"Don't make me repeat myself princess, who did this to you?" He growled.
"No one." I whispered looking away "I hit my hand, you know how clumsy I get."
He scoffed "listen here princess, you're a lot of things but clumsy isn't one of them, now tell me who the hell did this to you?"
I shook my head, "it doesn't matter."
If looks could kill, I would have been six feet under.
"Doesn't matter?" He echoed "someone put their filthy hands on you and you're telling me it doesn't matter."
"I don't want you to get into trouble. Just let it be." I pleaded grabbing his hand. He stared at me letting out a curse.
"If you don't tell me who did this, I will find out and mark my words princess, that fucker will regret ever laying his dirty hands on you."
I knew he meant every word. Jason never made threats, he only made promises. He stood and made his way back to the truck.
"God Anna, you're so stupid." I whispered staring at the red angry scratch. I should have hidden it better, now Jason wasn't going to rest till he found out who was responsible. I looked over to see him walking back with a small first aid kit.
He sat next to me and gently grabbed my hand from my lap. I watched him soak a piece of cotton in the antiseptic before dabbing it across the injury. I hissed in pain.
"It stings." I cried out.
"Well its alcohol it's suposed to sting otherwise it's not doing its job" he murmured grabbing another wet cotton ball and cleaned it one last time. He placed a soft kiss above the scratch.
"You're still not going to tell me?" He asked looking up at me. I shook my head biting my lip. He sighed pulling me into his arms, my chest pressed up against his.
"You're so stubborn." He whispered "I learnt from the best." I replied as he laid down with me on top of him, my legs on either side of him, I was basically straddling him, his hands on my waist.
"So what else did you shop for?" He whispered. "I got a new lipgloss too." I answered. "Coconut."
"Mmm..." he moaned "Can I have a taste?"
"Uh huh." I answered leaning down, connecting our lips. He deepened the kiss, moving one of his hands from my waist to my hair. He rolled me onto my back, pulling away to look down at me.
"God you're amazing." He whispered in awe, "ditto" I replied, his hands moved to my bare thigh, gently caressing the soft skin there.
"That reminds me, I got you something." He said getting to his feet. He walked to his car, I sat up, folding my legs, waiting for him. He came back, holding a brown bag.
"What's that?" I asked, he smirked sitting opposite me. "Here you go."
I collected the bag and peeked inside, gasping,.looking up at him.
"Go on princess."
I pulled out the small poetry book. "Oh my God... where did you get this?" I asked.
"Gladys, I helped her with some yard work and she said I could have it and well... I know how much you love poetry." H explained. I leaned over and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you." I whispered flipping it open. He laid back down and I cuddled up to his side, his hand stroking my hair.
"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..."
*****************************************
A phone buzzing repeatedly pulled me out of my sleep, looking around I realised we had fallen asleep curled up in each other's embrace and it was dark.
It was dark!!!
Shit!!
I scrambled around looking for my phone, waking Jason in the process.
"What the?!! Oh s**t!!!" He cursed, I finally found my phone and saw three missed calls from Janice and two from my parents.I was dead!!! They were going to kill me. With a racing heart, I called Janice back who answered immediately.
"Where the hell are you?!!!" She hissed.
"With Jason... I'm sorry, we slept off and lost track of time." I explained, I could see Jason looking at me, concern evident in his eyes.
"Well you owe me big time!!! Your mum called asking about you apparently you didn't pick up when she called. I had to lie and tell her you left your phone in my car and you were in the house, then she wanted to talk to you and I had to lie again!!! And tell her I had gone to get us ice cream." She snapped. I sighed in relief, my shoulder slumping as my heartbeat returned to normal.
"Anyway, I told her you were staying over, my parents aren't around so I need someone to stay over and keep me company. She was okay with it so I guess there's no need for alarm."
"Thank you so much Janice. You are amazing."
"I know." She replied smugly, "Thanks to me you have a free night to spend with Mr Smexy himself. Just remember to wrap it up." She cackled before cutting the call.
Jason must have figured out what direction her last words had taken from the blush on my face, he smirked.
"I take it Janice saved the day?"
I nodded. "She told my mum I was staying over at her place."
"So where does that leave us?" He asked approaching me, his arms pulling me into his arms. I shrugged wrapping my arms around his shoulders.
"Well... my folks aren't in town, God knows where they are. I guess you could crash at mine." He whispered, I smiled up at him.
"I would love that."
He gathered up the blanket and we walked back to the truck, the drive back into town was a quiet one, the only sound coming from the radio. His hand was on my thigh, not letting go even to change gears.
We got to Jason's place and I got out looking around the neighbourhood before following Jason into the house. He flicked the lights on and it dawned on me this was the first time I was properly in his house. I looked around, it was bare, a shaggy looking carpet, bland furniture, it was no Upper Vermont but it had a certain charm to it.
"Come on, let's get some food into you." He said grabbing my hand, we walked through the living room to the kitchen, which was nothing out of the ordinary. I sat on a stool and watched as he walked around the kitchen grabbing a bowls and a pot as he went.
"What's on the menu?" I asked. He placed the pot in the sink filling it with water and transferred it to the stove.
"Pasta." He answered approaching me and standing in between my legs.
"I like having you in my kitchen." He whispered against my lips.
"I like being here too." I replied connecting our lips. He moaned into the kiss, my eyes fluttering close. I let him lift me into his arms, my legs wrapped around his waist. My hands reaching up into his hair to pull the rubber band away, his hair falling into my fingers.
"I want you so bad." He whispered against my lips. My fingers tightened in his hair and I deepened the kiss. He let out a growl, his fingers digging into my thighs.
My lips left his and travelled down his neck, sucking and leaving marks.
"f**k princess" he cursed. I could tell he was walking but I couldn't care less, I just wanted him no, I needed him. The sound of a door opening didn't stop me even as he set me down onto my feet, my lips moved back to his, while his hands moved from my waist to my bum as he walked us back towards the bed.
His legs hit the edge of the bed and he pulled me with him as he fell onto the bed, his lips never leaving mine. He rolled us over so that he was on top. I unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his toned arms, pushing it down his shoulders as he moved to my neck, gently sucking and biting on the skin. He pulled away to remove his sleeveless tank and went in for another kiss.
"f**k I love you" he mumbled against my lips, I hummed a reply dragging my nails across his back as his hands toyed with the hem of my gown that had risen up to my waist. I hiked a leg around his waist pulling him down towards me before letting out a moan when he brushed up against me.
"Do you want me to stop?" He asked pulling away from the kiss, I caressed his face staring at him, his eyes blazing with love and devotion. I was sure my eyes mirrored the same emotions. I pulled him back in and claimed his lips and his hands went to work pulling my gown off me.
