Chapter 23
Erin lit her cigarette and sat on the sill of the window. She was nude except for a pair of panties. She took a deep drag and blew the smoke out of the window then looked back at the bed. Jason was sound asleep.
She glanced at her watch; it was 3 a.m. She hadnât been able to sleep after theyâd made love. That was something different for her. She usually fell right to sleep after she had been satisfied.
Instead, she had found herself perfectly content to simply hold him while he slept. She had not expected what had happened. She took another drag on her cigarette and stared out the window at the beautiful night. She had gone to bed with Jason because she had wanted him, and he was a nice guy. It was supposed to be a nice interlude from all the wolves in New York. Instead, it had turned out to be much more.
Here in this little cabin, in this old room, she had begun feeling things she was not prepared for. The moonlight was coming in through the window above the bed, bathing him in its soft light. He didnât look like the man who had so easily taken on three other men and handled them with an expertise she had not seen before. He didnât look like the tough Marine; he looked so much younger in his sleep. She had feelings rolling around that she never thought she would feel, much less for some Marine she had just met. She was smarter than that â she was more careful about these things, guarding herself from being hurt.
But something had happened when theyâd made love. Erin shook herself when she thought those words. She had had lots of sex. She really enjoyed sex and was not shy about making sure she got what she needed. In all those trysts, she had never thought of what happened as âmaking love.â
This time was different. They had made love. It had started as if they were going to have a roll in the hay. A nice friendly time in bed. Instead, Jason had taken over â and when he did, for the first time she felt someone making love to her. He had taken his time and was more worried about her pleasure than his own. They had not stopped after the first time. Instead, they had slowly built up and started again. Then again.
It was unexpected. Something special. For the first time since she was a kid in high school, the word love was floating in her head.
She took another drag on her cigarette. That word made no sense for the two of them. They would both be leaving for entirely different worlds. She had no time for acting like some silly schoolgirl. Jason turned over onto his back in his sleep. The sight of his body in the moonlight was enough to stir desire in Erin. He was lean and muscular in a way she had never seen before.
