Mason

It felt so right.

Rachel Reid and me. Rachel Reid and Mason Jett. Ten years ago, it might have felt somehow inappropriate. Now that we were both adults, both grown people who understood each other—though she didn’t really understand me, no one did—the age difference didn’t matter as much. And frankly, for everything she’d been through, Rachel had more maturity than people older than me.

But it also felt so wrong.

I didn’t want to think about it too much, but the last time Rachel did something physical was probably when the encounter with the Bandits happened. Sure, she seemed into the kiss right now, her hands pulling me in close and holding me tight, but what happened beyond that? Was I really going to just pretend that since it had been so long ago, she’d moved on, and I could do anything?

No, that was absurd.

And so, with any other woman, by now, I would have reached under her shirt, unclasped her bra, and started playing with her body. With Rachel, I hesitated even to put my tongue in her mouth.

It was not the act of someone hesitant to get intimate. It was the deliberate, strong act of someone who knew all too well what sort of hell she’d gone through and was not willing to subject her to a pace that was anything beyond “extraordinarily cautious.”

So it went for what felt like a full minute, us just kissing, before Rachel paused, curled her fingers around my jacket, and buried her head into my chest, as if listening to my heartbeat.

“You’re nervous,” she said in surprise as if she’d expected something else.

I chuckled. Nervous wasn’t the right word—or at the very least, I wasn’t willing to admit it was the right word—but it was somewhat close to how I was feeling.

“I’m not going to do anything to hurt you.”

Rachel inhaled deeply, let it out slowly, and looked up at me. Her brown eyes looked so tender and sweet right there. She didn’t look like someone who’d spent the last decade more or less in hiding. She looked like someone who’d spent the last decade growing stronger, just waiting for the right moment to emerge.

“None of you ever have, and I don’t see any reason why any of you will,” she said. “Is that why you’re not pushing?”

I had to chuckle at that. I didn’t think Rachel had it in her to call me out for not pushing for sex, but here we were.

“I just think…”

“Say it.”

Fuck it. She wants honesty; she’s getting it.

“The last time you did anything physical was probably that night, wasn’t it?”

She nodded. It was as I’d feared. I didn’t so much fear the pressure of being “the first since…” as I wondered if she would crack when we finally did something more.

“Only you know how you’d handle it, but I don’t want to put you in a spot where you start having a breakdown in the middle of anything. You’ve been through enough shit once. I don’t need you to see it twice.
