Chapter Twelve

*Jason*

“When we find ourselves in a midlife depression, suddenly hate our spouse, our jobs, our lives – we can be sure that the unlived life is seeking our attention.”

Robert A Johnson

After Diane left for home, picking up my preferred bottle of lube was no problem. Sex shops are always open late. While I was there, I’d walked down the vibrator aisle and wondered if I shouldn’t pick one up for her.

I didn’t like the idea of Diane being without a means to satisfy herself, even if I wasn’t going to be the one doing it. A woman has needs, and I wanted hers met. Often.

Ultimately, I’d decided against it. For the time being. Maybe when we were together a bit longer, she’d let me take her to Big Todd’s. Then she could weigh her options and pick out just what she wanted. Maybe she’ll let me watch.

“Dammit.” I grimaced, bracing a hand against a hallway wall at the compound. I did not need mental imagery of me watching Diane touch herself. I already walked around half-hard all the damn time.

I’d been randy as a teenager for the past several weeks, ever since our first night together at the safehouse. Finding time during the day to ease the pain wasn’t an option. Thus, I woke up early to take care of business, and I settled round two at the safehouse after Diane left each night.

We’d been meeting there nearly every afternoon and we hadn’t done anything more than make out.

Well, that’s not true. We did other things. We talked a lot. Flirted. We pulled up maps and I’d shown her all the places in the world I’d visited while she looked at me like I was something amazing and brand new. I made her dinner. She made me dinner. We played poker and I taught her how to cheat.

We also watched movies on the couch, during which we’d invariably make out like two horny, fumbling, virginal teenagers.

It was . . . torture.

But God help me, the more I thought about it, the more I looked forward to it, and the more I dreaded the end of this phase. I couldn’t keep my hands off her when we were together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her when we were apart. I didn’t have to put on a show to appear angry and irritable and aggressive while at the compound. Every single wasted second in that hellhole pissed me right off and I found myself wondering more and more why I stayed.

Jess was gone. I’d always planned to leave after she took off. So why had I stayed this last year?

She’s sharper than a katana, all her poise and self-confidence is justified, and I go to sleep every night thinking about her eyes.

“Repo!”

My head snapped up and I scowled at the young recruit named Charms—eyes wide, movements agitated—at the end of the hall.

“You coked out?” I barked the question. “I told you to lay off that shit.” Even before Charms had come to us, he’d been an addict.
