Chapter Twenty-One

“Okay, you two, time to settle down. And no, you cannot have cake. Well, maybe a little lick of the spatula.” Ellie nudged Chewie away from his attempt to climb her leg and he landed on Buffy. Her big dog was spread out on Jackson’s kitchen floor, pawing Chewie and swatting him. Teasing him, but too tired to put in much effort. Chewie, however, didn’t seem to mind Buffy’s laziness at all. The little pup had enough energy for ten dogs and was jumping and darting and barking at Buffy’s attempts, while simultaneously trying to climb Ellie’s legs. She finished filling the last of the round pans with the yellow mixture that she’d infused with a tiny bit of passion fruit extract, and set them in the oven to bake. She had no idea what Jackson’s tastes were when it came to cake, so she decided to be bold and if he didn’t like it, she’d eat it.

The frosting had passion fruit in it too, with lemon zest for hints of color and a bit more tartness. Once the cakes were cooked and cooled, she could frost the layers and build the cake, hopefully after the dogs were asleep. “Let’s go play ball, boys and girls. That should wear you out.”

Eventually, Chewie did crash, draped over Buffy’s front paws right by the larger dog’s neck. But, boy, the crazies he expended before he dropped off to sleep, “If I had half your energy, cutie,” Ellie said while she finished decorating the small two-tiered cake. Saturday night and the house was quiet. Dark except for the kitchen. She’d made herself pasta, and drunk a glass of wine. She enjoyed baking and cooking in Jackson’s kitchen, but she’d prefer it if he came back.

And now that the cake was finished, the kitchen clean and the night settled in around her, she worried she’d made a mistake. What if he got angry with her? Dang, she hadn’t thought of that. She’d been hell-bent on trying to make his birthday a happy thing, but she had no idea why it was awful to begin with.

It felt strange to be in his house, use his things, sleep in Jackson’s bed without him, but after the last week of mental and physical exhaustion, she didn’t spend much time worrying, especially once she climbed under the covers, and imagined his warm strong body wrapped around hers.

Wow! Ellie excelled at sleeping. And she’d always had good dreams. But she’d never had such an amazing-felt-absolutely-real dream as this before.

She was cozy-warm and…aroused. Maybe she should do this more often, tell herself what kind of a dream she wanted to have before she fell asleep, and boom, she’d have it. Like right now. She’d gone to bed hoping to be wrapped up in Jackson and right now it felt like his arms were touching her. One wrapped under her body as she slept on her side and the other one found its way under her tank top to caress her breasts.
