Page 14 of Life After

Suzanne touched her forehead to Jen’s, admiring those hazel eyes. “I also don’t know what’s happening, but I’m not scared of where this is going. I don’t plan to slow down or stop and think. Life is too short to spend more time worrying and less time having fun.”

“You’re exactly my kind of woman.” Jen stole another kiss, nipping at Suzanne’s bottom lip. “Life is absolutely too short, and I think you and I know that all too well.”

Suzanne grinned. Her days with Jen in her life were about to become very interesting. “So, yoga sometime then?”

“Seems it’s time to test out my self-control.”

Chapter 6

Jen frownedas she scoured through the packages in the back of her van. It was Thursday, so why couldn’t she find Suzanne’s usual delivery?Fuck!She’d hoped to have an excuse to see her today. They hadn’t seen one another since the weekend, and Jen was missing her. Which was surprising given the fact they’d had one date. Sure, they’d shamelessly flirted all night, almost went too far, then proceeded to keep up that teasing the following day, but Jen shouldnotbe at the stage of missing this woman. Not yet. Okay, maybe she wasn’t quite missing her, but shedidlove spending time with Suzanne.

She checked through the packages again, still unable to find anything with Suzanne’s name on it. Maybe it was delayed. Or maybe Suzanne had stopped ordering from the company she usually used, meaning Jen may not see her as often. Once a week wasn’t reallythatoften, but it was better than nothing.

Jen took her phone from the side pocket in her cargo pants and pulled up her messages with Suzanne.

I don’t have a package for you today.

She signed off with a sad face, hoping Suzanne would find the humour in it.

My usual supplies were sold out. I’m also deeply saddened by this development.

Jen grinned as she sat down on the edge of the back of her van. Could she just sit here all day going back and forth with Suzanne? No, because then she wouldn’t get paid. Just because her mum had released her money back to her, it didn’t mean she had any plans to slack when it came to work. Working was the one thing that kept Jen sane most of the time.

I was hoping I’d see your beautiful face today. It always brightens up my week!

Jencouldjust show up there, but she didn’t like to disturb Suzanne. Especially now that she knew more about her and that she worked from home. She wasn’t just some sexy stay-at-home wife as Jen had once suspected. Though, that was incredibly hot when she thought about it.

Should I unplug my internet to get your attention again?

Oh, this woman was fun and it was just what Jen needed in her life.

I could always just show up and hope you answer the door to me.

Jen recalled those first few weeks. The way Suzanne arrived at the door with a twinkle in her eye, looking far sexier with each and every outfit. Could she ask her about that someday? Would Suzanne admit to luring Jen in?

Then I should change…

Fuck. What did that even mean? Jen tugged her bottom lip between her teeth, aware that she should really start her deliveries.

Why? What are you wearing?

Jen’s spine tingled. If she wasn’t careful, she would be sexting with Suzanne before the morning was over.

Too much.

Oh,Suzannewas too much. Jen was sure of that. First, the flirting when they were talking about yoga, and now this. Jen was sure they would both explode the moment they touched one another.

It is a gorgeous day outside. Maybe you should get rid of a layer.

Okay, it was time to stop. Jen had a job to do, as did Suzanne. She couldn’t afford to sit around here making herself wetter and wetter at the thought of getting her naked.

She got to her feet, closed the back of her van, and made her way to the front. As she slid into the driver’s seat and connected her phone to the dashboard, it started to ring. “Hi, Mum. You okay?”

“You didn’t make your lunch this morning, love. Do you have cash on you to pick something up?”

“Um, yeah. I have my bank card.” Jen pulled out of the depot and made her way towards the first delivery of the day.

“Or I could make it, and you could drop in for it if that would save you some money?”
