––––––––

Closing the door tomy car, I gripped the steering wheel and dropped my head against the edge. Closing my eyes, flashes of what had just happened began to move through my head.

I just had sex with Jayden Henry. . . At a wake.

What is wrong with me?

It felt like I had no control over my body, my mind, my actions. I was mesmerized, under his spell as he caressed me in ways I hadn't been touched in years.

Jayden always knew how to touch me, where I liked it, how gentle or rough to be. We had only had sex one time years ago, but we fooled around enough before that for him to know exactly where my spots were

Taking in a big breath of air, I let it out slowly as I took my keys off my lap and started the car. I went to be nice, I went to pay my respects to his family because it was the right thing to do.

But right then, I suddenly regretted going at all.

I didn't go thinking I'd be tugged into a bathroom and given the best orgasm I'd had in forever, the thought never even crossed my mind. But whatever spell he had cast on me took over.

It really was incredible.

Betty-Sue! Shame on yourself!

Peeling my head off the wheel, I sat in the parking lot, not really sure what to do. A part of me was trying not to care about what we did, it didn't mean anything, it was just sex.

He lost his dad, he already lost his mom when he was a kid, his emotions were probably running wild and crazy and he didn't know what he was doing. Maybe he had just reached out to someone, to me, to a person he had once trusted because he needed to feel some form of comfort.

He nailed me in a bathroom, that's not exactly looking for a hug.

Tapping my thumbs, I nibbled on my lower lip as my body buzzed with ghostly memories of his hands moving across my shoulders and down my ribs. I could still see his eyes, the way they devoured me, the way they were so deep and fierce, forcing my thighs to clench.

It meant nothing. He'll go back to wherever he came from, and I'll never see him again.

Putting the car in drive, I turned out onto the road, and headed home. Staring at the road like a zombie, my mind kept rewinding and replaying what had happened in that bathroom.

What the hell did I just do?

That wasn't me, that wasn't who I was. I had never just given myself to someone like that before. No one could get into my panties on the drop of a dime.

Except for him. . . Jayden made it way too easy to ignore my morals and just act on impulse.

Pulling into the driveway, I forced a smile and waved. Getting out of my car, my mother was sitting on the front steps of my house, her hands folded in her lap.

“Hey, was she good?” I asked, pulling my purse up my shoulder and walking over to her.

“Of course, when isn't she good?” Laughing, my mother pressed her hands into the top step and stood up. Wiping the sand off her palms, she said, “She spent the whole time out here looking for fireflies. Wonder where she gets that?”
