuckled, amused at her words. He could see that she wasn't repulsed by his horrendous scars, in fact she hadn't backed away and was eager to touch them.

"Sounds like a plan to me."

Suzy sighed and parted from him. She found Jackson watching her cautiously, his eyes never leaving her. She realized that she wasn't the only one who was afraid of this sudden change in their relationship.
