unless you want your own.” Jack said staring at me. “Your room is fine.” I said. “I know we just got here, but it’s kind of late and I’ve had a really long day. Do you mind if we just go up?” He asked. “That sounds good to me.” Jack grabbed our suitcases and I followed him up the stairs. “The bathroom is the second door on the left.” “Thanks.” I said as I grabbed a pair of pink plaid pajama bottoms and my toiletries bag. When I got into the bathroom, I pulled off my fleece and my workout pants. I applied lotion to my legs before I put on my pajama bottoms. I wasn’t sure what to expect this weekend, but I was glad that I took the time to shave my legs this morning. I quickly brushed my teeth and grabbed my stuff before heading back to Jack’s room. I nearly fell over when I walked in his door. Jack had traded his jeans for a pair of light blue striped pajama bottoms, however he opted to go shirtless and oh my goodness! He didn’t have ripped, bulging muscles but he was nicely, and maybe a bit deliciously, toned and defined. I managed to look away from him long enough to put my stuff in my carry on. Jack propped two pillows up against the wall and he was sitting on the bed leaning up against them. He motioned for me to come over to him with two fingers and he patted the spot next to him on the bed. I walked over to the bed feeling really shy all of the sudden. I wasn’t sure why. It’s not like I had never spent the night with a guy before. I mean we’re just two adults sleeping in the same bed right? I climbed into bed next to him and all I could think was warm....shirtless....muscles. Jack turned off the lights and slid down in the bed so that we were lying face to face. He reached out his hand and caressed my cheek softly with his fingertips. His hand found its way down the middle of my back and he pulled me closer to him. Instinctively, I reached my hand up and ran my fingers through his hair. Jack leaned his face down and pressed his soft, warm lips against mine. My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest and I was pretty sure Jack could feel it. We laid there kissing for a few minutes, and I was starting to think I was glad I grabbed the cute panties, when Jack pulled away. Through the darkness I could see the smile plastered across his face “I really like you Chloe.....a lot.” Jack said softly. “I really like you too Jack.” “Goodnight.” He said kissing my forehead. “Goodnight.” I whispered. I turned over onto my side and, with Jacks arms wrapped around me, I quickly fell asleep. ~*~ When I woke up the next morning, Jack and I were still cuddled up close together. “Good morning.” He said leaning over me to nuzzle my cheek. “Good morning.” I said, smiling to myself. We laid there for a few minutes before Jack kissed my cheek and jumped out of bed. “I’m making pancakes. Come down when you’re ready.” Jack announced as he pulled on a t-shirt and ran downstairs. With the biggest smile plastered on my face, I pulled myself out of bed and strolled into the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. I glanced at myself and was instantly glad that I didn’t just jump out of bed and run downstairs. I had the world’s worst case of bed head on one side of my head. I will never understand how my hair will be perfectly straight when I go to bed yet I wake up looking like Don King. I tamed it down as best as I possibly could before joining Jack in the kitchen. “Need any help?” I asked. “No, I’m good, but thanks for offering.” “The view here is gorgeous.” I said as I sat down at the kitchen table and gazed out the sliding glass door. The morning sun was dancing across the tiny ripples in the river. Dozens of trees surrounding the water had already lost most of their leaves, but they still provided a pretty back drop. “I love it here. It’s so peaceful. This is my favorite place to be when I feel like I just need
