Chapter 21

“Are you sure you don’t want another?” Jack waves the blender jug, partially full of the remainder of my cocktail mix. I do, I really do, but I need to be sober when I go to sleep, just in case. I’ve been staying away from the alcohol for a while now.

“No thanks, I might have a peppermint tea.” It’s definitely a change in behavior for me and Jack noticed early on. At first, he thought I was pregnant. The look on his face was priceless when he finally had the courage to ask. He launched into a long speech about how much he loved me and would stand by me, no matter what, before asking the big question. I hadn’t laughed that hard in a while. I told him that I wouldn’t hide anything so important from him. He relaxed after that and gratefully became more involved in birth control. It made me feel guilty about not divulging the real reason I’d cut back on the drinking. But I have to make sure. The next time I see Zander I need to be coherent.

It’s still early when we go to bed. Jack’s wandering hands take my mind off Eli’s problems for the night. Jack’s had the extra drink I passed on and is in a very gleeful mood. He flips me onto my back and covers me with his body. I inhale his scent as he rains kisses over my neck and I fall happily into his playful lovemaking. Thoughts of Zander flash through my mind and I try to push them away. I can’t help wondering what it would be like with him. I’ve felt Zander’s hands gently poised on my waist, his arms sliding around to hold me, right before he picked me up and pinned me to the bed, just the way Jack has me now. My imagination leads me astray, letting me experience what it could have been like if I had stayed with Zander. Except, in my imagining there is no one else in the room, no quiet guy in the corner typing on his computer, only Zander on top of me, kissing every inch.

Jack.

I bring my mind back from its fantasy. I focus on Jack, on every part of my body that he’s touching and I don’t let my mind slip again. Jack. It feels wrong when you need to check whose name you’re calling before it departs your lips. If Jack notices my wayward mind, he doesn’t show it. I know there’s no way he could, but he feels so close to me during sex, so intimate, that he might be able to judge my soul. When we’re finished, he holds me as he always does, wraps his arms around me and tells me he loves me. It feels so safe in those arms. I tell him I love him too before closing my eyes and tucking into him. My hands lazily glide over his chest before they become too heavy to move.
