EXCERPT 3: Dan unlocked the door and led the way
inside the condo, then secured it again. Although not expecting to find
anything, he had Jenny stay by the entrance while he checked to make sure no
one else was there. “All clear, as I thought, just wanted to
make sure. Ready for bed?” Dan asked as he took Jenny’s hand to lead her
toward her room. “I don’t know if I can sleep, can I ask you
a huge favor?” Jenny turned to look into Dan’s eyes. She wanted to see how he
reacted to her request when she asked. “Sure, as long as it doesn’t take too much
energy, I’m beat.” “No, not too much.” Jenny smiled, and then
continued, “I don’t seem to be able to get warm, I just keep shaking. I was
hoping that you would hold me for awhile.” “I think I can handle that, it’s been a
long night for you. First putting up with all the guys’ shenanigans and then
afterwards when he showed up. Come on into your room let me
turn down your bed.” Dan led the way. Jenny had relented and left the curtains
open to show off the view of the bay; the lights twinkled on the water.
Leading her to stand by the window, he put his arm around her and held her as
they both looked out. After a few minutes, they both turned at the same time
to look at the other; words were lost as they looked into each other’s eyes.
As if in slow motion, Dan lowered his head and tentatively touched her lips
with his. When she offered no resistance, he wrapped his other arm around her
and tightened his embrace, touching his tongue lightly to hers. |
