CHAPTER TEN

Trying to think of a response to all that Jackson had said, I took a deep breath, then another, but I found I just couldn’t speak. I was too overcome by too many different things. For one, I was still utterly drained from the events of the morning. That made it hard to even fathom how I was going to make a decision about whether I’d go back to Detroit in the time machine, and soon, or stay in D.C. with Jackson. Also, I was still trying to wrap my brain around what he’d said about his desire for an heir having taken a distant backseat to my personal happiness. It was all just a bit too much to immediately process, to say the least.

Instantly seeming to sense that I was at a loss, Jackson moved his hands from my face to my shoulders, shaking his head. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, Vivian. You’ve had a hell of a morning with recalling certain unpleasant things about your past, and then facing a dragon in order to save Celeste’s life, and now I’ve just completely put you on the spot. That was completely unfair of me, considering what you’ve been through. You’re going to need time to think things through; I get that.

And in the meantime, I need to go check in with my men and see about the wounded. So, I’ll go now, and give you the time and space to think that you deserve... but do keep in mind what I said. Although we might wish it were otherwise, you will need to make your decision fairly soon. The Gorgolians will attack again, I’m sure of it, and we can’t guarantee that they might not be successful in destroying, or at least damaging, the time machine at some point.”

I nodded, looking deeply into his inky blue eyes. “I understand. I’ll... I’ll think fast. I’ll try to make up my mind as quickly as I can.”

“All right. Do take a little time to rest and relax first, maybe. Though I know that may be easier said than done. But just try to make the decision that you think is best for you, knowing that at this point, I only want your happiness, and I truly mean that.”

As if to prove his point, he dipped his head and planted an almost painfully slow, tender kiss on my mouth, teasing my lips apart with his, just slightly before pulling away, much to my disappointment. I realized that despite my exhaustion, I wanted him to keep on kissing me, and I wanted our kissing to possibly lead to other things, even. With memories of our lovemaking of the night before still fresh in my mind, I couldn’t help but contemplate a round two.

However, I knew that shouldn’t even be crossing my mind at present. I had a decision to make, and I didn’t want the memory of how good Jackson’s hands had felt sliding along my skin, or the memory of how good it had felt to have him moving inside of me, to factor into that.
