Chapter 5

Bobby Jo woke with a weight on her chest. Groggy, she rubbed her eyes to clear her vision. An arm splayed across her torso, its hand just under her left breast. She quickly glanced over her shoulder.

I’m in bed with Jason?

Slowly, she slid his arm off, careful not to wake him. She peeked under the covers. No pants. Raising the sheets a little more, she saw he was in nothing but his tighty-whities. She quickly threw down the sheets, but curiosity got the best of her, and she lifted the cloth again to sneak another peek.

Holy crap!

Maybe her mother would be right in adding her name to the prayer list.

She tore off the blanket, found her clothes on the floor beside the bed, and raced to throw them on. The pounding in her head made the task more difficult. She tiptoed toward the door. A board creaked below her feet.

“Where are you going?” Jason croaked.

She jumped. “Umm...just to make some coffee.”

“I don’t drink coffee, and the kitchen is the other way. You were trying to sneak out, weren’t you?”

“No…umm…yes.” She turned toward him. He sat up on his elbows, the sheet falling to the tip of his underwear, the beginning of his happy trail showing. His pectoral muscles had a perfect roundness to them, one that made her wonder about other round parts of his anatomy. She couldn’t remember if she’d explored those parts during the night or not. “Did we…you know?”

“Honey, when we have sex, I promise you won’t have to ask.” A grin spread across his face. “Besides, puke breath doesn’t turn me on.”

Her back straightened. Puke breath? Vague memories of barfing all over some guy’s shoes came back to her.

“Now, you better get on back to the house. I’m sure Big Bill’s looking for you.”

She gripped the bedroom door handle and stopped; she didn’t know where the house was. “How do I get there from here?”

“Walk outside, and it’s the big white house in front of you. You can’t miss it.”

“Yeah, got it. Thanks.” She all but ran to the front door.

“Hey, Bobby Jo?” Jason hollered to her before she could open it.

She slowly turned. She could feel the temperature in her cheeks rise as she looked at him. “Yeah?”

He winked. “Did you enjoy your peek?”

A gasp escaped her throat. She turned and high-tailed it out of his house. She couldn’t believe he’d pretended to be asleep. He had some nerve.

Bobby Jo stalked across the yard, kicking up dust. His words played over in her mind, “...when we have sex...” He assumed they would. How dare he? She wasn’t some easy bimbo that got involved with just anybody.

Like she’d ever have sex with the likes of him, anyway.

Hell, who am I kidding?

From the moment she saw him at the airport, she’d wanted him. The thought of his arm wrapped around her all night sent a shiver down her spine. How close had they come? Had they kissed? Surely, she would remember.

She opened the large, red door to the farmhouse and peeked in.
