One Week Later

“Are you having fun?”

“A blast,” I admit, and I am. We’re taking a tour of the harbor watching for dolphins. The boat is crowded, but Stone has his arm around me, and I have none of the unease that I normally have around large crowds. I’m wearing a soft pink jumper that I think highlights my face and looks good with my hair. I’ve French braided my hair and have on my designer sunglasses. I don’t usually spend a lot of money, especially since I live on a budget, but sunglasses are a must in the hot Oklahoma sun, so I shell out for the better ones.

Stone’s fingers brush back and forth against my arm, making my entire body tingle. I’m slowly letting go of the hang-ups I have with my body. I am certain that whatever issues I have, Stone doesn’t have them. That day after I confessed my worries to him, he took me in the shower and bathed every inch of me and washed my hair. He didn’t make love to me, but his fingers caressed everywhere and his lips followed the blazing path he made. For the first time in my life, I felt beautiful. Stone made me believe I was beautiful. It’s not going to happen overnight, but slowly he’s eating away at years of self-doubt that small minded people and bullies have put in my head. I didn’t realize how big the scars were that Grayson managed to open up and bring back to life, but somehow Stone is destroying them.

There’s only one problem.

Stone hasn’t tried anything else since that afternoon on the beach—the shower notwithstanding. But he kept his promise even then and didn’t make love to me or try. At first, I was relieved, but now there are times when I feel like I can’t breathe. Despite how I started out, now all I want is for Stone to take control and make love to me.

After one week of his constant attention, of hand holding, cuddling watching movies, going out sightseeing and a few kisses and not much else, I’m starting to feel like I’ve missed my chance with Stone. Maybe now that he realizes how easily I could be his, I’m not a challenge?

Stone and I even sleep together—although we’re always in pajamas. Surely if he still desired me he’d make a move? I know I’m about ready to. I’m not sure I can wait much longer. The only thing that stops me is fear that he might not want me. Which is crazy, I know. He told me he did. How could he change his mind so quickly? He couldn’t, right?

All I know is that my unanswered questions are slowly driving me insane.

“You’re quiet,” Stone murmurs into my ear.

“I’m just thinking.”

“What about, sweetheart?” he asks, and I feel his lips brush against my shoulder.

“Just how much I’ve enjoyed the past couple of days with you, but…”

“But?”

“We’re not getting much work done.”

“Let me worry about that, Jessa. You just relax and have fun.
