Getting It Right (BOOK THREE)

Chapter 50

The room is dark when Sevyn wakes up. Her body feels tired and her legs are tight with a bit of soreness between them. She stirs in the sheets for a minute before finally sitting up and yawning. Her eyes flitter around the room, looking for the time and she grabs her phone, squinting as the harsh brightness of the screen temporarily blinds her.

7:15. Locking her phone she puts it to the side and tries to gather her thoughts. She looks down to see that she's wearing one of Jackson's shirts and nothing else.

The lights suddenly flicker on and Sevyn covers her eyes before she's blinded again. Peeking through her fingers, she sees Jackson walk through the door and shut it behind him. He sits next to her on the bed smelling of soap and a tinge of food.

"Had a good nap?" He says touching her messy hair. "I thought I killed you by mistake."

"What? Why would you think that?" She asks dropping her hands from her face.

He laughs before responding. "After I hit that spot you basically lost it. Had you shaking and everything."

Sevyn's mouth drops and her cheeks burn as she finally remembers what happened earlier. She gave Jackson the cookie.

"I told you you weren't ready for that work." Jackson smiles cockily at her.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Two hours," He says standing up. "Go take a quick shower then come downstairs. Everyone's wondering what's wrong with you.""

Sevyn groans, "We just took a shower."

"Yeah but you smell like sex." Jackson laughs at the sheepish expression on her face "But seriously get up. We've gotta get these sheets washed thanks to you."

Sevyn's face heats up again from embarrassment. She moves to get off the bed but her muscles ache everywhere. "Owww," she complains rubbing her legs that feel like over stretched rubber bands. So this is what people meant by the pain afterwards.

Jackson shakes his head. "You're such a baby." He leans over and scoops her into his arms, then carries to her the bathroom. He sets her down on the counter and turns on the shower to a good temperature. "There you go, princess."

"Thank you!" Sevyn calls on his way out.

"Yeah yeah," he fans away her thanks like it was nothing and closes the door. Sevyn slides off the sink and stands on her legs that feel like jelly. She takes off Jackson's shirt only to see the marks he left in a trail from her neck to her stomach. She gasps and touches the dark spots scattered across her skin.

"I definitely can't let my brothers see that." She says to herself, lightly brushing a small mark near her neck. Sevyn steps into the shower and pulls the door shut, she lets the warm water run over her skin and loosen up her muscles. As she washes up, she can't help but smile to herself. This is it. Her innocence is gone, given away to someone she loves. And she doesn't regret it one bit. She finally took that leap of faith and the thought of it gives her an excited buzz. She wishes she could call up Dr.Grey right now and share the new with her, but she decides to wait until she's returns to CT so that can be face to face.

After stepping out the shower and wrapping her  towel around her body, Sevyn waddles back into the room to see that Jackson has stripped the bed and disappeared downstairs. Sevyn pulls on her pajamas shorts and one of Jackson's t-shirt, then lotions her body in case her brothers decide to rank her about being ashy. She hopes that the collar of his shirt is enough to hide the small hickey on her neck, her brothers will start a riot if they see it.

When she head downstairs, she hopes that the events that took place in their room earlier isn't evident on her face and that her walk looks normal even though it feels awkward because her thighs are sore.
