CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Jessica’s POV

I can’t believe he kisses me again.

Haven’t we just fought about this about an hour ago on the plane and never got to reach a resolution?

I knew we might end up kissing again for the sake of his family, but it didn’t occur to me that it would happen so soon, or that it would happen while we were sitting around with everyone, or that it would happen again without us getting to talk about the first time it happened.

And it certainly didn’t occur to me that I would like it.

He’s been calling me gorgeous, holding my hand, smiling at me, and being so encouraging, and I just… I wanted to kiss him, and I wanted him to kiss me.

I know it’s not right and that I’m only supposed to be smiling at him for show while still being mad at him, but I can’t stop thinking about kissing him.

He kisses me and it’s short and sweet, and I want more… So much more…

Then, within a second, he pulls away, turns away from me, and starts a different conversation when I can’t even remember what we’ve been talking about before he kissed me.

For the remainder of our gathering, I smile and nod when appropriate, but I don’t trust myself to talk again in case I say the wrong thing again and he ends up kissing me again and realizing just how desperately I want him to kiss me again.

“Are you guys tired from your flight?” Mrs. Sterling suddenly asks, looking between me and Edmund. “Would you like to go up to your room and rest?”

“No,” we both say in unison then stare at each other.

I know why I don’t want this… I can’t go up with him to the same room just yet. If we do so, I might end up kissing him again as soon as the door closes behind us, or I might end up starting a fight demanding that he stops kissing me and making me want more, or he might kiss me again and I’ll just let him, or we’ll have to talk and it’ll be awkward and I just can’t deal with this right now.

Are the same thoughts on his mind? Is he worried that if we get to be alone, we’ll somehow end up kissing because we both want more? Or is he worried I’ll confront him about it and start another fight with everyone so close by? Or is he worried I’m going to make this into more than the simple deal it is? Or is he just not tired?

“Great,” Henry smiles. “How about you and I catch up,” he looks at Edmund, “and the ladies get to know each other better?”

“Sure,” I agree, “just let me change my clothes and we can hang out.”

I go up to the bedroom with the one bed and close the door behind me.

This is going to be a long day.

All I want to do is lie down in bed and sleep for a bit,
