Chapter Fourteen

Lance managed to resist closing the center early, but only barely. She had to bite her tongue to keep from screaming at the stragglers, forcing a smile when she followed the last group to the door. One of the girls turned and politely said, "See you tomorrow, Ms. Lowe," making Lance felt terrible for her impatience.

She relaxed slightly. "See you tomorrow, Alice."

Finally alone, Lance shut the door and twisted the lock. She looked over the wreckage of the bowling alley and made an executive decision to ignore the mess until morning. She did a quick search to make sure no one was trying to hide out and shut off the lights before finally she went down the corridor to her personal space. The apartment was a palace compared to some of the places she'd been forced to stay since going on the run, but it was still small. The living room was central, with the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and a small spare room clustered around it.

She could tell the dim light coming from the bedroom was from the bedside lamps, and her hands shook as she crossed to stand in the doorway.

Jodie was on the bed, and the image was just so right that Lance nearly laughed. She was curled up on the far side of the bed, since she always slept to Lance's left, with her back to the door. She was on top of the blankets, dressed in a long blue T-shirt and apparently nothing else. Lance toed off her shoes and crawled carefully onto the bed, taking care not to disturb Jodie's sleep. She brushed Jodie's hair away from her neck and bent down, gently kissing the warm flesh until Jodie began to stir. Lance stretched out behind her and pulled Jodie close, arms wrapping around Jodie's waist as she began to nuzzle her.

Jodie lifted her head and pressed back against Lance. "Mmm. Hey."

"Hi," Lance whispered. "Did you get everything settled at home?"

Jodie rolled onto her back and put her arms around Lance. "Daphne is taking care of Danica. We have a new mechanic at the garage, so..."

"Is the new mechanic better than I was?"

"Negligible."

Lance chuckled and kissed Jodie's lips. The kiss deepened until Lance shifted, moving to settle on top of Jodie. Jodie spread her legs and let Lance slip between them. "Missed you," Jodie said between kisses.

"You don't know how much I've missed you," Lance said. She kissed Jodie's cheeks, her eyelids, and her forehead. "How long can you stay?"

"Two weeks," Jodie said.

"Will we make love every night?"

Jodie pulled Lance down for another kiss before she answered, gasping, "Sometimes twice. Three times."

Lance kissed down Jodie's throat, to the collar of her T-shirt. "In the shower?"

Jodie groaned and ran her fingers through Lance's hair. "Claire..."

Lance slid her hands up Jodie's side, drawing up her shirt until she could grab the hem. Jodie twisted to help her, lifting both arms just long enough to get the shirt off and to toss it across the room. Lance kissed Jodie's bare chest, kissing away the lingering dampness from her bath.
