Page 85 of A Change Of Heart

"I didn't want to be pushy, which obviously I was after you made all those excuses why I should stay here and not come with you."

The hospital.She'd said a lot of things that she shouldn't have.The more she was with him, the more she knew how hard it would be to leave.

He shrugged."Figured you might want this to be a solo trip, but now...I can’t imagine being separated from you again."

The sincerity in his eyes brought tears to her own.He clasped her shoulders and drew her to him."You believe me, don't you?"

"Yes.I want to so much."

"Then let me convince you."Jason took her wineglass and placed it next to his, drawing her so close she could feel his hip bone, his tight abs, his thighs.She could hear his heart beating as loud as her own.His eyes darkened and he kissed her with such desire she had no thoughts or doubts in her head.

"Whoa, Romeo.We're going to need some sustenance for stamina."

They ordered from the nearest Chinese restaurant, sat on the floor, and fed each other with chopsticks, which more often than not ended up on the curve of her throat or tip of her breast.He took full opportunity to rescue the delicious Penang chicken with his tongue and his lips.

When they’d eaten their fill, they put the cartons away for another bachelor dinner, and he pulled her close to snuggle.

"It's been an exhausting day and is getting late," Jason murmured against her cheek."Would you share my bed for the night?"

"Now, that's a question I don't mind answering."She kissed him tenderly."Let's go."

During the night they loved and laughed and made exciting plans for their future.And when she woke in the morning, she knew that all was right in the world, and she'd found happiness at last.
